                materials provided by the General Partner or based upon written
                information furnished by or on behalf of the General Partner including,

              the
                Marketing Agent’s performance of its duties under this Agreement except in
                the case of this clause (e), for any loss, damage, expense, liability
                or
                claim resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
                the
                Marketing Agent; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement
                contained
                in clause (a) above with respect to any amended Preliminary Prospectus
                shall not inure to the benefit of the Marketing Agent (or to the
                benefit
                of any Person controlling the Marketing Agent) from whom the Person
                asserting any such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim purchased
                the
                Units which is the subject thereof if the Prospectus corrected any
                such
                alleged untrue statement or omission in any case where the Marketing
                Agent
                was required to send or give a copy of the Prospectus to such Person
                by
                the 1933 Act, the General Partner had notified the Marketing Agent
                of the
                amendment or supplement prior to the sending of the written confirmation
                of sale and the Marketing Agent failed to send or give a copy of
                the
                Prospectus to such Person, unless the failure is the result of
                noncompliance by the General Partner with paragraph (c) of Section
                5.1
                hereof.

            


    

    


    In
      no
      case is the indemnity of the General Partner in favor of the Marketing Agent
      and
      such other Persons as are specified in this Section 7.1 to be deemed to protect
      the Marketing Agent and such Persons against any liability to the General
      Partner or the Fund to which the Marketing Agent would otherwise be subject
      by
      reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance
      of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and
      duties under this Agreement.

    If
      any
      action, suit or proceeding (each, a “Proceeding”) is brought against the
      Marketing Agent or any such Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought
      against the General Partner pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, the Marketing
      Agent or such Person shall promptly notify the General Partner in writing of
      the
      institution of such Proceeding and the General Partner shall assume the defense
      of such Proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory
      to such indemnified party and payment of all fees and expenses; provided,
      however, that the omission to so notify the General Partner shall not relieve
      the General Partner from any liability which it may have to the Marketing Agent
      or any such Person except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced
      by such failure and has not otherwise learned of such Proceeding. The Marketing
      Agent or such Person shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel
      in
      any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense
      of the Marketing Agent or of such Person unless the employment of such counsel
      shall have been authorized in writing by the General Partner in connection
      with
      the defense of such Proceeding or the General Partner shall not have, within
      a
      reasonable period of time in light of the circumstances, employed counsel to
      have charge of the defense of such Proceeding or such indemnified party or
      parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available
      to
      it or them which are different from, additional to or in conflict with those
      available to the General Partner (in which case the General Partner shall not
      have the right to direct the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of the
      indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses
      shall be borne by the General Partner and paid as incurred (it being understood,
      however, that the General Partner shall not be liable for the expenses of more
      than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one
      Proceeding or series of related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction
      representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such Proceeding).


    


    The
      General Partner shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding
      effected without the General Partner’s written consent but if settled with the
      General Partner’s written consent, the General Partner agrees to indemnify and
      hold harmless the Marketing Agent and any such Person from and against any
      loss
      or liability by reason of such settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing
      sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an
      indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses
      of
      counsel as contemplated by the second sentence of this paragraph, then the
      indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any
      Proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is
      entered into more than 60 Business Days after receipt by such indemnifying
      party
      of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have fully
      reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the
      date of such settlement and (iii) such indemnified party shall have given the
      indemnifying party at least 30 Business Days’ prior notice of its intention to
      settle. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the
      indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding
      in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and
      indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless
      such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party
      from
      all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and
      does
      not include an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on
      behalf of such indemnified party.

    6.2 The
      Marketing Agent agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Fund,
      the General Partner and its partners, holders of Units, members, directors,
      officers, employees and any Person who controls the General Partner within
      the
      meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and
      the
      successors and assigns of all of the foregoing Persons, from and against any
      loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of
      investigation) which the General Partner any such Person may incur under the
      1933 Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss,
      damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue
      statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in and in
      conformity with information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the
      Marketing Agent to the General Partner expressly for use in the Registration
      Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended or supplemented by any
      post-effective amendment thereof) or in a Prospectus, or arises out of or is
      based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in
      connection with such information required to be stated in such Registration
      Statement or such Prospectus or necessary to make such information not
      misleading.

    


    The
      Marketing Agent will also indemnify the General Partner as stated above insofar
      as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based
      upon
      the Marketing Agent’s performance of its duties under this Agreement, except in
      the case of any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim resulting from the
      gross negligence or willful misconduct of the General Partner. In no case is
      the
      indemnity of the Marketing Agent in favor of the General Partner to be deemed
      to
      protect the General Partner and such Persons against any liability to the
      Marketing Agent to which the General Partner would otherwise be subject by
      reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance
      of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and
      duties under this Agreement.

    


    If
      any
      Proceeding is brought against the General Partner or any Person referred to
      in
      the preceding paragraph in respect of which indemnity may be sought against
      the
      Marketing Agent pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, the General Partner or
      such
      Person shall promptly notify the Marketing Agent in writing of the institution
      of such Proceeding and the Marketing Agent shall assume the defense of such
      Proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to
      such
      indemnified party and payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however,
      that
      the omission to so notify the Marketing Agent shall not relieve the Marketing
      Agent from any liability which it may have to the General Partner or any such
      Person except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such
      failure and has not otherwise learned of such Proceeding. The General Partner
      or
      such Person shall have the right to employ their own counsel in any such case,
      but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the General
      Partner or such Person unless the employment of such counsel shall have been
      authorized in writing by the Marketing Agent in connection with the defense
      of
      such Proceeding or the Marketing Agent shall not have, within a reasonable
      period of time in light of the circumstances, employed counsel to defend such
      Proceeding or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded
      that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from
      or
      additional to or in conflict with those available to the Marketing Agent (in
      which case the Marketing Agent shall not have the right to direct the defense
      of
      such Proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party or parties, but the Marketing
      Agent may employ counsel and participate in the defense thereof but the fees
      and
      expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Marketing Agent), in
      any
      of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the Marketing Agent
      and
      paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that the Marketing Agent shall
      not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition
      to
      any local counsel) in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings in
      the
      same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such
      Proceeding).

    The
      Marketing Agent shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding
      effected without the written consent of the Marketing Agent but if settled
      with
      the written consent of the Marketing Agent, the Marketing Agent agrees to
      indemnify and hold harmless the General Partner and any such Person from and
      against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. Notwithstanding
      the
      foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested
      an
      indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses
      of
      counsel as contemplated by the second sentence of this paragraph, then the
      indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any
      Proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is
      entered into more than 60 Business Days after receipt by such indemnifying
      party
      of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed
      the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of
      such
      settlement and (iii) such indemnified party shall have given the indemnifying
      party at least 30 Business Days’ prior notice of its intention to settle. No
      indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
      party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect
      of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity
      could
      have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement
      includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability
      on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

    


    7.3 The
      indemnity agreements contained in this Section 7 and the covenants, warranties
      and representations of the General Partner contained in this Agreement shall
      remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or
      on
      behalf of the Marketing Agent, its partners, stockholders, members, directors,
      officers, employees and or any Person (including each partner, stockholder,
      member, director, officer or employee of such Person) who controls the Marketing
      Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the
      Exchange Act, or by or on behalf of each of the General Partner, the Fund,
      their
      partners, stockholders, members, directors, officers, employees or any Person
      who controls the General Partner or the Fund within the meaning of Section
      15 of
      the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and shall survive any
      termination of this Agreement or the initial issuance and delivery of the Units.
      The General Partner and the Marketing Agent agree promptly to notify each other
      of the commencement of any Proceeding against it and, in the case of the General
      Partner, against any of the General Partner’s officers or directors in
      connection with the issuance and sale of the Units, or in connection with the
      Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

    DURATION

    


    This
      Agreement shall become effective on the date hereof and continue for an initial
      term of one (1) year from the date of this Agreement and will include any
      renewal term of this Agreement and will last until the expiration of this
      Agreement or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its
      terms (the “Term”). This Agreement will automatically be renewed for successive
      one (1) year periods unless, no later than thirty (30) calendar days prior
      to
      the end of the then-current Term, either the Marketing Agent, on the one hand,
      or the General Partner, on the other hand, elects to terminate this Agreement
      by
      delivering written notice thereof to the other party. Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated by any party upon written notice
      to
      the other parties if (a) the Fund is terminated, (b) any other party becomes
      insolvent or bankrupt or files a voluntary petition, or is subject to an
      involuntary petition, in bankruptcy or attempts to or makes an assignment for
      the benefit of its creditors or consents to the appointment of a trustee or
      receiver, provided that the General Partner may not terminate this Agreement
      pursuant to this provision if the event relates to the General Partner or the
      Fund or (c) any other party willfully and materially breaches its obligations
      under this Agreement and such breach has not been cured to the reasonable
      satisfaction of the non-breaching party prior to the expiration of ninety (90)
      days after notice by the non-breaching party to the breaching party of such
      breach.

              The
                General Partner and the Marketing Agent shall during the Term and
                for one
                (1) year thereafter maintain in confidence, use only for the purposes
                provided for in this Agreement, and not disclose to any third party,
                without first obtaining the other party’s consent in writing, any and all
                Confidential Information (as defined below) such party receives from
                the
                other party; provided, however, that either party may disclose
                Confidential Information received from the other party to those of
                its
                Representatives as may be necessary for such party to carry out its
                obligations under this Agreement. 

            


    

    


    
      	 	 	
              “Confidential
                Information” shall mean all information or data of a party that is
                disclosed to or received by the other party, whether orally, visually
                or
                in writing, in any form, including, without limitation, information

                no
                liability to the other party for the disclosure or use of any Confidential
                Information of the other party if the Confidential

              (i)

            	
              is
                known to such party at the time of disclosure other than as the result
                of
                a breach of this Section 9 by such
                party;

            


    

    


    
      	 	 	
              (ii)

            	
              has
                been or becomes publicly known, other than as the result of a breach
                of
                this Section 9 by such party, or has been or is publicly disclosed
                by the

              is
                received by such party after the date of this Agreement from a third
                party
                (unless such third party breaches an obligation of confidentiality
                to the
                other party); or

                required to be disclosed by Law or similar compulsion or in connection
                with any legal proceeding, provided that such party shall promptly
                inform
                the other party in writing of such requirement and that such disclosure
                shall be limited to the extent so required and, except to the extent
                prohibited by Law, such party shall reasonably cooperate with the
                other
                party (at the expense of the other party) in seeking a protective
                order or
                other suitable confidentiality
                protections.

              The
                parties recognize and acknowledge that a breach or threatened breach
                by a
                party of the provisions of this Section 9 may cause irreparable and
                material loss and damage to the other party which cannot be adequately
                remedied at law and that, accordingly, in addition to, and not in
                lieu of,
                any damages or other remedy to which the non-breaching party may
                be
                entitled, the issuance of an injunction or other equitable remedy
                (without
                the requirement that a bond or other security be posted) is an appropriate
                remedy for the non-breaching party for any breach or threatened breach
                of
                the obligations set forth in this Section
                9.

              Each
                party agrees that it will use the same degree of care, but no less
                than a
                reasonable degree of care, in safeguarding the Confidential Information
                of
                the other party as it uses for its own Confidential Information of
                a
                similar nature. Each party shall promptly notify the other party
                in
                writing of any misuse, misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure
                of the
                Confidential Information of the other party which may come to such
                party’s
                attention.

                the termination of this Agreement, if requested in writing by a party,
                the
                other party shall, at such party’s option, promptly destroy or return to

                copies and extracts of such Confidential Information and all documents

      fullest extent permissible under the Law and public policies applied in each
      jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, in the event that
      any
      provision of this Agreement would be held in any jurisdiction to be invalid,
      prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such
      jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining
      provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of
      such
      provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such
      provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited
      or
      unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so
      narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement
      or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
      jurisdiction.

    10.8 Governing
      Law; Jurisdiction.

    


    
      	 	
              (a)

            	
              All
                questions concerning the construction, interpretation and validity
                of this
                Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance
                with, the domestic laws of the State of New York, without giving
                effect to
                any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether in the State
                of
                New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application
                of
                the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. In
                furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the State of New
                York
                will control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement,
                even
                if under such jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis,
                the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily or
                necessarily apply.

            


    

    


    
      	 	
              (b)

            	
              Each
                party irrevocably consents and agrees, for the benefit of the other
                parties, that any legal action, suit or proceeding against it with
                respect
                to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter arising out of or in
                connection with this Agreement may be brought in the courts of the
                State
                of New York and hereby irrevocably consents and submits to the
                non-exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in Personam, generally
                and
                unconditionally with respect to any action, suit or proceeding for
                itself
                and in respect of its properties, assets and revenues. Each party
                irrevocably waives any immunity to jurisdiction to which it may otherwise
                be entitled or become entitled (including sovereign immunity, immunity
                to
                pre-judgment attachment and execution) in any legal suit, action
                or
                proceeding against it arising out of or based on this Agreement or
                the
                transactions contemplated hereby or thereby which is instituted in
                any
                court of the State of New York.

            


    


    
      
        
        

      

      
        23

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    


    The
      provisions of this Section 10.8 shall survive any termination of this Agreement,
      in whole or in part.

    


    10.9 No
      Partnership. Nothing
      in this Agreement is intended to, or will be construed to constitute the General
      Partner or the Fund, on the one hand, and the Marketing Agent, on the other
      hand, as partners or joint venturers; it being intended that the relationship
      between them will at all times be that of independent contractors.

    


    10.10 Force
      Majeure.
      Neither
      party will be liable to any other party for any delay or failure to perform
      its
      obligations under this Agreement (except for the payment of money) if such
      delay
      or failure arises from or is due to any cause or causes beyond the reasonable
      control of the party affected which impedes, delays or aggravates any obligation
      under this Agreement, including, without limitation, acts of God, acts of any
      Governmental Entity, labor disturbances, act of terrorism or act of public
      enemy
      due to war, the outbreak or escalation of hostilities, riot, fire, flood, civil
      commotion, insurrection, severe or adverse weather conditions, power failure
      or
      computer or communications line failure.

    


    10.11 Interpretation.

      article and section headings contained in this Agreement are solely for the
      purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the parties and shall
      not
      in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

    


    10.12 No
      Strict Construction.
      The
      language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by
      the
      parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction
      will
      be applied against any party.

    


    10.13 Counterparts;
      Facsimile Signatures.
      This
      Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall
      be
      deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
      instrument. Facsimile counterpart signatures to this Agreement shall be
      acceptable and binding.

    This
      United States 12 Month Oil Fund, LP Authorized Purchaser Agreement (the
“Agreement”), dated as of [_________________], 2007
      is
      entered into by and among United States 12 Month Oil Fund, LP (the “Fund”)
      Victoria Bay Asset Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and
      the
      general partner of United States 12 Month Oil Fund, LP (the “ General Partner”),
      on behalf of itself and as General Partner of United States 12 Month Oil Fund,
      LP, and [AUTHORIZED
      PURCHASER]., a [STATE/ TYPE OF ENTITY]
      (the
“Authorized Purchaser”).

    


    SUMMARY

    


    The
      General Partner serves in its capacity as General Partner of United States
      12
      Month Oil Fund, LP (the “Fund”) pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement
      dated as of the day the first Creation Basket is sold and the proceeds are
      invested (substantially in the form attached hereto) between the General Partner
      and the Limited Partners of the Fund (the “Partnership Agreement”). Brown
      Brothers Harriman Co. (the “Administrator” or “Custodian”) and ALPS Distributors
      (the “Marketing Agent”) each serve as agents of the General Partner for all
      purposes of this Agreement, and all references to agreements, obligations or
      duties of the Administrator, Custodian or Marketing Agent herein shall be deemed
      references to agreements, obligations of duties of the General Partner acting
      through the relevant agent. As provided in the Partnership Agreement and
      described in the Fund’s prospectus (the “Prospectus”), Units of fractional
      undivided beneficial interest in and ownership of the limited partnership (the
      “Units”) may be created or redeemed through the Marketing Agent by the
      Authorized Purchaser in aggregations of one hundred thousand (100,000) Units
      (each aggregation, a “Creation Basket” or “Redemption Basket,” respectively;
      collectively, “Baskets”). Creation Baskets are offered only pursuant to the
      registration statement of the Fund on Form S-1, as amended (Registration No.:
      333-144348), as declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission
      (the “SEC”) and as the same may be amended from time to time thereafter
      (collectively, the “Registration Statement”). Authorized Purchasers are the only
      persons that may place orders to create and redeem Creation Baskets or
      Redemption Baskets. 

    


    Capitalized
      terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned
      to
      such terms in the Prospectus. To the extent there is a conflict between any
      provision of this Agreement other than the indemnities provided in Section
      9 and
      the provisions of the Prospectus, the provisions of the Prospectus shall
      control. 

    


    To
      give
      effect to the foregoing premises and in consideration of the mutual covenants
      and agreements set forth below, the parties hereto agree as
      follows:

    


    Section
      1. Order Placement. 

    To
      place
      an order for the creation or redemption of one or more Baskets, an Authorized
      Purchaser must follow the procedures for creation and redemption referred to
      in
      Section 3 of this Agreement and attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A;
      provided, however, that in the case of an Authorized Purchaser’s initial order
      to purchase one or more Creation Baskets on the first day the Baskets are to
      be
      offered and sold, the procedures for creation will be as attached to this
      Agreement as Exhibit A-1.


    
      
        
        

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    


    Section
      2. Status and Obligations of Authorized Purchaser. 

    The
      Authorized Purchaser represents and warrants and covenants the following:


    


    (a) The
      Authorized Purchaser is a participant of the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)
      (as such a participant, a “DTC Participant”). If the Authorized Purchaser ceases
      to be a DTC Participant, the Authorized Purchaser shall give prompt notice
      to
      the General Partner of such event, and this Agreement shall terminate
      immediately as of the date the Authorized Purchaser ceased to be a DTC
      Participant.

    


    (b) Unless
      Section 2(c) applies, the Authorized Purchaser either (i) is registered as
      a
      broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), and is a member in good standing of the Financial
      Industry Regulation
      Association (“FINRA”),
      or
      (ii) is exempt from being, or otherwise is not required to be, licensed as
      a
      broker-dealer or a member of FINRA,
      and in
      either case is qualified to act as a broker or dealer in the states or other
      jurisdictions where the nature of its business so requires. The Authorized
      Purchaser will maintain any such registrations, qualifications and membership
      in
      good standing and in full force and effect throughout the term of this
      Agreement. The Authorized Purchaser will comply with all applicable federal
      law,
      the laws of the states or other jurisdictions concerned, and the rules and
      regulations promulgated thereunder, including, but not limited to those
      applicable to securities and commodities transactions, and with the
      Constitution, By-Laws and Conduct Rules of FINRA
      (if it
      is a FINRA
      member)
      to the extent the foregoing relate to the Authorized Purchaser’s transactions
      in, and activities with respect to the Baskets. The Authorized Purchaser will
      not directly or indirectly offer, sell or deliver Units in or from any state
      or
      jurisdiction where they may not lawfully be offered, sold and/or
      delivered.

    


    (c) If
      the
      Authorized Purchaser is offering or selling Units in jurisdictions outside
      the
      several states, territories and possessions of the United States and is not
      otherwise required to be registered, qualified or a member of FINRA
      as set
      forth in Section 2(b) above, the Authorized Purchaser will (i) observe the
      applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which such offer and/or sale is made,
      (ii) comply with the full disclosure requirements of the Securities Act of
      1933,
      as amended (the “1933 Act”) and the Commodities Exchange Act (the “CEA”), and
      the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and (iii) conduct its business
      in accordance with the spirit of the FINRA
      Conduct
      Rules, in each case to the extent the foregoing relate to the Authorized
      Purchaser’s transactions in, and activities with respect to the Baskets.


    


    (d) The
      Authorized Purchaser has written policies and procedures reasonably designed
      to
      comply with the money laundering and related provisions of the Uniting and
      Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept
      and
      Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and the regulations
      promulgated thereunder, if the Authorized Purchaser is subject to the
      requirements of the PATRIOT Act. 

    


    (e) The
      Authorized Purchaser has the capability to send and receive communications
      via
      an authenticated telecommunication facility to and from the General Partner
      and
      its agents, ALPS Distributors, Inc. and Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. The
      Authorized Purchaser shall confirm such capability to the satisfaction of the
      General Partner and the Marketing Agent by the end of the Business Day (as
      defined in Section 6) before placing its first order with the Marketing Agent
      (whether such order is to create or to redeem Baskets). If required by the
      Marketing Agent, the Administrator or the Custodian with respect to authorized
      telecommunications by telephonic facsimile, the Authorized Purchaser shall
      enter
      into a separate agreement with the Marketing Agent, the Administrator or the
      Custodian, as the case may be, indemnifying such party with respect to its
      communications by telephonic facsimile. 


    
      
        
        

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    


    (f) Because
      new Baskets can be created and Units therein issued on an ongoing basis, at
      any
      point during the life of the partnership, a “distribution,” as such term is used
      in the 1933 Act, may be occurring with respect to resales of these Units. The
      Authorized Purchaser is cautioned that some of its activities may result in
      its
      being deemed a participant in a distribution in a manner that would render
      it a
      statutory underwriter and subject it to the prospectus-delivery and liability
      provisions of the 1933 Act. The Authorized Purchaser should review the “What is
      the Plan of Distribution?” portion of the Prospectus and consult with its own
      counsel in connection with entering into this Agreement and placing an Order
      (as
      defined in Section 3). In addition to satisfying the prospectus-delivery and
      disclosure requirements of the 1933 Act, the Authorized Purchaser and any other
      participant in the distribution of the Units purchased by the Authorized
      Purchaser also has the obligation to comply with the disclosure delivery
      requirements under the CEA, including, with respect to the CEA, the requirement
      that the Authorized Purchaser provide an acknowledgement of receipt of the
      Prospectus (the “CEA Acknowledgement”) by it to the Fund, directly or through
      its agent, the Marketing Agent, prior to payment of the purchase price for
      any
      Creation Basket to the Fund and, to the extent required by the CEA or any
      regulations thereunder, the CEA Acknowledgments contemplated by Section 13
      hereof. To the extent the Authorized Purchaser has distributed a Preliminary
      Prospectus to prospective investors, if the Authorized Purchaser has been
      notified by the General Partner of material changes made to that document as
      compared to the final Prospectus, the Authorized Purchaser shall give notice
      to
      any prospective investor who received the Preliminary Prospectus of such
      material change prior to a sale.

    


    Section
      3. Orders. 

    (a) All
      orders to create or redeem Baskets shall be made in accordance with the terms
      of
      the Prospectus, this Agreement and the creation and redemption procedures
      attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Procedures”), except in the case of an
      Authorized Purchaser’s initial order to purchase one or more Creation Baskets on
      the first day the Baskets are to be offered and sold which will be governed
      by
      the procedures set forth in Exhibit A-1. Each party will comply with such
      foregoing terms to the extent applicable to it. The General Partner may issue
      additional or other procedures from time to time relating to the manner of
      creating or redeeming Baskets and the Authorized Purchaser will comply with
      such
      procedures. The Authorized Purchaser hereby consents to the use of recorded
      telephone lines; provided that the General Partner shall promptly provide copies
      of recordings of any such calls to the Authorized Purchaser upon reasonable
      request by the Authorized Purchaser unless such recordings have been erased
      or
      destroyed prior to receipt of such request in the normal course of business
      in
      accordance with the recording party’s general record keeping policies and
      procedures. The General Partner shall take such actions as necessary to satisfy
      Authorized Purchasers’ reasonable request for copies of recordings.

    


    (b) The
      Authorized Purchaser acknowledges and agrees it is acting solely as principal
      and not on behalf of any party for which it is acting (whether such party is
      a
      customer or otherwise), and that each order to create a Basket (a “Purchase
      Order”) and each order to redeem a Basket (a “Redemption Order,” and each
      Purchase Order and Redemption Order, an “Order”) may not be withdrawn by the
      Authorized Purchaser. A form of Purchase/Redemption Order is attached hereto
      as
      Exhibit B.

    (c) The
      General Partner acting by itself or through the Marketing Agent shall have
      the
      absolute right, but shall have no obligation, to reject any Purchase Order
      or
      Creation Basket Deposit (as defined in Section 6) (i) determined by the General
      Partner not to be in proper form; (ii) that, in the opinion of nationally
      recognized outside counsel, the General Partner would have adverse tax
      consequences to the Fund; (iii) the acceptance or receipt of which would, in
      the
      opinion of nationally recognized outside counsel to the General Partner, be
      unlawful; or (iv) if circumstances outside the control of the General Partner,
      the Marketing Agent or the Custodian make it for all practical purposes not
      feasible to process creations of Creation Baskets. None of the General Partner,
      the Marketing Agent or the Custodian shall be liable to any person by reason
      of
      the rejection of any Purchase Order or Creation Basket Deposit.

    


    (d) The
      General Partner acting by itself or through the Marketing Agent may, in its
      sole
      discretion, reject any Redemption Order (i) determined by the General Partner
      not to be in proper form (ii) the fulfillment of which its counsel advises
      may
      be illegal under applicable laws and regulations, or (iii) if circumstances
      outside the control of the General Partner, the Marketing Agent or the Custodian
      make it for all practical purposes not feasible for the Units to be delivered
      under the Redemption Order.

    


    Section
      4. Fees. 

    In
      connection with each Order by an Authorized Purchaser to create or redeem one
      or
      more Baskets, the General Partner shall charge, and the Authorized Purchaser
      shall pay to the General Partner, the Transaction Fee prescribed in the
      Prospectus applicable to such creation or redemption. The initial Transaction
      Fee shall be one thousand dollars ($1,000). The Transaction Fee may be adjusted
      from time to time as set forth in the Prospectus. 

    


    Section
      5. Authorized Persons. 

    Concurrently
      with the execution of this Agreement and as requested in writing from time
      to
      time thereafter, the Authorized Purchaser shall deliver to the General Partner
      and the Marketing Agent, notarized and duly certified as appropriate by its
      secretary or other duly authorized official, a certificate in the form of
      Exhibit C setting forth the names and signatures of all persons authorized
      to
      give instructions relating to activity contemplated hereby or by any other
      notice, request or instruction given on behalf of the Authorized Purchaser
      (each, an “Authorized Person”). The General Partner or the Marketing Agent may
      accept and rely upon such certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts set
      forth therein and shall consider such certificate to be in full force and effect
      until the General Partner receives a superseding certificate bearing a
      subsequent date. Upon the termination or revocation of authority of any
      Authorized Person by the Authorized Purchaser, the Authorized Purchaser shall
      give immediate written notice of such fact to the General Partner and the
      Marketing Agent, and such notice shall be effective upon receipt by the General
      Partner.

    Section
      6. Creation Procedures.

    On
      any
      Business Day, an Authorized Purchaser may place an order with the Marketing
      Agent to create one or more Creation Baskets in accordance with this Section
      6
      and the Procedures. For purposes of processing Purchase and Redemption Orders,
      a
“Business Day” means any day other than a day when any of the American Stock
      Exchange, the New York Mercantile Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange is
      closed for regular trading. Purchase orders must be placed by 12:00 PM New
      York
      time or the close of regular trading on the American Stock Exchange, whichever
      is earlier, except in the case of an Authorized Purchaser’s initial order to
      purchase one or more Creation Baskets on the first day the Baskets are to be
      offered and sold, when such orders shall be placed by 9:00 AM New
      York
      time on the day agreed to by the General Partner and the Authorized Purchaser.
      The day on which the Marketing Agent receives a valid Purchase Order is the
      Purchase Order Date.
      By
      placing a Purchase Order, an Authorized Purchaser agrees to (1)
      deposit
      Treasuries, cash, or a combination of Treasuries and cash with the Custodian
      of
      the Fund,
      and (2)
      enter into or arrange for a block trade, an exchange for physical or exchange
      for swap, or any other over-the-counter energy transaction (through itself
      or a
      designated acceptable broker) with the Fund for the purchase of a number and
      type of futures contracts at the closing settlement price for such contracts
      on
      the Purchase Order Date, as specified in the Purchase Order Form (see Exhibit
      B). Failure to consummate (1) and (2) above shall result in the cancellation
      of
      the order. The number and type of contracts specified shall be determined by
      the
      General Partner, in its sole discretion, to meet the Fund’s investment objective
      and shall be purchased as a result of the Authorized Purchaser’s purchase of
      Units.

    


    Prior
      to
      the delivery of Baskets for a Purchase Order, the Authorized Purchaser must
      also
      have wired to the Custodian the non-refundable transaction fee due for the
      Purchase Order. “ Treasuries” shall be any U.S. treasury security with two years
      or less remaining to maturity with an aggregate market value, as determined
      in
      the sole discretion of the Administrator using the valuation procedures set
      forth in Exhibit D, that together with any cash amount, will equal the purchase
      price of the Creation Basket being purchased.

    


    The
      total
      deposit required to create each basket (“Creation Basket Deposit”) will be an
      amount of Treasuries and cash that is in the same proportion to the total assets
      of the Fund (net of estimated accrued but unpaid fees, expenses and other
      liabilities) on the date the order to purchase is properly received as the
      number of Units to be created under the Purchase Order is in proportion to
      the
      total number of Units outstanding on the date the order is received.


    


    The
      General Partner determines, directly in its sole discretion, or in consultation
      with the Administrator, the requirements for Treasuries and/or the amount of
      cash, including the maximum permitted remaining maturity of a Treasury and
      the
      proportions of Treasuries and cash, that may be included in deposits to create
      Baskets. The Marketing Agent will publish such requirements at the beginning
      of
      each Business Day. Unless otherwise determined by the General Partner, if
      Treasuries and cash are to be deposited, the amount of the cash deposit required
      will be the difference between (i) the aggregate market value of the Treasuries
      required to be included in a Creation Basket Deposit as of 4:00 PM New York
      time
      on the Purchase Order Date
      and (ii)
      the total required deposit.


    
      
        
        

      

      
        6

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    


    An
      Authorized Purchaser who places a Purchase Order is responsible for transferring
      to the Fund’s account with the Custodian the required amount of Treasuries
      and/or cash by the end of the third Business Day following the Purchase Order
      Date,
      except
      in the case of an Authorized Purchaser’s initial order to purchase one or more
      Creation Baskets on the first day the Baskets are to be offered and sold when
      the Creation Basket Deposit will be due by 12:00 PM New York time on the date
      the Purchase Order was accepted by the Marketing Agent. Upon receipt of the
      deposit amount, the Administrator will cause DTC to credit the number of Baskets
      ordered to the Authorized Purchaser’s DTC account on the third Business Day
      following the Purchase Order Date,
      except
      in the case of an Authorized Purchaser’s initial order to purchase one or more
      Creation Baskets, when the Administrator will cause DTC to credit the number
      of
      Baskets so ordered upon confirmation by the Custodian that the Creation Basket
      Deposit has been received by the Custodian. The expense and risk of delivery
      and
      ownership of Treasuries until such Treasuries have been received by the
      Custodian on behalf of the Fund shall be borne solely by the Authorized
      Purchaser.

    


    Section
      7. Redemption Procedures. 

    On
      any
      Business Day, an Authorized Purchaser may place an order with the Marketing
      Agent to redeem one or more Redemption Baskets in accordance with this Section
      7
      and the Procedures. Redemption Orders must be placed by 12:00 PM New York time
      or the close of regular trading on the American Stock Exchange, whichever is
      earlier. A Redemption Order so received is effective on the date it is received
      in satisfactory form by the Marketing Agent. The day on which the Marketing
      Agent receives a valid Redemption Order is the “Redemption Order Date”. By
      placing a Redemption Order, an Authorized Purchaser agrees to (1)
      deliver
      the Redemption Basket to be redeemed through DTC’s book-entry system to the
      Fund’s account with the Custodian not later than 3:00 PM New York time on the
      third Business Day following the effective date of the Redemption
      Order
      (“Redemption Distribution Date”), and (2) enter into or arrange for a block
      trade, an exchange for physical or exchange for swap, or any other
      over-the-counter energy transaction (through itself or a designated acceptable
      broker) with the Fund for the sale of a number and type of futures contracts
      at
      the closing settlement price for such contracts on the Redemption Order Date,
      as
      specified in the Redemption Order Form (see Exhibit B). Failure to consummate
      (1) and (2) above shall result in the cancellation of the order. The number
      and
      type of contracts specified shall be determined by the General Partner, in
      its
      sole discretion, to meet the Fund’s investment objective and shall be sold as a
      result of the Authorized Purchaser’s sale of Units.
      Prior
      to the delivery of the redemption distribution for a Redemption Order, the
      Authorized Purchaser must also have wired to the Fund’s account at the Custodian
      the non-refundable Transaction Fee due for the Redemption Order.

    


    The
      redemption distribution from the Fund consists of a transfer to the redeeming
      Authorized Purchaser of an amount of Treasuries and/or cash with a value that
      is
      in the same proportion to the total assets of the Fund (net of estimated accrued
      but unpaid fees, expenses and other liabilities) on the date the order to redeem
      is properly received as the number of Units to be redeemed under the Redemption
      Order is in proportion to the total number of Units outstanding on the date
      the
      order is received. The General Partner, directly or in consultation with the
      Administrator, will determine the requirements for Treasuries and/or the amount
      of cash, including the maximum permitted remaining maturity of a Treasury,
      and
      the proportions of Treasuries and cash, that may be included in distributions
      to
      redeem Baskets. The Marketing Agent will publish such requirements as of 4:00
      PM
      New York time on the Redemption Order Date.


    
      
        
        

      

      
        7

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    


    The
      redemption distribution due from the Fund is delivered to the Authorized
      Purchaser on the Redemption Distribution Date if, by 3:00 PM New York time
      on
      such Redemption Distribution Date, the Fund’ s DTC account has been credited
      with the Baskets to be redeemed. If the Fund’s DTC account has not been credited
      with all of the Baskets to be redeemed by such time, the redemption distribution
      is delivered to the extent of whole Baskets received. Any remainder of the
      redemption distribution is delivered on the next Business Day to the extent
      of
      remaining whole Baskets received if the Fund receives the fee applicable to
      the
      extension of the Redemption Distribution Date which the General Partner may,
      from time to time, determine and the remaining Baskets to be redeemed are
      credited to the Fund’s DTC account by 9:00 AM New York time on such next
      Business Day. Any further outstanding amount of the Redemption Order may be
      cancelled at the election of the General Partner. Pursuant to instruction from
      the General Partner, the Custodian may also deliver the redemption distribution
      notwithstanding that the Baskets to be redeemed are not credited to the Fund’s
      DTC account by 3:00 PM New York time on the Redemption Distribution Date if
      the
      Authorized Purchaser has collateralized its obligation to deliver the Baskets
      through DTC’s book entry system on such terms as the General Partner may from
      time to time determine.

    


    The
      General Partner may, in its discretion, suspend the right of redemption, or
      postpone the Redemption Distribution Date, (1) for any period during which
      the
      American Stock Exchange or the New York Mercantile Exchange is closed other
      than
      customary weekend or holiday closings, or trading on the American Stock Exchange
      or the New York Mercantile Exchange is suspended or restricted or (2) for any
      period during which an emergency exists as a result of which delivery, disposal
      or evaluation of Treasuries or other assets of the Fund is not reasonably
      practicable. None of the General Partner, the Marketing Agent, the Administrator
      or the Custodian will be liable to any person or in any way for any loss or
      damages that may result from any such suspension or postponement.

    


    Section
      8. Role of Authorized Purchaser. 

    (a) The
      Authorized Purchaser acknowledges that, for all purposes of this Agreement,
      the
      Authorized Purchaser is and shall be deemed to be an independent contractor
      and
      has and shall have no authority to act as agent for the Fund, the Marketing
      Agent, the Administrator, the Custodian or the General Partner in any matter
      or
      in any respect. 

    


    (b) The
      Authorized Purchaser will, to the extent reasonably practicable, make itself
      and
      its employees available, upon request, during normal business hours to consult
      with the General Partner and the Marketing Agent concerning the performance
      of
      the Authorized Purchaser’s responsibilities under this Agreement; provided that
      the Authorized Purchaser shall be under no obligation to divulge or otherwise
      discuss any information that the Authorized Purchaser believes (i) is
      confidential or proprietary in nature or (ii) the disclosure of which to third
      parties would be prohibited. 

    


    (c) Notwithstanding
      the provisions of Section 8(b), the Authorized Purchaser will maintain records
      of all sales of Creation Baskets made by or through it and, upon reasonable
      request of the General Partner, except if prohibited by applicable law and
      subject to any privacy obligations or other obligations arising under federal
      or
      state securities laws it may have to its customers, will furnish the General
      Partner with the names and addresses of the purchasers of such Creation Baskets
      and the number of Creation Baskets purchased if and to the extent that the
      General Partner has been requested to provide such information to the
      Commodities Futures Trading Commission, Securities Exchange Commission, National
      Association of Securities Dealers, or Internal Revenue Service (“Fund
      Regulators”). For the avoidance of doubt, all such information provided by the
      Authorized Purchaser shall be Confidential Information (as defined in Section
      18) and shall not be used for any purpose other than to satisfy requests of
      Fund
      Regulators.

    (d) The
      Fund
      may from time to time be obligated to deliver prospectuses, proxy materials,
      annual or other reports of the Fund or other similar information (“Fund
      Documents”) to its limited partners. The Authorized Purchaser agrees (i) subject
      to any privacy obligations or other obligations arising under federal or state
      securities laws it may have to its customers, to reasonably assist the General
      Partner in ascertaining certain information regarding sales of Creation Baskets
      made by or through the Authorized Purchaser that is necessary for the Fund
      to
      comply with such obligations upon written request of the General Partner or
      (ii)
      in lieu thereof, and at the option of the Authorized Purchaser, the Authorized
      Purchaser may undertake to deliver Fund Documents to the Authorized Purchaser’s
      customers that custody Units with the Authorized Purchaser, after receipt from
      the Fund of sufficient quantities of such Fund Documents to allow mailing
      thereof to such customers. The expenses associated with such transmissions
      shall
      be borne by the General Partner in accordance with usual custom and practice
      in
      respect of such communications. The General Partner agrees that the names,
      addresses and other information concerning the Authorized Purchaser’s customers
      are and shall remain the sole property of the Authorized Purchaser, and none
      of
      the General Partner, the Fund or any of their respective affiliates shall use
      such names, addresses or other information for any purposes except in connection
      with the performance of their duties and responsibilities hereunder and except
      to the extent necessary for the Fund to meet its regulatory requirements as
      set
      forth in Section 8(b) and in this Section 8(c) of the Agreement.

    


    Section
      9. Indemnification. 

    (a) Indemnification
      of Authorized Purchaser. The General Partner agrees to indemnify, defend and
      hold harmless the Authorized Purchaser, its partners, stockholders, members,
      directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents and any person who controls
      such persons within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20
      of
      the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons
      (each a “GP Indemnified Person”), from and against any loss, damage, expense,
      liability or claim (including reasonable attorney fees and the reasonable cost
      of investigation) which the Authorized Purchaser or any such person may incur
      under the 1933 Act, the Exchange Act, the CEA, the common law or otherwise,
      insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or
      is
      based upon:

     

    (1) any
      untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
      the
      Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended or
      supplemented) or in a Prospectus (the term Prospectus for the purpose of this
      Section 9 being deemed to include the Prospectus and the Prospectus as amended
      or supplemented) or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
      required to be stated in either such Registration Statement or such Prospectus
      or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading, except insofar
      as any such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based
      upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
      contained in and in conformity with information concerning the Authorized
      Purchaser furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Authorized Purchaser
      to
      the General Partner expressly for use in such Registration
      Statement;


    
      
        
        

      

      
        9

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    


    (2) any
      untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or breach by
      the
      General Partner of any representation or warranty contained in this
      Agreement;

    


    (3) the
      failure by the General Partner, the Fund or their respective agents to perform
      when and as required, any agreement, obligation, duty or covenant contained
      herein;

    


    (4) the
      failure by the General Partner, the Fund or their respective agents to comply
      with applicable laws and the rules and regulations of any governmental entity
      or
      any self-regulatory organization to the extent the foregoing relates to
      transactions in, and activities with respect to Baskets; or

    


    (5) the
      Authorized Purchaser’s performance of its duties under this Agreement except in
      the case of this clause (5), for any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim
      resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Authorized
      Purchaser.

    


    In
      no
      case is the indemnity of the General Partner in favor of the Authorized
      Purchaser and such other persons as are specified in this Section 9(a) to be
      deemed to protect the Authorized Purchaser and such persons against any
      liability to the General Partner or the Fund to which the Authorized Purchaser
      would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
      negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless
      disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

    


    If
      any
      action, suit or proceeding (each, a “Proceeding”) is brought against a GP
      Indemnified Person or any such person in respect of which indemnity may be
      sought against the General Partner pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, such
      GP
      Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the General Partner in writing of
      the
      institution of such Proceeding, provided, however, that the omission to so
      notify the General Partner shall not relieve the General Partner or the Fund
      from any liability which it may have to the GP Indemnified Person except to
      the
      extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and has not
      otherwise learned of such Proceeding. The GP Indemnified Person shall have
      the
      right to employ its own counsel in any such case and the fees and expenses
      of
      such counsel shall be borne by the General Partner and the Fund and paid as
      incurred (it being understood, however, that the General Partner shall not
      be
      liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any
      local counsel) in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings in the
      same jurisdiction representing the GP Indemnified Persons who are parties to
      such Proceeding) or for the expenses and fees incurred with respect to matters
      that are not indemnifiable in accordance with the preceding paragraph. A GP
      Indemnified Person shall give the General Partner reasonable prior notice of
      settlement of any Proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought against
      the General Partner pursuant to this Section 9(a), provided, however that the
      omission to so notify the General Partner shall not relieve the General Partner
      or the Fund from any liability which it may have to the GP Indemnified Person.

    (b) The
      Authorized Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of
      the
      Fund, the General Partner and its partners, stockholders, members, directors,
      officers, employees and any person who controls the General Partner within
      the
      meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and
      the
      successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons (each, an “AP Indemnified
      Person”), from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim
      (including reasonable attorney fees and the reasonable cost of investigation)
      which the AP Indemnified Person may incur as a result of or in connection with
      any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
      in
      and in conformity with information furnished in writing by or on behalf of
      the
      Authorized Purchaser to the General Partner expressly for use in the
      Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended or
      supplemented by any post-effective amendment thereof) or in a Prospectus, or
      arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a
      material fact in connection with such information required to be stated in
      such
      Registration Statement or such Prospectus or necessary to make such information
      not misleading.

    


    The
      Authorized Purchaser will also indemnify each AP Indemnified Person from and
      against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable
      cost of investigation) which such AP Indemnified Person may incur as a result
      of
      or in connection with any actions of an AP Indemnified Person in accordance
      with
      any instructions by the Authorized Purchaser except in the case of any loss,
      damage, expense, liability or claim resulting from the gross negligence or
      willful misconduct of an AP Indemnified Person. In no case is the indemnity
      of
      the Authorized Purchaser in favor of each AP Indemnified Person to be deemed
      to
      protect the AP Indemnified Person and such persons against any liability to
      the
      Authorized Purchaser to which the AP Indemnified Person would otherwise be
      subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in
      the
      performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its
      obligations and duties under this Agreement.

    


    If
      any
      Proceeding is brought against an AP Indemnified Person, such AP Indemnified
      Person shall promptly notify the Authorized Purchaser in writing of the
      institution of such Proceeding; provided, however, that the omission to so
      notify the Authorized Purchaser shall not relieve the Authorized Purchaser
      from
      any liability which it may have to such AP Indemnified Person except to the
      extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and has not
      otherwise learned of such Proceeding. The AP Indemnified Person or such person
      shall have the right to employ its own counsel and the fees and expenses of
      such
      counsel shall be borne by the Authorized Purchaser and paid as incurred (it
      being understood, however, that the Authorized Purchaser shall not be liable
      for
      the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local
      counsel) in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings in the same
      jurisdiction representing the AP Indemnified Persons who are parties to such
      Proceeding) or for the expenses and fees incurred with respect to matters that
      are not indemnifiable in accordance with the preceding paragraph. An AP
      Indemnified Person shall give the Authorized Purchaser reasonable prior notice
      of settlement of any Proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought
      against the Authorized participant pursuant to this Section 9(b), provided,
      however that the omission to so notify the General Partner shall not relieve
      the
      General Partner or the Fund from any liability which it may have to the GP
      Indemnified Person.

    (c) The
      indemnity agreements contained in this Section 9 and the covenants, warranties
      and representations of the General Partner contained in this Agreement shall
      remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or
      on
      behalf of the Authorized Purchaser, its partners, stockholders, members,
      directors, officers, employees and or any person (including each partner,
      stockholder, member, director, officer or employee of such person) who controls
      the Authorized Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or
      Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or by or on behalf of each of the General
      Partner, the Fund, their partners, stockholders, members, directors, officers,
      employees or any person who controls the General Partner or the Fund within
      the
      meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and
      shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the initial issuance and
      delivery of the Units. The General Partner and the Authorized Purchaser agree
      promptly to notify each other of the commencement of any Proceeding against
      it
      and, in the case of the General Partner, against any of the General Partner’s
      officers or directors in connection with the issuance and sale of the Units,
      or
      in connection with the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

    


    Section
      10.

    (a) Limitation
      of Liability. 

    None
      of
      the General Partner, the Authorized Purchaser, the Marketing Agent, the
      Administrator, or the Custodian, shall be liable to each other or to any other
      person, including any party claiming by, through or on behalf of the Authorized
      Purchaser, for any losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses arising
      out
      of any mistake or error in data or other information provided to any of them
      by
      each other or any other person or out of any interruption or delay in the
      electronic means of communications used by them.

    


    (b) Tax
      Liability. 

    The
      Authorized Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of any transfer tax,
      sales or use tax, stamp tax, recording tax, value added tax and any other
      similar tax or government charge applicable to the creation or redemption of
      any
      Basket made pursuant to this Agreement, regardless of whether or not such tax
      or
      charge is imposed directly on the Authorized Purchaser. To the extent the
      General Partner or the Fund is required by law to pay any such tax or charge,
      the Authorized Purchaser agrees to promptly indemnify such party for any such
      payment, together with any applicable penalties, additions to tax or interest
      thereon.

    


    Section
      11. Acknowledgment. 

    The
      Authorized Purchaser acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Prospectus and
      represents that it has reviewed and understands such document. 

    


    Section
      12. Effectiveness and Termination.

    Upon
      the
      execution of this Agreement by the parties hereto, this Agreement shall become
      effective in this form as of the date first set forth above, and may be
      terminated at any time by any party upon thirty (30) days prior written notice
      to the other parties unless earlier terminated: (i) in accordance with Section
      2(a); (ii) upon notice to the Authorized Purchaser by the General Partner in
      the
      event of a breach by the Authorized Purchaser of this Agreement or the
      procedures described or incorporated herein; or (iii) at such time as the Fund
      is terminated.

    Section
      13. Marketing Materials; Representations Regarding Baskets; Identification
      in
      Registration Statement. 

    (a) The
      Authorized Purchaser represents, warrants and covenants that, (i) without the
      written consent of the General Partner, the Authorized Purchaser will not make,
      or permit any of its representatives to make, in connection with any sale or
      solicitation of a sale of Baskets any representations concerning the Units
      or
      the General Partner, the Fund or any AP Indemnified Person other than
      representations consistent with (A) the then-current Prospectus of the Fund,
      (B)
      printed information approved by the General Partner as information supplemental
      to such Prospectus or (C) any promotional materials or sales literature
      furnished to the Authorized Purchaser by the General Partner, and (ii) the
      Authorized Purchaser will not furnish or cause to be furnished to any person
      or
      display or publish any information or material relating to the Baskets, any
      AP
      Indemnified Person or the Fund that is not consistent with the Fund’s then
      current Prospectus. Copies of the then-current Prospectus of the Fund and any
      such printed supplemental information will be supplied by the General Partner
      to
      the Authorized Purchaser in reasonable quantities upon request. 

    


    (b) The
      Authorized Purchaser agrees to comply with the prospectus and disclosure
      delivery requirements of the federal securities and commodities laws. In
      connection therewith, the Authorized Purchaser will provide each prospective
      purchaser with a copy of the Fund’s Prospectus and, to the extent required under
      the CEA or regulations promulgated thereunder, obtain (or require any
      participant in the distribution of Units in a Creation Basket the Authorized
      Purchaser has purchased to obtain) the CEA Acknowledgment from any such
      purchaser prior to receipt of payment from the purchaser. The Authorized
      Purchaser shall (or shall require any participant in distribution of such Units
      in a Creation Basket the Authorized Purchaser has purchased) maintain each
      such
      CEA Acknowledgement until the termination of this Agreement, and provide a
      copy
      to the General Partner upon reasonable request.

    


    (c) The
      Authorized Purchaser hereby agrees that for the term of this Agreement the
      General Partner or its agent, the Marketing Agent, may deliver the then-current
      Prospectus, and any supplements or amendments thereto or recirculation thereof,
      to the Authorized Purchaser in Portable Document Format (“PDF”) via electronic
      mail to __________________ in lieu of delivering the Prospectus in paper form.
      The Authorized Purchaser may revoke the foregoing agreement at any time by
      delivering written notice to the General Partner and, whether or not such
      agreement is in effect, the Authorized Purchaser may, at any time, request
      reasonable quantities of the Prospectus, and any supplements or amendments
      thereto or recirculation thereof, in paper form from the General Partner or
      its
      agent, the Marketing Agent. The Authorized Purchaser acknowledges that it has
      the capability to access, view, save and print material provided to it in PDF
      and that it will incur no appreciable extra costs by receiving the Prospectus
      in
      PDF instead of in paper form. The General Partner will, when requested by the
      Authorized Purchaser, make available at no cost the software and technical
      assistance necessary to allow the Authorized Purchaser to access, view and
      print
      the PDF version of the Prospectus.

    (d) For
      as
      long as this Agreement is effective, the Authorized Purchaser agrees to be
      identified as an authorized purchaser of the Fund at the General Partner’s
      discretion (i) in the section of the Prospectus included within the Registration
      Statement entitled “Creation and Redemption of Units,” and in any other section
      as may be required by the SEC and (ii) on the Fund’s website. Upon the
      termination of this Agreement, (i) during the period prior to when the General
      Partner qualifies and elects to file on Form S-3, the General Partner will
      remove such identification from the Prospectus in the amendment of the
      Registration Statement next occurring after the date of the termination of
      this
      Agreement and, during the period after when the General Partner qualifies and
      elects to file on Form S-3, the General Partner will promptly file a current
      report on Form 8-K indicating the withdrawal of the Authorized Purchaser as
      an
      authorized purchaser of the Fund and (ii) the General Partner will promptly
      update the Fund’s website to remove any identification of the Authorized
      Purchaser as an authorized purchaser of the Fund. 

    


    Section
      14. Certain Covenants of the General Partner.

    (a) to
      notify
      the Authorized Purchaser promptly of the happening of any event during the
      term
      of this Agreement which could require the making of any change in the Prospectus
      then being used so that the Prospectus would not include an untrue statement
      of
      material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
      therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not
      misleading, and, during such time, to prepare and deliver or otherwise make
      available, at the expense of the Fund, to the Authorized Purchaser copies of
      such amendments or supplements to such Prospectus as may be necessary to reflect
      any such change at such time and in such numbers as necessary to enable the
      Authorized Purchaser to comply with any obligation it may have to deliver such
      revised, supplemented or amended Prospectus to customers. 

    


    (b) to
      cause
Spicer

      in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. In addition, any certificate signed
      by
      any officer of the General Partner and delivered to the Authorized Purchaser
      or
      counsel for the Authorized Purchaser pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be
      a
      representation and warranty by the General Partner as to matters covered thereby
      to the Authorized Purchaser; 

    


    (d) to
      furnish directly or through the Marketing Agent to the Authorized Purchaser,

    (e) to
      cause
      the Fund to file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement no
      less frequently than once per calendar quarter on or about the same time that
      the Fund files a quarterly or annual report pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d)
      of
      the Exchange Act (including the information contained in such report), until
      such time as the Fund’s reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
      Exchange Act are incorporated by reference in the Registration
      Statement.

    


    Section
      15. Third Party Beneficiaries. 

    Each
      AP

      Authorized Purchaser (including by bringing proceedings against the Authorized
      Purchaser in its own name) to enforce any obligation of the Authorized Purchaser
      under this Agreement which directly or indirectly benefits such AP Indemnified
      Person. Each GP Indemnified Person, to the extent it is not a party to this
      Agreement, is a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement and may proceed
      directly against the General Partner, the Fund or their respective agents
      (including by bringing proceedings against the General Partner, the Fund or
      their respective agents in its own name) to enforce any obligation of the
      General Partner, the Fund or their agents under this Agreement which directly
      or
      indirectly benefits such GP Indemnified Person.

    


    Section
      16. Force Majeure. 

    No
      party
      to this Agreement shall incur any liability for any delay in performance, or
      for
      the non-performance, of any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason
      of
      any cause beyond its reasonable control. This includes any act of God or war
      or
      terrorism, any breakdown, malfunction or failure of transmission in connection
      with or other unavailability of any wire, communication or computer facilities,
      any transport, port, or airport disruption, industrial action, acts and
      regulations and rules of any governmental or supra national bodies or
      authorities or regulatory or self-regulatory organization or failure of any
      such
      body, authority or organization for any reason, to perform its obligations.
      

    


    Section
      17. Miscellaneous.
      

    (a) Entire
      Agreement. This Agreement (including any schedules and exhibits attached hereto
      and thereto) contains all of the agreements among the parties hereto (and
      thereto) with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (and thereby)
      and
      supersedes all prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral,
      among the parties with respect thereto.

    


    (b) Amendment
      and Modification. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only
      by a written instrument executed by all the parties.

     

    (c) Successors
      and Assigns; Assignment. All the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall
      be
      binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective
      successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall not be assigned by any
      party without the prior written consent of the other parties and any assignment
      without such consent shall be null and void.

    (d) Waiver
      of
      Compliance. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any failure of
      any
      of the parties to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition
      herein may be waived by the party entitled to the benefits thereof only by
      a
      written instrument signed by the party granting such waiver, but any such
      waiver, or the failure to insist upon strict compliance with any obligation,
      covenant, agreement or condition herein, shall not operate as a waiver of,
      or
      estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure or
      breach.

    


    (e) Severability.
      The parties hereto desire that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced
      to
      the fullest extent permissible under the law and public policies applied in
      each
      jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, in the event that
      any
      provision of this Agreement would be held in any jurisdiction to be invalid,
      prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such
      jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining
      provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of
      such
      provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such
      provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited
      or
      unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so
      narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement
      or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
      jurisdiction.

    


    (f) Notices.
      All notices, waivers, or other communications pursuant to this Agreement shall
      be in writing and shall be deemed to be sufficient if delivered personally,

      State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application
      of
      the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. In furtherance
      of
      the foregoing, the internal law of the State of New York will control the
      interpretation and construction of this Agreement, even if under such
      jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of
      some other jurisdiction would ordinarily or necessarily apply.

    


    (2) Each
      party irrevocably consents and agrees, for the benefit of the other parties,
      that any legal action, suit or proceeding against it with respect to its
      obligations, liabilities or any other matter arising out of or in connection
      with this Agreement or any related agreement may be brought in the courts of
      the
      State of New York and hereby irrevocably consents and submits to the
      non-exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in personam, generally and
      unconditionally with respect to any action, suit or proceeding for itself and
      in
      respect of its properties, assets and revenues. Each party irrevocably waives
      any immunity to jurisdiction to which it may otherwise be entitled or become
      entitled (including sovereign immunity, immunity to pre-judgment attachment
      and
      execution) in any legal suit, action or proceeding against it arising out of
      or
      based on this Agreement or any related agreement or the transactions
      contemplated hereby or thereby which is instituted in any court of the State
      of
      New York.

      venturers; it being intended that the relationship between them will at all
      times be that of independent contractors.

    Section
      18. Confidentiality.

    


    (a)
      The
      General Partner and the Authorized Purchaser shall maintain in confidence,
      use
      only for the purposes provided for in this Agreement, and not disclose to any
      third party, without first obtaining the other party’s consent in writing, any
      and all Confidential Information (as defined below) such party receives from
      the
      other party; provided, however, that either party may disclose Confidential
      Information received from the other party to those of its Representatives as
      may
      be necessary for such party to carry out its obligations under this Agreement.
      

    


    “Confidential
      Information” shall mean all information or data of a party or its customers that
      is disclosed to or received by the other party, whether orally, visually or
      in
      writing, in any form, including, without limitation, information or data which
      relates to such party’s business or operations, research and development,
      marketing plans or activities, or actual or potential products.

    


    (b)
      Notwithstanding
      the provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, a party shall have no
      liability to the other party for the disclosure or use of any Confidential
      Information of the other party if the Confidential Information:

    


    (1) is
      known
      to such party at the time of disclosure other than as the result of a breach
      of
      this Section 18 by such party;

    


    (2) has
      been
      or becomes publicly known, other than as the result of a breach of this Section
      18 by such party, or has been or is publicly disclosed by the other
      party;

    


    (3) is
      received by such party after the date of this Agreement from a third party
      (unless such third party breaches an obligation of confidentiality to the other
      party); or

    


    (4) is
      required to be disclosed by law or similar compulsion or in connection with
      any
      legal proceeding or request for information on behalf of a governmental
      authority or self-regulatory organization, provided that such party shall
      promptly inform the other party in writing of such requirement and that such
      disclosure shall be limited to the extent so required.

    


    (c)
      The
      parties recognize and acknowledge that a breach or threatened breach by a party
      of the provisions of this Section 18 may cause irreparable and material loss
      and
      damage to the other party which cannot be adequately remedied at law and that,
      accordingly, in addition to, and not in lieu of, any damages or other remedy
      to
      which the non-breaching party may be entitled, the issuance of an injunction
      or
      other equitable remedy (without the requirement that a bond or other security
      be
      posted) is an appropriate remedy for the non-breaching party for any breach
      or
      threatened breach of the obligations set forth in this Section
      18.

    (d)
      Each
      party agrees that it will use the same degree of care, but no less than a
      reasonable degree of care, in safeguarding the Confidential Information of
      the
      other party as it uses for its own Confidential Information of a similar nature.
      Each party shall promptly notify the other party in writing of any misuse,
      misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure of the Confidential Information
      of
      the other party that may come to such party’s attention.

    


    (e)
      Upon
      the
      termination of this Agreement, if requested in writing by the other party,
      each
      party shall, at such party’s option, promptly destroy or return to the other
      party all Confidential Information received from the other party, all copies
      and
      extracts of such Confidential Information and all documents or other media
      containing any such Confidential Information.

     

    IN
      WITNESS WHEREOF, the Authorized Purchaser and the General Partner have caused
      this Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized representatives as of
      the
      date first set forth above.

    EXHIBIT
      A

    


    UNITED
      STATES 12 MONTH OIL FUND, LP

    CREATION
      AND REDEMPTION PROCEDURES

    


    Scope
      of
      Procedures and Overview

    


    These
      procedures (the “Procedures ”) describe the processes by which one or more
      Baskets of United States 12 Month Oil Fund, LP Units (the “Units” ) may be
      purchased by an Authorized Purchaser, or, once Units have been issued, redeemed
      by an Authorized Purchaser. Units may be created or redeemed only in blocks
      of
      100,000 Units (each such block, a “Basket”).

    


    For
      purposes of these Procedures, a “Business Day” is defined as any day other than
      a day on which the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”), the New York Mercantile
      Exchange (“NYMEX”) or the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is closed for regular
      trading. 

    


    Baskets
      are issued pursuant to the Prospectus, which will be delivered by the Marketing
      Agent to each Authorized Purchaser prior to its execution of the Authorized
      Purchaser Agreement, and are issued and redeemed in accordance with the
      Authorized Purchaser Agreement. Baskets may be issued and redeemed on any
      Business Day by the Marketing Agent in exchange for cash and/or Treasuries,
      which the Custodian receives from Authorized Purchasers or transfers to
      Authorized Purchasers, in each case on behalf of the Fund. 

    


    Upon
      acceptance of the Authorized Purchaser Agreement, the Marketing Agent will
      assign a personal identification number (a “PIN number”) to each Authorized
      Person authorized to act for the Authorized Purchaser. This will allow the
      Authorized Purchaser through its Authorized Person(s) to place Purchase Order(s)
      or Redemption Order(s) for Baskets. 

    


    Important
      Notes:

    


    Any
      Order
      is subject to rejection by the General Partner or the Marketing Agent, as agent
      of the General Partner, for the reasons set forth in the Authorized Purchaser
      Agreement.

    


    All
      Orders are subject to the provisions of the
      Partnership Agreement, the Prospectus and the Authorized Purchaser Agreement
      relating to unclear or ambiguous instructions.

    


    The
      Authorized Purchaser, and each distributor offering and selling Units as part
      of
      the distribution of such Units, shall comply
      with
      the prospectus delivery and disclosure requirements of the 1933 Act as well
      as
      the analogous requirements under the CEA, including, the requirement that
      prospective investors provide an acknowledgement of receipt of such disclosure
      materials prior to the payment for any Units to the extent the foregoing relates
      to the Authorized Purchaser’s transactions in, and activities with respect to,
      Units. 

    


    CREATION
      PROCESS

    


    An
      Order
      to purchase one or more Baskets placed by an Authorized Purchaser with the
      Marketing Agent by 12:00 PM New York time or the close of regular trading on
      the
      AMEX, whichever is earlier (the “Order Cut-Off Time”) on a Business Day (such
      day, “CREATION T”) results in the transfer to the Authorized Purchaser’s account
      at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) of Baskets the Authorized Purchaser has
      purchased, in most instances, by 9:00 AM New York time on CREATION T+3:



    
      
        
        

      

      
        20

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    


    CREATION
      PROCEDURES

    1. By
      the
      Order Cut-Off Time (the earlier of the close of regular trading on the AMEX
      or
      12:00 PM New York time), an Authorized Person of the Authorized Purchaser calls
      the Marketing Agent at (303) 623-2577 to notify such agent that the Authorized
      Purchaser wishes to place a Purchase Order to create an identified number of
      Baskets and to request that it be provided with an order number (an “Order
      Number”). The Authorized Person provides a PIN number as identification. The
      Marketing Agent provides the Authorized Purchaser with an Order Number for
      the
      Authorized Purchaser’s Purchase Order Form. The Authorized Purchaser then
      completes and faxes to the Marketing Agent the Purchase Order Form included
      as
      Exhibit B to the Authorized Purchaser Agreement. The Purchase Order Form must
      include the Authorized Person’s signature, the number of Baskets being
      purchased, and the Order Number. 

    


    2. If
      the
      Marketing Agent has not received the Purchase Order Form from the Authorized
      Purchaser within 15 minutes after the Marketing Agent receives the phone call
      from the Authorized Purchaser referenced in item (1) above, the Marketing Agent
      places a phone call to the Authorized Purchaser to enquire about the status
      of
      the Order. If the Authorized Purchaser does not fax the Purchase Order Form
      to
      the Marketing Agent within 15 minutes after the Marketing Agent’s phone call,
      the Authorized Purchaser’s Order is cancelled. The Marketing Agent will then
      notify the Authorized Purchaser that the Order has been cancelled via telephone
      call.

    


    3. By
      placing a Purchase Order, an Authorized Purchaser agrees to (1) deposit
      Treasuries, cash, or a combination of Treasuries and cash with the Custodian
      of
      the Fund, and (2)
      enter
      into or arrange for a block trade, an exchange for physical or exchange for
      swap, or any other over-the-counter energy transaction (through itself or a
      designated acceptable broker) with the Fund for the purchase of a number and
      type of futures contracts at the closing settlement price for such contracts
      on
      the Purchase Order Date, as specified in the Purchase Order Form (see Exhibit
      B). Failure to consummate (1) and (2) above shall result in the cancellation
      of
      the order. The number and type of contracts specified shall be determined by
      the
      General Partner, in its sole discretion, to meet the Fund ’s investment
      objective and shall be purchased as a result of the Authorized Purchaser’s
      purchase of Units. If
      the
      Marketing Agent has received the Authorized Purchaser’s Purchase Order Form on
      time in accordance with the preceding timing rules, then by 1:00 PM New York
      time the Marketing Agent returns to the Authorized Purchaser a copy of the
      Purchase Order Form submitted, marking it “Affirmed.” The
      Marketing Agent shall also have completed Part II of the Purchase Order Form,
      which includes the specific number and type of futures contracts to be purchased
      at the closing settlement price on the Purchase Order Date.  

    


    4. Based
      on
      the Purchase Orders placed with it on CREATION T, the Marketing Agent sends
      a
      facsimile to the Transfer Agent indicating the total number of creation Units
      and total amount of cash and/or Treasuries for which the Marketing Agent will
      require an allocation into the custodial accounts
      of,
      respectively, the Authorized Purchaser and the Fund on CREATION T+3. If the
      Marketing Agent rejects a Purchase Order pursuant to the Authorized Purchaser
      Agreement after the foregoing messages are given to the Custodian, the Marketing
      Agent will notify the Transfer Agent of such rejection as
      soon
      as practicable
      but, in
      any event, by 1:30 PM New York time the same day, identifying the Authorized
      Purchaser whose Purchase Order was rejected and the amount of Units contained
      in
      the rejected Purchase Order. The Transfer Agent will address any such rejection
      notifications received after 1:30 PM New York time only on a best efforts basis.

    REDEMPTION
      PROCESS

    


    An
      order
      to redeem one or more Baskets placed by an Authorized Purchaser with the
      Marketing Agent by 12:00 PM New York time or the close of regular trading on
      the
      AMEX, whichever is earlier, on a Business Day (such day, “REDEMPTION T”) results
      in the following taking place by 3:00 p.m. New York time on REDEMPTION
      T+3:

    


    Transfer
      to the account at DTC and the subsequent cancellation of the relevant number
      of
      the Authorized Purchaser’s Baskets; and

    


    Transfer
      to the Authorized Purchaser by credit to the Authorized Purchaser’s account of
      cash and Treasuries,
      if any, in the relevant amount(s) corresponding to the Baskets delivered for
      redemption (the “Redemption Distribution”).

    


    REDEMPTION
      PROCEDURES

    


    REDEMPTION
      T (REDEMPTION ORDER TRADE DATE)

    


    1. By
      the
      Order Cut-off Time, an Authorized Person of the Authorized Purchaser calls
      the
      Marketing Agent at (303) 623ÿ
      to
      notify the Marketing Agent that the Authorized Purchaser wishes
      to
      place a Redemption Order with the Marketing Agent to redeem an identified number
      of Baskets and to request that the Marketing Agent provide an Order Number.
      The
      Authorized Person provides a PIN number as identification to the Marketing
      Agent. The Marketing Agent provides the Authorized Purchaser with an Order
      Number for the Authorized Purchaser’s Redemption Order Form. The Authorized
      Purchaser then completes and faxes to the Marketing Agent the Redemption Order
      Form included as Exhibit B to the Authorized Purchaser Agreement. The Redemption
      Order Form must include the Authorized Person’s signature, the number of Baskets
      being redeemed, and the Order Number previously provided by the Marketing
      Agent.

    


    2. If
      the
      Marketing Agent has not received the Redemption Order Form from the Authorized
      Purchaser within 15 minutes after the Marketing Agent receives the phone call
      from the Authorized Purchaser referenced in item (1) above, the Marketing Agent
      places a phone call to the Authorized Purchaser to enquire about the status
      of
      the Order. If the Authorized Purchaser does not fax the Redemption Order Form
      to
      the Marketing Agent within 15 minutes after the Marketing Agent’s phone call,
      the Authorized Purchaser’ s Order is cancelled. The Marketing Agent will then
      notify the Authorized Purchaser that the Order has been cancelled via telephone
      call and via fax. 


    
      
        
        

      

      
        22

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    3. By
      placing a Redemption Order, an Authorized Purchaser agrees to (1) deliver the
      Redemption Basket to be redeemed through DTC’s book-entry system to the Fund’ s
      account with the Custodian not later than 3:00 PM New York time on the third
      Business Day following the effective date of the Redemption Order, and (2)
      enter
      into or arrange for a block trade, an exchange for physical or exchange for
      swap, or any other over-the-counter energy transaction (through itself or a
      designated acceptable broker) with the Fund for the sale of a number and type
      of
      futures contracts at the closing settlement price for such contracts on the
      Purchase Order Date, as specified in the Redemption Order Form (see Exhibit
      B).
      Failure to consummate (1) and (2) above shall result in the cancellation of
      the
      order. The number and type of contracts specified shall be determined by the
      General Partner, in its sole discretion, to meet the Fund ’s investment
      objective and shall be sold as a result of the Authorized Purchaser’s sale of
      Units. If
      the
      Marketing Agent has received the Authorized Purchaser’s Redemption Order Form on
      time in accordance with the preceding timing rules, then by 1:00 PM New York
      time the Marketing Agent returns to the Authorized Purchaser a copy of the
      Redemption Order Form submitted, marking it “Affirmed.” The Marketing Agent
shall
      indicate
      on the
      Redemption Order Form the amount of Treasuries and/or cash, if any, to be
      delivered in the Redemption Distribution, and provides details of the method
      of
      payment to be used for the Transaction Fee and the method of delivery of the
      Treasuries and/or cash portion, if any, of the Redemption Distribution.
The
      Marketing Agent shall also indicate on the returned Redemption Order Form the
      specific number and type of futures contracts to be sold at the closing
      settlement price for such contracts on the Redemption Order Date.  

    


    4. By
      1:00
      PM New York time, the Marketing Agent sends a facsimile containing instructions
      to the Transfer Agent to transfer on REDEMPTION T+3 from the custodial accounts
      of, respectively, the Authorized Purchaser and the Fund (“deallocate”) the total
      number of creation Units and the total amount of cash and/or Treasuries required
      to settle the Redemption Orders received by the Marketing Agent on REDEMPTION
      T.
      If the Marketing Agent rejects a Redemption Order pursuant to the Authorized
      Purchaser Agreement after the foregoing message is sent, the Marketing Agent
      will notify the Transfer Agent of such rejection as
      soon as
      practicable
      but, in
      any event, by 1:30 pm New York time the same day, identifying the Authorized
      Purchaser whose Redemption Order was rejected and the amount of Units contained
      in the rejected Redemption Order. The Transfer Agent will address any such

    UNITED
      STATES 12 MONTH OIL FUND, LP

    INITIAL
      CREATION PROCEDURES

    


    Scope
      of
      Procedures and Overview

    


    These
      procedures (the “Initial Procedures”) describe the process by which one or more
      Baskets of United States 12 Month Oil Fund, LP Units (the “Units”) may be
      purchased by an Authorized Purchaser. Units may be created only in blocks of
      100,000 Units (each such block, a “Basket”).

    


    For
      purposes of these Initial Procedures, a “Business Day” is defined as any day
      other than a day on which the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”), the New York
      Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) or the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is closed
      for regular trading. 

    


    Baskets
      are issu ed pursuant to the Prospectus, which will be delivered by the Marketing
      Agent to the Authorized Purchaser prior to its execution of the Authorized
      Purchaser Agreement, and are issued in accordance with the Authorized Purchaser
      Agreement. Baskets may be issued on any Business Day by the Marketing Agent
      in
      exchange for cash and/or Treasuries, which the Custodian receives from the
      Authorized Purchaser on behalf of the Fund. 

    


    Upon
      acceptance of the Authorized Purchaser Agreement, the Marketing Agent will
      assign a personal identification number (a “PIN number”) to the Authorized
      Person authorized to act for the Authorized Purchaser. This will allow the
      Authorized Purchaser through its Authorized Person(s) to place the initial
      Purchase Order for Baskets. 

     

    It
      is
      anticipated that on the effective date (the date the SEC declares the
      registration statement relating to the Fund effective), the initial Authorized
      Purchaser will, though it is under no obligation to do so, purchase one or
      more
      Creations Baskets at a price per Unit of $50.00 It is expected the proceeds
      of
      that purchase will be invested on that day and that Fund’s initial per unit net
      asset value will be established as of 4:00 p.m. New York City time that day.
      The
      Units are expected to begin trading on the day following the effective date.
      Units offered in Creation Baskets on any day after the effective date will
      be
      offered at the per Unit asset value as of the earlier of 4:00 p.m. New York
      time
      or the close of trading on the NYSE.

    


    Important
      Notes:

    


    Any
      Order
      is subject to rejection by the General Partner or the Marketing Agent, as agent
      of the General Partner, for the reasons set forth in the Authorized Purchaser
      Agreement.

    All
      Orders are subject to the provisions of the Partnership Agreement, the
      Prospectus
      and the Authorized Purchaser Agreement relating to unclear or ambiguous
      instructions.

    


    The
      Authorized Purchaser, and each distributor offering and selling Units as part
      of
      the distribution of such Units, shall comply with the prospectus delivery
      and
      disclosure requirements of the 1933 Act as well as the analogous requirements
      under the CEA, including, the requirement that prospective investors provide
      an
      acknowledgement of receipt of such disclosure materials prior to the payment
      for
      any Units to the extent the foregoing relates to the Authorized Purchaser’s
      transactions in, and activities with respect to Units.

    CREATION
      PROCESS

    


    An
      Order
      to purchase one or more of the initial Baskets placed by the Authorized
      Purchaser with the Marketing Agent by 9:00 AM New York time (the “Order Cut-Off
      Time”) on a Business Day (such day, “CREATION T”) results in the transfer to the
      Authorized Purchaser’s account at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) of
      Baskets the Authorized Purchaser has purchased by 12:00 PM New York time on
      CREATION T+0 if payment for such Baskets has been received by the Custodian
      prior to that time: 

    


    CREATION
      PROCEDURES

    


    1. By
      the
      Order Cut-Off Time (the earlier of the close of regular trading on the AMEX
      or
      9:00 AM New York time), an Authorized Person of the Authorized Purchaser calls
      the Marketing Agent at (303) 623-2577 to notify such agent that the Authorized
      Purchaser wishes to place a Purchase Order to create an identified number of
      Baskets and to request that it be provided with an order number (an “Order
      Number”). The Authorized Person provides a PIN number as identification. The
      Marketing Agent provides the Authorized Purchaser with an Order Number for
      the
      Authorized Purchaser’s Purchase Order Form. The Authorized Purchaser then
      completes and faxes to the Marketing Agent the Purchase Order Form included
      as
      Exhibit B to the Authorized Purchaser Agreement. The Purchase Order Form must
      include the Authorized Person’s signature, the number of Baskets being
      purchased, and the Order Number. 

    


    2. If
      the
      Marketing Agent has not received the Purchase Order Form from the Authorized
      Purchaser within 15 minutes after the Marketing Agent receives the phone call
      from the Authorized Purchaser referenced in item (1) above, the Marketing Agent
      places a phone call to the Authorized Purchaser to enquire about the status
      of
      the Order. If the Authorized Purchaser does not fax the Purchase Order Form
      to
      the Marketing Agent within 15 minutes after the Marketing Agent’s phone call,
      the Authorized Purchaser’s Order is cancelled. The Marketing Agent will then
      notify the Authorized Purchaser that the Order has been cancelled via telephone
      call.

    


    3. By
      placing a Purchase Order, an Authorized Purchaser agrees to (1) deposit
      Treasuries, cash, or a combination of Treasuries and cash with the Custodian
      of
      the Fund, and (2) enter into or arrange for a block trade, an exchange for
      physical or exchange for swap, or any other over-the-counter energy transaction
      (through itself or a designated acceptable broker) with the Fund for the
      purchase of a number and type of futures contracts at the closing settlement
      price for such contracts on the Purchase Order Date, as specified in the
      Purchase Order Form (see Exhibit B). Failure to consummate (1) and (2) above
      shall result in the cancellation of the order. If
      the
Marketing
      Agent has received the Authorized Purchaser’s Purchase Order Form on time in
      accordance with the preceding timing rules, then by 10:00 AM New York time
      the
      Marketing Agent returns to the Authorized Purchaser a copy of the Purchase
      Order
      Form submitted, marking it “Affirmed.” The
      Marketing Agent shall also have completed Part II of the Purchase Order Form,
      which includes the specific number and type of futures contracts to be purchased
      at the closing settlement price on the Purchase Order Date.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        26

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    4. Based
      on
      the Purchase Orders placed with it on CREATION T, the Marketing Agent sends
      a
      facsimile to the Transfer Agent indicating the total number of creation Units
      and total amount of cash and/or Treasuries for which the Marketing Agent will
      require an allocation into the custodial accounts
      of,
      respectively, the Authorized Purchaser and the Fund on CREATION T+0 once the
      Custodian confirms to the Transfer Agent that the payment for such Baskets
      in
      same day funds has been received by it from the Authorized Purchaser. If the
      Marketing Agent rejects a Purchase Order pursuant to the Authorized Purchaser
      Agreement after the foregoing messages are given to the Custodian, the Marketing
      Agent will notify the Transfer Agent of such rejection as soon as practicable
      but, in any event, by 10:30 AM New York time the same day, identifying the
      amount of cash and/or Treasuries contained in the rejected Purchase Order.
      The
      Transfer Agent will address any such rejection notifications received after
      10:30 AM New York time only on a best efforts basis.

    BBH
      Pricing Policies

    Futures,
      Forwards, Swaps, Options and Treasuries

    


    The
      pricing policies stated below are used for all BBH clients,
      including Mutual Fund Registered Investment Companies. These policies have
      been
      audited by numerous accounting firms during annual fund audits.


    


    Futures

    Futures
      traded on exchanges are valued using the closing settlement prices quoted on
      the
      relevant exchange and obtained from pricing sources, typically Bloomberg or
      Reuters. 

    


    Forward
      Currency Contracts

    BBH
      obtains the WM Reuters London Close closing spot rates and the WM Reuters London
      Close forward point rates on a daily basis. The currency forward contract
      pricing model derives the differential in point rates to the expiration date
      of
      the forward and calculates its present value. The forward is valued at the
      net
      of the present value and the spot rate.

    


    Swaps

    Swaps
      and
      other similar derivative or contractual type instruments are valued at a price
      provided by a single broker or dealer, typically the counterparty. If no such
      price is available, the contract is valued at a price at which the counterparty
      to such contract would repurchase the instrument or terminate the
      contract.

    


    Options

    Option
      contracts on securities, currencies, indices, futures contracts, commodities
      and
      other instruments shall be valued at the last sale price on the exchange or
      market that is the Primary Market. If a contract did not trade on the Primary
      Market, it shall be valued at the last sale price on another exchange or market
      where it did trade. If there is no such sale price, the value shall be the
      most
      recent bid quotation.

    


    Sale
      prices and bid quotations indicated above shall be supplied by a Pricing Service
      (Reuters, Bloomberg, IDC, etc.). If a Pricing Service is not able to provide
      such sale prices or bid quotations, the value shall be determined by taking
      the
      mean between the bid and the asked quotations provided by a single broker or
      dealer, unless the broker or dealer can only provide a bid quotation, in which
      case the value shall be such bid quotation.

    


    Except
      as
      provided below, OTC currency options are valued by uploading the applicable
      implied volatility rates from Reuters or Bloomberg. Other inputs are either
      uploaded (interest rates, spots) or are specified when the ticker symbols are
      set up (expiration date, strike). OTC currency options are then priced by using
      the Garman-Kohlhagen modified Black-Scholes formula, which adjusts for a
      constant yield versus a fixed dividend.

    Except
      as
      provided below, OTC equity/index options are priced according to the contract
      specifications (days to expiration, current spot index level, interest rates,
      dividends, strike price) using
      the
      Black-Scholes pricing model, modified for dividends. The volatility input
      assumption is interpolated from the previous day’s price.

    


    US
      Treasuries

    BBH
      uses
      an evaluated bid supplied by IDC for treasury prices.
