of any notice from any taxing authority having jurisdiction over such holders of Shares with respect to the treatment of the Shares as anything other than interests in a partnership.

authorized to perform all duties imposed by § 6221 et seq. of the Code, including, without limitation, (A) the power to conduct all audits and other administrative proceedings with respect to tax items; (B) the power to extend the statute of
limitations for all Shareholders with respect to tax items; (C) the power to file a petition with an appropriate U.S. federal court for review of a final administrative adjustment; and (D) the power to enter into a settlement with the IRS on behalf
of, and binding upon, the Limited Owner. The designation made by each Shareholder in this Section 1.6(b) is

hereby approved by each Shareholder as an express condition to becoming a Shareholder. Each Shareholder agrees to take any further action as may be required
by regulation or otherwise to effectuate such designation. Subject to Section 4.7, the Master Fund hereby indemnifies, to the full extent permitted by law, the Managing Owner from and against any damages or losses (including attorneys’ fees)
arising out of or incurred in connection with any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in carrying out its responsibilities as Tax Matters Partner, provided such action taken or omitted to be taken does not constitute fraud, negligence or
misconduct. 
  
 (c) Each Shareholder shall
furnish the Managing Owner and the Trustee with information necessary to enable the Managing Owner to comply with U.S. federal income tax information reporting requirements in respect of such Shareholder’s Shares. 
  
 SECTION 1.7. General Liability of the Managing Owner. 
  
 (a) The Managing Owner shall be liable for the acts,
omissions, obligations and expenses of the Master Fund, to the extent not paid out of the assets of the Master Fund, to the same extent the Managing Owner would be so liable as if the Master Fund was a partnership under the Delaware Revised Uniform
Limited Partnership Act and the Managing Owner were a general partner of such partnership. The foregoing provision shall not, however, limit the ability of the Managing Owner to limit its liability by contract. The obligations of the Managing Owner
under this Section 1.7 shall be evidenced by its ownership of the General Shares which, solely for purposes of the Delaware Trust Statute, will be deemed to be a separate class of Shares. Without limiting or affecting the liability of the Managing
Owner as set forth in this Section 1.7, notwithstanding anything in this Trust Agreement to the contrary, Persons having any claim against the Master Fund by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Trust Agreement and any other agreement,
instrument, obligation or other undertaking to which the Master Fund is a party, shall look only to the appropriate Master Fund Estate for payment or satisfaction thereof. 
  
 (b) Subject to Sections 8.1 and 8.3 hereof, no Shareholder, other than the Managing Owner, to the extent set
forth above, shall have any personal liability for any liability or obligation of the Master Fund thereof. 
  
 SECTION 1.8. Legal Title. Legal title to the Trust Estate shall be vested in the Master Fund as a separate legal entity; provided, however,
that where applicable law in any jurisdiction requires any part of the Trust Estate to be vested otherwise, the Managing Owner may cause legal title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof to be held by or in the name of the Managing Owner or any
other Person (other than a Shareholder) as nominee.

agrees to serve as the Trustee of the Master Fund. The Master Fund shall have only one Trustee unless otherwise determined by the Managing Owner. The Trustee shall serve until such time as the Managing Owner removes the Trustee or the Trustee
resigns and a successor Trustee is appointed by the Managing Owner in accordance with the terms of Section 2.5 hereof. 
  
 (b) The Trustee may resign at any time upon the giving of at least 60 days’ advance written notice to the Master Fund; provided, that
such resignation shall not become effective unless and until a successor Trustee shall have been appointed by the Managing Owner in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof. If the Managing Owner does not act within such sixty (60) day period, the Trustee

 SECTION 2.2. Powers. Except to the extent expressly set forth in Section 1.3 and this Article II,
the duty and authority of the Trustee to manage the business and affairs of the Master Fund is hereby delegated to the Managing Owner, which duty and authority the Managing Owner may further delegate as provided herein, all pursuant to Section
3806(b)(7) of the Delaware Trust Statute. The Trustee shall have only the rights, obligations and liabilities specifically provided for herein and shall have no implied rights, duties, obligations and liabilities with respect to the business and
affairs of the Master Fund. The Trustee shall have the power and authority to execute and file certificates as required by the Delaware Trust Statute and to accept service of process on the Master Fund in the State of Delaware. The Trustee shall
provide prompt notice to the Managing Owner of its performance of any of the foregoing. The Managing Owner shall reasonably keep the Trustee informed of any actions taken by the Managing Owner with respect to the Master Fund that would reasonably be
expected to affect the rights, obligations or liabilities of the Trustee hereunder or under the Delaware Trust Statute. 
  
 SECTION 2.3. Compensation and Expenses of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive from the Managing Owner or an Affiliate of the
Managing Owner (including the Master Fund) reasonable compensation for its services hereunder as set forth in a separate fee agreement and shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Managing Owner or an Affiliate of the Managing Owner (including the
Master Fund) for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in the performance of its duties hereunder, including without limitation, the reasonable compensation, out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements of counsel and such other agents as the
Trustee may employ in connection with the exercise and performance of its rights and duties hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 2.4. Indemnification. The Managing Owner agrees (and any additional Managing Owner admitted pursuant to Section 4.2(g) will be deemed to
agree), whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, to assume liability for, and does hereby indemnify, protect, save and keep harmless Wilmington Trust Company (in its capacity as Trustee and individually) and
its successors, assigns, legal representatives, officers, directors, employees, agents and servants (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, taxes (excluding any taxes
payable by the Trustee on or measured by any compensation received by the Trustee for its services hereunder or any indemnity payments received by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 2.4), claims, actions, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
(including legal fees and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever (collectively, “Expenses”), which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Indemnified Parties in any way relating to or arising out of the formation,
operation or termination of the Master Fund, the execution, delivery and performance of any other agreements to which the Master Fund is a party or the action or inaction of the Trustee hereunder or thereunder, except for Expenses resulting from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. The indemnities contained in this Section 2.4 shall survive the termination of this Trust Agreement or the removal or resignation of the Trustee. The Indemnified Parties shall not be
entitled to indemnification from any Master Fund Estate. 
  
 SECTION 2.5. Successor Trustee. 
  
 Upon the
resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Managing Owner shall appoint a successor Trustee by delivering a written instrument to the outgoing Trustee. Any successor Trustee must satisfy the requirements of Section 3807 of the Delaware Trust
Statute. Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall not become effective until a written acceptance of appointment is delivered by the successor Trustee to the outgoing Trustee and the Managing Owner and
any fees and expenses due to the outgoing Trustee are paid. Following compliance with the preceding sentence, the successor Trustee shall become fully vested with all of the rights, powers, duties and obligations of the outgoing Trustee under this
Trust Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee, and the outgoing Trustee shall be discharged of its duties and obligations under this Trust Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 2.6. Liability of Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in this Article II, in accepting the trust created
hereby, Wilmington Trust Company acts solely as Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity, and all Persons having any claim against Wilmington Trust Company by reason of the transactions contemplated 

  

 8 








 
by this Trust Agreement and any other agreement to which the Master Fund is a party shall look only to the Master Fund Estate for payment or satisfaction
thereof; provided, however, that in no event is the foregoing intended to affect or limit the liability of the Managing Owner as set forth in Section 1.7 hereof. The Trustee shall not be liable or accountable hereunder to the Trust or to any
other Person or under any other agreement to which the Master Fund is a party, except for the Trustee’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. In particular, but not by way of limitation: 
  
 (a) The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility
for the validity or sufficiency of this Trust Agreement or for the form, character, genuineness, sufficiency, value or validity of the Trust Estate; 
  
 (b) The Trustee shall not be liable for any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the instructions of the Managing
Owner or the Liquidating Trustee;

delegatees or any commodity broker; 
  
 (e) No
provision of this Trust Agreement shall require the Trustee to act or expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its rights or powers hereunder if the Trustee shall have reasonable grounds
for believing that such action, repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured or provided to it; 
  
 (f) Under no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable for indebtedness evidenced by or other obligations of the Master Fund arising under
this Trust Agreement or any other agreements to which the Master Fund is a party; 
  
 (g) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement, or to
institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Trust Agreement or any other agreements to which the Master Fund is a party, at the request, order or direction of the Managing Owner unless the Managing Owner has offered to Wilmington Trust
Company (in its capacity as Trustee and individually) security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by Wilmington Trust Company (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
expenses of its counsel) therein or thereby; 
  
 (h) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall not be required to take any action in any jurisdiction other than in the State of Delaware if the taking of such action will require the consent or approval or
authorization or order of or the giving of notice to, or the registration with or taking of any action in respect of, any state or other governmental authority or agency of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware, (ii) result in any fee,
tax or other governmental charge under the laws of any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof in existence as of the date hereof other than the State of Delaware becoming payable by the Trustee or (iii) subject the Trustee to personal
jurisdiction, other than in the State of Delaware, for causes of action arising from personal acts unrelated to the consummation of the transactions by the Trustee, as the case may be, contemplated hereby; and 
  
 (i) To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Trustee has
duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Master Fund, the Shareholders or to any other Person, the Trustee acting under this Trust Agreement shall not be liable to the Master Fund, the Shareholders or to any other
Person for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The provisions of this Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Trustee otherwise existing at law or in equity are agreed by the
parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Trustee. 
  
 SECTION 2.7. Reliance; Advice of Counsel. 
  
 (a) In the absence of bad faith, the Trustee may conclusively rely upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming
to the requirements of this Trust Agreement in determining the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions contained therein, and shall incur no liability to 

  

 9 








 
anyone in acting on any signature, instrument, notice, resolutions, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper
believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties and need not investigate any fact or matter pertaining to or in any such document; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have examined any certificates
or opinions so as to reasonably determine compliance of the same with the requirements of this Trust Agreement. The Trustee may accept a certified copy of a resolution of the board of directors or other governing body of any corporate party as
conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by such body and that the same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the method of the determination of which is not specifically prescribed herein, the Trustee may for
all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by the president or any vice president or by the treasurer or other authorized officers of the relevant party, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the
Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon. 
  
 (b) In the exercise or administration of the Master Fund hereunder and in the performance of its duties and obligations under this Trust
Agreement, the Trustee, at the expense of the Managing Owner or an Affiliate of the Managing Owner (including the Master Fund) may act directly or through its agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees pursuant to agreements entered into with any of
them, and the Trustee shall not be liable for the conduct or misconduct of such agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees if such agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees shall have been selected by the Trustee with reasonable care and (ii) may
consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled professionals to be selected with reasonable care by it. The Trustee shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the opinion or advice of any
such counsel, accountant or other such Persons. 
  
 SECTION 2.8.
Payments to the Trustee. Any amounts paid to the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be deemed not to be a part of the Trust Estate immediately after such payment. Any amounts owing to the Trustee under this Trust Agreement shall
constitute a claim against the Trust Estate.

 CREATIONS AND ISSUANCE OF CREATION BASKETS

  
 SECTION 3.1. General. The Managing Owner shall have
the power and authority, without Limited Owner approval, to issue Shares from time to time as it deems necessary or desirable. The number of Shares authorized shall be unlimited, and the Units so authorized may be represented in part by fractional
Shares, calculated to four decimal places. From time-to-time, the Managing Owner may divide or combine the Shares into a greater or lesser number without thereby changing the proportionate beneficial interests. The Managing Owner may issue Shares
for such consideration and on such terms as it may determine (or for no consideration if pursuant to a Share dividend or split-up), all without action or approval of the Limited Owner. All Shares when so issued on the terms determined by the
Managing Owner shall be fully paid and non-assessable. The Shares initially shall be divided into two classes: General Shares and Limited Shares. Every Shareholder, by virtue of having purchased or otherwise a acquired Share, shall be deemed to have
expressly consented and agreed to be bound by the terms of this Trust Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 3.2. Offer of Limited Shares; Procedures for Creation and Issuance of Creation Baskets. 
  
 (a) General. The following procedures, as supplemented by the more detailed procedures agreed from time to time between the
Managing Owner and the Limited Owner, will govern the Trust with respect to the creation and issuance of Creation Baskets. Subject to the limitations upon and requirements for issuance of Creation Baskets stated herein and in such procedures, the
number of Creation Baskets which may be issued by the Master Fund is unlimited. 
  
 (i) On any Business Day, the Limited Owner may submit to the Managing Owner a purchase order and subscription agreement to subscribe for
and agree to purchase one or more Creation Baskets (such 

  

 10 








 
request by the Limited Owner, a “Purchase Order Subscription Agreement”). Purchase Order Subscription Agreements must be received by the Managing
Owner from the Limited Owner no later than the Order Cut-Off Time on a Business Day (the “Purchase Order Subscription Date”). The Managing Owner will process Purchase Order Subscription Agreements only from the Limited Owner. 

 
 (ii) Any Purchase Order is subject to rejection by the
Managing Owner pursuant to Section 3.2(c). 
  
 (iii) After accepting a Purchase Order Subscription Agreement from the Limited Owner, the Managing Owner will issue and deliver Creation Baskets to fill the Limited Owner’s Purchase Order Subscription Agreement as of noon New York time
on the Business Day immediately following the Purchase Order Subscription Date, but only if by such time the Managing Owner has received (A) for its own account, the Transaction Fee, and (B) for the account of the Master Fund the Creation Basket
Capital Contribution due from the Limited Owner in respect of such Purchase Order Subscription Agreement. 
  
 (b) Issuance of Creation Basket. Upon issuing a Creation Basket pursuant to a Purchase Order Subscription Agreement, the Managing
Owner will issue the Creation Basket to the Limited Owner. 
  
 (c) Rejection. The Managing Owner shall have the absolute right, but shall have no obligation, to reject any Purchase Order Subscription Agreement or Creation Basket Capital Contribution (i) determined by the
Managing Owner not to be in proper form; (ii) that the Managing Owner has determined would have adverse tax consequences to the Master Fund or to the Limited Owner; (iii) the acceptance or receipt of which would, in the opinion of counsel to the
Managing Owner, be unlawful; or (iv) if circumstances outside the control of the Managing Owner make it for all practical purposes not feasible to process creations of Creation Baskets. The Managing Owner shall not be liable to any person by reason
of the rejection of any Purchase Order Subscription Agreement or Creation Basket Capital Contribution. 
  
 (d) Baskets may not be created during the Initial Offering Period. 
  
 SECTION 3.3. Assets of the Master Fund. All consideration received by the Master Fund for the issue or sale of
Creation Baskets together with all of the Trust Estate in which such consideration is invested or reinvested, all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets,
and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever form the same may be, shall irrevocably belong to the Master Fund for all purposes, subject only to the rights of creditors of the Master Fund and except as may
otherwise be required by applicable tax laws, and shall be so recorded upon the books of account of the Master Fund. 
  
 SECTION 3.4. Liabilities. The Trust Estate shall be charged with the liabilities of the Master Fund; and all expenses, costs, charges and reserves
attributable to the Master Fund. The Managing Owner shall have full discretion, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, to determine which items shall be treated as income and which items as capital, and each such determination and
allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders. 
  
 SECTION 3.5. Distributions. Distributions on Shares may be paid with such frequency as the Managing Owner may determine, which may be daily or otherwise, to the Shareholders from such of the income and capital gains, accrued or
realized, as the Managing Owner may determine, after providing for actual and accrued liabilities of the Master Fund. All distributions on Shares shall be distributed pro rata to the Shareholders in proportion to the total outstanding Shares
held by such Shareholders at the date and time of record established for the payment of such distribution. 
  
 SECTION 3.6. Voting Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, on each matter submitted to a vote of the Shareholders, each Shareholder
shall be entitled to a proportionate vote based upon the product of the Net Asset Value per Share multiplied by the number of Shares, or fraction thereof, standing in its name on the books of the Master Fund. 
  

 11 








 SECTION 3.7. Equality. Except as provided herein, all Shares shall represent an equal
proportionate beneficial interest in the assets of the Master Fund subject to the liabilities of the Master Fund, and each Share shall be equal to each other Share. The Managing Owner may from time to time divide or combine the Shares into a greater
or lesser number of Shares without thereby changing the proportionate beneficial interest in the assets of the Master Fund or in any way affecting the rights of Shareholders. 
  
 ARTICLE IV

may be performed by an Affiliate or Affiliates of the Managing Owner so long as the Managing Owner has made a good faith determination that: (A) the Affiliate which it proposes to engage to perform such services is qualified to do so (considering
the prior experience of the Affiliate or the individuals employed thereby); (B) the terms and conditions of the agreement pursuant to which such Affiliate is to perform services for the Master Fund are no less favorable to the Master Fund than could
be obtained from equally-qualified unaffiliated third parties; and (C) the maximum period covered by the agreement pursuant to which such affiliate is to perform services for the Master Fund shall not exceed one year, and such agreement shall be
terminable without penalty upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice by the Master Fund.

banking and savings institutions, and execute and/or accept any instrument or agreement incidental to the Master Fund’s business and in furtherance of its purposes, any such instrument or agreement so executed or accepted by the Managing Owner

 12 








 (g) In the sole discretion of the Managing Owner, to admit an Affiliate or Affiliates of
the Managing Owner as additional Managing Owners. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Managing Owner may not admit Affiliate(s) of the Managing Owner as an additional Managing Owner if it has received notice of its removal as a Managing Owner,
pursuant to Section 8.2(d) hereof, or if the concurrence of at least a majority in interest (over 50%) of the outstanding Shares (not including Shares owned by the Managing Owner) is not obtained; and 
  
 SECTION 4.3. Obligations of the Managing Owner. In addition to the
obligations expressly provided by the Delaware Trust Statute or this Trust Agreement, the Managing Owner shall:

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

 (j) Perform such other services as the Managing Owner believes that the Master Fund may from time to time require. 
  
 SECTION 4.4. General Prohibitions. The Master Fund shall not:

  
 (a) Borrow money from or loan money to any
Shareholder (including the Managing Owner) or other Person, except that the foregoing is not intended to prohibit (i) the deposit on margin with respect to the initiation and maintenance of Commodities positions or (ii) obtaining lines of credit for

 13 








 (b) Create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any lien, mortgage, pledge conditional sales
or other title retention agreement, charge, security interest or encumbrance, except (i) the right and/or obligation of a commodity broker to close out sufficient commodities positions of the Master Fund so as to restore the Master Fund’s
account to proper margin status in the event that the Master Fund fails to meet a Margin Call, (ii) liens for taxes not delinquent or being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and for which appropriate reserves have been
established, (iii) deposits or pledges to secure obligations under workmen’s compensation, social security or similar laws or under unemployment insurance, (iv) deposits or pledges to secure contracts (other than contracts for the payment of

penalty on sixty (60) days prior written notice or for the provision of goods and services, except at rates and terms at least as favorable as those which may be obtained from third parties in arms-length negotiations; 
  
 (h) Permit churning of its Commodity trading account(s) for

 SECTION 4.5. Liability of Covered Persons. A Covered
Person shall have no liability to the Master Fund or to any Shareholder or other Covered Person for any loss suffered by the Master Fund which arises out of any action or inaction of such Covered Person if such Covered Person, in good faith,
determined that such course of conduct was in the best interest of the Master Fund and such course of conduct did not constitute negligence or misconduct of such Covered Person. Subject to the foregoing, neither the Managing Owner nor any other
Covered Person shall be personally liable for the return or repayment of all or any portion of the capital or profits of the Limited Owner or assignee thereof, it being expressly agreed that any such return of capital or profits made pursuant to
this Trust Agreement shall be made solely from the assets of the Master Fund without any rights of contribution from the Managing Owner or any other Covered Person. 
  
 SECTION 4.6. Fiduciary Duty. 
  
 (a) To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Managing Owner has duties (including fiduciary duties) and
liabilities relating thereto to the Master Fund, the Shareholders or to any other Person, the Managing Owner acting under this Trust Agreement shall not be liable to the Master Fund, the Shareholders or to any 

  

 14 








 
other Person for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement subject to the standard of care in Section 4.5 herein. The provisions of
this Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Managing Owner otherwise existing at law or in equity are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Managing Owner. Any
material changes in the Master Fund’s basic investment policies or structure shall occur only upon the written approval or affirmative vote of Limited Shares equal to at least a majority (over 50%) of the Net Asset Value of the Master Fund
(excluding Shares held by the Managing Owner and its Affiliates) of the Master Fund pursuant to Section 11.1(a) below. 
  
 (b) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein: 
  

(i) whenever a conflict of interest exists or arises between the Managing Owner or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the
Master Fund or any Shareholder or any other Person, on the other hand; or 
  
 (ii) whenever this Trust Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or therein provides that the Managing Owner shall act in a manner that is, or provides terms that are, fair and reasonable to the Master
Fund, any Shareholder or any other Person, 
  
 the Managing Owner
shall resolve such conflict of interest, take such action or provide such terms, considering in each case the relative interest of each party (including its own interest) to such conflict, agreement, transaction or situation and the benefits and
burdens relating to such interests, any customary or accepted industry practices, and any applicable generally accepted accounting practices or principles. In the absence of bad faith by the Managing Owner, the resolution, action or terms so made,
taken or provided by the Managing Owner shall not constitute a breach of this Trust Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or of any duty or obligation of the Managing Owner at law or in equity or otherwise. 
  
 (c) The Managing Owner and any Affiliate of the Managing
Owner may engage in or possess an interest in other profit-seeking or business ventures of any nature or description, independently or with others, whether or not such ventures are competitive with the Master Fund and the doctrine of corporate
opportunity, or any analogous doctrine, shall not apply to the Managing Owner. If the Managing Owner acquires knowledge of a potential transaction, agreement, arrangement or other matter that may be an opportunity for the Master Fund, it shall have
no duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to the Master Fund, and the Managing Owner shall not be liable to the Master Fund or to the Shareholders for breach of any fiduciary or other duty by reason of the fact that the Managing Owner pursues
or acquires for, or directs such opportunity to another Person or does not communicate such opportunity or information to the Master Fund. Neither the Master Fund nor any Shareholder shall have any rights or obligations by virtue of this Trust
Agreement or the Master Fund relationship created hereby in or to such independent ventures or the income or profits or losses derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such ventures, even if competitive with the activities of the Master Fund, shall not
be deemed wrongful or improper. Except to the extent expressly provided herein, the Managing Owner may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Master Fund, the Shareholders or any Affiliate of the Master Fund or the
Shareholders. 
  
 SECTION 4.7. Indemnification of the Managing
Owner. 
  
 (a) The Managing Owner shall be
indemnified by the Master Fund against any losses, judgments, liabilities, expenses and amounts paid in settlement of any claims sustained by it in connection with its activities for the Master Fund, provided that (i) the Managing Owner was acting
on behalf of or performing services for the Master Fund and has determined, in good faith, that such course of conduct was in the best interests of the Master Fund and such liability or loss was not the result of negligence, misconduct, or a breach
of this Trust Agreement on the part of the Managing Owner and (ii) any such indemnification will only be recoverable from the Master Fund Estate. All rights to indemnification permitted herein and payment of associated expenses shall not be affected
by the dissolution or other cessation to exist of the Managing Owner, or the withdrawal, adjudication of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Managing Owner, or 

  

 15 








 
the filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy under Title 11 of the U.S. Code by or against the Managing Owner. The source of payments made
in respect of indemnification under this Trust Agreement shall be from assets of the Master Fund. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.6(a) above, the Managing Owner and any Person acting as broker-dealer for the Master Fund
shall not be indemnified for any losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of U.S. federal or state securities laws unless (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged
securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee and the court approves the indemnification of such expenses (including, without limitation, litigation costs), (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of
competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee and the court approves the indemnification of such expenses (including, without limitation, litigation costs) or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims
against a particular indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and related costs should be made. 
  
 (c) The Master Fund shall not incur the cost of that portion of any insurance which insures any party against any liability, the
indemnification of which is herein prohibited. 
  
 (d) Expenses incurred in defending a threatened or pending civil, administrative or criminal action suit or proceeding against the Managing Owner shall be paid by the Master Fund in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding, if (i) the legal action relates to the performance of duties or services by the Managing Owner on behalf of the Master Fund; (ii) the legal action is initiated by a third party who is not the Limited Owner or the legal action is
initiated by the Limited Owner and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advance; and (iii) the Managing Owner undertakes to repay the advanced funds with interest to the Master Fund in cases in which it is not entitled to
indemnification under this Section 4.7. 
  
 (e)
The term “Managing Owner” as used only in this Section 4.7 shall include, in addition to the Managing Owner, any other Covered Person performing services on behalf of the Master Fund and acting within the scope of the Managing Owner’s
authority as set forth in this Trust Agreement. 
  
 (f) In the event the Master Fund is made a party to any claim, dispute, demand or litigation or otherwise incurs any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense as a result of or in connection with the Limited Owner’s (or assignee’s)
obligations or liabilities unrelated to Master Fund business, the Limited Owner (or assignees cumulatively) shall indemnify, defend, hold harmless, and reimburse the Master Fund for all such loss, liability, damage, cost and expense incurred,
including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees.

 17 








 (c) The Managing Owner or any Affiliate of the Managing Owner may only be reimbursed for
the actual cost to the Managing Owner or such Affiliate of any expenses which it advances on behalf of the Master Fund for which payment the Master Fund is responsible. In addition, payment to the Managing Owner or such Affiliate for indirect
expenses incurred in performing services for the Master Fund in its capacity as the managing owner of the Master Fund, such as salaries and fringe benefits of officers and directors, rent or depreciation, utilities and other administrative items
generally falling within the category of the Managing Owner’s “overhead,” is prohibited.

distributions pursuant to the provisions of this Trust Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 4.10. Other Business of Shareholders. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any of the Shareholders and any shareholder, officer, director, employee or other person holding a legal or beneficial interest in an
entity which is a Shareholder, may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of every nature and description, independently or with others, and the pursuit of such ventures, even if competitive with the business of the Master Fund,
shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. 
  
 SECTION 4.11.
Voluntary Withdrawal of the Managing Owner. The Managing Owner may withdraw voluntarily as the Managing Owner of the Master Fund only upon one hundred and twenty (120) days’ prior written notice to the Limited Owner and the Trustee. If
the withdrawing Managing Owner is the last remaining Managing Owner, the Limited Owner may appoint, effective as of a date on or prior to the withdrawal, a successor Managing Owner who shall carry on the business of the Master Fund. In the event of
its removal or withdrawal, the Managing Owner shall be entitled to a redemption of its Share at the Net Asset Value thereof on the next Redemption Date following the date of removal or withdrawal. If the Managing Owner withdraws and a successor
Managing Owner is named, the withdrawing Managing Owner shall pay all expenses as a result of its withdrawal.

to judgment or final decision thereon, first, out of any insurance proceeds available therefor, next, out of the Master Fund’s assets and, thereafter, out of the assets (to the extent that it is permitted to do so under the various other
provisions of this Trust Agreement) of the Managing Owner.

 ARTICLE V 
  

TRANSFERS OF SHARES 
  
 SECTION 5.1. Transfer of Managing Owner’s General Shares. 
  
 (a) Upon an Event of Withdrawal (as defined in Section 13.1), the Managing Owner’s General Shares shall
be purchased by the Master Fund for a purchase price in cash equal to the Net Asset Value thereof. The Managing Owner will not cease to be a Managing Owner of the Master Fund merely upon the occurrence of its making an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, filing a petition or answer seeking for itself any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any statute, law or regulation, filing
an answer or other pleading admitting or failing to contest material allegations of a petition filed against it in any proceeding of this nature or seeking, consenting to or acquiescing in the appointment of a Trustee, receiver or liquidator for
itself or of all or any substantial part of its properties. 
  
 (b) To the full extent permitted by law, and on sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Limited Owner, of its right to vote thereon, if the transaction is other than with an Affiliated entity, nothing in
this Trust Agreement shall be deemed to prevent the merger of the Managing Owner with another corporation or other entity, the reorganization of the Managing Owner into or with any other corporation or other entity, the transfer of all the capital
stock of the Managing Owner or the assumption of the Shares, rights, duties and liabilities of the Managing Owner by, in the case of a merger, reorganization or consolidation, the surviving corporation or other entity by operation of law or the
transfer of the Managing Owner’s Shares to an Affiliate of the Managing Owner. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the transactions referenced in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a voluntary withdrawal for purposes of Section
4.11 or an Event of Withdrawal or assignment of Shares for purposes of Sections 5.2(a) or 5.2(c). 
  
 (c) Upon assignment of all of its Shares, the Managing Owner shall not cease to be a Managing Owner of the Master Fund, or to have the
power to exercise any rights or powers as a Managing Owner, or to have liability for the obligations of the Master Fund under Section 1.7 hereof, until an additional Managing Owner, who shall carry on the business of the Master Fund, has been
admitted to the Master Fund. 
  
 SECTION 5.2. Transfer of
Limited Shares. 
  
 (a) The Managing Owner
reserves the right to permit or deny, in its sole discretion, any written requests from the Limited Owner with respect to transferring Limited Shares. Permitted assignees of the Limited Owner shall be admitted as a substitute Limited Owner pursuant
to this Article V only upon the Managing Owner’s prior written consent. 
  
 (i) A substituted Limited Owner is a permitted assignee that has been admitted as a Limited Owner with all the rights and powers of a Limited Owner hereunder. If all of the conditions provided in Section 5.2(b) below
are satisfied, the Managing Owner shall admit permitted assignees into the Master Fund as a Limited Owner by making an entry on the books and records of the Master Fund reflecting that such permitted assignees have been admitted as a Limited Owner,
and such permitted assignees will be deemed a Limited Owner at such time as such admission is reflected on the books and records of the Master Fund. 
  
 (ii) A permitted assignee is a Person to whom a Limited Owner has assigned his Limited Shares with the consent of the Managing Owner, as
provided below in Section 5.2(d) but who has not become a substituted Limited Owner. A permitted assignee shall have no right to vote, to obtain any information on or account of the Master Fund’s transactions or to inspect the Master
Fund’s books, but shall only be entitled to receive the share of the profits, or the return of the Capital Contribution, to which his assignor would otherwise be entitled as set forth in Section 5.2(d) below to the extent of the Limited Shares
assigned. The Limited Owner agrees that any permitted assignee may become a substituted Limited Owner without the further act or consent of the Limited Owner, regardless of whether his permitted assignee becomes a substituted Limited Owner.

  

 19 








 (iii) A Limited Owner shall bear all extraordinary costs (including attorneys’ and
accountants’ fees), if any, related to any transfer, assignment, pledge or encumbrance of his Limited Shares. 
  
 (b) No permitted assignee of the whole or any portion of a Limited Owner’s Limited Shares shall have the right to become a
substituted Limited Owner in place of his assignor unless all of the following conditions are satisfied: 
  
 (i) The written consent of the Managing Owner to such substitution shall be obtained, the granting or denial of which shall be within the
sole and absolute discretion of the Managing Owner, subject to the provisions of Section 5.2(d)(i). 
  
 (ii) A duly executed and acknowledged written instrument of assignment has been filed with the Master Fund setting forth the intention of
the assignor that the permitted assignee become a substituted Limited Owner in his place; 
  
 (iii) The assignor and permitted assignee execute and acknowledge and/or deliver such other instruments as the Managing Owner may deem
necessary or desirable to effect such admission, including his execution, acknowledgment and delivery to the Managing Owner, as a counterpart to this Trust Agreement, of a Power of Attorney in the form set forth in the Subscription Agreement; and

  
 (iv) Upon the request of the Managing Owner,
an opinion of the Master Fund’s independent legal counsel is obtained to the effect that (A) the assignment will not jeopardize the Master Fund’s tax classification as a partnership and (B) the assignment does not violate this Trust
Agreement or the Delaware Trust Statute. 
  
 (c)
Any Person admitted as a Shareholder shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Trust Agreement as if an original signatory hereto. 
  
 (d) (i) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2(e) below and to the provisions of this Section generally, a Limited Owner, subject to the
Managing Owner’s consent, may have the right to assign all or any of his Limited Shares to any assignee by a written assignment (on a form acceptable to the Managing Owner) the terms of which are not in contravention of any of the provisions of
this Trust Agreement, which assignment has been executed by the assignor and received by the Master Fund and recorded on the books thereof. An assignee of a Limited Share (or any interest therein) will not be recognized as a permitted assignee
without the consent of the Managing Owner, which consent the Managing Owner may withhold in its sole discretion. The Managing Owner shall incur no liability to any investor or prospective investor for any action or inaction by it in connection with
the foregoing, provided it acted in good faith. 
  
 (ii) Except as specifically provided in this Trust Agreement, a permitted assignee of a Share shall be entitled to receive distributions attributable to the Share acquired by reason of such assignment from and after the effective date of
the assignment of such Share to him. The “effective date” of an assignment of a Limited Share shall be determined by the Managing Owner in its sole discretion. 
  
 (iii) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Master Fund and the Managing Owner shall be
entitled to treat the permitted assignor of such Share as the absolute owner thereof in all respects, and shall incur no liability for distributions made in good faith to him, until such time as the written assignment has been received by, and
recorded on the books of, the Master Fund. 
  
 (e) (i) No assignment or transfer of a Share may be made which would result in the Limited Owner and permitted assignees of the Limited Owner owning, directly or indirectly, individually or in the aggregate, 5% or more of the stock of the
Managing Owner or any related person as defined in Sections 267(b) and 707(b)(1) of the Code. If any such assignment or transfer would otherwise be made by bequest, inheritance of operation of law, the Share transferred shall be deemed sold by the
transferor to the Master Fund immediately prior to such transfer in the same manner as provided in Section 5.2(e)(ii). 
  
 (ii) Anything else to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding: (A) In any particular twelve (12) consecutive month period no
assignment or transfer of a Share may be made which would result in increasing the aggregate total of Shares previously assigned and/or transferred in said period to 49% or 

  

 20 








 
more of the outstanding Shares. This limitation is hereinafter referred to as the “forty-nine percent (49%) limitation”; (B) Clause (ii)(A) hereof
shall not apply to a transfer by gift, bequest or inheritance, or a transfer to the Master Fund, and, for purposes of the forty-nine percent (49%) limitation, any such transfer shall not be treated as such; (C) If, after the forty-nine percent (49%)
limitation is reached in any consecutive 12 month period, a transfer of a Share would otherwise take place by operation of law (but not including any transfer referred to in clause (iii)(B) hereof) and would cause a violation of the forty-nine
percent (49%) limitation, then said Share(s) shall be deemed to have been sold by the transferor to the Master Fund in liquidation of said Share(s) immediately prior to such transfer for a liquidation price equal to the Net Asset Value of said
Share(s) on such date of transfer. The liquidation price shall be paid within 90 days after the date of the transfer. 
  
 (f) The Managing Owner, in its sole discretion, may cause the Master Fund to make, refrain from making, or once having made, to revoke,
the election referred to in Section 754 of the Code, and any similar election provided by state or local law, or any similar provision enacted in lieu thereof. 
  

(g) The Managing Owner, in its sole discretion, may cause the Master Fund to make, refrain from making, or once having made, to revoke
the election by a qualified fund under Section 988(c)(1)(E)(V), and any similar election provided by state or local law, or any similar provision enacted in lieu thereof. 
  
 (h) The Limited Owner hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Master Fund and each Shareholder
against any and all losses, damages, liabilities or expense (including, without limitation, tax liabilities or loss of tax benefits) arising, directly or indirectly, as a result of any transfer or purported transfer by the Limited Owner in violation
of any provision contained in this Section 5.2. 
  
 ARTICLE VI

  
 DISTRIBUTION AND ALLOCATIONS 
  
 SECTION 6.1. Capital Accounts. A capital account shall be established
by the Managing Owner for each Shareholder (such account sometimes hereinafter referred to as a “book capital account”). The initial balance of each Shareholder’s book capital account shall be the amount of his initial Capital
Contribution. 
  
 SECTION 6.2. Daily Allocations. No less
frequently than as of the close of business of each Business Day, the following determinations and allocations shall be made: 
  
 (a) First, any increase or decrease in the Shares’ Net Asset Value as of such date as compared to the next previous determination of
Net Asset Value shall be credited or charged to the book capital accounts of the Shareholders in the ratio that the balance of each such Shareholder’s book capital account bears to the balance of all Shareholders’ in the Master Fund’s
book capital accounts; and 
  
 (b) Next, the
amount of any distribution to be made to a Shareholder and any amount to be paid to a Shareholder upon redemption of his Shares shall be charged to that Shareholder’s book capital account as of the applicable record date and Redemption Date,
respectively. 
  
 SECTION 6.3. Allocation of Profit and Loss
for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes. As of the end of each Fiscal Year of the Master Fund, each Share’s recognized profit and loss shall be allocated among the Shareholders pursuant to the following subparagraphs for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. Except as otherwise provided herein, such allocations of profit and loss shall be pro rata from Disposition Gain (or Disposition Loss) and Profits (or Losses). 
  
 (a) First, the Profits or Losses shall be allocated pro rata among the Shareholders based on their
respective book capital accounts as of the last day of each month in which such Profits or Losses accrued. 
  

 21 








 (b) Next, Disposition Gain or Disposition Loss from trading activities of the Master Fund
for each Fiscal Year of the Master Fund shall be allocated among the Shareholders as follows: 
  
 (i) There shall be established a tax capital account with respect to each Shareholder. The initial balance of each tax capital account
shall be the amount paid by the Shareholder for the Shares. Tax capital accounts shall be adjusted as of the end of each Fiscal Year as follows: (A) Each tax capital account shall be increased by the amount of income (Profits or Disposition Gain)
which shall have been allocated to the Shareholder who shall hold the Share pursuant to Section 6.3(a) above and Sections 6.3(b)(ii) and 6.3(b)(iii) below; (B) Each tax capital account shall be decreased by the amount of expense or loss (Losses or
Disposition Losses) which shall have been allocated to the Shareholder who shall hold the Share pursuant to Section 6.3(a) above and Sections 6.3(b)(iv) and 6.3(b)(v) below and by the amount of any distribution which shall have been received by the
Shareholder with respect to the Share (other than on redemption of Shares); and (C) If a Share is redeemed, the tax capital account with respect to such Share shall be eliminated on the Redemption Date. 
  
 (ii) Disposition Gain realized during any month shall be
allocated first among all Shareholders whose book capital accounts are in excess of their Shares’ tax capital accounts (after making the adjustments, other than adjustments resulting from the allocations to be made pursuant to this Section
6.3(b)(ii) for the current month, described in Section 6.3(b)(i) above) in the ratio that each such Shareholder’s excess shall bear to all such Shareholder’s excesses. 
  
 (iii) Disposition Gain realized during any month that remains after the allocation pursuant to Section
6.3(b)(ii) above shall be allocated to those Shareholders who were Shareholders during such month in the ratio that each such Shareholder’s book capital account bears to all such Shareholders’ book capital accounts as of the beginning of
such month. 
  
 (iv) Disposition Loss realized
during any month shall be allocated first among all Shareholders whose Shares’ tax capital accounts are in excess of their book capital accounts (after making the adjustments, other than adjustments resulting from the allocations to be made
pursuant to this Section 6.3(b)(iv) for the current month, described in Section 6.3(b)(i) above) in the ratio that each such Shareholder’s excess shall bear to all such Shareholders’ excesses. 
  
 (v) Disposition Loss realized during any month that remains
after the allocation pursuant to Section 6.3(b)(iv) above shall be allocated to those Shareholders who were Shareholders during such month in the ratio that each such Shareholder’s book capital account bears to all such Shareholders’ book
capital accounts as of the beginning of such calendar month. 
  
 (c) The tax allocations prescribed by this Section 6.3 shall be made to each holder of a Share whether or not the holder is a substituted Limited Owner. For purposes of this Section 6.3, tax allocations shall be made
to the Managing Owner’s Shares on a Share-equivalent basis. 
  
 (d) The allocation of income and loss (and items thereof) for U.S. federal income tax purposes set forth in this Section 6.3 is intended to allocate taxable income and loss among Shareholders generally in the ratio
and to the extent that net profit and net loss shall be allocated to such Shareholders under Section 6.2 so as to eliminate, to the extent possible, any disparity between a Shareholder’s book capital account and his tax capital account,
consistent with the principles set forth in Sections 704(b) and (c)(2) of the Code. 
  
 (e) Notwithstanding this Section 6.3, if after taking into account any distributions to be made with respect to such Share for the
relevant period pursuant to Section 6.4 herein, any allocation would produce a deficit in the book capital account of a Share, the portion of such allocation that would create such a deficit shall instead be allocated pro rata to the book
capital accounts of all the remaining Shareholders (subject to the same limitation). 
  
 SECTION 6.4. Allocation of Distributions. Initially, distributions shall be made by the Managing Owner, and the Managing Owner shall have sole discretion in determining the amount and frequency of
distributions, other than redemptions, with respect to the Shares; provided, however, that no distribution shall be made that violates the Delaware Trust Statute. The aggregate distributions made in a Fiscal Year (other than distributions on
termination, 

  

 22 








 
which shall be allocated in the manner described in Article VIII) shall be allocated among the holders of record of Shares in the ratio in which the number
of Shares held of record by each of them bears to the number of Shares held of record by all of the Shareholders as of the record date of such distribution; provided, further, however, that any distribution made in respect of a Share shall not
exceed the book capital account for such Share. 
  
 SECTION 6.5.
Admissions of Shareholders; Transfers. For purposes of this Article VI, Shareholders shall be deemed admitted, and a tax and book capital account shall be established in respect of the Shares acquired by such Shareholder or in respect of
additional Shares acquired by an existing Shareholder, as of the day when such Shareholder’s Purchase Order or Redemption Order has been fully processed, as the case may be, or in which the transfer of Shares to such Shareholder is recognized.
Any Shareholder to whom a Share had been transferred shall succeed to the tax and book capital accounts attributable to the Share transferred. 
  
 SECTION 6.6. Liability for State and Local and Other Taxes. In the event that the Master Fund shall be separately subject to taxation by any state
or local or by any foreign taxing authority, the Master Fund shall be obligated to pay such taxes to such jurisdiction. In the event that the Master Fund shall be required to make payments to any U.S. federal, state or local or any foreign taxing
authority in respect of any Shareholder’s allocable share of income, the amount of such taxes shall be considered a loan by the Master Fund to such Shareholder, and such Shareholder shall be liable for, and shall pay to the Master Fund, any
taxes so required to be withheld and paid over by the Master Fund within ten (10) days after the Managing Owner’s request therefor. Such Shareholder shall also be liable for (and the Managing Owner shall be entitled to redeem additional Shares
of the foreign Shareholder as necessary to satisfy) interest on the amount of taxes paid over by the Master Fund to the IRS or other taxing authority, from the date of the Managing Owner’s request for payment to the date of payment or the
redemption, as the case may be, at the rate of two percent (2%) over the prime rate charged from time to time by Citibank, N.A. The amount, if any, payable by the Master Fund to the Shareholder in respect of its Shares so redeemed, or in respect of
any other actual distribution by the Master Fund to such Shareholder, shall be reduced by any obligations owed to the Master Fund by the Shareholder, including, without limitation, the amount of any taxes required to be paid over by the Master Fund
to the IRS or other taxing authority and interest thereon as aforesaid. Amounts, if any, deducted by the Master Fund from any actual distribution or redemption payment to such Shareholder shall be treated as an actual distribution to such
Shareholder for all purposes of this Trust Agreement. 
  
 ARTICLE VII 
  
 REDEMPTIONS 
  
 SECTION 7.1. Redemption of Redemption Baskets. The following
procedures, as supplemented by the more detailed procedures agreed from time-to-time between the Managing Owner and the Limited Owner, will govern the Trust with respect to the redemption of Redemption Baskets. 
  
 (a) On any Business Day, a Shareholder may redeem one or
more Redemption Baskets by delivering a request for redemption to the Managing Owner (such request a “Redemption Order”) in accordance with such procedures as the Managing Owner shall from time-to-time determine. 
  
 (b) To be effective, a Redemption Order must be submitted on
a Business Day by the Order Cut-Off Time in form satisfactory to the Managing Owner (the Business Day on which the Redemption Order is so submitted, the “Redemption Order Date”). The Managing Owner shall reject any Redemption Order the
fulfillment of which its counsel advises may be illegal under applicable laws and regulations, and the Managing Owner shall have no liability to any person for rejecting a Redemption Order in such circumstances. 
  
 (c) Subject to deduction of any tax or other governmental
charges due thereon, if any, the redemption distribution (“Redemption Distribution”) shall consist of in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of Redemption Baskets set forth in the relevant Redemption Order
by (ii) the Net Asset Value Per Basket as of the closing time of the Exchange or the last to close of the exchanges on which any of the Index Commodities is traded, whichever is later, on the Redemption Order Date. 
  

 23 








 (d) By noon New York time on the Business Day immediately following the Redemption Order
Date (the “Redemption Settlement Time”), if the Managing Owner’s account at the Depository has by Noon, New York time, on such day been credited with the Redemption Baskets being tendered for redemption and the Managing Owner has by
such time received the Transaction Fee, the Managing Owner shall deliver the Redemption Distribution by means of such procedures as the Managing Owner shall determine from time-to-time. If by such Redemption Settlement Time, the Managing Owner has
not received from a redeeming Shareholder all Redemption Baskets comprising the Redemption Order, the Managing Owner will (i) settle the Redemption Order to the extent of whole Redemption Baskets received from the Shareholder and (ii) keep the
Shareholder’s Redemption Order open until Noon, New York time, on the first Business Day following the Redemption Settlement Date as to the balance of the Redemption Order (such balance, the “Suspended Redemption Order”). If the
Redemption Basket(s) comprising the Suspended Redemption Order are credited to Managing Owner’s account by Noon, New York time, on such following Business Day, the Redemption Distribution with respect to the Suspended Redemption Order shall be
paid in the manner provided in the second preceding sentence. If by such Redemption Settlement Time, the Managing Owner has not received from the redeeming Shareholder all Redemption Baskets comprising the Suspended Redemption Order, the Managing
Owner will settle the Suspended Redemption Order to the extent of whole Redemption Baskets then received and any balance of the Suspended Redemption will be cancelled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when and under such conditions as the Managing
Owner may from time to time determine, the Managing Owner shall be authorized to deliver the Redemption Distribution notwithstanding that a Redemption Basket has not been credited to the Trust’s account if the Shareholder has collateralized its
obligation to deliver the Redemption Basket on such terms as the Managing Owner may, in its sole discretion, from time to time agree. 
  
 (e) The Managing Owner may, in its discretion, suspend the right of redemption, or postpone the Redemption Settlement Date, (i) for any
period during which the Exchange is closed other than customary weekend and holiday closings, or trading is suspended or restricted; (ii) for any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which delivery, disposal or evaluation of the
Master Fund’s assets is not reasonably practicable, or (iii) for such other period as the Managing Owner determines to be necessary for the protection of the Limited Owner. The Managing Owner will not be liable to any person or in any way for
any loss or damages that may result from any such suspension or postponement. 
  
 (f) Redemption Baskets effectively redeemed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.1 shall be cancelled. 
  
 (g) Baskets may not be redeemed during the Initial Offering Period. 
  
 SECTION 7.2. Other Redemption Procedures. The Managing Owner from time to time may, but shall have no obligation to,
establish procedures with respect to redemption of Limited Shares in lot sizes smaller than the Redemption Basket and permitting the Redemption Distribution to be in a form, and delivered in a manner, other than that specified in Section 7.1.

 SECTION 8.3. Limitation on Liability. 
  
 (a) Except as provided in Sections 4.7(f), 5.2(h) and 6.6
hereof, and as otherwise provided under Delaware law, the Limited Owner shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized under the general corporation law of
Delaware and no Limited Owner shall be liable for claims against, or debts of the Master Fund in excess of his Capital Contribution and his share of the applicable Master Fund Estate and undistributed profits, except in the event that the liability
is founded upon misstatements or omissions contained in such Limited Owner’s Feeder Fund Participant Agreement delivered in connection with his purchase of Shares. In addition, and subject to the exceptions set forth in the immediately
preceding sentence, the Master Fund shall not make a claim against a Limited Owner with respect to amounts distributed to such Limited Owner or amounts received by such Limited Owner upon redemption unless, under Delaware law, such Limited Owner is
liable to repay such amount. 
  
 (b) The Master
Fund shall indemnify to the full extent permitted by law and the other provisions of this Trust Agreement, and to the extent of the applicable Master Fund Estate, each Limited Owner (excluding the Managing Owner to the extent of its ownership of any
Limited Shares) against any claims of liability asserted against such Limited Owner solely because he is a beneficial owner of Shares as a Limited Owner (other than for taxes for which such Limited Owner is liable under Section 6.6 hereof).

  
 (c) Every written note, bond, contract,
instrument, certificate or undertaking made or issued by the Managing Owner shall give notice to the effect that the same was executed or made by or on behalf of the Master Fund and that the obligations of such instrument are not binding upon the

 25 








 
appropriate references may be made to this Trust Agreement and may contain any further recital which the Managing Owner deems appropriate, but the omission
thereof shall not operate to bind the Limited Owner individually or otherwise invalidate any such note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or undertaking. Nothing contained in this Section 8.3 shall diminish the limitation on the liability of
the Master Fund to the extent set forth in Section 3.3 and 3.4 hereof.

 SECTION 11.1. Amendments to the Trust
Agreement. 
  
 (a) Amendments to this Trust
Agreement may be proposed by the Managing Owner or by the Limited Owner holding Shares equal to at least 10% of the Net Asset Value of the Master Fund. Following such proposal, the Managing Owner shall submit to the Limited Owner a verbatim
statement of any proposed amendment, and statements concerning the legality of such amendment and the effect of such amendment on the limited liability of the Limited Owner. The Managing Owner shall include in any such submission its recommendations
as to the proposed amendment. The amendment shall become effective only upon the written approval or affirmative vote of the Limited Owner, and upon receipt of an opinion of independent legal counsel as set forth in Section 8.2 hereof and to the
effect that the amendment is legal, valid and binding and will not adversely affect the limitations on liability of the Limited Owner as described in Section 8.3 of this Trust Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where any action taken or
authorized pursuant to any provision of this Trust Agreement requires the approval or affirmative vote of the Limited Owner, and/or the approval or affirmative vote of the Managing Owners, an amendment to such provision(s) shall be effective only
upon the written approval or affirmative vote of the Shareholders required to take or authorize such action, or as may otherwise be required by applicable law, and upon receipt of an opinion of independent legal counsel as set forth above in this
Section 11.1. In addition, except as otherwise provided below, reduction of the capital account of any assignee or modification of the percentage of Profits, Losses or distributions to which an assignee is entitled hereunder shall not be affected by
amendment to this Trust Agreement without such assignee’s approval. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in Section 11.1(a) hereof, the Managing Owner may, without the approval of the Limited Owner, make such amendments to this Trust Agreement which (i) are
necessary to add to the representations, duties or obligations of the Managing Owner or surrender any right or power granted to the Managing Owner herein, for the benefit of the Limited Owner, (ii) are necessary to cure any ambiguity, to correct or
supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein or in the Prospectus, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Trust Agreement or the Prospectus which will not
be inconsistent with the provisions of the Trust Agreement or the Prospectus, or (iii) the Managing Owner deems advisable, provided, however, that no amendment shall be adopted pursuant to this clause (iii) unless the adoption thereof (A) is not
adverse to the interests of the Limited Owner; (B) is consistent with Section 4.1 hereof; (C) except as otherwise provided in Section 11.1(c) below, does not affect the allocation of Profits and Losses among the Limited Owner or between the Limited
Owner and the Managing Owner; and 

  

 27 








 
(D) does not adversely affect the limitations on liability of the Limited Owner, as described in Article VIII hereof or the status of the Master Fund as a
partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. (i) Amendments to this document which adversely affect the rights of Limited Owner, (ii) the appointment of a new Managing Owner pursuant to Section 4.2(g) above, (iii) the dissolution of the Master
Fund pursuant to Section 13.1(f) below and (iv) any material changes in the Master Fund’s basic investment policies or structure shall occur only upon the written approval or affirmative vote of the Limited Owner holding Shares equal to at
least a majority (over 50%) of the Net Asset Value of the Master Fund (excluding Shares held by the Managing Owner and its Affiliates) pursuant to Section 11.1(a) above. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in Sections 11.1(a) and (b) hereof, the Managing
Owner may, without the approval of the Limited Owner, amend the provisions of Article VI of this Trust Agreement relating to the allocations of Profits, Losses, Disposition Gain, Disposition Loss and distributions among the Shareholders if the
Master Fund is advised at any time by the Master Fund’s accountants or legal counsel that the allocations provided in Article VI of this Trust Agreement are unlikely to be respected for U.S. federal income tax purposes, either because of the
promulgation of new or revised Treasury Regulations under Section 704 of the Code or other developments in the law. The Managing Owner is empowered to amend such provisions to the minimum extent necessary in accordance with the advice of the
accountants and counsel to effect the allocations and distributions provided in this Trust Agreement. New allocations made by the Managing Owner in reliance upon the advice of the accountants or counsel described above shall be deemed to be made
pursuant to the obligation of the Managing Owner to the Master Fund and the Limited Owner, and no such new allocation shall give rise to any claim or cause of action by the Limited Owner. 
  
 (d) Upon amendment of this Trust Agreement, the Certificate
of Trust shall also be amended, if required by the Delaware Trust Statute, to reflect such change. 
  
 (e) No amendment shall be made to this Trust Agreement without the consent of the Trustee if it reasonably believes that such amendment
adversely affects any of the rights, duties or liabilities of the Trustee; provided, however, that the Trustee may not withhold its consent for any action which the Limited Owner is permitted to take under Section 8.2(d) above. At the expense of the
Managing Owner, the Trustee shall execute and file any amendment to the Certificate of Trust if so directed by the Managing Owner or if such amendment is required in the opinion of the Trustee. 
  
 (f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to execute any
amendment to the Trust Agreement or to any agreement to which the Master Fund is a party until it has received an instruction letter from the Managing Owner, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (i) directing the Trustee to
execute such amendment, (ii) representing and warranting to the Trustee that such execution is authorized and permitted by the terms of the Trust Agreement and (if applicable) such other agreement to which the Master Fund is a party and does not
conflict with or violate any other agreement to which the Master Fund is a party and (iii) confirming that such execution and acts related thereto are covered by the indemnity provisions of the Trust Agreement in favor of the Trustee. 
  
 (g) No provision of this Trust Agreement may be amended,
waived or otherwise modified orally but only by a written instrument adopted in accordance with this Section. 
  
 SECTION 11.2. Meetings of the Master Fund. Meetings of the Shareholders of the Master Fund may be called by the Managing Owner and will be called
by it upon the written request of the Limited Owner. Such call for a meeting shall be deemed to have been made upon the receipt by the Managing Owner of a written request from the requisite percentage of Limited Owners. The Managing Owner shall
deposit in the United States mails, within 15 days after receipt of said request, written notice to all Shareholders of the Master Fund of the meeting and the purpose of the meeting, which shall be held on a date, not less than 30 nor more than 60
days after the date of mailing of said notice, at a reasonable time and place. Any notice of meeting shall be accompanied by a description of the action to be taken at the meeting and an opinion of independent counsel as to the effect of such
proposed action on the liability of Limited Owner for the debts of the Master Fund. Shareholders may vote in person or by proxy at any such meeting. 
  

 28 








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

 SECTION 13.1. Events Requiring Dissolution of the Master Fund or any Series. The Master Fund shall dissolve at any time upon the happening of any of the following events: 
  
 (a) The filing of a certificate of dissolution or revocation of the Managing Owner’s charter (and the
expiration of 90 days after the date of notice to the Managing Owner of revocation without a reinstatement of its charter) or upon the withdrawal, removal, adjudication or admission of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Managing Owner (each of the
foregoing events an “Event of Withdrawal”) unless at the time there is at least one remaining Managing Owner and that remaining Managing Owner carries on the business of the Master Fund or (ii) within 90 days of such Event of Withdrawal
all the remaining Shareholders agree in writing to continue the business of the Master Fund and to select, effective as of the date of such event, one or more successor Managing Owners. If the Master Fund is terminated as the result of an Event of
Withdrawal and a failure of all remaining Shareholders to continue the business of the Master Fund and to appoint a successor Managing Owner as provided in clause (a)(ii) above, within 120 days of such Event of Withdrawal, the Limited Owner may
elect to continue the business of the Master Fund by forming a new statutory trust (the “Reconstituted Master Fund”) on the same terms and provisions as set forth in this Trust Agreement (whereupon the parties hereto shall execute and
deliver any documents or instruments as may be necessary to reform the Master Fund). Any such election must also provide for the election of a Managing Owner to the Reconstituted Master Fund. If such an election is made, the Limited Owner of the
Master Fund shall be bound thereby and continue as the Limited Owner of the Reconstituted Master Fund. 
  
 (b) The occurrence of any event which would make unlawful the continued existence of the Master Fund. 
  
 (c) In the event of the suspension, revocation or
termination of the Managing Owner’s registration as a commodity pool operator or commodity trading advisor under the CE Act, or membership as a commodity pool operator or commodity trading advisor with the NFA unless at the time there is at

 (d) The Master Fund becomes insolvent or bankrupt. 
  
 (e) The Limited Owner determines to dissolve the Master
Fund, notice of which is sent to the Managing Owner not less than ninety (90) Business Days prior to the effective date of termination. 
  
 (f) The determination of the Managing Owner that the aggregate net assets of the Master Fund in relation to the operating expenses of the
Master Fund make it unreasonable or imprudent to continue the business of the Master Fund, or, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, the determination by the Managing Owner to dissolve the Master Fund because the aggregate Net Asset Value of
the Master Fund as of the close of business on any Business Day declines below $10 million. 
  
 (g) The Master Fund is required to be registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. 
  
 (h) DTC is unable or unwilling to continue to perform its
functions, and a comparable replacement is unavailable. 
  
 The
death, legal disability, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, or withdrawal of the Limited Owner shall not result in the termination of the Master Fund, and such Limited Owner, his estate, custodian or personal representative shall have no right to
withdraw or value such Limited Owner’s Shares except as provided in Section 7.1 hereof. 
  
 SECTION 13.2. Distributions on Dissolution. Upon the dissolution of the Master Fund, the Managing Owner (or in the event there is no Managing Owner, such person (the “Liquidating Trustee”) as the
Limited Owner may propose and approve) shall take full charge of the Master Fund Estate. Any Liquidating Trustee so appointed shall have and may exercise, without further authorization or approval of any of the parties hereto, all of the powers
conferred upon the Managing Owner under the terms of this Trust Agreement, subject to all of the applicable limitations, contractual and otherwise, upon the exercise of such powers, and provided that the Liquidating Trustee shall not have general
liability for the acts, omissions, obligations and expenses of the Master Fund. Thereafter, in accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Delaware Trust Statute the business and affairs of the Master Fund shall be wound up and all assets shall be
liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom shall be applied and distributed in the following order of priority: to the expenses of liquidation and termination and to creditors, including
Shareholders who are creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by law, in satisfaction of liabilities of the Master Fund (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof) other than liabilities for distributions to
Shareholders, and (b) to the Managing Owner and the Limited Owner pro rata in accordance with his positive book capital account balance, less any amount owing by such Shareholder to the Master Fund, after giving effect to all adjustments made
pursuant to Article VI and all distributions theretofore made to the Shareholders pursuant to Article VI. After the distribution of all remaining assets of the Master Fund, the Managing Owner will contribute to the Master Fund an amount equal to the
lesser of (i) the deficit balance, if any, in its book capital account, and (ii) the total Capital Contributions of the Limited Owner. Any Capital Contributions made by the Managing Owner pursuant to this Section shall be applied first to satisfy
any amounts then owed by the Master Fund to its creditors, and the balance, if any, shall be distributed to those Shareholders whose book capital account balances (immediately following the distribution of any liquidation proceeds) were positive, in
proportion to their respective positive book capital account balances. 
  
 SECTION 13.3. Termination; Certificate of Cancellation. Following the dissolution and distribution of the assets of the Master Fund, the Master Fund shall terminate and Managing Owner or Liquidating Trustee, as the case may be, shall
instruct the Trustee to execute and cause such certificate of cancellation of the Certificate of Trust to be filed in accordance with the Delaware Trust Statute. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Trust Agreement, the
existence of the Master Fund as a separate legal entity shall continue until the filing of such certificate of cancellation.

 POWER OF ATTORNEY 
  
 SECTION 14.1. Power of Attorney Executed Concurrently. Concurrently with the written acceptance and adoption of the provisions of this Trust
Agreement, the Limited Owner shall execute and deliver to the Managing Owner a Power of Attorney as part of the Feeder Fund Participant Agreement, or in such other form as may be prescribed by the Managing Owner. The Limited Owner, by its execution
and delivery hereof, irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Managing Owner and its officers and directors, with full power of substitution, as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent for the Limited Owner with full power and authority to
act in his name and on his behalf in the execution, acknowledgment, filing and publishing of Master Fund documents, including, but not limited to, the following: 
  
 (a) Any certificates and other instruments, including but not limited to, any applications for authority to
do business and amendments thereto, which the Managing Owner deems appropriate to qualify or continue the Master Fund as a business Master Fund in the jurisdictions in which the Master Fund may conduct business, so long as such qualifications and
continuations are in accordance with the terms of this Trust Agreement or any amendment hereto, or which may be required to be filed by the Master Fund or the Shareholders under the laws of any jurisdiction; 
  
 (b) Any instrument which may be required to be filed by the
Master Fund under the laws of any state or by any governmental agency, or which the Managing Owner deems advisable to file; and

of the Trust Agreement, and the continuation of the Master Fund, the admission of the signer of the Power of Attorney as a Limited Owner or of others as additional or substituted Limited Owner, or the termination of the Master Fund, provided such
continuation, admission or termination is in accordance with the terms of this Trust Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 14.2. Effect of Power of Attorney. The Power of Attorney concurrently granted by the Limited Owner to the Managing Owner: 
  
 (a) Is a special, irrevocable Power of Attorney coupled with
an interest, and shall survive and not be affected by the death, disability, dissolution, liquidation, termination or incapacity of the Limited Owner; 
  
 (b) May be exercised by the Managing Owner for the Limited Owner by a facsimile signature of one of its officers or by a single signature
of one of its officers acting as attorney-in-fact for all of them; and 
  
 (c) Shall survive the delivery of an assignment by the Limited Owner of the whole or any portion of his Limited Shares; except that where the assignee thereof has been approved by the Managing Owner for admission to
the Master Fund as a substituted Limited Owner, the Power of Attorney of the assignor shall survive the delivery of such assignment for the sole purpose of enabling the Managing Owner to execute, acknowledge and file any instrument necessary to
effect such substitution. 
  
 The Limited Owner agrees to be bound
by any representations made by the Managing Owner and by any successor thereto, determined to be acting in good faith pursuant to such Power of Attorney and not constituting negligence or misconduct. 
  
 SECTION 14.3. Limitation on Power of Attorney. The Power of Attorney
concurrently granted by the Limited Owner to the Managing Owner shall not authorize the Managing Owner to act on behalf of the Limited Owner in any situation in which this Trust Agreement requires the approval of the Limited Owner unless such
approval has been obtained as required by this Trust Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Trust Agreement and any instruments filed by the Managing Owner or any new Managing Owner pursuant to this Power of Attorney, this Trust
Agreement shall control.

State of Delaware, and the rights of all parties hereto and the effect of every provision hereof shall be subject to and construed according to the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof; provided,
however, that causes of action for violations of U.S. federal or state securities laws shall not be governed by this Section, and provided, further, that the parties hereto intend that the provisions hereof shall control over any contrary or
limiting statutory or common law of the State of Delaware (other than the Delaware Trust Statute) and that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, there shall not be applicable to the Master Fund, the Trustee, the Managing Owner, the

 EXHIBIT B 
  

DESCRIPTION OF THE 
 DEUTSCHE BANK
LIQUID COMMODITY INDEXTM 
  
 DBLCITM and Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity IndexTM are Trade Marks of Deutsche Bank AG and are the subject of Community Trade Mark
Application Nos. 3055043 and 3054996. Trade Mark applications in the USA are pending. Any use of these marks must be with the consent of or under licence from the Index Sponsor (as defined below). 
  
 1. GENERAL 
  
 The Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index (the “DBLCI”) is intended to reflect the performance of certain
commodities. The commodities comprising the DBLCI are Crude Oil, Heating Oil, Aluminium, Gold, Corn and Wheat (each an “Index Commodity”) and the notional amounts of each Index Commodity included in the DBLCI are broadly in
proportion to historical levels of the world’s production and stocks of the Index Commodities. The sponsor of the DBLCI (the “Index Sponsor”) is Deutsche Bank AG London. 
  
 A closing level for the DBLCI will be calculated by the Index Sponsor on an
“excess return” basis (see paragraph 3 (Excess Return Calculation) below). The Closing Level will be published by the Index Sponsor (see paragraph 14 (Publication of Closing Levels and Adjustments) below) as soon as reasonably practicable
after the Index Valuation Time (as defined below) on each Index Business Day, subject as provided in paragraph 11 (Force Majeure) below. The Closing Levels are quoted in U.S. Dollars. 
  
 Unless otherwise defined, terms used in this Description of the DBLCI will have the meanings given them in paragraph 4
(Closing Prices), paragraph 5 (Exchange Instruments), paragraph 6 (ER Calculation Values), paragraph 7 (Recomposition Periods) or paragraph 8 (Rebalancing Periods), as the case may be, below. 
  
 For the purposes of this Description: 
  
 “Aluminium” means high grade primary Aluminium.

  
 “Crude Oil” means West Texas Intermediate
light sweet crude oil. 
  
 “Heating Oil” means
New York Harbour no. 2 heating oil. 
  
 “Index Business
Day” means a day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in New York
City. 
  
 “Index Valuation Time” means 11.00 pm
(London time) on each Index Business Day or, if the publication time of any Closing Price is amended, such other time as the Index Sponsor may determine and announce to be the Index Valuation Time for the DBLCI. 
  
 2. INDEX COMPOSITION 
  
 The DBLCI is composed of notional amounts of each of the Index Commodities. The ER Closing Level (as defined below) is
calculated by the Index Sponsor based on the closing price of the futures contract for each of the Index Commodities and the relevant notional amount of such Index Commodity. The DBLCI includes provisions for the replacement of futures contracts as
they approach maturity. Subject as provided in the definition of “Recomposition Period” and “Rebalancing Period”, this replacement takes place over a period in order to lessen the impact on the market for futures contracts.
Recomposition occurs monthly (other than in November) during a Recomposition Period in the case of futures contracts relating to Crude Oil and Heating Oil. Rebalancing occurs annually in November during a Rebalancing Period in the case of Exchange
Traded Instruments relating to all Index Commodities, including Crude Oil and Heating Oil. Replacement of futures contract for Aluminum, Gold, Corn and Wheat occurs when DBLCI is annually rebalanced. 







 The DBLCI is balanced during the Rebalancing Period to rebalance its composition to the Index Base
Weights. 
  
 The composition of the DBLCI may be adjusted in the
event of an Index Disruption Event occurring (see paragraph 11 ( Index Disruption Event) below). 
  
 The DBLCI has been calculated back to a Base Date (the “Base Date”) of 1st December, 1988. On the Base Date the ER Closing Level was 100.

  
 3. EXCESS RETURN CALCULATION 
  
 The closing level of the DBLCI calculated on an “excess return”
basis (the “ER Closing Level”) on each Index Business Day is calculated by the Index Sponsor as the sum of the ER Calculation Values for each Index Commodity for such Index Business Day and rounding the result to six decimal places
with 0.0000005 being rounded upwards. 
  
 The ER Calculation Value
in respect of each Index Commodity on an Index Business Day is determined (a) as provided in paragraph 6 (ER Calculation Values) or (b) in the case of Crude Oil and Heating Oil, where the relevant Index Business Day falls during a Recomposition
Period, as provided in paragraph 7 (Recomposition Periods) or (c) where the relevant Index Business Day falls during a Rebalancing Period, as provided in paragraph 8 (Rebalancing Periods). In each case, the relevant Closing Prices in respect of the
Index Commodities are determined as provided in paragraph 4 (Closing Prices) and the relevant Exchange Instruments to which the Closing Prices relate are determined as provided in paragraph 5 (Exchange Instruments).

 (a) in respect of each Index Business Day in a Rebalancing
Period (other than a Rebalancing Extension Date) the sum of the values calculated for each Index Commodity (but excluding any Index Commodity for which such Index Business Day is not a Valid Date) as the product (the “Rebalanced
Existing Instrument Value” for such Index Business Day) of (i) the Existing Instrument Amount for such Index Commodity for the Index Business Day immediately preceding such Index Business Day and (ii) the Closing Price for such Index
Commodity for such Index Business Day; 
  
 expressed as a formula:

 “Rebalancing Period” means each period (from and including)
the second Index Business Day in the month of November to (and including) the sixth Index Business Day in such month Provided That if in respect of any Index Commodity (each a “Disrupted Rebalancing Index Commodity”) the last Index
Business Day of a Rebalancing Period is not a Valid Date, the Rebalancing Period for such Disrupted Rebalancing Index Commodity only, subject to paragraph 10 (Index Disruption Event), shall be extended to and including the next occurring Valid Date
(the “Rebalancing Extension Date”) for such Disrupted Rebalancing Index Commodity. In the event that a Rebalancing Period in respect of an Index Commodity is extended as provided above, the Existing Instrument Amount and the New
Instrument Percentage for such Index Commodity for the Rebalancing Extension Date shall be zero and 100 per cent, respectively. 
  
 9. CORRECTIONS TO CLOSING PRICES FOR EXCHANGE INSTRUMENTS 
  
 In calculating the Closing Levels, the Index Sponsor shall have regard to subsequent corrections to any Closing Price published by the relevant Exchange
prior to the Index Valuation Time on the Valid Date for the relevant Index Commodity immediately following the Index Business Day to which the relevant Closing Level relates but not thereafter. 
  

 10 








 10. INDEX DISRUPTION EVENT 
  
 If an Index Disruption Event in relation to an Index Commodity or a related Exchange Instrument continues for a period of
five successive Exchange Business Days, the Index Sponsor will, in its discretion, either (i) continue to calculate the relevant Closing Price by reference to the closing price of the relevant Exchange Instrument on the immediately preceding Valid
Date (as provided in the definition of the relevant Closing Price) for a further period of five successive Exchange Business Days or (ii) select: 
  
 (a) an Exchange Traded Instrument relating to the relevant Index Commodity or in the determination of the Index Sponsor a commodity
substantially similar to the relevant Index Commodity published in U.S. Dollars; or 
  
 (b) if no Exchange Traded Instrument as described in (a) above is available or the Index Sponsor determines that for any reason
(including, without limitation, the liquidity or volatility of such Exchange Traded Instrument at the relevant time) the inclusion of such Exchange Traded Instrument in the DBLCI would not be appropriate, an Exchange Traded Instrument relating to
the relevant Index Commodity or in the determination of the Index Sponsor a commodity substantially similar to the relevant Index Commodity published in a currency other than U.S. Dollars; or 
  
 (c) if no such Exchange Traded Instrument as described in
(a) or (b) above is available or the Index Sponsor determines that for any reason (including, without limitation, the liquidity or volatility of such Exchange Traded Instrument at the relevant time) the inclusion of such Exchange Traded Instrument
would not be appropriate, an Exchange Traded Instrument relating to any commodity in the same Group of Commodities as the relevant Index Commodity which is published in U.S. Dollars, 
  
 in each case to replace the Exchange Instrument relating to the relevant Index Commodity, all as determined by the Index Sponsor.

  
 In the case of (i) above, if an Index Disruption Event in
relation to the relevant Index Commodity or Exchange Instrument continues for the further period of five successive Exchange Business Days referred to therein, on the expiry of such period the provisions of (ii) above shall apply. 
  
 In the case of a replacement of an Exchange Traded Instrument as described in
(ii) above, the Index Sponsor will make such adjustments to the methodology and calculation of the DBLCI as it determines to be appropriate to account for the relevant replacement and will publish such adjustments in accordance with paragraph 15
(Publication of Closing Levels and Adjustments) below. 
  
 For the
purposes of this Description: 
  
 “Group of
Commodities” means each of oils, non-precious metals, precious metals and agricultural products. For the avoidance of doubt, Crude Oil and Heating Oil are oils, Aluminium is a non-precious metal, Gold is a precious metal and Corn and Wheat
are agricultural products. 
  
 “Index Disruption
Event” means, in respect of an Index Commodity or a related Exchange Instrument, an event (other than a Force Majeure Event) that would require the Index Sponsor to calculate the Closing Price in respect of the relevant Index Commodity on
an alternative basis were such event to occur or exist on a day that is an Exchange Business Day (or, if different, the day on which the Closing Price for such Exchange Instrument for the relevant Index Business Day would, in the ordinary course, be
published or announced by the relevant Exchange). 
  
 11. FORCE MAJEURE

  
 If a Force Majeure Event occurs on an Index Business Day,
the Index Sponsor may in its discretion: 
  
 (i)
make such determinations and/or adjustments to the terms of this Description of the DBLCI as it considers appropriate to determine any Closing Level on any such Index Business Day; and/or 
  

 11 








 (ii) defer publication of the information relating to the DBLCI, as described in
paragraph 1 (General) above, until the next Index Business Day on which it determines that no Force Majeure Event exists; and/or 
  
 (iii) permanently cancel publication of the information relating to the DBLCI described in paragraph 1 (General) above. 
  
 For the purposes of this Description: 
  
 “Force Majeure Event” means an event or circumstance
(including, without limitation, a systems failure, natural or man-made disaster, act of God, armed conflict, act of terrorism, riot or labour disruption or any similar intervening circumstance) that is beyond the reasonable control of the Index
Sponsor and that the Index Sponsor determines affects the DBLCI, any Index Commodity or any Exchange Instrument. 
  
 12. INDEX SPONSOR 
  
 All determinations made by the Index Sponsor will be made by it in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner by reference to such factors as the
Index Sponsor deems appropriate and will be final, conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. 
  
 13. CHANGE IN THE METHODOLOGY OF THE DBLCI 
  
 The Index Sponsor will, subject as provided below, employ the methodology described above and its application of such methodology shall be conclusive and binding. While the Index Sponsor currently employs the above
described methodology to calculate the DBLCI, no assurance can be given that fiscal, market, regulatory, juridical or financial circumstances (including, but not limited to, any changes to or any suspension or termination of or any other events
affecting any Index Commodity or a futures contract) will not arise that would, in the view of the Index Sponsor, necessitate a modification of or change to such methodology and in such circumstances the Index Sponsor may make any such modification
or change as it determines appropriate. The Index Sponsor may also make modifications to the terms of the DBLCI in any manner that it may deem necessary or desirable, including (without limitation) to correct any manifest or proven error or to cure,
correct or supplement any defective provision contained in this Description of the DBLCI. The Index Sponsor will publish notice of any such modification or change and the effective date thereof in accordance with paragraph 14 (Publication of Closing
Levels and Adjustments) below. 
  
 14. PUBLICATION OF CLOSING LEVELS AND
ADJUSTMENTS 
  
 The Index Sponsor will publish the ER Closing
Level and the intra-day indicative Index level for each Index Business Day as soon as practicable after the Index Valuation Time on Reuters Page DBLCI, Bloomberg under the symbol DBLMCL ‹Index› or any successor thereto and on its website
http://gm-secure.db.com/CommoditiesIndices, or any successor thereto. The ER Closing Level and the intra-day indicative Index level for each Index Business Day will also be available under the Amex symbol “DBLCIX.” 
  
 The Index Sponsor will publish any adjustments made to the DBLCI on its
website http://gm-secure.db.com/CommoditiesIndices or any successor thereto. 
  
 15. HISTORICAL CLOSING LEVELS 
  
 Set out below
are certain Closing Levels back-calculated to the Base Date. 
  
 All historical calculations are based on information obtained from the following publicly available source(s): Logical Information Machines (http://www.lim.com), Bloomberg, and Reuters. The actual sources of
