and in accordance with this Agreement has been made in the Interest Account by
the Sponsor on the date hereof in exchange for one Share. The Sponsor is
purchasing the initial Share solely for the purpose of forming the Trust. The
Sponsor will redeem the initial Share for 100 Euro as promptly as practicable
after the Form S-1 registration statement filed with the Commission with respect
to the Shares is declared effective by the Commission and the Initial Purchaser,
as defined in the registration statement, deposits Euro in accordance with the
registration statement.

all other Trust Property as trustee for the benefit of the Registered Owners for
the purposes of, and subject to and limited by the terms and conditions set
forth in, this Agreement. The trust created by this Agreement shall be known as
the "Euro Currency Trust".

          (c) The Trust shall not engage in any business or activities other
than those authorized by this Agreement or incidental and necessary to carry out
the duties and responsibilities set forth in this Agreement. Other than issuance
of the Shares, the Trust shall not issue or sell any certificates or other
obligations or, except as provided in this Agreement, otherwise incur, assume or
guarantee any indebtedness for money borrowed.

                                        9

          Section 2.2 Form of Certificates; Book-Entry System; Transferability
of Shares.

          (a) The Certificates evidencing Shares shall be substantially in the
form set forth in Exhibit B annexed to this Agreement, with appropriate
insertions, modifications and omissions, as hereinafter provided. No Shares
shall be entitled to any benefits under this Agreement or be valid or obligatory
for any purpose unless a Certificate evidencing those Shares has been executed
by the Trustee by the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized
signatory of the Trustee and, if a Registrar (other than the Trustee) for the
Shares shall have been appointed, countersigned by the manual signature of a
duly authorized officer of the Registrar. The Trustee shall maintain books on
which the registered ownership of each Share and transfers, if any, of such
registered ownership shall be recorded. Certificates evidencing Shares bearing
the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized signatory of the Trustee
and the manual signature of a duly authorized officer of the Registrar, if
applicable, who was, at the time such Certificates were executed, a proper
signatory of the Trustee or Registrar, if applicable, shall bind the Trustee,
notwithstanding that such signatory has ceased to hold such office prior to the
delivery of such Certificates.

          (b) The Certificates may be endorsed with or have incorporated in the
text thereof such legends or recitals or modifications not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement as may be required by the Trustee or required to
comply with any applicable law or regulations thereunder or with the rules and
regulations of the Exchange or to conform with any usage with respect thereto,
or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which the Shares
evidenced by a particular Certificate are subject.

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

                                       10

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

          (d) So long as the Shares are eligible for book-entry settlement with
DTC and such settlement is available, unless otherwise required by law,
notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.2(a) and Section 2.2(b), all Shares
shall be evidenced by one or more global Certificates the Registered Owner of
which is DTC or a nominee of DTC and (i) no Beneficial Owner of Shares will be
entitled to receive a separate Certificate evidencing those Shares, (ii) the
interest of a Beneficial Owner in Shares represented by a global Certificate
will be shown only on, and transfer of that interest will be effected only
through, records maintained by DTC or a DTC Participant or Indirect Participant
through which the Beneficial Owner holds that interest and (iii) the rights of a
Beneficial Owner with respect to Shares represented by a global Certificate will
be exercised only to the extent allowed by, and in compliance with, the
arrangements in effect between such Beneficial Owner and DTC or the DTC
Participant or Indirect Participant through which that Beneficial Owner holds an
interest in Shares.

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

                                       11

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

          Section 2.3 Deposit of Euro.

          (a) After the initial deposit of Euro in the Trust, the issuance and
Delivery of Shares will take place only in integral numbers of Baskets and in
compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, as supplemented by any
procedures attached to an applicable Authorized Participant Agreement, to the
extent those procedures are consistent with this Agreement. Authorized
Participants wishing to acquire from the Trustee one or more Baskets must place
an order with the Trustee (a "Purchase Order"). Purchase Orders received by the
Trustee prior to the Order Cutoff Time on a New York Business Day will have that
day as the Order Date. Purchase Orders received on a day that is not a New York
Business Day or received after the Order Cutoff Time on a New York Business Day
will have the next following New York Business Day as the Order Date. The
"Settlement Date" for a Purchase Order shall be the third New York Business Day
following the Order Date unless that day is not a London Business Day, in which
case the Settlement Date shall be the next following day that is both a New York
Business Day and a London Business Day. As consideration for each Basket
acquired, Authorized Participants must deposit with the Depository the Basket
Euro Amount determined by the Trustee on the Business Day prior to the
Settlement Date for the corresponding Purchase Order. The Basket Euro Amount
shall be deposited in the Interest Account; provided, however, that the Trustee
shall withdraw from the Interest Account and deposit in the Non-Interest Account
an amount which represents a pro rata share of accrued but unpaid interest
pursuant to Section 6.5.

                                       12

          (b) The Trustee shall determine the Basket Euro Amount for each New
York Business Day. The initial "Basket Euro Amount" is 5,000,000 Euro. After the
initial deposit, the "Basket Euro Amount" shall be an amount of Euro equal to
the quotient obtained by dividing the NAV per Basket on the date on which the
determination is being made by the Relevant Price on such date. For purposes of
this computation, "NAV per Basket" is the product obtained by multiplying (x)
the NAV per Share determined in compliance with Section 4.1, by (y) the number
of Shares which constitute a Basket on the date on which the determination is
being made. Fractions of a Euro smaller than .001 shall be disregarded. The
Sponsor intends to publish, or may designate other persons to publish, for each
New York Business Day, the Basket Euro Amount.

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

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

          Section 2.4 Delivery of Shares.

          Upon receipt by the Trustee of any deposit in accordance with Section
2.3, together with a Purchase Order and the other documents required under this
Agreement, if any, and a confirmation from the Depository that the Euro Deposit
Amount has been Delivered to the Depository for each Basket of Shares and the
Depository is holding that Euro for the account of the Trust, the Trustee,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall Deliver to the
Depositor the number of Baskets of Shares issuable in respect of such deposit as
requested in the corresponding Purchase Order, but only upon payment to the
Trustee of the fees and expenses of the Trustee as provided in Section 6.7

                                       13

and of all taxes and governmental charges and fees payable in connection with
such deposit, the transfer of the Euro and the issuance and Delivery of the
Shares.

          Section 2.5 Registration and Registration of Transfer of Shares;
Combination and Split-up of Certificates.

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

          (b) The Trustee, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, shall register transfers of ownership of Shares on its transfer books
from time to time, upon any Surrender of a Certificate evidencing such Shares,
by the Registered Owner in person or by a duly authorized attorney, properly
endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer, and duly stamped as
may be required by the laws of the State of New York and of the United States of
America. Thereupon the Trustee shall execute a new Certificate or Certificates
evidencing such Shares, and deliver the same to or upon the order of the Person
entitled thereto.

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

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

                                       14

          Section 2.6 Surrender of Shares and Withdrawal of Trust Property.

     Upon Surrender of any integral number of Baskets for the purpose of
withdrawal of the amount of Trust Property represented thereby, and upon payment
of the fee of the Trustee in connection with the Surrender of Shares as provided
in Section 6.7 and payment of all taxes and charges payable in connection with
such Surrender and withdrawal of Trust Property, and subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, an Authorized Participant acting on authority of
the Registered Owner of those Shares will be entitled to Delivery, in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement, as supplemented by any procedures
attached to an applicable Authorized Participant Agreement, to the extent those
procedures are consistent with this Agreement, of the amount of Trust Property
at the time represented by such Baskets, including the Basket Euro Amounts
corresponding to such Baskets for the New York Business Day prior to the
Settlement Date (as defined below), but excluding from those Basket Euro Amounts
any portion that represents the value of Trust Property that is not held as
Euro. Authorized Participants wishing to redeem one or more Baskets must place
an order with the Trustee (a "Redemption Order"). Redemption Orders received by
the Trustee prior to the Order Cutoff Time on a New York Business Day will have
that day as the Order Date. Redemption Orders received by the Trustee after the
Order Cutoff Time on a New York Business Day or on a day that is not a New York
Business Day will have the next New York Business Day as the Order Date. The
"Settlement Date" for a Redemption Order shall be the third New York Business
Day following the Order Date unless that day is not a London Business Day, in
which case the Settlement Date shall be the next following day that is both a
New York Business Day and a London Business Day. Any Trust Property other than
Euro will be delivered by the Trustee.

     The Trustee may require that a Certificate evidencing Shares Surrendered
for the purpose of withdrawal is properly endorsed in blank or accompanied by
proper instruments of transfer in blank. Upon a Surrender of an integral number
of Baskets of Shares and satisfaction of all the conditions for withdrawal of
Trust Property, the Trustee

                                       15

shall instruct the Depository to Deliver, to or to the order of the Surrendering
Authorized Participant, the amount of Euro represented by the Surrendered
Baskets of Shares and the Depository or the Trustee shall pay or deliver to or
to the order of the Surrendering Authorized Participant the amount of any other
Trust Property represented by the Surrendered Baskets of Shares. Any Delivery of
Euro other than by wire transfer or at the office of the Depository will be at
the expense and risk of the Authorized Participant.

          Section 2.7 Limitations on Delivery, Registration of Transfer and
Surrender of Shares.

          (a) As a condition precedent to the Delivery, registration of
transfer, split-up, combination or Surrender of any Shares or withdrawal of any
Trust Property, the Trustee or Registrar may require payment from the Depositor
or the Authorized Participant Surrendering the Shares of a sum sufficient to
reimburse it for any tax or other governmental charge and any stock transfer or
registration fee with respect thereto (including any such tax or charge and fee
with respect to any securities being withdrawn) and payment of any applicable
fees as herein provided, may require the production of proof satisfactory to it
as to the identity and genuineness of any signature and may also require
compliance with any regulations the Trustee may establish consistent with the
provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 2.7.

          (b) The Delivery of Shares against deposits of Euro or the
registration of transfer of Shares may be suspended generally, or refused with
respect to particular requested Deliveries or transfers, during any period when
the transfer books of the Trustee are closed or if any such action is deemed
necessary or advisable by the Trustee or the Sponsor for any reason at any time
or from time to time. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the
Surrender of Shares for purposes of withdrawing Trust Property may not be
suspended.

                                       16

          Section 2.8 Lost Certificates, Etc.

          The Trustee shall execute and deliver a new Certificate of like tenor
in exchange and substitution for a mutilated Certificate upon cancellation
thereof, or in lieu of and in substitution for a destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate if the Registered Owner thereof has (a) filed with the Trustee (i) a
request for such execution and delivery before the Trustee has notice that the
Shares evidenced by the Certificate have been acquired by a protected purchaser
and (ii) a sufficient indemnity bond, and (b) satisfied any other reasonable
requirements imposed by the Trustee.

          Section 2.9 Cancellation and Destruction of Surrendered Certificates.

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

          Section 2.10 Splits and Reverse Splits of Shares.

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

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

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

                                       17

                                    ARTICLE 3

               CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS OF REGISTERED OWNERS OF SHARES

          Section 3.1 Liability of Registered Owner for Taxes and Other
Governmental Charges.

          If any tax or other governmental charge shall become payable by the
Trustee with respect to any transfer or redemption of Shares, such tax or other
governmental charge shall be payable by the Registered Owner of such Shares to
the Trustee. The Trustee shall refuse to effect any registration of transfer of
such Shares or any withdrawal of Trust Property represented by such Shares until
such payment is made, and may withhold any distributions, or may sell for the
account of the Registered Owner thereof Trust Property or Shares, and may apply
such distributions or the proceeds of any such sale in payment of such tax or
other governmental charge, and the Registered Owner of such Shares shall remain
liable for any deficiency. The Trustee shall distribute any net proceeds of a
sale made under the preceding sentence that remain, after payment of the tax or
other governmental charge, to the Registered Owners entitled thereto as in the
case of a distribution in cash.

          Section 3.2 Warranties on Deposit of Euro.

          Every Person depositing Euro under this Agreement shall be deemed
thereby to represent and warrant that the Person making such deposit is duly
authorized to do so and that at the time of delivery, the Euro are free and
clear of any lien, pledge, encumbrance, right, charge or claim (other than the
rights created by this Agreement). All representations and warranties deemed
made under this Section 3.2 shall survive the deposit of Euro, Delivery or
Surrender of Shares or termination of this Agreement.

                                       18

                                    ARTICLE 4

                           ADMINISTRATION OF THE TRUST

          Section 4.1 Evaluation of Euro; Calculation of Net Asset Value.

          As promptly as practicable after the determination of the Relevant
Price on each New York Business Day, ordinarily no later than 2:00 PM (New York
time), the Trustee will calculate, and the Sponsor or a person designated by the
Sponsor will publish, the Trust's net asset value ("NAV"). To calculate the NAV,
the Trustee will:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                       19

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

          Section 4.2 Responsibility of the Trustee for Evaluations.

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

          Section 4.3 Interest Account and Non-Interest Account.

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

          Section 4.4 Cash Distributions.

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

                                       20

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

          Section 4.5 Distributions of Surplus Property.

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

          Section 4.6 Fixing of Record Date.

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

                                       21

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

          Section 4.7 Payment of Trust Expenses.

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

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

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

          (3) taxes and other governmental charges;

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

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

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

                                       22

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

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

          Section 4.8 Statements and Reports.

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

                                       23

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

          If at any time the Trustee shall determine that in its judgment the
currency is not convertible on a reasonable basis into the required currency or
that, if applicable, is

                                       24

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

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

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

          Section 4.10 Counsel.

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

                                       25

          Section 4.11 Grantor Trust.

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

                                    ARTICLE 5

                                   THE SPONSOR

     Section 5.1 Duties of the Sponsor.

          (a) The Sponsor shall select the Depository and shall be solely
responsible for that selection. The Sponsor is responsible for establishing the
Trust and for the registration of the Shares. The Sponsor will generally oversee
the performance of the Trustee and the Trust's principal service providers, but
will not exercise day-to-day oversight over the Trustee or such service
providers. The Sponsor will regularly communicate with the Trustee to monitor
the overall performance of the Trust. The Sponsor will also designate the
independent certified public accountants of the Trust and may from time to time
employ legal counsel for the Trust.

                                       26

          (b) The Sponsor shall be responsible for all organizational expenses
of the Trust, and for the following administrative and marketing expenses of the
Trust: the Trustee's monthly fee, routine transaction and maintenance fees
charged by the Depository, listing fees of the Exchange, registration fees
charged by the Commission, printing and mailing costs, audit fees, legal
expenses not in excess of $100,000 per year and any applicable license fees.

          (c) The Sponsor will monitor the interest rate paid by the Depository
and has the right and duty to instruct the Trustee to terminate the Deposit
Account Agreement if the Sponsor considers the interest rate to be
noncompetitive.

     Section 5.2 Obligations of the Sponsor.

          (a) The Sponsor does not assume any obligation nor shall it be subject
to any liability under this Agreement to any Registered Owner or Beneficial
Owner or Depositor (including liability with respect to the worth of the Trust
Property), except that the Sponsor agrees to perform its obligations
specifically set forth in this Agreement without negligence or bad faith.

of the Shares on behalf of a Registered Owner, Beneficial Owner, Depositor or
other Person.

          (c) The Sponsor shall not be liable for any action or non-action by it

faith to be competent to give such advice or information.

          (d) The Sponsor shall not be liable for any acts or omissions made by
a successor sponsor whether in connection with a previous act or omission of the
Sponsor or in connection with any matter arising wholly after the resignation of
the Sponsor, provided that in connection with the issue out of which such
potential liability arises the

                                       27

Sponsor performed its obligations without negligence or bad faith while it acted
as sponsor.

          (e) The Sponsor shall have no obligation to comply with any direction

     Section 5.3 Prevention or Delay in Performance by the Sponsor.

          The Sponsor and its directors, employees, agents and affiliates shall
not incur any liability to any Registered Owner, Beneficial Owner or Depositor
if, by reason of any provision of any present or future law or regulation of the
United States or any other country, or of any governmental or regulatory
authority or stock exchange, or by reason of any act of God or war or terrorism
or other circumstances beyond its control, the Sponsor is prevented or forbidden
from, or would be subject to any civil or criminal penalty on account of, or is
delayed in, doing or performing any act or thing which by the terms of this
Agreement it is provided shall be done or performed and accordingly the Sponsor
does not do that act or thing or does that act or thing at a later time than
would otherwise be required. The Sponsor will not incur any liability to any
Registered Owner or Beneficial Owner or Depositor by reason of any
non-performance or delay in the performance of any act or thing which by the
terms of this Agreement it is provided may be done or performed, or by reason of
any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in this
Agreement.

     Section 5.4 Certain Matters Regarding Successor Sponsor.

          The covenants, provisions and agreements herein contained shall in
every case be binding upon any successor to the business of the Sponsor. The
Sponsor may transfer all or substantially all of its assets to an entity which
carries on the business of the Sponsor, if at the time of such transfer such
successor duly assumes all the obligations of the Sponsor under this Agreement,
and in such event, the Sponsor shall be relieved of all further liability under
this Agreement.

                                       28

     Section 5.5 Resignation of Sponsor; Successors.

          If at any time the Sponsor desires to resign its position as Sponsor
hereunder, it may resign by delivering to the Trustee an instrument of
resignation executed by the Sponsor. Such resignation shall become effective
upon the earliest of (i) the effective date of the appointment by the Trustee of
a successor sponsor and the acceptance by the successor sponsor of that
appointment, with such compensation from the Trust as the Trustee may deem
reasonable under the circumstances, by an instrument of appointment and
assumption executed by the Trustee and the successor sponsor; or (ii) an
agreement by the Trustee to act as sponsor hereunder succeeding to all the
rights and duties of the resigning Sponsor without appointing a successor
sponsor and without terminating this Agreement; or (iii) termination of this
Agreement in accordance with its terms and completion of distribution of all
remaining assets to Registered Owners. The Trustee shall have no obligation to
appoint a successor sponsor or to assume the duties of the Sponsor and shall
have no liability to any person because the Trust is terminated by reason of the
Sponsor's resignation.

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

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

                                       29

     Section 5.6 Compensation of the Sponsor.

          (a) The Sponsor is entitled to receive from the Trust, as an expense
of the Trust, the Sponsor's Fee. The Sponsor's Fee shall be accrued daily but
paid monthly in arrears.

          (b) In addition to the Sponsor's Fee, the Sponsor is entitled to
receive reimbursement from the Trust for all expenses and disbursements incurred
by it. Such reimbursement shall be made promptly after such expenses are
incurred by the Sponsor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sponsor is not
entitled to charge the Trust for (i) expenses and disbursements incurred by it
prior to the commencement of trading of Shares on the Exchange, and (ii)
expenses for performing, or fees of agents for performing, services the Sponsor
is required to perform under this Agreement.

          (c) Within 30 days following the end of each fiscal year, the Sponsor
shall certify to the Trustee the amount of its actual expenses and disbursements
incurred by it during the preceding fiscal year by it in connection with action
taken by it pursuant to Section 5.8 and shall reimburse the Trust any amounts
received by it from the Trust that exceed the amount so certified.

          (d) The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for amounts
paid to the Sponsor pursuant to this Section 5.6.

          Section 5.7 Federal Securities Law Filings.

          The Sponsor shall (i) prepare and file a registration statement with
the Commission and take such action as is necessary from time to time to qualify
the Shares for offering and sale under the federal securities laws of the United
States, including the preparation and filing of amendments and supplements to
such registration statement, (ii) promptly notify the Trustee of any amendment
or supplement to the registration statement or prospectus, of any order
preventing or suspending the use of any prospectus, of any request for the
amending or supplementing of the registration statement or

                                       30

prospectus or if any event or circumstance occurs that is known to the Sponsor
as a result of which the registration statement or prospectus, as then amended
or supplemented, would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (iii) provide
the Trustee from time to time with copies, including copies in electronic form,
of the prospectus, as amended and supplemented, in such quantities as the
Trustee may reasonably request and (iv) prepare and file any periodic reports or
updates that may be required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. The Trustee shall furnish to the Sponsor any information from the
records of the Trust that the Sponsor reasonably requests in writing that is
needed to prepare any filing or submission that the Sponsor or the Trust is
required to make under the federal securities laws of the United States.

          Section 5.8 Discretionary Actions by Sponsor; Consultation.

          (a) The Sponsor may, in its discretion, undertake any action which it
may deem necessary or desirable to protect the rights of the Registered Owners
and, in such event, the legal expenses and costs of any such actions shall be
expenses and costs of the Trust and the Sponsor shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor by the Trust. The expenses incurred by the Sponsor in
connection with taking any action under the preceding sentence (including the
fees and disbursements of legal counsel) shall be expenses of the Trust, and the
Sponsor shall be entitled to be promptly reimbursed for those expenses by the
Trust.

          (b) The Sponsor shall promptly notify the Trustee (i) regarding any
action it takes pursuant to Section 5.8(a) or (ii) if the Sponsor becomes aware
of any development or event that affects the administration of the Trust but is
not contemplated or provided for in this Agreement.

with any requirements of such exchange or exchanges.

          Section 6.2 Obligations of the Trustee.

          (a) The Trustee assumes no obligation nor shall it be subject to any

except that the Trustee agrees to perform its obligations specifically set forth
in this Agreement without negligence or bad faith.

                                       32

faith to be competent to give such advice or information.

          (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any acts or omissions made by
a successor trustee whether in connection with a previous act or omission of the

          (e) The Trustee shall have no obligation to comply with any direction
or instruction from any Registered Owner or Beneficial Owner or Depositor

if, by reason of any provision of any present or future law or regulation of the
United States or any other country, or of any governmental or regulatory

or other circumstances beyond its control, the Trustee is prevented or forbidden
from, or would be subject to any civil or criminal penalty on account of, or is
delayed in, doing or performing any act or thing which by the terms of this
Agreement it is provided shall be done or performed and accordingly the Trustee
does not do that act or thing or does that act or thing at a later time than

Registered Owner

                                       33

or Beneficial Owner or Depositor by reason of any non-performance or delay in
the performance of any act or thing which by the terms of this Agreement it is

Successor Trustee.

          (a) Resignation. The Trustee may at any time resign as Trustee

resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor trustee and
its acceptance of such appointment.

          (b) Removal by the Sponsor. In case at any time the Trustee shall be
adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property
shall be appointed, or a trustee or liquidator or any public officer shall take
charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purposes
of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then in any such case, the
Sponsor shall, subject to the requirements of Section 6.4(e), remove the Trustee
by notice to the Trustee, and such removal shall take effect upon the
appointment of a successor trustee and its acceptance of such appointment.

          (c) Removal by Registered Owners. Registered Owners of at least
two-thirds (66-2/3 %) of the Shares then outstanding may at any time remove the

          (d) Removal for Material Breach. If at any time the Trustee ceases to
be a Qualified Bank or is in material breach of its obligations under this
Agreement and the Trustee fails to cure such breach within 30 days after receipt
by the Trustee of notice from the Sponsor or Registered Owners acting on behalf
of at least 25% of the outstanding Shares specifying such default and requiring
the Trustee to cure such default,

                                       34

the Sponsor, acting on behalf of the Registered Owners, may remove the Trustee
by notice delivered to the Trustee, and such removal shall take effect upon the
appointment of a successor trustee and its acceptance of such appointment as
hereinafter provided.

          (e) Appointing Successor Trustees. If the Trustee acting hereunder
resigns or is removed, the Sponsor, acting on behalf of the Registered Owners,
shall use its reasonable efforts to appoint a successor trustee, which shall be
a Qualified Bank. Every successor trustee shall execute and deliver to its
predecessor and to the Sponsor, acting on behalf of the Registered Owners, an
instrument in writing accepting its appointment hereunder, and thereupon such
successor trustee, without any further act or deed, shall become fully vested
with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor; but such
predecessor, nevertheless, upon payment of all sums due it and on the written
request of the Sponsor, acting on behalf of the Registered Owners, shall execute
and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all rights and powers
of such predecessor hereunder, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all
right, title and interest in the Trust Property to such successor, and shall
deliver to such successor a list of the Registered Owners of all outstanding
Shares. The Sponsor or any such successor trustee shall promptly notify the
Registered Owners of the appointment of such successor trustee.

          (f) Liability of Trustee. Upon effective resignation hereunder, the
resigning or removed Trustee shall be discharged and shall no longer be liable
in any manner hereunder except as to acts or omissions occurring prior to such
resignation or removal, and the new trustee shall thereupon undertake and
perform all duties and be entitled to all rights and compensation as trustee
under this Agreement. The successor trustee shall not be under any liability
hereunder for acts or omissions occurring prior to execution of an instrument
accepting its appointment as trustee.

          (g) Effect of Merger of the Trustee. Any corporation into which the
Trustee may be merged, consolidated or converted in a transaction in which the
Trustee is

                                       35

interest will remain in the Non-Interest Account.

          (b) Amounts payable upon Surrender of Shares in whole Baskets shall be
paid from the Non-Interest Account. The Trustee shall contemporaneously instruct

principal from the Interest Account to the Non-Interest Account.

          Section 6.6 The Depository.

Sponsor. The Trustee will have no duty or liability to any Person on account of
that selection or the terms of the Deposit Account Agreement. The Depository
will be subject at all times and in all respects to the directions of the
Trustee and will be responsible solely to it. The rights and duties of the
Depository with reference to the Trust will be determined by the Deposit Account
Agreement and applicable law. The Trustee shall not amend or terminate the
Deposit Account Agreement without the written consent of the Sponsor. The
Trustee shall terminate the Deposit Account Agreement if the Sponsor directs it

disbursements incurred by it prior to the commencement of trading of Shares on
the Exchange and (ii) fees of agents for performing services the Trustee is

          (a) The Trustee may, in its discretion, undertake any action which it
may deem necessary or desirable to protect the rights of the Registered Owners
and, in such event, the legal expenses and costs of any such actions shall be
expenses and costs of the Trust and the Sponsor shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor by the Trust. The expenses incurred by the Trustee in
connection with taking any action under the preceding sentence (including the
fees and disbursements of legal counsel) shall be expenses of the Trust, and the
Trustee shall be entitled to be promptly reimbursed for those expenses by the
Trust.

          (b) The Trustee shall notify and consult with the Sponsor before
undertaking any action under subsection (a) above or if the Trustee becomes

but is not contemplated or provided for in this Agreement.

                                    ARTICLE 7

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

          Section 7.1 Indemnification of the Sponsor and Trustee.

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

                                       38

Commission or any periodic reports or updates that may be filed under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any failure to make any filings
with or submissions to the Commission which are required to be made in
connection with or with respect to the Shares), except that the Sponsor shall
not have any obligations under this Section 7.1(a) to pay Indemnified Amounts
incurred as a result of and attributable to (x) the negligence or bad faith of,
or material breach of the terms of this Agreement by, the Trustee, (y) written
information furnished in writing by the Trustee to the Sponsor expressly for use
in the registration statement, or any amendment thereto, filed with the
Commission relating to the Shares that is not materially altered by the Sponsor
or (z) any misrepresentations or omissions made by a Depositor (other than
Sponsor) in connection with such Depositor's offer and sale of Shares.

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

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

                                       39

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

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

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

                                       40

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

                                       41

harmless the Indemnitee from any loss, expense or liability incurred by the
Indemnitee as a result of a default judgment entered against the Indemnitee
unless such judgment was entered after the Indemnitor agreed, in writing, to
assume the defense of such Proceeding.

                                    ARTICLE 8

                            AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

          Section 8.1 Amendment.

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

                                       42

represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of
applicable law.

          Section 8.2 Termination.

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

               (i) the Sponsor has given notice of resignation or is unable to
perform its duties or becomes bankrupt or insolvent and the Trustee will not
appoint a successor sponsor or agree to act as Sponsor;

               (ii) Registered Owners holding at least 75% of the outstanding
Shares notify the Trustee that they elect to terminate the Trust;

               (iii) the Depository resigns or is removed; or

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

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

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

                                       43

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

consecutive New York Business Days at any time after the first 90 days of the
Shares being traded on the Exchange;

               (iv) all of the Trust's assets are sold;

               (v) the aggregate market capitalization of the Trust, based on
the closing price for the Shares remains less than $300 million for five
consecutive trading days; or

               (vi) DTC is unwilling or unable to perform its functions under
this Agreement.

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

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

          (e) On and after the date of termination of this Agreement, the
Registered Owner of Shares will, upon (i) Surrender of those Shares, (ii)
payment of the fee of the Trustee for the Surrender of Shares provided in
Section 6.7, and (iii) payment of any applicable taxes or other governmental
charges, be entitled to Delivery, to the Registered Owner or upon the Registered
Owner's order, of the amount of Trust Property represented by those Shares. The
Trustee shall not accept any deposits of Euro after the

                                       44

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

                          FORM OF PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT

This Participant Agreement (this "Agreement"), dated as of ________, is entered
into by and between __________ (with respect to this Agreement, the "Authorized
Participant", and with respect to the Trust Agreement referred to below, an
"Authorized Participant"), The Bank of New York, not in its individual capacity
but solely as trustee (the "Trustee") of the Euro Currency Trust (the "Trust"),
and Rydex Specialized Products LLC, as sponsor (the "Sponsor") of the Trust.

                                     SUMMARY

The Trustee serves as the trustee of the Trust pursuant to the Depositary Trust
Agreement dated as of __________, 2005, among the Sponsor, the Trustee, the
registered owners and beneficial owners from time to time of Euro Currency
Shares issued thereunder and all depositors (the "Trust Agreement"). As provided
in the Trust Agreement and described in the Prospectus (defined below), units of
fractional undivided beneficial interests in and ownership of the Trust (the
"Shares") may be created or redeemed by the Trustee for an Authorized
Participant in aggregations of fifty thousand (50,000) Shares (each aggregation,
a "Basket"). Baskets are offered only pursuant to the registration statement of
the Trust on Form S-1, as amended (Registration No: 333-125581), as declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and as the same may
be amended from time to time thereafter (collectively, the "Registration
Statement") together with the prospectus of the Trust (the "Prospectus")
included therein. Under the Trust Agreement, the Trustee is authorized to issue
Baskets to, and redeem Baskets from, Authorized Participants under the Trust
Agreement, only through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC")
or a successor depository, and only in exchange for an amount of euro that is
transferred between such Authorized Participant and the Trust. Under the Trust
Agreement, the Trustee issues Baskets in exchange for euro which are transferred
by an Authorized Participant to the London Branch of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.
(the "Depository"), and when the Trustee redeems Baskets tendered for redemption
by an Authorized Participant in exchange for euro, the euro held in the Trust
Account are transferred to the Authorized Participant by the Depository. The
foregoing euro transfers are also governed by the Deposit Account Agreement the
Trust has entered into with the Depository (the "Deposit Account Agreement").
This Agreement sets forth the specific procedures by which an Authorized
Participant may create or redeem Baskets.

Because new Shares can be created and issued on an ongoing basis, at any point
during the life of the Trust, a "distribution," as such term is used in the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act"), may be occurring. The
Authorized Participant is cautioned that some of its activities may result in
its being deemed a participant in a distribution in a manner that would render
it a statutory underwriter and subject it to the prospectus-delivery and
liability provisions of the 1933 Act. The Authorized Participant should review
the "Plan of Distribution" portion of the Prospectus and consult with its own
counsel in connection with entering into this Agreement and placing an Order
(defined below).

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Trust Agreement. To the extent there is a conflict
between any provision of this Agreement and the provisions of the Trust
Agreement, the provisions of the Trust Agreement shall control.

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

SECTION 1. ORDER PLACEMENT. To place orders for the Trustee to create or redeem
one or more Baskets, Authorized Participants must follow the procedures for
creation and redemption referred to in Section 3 of this Agreement and the
procedures described in Attachment A hereto (the "Procedures"), as each may be
amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.

SECTION 2. STATUS OF AUTHORIZED PARTICIPANT. The Authorized Participant
represents and warrants and covenants the following:

     (a) The Authorized Participant is a participant of DTC (as such a
     participant, a "DTC Participant"). If the Authorized Participant ceases to
     be a DTC Participant, the Authorized Participant shall give immediate
     notice to the Trustee of such event, and this Agreement shall terminate
     immediately as of the date the Authorized Participant ceased to be a DTC
     Participant.

     (b) Unless Section 2(c) applies, the Authorized Participant either (i) is
     registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
     amended ("1934 Act"), and is a member in good standing of the National
     Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"), or (ii) is exempt
     from being, or otherwise is not required to be, licensed as a broker-dealer
     or a member of the NASD, and in either case is qualified to act as a broker
     or dealer in the states or other jurisdictions where the nature of its
     business so requires. The Authorized Participant will maintain any such
     registrations, qualifications and membership in good standing and in full
     force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement. The Authorized
     Participant will comply with all applicable federal laws, the laws of the
     states or other jurisdictions concerned, and the rules and regulations
     promulgated thereunder, and with the Constitution, By-Laws and Conduct
     Rules of the NASD (if it is a NASD member), and will not offer or sell
     Shares in any state or jurisdiction where they may not lawfully be offered
     and/or sold.

     (c) If the Authorized Participant is offering or selling Shares in
     jurisdictions outside the several states, territories and possessions of
     the United States and is not otherwise required to be registered, qualified
     or a member of the NASD as set forth in Section 2(b) above, the Authorized
     Participant will (i) observe the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in
     which such offer and/or sale is made, (ii) comply with the prospectus
     delivery and other requirements of the 1933 Act, and the regulations
     promulgated thereunder, and (iii) conduct its business in accordance with
     the NASD Conduct Rules.

     (d) The Authorized Participant is in compliance with the money laundering
     and related provisions of the Uniting and Strengthening America by
     Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism
     (USA PATRIOT ACT) Act of 2001, and the regulations promulgated thereunder,
     if the Authorized Participant is subject to the requirements of the USA
     PATRIOT ACT.

     (e) The Authorized Participant has the capability to send and receive
     communications via authenticated telecommunication facility to and from the
     Trustee and the Depository. The Authorized Participant shall confirm such
     capability to the satisfaction of the Trustee and the Depository by the end
     of the Business Day before placing its first order with the Trustee
     (whether such order is to create or to redeem Baskets). If required by the
     Depository with respect to authorized telecommunications by telephonic
     facsimile, the Authorized Participant shall enter into a separate agreement
     with the Depository, as the case may be, indemnifying such party with
     respect to its communications by telephonic facsimile, substantially in the
     form attached as Exhibit D, as the same may be amended from time to time.

SECTION 3. ORDERS.

     (a) All orders to create or redeem Baskets shall be made in accordance with
     the terms of the Trust Agreement, the Deposit Account Agreement, this
     Agreement and the Procedures. Each party will comply with such foregoing
     terms and procedures to the extent applicable to it. The Authorized
     Participant hereby consents to the use of recorded telephone lines whether
     or not such use is reflected in the Procedures. The Trustee and Sponsor may
     issue additional or other procedures from time to time relating to the
     manner of creating or redeeming Baskets which are not related to the
     Procedures, and the Authorized Participant will comply with such
     procedures.

     (b) The Authorized Participant acknowledges and agrees that each order to
     create a Basket (a "Purchase Order") and each order to redeem a Basket (a
     "Redemption Order", and each Purchase Order and Redemption Order, an
     "Order") may not be revoked by the Authorized Participant upon its delivery
     to the Trustee. A form of Purchase Order is attached hereto as Exhibit B
     and a form of Redemption Order is attached hereto as Exhibit C.

     (c) The delivery of the Shares against deposits of euro may be suspended
     generally, or refused with respect to particular requested deliveries,
     during any period when the transfer books of the Trustee are closed or if
     any such action is deemed necessary or advisable by the Trustee or the
     Sponsor for any reason at any time or from time to time. Except as
     otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement, the surrender of Shares for
     purposes of withdrawing euro may not be suspended.

SECTION 4. EURO TRANSFERS. Any euro to be transferred in connection with any
Order shall be transferred between the Participant's account and the Deposit
Account in accordance with the Procedures. The Authorized Participant shall be
responsible for all costs and expenses relating to or connected with any
transfer of euro between its account and the Deposit Account, including any late
fees and other charges, if any, for which the Trustee becomes responsible in the
event that euro are not transferred from the Authorized Participant's account in
accordance with the Procedures.

SECTION 5. FEES. In connection with each Order by an Authorized Participant to
create or redeem one or more Baskets, the Trustee shall charge, and the
Authorized Participant shall pay to the Trustee, the transaction fee prescribed
in the Trust Agreement applicable to such creation or redemption. The initial
transaction fee shall be five hundred dollars ($500). The transaction fee may be
waived or otherwise adjusted from time to time as set forth in the Prospectus.

SECTION 6. AUTHORIZED PERSONS. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement
and from time to time thereafter, the Authorized Participant shall deliver to
the Trustee notarized and duly certified as appropriate by its secretary or
other duly authorized official, a certificate in the form of Exhibit A setting
forth the names and signatures of all persons authorized to give instructions
relating to activity contemplated hereby or by any other notice, request or
instruction given on behalf of the Authorized Participant (each, an "Authorized
Person"). The Trustee may accept and rely upon such certificate as conclusive
evidence of the facts set forth therein and shall consider such certificate to
be in full force and effect until the Trustee receives a superseding certificate
bearing a subsequent date. Upon the termination or revocation of authority of
any Authorized Person by the Authorized Participant, the Authorized Participant
shall give immediate written notice of such fact to the Trustee and such notice
shall be effective upon receipt by the Trustee. The Trustee shall issue to each
Authorized Person a unique personal identification number (the "PIN Number") by
which such Authorized Person shall be identified and by which instructions
issued by the Authorized Participant hereunder shall be authenticated. The PIN
Number shall be kept confidential by the Authorized Participant and shall only
be provided to the Authorized Person. If, after issuance, the Authorized
Person's PIN Number is changed, the new PIN Number shall become effective on a
date mutually agreed upon by the Authorized Participant and the Trustee.

SECTION 7. REDEMPTION. The Authorized Participant represents and warrants that
it will not obtain an Order Number (as described in the Procedures) from the
Trustee for the purpose of redeeming a Basket unless it first ascertains that
(i) it owns outright or has full legal authority and legal and beneficial right
to tender for redemption the Baskets to be redeemed and to receive the entire
proceeds of the redemption, and (ii) such Baskets have not been loaned or
pledged to another party and are not the subject of a repurchase agreement,
securities lending agreement or any other arrangement which would preclude the
delivery of such Baskets to the Trustee on the third Business Day following the
Redemption Order Date.

SECTION 8. ROLE OF AUTHORIZED PARTICIPANT.

     (a) The Authorized Participant acknowledges that, for all purposes of this
     Agreement and the Trust Agreement, the Authorized Participant is and shall
     be deemed to be an independent

     contractor and has and shall have no authority to act as agent for the
     Trust, the Sponsor, the Trustee or the Depository, in any matter or in any
     respect.

     (b) The Authorized Participant will make itself and its employees
     available, upon request, during normal business hours to consult with the
     Trustee, the Depository or their designees concerning the performance of
     the Authorized Participant's responsibilities under this Agreement.

     (c) The Authorized Participant will maintain records of all sales of Shares
     made by or through it and will furnish copies of such records to the
     Sponsor upon the reasonable request of the Sponsor.

SECTION 9. INDEMNIFICATION.

     (a) The Authorized Participant hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the
     Trustee, the Depository, the Trust, the Sponsor, their respective direct or
     indirect affiliates (as defined below) and their respective directors,
     officers, employees and agents (each, an "AP Indemnified Party") from and
     against any losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including
     attorney's fees and the reasonable cost of investigation) incurred by such
     AP Indemnified Party as a result of or in connection with: (i) any breach
     by the Authorized Participant of any provisions of this Agreement,
     including its representations, warranties and covenants; (ii) any failure
     on the part of the Authorized Participant to perform any of its obligations
     set forth in this Agreement; (iii) any failure by the Authorized
     Participant to comply with applicable laws and the rules and regulations of
     any governmental entity or any self-regulatory organization; (iv) any
     actions of such AP Indemnified Party in reliance upon any instructions
     issued in accordance with the Procedures believed by the AP Indemnified
     Party to be genuine and to have been given by the Authorized Participant;
     or (v) (A) any representation by the Authorized Participant, its employees
     or its agents or other representatives about the Shares, any AP Indemnified
     Party or the Trust that is not consistent with the Trust's then-current
     Prospectus made in connection with the offer or the solicitation of an
     offer to buy or sell Shares and (B) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
     statement of a material fact contained in any research reports, marketing
     material and sales literature described in Section 13(b) or any alleged
     omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
     necessary to make the statements therein not misleading to the extent that
     such statement or omission relates to the Shares, any AP Indemnified Party
     or the Trust, unless, in either case, such representation, statement or
     omission was made or included by the Authorized Participant at the written
     direction of the Sponsor or is based upon any omission or alleged omission
     by the Sponsor to state a material fact in connection with such
     representation, statement or omission necessary to make such
     representation, statement or omission not misleading.

     (b) The Sponsor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Authorized
     Participant, its respective subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers,
     employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls such persons
     within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (each, a "Sponsor
     Indemnified Party") from and against any losses, liabilities, damages,
     costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and the reasonable cost of
     investigation) incurred by such Sponsor Indemnified Party as a result of
     (i) any breach by the Sponsor of any provision of this Agreement that
     relates to the Sponsor; (ii) any failure on the part of the Sponsor to
     perform any obligation of the Sponsor set forth in this Agreement; (iii)
     any failure by the Sponsor to comply with applicable laws; or (iv) any
     untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
     in the registration statement of the Trust as originally filed with the SEC
     or in any amendment thereof, or in any prospectus, or in any amendment
     thereof or supplement thereto, or arising out of or based upon the omission
     or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
     therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except
     those statements in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus based on
     information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Authorized
     Participant expressly for use in the Registration Statement or the
     Prospectus.

     (c) This Section 9 shall not apply to the extent any such losses,
     liabilities, damages, costs and expenses are incurred as a result or in
     connection with any gross negligence, bad faith or willful

     misconduct on the part of the AP Indemnified Party or the Sponsor
     Indemnified Party, as the case may be. The term "affiliate" in this Section
     9 shall include, with respect to any person, entity or organization, any
     other person, entity or organization which directly, or indirectly through
     one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common
     control with such person, entity or organization.

     (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to
     an indemnified party under Sections 9(a) or 9(b) or insufficient to hold an
     indemnified party harmless in respect of any losses, liabilities, damages,
     costs and expenses referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying
     party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified
     party as a result of such losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses
     (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
     received by the Sponsor and the Trust, on the one hand, and by the
     Authorized Participant, on the other hand, from the services provided
     hereunder or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not
     permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to
     reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but
     also the relative fault of the Sponsor and the Trust, on the one hand, and
     of the Authorized Participant, on the other hand, in connection with, to
     the extent applicable, the statements or omissions which resulted in such
     losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, as well as any other
     relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the
     Sponsor and the Trust, on the one hand, and the Authorized Participant, on
     the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as
     the amount of euro transferred to the Trust under this Agreement on the one
     hand (expressed in dollars) bears to the amount of economic benefit
     received by the Authorized Participant in connection with this Agreement on
     the other hand. To the extent applicable, the relative fault of the Sponsor
     on the one hand and of the Authorized Participant on the other shall be
     determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue
     statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or
     alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Sponsor or by the
     Authorized Participant and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access
     to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
     omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses,
     liabilities, damages, costs and expenses referred to in this Section 9(d)
     shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably
     incurred by such party in connection with investigating, preparing to
     defend or defending any action, suit or proceeding (each a "Proceeding")
     related to such losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses.

     (e) The Sponsor and the Authorized Participant agree that it would not be
     just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were
     determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that
     does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in
     Section 9(d) above. The Authorized Participant shall not be required to
     contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at
     which the Shares created by the Authorized Participant and distributed to
     the public exceeds the amount of any damage which the Authorized
     Participant has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue
     statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No
     person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
     Section 10(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
     person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

     (f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 9
     shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made
     by or on behalf of the Authorized Participant, its partners, stockholders,
     members, directors, officers, employees and or any person (including each
     partner, stockholder, member, director, officer or employee of such person)
     who controls the Authorized Participant within the meaning of Section 15 of
     the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, or by or on behalf of the
     Sponsor, its partners, stockholders, members, directors, officers,
     employees or any person who controls the Sponsor within the meaning of
     Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, and shall survive
     any termination of this Agreement. The Sponsor and the Authorized
     Participant agree promptly to notify each other of the commencement of any
     Proceeding against it and, in the case of the Sponsor, against any of the

     Sponsor's officers or directors, in connection with the issuance and sale
     of the Shares or in connection with the Registration Statement or the
     Prospectus.

SECTION 10. LIABILITY.

     (a) Limitation of Liability. None of the Sponsor, the Trustee, the
     Authorized Participant, and the Depository shall be liable to each other or
     to any other person, including any party claiming by, through or on behalf
     of the Authorized Participant, for any losses, liabilities, damages, costs
     or expenses arising out of any mistake or error in data or other
     information provided to any of them by each other or any other person or
     out of any interruption or delay in the electronic means of communications
     used by them.

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

SECTION 11. ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The Authorized Participant acknowledges receipt of a
(i) copy of the Trust Agreement and (ii) the current Prospectus of the Trust,
and represents that it has reviewed and understands such documents.

SECTION 12. EFFECTIVENESS AND TERMINATION. Upon the execution of this Agreement
by the parties hereto, this Agreement shall become effective in this form as of
the date first set forth above, and may be terminated at any time by any party
upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other parties unless earlier
terminated: (i) in accordance with Section 2(a); (ii) upon notice to the
Authorized Participant by the Trustee in the event of a breach by the Authorized
Participant of this Agreement or the procedures described or incorporated
herein; (iii) immediately in the circumstances described in Section 18(j); or
(iv) at such time as the Trust is terminated pursuant to the Trust Agreement.

SECTION 13. MARKETING MATERIALS; REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING SHARES;
IDENTIFICATION IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT.

     (a) The Authorized Participant represents, warrants and covenants that (i),
     without the written consent of the Sponsor, the Authorized Participant will
     not make, or permit any of its representatives to make, any representations
     concerning the Shares or any AP Indemnified Party other than
     representations contained (A) in the then-current Prospectus of the Trust,
     (B) in printed information approved by the Sponsor as information
     supplemental to such Prospectus or (C) in any promotional materials or
     sales literature furnished to the Authorized Participant by the Sponsor,
     and (ii) the Authorized Participant will not furnish or cause to be
     furnished to any person or display or publish any information or material
     relating to the Shares, any AP Indemnified Person or the Trust that are not
     consistent with the Trust's then current Prospectus. Copies of the then
     current Prospectus of the Trust and any such printed supplemental
     information will be supplied by the Sponsor to the Authorized Participant
     in reasonable quantities upon request.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Authorized Participant may without
     the written approval of the Sponsor prepare and circulate in the regular
     course of its business research reports, marketing material and sales
     literature that includes information, opinions or recommendations relating
     to the Shares (i) for public dissemination, provided that such research
     reports, marketing material or sales literature compare the relative merits
     and benefits of Shares with other products; and (ii) for internal use by
     the Authorized Participant. The Authorized Participant will file all such
     research reports, marketing material and sales literature related to the
     Shares with the NASD to the extent required by the NASD Conduct Rules.

     (c) The Authorized Participant and its affiliates may prepare and circulate
     in the regular course of their businesses, without having to refer to the
     Shares or the Trust's then-current Prospectus, data and information
     relating to the price of euro.

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

     (e) For as long as this Agreement is effective, the Authorized Participant
     agrees to be identified as an authorized participant of the Trust (i) in
     the section of the Prospectus included within the Registration Statement
     entitled "Creation and Redemption of Shares" and in any other section as
     may be required by the SEC and (ii) on the Trust's website. Upon the
     termination of this Agreement, (i) during the period prior to when the
     Sponsor qualifies and elects to file on Form S-3, the Sponsor will remove
     such identification from the Prospectus in the amendment of the
     Registration Statement next occurring after the date of the termination of
     this Agreement and, during the period after when the Sponsor qualifies and
     elects to file on Form S-3, the Sponsor will promptly file a current report
     on Form 8-K indicating the withdrawal of the Authorized Participant as an
     authorized participant of the Trust and (ii) the Sponsor will promptly
     update the Trust's website to remove any identification of the Authorized
     Participant as an authorized participant of the Trust.

SECTION 14. TITLE TO EURO. The Authorized Participant represents and warrants
that upon delivery of a Creation Basket Deposit to the Trustee in accordance
with the terms of the Trust Agreement and this Agreement, the Trust will acquire
good and unencumbered title to the euro which are the subject of such Creation
Basket Deposit, free and clear of all pledges, security interests, liens,
charges, taxes, assessments, encumbrances, equities, claims, options or
limitations of any kind or nature, fixed or contingent, and not subject to any
adverse claims, including any restriction upon the sale or transfer of all or
any part of such euro which is imposed by any agreement or arrangement entered
into by the Authorized Participant or any party for which it is acting in
connection with a Purchase Order.

SECTION 15. THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. Each AP Indemnified Party, to the extent
it is not a party to this Agreement, is a third-party beneficiary of this
Agreement (each, a "Third Party Beneficiary") and may proceed directly against
the Authorized Participant (including by bringing proceedings against the
Authorized Participant in its own name) to enforce any obligation of the
Authorized Participant under this Agreement which directly or indirectly
benefits such Third Party Beneficiary.

SECTION 16. FORCE MAJEURE. No party to this Agreement shall incur any liability
for any delay in performance, or for the non-performance, of any of its
obligations under this Agreement by reason of any act of God or war or
terrorism, acts and regulations and rules of any governmental or supra national
bodies or authorities or regulatory or self-regulatory organization or failure
of any such body, authority or organization for any reason, to perform its
obligations, or any cause beyond its reasonable control, including, without
limitation, any breakdown, malfunction or failure of transmission in connection
with or other unavailability of any wire, communication or computer facilities,
any transport, port or airport disruption, or any industrial action.

SECTION 17. AMBIGUOUS INSTRUCTIONS. If a Purchase Order Form or a Redemption
Order Form otherwise in good form contains order terms that differ from the
information provided in the telephone call at the time of issuance of the
applicable order number, the Trustee will attempt to contact one of the
Authorized Persons of the Authorized Participant to request confirmation of the
terms of the Order. If an Authorized Person confirms the terms as they appear in
the Order, then the Order will be accepted and processed. If an Authorized
Person contradicts the Order terms, the Order will be deemed invalid, and a
corrected Order must be received by the Trustee. If the Trustee is not able to
contact an Authorized Person, then the Order shall be accepted and processed in
accordance with its terms notwithstanding any inconsistency from the terms of
the telephone information. In the event that an Order contains terms that are
not complete or are illegible, the Order will be deemed invalid and the Trustee
will attempt to contact one of the Authorized Persons of the Authorized
Participant to request retransmission of the Order.

SECTION 18. MISCELLANEOUS.

     (a) Amendment and Modification. This Agreement, the Procedures attached as
     Attachment A and the Exhibits hereto may be amended, modified or
     supplemented by the Trustee and the Sponsor, without consent of any
     Authorized Participant from time to time by the following procedure. After
     the amendment, modification or supplement has been agreed to, the Trustee
     will mail a copy of the proposed amendment, modification or supplement to
     the Authorized Participant. For the purposes of this Agreement, mail will
     be deemed received by the recipient thereof on the third (3rd) day
     following the deposit of such mail into the United States postal system.
     Within ten (10) calendar days after its deemed receipt, the amendment,
     modification or supplement will become part of this Agreement, the
     Attachments or the Exhibits, as the case may be, in accordance with its
     terms. If at any time there is any material amendment, modification or
     supplement of any Participant Agreement (other than this Agreement), the
     Trustee will promptly mail a copy of such amendment, modification or
     supplement to the Authorized Participant.

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

     (c) Notices. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement,
     all notices required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement
     shall be given in writing and delivered by personal delivery, by postage
     prepaid registered or certified United States first class mail, return
     receipt requested, by nationally recognized overnight courier (delivery
     confirmation received) or by telex, telegram or telephonic facsimile or
     similar means of same day delivery (transmission confirmation received),
     with a confirming copy regular mailed, postage prepaid. For avoidance of
     doubt, notices may not be given or transmitted by electronic mail. Unless
     otherwise notified in writing, all notices to the Trust shall be given or
     sent to the Trustee. All notices shall be directed to the address or
     telephone or facsimile numbers indicated below the signature line of the
     parties on the signature page hereof.

     (d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof
     shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their
     respective successors and permitted assigns.

     (e) Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or
     obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any party without the prior
     written consent of the other parties, except that any entity into which a
     party hereto may be merged or converted or with which it may be
     consolidated or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion, or
     consolidation to which such party hereunder shall be a party, or any entity
     succeeding to all or substantially all of the business of the party, shall
     be the successor of the party under this Agreement. The party resulting
     from any such merger, conversion, consolidation or succession shall notify
     the other parties hereto of the change. Any purported assignment in
     violation of the provisions hereof shall be null and void.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall be automatically
     assigned to any successor Trustee or Sponsor at such time such successor
     qualifies as a successor Trustee or Sponsor under the terms of the Trust
     Agreement.

     (f) Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be
     governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New
     York (regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable
     New York conflict of laws principles) as to all matters, including matters
     of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies. Each party
     hereto irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State
     of New York and of any federal court located in the Borough of Manhattan in
     such State in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding arising
     out of or relating to this Agreement or any action taken or omitted
     hereunder, and waives any claim of forum non convenient and any objections
     as to laying of venue. Each party further waives personal service of any
     summons, complaint or other process and agrees that service thereof may be
     made by certified or registered mail directed to such party at such party's
     address for purposes of notices hereunder. Each party hereby waives its
     right to a trial by jury of any claim arising under or in connection with
     this Agreement.

     (g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
     counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this
     Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to
     constitute one and the same agreement, and it shall not be necessary in
     making proof of this Agreement as to any party hereto to produce or account
     for more than one such counterpart executed and delivered by such party.

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

     (i) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Trust Agreement, along with
     any other agreement or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement and
     the Trust Agreement, supersede all prior agreements and understandings
     between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, provided,
     however, that the Authorized Participant shall not be deemed by this
     provision to be a party to the Trust Agreement.

     (j) Severance. If any provision of this Agreement is held by any court or
     any act, regulation, rule or decision of any other governmental or supra
     national body or authority or regulatory or self-regulatory organization to

                              PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT

CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF EURO CURRENCY SHARES AND RELATED EURO TRANSACTIONS

Scope of Procedures and Overview

These procedures (the "Procedures") describe the processes by which one or more
Baskets of Euro Currency Trust shares (the "Shares") issuable by The Bank of New
York, as trustee (the "Trustee") of the Euro Currency Trust (the "Trust"), may
be purchased or, once Shares have been issued, redeemed by an Authorized
Participant. Shares may be created or redeemed only in blocks of 50,000 Shares
(each such block, a "Basket"). Because the issuance and redemption of Baskets
also involve the transfer of euro between the Authorized Participant and the
Trust, certain processes relating to the underlying euro transfers also are
described.

Under these Procedures, Baskets may be issued only with respect to euro
transferred to and held in the Trust's accounts maintained in London, England by
JPMorgan Chase, N.A., London Branch, as depository (the "Depository").
Capitalized terms used in these Procedures without further definition have the
meanings assigned to them in the Depositary Trust Agreement, dated as of
____________ 2005, between Rydex Specialized Products LLC (the "Sponsor"), the
Trustee, the registered owners and beneficial owners from time to time of Shares
issued thereunder and all depositors (the "Trust Agreement"), or the Participant
Agreement entered into by each Authorized Participant with the Sponsor and the
Trustee.

For purposes of these Procedures, a "Business Day" is defined as any day other
than (i) a Saturday or Sunday or (ii) a day on which the New York Stock Exchange
(the "NYSE") is not open for regular trading at noon New York City time.

Baskets are issued pursuant to the Prospectus, which will be delivered by the
Sponsor to each Authorized Participant prior to its execution of the Participant
Agreement, and are issued and redeemed in accordance with the Trust Agreement
and the Participant Agreement. Baskets may be issued and redeemed on any
Business Day by the Trustee in exchange for euro, which the Trustee receives
from Authorized Participants or transfers to Authorized Participants, in each
case on behalf of the Trust. Authorized Participants will be required to pay a
nonrefundable per order transaction fee of $500 to the Trustee (the "Transaction
Fee").

Authorized Participants and the Trust Transfer Euro and Baskets of Shares.

Upon acceptance of the Participant Agreement by the Sponsor and the Trustee, the
Trustee will assign a personal identification number (a "PIN number") to each
Authorized Person authorized to act for the Authorized Participant. This will
allow the Authorized Participant through its Authorized Person(s) to place
Purchase Order(s) or Redemption Order(s) (together, "Orders") for Baskets.

Important Notes:

     o    Any Purchase Order is subject to rejection by the Trustee for the
          reasons set forth in the Trust Agreement.

     o    All Orders are subject to the provisions of the Participant Agreement
          relating to unclear or ambiguous instructions.

                                CREATION PROCESS
                                    OVERVIEW

     The "Creation Process" portion of these Procedures describes the process by
which an order to purchase one or more Baskets of Shares placed by an Authorized
Participant with the Trustee by 4:00 p.m. New York City ("NYC") time on the
Business Day that is the Order Date under the Trust Agreement ("CREATION T"),
results in the following taking place by 9:30 a.m. New York City time (usually
3:30 p.m. Central European Time ("CET")) on CREATION T+3:

     transfer to the Trust of euros in the amount corresponding to the Shares to
     be issued, and

     transfer to the Authorized Participant's account at The Depository Trust
     Company ("DTC") of Shares corresponding to the euros the Participant has
     transferred to the Trust.

     Important Notes:

     Any Purchase Order is subject to rejection by the Trustee for the reasons
     set forth in the Trust Agreement.

     All Orders are subject to the provisions of the Participant Agreement
     relating to unclear or ambiguous instructions.

     Incoming telephone calls are queued and will be handled in the sequence
     received. Calls placed before the Order Cut-off Time will be processed even
     if the call is taken after that time. Accordingly, do not hang up and
     redial. Purchase Orders that are placed later than the Order Cut-off Time
     will be rejected.

     C1.1.7 If the Trustee has not received the Purchase Order Form from the

cancelled, but the Authorized Participant will remain liable to the Trustee for
the Transaction Fee.

Order Form on time in accordance with the preceding timing rules, then by 5:00
p.m. NYC time on CREATION T, the Trustee will return to the Participant a copy

the Participant must transfer in exchange for the Basket(s).
