CREATION PROCEDURES

Section 2.02.  Subsequent Creation of Shares.  After the Initial Creation, the issuance and Delivery of Shares shall take place only in integral numbers of Baskets in compliance with the following rules:

 

(a) An Authorized Participant wishing to acquire from the Trust one or more Baskets (such Authorized Participant, a “Purchasing Authorized Participant”) shall place a Purchase Order with the Processing Agent on an Eligible Business Day.  Purchase Orders received by the Processing Agent prior to the Order Cut-Off Time on an Eligible Business Day shall have the date of such Eligible Business Day as the “Order Date”.  Purchase Orders received by the Processing Agent on or after the Order Cut-Off Time on an Eligible Business Day, on a Business Day other than an Eligible Business Day, or on a day other than a Business Day, shall be considered received at the opening of business on the next Eligible Business Day and shall have as their Order Date the date of such next Eligible Business Day.

 

(b) For purposes of paragraph “a” above, a Purchase Order shall be deemed “received” by the Processing Agent only when each of the following has occurred:

 

(i) An Authorized Representative of the Purchasing Authorized Participant shall have placed a telephone call to the Creation and Redemption Line informing the Processing Agent that such Purchasing Authorized Participant wishes to place a Purchase Order for a specified number of Baskets (the “Requested Baskets”); and

 

(ii) The Processing Agent shall have sent, via facsimile or electronic mail message, an affirmation to the Purchasing Authorized Participant that a Purchase Order for a specified number of Baskets has been received by the Processing Agent from an Authorized Representative for such Purchasing Authorized Participant’s account.

 

 (c) With respect to each Requested Basket specified in a Purchase Order, the Purchasing Authorized Participant shall deposit with the Settlement Agent in immediately available funds the corresponding Deposit Amount not later than 6:00 p.m. (New York time) of the next Business Day following the Order Date or by the end of such later Business Day, not to exceed three Business Days after the Order Date, as agreed to between the Authorized Participant and the Settlement Agent when the Purchase Order is placed, and give notice of such deposit to the Settlement Agent via facsimile or electronic mail message.  The Settlement Agent shall confirm receipt of such Deposit Amount to the Purchasing Authorized Participant via facsimile or electronic mail message.  A Purchase Order shall be deemed automatically cancelled if the Settlement Agent has not received the corresponding Deposit Amount in immediately available funds on a timely basis, as described in this paragraph. 

 

 (d) The Sponsor shall have the absolute right to reject any Purchase Order including, without limitation, (i) Purchase Orders that the Processing Agent has determined are not in proper form, (ii) Purchase Orders that the Sponsor has determined would have adverse tax or other consequences to the Trust or to the owners of Shares, (iii) Purchase Orders the acceptance of which would, in the opinion of counsel to the Sponsor result in a violation of law, (iv) Purchase Orders in respect of which the Settlement Agent has not received in immediately available funds the corresponding Deposit Amount by 6:00 p.m. (New York time) of the next Business Day following the Order Date or by the end of such later Business Day, not to exceed three Business Days after the Order Date, as agreed to between the Authorized Participant and the Settlement Agent when the Purchase Order is placed, or (v) Purchase Orders received during any period in which circumstances make transactions in, or settlement or Delivery of, Shares or components of the Portfolio impossible or impractical.  None of the Sponsor, the Processing Agent, the Trust or any of their agents shall be liable to any person for rejecting a Purchase Order. 

 

  

Sch. I-3

  

 

 (e) The Sponsor may suspend the creation of Baskets, or postpone the Issue Date of a Purchase Order, for as long as it considers necessary for any reason.  None of the Sponsor, the Processing Agent, the Trust or any of their agents will be liable to any person for such suspension or postponement. 

 

 (f) Prior to the transmission by the Processing Agent via facsimile or electronic mail message of confirmation of acceptance thereof, a Purchase Order will only represent the Purchasing Authorized Participant’s unilateral offer to purchase the Required Baskets specified in such Purchase Order and will have no binding effect upon the Trust, the Processing Agent or any other party.  Upon the Settlement Agent’s receipt of the aggregate Deposit Amount corresponding to a Purchase Order as provided in paragraph “(c)” above, the Purchasing Authorized Participant’s offer to purchase the Required Baskets specified in such Purchase Order shall become irrevocable. 

 

 (g) By 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day following the Issue Date of a Purchase Order, the Trust shall issue the aggregate number of Shares corresponding to the Requested Baskets specified in such Purchase Order and Deliver them by credit to the account at DTC which the Purchasing Authorized Participant shall have identified for such purpose in written instructions to the Settlement Agent, together with immediately available funds in an amount equal to the positive difference, if any, between (1) the aggregate Deposit Amount deposited by the Purchasing Authorized Participant in respect of all Requested Baskets specified in such Purchase Order and (2) the sum of (x) the aggregate Order Execution Price of all Requested Baskets specified in such Purchase Order, and (y) the Transaction Fee applicable to such Purchase Order (without, for the avoidance of doubt, any interest on any such amount), provided that, if the aggregate Deposit Amount deposited by the Purchasing Authorized Participant in respect of all Requested Baskets specified in such Purchase Order does not suffice to cover the aggregate Order Execution Price of all Requested Baskets specified in such Purchase Order together with the Transaction Fee applicable to such Purchase Order, the Trust shall issue Shares as set forth above if, and only if, by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day following the Issue Date of such Purchase Order: 

 

(i) the Settlement Agent has received from the Purchasing Authorized Participant in immediately available funds cash in an amount per Requested Basket equal to the positive difference between (1) the sum of (x) the aggregate Order Execution Price of all Requested Baskets specified in such Purchase Order and (y) the Transaction Fee applicable to such Purchase Order, and (2) the aggregate Deposit Amount deposited by the Purchasing Authorized Participant in respect of all Requested Baskets specified in such Purchase Order; and

 

(ii) any other conditions to the issuance under the Trust Agreement have been satisfied.

 

 (h) In the event that, by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day following the Issue Date of a Purchase Order, a Purchasing Authorized Participant (such Purchasing Authorized Participant, a “Defaulting Authorized Participant”) has failed to deposit with the Settlement Agent the amount described in sub-clause “(g)(i)” above, the Trust may, in consultation with the Sponsor: 

 

(i) cancel such Purchase Order by sending via fax or electronic mail message notice of such cancellation to the Purchasing Authorized Participant, liquidate any trading positions entered into by the Trust in connection with such Purchase Order and transfer to the Defaulting Authorized Participant, in full repayment of the aggregate Deposit Amount deposited by such Defaulting Authorized Participant in respect of all Requested Baskets specified in such Purchase Order, the lower of (1) the proceeds of such liquidation, and (2) the aggregate Deposit Amount deposited by such Defaulting Authorized Participant in respect of all Requested Baskets specified in such Purchase Order (without, for the avoidance of doubt, any interest thereon), in either case net of (x) the Transaction Fee applicable to such Purchase Order and (y) such additional amounts as the Trust, in consultation with the Sponsor, may deem appropriate to compensate the Trust for all damages, costs and expenses (including brokerage fees and commissions) incurred in connection with such Purchase Order; or

 

(ii) take such other action as the Trust, in consultation with the Sponsor, may deem necessary or appropriate under the circumstances, it being understood and agreed that in making a decision regarding any such other action the Trust and the Sponsor shall be required to take into account the best interests of the Trust and its shareholders only and shall have no duty to ameliorate or mitigate any damages of the Defaulting Authorized Participant.

 

(i) In all other cases, the Trust shall issue the aggregate number of Requested Shares specified in a Purchase Order and Deliver them by credit to the account at DTC which the Purchasing Authorized Participant shall have identified for such purpose in written instructions to the Settlement Agent on the Business Day on which the conditions set forth in clauses “(g)(i)” and “(g)(ii)” above shall have been met.

ARTICLE III

 

REDEMPTION PROCEDURES

 

Section 3.01.  Redemption of Shares.  Redemptions of Shares shall take place only in integral numbers of Baskets in compliance with the following rules:

 

(a) An Authorized Participant wishing to redeem one or more Baskets (such Authorized Participant, a “Redeeming Authorized Participant”) shall place a Redemption Order with the Processing Agent on an Eligible Business Day.  Redemption Orders received by the Processing Agent prior to the Order Cut-Off Time on an Eligible Business Day shall have the date of such Eligible Business Day as the “Order Date”.  Redemption Orders received by the Processing Agent on or after the Order Cut-Off Time on an Eligible Business Day, on a Business Day other than an Eligible Business Day, or on a day other than a Business Day, shall be considered received at the opening of business on the next Eligible Business Day and shall have as their Order Date the date of such next Eligible Business Day.

 

(b) For purposes of paragraph “a” above, a Redemption Order shall be deemed “received” by the Processing Agent only when each of the following has occurred:

 

(i) An Authorized Representative of the Redeeming Authorized Participant shall have placed a telephone call to the Creation and Redemption Line informing the Processing Agent that such Redeeming Authorized Participant wishes to place a Redemption Order for a specified number of Baskets (the “Redeemed Baskets”); and

 

(ii) The Processing Agent shall have sent, via facsimile or electronic mail message, an affirmation to the Redeeming Authorized Participant that a Redemption Order for a specified number of Baskets has been received by the Processing Agent from an Authorized Representative for such Redeeming Authorized Participant’s account.

 

 (c) With respect to each Redeemed Basket specified in a Redemption Order, the Redeeming Authorized Participant shall, not later than 6:00 p.m. (New York time) of the next Business Day following the Order Date or by the end of such later Business Day, not to exceed three Business Days after the Order Date, as agreed to between the Authorized Participant and the Settlement Agent when the Redemption Order is placed, confirm in writing to the Settlement Agent that the Shares comprising the Redeeming Baskets have been transferred by the Redeeming Authorized Participant from its account at DTC to the Settlement Agent’s account at DTC.  A Redemption Order shall be deemed automatically cancelled if the Redeeming Authorized Participant has not complied with this paragraph on a timely basis. 

 

 (d) The Sponsor shall have the absolute right to reject any Redemption Order, including without limitation, (i) Redemption Orders that the Processing Agent has determined are not in proper form, (ii) Redemption Orders the acceptance of which would, in the opinion of counsel to the Sponsor result in a violation of law, (iii) Redemption Orders in respect of which the Redeeming Authorized Participant has not complied with the provisions of paragraph “(c)” above by 6:00 p.m. (New York time) of the next Business Day following the Order Date or by the end of such later Business Day, not to exceed three Business Days after the Order Date, as agreed to between the Authorized Participant and the Settlement Agent when the redemption order is placed, or (iv) Redemption Orders received during any period in which circumstances make transactions in, or settlement or Delivery of, Shares or components of the Portfolio impossible or impractical.  None of the Sponsor, the Processing Agent, the Trust or any of their agents shall be liable to any person for rejecting a Redemption Order. 

 

 (e) The Sponsor may, in its discretion, suspend the right of redemption, or postpone the Redemption Date of a Redemption Order, (1) for any period during which NYSE Arca or any exchange on which the Trust’s assets are regularly traded is closed other than for customary weekend or holiday closings, or trading is suspended or restricted, (2) for any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which the delivery, disposal or evaluation of the Trust’s assets is not reasonably practicable, or (3) for such other period as the Processing Agent determines to be necessary for the protection of owners of the Shares.  None of the Sponsor, the Processing Agent, the Trust or any of their agents will be liable to any person for such suspension or postponement. 

 

 (f) Prior to the transmission by the Processing Agent via facsimile or electronic mail message of confirmation of acceptance thereof, a Redemption Order will only represent the Redeeming Authorized Participant’s unilateral offer to surrender for redemption the Redeemed Baskets specified in such Redemption Order and will have no binding effect upon the Trust, the Processing Agent or any other party.  Upon the Redeeming Authorized Participant’s transfer of Shares to the Settlement Agent’s account at DTC, as provided in paragraph “(c)” above, the Redeeming Authorized Participant’s offer to surrender for redemption the Redeemed Baskets specified in a Redemption Order shall become irrevocable. 

 

(g) Provided that by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Redemption Date of a Redemption Order:

 

 (i) the Redeeming Authorized Participant has (1) Delivered to the Settlement Agent’s account at DTC the total number of Shares comprising the Redeemed Baskets specified in such Redemption Order and (2) paid the Transaction Fee applicable to such Redemption Order; and 

 

 (ii) any other conditions to the Redemption under the Trust Agreement have been satisfied, the Settlement Agent will, on such day, credit the account of the Redeeming Authorized Participant at DTC with immediately available funds in an amount equal to the aggregate Order Execution Price corresponding to the total number of Redeemed Baskets specified in such Redemption Order (the “Redemption Distribution”). 

 

  

Sch. I-5

  

 

 (h) In the event that, by 6:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Redemption Date of a Redemption Order, the Settlement Agent’s account at DTC shall not have been credited with the total number of Shares comprising the Redeemed Baskets specified in such Redemption Order, the Trust will, 

 

 (i) deliver the Redemption Distribution but only to the extent of whole Redeemed Baskets received; and any remainder of the Redemption Distribution will be delivered on the next Business Day after the Redemption Date to the extent of remaining whole Redeemed Baskets received if the Settlement Agent receives a fee applicable to the extension of the Redemption Date which the Processing Agent may, from time to time, determine and the remaining Redeemed Baskets to be redeemed are credited to the Trust’s DTC account on such next Business Day; and 

 

 (ii) any further outstanding amount of the Redemption Order will be cancelled. 

 

 (i) Pursuant to information from the Sponsor, the Settlement Agent will be authorized to deliver the Deposit Amount notwithstanding that the Redeemed Baskets are not credited to the Trust’s DTC account by 1:15 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day following the Order Date or by the end of such later Business Day, not to exceed three Business Days after the Order Date, as agreed to between the Redeeming Authorized Participant and the Settlement Agent when the Redemption Order is placed, if the Redeeming Authorized Participant has collateralized its obligation to deliver the Redeemed Baskets through DTC’s book entry-system on such terms as the Sponsor may from time to time determine. 

 

 (j) In all other cases, the Settlement Agent will pay the cash consideration corresponding to the total number of Baskets redeemed, net of the corresponding Transaction Fee, on the Business Day on which the conditions set forth in clauses “(g)(i)” and “(g)(ii)” above shall have been met.

ARTICLE 1

ORDERS FOR PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION

 

Section 1.01.  Authorization to Purchase and Redeem Baskets.  Subject to the provisions of the Authorized Participant Agreement, during the term of the Authorized Participant Agreement the Authorized Participant will be authorized to purchase and redeem Baskets of Shares in compliance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement and the Procedures.

 

Section 1.02.  Procedures for Orders.  Each party hereto agrees to comply with the provisions of the Trust Agreement and the Procedures to the extent applicable to it.

 

Section 1.03.  Consent to Recording.  The phone lines used by the Trust, the Processing Agent, the Settlement Agent or their affiliated persons may be recorded, and the Authorized Participant hereby consents to the recording of all calls with any of those parties.

 

Section 1.04.  Irrevocability.  The Authorized Participant agrees on behalf of itself and any Authorized Participant Client that delivery to the Processing Agent of an Order shall be irrevocable; provided that each of the Trust and the Sponsor reserves the right to reject any Order in compliance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement and the Procedures.

 

Section 1.05.  Costs and Expenses.  The Authorized Participant shall be responsible for any and all expenses and costs incurred by the Trust in connection with any Orders, including, without limitation, any transaction fees or interest or funding cost incurred by the Trust in connection with the Authorized Participant’s failure to timely settle any Order.

 

Section 1.06.  Delivery of Consideration to the Trust.  The Authorized Participant understands and agrees that in the event corresponding cash consideration is not transferred to the Trust by the time specified in the Purchase Order and in compliance with the Procedures and the Trust Agreement, a Purchase Order may be cancelled by the Processing Agent and the Authorized Participant will be solely responsible for all costs incurred by the Trust related to the cancelled Order.

 

Section 1.07.  Title to Shares Surrendered for Redemption.  The Authorized Participant represents and warrants to the Trust that in connection with a Redemption Order, the Authorized Participant will have full power and authority to surrender to the Settlement Agent for redemption the corresponding Shares, and upon such surrender the Trust will acquire good and unencumbered title to such Shares, free and clear of all liens, charges, duties imposed on the transfer of assets and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claims, transferability restrictions (whether arising by operation of law or otherwise), loan, pledge, repurchase or securities lending agreements or other arrangements which would preclude the delivery of such Shares on a “regular way” basis.

 

Section 1.08.  Certain Payments or Distributions.  With respect to any Redemption Order, the Authorized Participant on behalf of itself and any Authorized Participant Client acknowledges and agrees to return to the Trust any payment, distribution or other amount paid to it or an Authorized Participant Client in respect of any property transferred to the Authorized Participant or any Authorized Participant Client that, based on the valuation of such property at the time of transfer, should have been paid to the Trust.  The Trust is entitled to reduce the amount of any property due to the Authorized Participant or any Authorized Participant Client by an amount equal to any payment, distribution or other sum to be paid to the Authorized Participant or to the Authorized Participant Client in respect of any property transferred to the Authorized Participant or any Authorized Participant Client that, based on the valuation of such property at the time of transfer, should be paid to the Trust.  Likewise, the Trust acknowledges and agrees to return to the Authorized Participant or any Authorized Participant Client any payment, distribution or other amount paid to it in respect of any Shares transferred to the Trust that, based on the valuation of such Shares at the time of transfer, should have been paid to the Authorized Participant or such Authorized Participant Client.

 

ARTICLE II

AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES

 

Section 2.01.  Certification.  Concurrently with the execution of the Authorized Participant Agreement, and as requested from time to time by the Trust but no less frequently than annually, the Authorized Participant shall deliver to the Trust a certificate signed by the Authorized Participant’s Secretary or other duly authorized official setting forth the names, e-mail addresses and telephone and facsimile numbers of all persons authorized to give instructions relating to any activity contemplated hereby or any other notice, request or instruction on behalf of the Authorized Participant (each an “Authorized Representative”).  Such certificate may be accepted and relied upon by the Trust as conclusive evidence of the facts set forth therein and shall be considered to be in full force and effect until (i) receipt by the Trust of a superseding certificate in a form approved by the Trust bearing a subsequent date, or (ii) termination of the Authorized Participant Agreement.

 

  

Sch. 2-1

  

 

Section 2.02.  PIN Numbers.  The Processing Agent shall issue to each Authorized Participant a unique personal identification number (“PIN Number”) by which such Authorized Participant shall be identified and instructions issued by the Authorized Participant shall be authenticated.  The PIN Number shall be kept confidential and only provided to Authorized Representatives.  The Authorized Participant may revoke the PIN Number at any time upon written notice to the Processing Agent, and the Authorized Participant shall be responsible for doing so in the event that it becomes aware that an unauthorized person has received access to its PIN Number or has or intends to use the PIN Number in an unauthorized manner.  Upon receipt of such written request, the Processing Agent shall, as promptly as practicable, de-activate the PIN Number.  If an Authorized Participant’s PIN Number is changed, the new PIN Number will become effective on a date mutually agreed upon by the Authorized Participant and the Processing Agent.  The Authorized Participant agrees that, absent the Processing Agent’s fraud, willful misconduct or failure to cancel the PIN Number promptly following a written request to do so from the Authorized Participant or the termination of the Authorized Participant Agreement, none of the Trust, the Trustee or the Processing Agent shall be liable for losses incurred by the Authorized Participant as a result of unauthorized use of the Authorized Participant’s PIN Number prior to the time the Authorized Participant provides notice to the Processing Agent of the termination or revocation of authority pursuant to Section 2.03.

 

Section 2.03.  Termination of Authority.  Upon the termination or revocation of authority of an Authorized Representative by the Authorized Participant, the Authorized Participant shall (i) give immediate written notice of such fact to the Processing Agent and such notice shall be effective upon receipt by the Processing Agent; and (ii) request a new PIN Number.  The Processing Agent shall, as promptly as practicable, de-activate the PIN Number upon receipt of such written notice.

 

Section 2.04.  Verification.  The Processing Agent may assume that all instructions issued to it using the Authorized Participant’s PIN Number have been properly placed by Authorized Representatives, unless the Processing Agent has actual knowledge to the contrary or the Authorized Participant has revoked its PIN Number.  The Processing Agent shall have no duty to verify that an Order has been placed by an Authorized Representative.  The Authorized Participant agrees that the Processing Agent shall not be responsible for any losses incurred by the Authorized Participant as a result of an Authorized Representative identifying himself or herself as a different Authorized Representative or an unauthorized person identifying himself or herself as an Authorized Representative, unless the Processing Agent previously received from the Authorized Participant written notice to revoke its PIN Number.

 

ARTICLE III

STATUS OF THE AUTHORIZED PARTICIPANT

 

Section 3.01.  Clearing Status.  The Authorized Participant represents, covenants and warrants that, as of the date of execution of the Authorized Participant Agreement, and at all times during the term of the Authorized Participant Agreement, the Authorized Participant is and will be entitled to use the clearing and settlement services of each of the national clearing and settlement organizations through which, in compliance with the Procedures, the transactions contemplated hereby will clear and settle.  Any change in the foregoing status of the Authorized Participant shall terminate the Authorized Participant Agreement and the Authorized Participant shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Processing Agent.

 

Section 3.02.  Registration Status.  The Authorized Participant represents and warrants that, unless Section 3.03 is applicable to it, it is (i) registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) qualified to act as a broker or dealer in the states or other jurisdictions where it transacts business to the extent so required by applicable law, (iii) a member in good standing of FINRA and (iv) if required in connection with its activities hereunder, registered as a futures commission merchant and/or an introducing broker under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended and a member in good standing of the NFA in each relevant capacity.  The Authorized Participant agrees that it will maintain such registrations, qualifications, and membership in good standing and in full force and effect throughout the term of the Authorized Participant Agreement.  The Authorized Participant further agrees to comply with all federal laws, the laws of the states or other jurisdictions concerned, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable to the Authorized Participant’s transactions in Shares, and with the Constitution, By-Laws and Conduct Rules of FINRA applicable to its activities as an Authorized Participant, that it will comply with all rules and requirements applicable to NFA members, that it will not offer or sell Shares in any state or jurisdiction where they may not lawfully be offered and/or sold, and without limiting the foregoing that it will comply with any applicable transfer restrictions with respect to Shares set forth in the current Prospectus.

 

  

Sch. 2-2

  

 

Section 3.03.  Foreign Status.  If the Authorized Participant is offering and 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 FINRA or the NFA as set forth in the preceding paragraph, the Authorized Participant nevertheless agrees to observe the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which such offer and/or sale is made (e.g., it will not offer or sell Shares in any state or jurisdiction where they may not lawfully be offered and/or sold), to comply with the full disclosure requirements of the 1933 Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and to conduct its business in accordance with the spirit of the FINRA Conduct Rules and the rules and requirements applicable to NFA members.

 

Section 3.04.  Compliance with Certain Laws.  The Authorized Participant is in compliance with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act.

 

Section 3.05.  Authorized Participant Status.   The Authorized Participant understands and acknowledges that the method by which Baskets of Shares will be created and traded may raise certain issues under applicable securities laws.  For example, because new Baskets of Shares may be issued and sold by the Trust on an ongoing basis, at any point a “distribution”, as such term is used in the 1933 Act, may occur.  The Authorized Participant understands and acknowledges that some activities on its part, depending on the circumstances, may result in its being deemed a participant in a distribution in a manner which could render it a statutory underwriter and subject it to the prospectus delivery and liability provisions of the 1933 Act.

 

ARTICLE IV

ROLE OF AUTHORIZED PARTICIPANT

 

Section 4.01.  Independent Contractor.  The Authorized Participant acknowledges and agrees that for all purposes of the Authorized Participant Agreement, the Authorized Participant will be deemed to be an independent contractor, and will have no authority to act as agent for the Trust or the Trustee in any matter or in any respect.  The Authorized Participant agrees to make itself and its employees available, upon request, during normal business hours to consult with the Trust, the Sponsor or their designees concerning the performance of the Authorized Participant’s responsibilities under the Authorized Participant Agreement; provided, however, that the Authorized Participant shall be under no obligation to divulge or otherwise disclose any information that the Authorized Participant reasonably believes (i) it is under legal obligation not to disclose, or (ii) it is confidential or proprietary in nature.

 

Section 4.02.  Rights and Obligations of DTC Participant.  In executing the Authorized Participant Agreement, the Authorized Participant agrees in connection with any purchase or redemption transactions in which it acts for an Authorized Participant Client or for any other DTC Participant or indirect participant, or any other person on whose behalf it holds Shares, that it shall extend to any such party all of the rights, and shall be bound by all of the obligations, of a DTC Participant in addition to any obligations that it undertakes hereunder or under the Procedures.

 

Section 4.03.  Beneficial Owner Communications.  The Authorized Participant agrees, subject to any limitations arising under federal or state securities laws relating to privacy or other obligations it may have to its customers, to assist the Trust or the Sponsor in determining the ownership level of each beneficial owner relating to positions in Shares that the Authorized Participant may hold as record holder or that may be held through the Authorized Participant as a DTC Participant.  In addition, the Authorized Participant agrees, in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, at the request of the Sponsor or the Trustee to forward to such beneficial owners written materials and communications received from the requesting party in sufficient quantities to allow mailing thereof to such beneficial owners, including notices, annual reports, disclosure or other informational materials and any amendments or supplements thereto that may be required to be sent by the Sponsor or the Trust to such beneficial owners pursuant to the Trust Agreement or applicable law or regulation, or that the Sponsor or the Trust reasonably wishes to distribute, at its own expense, to such beneficial owners.

The Authorized Participant will act as an agent of the Trust in collecting and holding such forms or documentation, and annually will provide a copy of such forms to the Trust or its agent.  Upon reasonable request by the Trust or its agent, the Authorized Participant will provide the originals of such forms or documentation to the extent held by the Authorized Participant at that time and will assist the Trust in obtaining such original forms or documentation (or, to the extent originals are not available, copies thereof) from investors or other nominees to the extent not held by the Authorized Participant.  The provisions of this Section 5.01(c) of the Authorized Participant Agreement are subject to, and may be modified by, any agreements between the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, and an Authorized Participant separate and apart from the Authorized Participant Agreement, that provide otherwise.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Authorized Participant may, without the written approval of the Sponsor, prepare and circulate in the regular course of its business reports, research or similar materials, in compliance with applicable FINRA and NFA rules, that include information, opinions or recommendations relating to the Shares (i) for public dissemination, provided that such reports, research or similar materials compare the relative merits and benefits of Shares with other products and are not used for purposes of marketing Shares and (ii) for internal use by the Authorized Participant.

 

Section 6.02.  Prospectus.

 

(a) The Sponsor will provide, or cause to be provided, to the Authorized Participant copies of the then current Prospectus and any printed supplemental information in reasonable quantities upon request.  The Sponsor will notify the Authorized Participant when a revised, supplemented or amended Prospectus for Shares is available, and make available to the Authorized Participant copies of such revised, supplemented or amended Prospectus at such time and in such quantities as may be reasonable to permit the Authorized Participant to comply with any obligation the Authorized Participant may have to deliver such Prospectus to its customers.  The Sponsor shall be deemed to have complied with this Section 6.02 when the Authorized Participant has received such revised, supplemented or amended Prospectus by e-mail, in printable form, with such number of hard copies as may be agreed from time to time by the parties promptly thereafter.
