If a Swap Obligation arises under a master agreement governing more than one swap, such exclusion shall apply only to the portion of such Swap Obligation that is attributable to swaps for which such Guarantee or security interest is or becomes illegal.”

 

“           “Qualified ECP Guarantor” means, in respect of any Swap Obligation, each Grantor that has total assets exceeding $10,000,000 at the time the relevant guaranty, keepwell, or grant of the relevant security interest becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation or such other person as constitutes an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder and can cause another person to qualify as an “eligible contract participant” at such time by entering into a keepwell under Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.”

 

“           “Swap Obligation” means, with respect to any Guarantor, any obligation to pay or perform under any agreement, contract, or transaction that constitutes a “swap” within the meaning of Section 1a(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act.”

(2)  

	
by replacing the phrase “including the enforcement of any collateral for such Obligations” with the phrase “including the enforcement of any collateral for such Guarantied Obligations”; and

Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Grantor to guaranty and otherwise honor all Obligations in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 2(j) for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 2(j), or otherwise under the Loan Documents, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).  The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 2(j) constitute, and this Section 2(j) shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Grantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.”

6. Release.  Each Loan Party hereby waives and releases any and all current existing claims, counterclaims, defenses, or set-offs of every kind and nature which it has or might have against Agent or any Lender arising out of, pursuant to, or pertaining in any way to the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty and Security Agreement, any and all documents and instruments delivered in connection with or relating to the foregoing, or this Amendment.  Each Loan Party hereby further covenants and agrees not to sue Agent or any Lender or assert any claims, defenses, demands, actions, or liabilities against Agent or any Lender which occurred prior to or as of the date of this Amendment arising out of, pursuant to, or pertaining in any way to the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty and Security Agreement, any and all documents and instruments delivered in connection with or relating to the foregoing, or this Amendment.

(d) Each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” or words of like import, and each reference to the Credit Agreement in any and all instruments or documents delivered in connection therewith, will be deemed to refer to the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment.

(e) This Amendment is a Loan Document.  Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that Agent’s reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in drafting this Amendment and in amending the Loan Documents as provided in this Amendment constitute Lender Group Expenses.

the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any Trustee Indemnified Party. Such indemnity shall include payment
from the applicable Trust Estate or Trust Estates of the costs and expenses incurred by such Trustee Indemnified Party in
defending itself against any claim or liability in its capacity as a Trustee Indemnified Party. Any amounts payable to a
Trustee Indemnified Party under this Section 2.4 may be payable in advance or may be secured by a lien on the
applicable Trust Estate or Trust Estates. Any such Expenses relating to the Trust rather than any particular Fund shall be
allocated among the Funds as set forth in Section 3.6 hereof. The indemnities contained in this Section 2.4 shall survive
the termination of this Trust Agreement, the removal or resignation of the Trustee, the dissolution or other cessation to
exist of the Trustee Indemnified Party, the withdrawal, adjudication of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Trustee

    	12

    	 

    

Indemnified Party, or the filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy
under the Bankruptcy Code by or against the Trustee Indemnified Party.

Section
2.5. Successor Trustee. Upon the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Sponsor shall, within thirty (30)
Business Days of receipt of a resignation notice from the Trustee or from the date the Sponsor removes the Trustee, appoint a successor
trustee by delivering a written instrument to the outgoing Trustee. Any successor trustee must satisfy the requirements of section
3807 of the DSTA. Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee shall not become effective until
a written acceptance of appointment is delivered by the successor trustee to the outgoing Trustee and the Sponsor and any fees
and expenses due to the outgoing Trustee are paid or waived by the outgoing Trustee. Following compliance with the preceding sentence,
the successor trustee shall become fully vested with all of the rights, powers, duties, obligations and responsibilities of the
outgoing Trustee under this Trust Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee, and the outgoing Trustee shall
be discharged of its duties, obligations and responsibilities under this Trust Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any business
entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a merging, converting or consolidating party, or any entity succeeding
to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall, subject to the requirement that any successor
meet the requirements of section 3807 of the DSTA, be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of
any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

Section
2.6. Liability of Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in this Article II, in accepting the trust continued
hereby, Wilmington Trust, N.A. acts solely as trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity, and all Persons having any
claim against Wilmington Trust, N.A. by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Trust Agreement and any other agreement
to which the Trust is a party shall look only to the appropriate Fund’s Trust Estate for payment or satisfaction thereof.
The Trustee shall not be liable or accountable hereunder to the Trust or to any other Person or under any other agreement to which
the Trust is a party, except for the Trustee’s own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. In particular, but
not by way of limitation:

(a) The Trustee
shall have no liability or responsibility for the validity or sufficiency of this Trust Agreement or for the form, character, genuineness,
sufficiency, value or validity of any Trust Estate.

(b) The Trustee
shall not be liable for any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the instructions of the Sponsor.

(c) The Trustee
shall not have any liability for the acts or omissions of the Sponsor or its delegatees.

(d) The Trustee
shall not have any duty, obligation or responsibility to, or liability for its failure to, supervise the performance of any duties,
obligations or responsibilities of the Sponsor or its delegates, any Authorized Participant or any other Person.

    	13

    	 

    

(e) No provision
of this Trust Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial risk or liability
in the performance of any of its rights, powers, duties, obligations or responsibilities hereunder if the Trustee shall have reasonable
grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured
or provided to it.

(f) Under no circumstances
shall the Trustee be liable for indebtedness evidenced by, or other obligations or liabilities of the Trust or any Fund arising
under, this Trust Agreement or any other agreements to which the Trust is a party.

(g) The Trustee
shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement, or to appear in, institute,
conduct or defend any action or litigation under this Trust Agreement or any other agreements to which the Trust is a party, at
the request, order or direction of the Sponsor unless the Sponsor has offered to Wilmington Trust, N.A. (in its capacity as trustee
and individually) security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the Expenses that may be incurred by Wilmington Trust, N.A.
(in its individual capacity as trustee and individually) therein or thereby.

(h) The Trustee
shall not be required to take any action hereunder or otherwise if the Trustee shall have reasonably determined, or shall have
been advised by counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Trustee or is contrary to the terms
hereof or is otherwise contrary to law.

(i) Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall not be required to take any action in any jurisdiction other than
in the State of Delaware if the taking of such action will require the consent, approval, authorization or order of, or the giving
of notice to, or the registration with or taking of any action with respect to, any state or other governmental authority or agency
of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware; result in any fee, tax or other governmental charge under the laws of any
jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof in existence as of the date hereof other than the State of Delaware becoming
payable by the Trustee; or subject the Trustee to personal jurisdiction, other than in the State of Delaware, for causes of action
arising from personal acts unrelated to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Trustee.

(j) To the extent that
the Trustee has duties (at law (statutory or common) or in equity), implied or otherwise (including fiduciary duties), or obligations,
liabilities or responsibilities to the Trust, the Sponsor, any Fund, any Shareholder or any other Person with respect to the business
and affairs of the Trust or any Fund, the Trustee acting under this Trust Agreement shall not be liable to the Trust, the Sponsor,
such Fund or such other Person for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The provisions of this Trust
Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties (at law (statutory or common) or in equity), implied or otherwise (including
fiduciary duties), or obligations, liabilities or responsibilities, of the Trustee otherwise existing, are agreed by the parties
hereto to replace such other duties, obligations, liabilities and responsibilities of the Trustee.

(k) The Trustee shall
incur no liability if, by reason of any provision of any present or future law (statutory or common) or regulation thereunder,
or by any force majeure event,

    	14

    	 

    

including but not limited to natural disaster,
war or other circumstances beyond its reasonable control, the Trustee shall be prevented or forbidden from doing or performing
any act or thing which the terms of this Trust Agreement provide shall or may be done or performed, or by reason of any exercise
of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in this Trust Agreement.

(l) In no event
shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including,
but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage
and regardless of the form of action.

(m) In order to
comply with the laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including
those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering (collectively, “Applicable Regulations”),
the Trustee, is required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a
business relationship with the Trustee. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide the Trustee, upon its request from time
to time, such identifying information and documentation as may be necessary in order to enable the Trustee to comply with such
Applicable Regulations. It is expressly agreed that the Trustee shall have no duty to perform any services hereunder for, on behalf
of or for the benefit of, any Person not having furnished such information as the Trustee, in its sole and absolute discretion,
determines to be necessary to comply with the Applicable Regulations.

(n) Whenever the
Trustee is in good faith unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Trust
Agreement or any written instruction delivered pursuant to the terms hereof, or is unsure as to the application, intent, interpretation
or meaning of any provision of this Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate
under the circumstances) to the Sponsor requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted and, to the extent an instruction
from the Sponsor is provided to the Trustee and the Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with such instruction received, the
Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Trustee shall not have received appropriate instructions
within ten (10) days of sending such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice
to be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action which is
consistent, in its view, with this Trust Agreement, and the Trustee shall have no liability to any Person for any such action or
inaction.

The provisions of
this Section 2.6 shall survive resignation or removal of the Trustee and the termination of this Trust Agreement.

Section
2.7. Payments to the Trustee. Any amounts paid to the Trustee from any Trust Estate pursuant to this Article
II shall be deemed not to be a part of such Trust Estate immediately after such payment.

    	15

    	 

    

ARTICLE III

FUNDS; SHARES

Section
3.1. General.

(a) The Sponsor
shall have the exclusive power and authority, without Shareholder approval, to create one or more Funds, from time to time as it
deems necessary or desirable. The principal terms of each Fund shall be as set forth in the Formation Instrument with respect to
such Fund. Each Fund will issue Shares in a pair of offsetting classes (each, a “Class”), where one constituent
of the pair is positively linked to the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Index (“Up Shares”) and the
other constituent is negatively linked to the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Index (“Down Shares”).
Each Fund shall be separate from the Trust and all other Funds with respect to the assets and liabilities allocated to that Fund.
The Sponsor shall have exclusive power without the requirement of Shareholder approval to establish and designate such separate
and distinct Funds, including as set forth in Section 3.2 hereof, and to fix and determine in its sole and absolute discretion
the relative rights, powers and preferences as between the Shares of the Funds as to right of redemption, special and relative
rights as to dividends and other distributions and on liquidation, conversion rights, and conditions under which the Funds shall
have separate voting rights or no voting rights.

(b) The number of
Shares authorized for each Fund shall be unlimited and without par value. From time to time, the Sponsor may divide or combine
the Shares of any Class of any Fund into a greater or lesser number without thereby changing the proportionate beneficial interests
in the Fund thereof. The Sponsor may issue Shares of any Fund for such consideration and on such terms as it may determine in its
sole and absolute discretion (or for no consideration if pursuant to a Share distribution, dividend or forward share split), all
without action or approval of the Shareholders thereof. All Shares when so issued on the terms determined by the Sponsor shall
be fully paid and non-assessable. The Trust may hold as treasury Shares, reissue for such consideration and on such terms as
the Sponsor may determine, or cancel, at the Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion from time to time, any Shares of any
Fund reacquired by the Trust. Unless otherwise determined by the Sponsor, treasury Shares shall not be deemed cancelled.

(c) Other than the
applicable Global Securities issued to the Depository, no certificates or other evidence of beneficial ownership of the Shares
will be issued.

(d) Every Shareholder,
by virtue of having purchased or otherwise acquired a Share of any Fund, shall be deemed to have expressly consented and agreed
to be bound by the terms of this Trust Agreement and any Series Supplement with respect thereto.

(e) Except to the
extent otherwise provided in the Formation Instrument with respect to such Fund, the Shares of each Class of each Fund shall represent
an equal proportionate interest in the value of such Fund’s Trust Estate attributable to such Class (subject to the liabilities
held with respect to such Fund and attributable to such Class and such rights, powers and preferences as may have been established
and designated with respect to Shares within such Class).

    	16

    	 

    

(f) The Sponsor
shall have the authority to provide that the holders of Shares of any Fund shall have the right to exchange said Shares for Shares
of one or more other Funds in conformity with such requirements and procedures as may be established by the Sponsor.

Section
3.2. Establishment of Initial Funds.

(a) Without limiting
the authority of the Sponsor set forth in Section 3.1(a) hereof to establish and designate any further Funds, the Sponsor hereby
establishes and designates seven initial Funds (the “Initial Funds”) as follows:

AccuShares S&P GSCI Spot Fund

AccuShares S&P GSCI Agriculture and Livestock
Spot Fund

AccuShares S&P GSCI Industrial Metals Spot
Fund

AccuShares S&P GSCI Crude Oil Spot Fund

AccuShares S&P GSCI Brent Oil Spot Fund

AccuShares S&P GSCI Natural Gas Spot Fund

AccuShares Spot CBOE VIX Fund

 

The provisions of
this Article III shall be applicable to the above-designated Funds and any further Fund that may from time to time be established
and designated by the Sponsor as provided in Section 3.1(a) hereof; provided, however, that such provisions may be amended, varied
or abrogated by the Sponsor with respect to any Fund in the Series Supplement creating such Fund or in Article IV of this Trust
Agreement with respect to the Initial Funds.

(b) The establishment
and designation of any Fund other than those set forth above shall be effective upon the execution by the Sponsor of a Series Supplement,
or as otherwise provided in such Series Supplement. At any time that there are no Shares outstanding of any particular Fund previously
established and designated, the Sponsor may by an instrument executed by it abolish and terminate that Fund and the establishment
and designation thereof. Each Series Supplement referred to in this paragraph shall have the status of an amendment to this Trust
Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, no Series Supplement may alter the rights, powers, duties, immunities or protections of the
Trustee without the Trustee’s written consent.

Section
3.3. Offer of Shares, Procedures for Creation and Issuance of Creation Units.

(a) General.
The procedures specified in the applicable Authorized Participant Agreement for each Fund will govern the Trust with respect to
the creation and issuance of Creation Units. Subject to the limitations upon and requirements for issuance of Creation Units stated
herein and in such procedures, the number of Creation Units which may be issued by each Fund is unlimited.

(b) Deposit with
the Depository. On any Business Day, an Authorized Participant with respect to which an Authorized Participant Agreement is
in full force and effect (as reflected on the list maintained by the Sponsor pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof) may purchase one or
more Creation Units of a Fund standing to the credit of the Authorized Participant on the records of the Depository by delivering
a request for purchase to the Transfer Agent or, if no Transfer Agent has been appointed with respect to such Fund, the Sponsor
(such request, a “Purchase Order”) in

    	17

    	 

    

the manner specified in the procedures
specified in the Authorized Participant Agreement. Upon delivery of all purchase consideration for one or more Creation Units of
a Fund (as governed by the applicable Authorized Participant Agreement and for such consideration as set forth therein) pursuant
to the Purchase Order, and the issuance of such Creation Unit(s), the Sponsor will cause the Trust to deposit the Creation Unit(s)
with the Depository in accordance with the Depository’s customary procedures, for credit to the account of the Authorized
Participant that submitted the Purchase Order.

(c) Suspension
and Rejection of Purchase Orders. For each Fund, the Sponsor shall have the absolute right, but shall have no obligation, to
suspend the right to purchase any Creation Unit, or postpone any Purchase Order settlement date: (i) for any period during which
the Exchange is closed or when trading is suspended or restricted on the Exchange; (ii) for any period during which an emergency
exists as a result of which the fulfillment of a Purchase Order is not reasonably practicable; or (iii) for such other period as
the Sponsor determines in its sole and absolute discretion to be necessary for the protection of the Shareholders of any Fund.
The Sponsor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Administrator and the Transfer Agent shall not be liable to any Person by reason of
the suspension of the right to purchase Creation Units or the postponement of any settlement date of any Purchase Order in the
circumstances listed in clauses (i) through (iii) in the preceding sentence. For each Fund, the Sponsor shall have the absolute
right, but shall have no obligation, to reject any Purchase Order: (i) determined by the Sponsor in its sole and absolute
discretion not to be in proper form; (ii) that the Sponsor has determined in its sole and absolute discretion would have adverse
consequences to any Fund or any Shareholders; (iii) the acceptance or receipt of which would, in the opinion of counsel to
the Sponsor, be unlawful; or (iv) if circumstances outside the control of the Sponsor make it, for all practical purposes,
not feasible to process Purchase Orders for Creation Units. The Sponsor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Administrator and the
Transfer Agent shall not be liable to any Person by reason of the rejection of any Purchase Order in the circumstances listed in
clauses (i) through (iv) in the preceding sentence.

(d) Creation
Transaction Fee. For each Fund, non-refundable transaction fees will be payable by an Authorized Participant to the Fund’s
Custodian in connection with each Purchase Order pursuant to this Section 3.3 (each, a “Creation Transaction Fee”).
The Creation Transaction Fees charged in connection with each such creation shall be as set forth in the applicable Authorized
Participant Agreement for such Fund. The Creation Transaction Fee may subsequently be waived, modified, reduced, increased or otherwise
changed by the Sponsor. The Sponsor shall notify the Depository of any agreement to change the Creation Transaction Fee and shall
not implement any increase for such period of time after that notice as is specified in the Authorized Participant Agreements for
an amendment to any such agreement to become effective following notice thereof to an Authorized Participant. Pursuant to the applicable
Authorized Participant Agreement, the Sponsor, in its sole and absolute discretion, may require additional payments in connection
with any Purchase Order. Any Creation Transaction Fees received in connection with any Purchase Order for a Fund shall not be considered
received by the Fund or to be a part of such Fund’s Trust Estate (and such Fund shall have no rights to such Creation Transaction
Fees) and may, among other things, be applied by the Sponsor to defray expenses incurred by the Fund’s service providers
in processing such transactions and the SEC registration fee expense borne directly by the Sponsor on behalf of the Trust and its
Funds.

    	18

    	 

    

(e)  Global Certificate
Only. Certificates for Creation Units or Shares will not be issued, other than the applicable Global Securities issued to the
Depository. So long as the Depository Agreement is in effect, Creation Units will be issued and redeemed and Shares will be transferable
solely through the book-entry systems of the Depository and the DTC Participants and their Indirect DTC Participants as more fully
described in Section 3.4 hereof. The Depository may determine to discontinue providing its service with respect to Creation Units
and Shares by giving notice to the Sponsor pursuant to and in conformity with the provisions of the Depository Agreement and discharging
its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. Under such circumstances, the Sponsor shall take action either
to find a replacement for the Depository to perform its functions at a comparable cost and on terms acceptable to the Sponsor or,
if such a replacement is unavailable, to terminate the Trust or any Fund, as applicable.

Section
3.4. Book-Entry-Only System, Fund Global Securities.

(a) Global Security.
The Trust and the Sponsor will enter into the Depository Agreement pursuant to which the Depository will act as securities depository
for Shares of each Fund. Shares of each Class will be represented by a Global Security (which may consist of one or more certificates
as required by the Depository), which will be registered, as the Depository shall direct, in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee
for the Depository and deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depository. No other certificates evidencing Shares will be issued.
The Global Security for each Fund’s Up Shares and Down Shares shall be in the form set forth in the Formation Instrument
with respect to such Fund or described therein, or in the case of the Initial Funds, as set forth in Article IV hereof, and each
such Global Security shall represent such Shares as shall be specified therein, and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate
amount of outstanding Shares of a Class from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Shares
represented thereby may from time to time be increased or decreased to reflect creations or redemptions of Baskets. Any endorsement
of a Global Security to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of outstanding Shares represented thereby
shall be made in such manner and upon instructions given by the Sponsor on behalf of the Trust as specified in the Depository Agreement.

(b) Legend.
Any Global Security issued to DTC or its nominee shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Unless this
certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”),
to the Trust or its agent 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 required 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.”

(c) The Depository.
The Depository has advised the Trust and the Sponsor as follows: The Depository is a limited-purpose trust company organized under
the laws of the State of New York, a member of the U.S. federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within
the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions
of section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Depository was created to hold securities of its authorized
participants (the “DTC

    	19

    	 

    

Participants”) and to
facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among the DTC Participants in such securities through electronic
book-entry changes in accounts of the DTC Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates.
DTC Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations,
some of whom (and/or their representatives) own the Depository. Access to the Depository’s system is also available to others
such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC Participant,
either directly or indirectly (“Indirect DTC Participants”).

(d) Beneficial
Owners. As provided in the Depository Agreement, upon the settlement date of any creation, transfer or redemption of Shares
of any Class, the Depository will credit or debit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the number of Shares so
created, transferred or redeemed to the accounts of the appropriate DTC Participants. The accounts to be credited and charged shall
be designated by the Sponsor on behalf of each Fund and each Authorized Participant, in the case of a creation or redemption of
Baskets. Ownership of beneficial interest in Shares will be limited to DTC Participants, Indirect DTC Participants and Persons
holding interests through DTC Participants and Indirect DTC Participants. Owners of beneficial interests in Shares (“Beneficial
Owners”) will be shown on, and the transfer of beneficial ownership by Beneficial Owners will be effected only through,
in the case of DTC Participants, records maintained by the Depository and, in the case of Indirect DTC Participants and
Beneficial Owners holding through a DTC Participant or an Indirect DTC Participant, through those records or the records of
the relevant DTC Participant. Beneficial Owners are expected to receive from or through the broker or bank that maintains the account
through which the Beneficial Owner has purchased Shares a written confirmation relating to their purchase of Shares.

(e) Reliance
on Procedures. So long as Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depository, is the registered owner of Shares, references herein
to the registered or record owners of Shares shall mean Cede & Co. and shall not mean the Beneficial Owners of Shares. Beneficial
Owners of Shares will not be entitled to have Shares registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical
delivery of certificates in definitive form and will not be considered the record or registered holder of Shares under this Trust
Agreement. Accordingly, to exercise any rights of a holder of Shares under this Trust Agreement, a Beneficial Owner must rely on
the procedures of the Depository and, if such Beneficial Owner is not a DTC Participant, on the procedures of each DTC Participant
or Indirect DTC Participant through which such Beneficial Owner holds its interests. The Trust and the Sponsor understand that
under existing industry practice, if the Trust or any Fund requests any action of a Beneficial Owner, or a Beneficial Owner desires
to take any action that the Depository, as the record owner of all outstanding Shares of such Fund, is entitled to take, in the
case of a Trustee request, the Depository will notify the DTC Participants regarding such request, and such DTC Participants will
in turn notify each Indirect DTC Participant holding Shares through it with each successive Indirect DTC Participant continuing
to notify each Person holding Shares through it until the request has reached the Beneficial Owner, and in the case of a request
or authorization to act being sought or given by a Beneficial Owner, such request or authorization is given by the Beneficial Owner
and relayed back to the Trust or such Fund through each Indirect DTC Participant and DTC Participant through which the Beneficial
Owner’s interest in the Shares is held.

    	20

    	 

    

(f)  Communication
between the Trust and the Beneficial Owners. As described above, the Trust and each Fund will recognize the Depository or its
nominee as the owner of all Shares for all purposes except as expressly set forth in this Trust Agreement. Conveyance of all notices,
statements and other communications to Beneficial Owners will be effected as follows. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, the
Depository is required to make available to each Fund upon request and for a fee to be charged to the Sponsor pursuant to Section
5.3(b) hereof a listing of the Share holdings of each DTC Participant. The Trust or such Fund shall inquire of each such DTC Participant
as to the number of Beneficial Owners holding Shares, directly or indirectly, through such DTC Participant. The Trust or such Fund
shall provide each such DTC Participant with sufficient copies of such notice, statement or other communication, in such form,
number and at such place as such DTC Participant may reasonably request, in order that such notice, statement or communication
may be transmitted by such DTC Participant, directly or indirectly, to such Beneficial Owners. In addition, pursuant to Section
5.3(b) hereof, the Sponsor shall pay to each such DTC Participant an amount as reimbursement for the expenses attendant to such
transmittal, all subject to applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.

(g) Distributions.
Distributions on Shares pursuant to Section 3.7 hereof shall be made to the Depository or its nominee, Cede & Co., as the registered
owner of all Shares. The Trust and the Sponsor expect that the Depository or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of distributions,
whether in cash or in Shares, in respect of Shares, shall credit immediately DTC Participants’ accounts with payments or
Shares, as applicable, in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in Shares as shown on the records of the
Depository or its nominee. The Trust and the Sponsor also expect that payments by DTC Participants to Indirect DTC Participants
and Beneficial Owners held through such DTC Participants and Indirect DTC Participants will be governed by standing instructions
and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in
a “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such DTC Participants and Indirect DTC Participants. None of the
Trust, any Fund, the Trustee or the Sponsor will have any responsibility or liability for any aspects of the records relating to
or notices to Beneficial Owners, or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in Shares, or for maintaining, supervising
or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests or for any other aspect of the relationship between the
Depository and the DTC Participants or the relationship between such DTC Participants and the Indirect DTC Participants and Beneficial
Owners owning through such DTC Participants or Indirect DTC Participants or between or among the Depository, any Beneficial Owner
and any Person by or through which such Beneficial Owner is considered to own Shares.

(h) Limitation
of Liability. Each Global Security to be issued hereunder is executed and delivered solely on behalf of the applicable Fund
by the Sponsor, as Sponsor, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it by this Trust Agreement. The
representations, undertakings and agreements made on the part of the Fund in each Global Security are made and intended not as
personal representations, undertakings and agreements by the Sponsor or the Trustee, but are made and intended for the purpose
of binding only such Fund. Nothing in the Global Security shall be construed as creating any liability of the Sponsor or the Trustee,
individually or personally, to fulfill any representation, undertaking or agreement other than as provided in this Trust Agreement.

    	21

    	 

    

(i)  Successor
Depository. If a successor to DTC shall be employed as Depository hereunder, the Trust and the Sponsor shall establish procedures
acceptable to such successor with respect to the matters addressed in this Section 3.4.

Section
3.5. Assets of the Funds. The Trust Estate of each Fund shall be held in separate and distinct accounts (directly
or indirectly, including through a nominee or otherwise) and accounted for in such separate and distinct records separately from
the other assets of the Trust and every other Fund and are referred to as “assets belonging to” that Fund. Except as
otherwise set forth herein, the assets belonging to a Fund shall belong only to that Fund for all purposes, and to no other Fund,
and shall be subject only to the rights of creditors of that Fund. Any assets, income, earnings, profits, funds, or payments, and
proceeds thereof which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Fund shall be allocated to and among one or
more Funds in such manner and on such basis as the Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion deems fair and equitable. Each such
allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders of all Funds for all purposes, and such assets, income, earnings,
profits, funds, or payments, and proceeds thereof, shall be referred to as assets belonging to that Fund. The assets belonging
to a Fund shall be so recorded upon the books of the Trust, and shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Shareholders of such
Fund. The assets belonging to a Fund shall be charged with the liabilities of such Fund and all expenses, costs, charges, indemnities
and reserves attributable to such Fund.

Section
3.6. Liabilities of the Funds.

(a) Except as otherwise
set forth herein, the debts, liabilities, obligations, expenses, costs, charges, interests, claims, indemnities and reserves of
any nature and all kinds and descriptions (“Claims”) incurred, contracted for, attributable to or otherwise
existing with respect to a particular Fund shall be enforceable against the assets of such Fund only, and not against the assets
of the Trust generally or of any other Fund and, unless otherwise provided by the Sponsor, none of the Claims incurred, contracted
for, attributable to or otherwise existing with respect to the Trust generally or any other Fund shall be enforceable against the
assets of such Fund. Any general Claims of the Trust which are not readily identifiable as being held with respect to any particular
Fund shall be allocated and charged by the Sponsor to and among any one or more of the Funds in such manner and on such basis as
the Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion deems fair and equitable. Notice of the contractual limitation on liabilities among
Funds described in the first sentence of this paragraph is set forth in the Certificate of Trust of the Trust (whether originally
or by amendment) as filed in the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to the DSTA, and the statutory
provisions of section 3804 of the DSTA relating to limitations on liabilities among series (and the statutory effect under section
3804 of the DSTA of setting forth such notice in the certificate of trust) are applicable to the Trust and each Fund. Any Person
extending credit to, contracting with or having any claim against any Fund may look only to the assets of such Fund to satisfy
or enforce any Claim with respect to such Fund. No Shareholder or former Shareholder of any Fund shall have a claim on or any right
to any assets allocated or belonging to any other Fund, except to the extent that such Shareholder or former Shareholder has such
a claim or right hereunder as a Shareholder or former Shareholder of such other Fund. Every Share, note, bond, contract, instrument,
certificate or other undertaking made or issued by or on behalf of a particular Fund shall include a recitation limiting the obligation
on Shares represented thereby to such Fund and its assets.

    	22

    	 

    

(b) The Claims
of each of the Sponsor and the Trustee with respect to all Funds, any combination of Funds or one particular Fund and their
respective assets (the “Applicable Fund”) shall only be asserted and enforceable against the Applicable
Fund, and such Claims shall not be asserted or enforceable for any reason whatsoever against any other Fund, the Trust
generally, or any of their respective assets.

(c) If the Claims
of the Sponsor or the Trustee against the Applicable Fund or the Trust are secured in whole or in part, each of the Sponsor and
the Trustee hereby waives (under section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code) any right to have any deficiency Claims (which deficiency
Claims may arise in the event such security is inadequate to satisfy such Claims) treated as unsecured Claims against the Trust
or any Fund (other than the Applicable Fund), as the case may be.

(d) In furtherance
of the foregoing, if and to the extent that the Sponsor and the Trustee receive monies from a Fund or the Trust (or their respective
assets), other than the Applicable Fund, the Sponsor and the Trustee shall be deemed to hold such monies in trust and shall promptly
remit such monies to the Fund or the Trust that paid such amounts for investment and distribution by the Fund or the Trust in accordance
with the terms hereof.

(e) The foregoing
segregation of the liabilities and assets of and among the Funds shall apply at all times notwithstanding that the Claims are satisfied,
and notwithstanding that the agreements in respect of such Claims are terminated, rescinded or canceled.

(f) Any agreement
entered into by the Trust or the Sponsor, on behalf of the Trust generally or any Fund, including, without limitation, the Authorized
Participant Agreements entered into with each Authorized Participant, will include language substantially similar to the language
set forth in Sections 3.5 and 3.6(a) hereof.

Section
3.7. Distributions.

(a) Distributions
on Shares of any Class of a Fund may be paid with such frequency and under such conditions as the Sponsor may determine in its
sole and absolute discretion, which may be daily or otherwise, to the Shareholders from the income and capital gains of such Fund
attributable to such Class, accrued or realized, from such Fund’s Trust Estate, after providing for actual and accrued liabilities
attributable to such Class, unless such authority is specifically restricted with respect to the Initial Funds in Article IV hereof,
or with respect to any other Fund in the applicable Series Supplement. Except to the extent the Sponsor otherwise determines in
its sole and absolute discretion, all distributions on Shares of a Fund shall be allocated to each Class in proportion to such
Class’ Participation Factor at the date and time of record established for the payment of such distribution and to each Share
of such Class equally. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the Initial Funds in Article IV hereof, or with respect to
any other Fund in the applicable Series Supplement, each such distribution shall be made in accordance with Section 3.4(g) hereof.
Such distributions may be made in cash, Shares or a combination thereof as determined by the Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion.
The Sponsor may, in its sole and absolute discretion, deduct any taxes or other governmental charges due on any distribution on
the Shares of any Fund from the amounts paid by such Fund to its Shareholders in connection

    	23

    	 

    

therewith. Nothing in this Section 3.7(a)
shall obligate the Sponsor to cause the Trust or any Fund to make any distributions.

(b) Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Trust Agreement, no distribution, including, without limitation, any distribution paid upon termination
of the Trust or of any Fund, with respect to, nor any redemption or repurchase of, the Shares of any Fund shall be effected by
the Trust other than from such Fund’s Trust Estate.

Section
3.8. Other Business of the Trustee and Shareholders. The Trustee and any of the Shareholders, and any shareholder,
officer, director, employee of either thereof, or other Person holding a legal or beneficial interest in a Person which is a Shareholder,
may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of every nature and description, independently or with others,
and the pursuit of such ventures, even if competitive with the business of the Trust or any Fund, shall not be deemed wrongful
or improper.

(b) At any time,
the Sponsor may, in its sole and absolute discretion, replace the Underlying Index of any Initial Fund with a different index,
and such index shall be such Fund’s Underlying Index as of such time and, solely for purposes of determining, following adoption
of such index, the level of such index as of the Prior Distribution Date, as of the Prior Distribution Date; provided, however,
that no such substitution may result in (i) a change in the Class Values per Share of the Fund that is the subject of the substitution
at the time of substitution; or (ii) (x) a change in the referenced commodity or commodities tracked by the original Underlying
Index, in the case of the AccuShares S&P GSCI Spot Fund, the AccuShares S&P GSCI Agriculture and Livestock Spot Fund, the
AccuShares S&P GSCI Industrial Metals Spot Fund, the AccuShares S&P GSCI Crude Oil Spot Fund, the AccuShares S&P GSCI
Brent Oil Spot Fund or the AccuShares S&P GSCI Natural Gas Spot Fund, or (y) the Fund no longer tracking measures of stock
market price volatility, in the case of the AccuShares Spot CBOE VIX Fund. The Sponsor shall provide notice of any such substitution
to the affected Fund’s Shareholders by such means and within such time as may be required by applicable laws and regulations
or the rules of the Exchange or otherwise as the Sponsor may determine in its sole and absolute discretion.

(c) If an Initial
Fund’s Underlying Index ceases to be published at any time (an “Index Disruption”), the Sponsor may, in
its sole and absolute discretion:

(i) unless
the Underlying Index subject to the Index Disruption (the “Previous Index”) resumes publication prior to such
action, either replace the Previous Index with a different index (a “Replacement Index”) in accordance with
Section 4.3(b) hereof, or cause such Fund to dissolve and redeem all of its outstanding Shares in accordance with Section 9.7 hereof,
in either case within such time period prior to any resumption of publication of the Previous Index as the Sponsor shall determine
in its sole and absolute discretion (such time period, an “Index Disruption Period”);

(ii) determine
(x) the manner and timing of calculation of such Fund’s Class Values and Class Values per Share during the Index Disruption
Period, (y) whether any Regular Distributions, Special Distributions or Net Income Distributions will be made to the Shareholders
of such Fund during the Index Disruption Period, and (z) whether the Closing Trading Prices of the Classes of such Fund during
the Index Disruption Period will be considered for purposes of Section 4.11 hereof;

    	25

    	 

    

(iii) following
the Index Disruption Period, if the Previous Index has resumed publication, determine whether any Regular Distributions, Special
Distributions or Net Income Distributions will be made to the Shareholders of such Fund as of the date the Previous Index resumed
publication; and

(iv)
following the Index Disruption Period, if a Replacement Index has been adopted, establish the Share Index Factor for each
of its Classes and, in the case of the AccuShares Spot CBOE VIX Fund, the Daily Amount at such level as the Sponsor shall
determine in its sole and absolute discretion, including as of the Distribution Date immediately preceding the Index
Disruption and any Distribution Date following the Index Disruption Period.

(d) During an Index
Disruption Period with respect to any Initial Fund, such Fund will continue to accept, process and perform under all Purchase Orders
and Redemption Orders submitted in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof or Article IX hereof, respectively.

Section
4.4. Class Value and Class Value per Share.

(a) The Class
Value of each Class of each Initial Fund shall be calculated by the Sponsor or the  Custodian for the Fund appointed pursuant
to Section 10.1 hereof by determining the value of the Eligible Assets held by such Fund attributable to such Class pursuant
to such Class’ Participation Factor. Changes in the Class Value of each Class shall be based on changes in the
Fund’s Underlying Index and Net Investment Income and, in the case of the AccuShares Spot CBOE VIX Fund, the VIX Fund
Daily Amount, and limited by the Class Value per Share Limitation. The Class Value per Share of each Share of a Fund will be
calculated by the Sponsor or the Custodian for the Fund appointed pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof by taking its
Class’ Class Value and dividing it by the number of Shares of such Class outstanding at the time of determination.
Class Values and Class Values per Share for each Initial Fund shall be disseminated in such manner and at such time as the
Sponsor shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion.

(b) The Class Value
per Share of each Class of each Initial Fund, as calculated pursuant to Section 4.4(a) hereof, shall be in accordance with the
following formulas:

(i) The
Class Value per Share for the Up Shares of each Initial Fund, other than the AccuShares Spot CBOE VIX Fund, at any time is determined
as follows:

UPt = UPt-1 + UPSIFt
x (UILt – UILt-1) + UPNIAt

(ii) The
Class Value per Share for the AccuShares Spot CBOE VIX Up Shares will be determined at any time as follows:

UPt = UPt-1 + UPSIFt
x (UILt – UILt-1) + UPNIAt – DAt

(iii) The
Class Value per Share for the Down Shares of each Initial Fund, other than the AccuShares Spot CBOE VIX Fund, at any time is determined
as follows:

DNt = DNt-1 + DNSIFt
x (UILt – UILt-1) + DNNIAt

    	26

    	 

    

(iv) The
Class Value per Share for the AccuShares Spot CBOE VIX Down Shares at any time is determined as follows:

DNt = DNt-1 + DNSIFt
x (UILt – UILt-1) + DNNIAt+ DAt

For purposes of clauses (i) through (iv)
above, for any single Measuring Period, UILt is subject to (i) a maximum value equal to the product of 1.9 and UILt-1,
and (ii) a minimum value equal to the product of 0.1 and UILt-1.

(c) On a Distribution
Date, immediately following the determination of the amount of the Regular Distribution, Special Distribution or Corrective Distribution
to be made to the Shares of an Initial Fund and the resetting of such Fund’s Share Index Factors in accordance with Section
4.7(b) hereof, the Class Values per Share for the Shares of such Initial Fund will be calculated as follows:

UPt = Minimum of either UPc
or DNc

DNt = Minimum of either UPc
or DNc

(d) The Sponsor’s
or Custodian’s calculations of Class Value and Class Value per Share for each Class of each Initial Fund pursuant to
this Section 4.4 shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders of the Initial Funds and all other Persons, absent manifest
error.

Section
4.5. VIX Fund Daily Amount. For purposes of calculating the Class Values per Share of AccuShares Spot CBOE VIX
Fund, on each calendar day, an amount equal to (x) the product obtained by multiplying 0.15% by the Class Value per Share of the
AccuShares Spot CBOE VIX Up Shares on the Prior Distribution Date, if the level of such Fund’s Underlying Index was less
than or equal to 30 on the Prior Distribution Date, or (y) zero (0) if the level of such Fund’s Underlying Index was greater
than 30 on the Prior Distribution Date (such amount, the “VIX Fund Daily Amount”), shall be subtracted from
the Class Value per Share of the AccuShares Spot CBOE VIX Up Shares and added to the Class Value per Share of the AccuShares Spot
CBOE VIX Down Shares. Any VIX Fund Daily Amount that would otherwise accrue on a day that is not a Business Day shall be accrued
at the end of the immediately preceding Business Day.

Section
4.6. Class Value per Share Limitation. For any single Measuring Period in which an Initial Fund’s Underlying
Index rises or falls by more than 90%, such Fund’s Class Values per Share will be calculated based on a rise or fall of such
Underlying Index, as applicable, of 90% and not the actual rise or fall of such Underlying Index (the “Class Value per
Share Limitation”).

Section
4.7. Share Index Factors. The Share Index Factors with respect to each Initial Fund shall be established as follows:

(a) At the inception
of operations of an Initial Fund, the Sponsor will establish the Share Index Factor for each Class of such Fund, which, in the
case of such Fund’s Up Shares, will equal the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the initial Class Value per Share of such
Class, which shall be equal to the initial per Share offering price for such Class as stated in the Fund’s Prospectus, by
(B) the initial level on such day of such Fund’s Underlying Index, and in the case

    	27

    	 

    

of such Fund’s Down Shares, will
equal the product obtained by multiplying the Share Index Factor of such Fund’s Up Shares by negative one (-1).

(b) Immediately
following each Regular Distribution or Special Distribution, and any Corrective Distribution occurring on the same Distribution
Date as such Regular Distribution or Special Distribution, by an Initial Fund, such Fund will establish a new Share Index Factor
for each of its Classes, which, in the case of such Fund’s Up Shares, will equal the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the
Class Value per Share of such Class immediately following such Regular Distribution or Special Distribution and any such Corrective
Distribution by (B) the level on such day of such Fund’s Underlying Index, and in the case of such Fund’s Down Shares,
will equal the product obtained by multiplying the Share Index Factor of such Fund’s Up Shares by negative one (-1). The
Share Index Factors of a Fund will not change between Distribution Dates.

Section
4.8. Determination of Regular and Special Distribution Amounts, Share Index Factors and Net Investment Income.

(a) When the Class
Values per Share of the Up Shares and the Down Shares of an Initial Fund differ at the close of a Measuring Period (after adjusting
for any Net Income Distribution for such Shares), the Class with the higher Class Value per Share shall receive a Regular Distribution
or Special Distribution on that Distribution Date.

(b) The value of
a Regular Distribution or Special Distribution relating to each of an Initial Fund’s Up Shares (where such Shares are valued
at their respective Class Values per Share) entitled to a Regular Distribution or Special Distribution on a Distribution Date will
be equal to the positive amount, if any, of the closing Class Value per Share of the Fund’s Up Shares (after adjusting for
any Net Income Distribution for such Shares) less the closing Class Value per Share of the Fund’s Down Shares (after adjusting
for any Net Income Distribution for such Shares), or:

Distribution Amount
= Maximum of 0 or UPd – DNd

(c) The value of a
Regular Distribution or Special Distribution relating to each of an Initial Fund’s Down Shares (where such Shares are valued
at their respective Class Values per Share) entitled to a Regular Distribution or Special Distribution on a Distribution Date will
be equal to the positive amount, if any, of the closing Class Value per Share of the Fund’s Down Shares (after adjusting
for any Net Income Distribution for such Shares) less the closing Class Value per Share of the Fund’s Up Shares (after adjusting
for any Net Income Distribution for such Shares), or:

Distribution Amount
= Maximum of 0 or DNd – UPd

(d) Regular Distributions
and Special Distributions will be made in the form of cash, equal quantities of the Initial Fund’s Up Shares and Down Shares
or a combination of cash and equal quantities of the Initial Fund’s Up Shares and Down Shares, as determined by the Sponsor
in its sole and absolute discretion. Any portion of any distribution made in Shares shall always be made in equal numbers of Up
Shares and Down Shares of the Fund, which shall be valued at their respective Class Values per Share (after adjusting for any Net
Income Distributions made to

    	28

    	 

    

the applicable Class) for purposes of the
distribution amount. To the extent a Share distribution would result in the distribution of fractional Shares, cash from the applicable
Fund’s Eligible Assets in an amount equal to the value of the fractional Shares will be distributed rather than such fractional
Shares.

(e) For any single
Distribution Date associated with a Regular Distribution or Special Distribution the relationship between Class Value per Share
and distribution entitlement for the Up Shares of a Fund and such Fund’s Underlying Index will be the Up Share Index Factor
and, in the case of the AccuShares Spot CBOE VIX Fund, the VIX Fund Daily Amount. Similarly, for any single Distribution Date associated
with a Regular Distribution or Special Distribution, the relationship between Class Value per Share and distribution entitlement
for the Down Shares of a Fund and such Fund’s Underlying Index will be the Down Share Index Factor and, in the case of the
AccuShares Spot CBOE VIX Fund, the VIX Fund Daily Amount. The Down Share Index Factor will equal negative one (-1) times the Up
Share Index Factor.

(f) The Sponsor will
determine, or cause the Custodian to determine, the Net Investment Income for each Class of each Initial Fund. Any unpaid amounts of any such Class’ Management Fee and any extraordinary fees and expenses or taxes
attributable to such Class pursuant to Section 5.3(a) hereof that would otherwise accrue on a day that is not a Business Day shall
be accrued at the end of the immediately preceding Business Day.

Section
4.9. Regular Distributions & Net Income Distributions.

(a) Each Initial
Fund will effect (i) a distribution on its Up Shares when the Class Value per Share of its Up Shares (after adjusting for any Net
Income Distribution for such Shares) is greater than the Class Value per Share of its Down Shares (after adjusting for any Net
Income Distribution for such Shares), and (ii) a distribution on its Down Shares when the Class Value per Share of its Down Shares
(after adjusting for any Net Income Distribution for such Shares) is greater than the Class Value per Share its Up Shares (after
adjusting for any Net Income Distribution for such Shares) as of the following Regular Distribution Dates (each such distribution,
a “Regular Distribution”):

	Initial Fund	Frequency of Cash and Regular Distributions	Cash and Regular Distribution Dates*
	AccuShares S&P GSCI Spot Fund	Quarterly	March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15
	AccuShares S&P GSCI Agriculture and Livestock Spot Fund	Quarterly	March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15
	AccuShares S&P GSCI Industrial Metals Spot Fund	Quarterly	March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15
	AccuShares S&P GSCI Crude Oil Spot Fund	Quarterly	March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15
	AccuShares S&P GSCI Brent Oil Spot Fund	Quarterly	March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15
	AccuShares S&P GSCI Natural Gas Spot Fund	Monthly	15th day of each calendar month
	AccuShares Spot CBOE VIX Fund	Monthly	15th day of each calendar month
	* Adjusted to the next following Business Day if the scheduled Distribution Date is not a Business Day.

 

    	29

    	 

    

(b) Each Initial
Fund will reset its Share Index Factors in accordance with Section 4.7(b) hereof upon the occurrence of a Regular Distribution
with respect to any Class of such Fund.

(c) If any Class of
an Initial Fund has positive accrued Net Investment Income per Share on a Regular Distribution Date, such Fund shall make a cash
distribution to the Shareholders of such Class in an amount per Share equal to the accrued Net Investment Income per Share of such
Class (a “Net Income Distribution”).

Section
4.10. Special Distributions & Net Income Distributions.

(a) Each Initial
Fund will effect a distribution on its Up Shares when the level of its Underlying Index has increased, and a distribution on its
Down Shares when the level of its Underlying Index has decreased, between Regular Distribution Dates where the closing index level
of such Underlying Index on any Business Day has changed since the Prior Distribution Date by an amount exceeding 75% (each such
distribution, a “Special Distribution”).

(b) Each Initial
Fund will reset its Share Index Factors in accordance with Section 4.7(b) hereof upon the occurrence of a Special Distribution
with respect to any Class of such Fund.

(c) If any Class of
an Initial Fund has positive accrued Net Investment Income per Share on a Special Distribution Date, such Fund shall make a Net
Income Distribution to the Shareholders of such Class in an amount per Share equal to the accrued Net Investment Income per Share
of such Class.

Section
4.11. Corrective Distributions. The Sponsor shall continuously measure for any material deviation between the
Class Value per Share of each Class of each Initial Fund and the Closing Trading Prices of such Class’ Shares where the Closing
Trading Prices are based on one or more trades occurring within the last 30 minutes of trading. Following the later to occur of
(1) the expiration of 90 calendar days following the inception of an Initial Fund’s operations and (2) the commencement of
such Fund’s third Measuring Period, if the Closing Trading Prices of the Shares of any Class of such Fund deviate in the
amount set forth in the table below from their Class Value per Share for the period of time set forth in the table below, such
Fund shall distribute to each of its Shareholders (x) a number of its Down Shares equal to the number of its Up Shares held by
such Shareholder (including those to be distributed on such Distribution Date for the related Regular Distribution or Special Distribution)
and (y) a number of its Up Shares equal to the number of its Down Shares held by such Shareholder (including those to be distributed
on such Distribution Date for the related Regular Distribution or Special Distribution) (a “Corrective Distribution”).
Corrective Distributions will be made on the next scheduled Regular Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date, in addition
to the Regular Distribution or Special Distribution. If the Closing Trading Price for a Share of a Fund on any Business Day is
not based on one or more trades occurring on the Exchange during the last 30 minutes of that day, the Closing Trading Price for
that day will be deemed not to have deviated from such Share’s Class Value per Share on that day for the purposes of measuring
for a Corrective Distribution.

    	30

    	 

    

 

	Initial Fund	Closing Trading Price Deviation from Class Value per Share of Any Fund Class	Duration of Deviation(1)
	AccuShares S&P GSCI Spot Fund	5.0%	3 business days
	AccuShares S&P GSCI Agriculture and Livestock Spot Fund	5.0%	3 business days

	(1) Days must be consecutive.

 

Section
4.12. Share Splits. The Sponsor may, in its sole and absolute discretion, cause any Initial Fund to declare a
forward share split or a reverse share split with respect to its Up Shares or Down Shares, and in the event of any such forward
share split or reverse share split the Class Value per Share of such Class shall be adjusted accordingly. In the event of a forward or reverse share split with respect to any Class of a Fund’s Shares, the Sponsor may adjust such Fund’s Share Index Factors and, in the case of the AccuShares Spot CBOE VIX Fund, the Daily Amount as it determines necessary or advisable, in its sole and absolute discretion, to maintain continuity in tracking such Fund’s Underlying Index.

Section
4.13. Redemption Distribution. The Redemption Distribution with respect to each Initial Fund shall consist of
cash in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of Redemption Units set forth in the relevant
Redemption Order by (ii) the Value per Creation Unit of such Fund as of the time of the calculation of such Fund’s Class
Values on the Redemption Order Date.

Section
4.14. Restriction on Distributions. Other than Regular Distributions, Special Distributions, Corrective Distributions,
Net Income Distributions, Redemption Distributions and distributions made pursuant to Section 9.7 hereof, none of the Initial Funds
shall make any distributions.

Section
4.15. Creation Units. Creation Units with respect to each Initial Fund shall be comprised of 25,000 Up Shares
of such Fund and 25,000 Down Shares of such Fund.

Section
4.16. Eligible Assets of the Initial Funds.

(a) The assets of
each Initial Fund shall consist solely of cash, and the Treasuries in which such Fund will invest its cash from time to time as
determined by the Investment Advisor pursuant to the terms of, and in accordance with, the Investment Advisory Agreement and this
Trust Agreement (such cash and Treasuries, the “Eligible Assets”). Each Initial Fund shall have an investment
goal to invest its assets so as to preserve capital while, at the same time, earning an investment return that is consistent with
such preservation of capital.

(b) Any date on which
there is cash on deposit in an Initial Fund’s custody account that is not needed to effect Fund Share redemptions based on
the Redemption Orders submitted by Authorized Participants or payment of Fund expenses, Net Income Distributions and other distributions
to be made in cash, as determined by the Sponsor, all such cash will be invested in accordance with the Investment Advisory Agreement
and this Trust Agreement, in either:

    	31

    	 

    

(i) U.S. Treasury
Securities, which qualify as “Eligible Treasuries” because they have residual maturities less than or equal to 90 calendar
days, or

(ii) agreements
for the sale and repurchase of, and collateralized by, U.S. Treasury Securities, which qualify as “Eligible Repos,”
because (1) they are entered into with a seller that is a bank with at least one billion U.S. dollars in assets or a registered
securities dealer that is deemed creditworthy by the Investment Advisor, (2) they terminate the Business Day following their execution,
(3) they are denominated in U.S. dollars, and (4) they are “collateralized fully,” meaning that (A) the value of the
assets collateralizing the Eligible Repo (less transaction costs, including loss of interest, that the Fund reasonably could expect
to incur if the seller were to default) is, and during the entire term of the Eligible Repo remains, at least equal to the resale
price payable by the seller under the Eligible Repo, (B) title to the underlying collateral assets passes to the Fund or, if the
asset transfer is recharacterized as a secured loan, the Fund will have a perfected first priority security interest in the assets
securing the seller’s obligations, (C) such assets are held by a custodian bank for the benefit of the Fund during the term
of the Eligible Repo, (D) such assets consist entirely of U.S. Treasury Securities, and (E) upon the insolvency of the seller,
the Eligible Repo would qualify under a provision of applicable insolvency law providing an exclusion from any automatic stay of
creditors’ rights against the seller.

  Cash will be held as
bank deposits at a bank having a short-term rating of at least A1/P1, or in such other manner as the Sponsor shall determine
in its sole and absolute discretion.

(c) The principal
terms of the Eligible Repos will be set forth in a Global Master Repurchase Agreement prepared and updated from time to time by
The Bond Market Association (the “Master Agreement”), and tri-party account control agreements, as approved
by the Sponsor on behalf of each Initial Fund. The Master Agreement will be supplemented by an electronic or written confirmation
setting forth the pricing terms for each Eligible Repo which will be negotiated on behalf of the Initial Funds by the Investment
Advisor.

(d) Each Initial
Fund shall not hold on any Business Day Eligible Repos the aggregate principal amount of which is in excess of 40% of the value
of its Eligible Assets on such Business Day.

(e) Pursuant to
the terms of, and in accordance with, the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Investment Advisor shall select Treasuries for acquisition
by an Initial Fund in accordance with the following acquisition guidelines:

(i) dealers
from whom the Fund will purchase Eligible Treasuries will be selected based on best execution;

(ii) counterparties
with whom the Fund will enter into Eligible Repos will be selected based on best execution;

(iii) no Eligible
Repo may be entered into with, and no Eligible Treasury may be purchased from, (A) any Person who is an Affiliated Person (as defined
in Section 2(a)(3)

    	32

    	 

    

of the Investment Company Act
of 1940) with respect to any of an Initial Fund, the Trust, the Trustee, the Sponsor or the Investment Advisor, or (B) any Person
unless the quote from such Person is the best available yield given the size of the transaction; and

(iv) Eligible
Repos will be acquired in accordance with Section 4.16(d) hereof.

Section
4.17. Voting. The Sponsor hereby establishes pursuant to Section 7.4(b) hereof that, with respect to the Initial
Funds, each Share shall be entitled to one vote as to any matter on which it is entitled to vote. Shares may be voted in person
or by proxy or in any manner determined by the Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion.

THE SPONSOR

Section
5.1. Management of the Trust. Pursuant to sections 3806(a) and 3806(b)(7) of the DSTA, the business and affairs
of the Trust and each Fund shall be managed by the Sponsor in lieu of the Trustee with such powers of delegation as may be permitted

In construing the provisions of this Trust Agreement, the presumption shall be in favor of a grant of power to the Sponsor. The
enumeration of any specific power in this Trust Agreement shall not be construed as limiting the aforesaid power. The powers of
the Sponsor may be exercised without order of or resort to any court.

extraordinary fees and expenses to each
of such Fund’s Classes in proportion to the Class Value of such Class.

Section
5.4. Liability of Sponsor Indemnified Parties. Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, a Sponsor Indemnified Party shall
have no liability to the Trust or to any Shareholder, Authorized Participant or to any other Sponsor Indemnified Party for any
loss suffered by the Trust that arises out of any action or inaction of such Sponsor Indemnified Party if such Sponsor Indemnified
Party, in good faith, determined that such course of conduct was in the best interest of the Trust and such course of conduct did
not constitute gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Sponsor Indemnified Party. Subject to the foregoing, no
Sponsor Indemnified Party shall be personally liable for the return or repayment of all or any portion of the capital or profits
of any Shareholder, Authorized Participant or assignee thereof, it being expressly agreed that any such return of capital or profits
made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made solely from the assets of the Trust without any rights of contribution from any Sponsor
Indemnified Party. A Sponsor Indemnified Party shall not be liable for the conduct or misconduct of any delegatee selected by the
Sponsor pursuant to Section 5.7 hereof; provided, however, that in the case of the Sponsor the foregoing shall only apply if the
Sponsor made such selection with reasonable care.

Section
5.5. Conflicts of Interest.

(a) Unless otherwise
expressly provided herein:

(i) whenever
a conflict of interest exists or arises between the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Trust or any Shareholder,
Authorized Participant or other Person, on the other hand; or

(ii) whenever
this Trust Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein provides that the Sponsor shall act in a manner that is, or provides
terms that are, fair and reasonable to the Trust, any Shareholder, any Authorized Participant or any other Person;

the Sponsor shall resolve such conflict
of interest, take such action or provide such terms as it shall determine, considering in each case the relative interest of each
party (including its own interest) to such conflict, agreement, transaction or situation and the benefits and burdens relating
to such interests, any customary or accepted industry practices, and any applicable generally accepted accounting practices or
principles. In the absence of bad faith by the Sponsor,

    	37

    	 

    

the resolution, action or terms so made,
taken or provided by the Sponsor shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or
of any duty, obligation or responsibility of the Sponsor at law (statutory or common) or in equity or otherwise.

(b) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Trust Agreement or of applicable law (statutory or common), whenever in this Trust Agreement the Sponsor
is permitted or required to make a decision:

(i) in its “discretion”
or under a grant of similar authority, the Sponsor shall be entitled to consider such interests and factors as it desires, including
its own interests, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (statutory or common), shall have no duty, obligation
or responsibility to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Trust, any Shareholder, any Authorized
Participant or any other Person; or

(ii) in its
“good faith” or under another express standard, the Sponsor shall act under such express standard and shall not be
subject to any other or different standard.

(c) Each Sponsor
Indemnified Party may engage in or possess an interest in other profit-seeking or business ventures of any nature or description,
independently or with others, whether or not such ventures are competitive with the Trust, and the doctrine of corporate opportunity,
or any analogous doctrine, shall not apply to the Sponsor. If the Sponsor acquires knowledge of a potential transaction, agreement,
arrangement or other matter that may be an opportunity for the Trust, it shall have no duty to communicate or offer such opportunity
to the Trust, and the Sponsor shall not be liable to the Trust or to the Shareholders or the Authorized Participants for breach
of any fiduciary or other duty by reason of the fact that the Sponsor pursues or acquires for, or directs such opportunity to,
another Person or does not communicate such opportunity or information to the Trust. Neither the Trust nor any Shareholder or Authorized
Participant shall have any rights, powers, duties, obligations, liabilities or responsibilities by virtue of this Trust Agreement
or the trust relationship created hereby in or to such independent ventures or the income or profits or losses derived therefrom,
and the pursuit of such ventures, even if competitive with the activities of the Trust, shall not be deemed to be wrongful or improper.
Except to the extent expressly provided herein, the Sponsor may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with
the Trust, the Shareholders, the Authorized Participants or any Affiliate thereof.

(d) Each Sponsor
Indemnified Party may, without limitation, but shall not be required to, own Shares of any Fund.

Section
5.6. Obligations of the Sponsor.

(a) The Sponsor
does not assume any duty, obligation or responsibility nor shall it be subject to any liability under this Trust Agreement to any
Shareholder or Authorized Participant (including liability with respect to the value of any Trust Estate), except that it agrees
to perform its duties, obligations and responsibilities specifically set forth in this Trust Agreement without gross negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct.

    	38

    	 

    

(b) The Sponsor
shall not be under any obligation to prosecute any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any portion of the Trust Estate
or in respect of the Shares on behalf of a Shareholder, Authorized Participant or other Person.

(c) The Sponsor
shall not be liable for any action or inaction by it in reliance upon the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants,
any Authorized Participant, any Shareholder or any other Person believed by it in good 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 Sponsor performed its duties, obligations and responsibilities
without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct while it acted as sponsor.

(e) The Sponsor
shall have no obligation to comply with any direction or instruction from any Shareholder or Authorized Participant regarding Shares
except to the extent specifically provided in this Trust Agreement.

Section
5.7. Delegation of Obligations of the Sponsor. The Sponsor may at any time delegate all or a portion of its duties,
obligations and responsibilities under this Trust Agreement to another Person, including the Administrator, without the consent
of the Trustee or any Shareholder. The Sponsor may terminate the delegation to such other Person at any time and is not required
to appoint a replacement therefor.

Section
5.8. Compensation to the Sponsor. The Sponsor shall be entitled to compensation for its services as Sponsor of
the Trust as set forth in the Sponsor Agreement.

Section
5.9. Indemnification of Sponsor.

(a) The Trust (or,
in furtherance of Sections 3.5 and 3.6 hereof, any Fund separately to the extent the matter in question relates to a single Fund
or is otherwise disproportionate), whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, shall assume
liability for, and shall, solely from the applicable Trust Estate or Trust Estates as set forth in Sections 3.5 and 3.6 hereof,
indemnify, protect, save and keep harmless, the Sponsor (in its capacity as sponsor and individually) and its Affiliates and their
respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, managers or employees (the “Sponsor Indemnified Parties”)
from and against any and all Expenses which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Sponsor Indemnified Parties
in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with the formation, operation or termination of the Trust or such Fund,
the execution, delivery and performance of this Trust Agreement or any other agreements with respect to the Trust or such Fund
to which the Trust is a party or the action or inaction of the Sponsor hereunder or thereunder with respect to the Trust or such
Fund, except for Expenses resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any Sponsor Indemnified Party.
Any such Expenses relating to the Trust rather than any particular Fund shall be allocated among the Funds as set forth in Section 3.6
hereof. The indemnities contained in this Section 5.9 shall survive the

    	39

    	 

    

termination of this Trust Agreement,
the resignation of the Sponsor, the dissolution or other cessation to exist of the Sponsor Indemnified Party, the withdrawal, adjudication
of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Sponsor Indemnified Party, or the filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy
under the Bankruptcy Code by or against the Sponsor Indemnified Party.

(b) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 5.9(a) hereof, the Sponsor Indemnified Parties and any Person acting as broker-dealer for the Trust or
any Fund shall not be indemnified for any losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of U.S. federal
or state securities laws unless (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged
securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee and the court approves the indemnification of such expenses (including,
without limitation, litigation costs), (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent
jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee and the court approves the indemnification of such expenses (including, without limitation,
litigation costs) or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee
and finds that indemnification of the settlement and related costs should be made.

(c) The Trust and
the Funds shall not incur the cost of that portion of any insurance which insures any party against any liability, the indemnification
of which is herein prohibited.

(d) The term “Sponsor
Indemnified Party” as used only in this Section 5.9 shall include, in addition to the Sponsor, any other Person performing
services on behalf of the Trust and acting within the scope of the Sponsor’s authority as set forth in this Trust Agreement.

(e) In the event
the Trust is made a party to any claim, dispute, demand or litigation or otherwise incurs any Expenses as a result of or in connection
with any Shareholder’s (or assignee’s) duties, obligations, liabilities or responsibilities unrelated to Trust business,
such Shareholder (or assignees cumulatively) shall indemnify, defend, hold harmless, and reimburse the Trust for all such Expenses
incurred, including accountants’ fees.

(f) The payment
of any amount pursuant to this Section 5.9 shall be subject to Section 3.6 hereof with respect to the allocation of liabilities
and other amounts, as appropriate, among the Funds.

(g) Expenses so
incurred by any such Sponsor Indemnified Party (but excluding amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines
or penalties) shall be paid from time to time by the Trust in advance of the final disposition of any such action, suit or proceeding
upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Sponsor Indemnified Party to repay amounts so paid to the Trust if it is
ultimately determined that indemnification of such Expenses is not authorized under this Section 5.9.

Section
5.10. Other Contractual Rights. Nothing contained in Section 5.9 hereof shall affect any right to indemnification
to which any Person may be separately entitled by contract or otherwise.

by the Trust (regardless of whether the Sponsor shall have knowledge thereof), unless approved in writing by the Sponsor.

ARTICLE
VII

SHAREHOLDERS

Section
7.1. No Management or Control; Limited Liability; Exercise of Rights through DTC. The Shareholders shall not
participate in the management or control of the Trust’s or the applicable Fund’s business nor shall they transact any
business for the Trust or any Fund or have the power to sign for or bind the Trust or any Fund, said power being vested solely
and exclusively in the Sponsor. Except as provided in Section 7.3 hereof, no Shareholder shall be bound by, or be personally liable
for, the Expenses of the Trust or any Fund in excess of the Class Value per Share attributable to such Shareholder’s Shares.
Except as provided in Section 7.3 hereof, each Share owned by a Shareholder shall be fully paid and no assessment shall
be made against any Shareholder. No salary shall be paid to any Shareholder in his capacity as a Shareholder, nor shall any Shareholder
have a drawing account or earn interest on any contribution. By the purchase and acceptance or other lawful delivery and acceptance
of Shares, each Beneficial Owner shall be deemed to be a registered Shareholder and beneficiary of the applicable Fund and vested
with undivided beneficial interest in such Fund to the extent of the Shares owned beneficially by such Beneficial Owner, subject
to the terms and conditions of this Trust Agreement. The rights of Beneficial Owners under this Trust Agreement must be exercised
by DTC Participants acting on their behalf in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depository, as provided in Section
3.4 hereof.

Section
7.2. Rights and Duties. The Shareholders shall have the following rights, powers, duties, obligations, liabilities
and responsibilities:

(a) The Shareholders
shall have the right to obtain from the Sponsor information regarding all things affecting the Trust or the applicable Fund, provided
that such is for a purpose reasonably related to the Shareholder’s interest as a Beneficial Owner, including, without limitation,
the list of Authorized Participants contemplated by Section 8.2 hereof. Except as otherwise required by law, the Shareholders,
however, shall not have any right to obtain any tax return filed by, or with respect to, the Trust or any Fund.

    	41

    	 

    

(b) The Shareholders
shall receive the share of the distributions provided for in this Trust Agreement and any applicable Series Supplement in the manner
and at the times provided for in this Trust Agreement.

(c) Except for the
Shareholders’ redemption rights set forth in Article IX hereof, Shareholders shall have the right to demand redemption of
their Shares only upon the dissolution and winding up of the applicable Fund or the Trust. In no event shall a Shareholder be entitled
to demand or receive property other than cash in connection therewith. Except as otherwise provided by the Formation Instrument
with respect to a Fund, no Shareholder shall have priority over any other Shareholder either as to the return of capital or as
to profits, losses or distributions. No Shareholder shall have the right to bring an action for partition against the Trust or
a Fund.

(d) Except as required
under applicable U.S. federal law or under the rules or regulations of the Exchange, the Shareholders shall have no voting rights
hereunder (including with respect to mergers, consolidations or conversions of the Trust or a Fund or transfers to or domestication
in any jurisdiction by the Trust or any other matters for which under the DSTA voting rights are provided to holders of beneficial
interests). The Shareholders shall have the right to vote on other matters only as the Sponsor may consider desirable and so authorize
in its sole and absolute discretion. To the extent that U.S. federal or Delaware law is amended, modified or interpreted by rule,
regulation, order, or no-action letter to (on a mandatory basis) expand, eliminate or limit Shareholders’ right to vote on
any specific matter, the Shareholders’ right to vote shall be deemed to be amended, modified or interpreted in accordance
therewith without further approval by the Sponsor or the Shareholders.

(e) No action may
be brought by a Shareholder on behalf of the Trust or any Fund unless Shareholders owning no less than a majority of the then outstanding
Shares of the applicable Fund or Funds, join in the bringing of such action. A Shareholder of Shares of a particular Fund shall
not be entitled to participate in a derivative or class action lawsuit on behalf of any other Fund, or on behalf of the Shareholders
of any other Fund.

(f) Except as set
forth above, the Shareholders shall have no voting or other rights or powers with respect to the Trust or any Fund.

Section
7.3. Limitation on Shareholder Liability.

(a) Except as provided
in Section 5.9(e) hereof, and as otherwise provided under Delaware law, the Shareholders shall be entitled to the same limitation
of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized under the general corporation law of
Delaware and no Shareholder shall be liable for claims against, or debts of, the Trust or the applicable Fund in excess of the
Class Value per Share attributable to such Shareholder’s Shares. In addition, and subject to the exceptions set forth in
the immediately preceding sentence, the Trust or the applicable Fund shall not make a claim against a Shareholder with respect
to amounts distributed to such Shareholder or amounts received by such Shareholder upon redemption unless, under Delaware law,
such Shareholder is liable to repay such amount.

    	42

    	 

    

(b) The Trust or the
applicable Fund shall indemnify to the full extent permitted by applicable law (statutory or common) and the other provisions of
this Trust Agreement, and to the extent of the applicable Trust Estate or Trust Estates, each Shareholder against any claims of
liability asserted against such Shareholder solely because he is a beneficial owner of one or more Shares as a Shareholder (other
than for taxes for which such Shareholder is liable in accordance with the treatment of each Fund as a corporation for income tax
purposes pursuant to Section 1.6 hereof).

(c) Every written
note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or undertaking made or issued by the Sponsor shall give notice to the effect that
the same was executed or made by or on behalf of the Trust or the applicable Fund and that the obligations of such instrument are
not binding upon the Shareholders individually but are binding only upon the assets and property of the applicable Fund, and no
resort shall be had to the Shareholders’ personal property for satisfaction of any obligation or claim thereunder, and appropriate
references may be made to this Trust Agreement and may contain any further recital which the Sponsor deems appropriate, but the
omission thereof shall not operate to bind the Shareholders individually or otherwise invalidate any such note, bond, contract,
instrument, certificate or undertaking. Nothing contained in this Section 7.3 shall diminish the limitation on the liability of
the Trust and each Fund to the extent set forth in Sections 3.5 and 3.6 hereof.

Section
7.4. Voting Power and Meetings.

(a) Meetings of
the Shareholders may be called by the Sponsor for such purposes as may be prescribed by law or by this Trust Agreement. Except
as required by applicable law or as provided for herein, there shall be no annual or regular Shareholders’ meetings.

(b) On each matter,
if any, submitted to a vote of Shareholders, unless the Sponsor determines otherwise in its sole and absolute discretion, Shares
of each Class shall vote as a separate class; provided, however, that: (i) as to any matter with respect to which a separate
vote of any Class is required by mandatory provisions of applicable law or is required by attributes applicable to any Class, such
requirements as to a separate vote by that Class shall apply; (ii) unless the Sponsor determines in its sole and absolute
discretion that this clause (ii) shall not apply in a particular case, to the extent that a matter referred to in clause (i)
above affects more than one Class and the interests of each such Class in the matter are identical, then the Shares of all such
affected Classes shall vote together as a single class; and (iii) as to any matter which does not affect the interests of
a particular Class, only the holders of Shares of the one or more affected Classes shall be entitled to vote. As determined by
the Sponsor, in its sole and absolute discretion, without the vote or consent of Shareholders, on any matter submitted to a vote
of Shareholders either (i) each Share of a Class shall be entitled to one vote as to any matter on which it is entitled to
vote or (ii) each dollar of Class Value shall be entitled to one vote on any matter on which such Shares are entitled to vote.

(c) A meeting of
Shareholders shall be held at any place designated by the Sponsor.

    	43

    	 

    

Section 7.5.
Notice of Shareholders’ Meeting.

(a) All notices
of meetings of Shareholders shall be sent or otherwise given to each Shareholder of record not less than seven (7) nor more than
one hundred and twenty (120) days before the date of the meeting in the manner determined by the Sponsor in its sole and absolute
discretion. The notice shall specify: (i) the place, date and hour of the meeting; and (ii) the general nature of the business
to be transacted.

(b) Any Shareholders’
meeting, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the Sponsor or by the vote of a majority of
the Shares of the Fund or Funds, as the case may be, represented at that meeting, either in person or by proxy. When any meeting
of Shareholders is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting unless a new record date
of the adjourned meeting is fixed or unless the adjournment is for more than sixty (60) days from the date set for the original
meeting, in which case the Sponsor shall set a new record date. Notice of any such adjourned meeting shall be given to each Shareholder
of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting. At any adjourned meeting, the Trust may transact any business which might
have been transacted at the original meeting.

Section
7.6. Voting Procedure. The Trust shall be authorized to solicit, and a Shareholder shall be entitled to submit,
a proxy ballot containing the voting instructions of such Shareholder, in person, or by U.S. mail, overnight mail, express mail,
telephone, electronic mail, telefacsimile, telegraph, internet or other electronic media, provided however, that the Sponsor may
limit or delineate the types of media and methods by which a Shareholder may submit voting instructions. On any matter any Shareholder
may vote part of its Shares in favor of the proposal and refrain from voting the remaining Shares or vote them against the proposal,
but if the Shareholder fails to specify the number of Shares which the Shareholder is voting affirmatively, it will be conclusively
presumed that the Shareholder’s approving vote is with respect to the total Shares that the Shareholder is entitled to vote
on such proposal.

Section
7.7. Quorum and Required Vote.

(a) Except when
a larger quorum is required by mandatory provisions of applicable law or by this Trust Agreement, the presence (in person or by
ballot) of thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) of the Shares entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum at a Shareholders’
meeting. When any one or more Classes is to vote as a single class separate from any other Shares, thirty-three and one-third percent
(33 1/3%) of the Shares of each such Class or Classes entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum at a Shareholder’s meeting
of that Class or those Classes. Any meeting of Shareholders may be adjourned consistent with the provisions of Section 7.5(b) hereof,
whether or not a quorum is present. When a quorum is present at any meeting, a majority of the Shares represented at the meeting
shall decide any questions except when a different vote is required by any provision of this Trust Agreement or by applicable law.

(b) Any action taken
by Shareholders may be taken without a meeting if Shareholders holding a majority of the Shares entitled to vote on the matter
(or such larger proportion thereof as shall be required by any express provision of this Trust Agreement or U.S. federal law) or
holding a majority (or such larger proportion as aforesaid) of the Shares of any Class or Classes entitled to vote separately on
the matter consent to the action in writing or by electronic means

    	44

    	 

    

(such as via telephone or the internet)
and such written consent or a record of such electronic consent is filed with the records of the meetings of Shareholders. Such
consent shall be treated for all purposes as a vote taken at a meeting of Shareholders.

Section
7.8. Record Dates. For the purpose of determining the Shareholders of any Class who are entitled to vote or act
at any meeting or any adjournment thereof, the Sponsor may from time to time fix a date, which shall be not more than one-hundred
and twenty (120) days before the date of any meeting of Shareholders, as the record date for determining the Shareholders of such
Class having the right to notice of and to vote at such meeting and any adjournment thereof, and in such case only Shareholders
of record on such record date shall have such right, notwithstanding any transfer of Shares on the books of the Trust or the Depository
after the record date. For the purpose of determining the Shareholders of any Class who are entitled to receive payment of any
dividend or of any other distribution, the Sponsor may from time to time fix a date, which shall be before the date for the payment
of such dividend or such other payment, as the record date for determining the Shareholders of such Class having the right to receive
such dividend or distribution. Without fixing a record date the Sponsor may for voting and/or distribution purposes close the register
or transfer books for one or more Funds for all or any part of the period between a record date and a meeting of Shareholders or
the payment of a distribution. Nothing in this Section 7.8 shall be construed as precluding the Sponsor from setting different
record dates for different Classes.

Section
7.9. Waiver of Notice by Consent of Absent Shareholders. Any Shareholder may waive notice, which waiver may be
submitted by U.S. mail, overnight mail, express mail, telephone, electronic mail, telefacsimile, telegraph, internet or other electronic
media. The waiver of notice need not specify either the business to be transacted or the purpose of any meeting of Shareholders.
Attendance by a Person at a meeting shall also constitute a waiver of notice of that meeting, except when the Person objects at
the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened and except
that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters not included in the notice
of the meeting if that objection is expressly made at the beginning of the meeting.

Section
7.10. Proxies. Every Person entitled to vote on any matter shall have the right to do so either in person or
by one or more agents authorized by a written or electronic proxy authorized by the Person and filed with the Sponsor. A proxy
shall be deemed authorized if the Shareholder’s name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewriting, telephonic
or internet transmission or otherwise) by the Shareholder or the Shareholder’s attorney-in-fact. A validly authorized proxy
which does not state that it is irrevocable shall continue in full force and effect unless (i) revoked by the Person executing
it before the vote pursuant to that proxy by a writing delivered to the Trust stating that the proxy is revoked or by a subsequent
proxy executed by, or attendance at the meeting and voting in person by, the Person executing that proxy; or (ii) written notice
of the death or incapacity of the maker of that proxy is received by the Trust before the vote pursuant to that proxy is counted;
provided however, that no proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date of the proxy unless otherwise
provided in the proxy.

Section
8.2. Maintenance of Other Records. The accounting books and records and minutes of proceedings of the Shareholders

ARTICLE
IX

REDEMPTIONS

Section
9.1. General. The procedures specified in the applicable Authorized Participant Agreement for each Fund will
govern the Trust with respect to the redemption of Redemption Units.

Section
9.2. Redemption Orders. On any Business Day, an Authorized Participant with respect to which an Authorized Participant
Agreement is in full force and effect (as reflected on the list maintained by the Sponsor pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof) may redeem
one or more Redemption Units of a Fund standing to the credit of the Authorized Participant on the records of the Depository by
delivering a request for redemption to the Transfer Agent or, if no Transfer Agent has been appointed with respect to such Fund,
the Sponsor (such request, a “Redemption Order”) in the manner specified in the procedures specified in the
Authorized Participant Agreement.

Section
9.3. Suspension and Rejection of Redemption Orders. For each Fund, the Sponsor shall have the absolute right,
but shall have no obligation, to suspend the right to redeem any Redemption Unit, or postpone any Redemption Order settlement date:
(i) for any period during which the Exchange is closed or when trading is suspended or restricted on the Exchange; (ii) for any
period during which an emergency exists as a result of which the fulfillment of a Redemption Order is not reasonably practicable;
or (iii) for such other period as the Sponsor determines in its sole and absolute discretion to be necessary for the protection
of the Shareholders of any Fund. The Sponsor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Administrator and the Transfer Agent shall not be
liable to any Person by reason of the suspension of the right to redeem Redemption Units or the postponement of any settlement
date of any Redemption Order in the circumstances listed in clauses (i) through (iii) in the preceding sentence. For each Fund,
the Sponsor shall have the absolute right, but shall have no obligation, to reject any Redemption Order: (i) determined by the
Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion not to be in proper form; (ii) that the Sponsor has determined in its sole and absolute
discretion would have adverse consequences to any Fund or any Shareholders; (iii) the acceptance or receipt of which would, in

    	46

    	 

    

the opinion of counsel to the Sponsor, be unlawful; or (iv) if circumstances outside the control of the Sponsor make it, for all
practical purposes, not feasible to process Redemption Orders for Redemption Units. The Sponsor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the
Administrator and the Transfer Agent shall not be liable to any Person by reason of the rejection of any Redemption Order in the
circumstances listed in clauses (i) through (iv) in the preceding sentence.

Section
9.4. Redemption Transaction Fees. For each Fund, non-refundable transaction fees will be payable by an
Authorized Participant to the Fund’s Custodian in connection with each Redemption Order pursuant to this Article IX
(each, a “Redemption Transaction Fee”). The Redemption Transaction Fees charged in connection with each
such redemption shall be as set forth in the applicable Authorized Participant Agreement for such Fund. The Redemption
Transaction Fee may subsequently be waived, modified, reduced, increased or otherwise changed by the Sponsor. The Sponsor
shall notify the Depository of any agreement to change the Redemption Transaction Fee and shall not implement any increase
for such period of time after that notice as is specified in the Authorized Participant Agreements for an amendment to any
such agreement to become effective following notice thereof to an Authorized Participant. Pursuant to the applicable
Authorized Participant Agreement, the Sponsor, in its sole and absolute discretion, may require additional payments in
connection with any Redemption Order. Any Redemption Transaction Fees received in connection with any Redemption Order for a
Fund shall not be considered received by the Fund or to be a part of such Fund’s Trust Estate (and such Fund shall have
no rights to such Redemption Transaction Fees) and may, among other things, be applied by the Sponsor to defray expenses
incurred by the Fund’s service providers in processing such transactions and the SEC registration fee expense borne
directly by the Sponsor on behalf of the Trust and its Funds.

Section
9.5. Cancellation of Redemption Units. Redemption Units effectively redeemed pursuant to the provisions of this
Article IX shall be cancelled by the Trust or the applicable Fund in accordance with the Depository’s procedures.

procedures with respect to redemption of Baskets of Shares in lot sizes smaller than the Redemption Unit and permitting the Redemption
Distribution to be in a form, and delivered in a manner, other than that specified in this Article IX.

Section
9.7. Mandatory Redemption by the Trust. The Sponsor, upon the dissolution of the Trust or any Fund pursuant to
Sections 11.3 or 12.2 hereof, shall cause the Trust, on behalf of the applicable Fund, to redeem all of the Shares of any dissolving
Fund at a redemption price equal to the Redemption Distribution that would be applicable if such Shares were then being redeemed
by the Shareholder pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof, and upon such conditions and under such procedures as may from time to time
be determined by the Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion. Upon redemption of Shares pursuant to this Section 9.7, the Trust,
on behalf of the applicable Fund, shall promptly cause payment of the full redemption price to be made to each Shareholder of Shares
so redeemed.

(a) Notwithstanding
any prior termination of this Trust Agreement, the Trustee and the Sponsor shall not, prior to the date which is one year and one

to invoke the process of any federal, state, local or foreign court or arbitrator or governmental department, commission, board,

(b) Each of the
Trustee, the Sponsor and each Shareholder, by acceptance of its Shares, hereby agrees that it will not institute against a Shareholder,
or join any other Person in instituting against a Shareholder, on account of its ownership of a Share or its obligations hereunder,
any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets or any similar proceeding so long as there
has not elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on which any Shares of any Fund shall have been issued and outstanding.

Section
12.2. Discretionary Termination of Trust or Funds.

(a) Unless terminated
as provided herein, the Trust, and any Fund, shall continue without limitation of time. The Trust or any Fund may be dissolved
at any time and for any reason, or no reason at all, by the Sponsor. The Sponsor shall set a date on which the Trust, or any Fund,
shall dissolve and deliver, or cause to be delivered, notice of that dissolution to the affected Shareholders. The Shareholders
shall have no rights to terminate or revoke the Trust or any Fund.

(b) On or after
dissolution of the Trust or any Fund, after paying or making reasonable provision for all charges, taxes, expenses, claims, obligations
and liabilities of the Trust, or severally, with respect to each Fund (or the applicable Fund), whether due or accrued or anticipated
as may be determined by the Sponsor and otherwise complying with section 3808 of the DSTA, the Sponsor shall wind up the business
and affairs of the Trust (or the applicable Fund) in accordance with section 3808 of the DSTA. Subject to the payment or the reasonable
provision of such payment by the Sponsor of the other charges, taxes, expenses, claims, obligations and liabilities of the Trust
(or the applicable Fund), as required by section 3808 of the DSTA, the Shareholders of the Trust or the dissolving Fund, as the
case may be, will be entitled to have their Shares in the Trust or such Fund redeemed pursuant to Section 9.7 hereof. The
Sponsor shall not accept any delivery of Baskets after the date of dissolution. If any Shares remain outstanding after the date
of dissolution of the Trust or the dissolved Fund, as the case may be, the Sponsor thereafter shall discontinue the registration
of transfers of such Shares, shall not make any distributions to Shareholders and shall not give any further notices, except that
the Sponsor shall continue to collect distributions pertaining to applicable Trust Estate, hold the same uninvested and without
liability for interest, pay pursuant to section 3808 of the DSTA the Trust’s expenses as set forth in this Trust Agreement,
sell Trust and Fund assets as necessary to meet those expenses, and deliver cash from the applicable Trust Estate, in exchange
for Shares surrendered to the Sponsor for redemption pursuant to Section 9.7 hereof (upon payment of, in each case, any Redemption
Transaction Fees for the surrender of such Shares) or otherwise under such other procedures the Sponsor deems, in its sole and
absolute discretion, to be appropriate. At any time after the expiration of ninety (90) days following the date of dissolution
of the Trust or the dissolved Fund, as the case may be, the Sponsor may sell, or cause the sale of, the applicable Trust Estate
then held under this Trust Agreement and may thereafter, after complying with section 3808 of the DSTA, cause to be held with the
applicable Custodian (or if no Custodian has been appointed with respect the dissolved Fund or Funds, such other Person as the
Sponsor shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion) uninvested the net proceeds of any such sale and without liability
for interest, for the pro rata benefit of the Shareholders of the Shares of the dissolved Fund or Funds that have not theretofore
been surrendered.

(c) Upon the completion

in accordance with the provisions of section 3810 of the DSTA and thereupon, the Trust and this Trust Agreement (other than Sections
2.4 and 5.9 hereof) shall terminate. The provisions of Sections 2.4 and 5.9 hereof shall survive the termination of the Trust.
After making such filing, the Trustee and the Sponsor shall be discharged from all obligations under this Trust Agreement, except
to account for the net proceeds of any asset sale pursuant to Section 12.2(b) hereof and other cash of the Trust or any dissolved
Fund.

Fund or another series of another Person; (iii) the Shares of the Trust or any Fund to be converted into beneficial interests
in another statutory trust (or series thereof); or (iv) the Shares of the Trust or any Fund to be exchanged for shares in
another trust or company under or pursuant to any state or U.S. federal statute to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(b) For the avoidance
of doubt, the Sponsor, with written notice to the Shareholders, may approve and effect any of the transactions contemplated under
Section 12.3(a)(i) – (iv) hereof without any vote or other action of the Shareholders.

(c) In accordance
with section 3815(f) of the DSTA, an agreement of merger or consolidation may effect any amendment to this Trust Agreement or effect
the adoption of a new trust agreement of the Trust if the Trust is the surviving or resulting business trust following a merger
or consolidation; provided, however, that no such amendment may alter any rights, powers, duties, immunities or protections of
the Trustee without its written consent.

Section
12.4. Filing of Copies. The original or a copy of this Trust Agreement and of each restatement hereof and/or
amendment hereto shall be kept at the office of the Trust where it may be inspected by any Shareholder. Anyone dealing with the
Trust may rely on a certificate by the Sponsor as to whether or not any such restatements and/or amendments have been made and
as to any matters in connection with the Trust hereunder; and, with the same effect as if it were the original, may rely on a copy
certified by the Sponsor to be a copy of this instrument or of any such restatements and/or amendments.

Section
12.5. Applicable Law. This Trust Agreement is created under and is to be governed by and construed and administered
according to the laws of the State of Delaware, including the DSTA. As between the Sponsor, on the one hand, and the Shareholders,
on the other hand, the Sponsor may construe any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement insofar as the same may appear to be
ambiguous or inconsistent with any other provisions hereof, and any such construction hereof by the Sponsor in good faith shall
be conclusive and binding on the Shareholders as to the meaning to be given to such provisions notwithstanding any other provision
of this Trust Agreement. In construing this Trust Agreement, the presumption shall be in favor of a grant of power to the Sponsor.

    	51

    	 

    

Section 12.6.
Provisions in Conflict with Law or Regulations.

(a) The provisions
of this Trust Agreement are severable, and if the Sponsor determines, with the advice of counsel, that any of such provisions are
in conflict with any other applicable laws and regulations, the conflicting provision(s) shall be deemed never to have constituted
a part of the Trust Agreement; provided, however, that such determination shall not affect any of the remaining provisions of the
Trust Agreement or render invalid any action taken or omitted prior to such determination.

(b) If any provision
of this Trust Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach
only to such provision in such jurisdiction and shall not in any manner affect such provision in any other jurisdiction or any
other provision of the Trust Agreement in any jurisdiction.

Section
12.7. Contracts and Instruments; How Executed. The Sponsor may authorize any officer or officers, or agent or
agents, to enter into any contract or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the Trust and this authority may be
general or confined to specific instances; and unless so authorized or ratified by the Sponsor or within the agency power of an
officer, no officer, agent, or employee shall have any power or authority to bind the Trust by any contract or engagement or to
pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose or for any amount.

Section
12.8. Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Trust and of each Fund shall be fixed and refixed or changed from time
to time by resolution of the Sponsor.

Section
12.9. Counterparts. The Trust Agreement may be simultaneously executed in several counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts, together, shall constitute one and the same instrument, which shall be
sufficiently evidenced by any such original counterpart.

Section
12.10. Internal References; Headings.

(a) In this Trust
Agreement or in any amendment hereto, references to this Trust Agreement, and all expressions such as “herein,” “hereto”
“hereof” and “hereunder,” shall be deemed to refer to this Trust Agreement as a whole and as amended or
affected by any such amendment.

(b) Headings are
placed herein for convenience of reference only, and in case of any conflict, the text of this instrument, rather than the headings,
shall control.

(c) Whenever the
singular number is used herein, the same shall include the plural; and the neuter, masculine and feminine genders shall include
each other, as applicable.

Section
12.11. Limitations on Individual Liability. This Trust Agreement has been entered into and was executed and delivered
by officers of the Sponsor and the Trustee, which officers were acting solely in their capacities as officers of the Sponsor and
the Trustee, as the case may be, and not in their individual capacities. The obligations of this Trust Agreement are not binding
on such officers of the Sponsor or the Trustee. The obligations of this Trust 

    	52

    	 

    

Agreement are binding only upon the Sponsor, the
Trustee, any Shareholder (pursuant to Section 3.1(d) hereof), and the assets and property of the Trust (including any such assets
and property belonging or attributable to any Fund).

Section
12.12. Filing of Tax Returns, Etc. For the avoidance of doubt, the Sponsor is authorized to, and shall, prepare,
execute and file any required tax returns of the Trust or any Fund, and make any elections on behalf of the Trust or any Fund under
the Code, or any other applicable tax law, as the Sponsor shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion to be in the best
interests of the Trust or any Fund, including elections to treat each Fund as a separate “corporation” for U.S. federal
(and, if applicable state and local) income tax purposes. The Trustee and any Shareholder shall take such actions as the Sponsor
reasonably requests and determines necessary or advisable, in its discretion, to allow the Sponsor to take such actions as are
contemplated by the preceding sentence, including, without limitation, the provision of such powers of attorney or other such documents
as may be necessary to permit the Sponsor to execute and file tax returns of the Trust or any Fund.

ARTICLE
XIII

AMENDMENT

Section
13.1. Amendment.

(a) The Sponsor
may amend any provisions of this Trust Agreement without the consent of any Shareholder. Any amendment that imposes or increases
any fees or charges (other than taxes and other governmental charges) or prejudices a substantial existing right or power of the
Shareholders will not become effective until thirty (30) days after notice of such amendment is given, or caused to be given, by
the Sponsor to the Shareholders. Every Shareholder, at the time any such amendment 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 Trust Agreement as amended
thereby. In no event shall any amendment impair the right of a Shareholder to redeem Baskets and receive therefor the amount of
the Trust Estate of the applicable Fund represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable
law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement, no amendment to this Trust Agreement may be made if such amendment
would cause the Trust to be treated as a “partnership,” or any Fund to be taxable other than as a “corporation,”
in each case for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes.

(b) No amendment
made to this Trust Agreement without the written consent of the Trustee shall be binding upon or effective against the Trustee
if such amendment adversely affects any of its rights, powers, duties, obligations, liabilities or responsibilities.

RESPECT TO THE FUND OR ITS AGENT 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

This is
to certify that CEDE & CO. is the owner and registered holder of this Certificate evidencing the ownership of all issued
and outstanding Up Shares (“Up Shares”) of [•] (the “Fund”).
Each Up Share represents a fractional undivided share of beneficial interest in the Fund. The Fund has been established and designated
as a series of AccuShares Commodities Trust I (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust formed under the DSTA pursuant
to a Certificate of Trust, dated as of and filed in the offices of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 28,

At any given time
this Certificate shall represent all shares of beneficial interest in the Up Shares Class of the Fund, which shall be the total
number of Up Shares that are outstanding at such time. The Trust Agreement provides for the deposit of cash with the Fund from
time to time and the issuance by the Trust, with respect to the Fund, of additional Creation Units representing the undivided shares
of beneficial interest in the assets of the Fund. At the request of the registered holder this Certificate may be exchanged for
one or more Certificates issued to the registered holder in such denominations as the registered holder may request, provided,

                                         identical to this Form of Global Certificate.

    	A-1

    	 

    

The registered
holder of this Certificate is entitled at any time upon tender of this Certificate and the Certificate evidencing the ownership
of all issued and outstanding Down Shares of the Fund to the Fund, endorsed in blank or accompanied by all necessary instruments
of assignment and transfer in proper form, at its principal office in the State of New Jersey and, upon payment of any tax or other
governmental charges, to receive at the time and in the manner provided in the Trust Agreement, such holder’s ratable portion
of the assets of the Fund for each Redemption Unit tendered and evidenced by such Certificates.

The holder of this
Certificate, by virtue of the purchase and acceptance hereof, assents to and shall be bound by the terms of the Trust Agreement,
copies of which are on file and available for inspection at reasonable times during business hours at the principal office of the
Trust, to which reference is made for all the terms, conditions and covenants thereof.

The Fund may deem
and treat the person in whose name this Certificate is registered upon the books of the Fund as the owner hereof for all purposes
and the Fund shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Trust
Agreement permits the amendment thereof without the consent of any Shareholders, provided that any amendment that
imposes or increases any fees or charges (other than taxes and other governmental charges) or prejudices a substantial
existing right or power of the Shareholders will not become effective until thirty (30) days after notice of such amendment
is given, or caused to be given, by the Sponsor to the Shareholders, and provided further that in no event shall any
amendment impair the right of a Shareholder to redeem Baskets and receive therefor the amount of the Fund’s Trust
Estate represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law. Every holder of Up Shares,
at the time any amendment becomes effective, shall be deemed, by continuing to hold any Up Shares or an interest therein, to
consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by the Trust Agreement as amended thereby. No amendment to the Trust
Agreement may be made if such amendment would cause the Trust to be taxable as a “partnership,” or any Fund to be
taxable as other than a “corporation,” in each case for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income
tax purposes.

In accordance with
Section 3.6 of the Trust Agreement, the holder of this Certificate agrees and consents (the “Consent”) to look
solely to the assets (the “Fund Assets”) of the Fund for payment in respect of any claim against or obligation of the
Fund. The Fund Assets include only those funds and other assets that are paid, held or distributed to the Trust on account of and
for the benefit of the Fund, including, without limitation, funds delivered to the Trust for the purchase of shares in the Fund.

In furtherance
of the Consent, the holder agrees that any debts, liabilities, obligations, expenses, costs, charges, interests, claims, indemnities
and reserves of any nature and all kinds and descriptions (“Claims”) incurred, contracted for, attributable to or otherwise
existing with respect to the Fund, including the Up Shares, shall be enforceable against the assets of the Fund only, and not against
the assets of the Trust generally or of any other series of the Trust and, unless otherwise provided by the Sponsor, none of the
Claims incurred, contracted for, attributable to or otherwise existing with respect to the Trust generally or any other series
of the Trust shall be enforceable against the assets of the Fund. Any general Claims of the Trust which are not readily identifiable
as being held with respect to any particular series shall be allocated and charged by the Sponsor to and among any one or more
of the series in such manner and on such basis as the Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion deems fair and equitable. Notice
of the contractual limitation on liabilities among series described in the first sentence of this paragraph is set forth in the
Certificate of Trust of the Trust (whether originally or by amendment) as filed in the Office of the Secretary of State of the
State of Delaware pursuant to the DSTA, and the statutory provisions of section 3804 of the DSTA relating to limitations on liabilities
among series (and the statutory effect under section 3804 of the DSTA of setting forth such notice in the certificate of trust)
are applicable to the Trust and each series thereof. Any Person extending credit to, contracting with or having any claim against
any series of the Trust may look only to the assets of such series to satisfy or enforce any Claim with respect to such series.
No Shareholder or former Shareholder of any series of the Trust shall have a claim on or any right to any assets allocated or belonging
to any other series, except to the extent that such Shareholder or former Shareholder has such a claim or right under the Trust
Agreement as a Shareholder or former Shareholder of such other series.

The foregoing Consent
shall apply at all times notwithstanding that the Claims are satisfied, that the Up Shares represented by this Certificate are
sold, transferred, redeemed or in any way disposed of, and that the agreements in respect of such Claims are terminated, rescinded
or canceled.

RESPECT TO THE FUND OR ITS AGENT 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

This is
to certify that CEDE & CO. is the owner and registered holder of this Certificate evidencing the ownership of all issued
and outstanding Down Shares (“Down Shares”) of [•] (the “Fund”).
Each Down Share represents a fractional undivided share of beneficial interest in the Fund. The Fund has been established and designated
as a series of AccuShares Commodities Trust I (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust formed under the DSTA pursuant
to a Certificate of Trust, dated as of and filed in the offices of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 28,
2013, and a Second Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of [•], 2014, by AccuShares
Investment Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as Sponsor, and Wilmington Trust, N.A., a
national banking association, as Trustee (hereinafter called the “Trust Agreement”), copies of which are available
at the principal offices of the Trust.

At any given time
this Certificate shall represent all shares of beneficial interest in the Down Shares Class of the Fund, which shall be the total
number of Down Shares that are outstanding at such time. The Trust Agreement provides for the deposit of cash with the Fund from
time to time and the issuance by the Trust, with respect to the Fund, of additional Creation Units representing the undivided shares
of beneficial interest in the assets of the Fund. At the request of the registered holder this Certificate may be exchanged for
one or more Certificates issued to the registered holder in such denominations as the registered holder may request, provided,
however, that, in the aggregate, the Certificates issued to the registered holder hereof shall represent all Down Shares
outstanding at any given time.

Each Authorized
Participant hereby grants and conveys all of its rights, title and interest in and to the Fund to the extent of the undivided interest
represented hereby to the registered holder of this Certificate subject to and in pursuance of the Trust Agreement, all the terms,
conditions and covenants of which are incorporated herein as if fully set forth at length.

The registered
holder of this Certificate is entitled at any time upon tender of this Certificate and the Certificate evidencing the ownership
of all issued and outstanding Up Shares of the Fund to the Fund, endorsed in blank or accompanied by all necessary instruments
of assignment and transfer in proper form, at its principal office in the State of New Jersey and, upon payment of any tax or other
governmental charges, to receive at the time and in the manner provided in the Trust Agreement, such holder’s ratable portion
of the assets of the Fund for each Redemption Unit tendered and evidenced by such Certificates.

The holder of this
Certificate, by virtue of the purchase and acceptance hereof, assents to and shall be bound by the terms of the Trust Agreement,
copies of which are on file and available for inspection at reasonable times during business hours at the principal office of the
Trust, to which reference is made for all the terms, conditions and covenants thereof.

The Fund may deem
and treat the person in whose name this Certificate is registered upon the books of the Fund as the owner hereof for all purposes
and the Fund shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Trust Agreement
permits the amendment thereof without the consent of any Shareholders, provided that any amendment that imposes or increases
any fees or charges (other than taxes and other governmental charges) or prejudices a substantial existing right or power of the
Shareholders will not become effective until thirty (30) days after notice of such amendment is given, or caused to be given, by
the Sponsor to the Shareholders, and provided further that in no event shall any amendment impair the right of a Shareholder
to redeem Baskets and receive therefor the amount of the Fund’s Trust Estate represented thereby, except in order to comply
with mandatory provisions of applicable law. Every holder of Down Shares, at the time any amendment becomes effective, shall be
deemed, by continuing to hold any Down Shares or an interest therein, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by
the Trust Agreement as amended thereby. No amendment to the Trust Agreement may be made if such amendment would cause the Trust
to be taxable as a “partnership,” or any Fund to be
taxable as other than a “corporation,” in each case for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income
tax purposes

In accordance with
Section 3.6 of the Trust Agreement, the holder of this Certificate agrees and consents (the “Consent”) to look
solely to the assets (the “Fund Assets”) of the Fund for payment in respect of any claim against or obligation of the
Fund. The Fund Assets include only those funds and other assets that are paid, held or distributed to the Trust on account of and
for the benefit of the Fund, including, without limitation, funds delivered to the Trust for the purchase of shares in the Fund.

In furtherance
of the Consent, the holder agrees that any debts, liabilities, obligations, expenses, costs, charges, interests, claims, indemnities
and reserves of any nature and all kinds and descriptions (“Claims”) incurred, contracted for, attributable to or otherwise
existing with respect to the Fund, including the Down Shares, shall be enforceable against the assets of the Fund only, and not
against the assets of the Trust generally or of any other series of the Trust and, unless otherwise provided by the Sponsor, none
of the Claims incurred, contracted for, attributable to or otherwise existing with respect to the Trust generally or any other
series of the Trust shall be enforceable against the assets of the Fund. Any general Claims of the Trust which are not readily
identifiable as being held with respect to any particular series shall be allocated and charged by the Sponsor to and among any
one or more of the series in such manner and on such basis as the Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion deems fair and equitable.
Notice of the contractual limitation on liabilities among series described in the first sentence of this paragraph is set forth
in the Certificate of Trust of the Trust (whether originally or by amendment) as filed in the Office of the Secretary of State
of the State of Delaware pursuant to the DSTA, and the statutory provisions of section 3804 of the DSTA relating to limitations
on liabilities among series (and the statutory effect under section 3804 of the DSTA of setting forth such notice in the certificate
of trust) are applicable to the Trust and each series thereof. Any Person extending credit to, contracting with or having any claim
against any series of the Trust may look only to the assets of such series to satisfy or enforce any Claim with respect to such
series. No Shareholder or former Shareholder of any series of the Trust shall have a claim on or any right to any assets allocated
or belonging to any other series, except to the extent that such Shareholder or former Shareholder has such a claim or right under
the Trust Agreement as a Shareholder or former Shareholder of such other series.

The foregoing Consent
shall apply at all times notwithstanding that the Claims are satisfied, that the Down Shares represented by this Certificate are
sold, transferred, redeemed or in any way disposed of, and that the agreements in respect of such Claims are terminated, rescinded
or canceled.
