 Exhibit 10.5 
 DISTRIBUTION SERVICES AGREEMENT 
  DISTRIBUTION SERVICES AGREEMENT dated as of November
    , 2006 (this “Agreement”) among PowerShares DB Multi-Sector Commodity Trust, a Delaware statutory trust organized in series (the “Trust”), each series of the Trust as set forth on
Schedule A attached hereto, and as it may be amended from time-to-time (individually, each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), ALPS Distributors, Inc., a Colorado corporation and a registered
broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Distributor”), and DB Commodity Services LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Managing Owner”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this
Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Trust’s Prospectus included its Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-135422), as it may be amended from time-to-time. 
  WHEREAS, the Managing Owner serves as the sole managing owner of each Fund; and 
 WHEREAS, each Fund wishes to employ Distributor in connection with the performance of the services listed in Schedule B and additional services as
may be agreed from time-to-time. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and undertakings herein contained, the parties
agree as follows: 
 1. Documents — The Trust has furnished or will furnish, upon request, the Distributor with copies of the Trust’s or, as
applicable, each Fund’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, advisory agreement, custodian agreement, transfer agency agreement, administration agreement, current prospectus, and statement of additional information, and all forms relating
to any plan, program or service offered by each Fund. The Trust shall, on behalf of each Fund, furnish, within a reasonable time period, to the Distributor a copy of any amendment or supplement to any of the above-mentioned documents. Upon request,
the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, shall furnish promptly to the Distributor any additional documents necessary or advisable to perform its functions hereunder. As used in this Agreement the terms “registration statement,”
“prospectus” and “statement of additional information” shall mean any registration statement, prospectus and statement of additional information filed by the Trust and each Fund with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) and any amendments and supplements thereto that are filed with the SEC. 
 2. Authorized Representations — The
Distributor is not authorized by the Trust or any Fund to give any information or to make any representations other than those contained in the registration statement or prospectus and statement of additional information, or contained in shareholder
reports or other material that may be prepared by or on behalf of the Trust or any Fund for the Distributor’s use. Consistent with the foregoing, the Distributor may prepare and distribute sales literature or other material as it may deem
appropriate in consultation with the Trust and the Managing Owner, provided such sales literature complies with applicable law and regulations. 
 3.
Registration of Shares — The Trust agrees that it will take all action necessary to register the Shares of each Fund under the Securities Act (subject to the necessary approval of its shareholders). The Trust shall make available to the
Distributor, at the Distributor’s expense, such number of copies of its prospectus and statement of additional information as the Distributor may reasonably request. The Trust shall furnish to the Distributor copies of all information,
financial statements and other papers, which the Distributor may reasonably request for use in connection with the distribution of Shares of each Fund. 
 4.
Fees and Fund Expenses — (a) In consideration of the services to be performed for each Fund by the Distributor hereunder as set forth on Schedule B attached hereto and as it may be amended from time-to-time, the Managing
Owner will pay the Distributor a fee in an amount to be agreed upon in writing by 

 the parties hereto from time-to-time, subject to any limitation imposed by any law, rule or regulation applicable to any
of the parties hereto. It is understood and agreed among the parties hereto that certain of the services to be performed by the Distributor hereunder will be performed using registered representatives of the Distributor who are affiliates or
employees of PowerShares Capital Management LLC. 
 (b) The Managing Owner shall reimburse the Distributor for any reasonable fees or
disbursements incurred by the Distributor in connection with the performance by the Distributor of its duties under and pursuant to this Agreement with the prior written consent of the Managing Owner. Further, unless otherwise agreed to by the
parties hereto in writing, the Distributor shall not be responsible for fees and expenses in connection with (a) filing of any registration statement, printing and the distribution of any prospectus and statement of additional information under
the Securities Act and amendments prepared for use in connection with the offering of Shares for sale to the public, preparing, setting in type, printing and mailing the prospectus, statement of additional information and any supplements thereto
sent to existing shareholders, (b) preparing, setting in type, printing and mailing any report (including annual and semi-annual reports) or other communication to shareholders of the Funds, and (c) the Blue Sky registration and
qualification of Shares for sale in the various states in which the officers of each Fund shall determine it advisable to qualify such Shares for sale (including registering the Trust or any Fund as a broker or dealer or any officer of the Trust or
any Fund as agent or salesman in any state). 
  (c) The payments to the Distributor under subsections 4(a) and 4(b) will not, in the
aggregate, exceed 0.25% of the aggregate dollar amount of the offering (in a dollar amount equal to the amount disclosed on Schedule C of the aggregate amount registered on the Registration Statement on Form S-1 in respect of the Trust). Schedule C
will be amended from time-to-time in the event that additional amounts of shares are registered. The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, will advise the Distributor if the payments described hereunder must be limited, when combined with selling
commissions charged by other NASD members, in order to comply with the 10% limitation on total underwriters’ compensation pursuant to NASD Rule 2810. 
  5. Use of the Distributor’s Name — Neither the Trust nor any Fund shall use the name of the Distributor, or any of its affiliates, in any prospectus or statement of additional information, sales literature, and other
material relating to the Funds in any manner without the prior written consent of the Distributor (which shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that the Distributor hereby approves all lawful uses of the names of the
Distributor and its affiliates in the prospectus and statement of additional information of each Fund and in all other materials which merely refer to accurate terms to their appointment hereunder or which are required by the SEC, NASD, OCC or any
state securities authority. 
 6. Use of the Trust’s and Funds’ Name — Neither the Distributor nor any of its affiliates shall use the
name of the Trust or any Fund in any publicly disseminated materials, including sales literature in any manner without the prior consent of the Trust and/or the applicable Fund (which shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided,
however, that the Trust and each Fund hereby approve all lawful uses of their respective names in any required regulatory filings of the Distributor which merely refer in accurate terms to the appointment of the Distributor hereunder, or
which are required by the SEC, NASD, OCC or any state securities authority. 
  7. Indemnification — Subject to the limitations set forth in
Paragraph 12 below, each Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor and each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any
loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damage or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising out of the actions of
the officers, employees or agents of AIM Distributors, Inc. or by reason of any person acquiring any Shares, based upon the ground that the 
   

 2 

  registration statement, prospectus, statement of additional information, shareholder reports or other information
filed or made public by any Fund (as from time-to-time amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading under the
Securities Act or any other statute or the common law. However, each Fund does not agree to indemnify the Distributor or hold it harmless to the extent that the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information
furnished to it by or on behalf of the Distributor. In no case (i) is the indemnity of any Fund in favor of the Distributor or any person indemnified to be deemed to protect the Distributor or any person against any liability to a Fund or its
security holders to which the Distributor or such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under
this Agreement, or (ii) is a Fund to be liable under its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph with respect to any claim made against the Distributor or any person indemnified unless the Distributor or person, as the case may be,
shall have notified the applicable Fund in writing of the claim promptly after the summons or other first written notification giving information of the nature of the claims shall have been served upon the Distributor or any such person (or after
the Distributor or such person shall have received notice of service on any designated agent). However, failure to notify a Fund of any claim shall not relieve that Fund from any liability which it may have to any person against whom such action is
brought otherwise than on account of its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph. Each Fund shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense, or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any
claims, and if a Fund elects to assume the defense, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by such Fund. In the event a Fund elects to assume the defense of any suit and retain counsel, the Distributor, officers or directors or controlling
person(s) or defendant(s) in the suit, shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by them. If a Fund does not elect to assume the defense of any suit, it will reimburse the Distributor, officers or directors or controlling
person(s) or defendant(s) in the suit for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them. Each Fund agrees to notify the Distributor promptly of the commencement of any litigation or proceeding against it or any of its officers in
connection with the issuance or sale of any of the Shares. 
 The Distributor also covenants and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust and each
Fund, the Managing Owner, and each of their respective officers, representatives or agents and each person, if any, who controls the Trust and each Fund or the Managing Owner within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (each, an
“Indemnified Party”), against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damage or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in
connection therewith) arising by reason of any person acquiring any Shares, based upon the Securities Act or any other statute or common law, alleging (a) any wrongful act of the Distributor or any of its employees or (b) that any sales
literature, advertisements, information, statements or representations used or made by the Distributor or any of its affiliates or employees or that the registration statement, prospectus, statement of additional information, (as from time-to-time
amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading, insofar as the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in
conformity with, information furnished to such Fund or Managing Owner by or on behalf of the Distributor. In no case (i) is the indemnity of the Distributor in favor of any Indemnified Party to be deemed to protect any such party against any
liability to which the Indemnified Party would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement,
or (ii) is the Distributor to be liable under its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph with respect to any claim made against any Indemnified Party unless such Indemnified Party shall have notified the Distributor in writing of the
claim promptly after the summons or other first written notification giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon such Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party shall have received notice of service on any
designated agent). However, failure to notify the Distributor of any claim shall not relieve the Distributor from any liability 
   

 3 

  which it may have to the Indemnified Party against whom the action is brought otherwise than on account of its
indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph. In the case of any notice to the Distributor it shall be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in the defense or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any
claims, and if the Distributor elects to assume the defense, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by it and satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, to its officers and to any controlling person(s), or defendant(s) in the suit. In the
event that the Distributor elects to assume the defense of any suit and retain counsel, the Indemnified Party or controlling person(s), defendant(s) in the suit, shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by them. If the
Distributor does not elect to assume the defense of any suit, it will reimburse the Indemnified Party, officers or controlling person(s) or defendant(s) in the suit for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them. The
Distributor agrees to notify the Indemnified Party promptly of the commencement of any litigation or proceeding against it in connection with the Indemnified Party and sale of any of the Shares. 
  8. Supplemental Information — The Distributor and the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, shall regularly consult with each other regarding the Distributor’s
performance of its obligations under this Agreement. In connection therewith, the Trust, on behalf of each Fund shall submit to the Distributor at a reasonable time in advance of filing with the SEC reasonably final copies of any amended or
supplemented registration statement (including exhibits) under the Securities Act; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way limit the Trust’s or any Fund’s right to file at any time such
amendments to any registration statement and/or supplements to any prospectus or statement of additional information, of whatever character, as the Trust or such Fund may deem advisable, such right being in all respects absolute and unconditional.

 The Distributor acknowledges that the only information provided to it by the Trust and each Fund is that contained in the registration statement, the
prospectus, the statement of additional information and reports and financial information referred to herein. Neither the Distributor nor any other person is authorized by the Trust or any Fund to give any information or to make any representations,
other than those contained in such documents and any sales literature or advertisements specifically approved by appropriate representatives of the Trust, on behalf of each Fund. 
  9. Term — This Agreement shall become effective as of November     , 2006, and shall continue until two years from such date and thereafter shall continue automatically for
successive annual periods, provided that such continuance is specifically approved (with respect to each individual Fund) at least annually by the Managing Owner. This Agreement is terminable, with respect to each individual Fund, without penalty on
sixty (60) days’ written notice by the Managing Owner or by the Distributor. This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its assignment. 
  Upon the termination of this Agreement by any one or more of the Funds, at the expense and direction of the applicable Fund, the Distributor shall transfer to such successor, as the applicable Fund shall specify all
relevant books, records and other data established or maintained by the Distributor for such Fund under this Agreement. 
 10. Notice — Any
notice required or permitted to be given by any party to another party shall be deemed sufficient if sent by (i) telecopier (fax) or (ii) registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed by the party giving notice to the other
party at the last address furnished by the other party to the party giving notice:

 11. Confidential Information — The Distributor, its officers, directors, employees and agents will treat confidentially and as proprietary information of
each Fund, all records and other information relative to each Fund and to prior or present shareholders or to those persons or entities who respond to the Distributor’s inquiries concerning investment in a particular Fund, and will not use such
records and information for any purposes other than performance of its responsibilities and duties hereunder. If the Distributor is requested or required by, but not limited to, depositions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents,
subpoena, civil investigation, demand or other action, proceeding or process or as otherwise required by law, statute, regulation, writ, decree or the like to disclose such information, the Distributor will provide the applicable Fund with prompt
written notice of any such request or requirement so that particular Fund may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with this provision. If such order or other remedy is not sought, or obtained, or
waiver not received within a reasonable period following such notice, then the Distributor may without liability hereunder, disclose to the person, entity or agency requesting or requiring the information, that portion of the information that is
legally required in the reasonable opinion of the Distributor’s counsel. 
 12. Limitation of Liability —The Distributor agrees that,
pursuant to Section 3804(a) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, the liabilities of each Fund shall be limited such that (a) the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing and relating to
this Agreement with respect to a particular Fund shall be enforceable against the assets of that particular Fund only, and not against the assets of the Trust generally or the assets of any other Fund and (b) none of the debts, liabilities,
obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for, or otherwise existing and relating to this Agreement with respect to the Trust generally and any other Fund shall be enforceable against the assets of such particular Fund. The Distributor further
agrees that it shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligation from the shareholders, any individual shareholder, officer, representative or agent of the Trust or any Fund, nor shall the Distributor seek satisfaction of any such obligation from
the Managing Owner, its members, managers, directors or officers. 
 Obligations of the Trust or any Fund entered into in the name or on behalf thereof by
the Managing Owner, members managers, officers, representatives or agents are made not individually, but in such capacities, and are not binding upon any of the Managing Owner, members, managers, or officers, representatives or agents personally,
but bind only the property of a particular Fund party to said obligation, and all persons dealing with such Fund must look solely to that Fund’s property for the enforcement of any claims against that Fund. 
 13. Miscellaneous — Each party agrees to perform such further acts and execute such further documents as are necessary to effectuate the purposes hereof.
Except with respect to Paragraph 12 above, which shall be construed, interpreted, and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, this Agreement shall be construed, interpreted, and enforced in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of Colorado. The captions in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and in no way define or delimit any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect. This

may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

registered under the Exchange Act.

 12Form of Marketing Agreement

 Exhibit 10.6 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED MARKETING AGREEMENT 
 (1) This amended and restated Marketing Agreement
(“Agreement”) amends and restates the Marketing Agreement among the parties hereto, effective on or about September 18, 2006 (the “Original Agreement”) and this Agreement addresses the terms by which DB
Commodity Services LLC (“DBCS”) retains the services of AIM Distributors, Inc. (“AIM”) to assist in marketing activities with respect to certain DBCS related products. DBCS serves as the Managing Owner,
commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor for those several Delaware statutory trusts and each series of those that are organized in multiple issues (each a statutory or series “Trust”) set forth on Exhibit A
attached hereto. The Trusts are exchange-traded funds (each related master and feeder, collectively, a “Fund”) structured as commodity pools under the Commodity Exchange Act. The list of all Funds currently covered by this Agreement
is set forth on Exhibit A. This Agreement is effective as of the effective date of the Original Agreement. 
 (2) A registration statement
either is effective or has been filed with the SEC in respect of the shares of each of the Funds. Each of the Funds issues and redeems its shares only in large aggregations and only to or through certain qualified financial institutions. Certain
marketing-related services currently are performed for the benefit of the Funds on a non-exclusive basis by ALPS Distributors, Inc., as described in the registration statement of each of the Funds. 
 (3) DBCS desires to retain AIM to provide certain additional marketing services for DBCS in respect of the Funds. AIM will provide various educational and
marketing activities regarding the Funds, primarily in the secondary trading market, which activities will include, but not be limited to, communicating each Fund’s name, characteristics, uses, benefits, and risks, consistent with the relevant
registration statement. 
 (4) DBCS understands that AIM’s marketing activities in connection with the Funds will include but not be
limited to: (a) engaging in public seminars, road shows, conferences, media interviews; (b) fielding incoming telephone “800” number calls; (c) distributing sales literature and other communications (including electronic
media) regarding the Funds; and (d) other services reasonably contemplated and agreed to by DBCS and AIM. All of the foregoing activities are referred to herein as “Marketing”. AIM shall perform these services in a professional
and competent manner and shall provide such office space and equipment, telephone facilities, and personnel as it determines may be reasonably necessary or beneficial in order to provide such services. 
 (5) While AIM is authorized by DBCS to solicit purchases of the Funds’ shares, it is understood that AIM will not open or maintain customer accounts
or handle orders for the Funds. AIM represents that it and its employees who engage in Marketing the Funds at all times will be properly registered with and licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and will be
members in good standing of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or any relevant subsidiary thereof (the “NASD”), as applicable. AIM further represents and covenants that such employees will comply with all
applicable laws, rules and regulations in connection with the Marketing of the Funds, and its employees’ oral and written disclosure concerning the Funds will be substantially in accord with the form 

 
and content of the Fund Sales Materials (as defined in Section 8 below). AIM agrees that it will not use written materials other than the Fund Sales
Materials without the prior written consent of DBCS. 
 (6) For Marketing the Funds, DBCS will pay to AIM an annual fee (“Annual
Fee”) calculated based upon the average amount of the daily net assets of all of the Funds during each calendar year in calculated U.S. dollars (the “Total Net Assets”). The Annual Fee is calculated as follows: 

 

	 	a)	Ten basis points (0.10%) per annum (which is 0.025% per quarter) on the first $3 billion of the Total Net Assets; 

  

	 	b)	twelve basis points (0.12%) per annum (which is 0.03% per quarter) on the next $2 billion of Total Net Assets (i.e. the amount of Total Nets Assets above $3 billion but
below $5 billion); and 

  

	 	c)	fifteen basis points (0.15%) per annum (which is 0.375% per quarter) on the Total Net Assets in excess of $5 billion. 

 The Annual Fee is to be paid quarterly in arrears and shall be calculated in the same manner and using the same procedures and conventions used to calculate the
management fee paid to DBCS as described in each Fund’s prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, and prorated for partial quarters if this Agreement becomes effective on a date that is not the first day of a calendar
quarter or is terminated on a day that is not the last day of a calendar quarter. 
 The payments to AIM under this Section 6 will not, in the
aggregate, exceed 8.75% of the aggregate dollar amount of each offering (in a dollar amount equal to the amount disclosed on Exhibit C of the aggregate amount registered on the Registration Statement on Form S-1 in respect of each Trust). Exhibit C
will be amended from time-to-time in the event that additional amounts of Shares are registered. Each Trust, on behalf of each Fund, will advise AIM if the payments described hereunder must be limited, when combined with selling commissions charged
by other NASD members, in order to comply with the 10% limitation on total underwriters’ compensation pursuant to NASD Rule 2810. 
 (7)
DBCS will furnish AIM, upon request and without charge, each Fund’s current prospectus, and copies of sales materials filed with the NASD by such Fund’s distributor (“Fund Sales Materials”) in such quantities as are
reasonably requested by AIM. 
 (8) DBCS represents that it is a commodity pool operator properly registered with the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission (“CFTC”) and a member in good standing of the National Futures Association (“NFA”). DBCS further represents that Fund Sales Materials provided to AIM by DBCS for use in AIM’s Marketing
activities for the Funds will comply with all applicable rules and regulations and be filed by DBCS’s distributor with all applicable regulatory agencies, including the NASD’s Advertising Regulation Department. Further, DBCS agrees to
indemnify AIM and hold AIM harmless from any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) from any claim, demand, action or suit arising out of or in connection with Fund Sales Materials

	 	a)	For DBCS. 

 It shall be considered DBCS’ Measurable

	 	(i)	DBCS shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion, acting reasonably and in good faith, that AIM has failed to demonstrate an expected level of performance based on a
combination of (x) meeting the Minimum Target assets under management (“AUM”) collectively in the Funds listed on Exhibit A in the time frames outlined on the table below, and (xx) AIM’s material
deviation from its customary sales practices, or 

  

	 	(ii)	AIM’s acts or omissions result in a material breach of applicable law, rule or regulation, or bankruptcy, fraud, negligence, or misconduct in the performance of AIM’s
duties under this Agreement. 

  

	 	b)	For AIM. 

 It shall be considered AIM’s Measurable
Dissatisfaction if: 
  

	 	(i)	AIM shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion, acting reasonably and in good faith, that DBCS has failed to demonstrate an expected level of performance which shall
encompass the combination of DBCS’s dedication of time and resources to the management and operational support of the products as indicated by, among other things, the Funds meeting their stated investment objective; or

  

 6 

	 	(ii)	DBCS’ acts or omissions result in a material breach of applicable law, rule or regulation, or bankruptcy, fraud, negligence, or misconduct in the performance of DBCS’s
duties under this Agreement. 

  

	3.	Payment upon Termination for Measurable Dissatisfaction. 

 a) If either DBCS or AIM terminates this Agreement due to Measurable Dissatisfaction, then DBCS will pay AIM any money owed under Paragraph 1 to this Exhibit B but will not pay AIM any Break-Up Fee (as defined below). 
  

	4.	Payment upon Termination for Reasons other than Measurable Dissatisfaction. 

 Either DBCS or AIM may terminate this Agreement for any reason other than Measurable Dissatisfaction upon ninety (90) days, written notice to the other party. 
 a) If DBCS terminates this Agreement for any reason other than Measurable Dissatisfaction, then such termination shall be subject to a Break-Up Fee paid
by DBCS to AIM if AIM has met the Minimum Target AUMs specified in the table below (as measured by aggregating all AUMs for the funds listed on Exhibit A) on or before the dates specified in the table below.
