right, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Screen Owner, to terminate
this Agreement unless within such thirty (30) day period, Screen Owner completes
the installation of the Screen.

     

    1.4           Screen
Owner shall be solely responsible for maintenance of the Screen and Building

adjustments.

necessary to allow for the installation, operation and maintenance of the Screen
on the Building at Screen Owner’s sole and exclusive cost and expense, unless
the Building Owner already has the necessary Permits, in which case Screen Owner
will reimburse Building Owner for the cost and expense of maintaining only those

Plan").

     

    (b)           Each
Proposed Work Plan shall be subject to Building Owner’s written approval, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed.  The Proposed Work Plan, once approved by the Building Owner,
shall be known as the “Approved Work Plan”.  Minor modifications to an
Approved Work Plan shall require only Building Owner’s approval stamp or
initials indicating acceptance of the changes marked on the Approved Work
Plan.

     

    (c)           Screen
Owner shall ensure that no mechanics or other liens are filed against the

other work in the Building, all contractors and subcontractors shall be subject
to Building Owner’s prior approval and such contractors and subcontractors shall
not unreasonably disrupt or interfere with the use and operation of the Building
by Building Owner, its tenants, and its and their employees and
invitees.

     

    2.4           Building

any repair or replacement required to any finishes in OMM’s premises as a result
of Screen Owner’s entry therein.

    Ownership of Screen and
Rights of Screen Owner to Building

    

    3.1           Building
Owner specifically agrees to and recognizes: (a) the validity of, and the sole
right, title and interest of Screen Owner in, and as the sole owner of, the
Screen; and (b) that Screen Owner, in such capacity, controls the exclusive
right to use of the Screen, subject to the terms of this
Agreement.  Subject to the provisions of Section 9.2 hereof, Building
Owner specifically waives and disclaims any right, title, interest or ownership
in the Screen other than the license created herein.  Building Owner
shall not at any time claim that this Agreement or any matters undertaken
pursuant hereto has created for Building Owner any right, title, goodwill or
interest in the Screen.  Building Owner promises not to contest
ownership or rights of Screen Owner to the Screen under any circumstances unless
the Screen is not removed by Screen Owner within ninety (90) days following the
expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

     

    3.2           Building
Owner shall at all times indicate that the Screen is owned by Screen Owner and
is used with Screen Owner’s permission and at Screen Owner’s direction and
control. Building Owner will comply with any reasonable requests and
restrictions that Screen Owner may make with respect to notices of ownership, in
any applicable language, concerning the Screen.  Screen Owner agrees
to display advertising of Building Owner’s property management business on the
Screen when such display will not conflict with, reduce or otherwise negatively
impact any revenue generating Advertising which Screen Owner may desire to
display on the Screen. Screen Owner may also use the Screen, when such display
will not conflict with, reduce or otherwise negatively impact any revenue
generating Advertising, for purposes of promoting SkyNetTM and its versatility
and for any other related marketing activity related to sale or use of the
Screen, including any kind of reasonable branding of the Screen with Screen
Owner’s name and/or interest in the Screen as Screen Owner may desire from time
to time during any use of or reference to the Screen, and further including,
without limitation, a “Powered by ADTI Media” logo (or such other logo as Screen
Owner may reasonably select from time to time) in a regularly recurring corner
shadow on the content displayed on the Screen or as a discrete intermittent
message or both.

    Building Owner’s Other
Obligations

     

    4.1           From
time to time, and provided there is then no Advertising on the Screen, Building
Owner may request that Screen Owner post messages or content on the Screen
pertaining directly to Building Owner or Boston Properties, Inc.

     

    4.2           (a)           Prior
to the installation of the Screen on the Building by Screen Owner, Screen Owner
shall file a “Fixture filing,” as such term is defined under N.Y. Uniform
Commercial Code Law § 9-102(a)(40) (2010), and any other filing(s) as may be
necessary under New York’s uniform commercial code or real property law, to
ensure that Screen Owner’s security interest in the Screen continues and has
priority over a conflicting interest of an encumbrancer or owner or the Building
or the real property upon which the Building exists, subject to Screen Owner’s
removal obligations hereunder.  Building Owner acknowledges Screen
Owner’s continuing unrestricted ownership, control and right to remove the
Screen.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (b)           When
this Agreement has been terminated, Screen Owner hereby authorizes Building
Owner to file on behalf of Screen Owner any UCC termination statements, releases
of fixture filings, lien releases, discharges of security interests, and other
similar discharge or release documents, and, if applicable, in recordable form,
and, upon request of Building Owner, Screen Owner shall sign and deliver any
such UCC termination statements, releases of fixture filings, lien releases,
discharges of security interests, and other similar discharge or release
documents as are reasonably necessary to release, as of record, all of Screen
Owner’s notices of security interests and liens previously filed by Screen Owner
with respect to this Agreement, and any such UCC termination statements,
releases of fixture filings, lien releases, discharges of security interests,
and other similar discharge or release documents filed by Building Owner,
whether or not signed by Screen Owner shall be deemed authorized by Screen Owner
under section 9-509(d) of the UCC and under otherwise applicable
law.

    Duties of Parties with
Respect to Advertising

     

    5.1           During
the Term of this Agreement, Screen Owner shall diligently contact entities
involved in the sale of Advertising in the out of home advertising market for
the possible placement of Advertising on the Screen during the Term
hereof.  Screen Owner, in order to fulfill its obligations under this
Section 5.1, will use its best efforts to engage such a third-party
advertiser(s) (the “Advertiser”) for the purposes
set forth in the preceding sentence.  If an Advertiser is engaged by
Screen Owner, Screen Owner and Building Owner will share in Screen Owner’s share
of Eligible Revenue (as defined below) that Screen Owner actually receives under
any agreement between any such Advertiser and Screen Owner as described
below.  The terms of any such agreement between any Advertiser and
Screen Owner will be as set forth in a mutually acceptable agreement executed
between Screen Owner and Advertiser (and approved by Building Owner) and nothing
contained in this Agreement shall require Screen Owner to accede to any demand
or to enter into any such agreement except as it may deem appropriate in the
reasonable exercise of its discretion.  Screen Owner shall not, to the
detriment of Building Owner or the Building, enter into agreements for
advertising on screens located at other buildings and Screen Owner shall use
best efforts to ensure that the Screen is continuously
“active”  (i.e.  the Screen shall contain Advertising or
other content 24 hours a day, 7 days a week).  If Building Owner
enters into any agreement with any Advertiser for the placement of Advertising
on the Screen, then any revenues actually received by Building Owner pursuant to
any such agreement shall constitute Eligible Revenue hereunder and be subject to
the terms of Article 6 below.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    5.2           The
Advertising on the Screen shall not contain content which: (a) infringes on
proprietary rights of others; (b) is obscene or pornographic; (c) is defamatory,
libelous, or slanderous; (d) advocates any politically partisan, religious or
other publicly controversial, non-commercial viewpoint or agenda; (e) advertises
tobacco products or businesses or which relates to sexually-oriented products or
businesses; (f) advertises Kohl’s or J.C. Penny; or (g) advertises alcohol
products or businesses where such advertisement is not otherwise in compliance
with the standards set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto.  Building
Owner may reasonably request that Screen Owner remove selected content that is
of particular offense to Building Owner or a tenant within the Building or to
Target (or any other advertiser that advertises on Target’s sign locations) and
Screen Owner shall promptly remove such content.  Screen Owner shall
not advertise persons or entities primarily engaged in the business of owning
and/or managing office properties, whether directly, indirectly or through
affiliates, anywhere in the world and/or any advertising for any entity that
directly promotes the sale, acquisition or leasing of commercial real
estate.  In addition to the foregoing, Screen Owner shall not display
any advertisements at the Building for a direct competitor of a “Major Tenant”
of the Building, unless and until Screen Owner obtains the written consent of
the Building Owner, which may be withheld in Building Owner’s sole
discretion.  Upon Building Owner’s issuance of the written consent to
Screen Owner under this Section 5.2, Screen Owner shall not be liable for any
claims, losses or damage, whether direct, indirect or consequential, asserted
against or sustained by Building Owner, its employees, officers, directors,
agents or contractors arising from or relating to any issuance of such written
consent.  “Major Tenant” means any tenant of the Building leasing one
full floor or more.

however arising, and which is sold by Screen Owner, Building Owner or Advertiser
(the “Advertising”) is
covered by this Agreement (“Revenue”).  The term
“Eligible Revenue” as used herein shall mean all Revenue actually received
during the Term hereof or thereafter, to the extent such Revenue is attributable
to any Advertising placed or displayed upon the Screen during the Term hereof,

Screen Owner shall receive the next $100,000.00 of Eligible Revenue during the
Initial Term; and

     (b)
On an annual basis commencing on the first day after the Initial
Term:

     

    (1)  The
first $60,000 of Eligible Revenue shall be paid to the Building Owner, at the
rate of $5,000.00 per month (any unpaid amounts to Building Owner shall accrue
and earn simple interest at the rate of 8% per annum);

     

    (2)
Screen Owner shall receive the next $200,000.00 of Eligible Revenue;
and

     

    (3)
Thereafter all additional Eligible Revenue on an annual basis shall be shared

    For
purposes of this Section 6.2, the term “Initial Term” shall mean the period of
time between the execution date of this Agreement and June 30, 2011, and the
term “annual basis” shall mean each of the following 12 month periods: (a) the
12 month period between the July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012, inclusive; (b) the
12 month period between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013, inclusive; (c) the 12
month period between July 1, 2013, and June 30, 2014, inclusive; and (d) each 12
month period thereafter during any continuation of this Agreement beyond June
30, 2014.  Any Eligible Revenue that is to be paid to the Building
Owner hereunder during the Initial Term shall be prorated on a daily basis for
any partial month during such Initial Term.

     

    6.3          (a)           All
Eligible Revenue which is to be paid hereunder shall be paid by the initial
recipient thereof to the other Party within 30 days of its receipt thereof by
such initial recipient.

     

    (b)           Either
Party shall be entitled, upon prior notice to the other Party, to direct the
withholding from distribution such funds as it determines appropriate as
determined in the reasonable exercise of its discretion for set asides for
possible claims or disputes arising with any Advertiser or third
party.

     

    6.4           Each
Party shall bear responsibility for all taxes and withholdings applicable to its
portion of Eligible Revenue.

     

    6.5           Screen
Owner shall maintain such customary controls over accounting and financial
transactions relating to the Advertising as is necessary to minimize the risk of
error, omission, or theft or fraudulent activity by employees of Screen
Owner.  Screen Owner shall prepare and deliver to Building Owner
monthly sales information as reasonably requested by Building
Owner.  Building Owner may perform any audit or investigation relating
to the Screen and Screen Owner shall deliver to Building Owner all relevant
documentation and support relating to such audit or investigation.  If
Building Owner’s appointees discover deficiencies in internal controls or errors
in bookkeeping, Screen Owner shall correct the same within the shortest possible
time and shall inform Building Owner in writing of the action taken to effect
such correction.

     

    6.6           In
the event Screen Owner enters into a single agreement for the placement of
Advertising on screens at multiple locations (i.e. - for locations in addition
to the Building), Screen Owner agrees that any revenues generated from such
Advertising shall be equitably allocated to the Screen.

Exhibit B attached hereto (or such other parties as are in privity of estate
with Building Owner as may from time to time be designated in a written notice
by Building Owner to Screen Owner) as additional insureds to Screen Owner’s
Commercial General Liability (including the coverage required under Section
7.4(b)(iv) above) and excess liability coverage policies, (ii) require each
insurer to endeavor to give at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to
Building Owner of any policy cancellation, and (iii) ensure that each insurance
company has an A.M. Best Rating of A/X or better and each is permitted under
applicable law to provide such insurance in the state of New
York.  Screen Owner shall provide certificates of insurance to
Building Owner, at Building Owner’s request, evidencing the foregoing for each
policy year during the term of this Agreement.

     

    (d)           During
the performance of any work or alterations, including but not limited to, the
installation and removal of the Screen, Screen Owner and its contractors and
sub-contractors shall maintain, at its and their sole cost and expense, such
other insurance as Building Owner may reasonably require based upon adverse,
material unexpected developments encountered during the installation or
alteration process which exposes Building Owner to substantial additional risks
that were not known, and which could not have been known after diligent inquiry,
by Building Owner.

     

    (e)           Building
Owner and Screen Owner waive (and shall cause their respective insurance
carriers to waive) any and all rights of recovery and claims against the other
for any loss or damage that may occur to Building Owner or Screen Owner or any
party claiming by, through or under Building Owner or Screen Owner, as the case
may be, with respect to the Building or the Screen, any addition or improvements
thereto, or any contents therein, by reason of fire, the elements or any other
cause or casualty, regardless of cause or origin, including the negligence of
Building Owner or Screen Owner, to the extent such loss or damage is covered by,
and proceeds received under, any policies of insurance maintained by the waiving
party (or which would have been covered had the waiving party maintained the
insurance required to be maintained by it pursuant to this
Agreement).

     

    7.5           In
the event of a major casualty to the Building or if the Screen is damaged as a
result of a casualty, either Party shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement upon ten (10) days notice to the other Party.

     

    7.6           THE
LIABILITY OF BUILDING OWNER FOR BUILDING OWNER’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO BUILDING OWNER’S INTEREST FROM TIME TO TIME IN THE
BUILDING AND SCREEN OWNER AND ANY PERSON OR ENTITY CLAIMING BY OR THROUGH SCREEN

PROPERTY OR ASSETS OF ANY PERSON OR ENTITY OTHER THAN BUILDING OWNER IN SEEKING
EITHER TO ENFORCE BUILDING OWNER’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR TO
SATISFY A JUDGMENT FOR BUILDING OWNER’S FAILURE TO PERFORM SUCH OBLIGATIONS; AND
NO OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF BUILDING
OWNER’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

Party concerning the obligations to be performed under this Agreement, and the
terms applicable thereto.

     

    (b)           This
Agreement may not be supplemented, amended or modified, except in writing by a
duly authorized representative all of the Parties.

     

    (c)           The
failure of any Party to insist, in any one or more instances upon the
performance of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not be

any portion of its respective rights or delegate any portion of its respective

Building (including by foreclosure or transfer in lieu thereof), the transferee
of the Building delivers to Screen Owner a written instrument unconditionally
assuming and agreeing to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement applicable to Building Owner at the time of the assignment or other
transfer, then Building Owner shall be released from any and all liability
thereafter accruing and provided, further that at any time after the first year
of the Term of this Agreement, Building Owner shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement in connection with such sale, lease or other disposition of the
Building.

RELEASES SCREEN OWNER FOR ANY LIABILITY RELATED THERETO.

     

    14.3         The
Parties acknowledge that both Screen Owner and Building Owner have an interest
in ensuring that, while the Screen is installed at the Building, it always
operates and performs in a manner that positively enhances the value and
reputation of Screen Owner’s business of manufacturing and selling similar
screens and the value of the Building.  Accordingly, if at any time,
(i) in Screen Owner’s judgment and in its absolute discretion, the
operation, performance or use of the Screen on the Building is not
positively enhancing Screen Owner’s business, then Screen Owner may forthwith
terminate this Agreement and (ii) in Building Owner’s judgment and in its
absolute discretion, the operation, performance or use of the Screen is
adversely affecting the value or operations of the Building, then Building Owner
may forthwith terminate this Agreement.

and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts beyond
the affected Party’s reasonable control, including, without limitation: (a) acts
of God; (b) flood, fire, explosion, war, invasion, riot or other civil unrest;
(c) actions, embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this

governmental order, rule, regulation or direction, or any action taken by a
governmental or public authority; (f) shortage of adequate power or
telecommunications or transportation facilities; or (g) any other event which is
beyond the reasonable control of such Party.  Each of the foregoing a
“Force Majeure Event.”  The Party suffering a Force Majeure Event
shall give notice to the other Party, stating the period of time the occurrence
is expected to continue and shall use diligent efforts to end the failure or
delay and ensure the effects of such Force Majeure Event are minimized;
provided, however, that Screen Owner has the right to terminate this Agreement
if the Force Majeure Event continues for thirty (30) days or more by providing
written notice thereof to Building Owner, whereupon this Agreement shall
forthwith terminate.  During the Force Majeure Event, the non-affected
Party may similarly suspend its performance obligations until such time as the
affected Party resumes performance.

    LICENSING
AGREEMENT

     

    This
Licensing Agreement (“Agreement”)
is made and entered into as of the 11th day of
December, 2009 (“Effective
Date”), by and among SummerHaven Investment Management, LLC (“SHIM”), a
Delaware limited liability company with its principal place of business at 1266
East Main Street, Soundview Plaza, Fourth Floor, Stamford, CT 06902, and United
States Commodity Funds LLC (“USCF”), a
Delaware limited liability company with its principal place of business at 1320
Harbor Bay Parkway, Suite 145, Alameda, California 94502.

    

    WHEREAS,  USCF has
under an Advisory Agreement with SHIM dated December 11, 2009 (the “Advisory
Agreement”) retained SHIM to provide certain advisory services in
connection with the operation of TBD (the “Fund”)
that will be registered as a Delaware series trust and offer its units to the
public, which units will be traded on a national securities exchange;
and

     

    WHEREAS, SHIM is willing to
provide such advisory services under the terms of the Advisory Agreement;
and

     

    WHEREAS, USCF desires to
sublicense the use of certain names and marks (“Service
Marks”), including that of a commodity index that is owned, calculated,
maintained and published by SummerHaven Index Management, LLC (“SHIX”) and
licensed to SHIM (the “Index”),
as set forth in Exhibit A (as such Exhibit may be amended from time to time to
incorporate new or additional Service Marks or Indices), and the use of the
Index, in each case in connection with the Fund, the units of which will be
traded on a national securities exchange (the date on which the Fund commences
trading, the “Launch
Date”); and

     

    WHEREAS, SHIM is willing to
sublicense the use of the Index and Service Marks under the terms of this
Agreement.

     

    NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing, and in reliance upon the mutual promises
contained in this Agreement, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree
as follows:

     

    
      	
              1.

            	
              SUBLICENSE

            

    

     

    (a)  Subject
to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, SHIM hereby grants to USCF and the
Fund a non-transferable, non-exclusive sublicense, (i) to use the Index as the
basis, or a component, of the Fund, and (ii) subject to Section 1(d), to use and
refer to the Index and the Service Marks and to reproduce, modify and create
derivative works from any information provided to USCF by SHIM, in each case in
connection with the marketing, promotion and sale of the Fund and its shares and
in connection with making such disclosure about the Fund as USCF deems necessary
or desirable under any applicable laws, rules or regulations in order to
indicate the source of the Index (“License”).  SHIM
reserves all rights with respect to the Index and the Service Marks except those
expressly licensed to USCF hereunder, however, SHIM shall not grant any license
or sublicense permitting the use of the Service Marks or Index for an
exchange-traded fund on any U.S. or foreign securities exchange by any party
other than USCF or the Fund for as long as this Agreement remains in effect and
for three (3) months following the termination of this Agreement if a
termination has occurred by SHIM under Section 3(a) or Section 3(e)(ii) hereto
or by USCF under Section 3(b) hereto.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (b)  Right of First
Offer.  The parties agree as follows: (i) SHIM agrees that in
the event SHIX develops a commodity index, other than the Index, comprised of at
least five commodities (“Other
Index”), SHIM shall offer to sublicense such Other Index and provide
Services to USCF on substantially similar terms as set forth herein and in the
Advisory Agreement taken together, prior to agreeing to license such Other Index
to any other person for the purpose of creating an exchange-traded fund on any
U.S. or foreign securities exchange, and (ii) USCF shall not create and/or
market a fund which trades or benchmarks an Other Index created by a third party
as its investment strategy (in whole or in part) without first offering SHIM (as
a licensee of SHIX) the ability to create a similar Other Index and license it
and provide Services to USCF on substantially similar terms as set forth herein
and in the Advisory Agreement taken together.

     

    (c)  USCF
acknowledges that as between USCF and SHIX the Index and the Service Marks are
the exclusive property of SHIX, and that the Index and its compilation and
composition and change therein is in the control and discretion of
SHIX.  USCF agrees and acknowledges that no rights to use the Index
and the Service Marks are granted hereunder other than those specifically
described and expressly granted herein.  SHIM warrants and represents
that USCF does not need to obtain a license from any person (other than the
License provided herein) with respect to the use of the Index or the exercise of
rights under the License.

     

    (d)  USCF
shall submit to SHIM, for SHIM’s review and approval, all informational
materials to be used in connection with the marketing, promotion, offer or sale
of the Fund that in any way use or refer to the Index or any of the Service
Marks.  SHIM’s approval shall be required with respect to the use of
and description of the Index or any of the Service Marks in all such
informational materials; provided that such approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.  SHIM shall notify USCF of its approval or
disapproval of any informational materials submitted for SHIM’s approval within
five (5) business days following receipt thereof from USCF.  Once
informational materials have been approved by SHIM, subsequent informational
materials which do not materially alter the use or description of the Index or
the Service Marks, as the case may be, need not be submitted for review and
approval.

     

    
      	
              2. 

            	
              FEES

            

    

     

    For the
sublicense provided hereunder, USCF and/or the Fund will pay SHIM a sublicense
fee as set forth in the fee schedule attached as Exhibit B to this
Agreement.

     

    
      	
              3. 

            	
              TERM
      AND TERMINATION

            

    

     

    (a)  This
Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and remain in effect for a period
of two (2) years from the Launch Date (“Initial
Term”), unless earlier terminated by either USCF or SHIM in accordance
with this Article 3.  After the Initial Term, this Agreement shall
continue for successive one-year periods unless terminated by either such party
as of the end of an annual period by providing at least ninety (90) days written
notice of such termination  prior to the end of the annual period or
otherwise terminates in accordance with this Article 3.  Upon
termination of this Agreement, USCF shall cease to use the Index and the Service
Marks.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (b)  If
a party (the “Breaching
Party”) is in material breach of any terms of this Agreement, either USCF
or SHIM, as the case may be, may so notify the Breaching Party in writing,
specifying the nature of the breach in reasonable detail.  The
Breaching Party shall have thirty (30) calendar days from delivery of that
notice to correct the breach; provided that if the breach is not cured within
the identified time period, the other party may terminate this Agreement at any
time after the thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Breaching Party with
another thirty (30) days’ written notice.  Either USCF or SHIM may
terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to such other
party if SHIM or USCF, as the case may be, is dissolved or its existence is
terminated; becomes insolvent or bankrupt or admits in writing its inability to
pay its debts as they mature, or makes an assignment for the benefit of
creditors; makes a voluntary assignment or transfer of all or substantially all
of its property; has a custodian, trustee, or receiver appointed for it, or for
all or substantially all of its property; has bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangements, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings for
relief under any bankruptcy or similar law for the relief of debtors, instituted
by or against it, and, if instituted against it, any of the foregoing is allowed
or consented to by the other party or is not dismissed within
sixty (60) days after such institution.

     

    (c)  SHIM shall have the
right, in its discretion, to cease calculation and publication of the Index and,
in the event that the Index is discontinued, to terminate this Agreement as to
the Fund using the Index if SHIM does not intend to calculate and publish a
replacement or substitute Index.  SHIM shall give USCF at least ninety
(90) days’ written notice prior to such
discontinuance, which notice shall specify whether a replacement or substitute
index will be available.  USCF shall have the option hereunder to use
the replacement Index under the terms of this Agreement by notifying SHIM within
sixty (60) days of receiving written notice from SHIM regarding the replacement
Index, on the same terms and conditions (including payment of fees as set forth
in Article 2) as USCF or the Fund previously used the discontinued
Index.

     

    (d)  USCF
may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to SHIM if (i) USCF is informed
of the final adoption of any legislation or regulation that materially impairs
USCF’s ability to market, promote, or issue, redeem or list on an exchange,
shares of the Fund, (ii) any material litigation or regulatory proceeding
regarding the Fund is commenced which requires that the Fund cease existence,
and no successor Fund is commenced with similar investment objectives, (iii)
USCF elects to terminate the public offering or other distribution of the Fund,
(iv) both K. Geert Rouwenhorst and Gary B. Gorton cease to serve as a partner or
senior advisor to SHIM, or (v) there is a Change of Control of SHIM. “Change of Control
of SHIM” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the sale,
lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition, in one or a series of related
transactions, of all or substantially all the assets of SHIM, or (2) the sale,
lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition by the members of SHIM (as of
the Effective Date) of more than 50% of the outstanding equity of
SHIM.

     

    (e)  SHIM
may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to USCF if (i) SHIM is informed
of the final adoption of any legislation or regulation that materially impairs
SHIM’s ability to license or provide the Index under this Agreement, (ii) the
Advisory Agreement is terminated by SHIM pursuant to section 3(d)(ii) thereof,
(iii) any material litigation or regulatory proceeding regarding the Fund is
commenced, or (iv) there is any Change of Control of USCF.  “Change of Control
of USCF” means the occurrence of any of the following: (i) the sale,
lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition, in one or a series of related
transactions, of all or substantially all the assets of USCF, or (2) the sale,
lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition by the members of USCF (as of
the Effective Date) of more than 50% of the outstanding equity of
USCF.

    (f)  No
fees under Article 2 of this Agreement will be payable to SHIM by USCF after
termination of this Agreement as set forth in this Article 3 except any
outstanding fees.  The fee for the month in which this Agreement is
terminated will be pro rated based on the number of days in the month during
which the Agreement was in effect.

     

    
      	
              4. 

            	
              INDEMNIFICATION

            

    

     

    (a) USCF shall indemnify,
defend and hold SHIM and its affiliates, members, directors, officers,
shareholders, employees, representatives, agents, attorneys, successors and
assigns (collectively, the “SHIM Indemnified
Parties”)
harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, obligations,
judgments, causes of action, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’
fees) (collectively, “Losses”)
arising out of any material breach of this Agreement by USCF or any disclosure
in the Registration Statement of the Fund (except disclosure about SHIM or the
Index that has been specifically approved by SHIM), and out of USCF’s use of the
Index or the Service Marks (including, without limitation, in connection with
the marketing, promotion and sale of the Fund and its units) other than a case
in which SHIM is obligated to indemnify USCF under Article 4(b) and except to
the extent Losses are the result of any grossly negligent act or omission of a
SHIM Indemnified Party.

     

    (b) SHIM shall indemnify,
defend and hold USCF and its affiliates, members, directors, officers,
shareholders, employees, representatives, agents, attorneys, successors and
assigns (collectively, the “USCF Indemnified
Parties”)
harmless from and against any and all Losses arising out of (i) any material
breach of this Agreement by SHIM, (ii) any disclosure in the Registration
Statement of the Fund about SHIM or the Index that has been specifically
approved by SHIM, (iii) any claim that SHIM does not possess all rights
necessary to grant the License granted by this Agreement, (iv) any claim of
infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation of the intellectual
property or license rights of third parties arising from the use of the Index or
the Service Marks as licensed to USCF under this Agreement, except to the extent
Losses are the result of any negligent act or omission of an USCF Indemnified
Party or (v) the gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of SHIM in
providing Services under this Agreement.

     

    (c)
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, in no event shall either USCF or
SHIM be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages,
even if the party or an authorized representative thereof has been advised of
the possibility of such damages.  The federal securities laws impose
liabilities under certain circumstances on persons who act in good faith; thus,
nothing in this Agreement shall in any way constitute a waiver or limitation on
any rights which a party may have under the federal securities
laws.

     

    (d)
Promptly after receipt by any Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of
any action, the Indemnified Party shall, if indemnification is to be sought
against the other party (the “Indemnifying
Party”) under this Article 4, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of
the commencement thereof, but the omission to notify the Indemnifying Party
shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability hereunder only to the extent
that such omission results in the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Party of rights
or defenses with respect to such action.  In any action or proceeding,
following provision of proper notice by the Indemnified Party of the existence
of such action, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any
such action and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel of its choice, and
after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the
Indemnified Party’s election to assume the defense of the action, the
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party hereunder for
any attorneys’ fees subsequently incurred by the Indemnified
Party.  The Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense of
settlement of claims so assumed.  The Indemnifying Party shall not be
liable hereunder for the settlement by the Indemnified Party for any claim or
demand unless it has previously approved the settlement or it has been notified
of such claim or demand and has failed to provide a defense in accordance with
the provisions hereof.  Without limiting the foregoing, in no event
may either party make any admission of liability by or on behalf of the other
party without such other party’s express prior written consent.

                REPRESENTATIONS
      AND WARRANTIES

              

      

    

     

    (a)  Each party represents
and warrants that it has full power and authority to enter into and perform its
obligations under this Agreement.

     

    (b)  SHIM
represents and warrants that it has the right to grant sublicenses under the
Index and the Service Marks and that to its knowledge use of the Index and
Service Marks by USCF as provided herein shall not infringe any trade name,
trademark, trade dress, copyright, other proprietary right, or contractual right
of any person not a party to this Agreement.  EXCEPT FOR THE
WARRANTIES SET FORTH HEREIN, SHIM MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
CONCERNING THE INDEX OR THE SERVICE MARKS, AND MAKES NO WARRANTY AS TO THEIR
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  IN PARTICULAR,
AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, SHIM DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE QUALITY,
ACCURACY, AND/OR COMPLETENESS OF THE INDEX OR THE SERVICE MARKS.

     

    (c)  USCF
represents and warrants that: (i) both USCF and the Fund shall not commit any
material violations of any applicable law or regulation, including but not
limited to banking, commodities and securities laws, and (ii) it will use its
best efforts to obtain exemptions from position limits with respect to the Index
and the Fund.

     

    (d)  SHIM
represents and warrants that both SHIM and SHIX shall not commit any material
violations of any applicable law or regulation, including but not limited to
banking, commodities and securities laws.

     

    (e) USCF agrees to include
the following disclosure or the substance thereof in the Fund’s
prospectus:

     

    The Index
is the exclusive property of an affiliate of SHIM, which has licensed the use of
certain trademarks, service marks and trade names and the Index to SHIM, which
has in turn sublicensed certain trademarks, service marks and trade names and
the Index for use by USCF.  SHIM is solely responsible for determining
the securities included in, and the calculation of, the
Index.  Neither SHIM nor its affiliates make any representations
regarding the appropriateness of the Fund’s investments for the purpose of
tracking the performance of the Index or otherwise.

              6. 

            	
              CONFIDENTIAL
      INFORMATION

            

    

     

    (a) By virtue of this
Agreement, either USCF or SHIM may have access to information that is
confidential to the other party including, without limitation, all business,
technical, financial, customer and/or any other proprietary information of a
party, products, processes, tools, services, technical knowledge and any other
information and/or materials clearly marked as confidential or information
identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or summarized as
confidential in a written memorandum delivered to the recipient within thirty
(30) calendar days of disclosure, including, without limitation, all information
concerning the Index, whether or not so marked (collectively, “Confidential
Information”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party’s
Confidential Information shall not include information which: (i) is or becomes
a part of the public domain through no act or omission of the other party; (ii)
was in the other party’s lawful possession prior to the disclosure and had not
been obtained by the other party either directly or indirectly from the
disclosing party; (iii) is lawfully disclosed to the other party by a third
party without restriction on disclosure; or (iv) is independently developed by
the other party without reference to any Confidential Information.  In
addition, the obligations of this Article 6 do not apply to confidential
information that is required to be disclosed pursuant to a duly authorized
subpoena, court order, or government authority, provided that to the extent
permitted by law the party subject to same shall provide immediate written
notice to the other party upon receipt of subpoena, order, or other disclosure
requirement prior to such disclosure and allow such other party the opportunity
to intervene in the action in order to attempt to enjoin such subpoena, order,
or other disclosure requirement.  Such Confidential Information shall
remain confidential for all other purposes.

     

    (b) USCF and SHIM agree to
secure and protect the Confidential Information of each other in a manner
consistent with the maintenance of the other party’s rights therein, using at
least as great a degree of care as each party uses to maintain the
confidentiality of its own confidential information of a similar nature, but in
no event using less than its reasonable efforts.  Neither USCF nor
SHIM shall sell, transfer, publish, disclose, or otherwise make available any
portion of the Confidential Information of the other party to third parties,
except as necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement or as
expressly authorized in this Agreement.  Each party represents that it
has, and agrees to maintain, an appropriate agreement with each third party who
may have access to Confidential Information sufficient to enable such party to
comply with all of the terms of this Agreement.

     

    (c)  USCF
and SHIM agree that the unauthorized use by any party of the other party’s
Confidential Information will diminish the value of such Confidential
Information and will cause substantial and irreparable damage to the party whose
Confidential Information was improperly disclosed, and that the remedies
generally available at law may be inadequate.  Accordingly, USCF and
SHIM agree that a breach of this Article 6 shall entitle SHIM (in the case of a
breach by USCF) or USCF (in the case of a breach by SHIM) to seek equitable
relief to protect its interest herein, including injunctive relief, as well as
money damages.  The parties agree that the obligations under this
Article shall survive the termination or expiration of this
Agreement.

    (d)  Each
party shall be free to use for itself and for others in any manner the general
knowledge, skill or experience acquired by it in connection with this
Agreement.

     

    
      	
              7. 

            	
              GENERAL

            

    

     

    (a)  Binding Arbitration.  Any controversy or
claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement for the breach hereof which
cannot be settled by the parties and does not request or require injunctive
relief, shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the
commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in
New York, NY, except to the extent inconsistent with the rules set forth
herein.  The parties shall endeavor to appoint a single arbitrator,
and failing that, USCF and SHIM may each select one arbitrator with knowledge of
the types of Services provided for under this Agreement.  Selection
shall be completed within twenty (20) days of the receipt of a demand for
arbitration.  If either party fails to select an arbitrator within
such twenty (20) day period, the one selected shall act as sole
arbitrator.  If two arbitrators have been selected, the two
arbitrators selected shall select a third within fifteen (15) days after their
selection.  If they fail to do so, the third arbitrator shall be
selected by the AAA.  The award of any arbitration shall be final,
conclusive and binding on the parties hereto.  The arbitrators may
award any legal or equitable remedy.  The arbitration award may
include an award of attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party.  Judgment
upon any arbitration award may be entered and enforced in any court of competent
jurisdiction.

     

    (b)  Captions Not
Determinative.  Titles and paragraph
headings herein are for convenient reference only and are not part of this
Agreement.

     

    (c)  Independent Contractors.  USCF and SHIM are
independent contractors to one another.  Nothing in this Agreement
shall be construed to create a partnership, joint venture or agency relationship
between USCF, on the one hand, and SHIM, on the other hand.

     

    (d)  Force Majeure.  No party shall be in
default or otherwise liable for any delay in or failure of its performance under
this Agreement where such delay or failure arises by reason of any act of God,
or any government or any governmental body, any act of war or terrorism, the
elements, strikes or labor disputes, or other similar or dissimilar cause beyond
the control of such party.

     

    (e)  Notice.  All notices, including
notices of address changes, required to be sent hereunder shall be in writing

    Fee
Schedule

     

    USCF
and/or the Fund will pay to SHIM (a) an annual fee of $30,000 for the calendar
year 2010, and $15,000 annually thereafter, in each case payable within 10 days
of the beginning of each calendar year, and (b) an annual sublicense fee of
0.06% (6 basis points) of the average daily assets of the Fund, which shall be
paid on a monthly basis (within 5 business days of the end of each calendar
month) as follows:

     

    The
sublicense fee for each month will be calculated as the sum of daily calculated
sublicense fees according to the following formula:

     

    Daily
Sublicense Fee = (Total Assets of the Fund x 0.06%) divided by 365.

     

    On days
that the units of the Fund are not traded, the Total Assets for the respective
sublicense fees will be those determined on the previous day on which the Fund’s
units were traded.
