FIXED INCOME FUNDS

PowerShares Actively Managed Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

This Participant Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into between A I M Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), [•] (the “Participant”), and The Bank of New York (the “Transfer Agent”), and is subject to acceptance by PowerShares Actively Managed Exchange-Traded Fund Trust (the “Trust”). The Transfer Agent serves as the Transfer Agent of the Trust and is an Index Receipt Agent as that term is defined in the rules of the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”). The Distributor, the Transfer Agent and the Participant acknowledge and agree that the Trust shall be a third-party beneficiary of the Agreement and shall receive the benefits contemplated by the Agreement to the extent specified herein. The Distributor has been retained to provide certain services with respect to acting as principal underwriter of the Trust in connection with the creation and distribution of shares of beneficial interest, par value 0.01 per share (“Shares” or “Trust Shares”), of the Series of the Trust (each a “Fund”). As specified in the Trust’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information incorporated therein (together, the “Prospectus”) included as part of its Registration Statement as amended on Form N-1A, Trust Shares may be created or redeemed only in aggregations of 50,000 shares, as identified in the Prospectus for each Fund, referred to therein and herein as a “Creation Unit”. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are used herein as defined in the Trust’s Prospectus.

This Agreement is intended to set forth certain premises and the procedures by which the Participant may create and/or redeem Creation Units through the Federal Reserve/Treasury Automated Debt Entry System maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “Fed Book Entry System”) and the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). The parties hereto in consideration of the premises and of the mutual agreements contained herein agree as follows:

1. STATUS OF PARTICIPANT. The Participant hereby represents, covenants and warrants that with respect to orders for the creation or redemption of Creation Units by means of the Fed Book Entry System and DTC, it is eligible to utilize the Fed Book Entry System and DTC, and is a Participant in DTC (as defined in the Trust’s Prospectus, a “DTC Participant”). The Participant may place orders for the creation or redemption of Creation Units through the Fed Book-Entry System and/or DTC or Euroclear, subject to the procedures for creation and redemption referred to in Section 2 of this Agreement (“Execution of Orders”) and the procedures described in Attachment A hereto. Any change in the foregoing status of the Participant shall terminate this Agreement, and the Participant shall give prompt notice to the Distributor and the Transfer Agent of such change. Transfers of securities settling through Euroclear or other foreign depositories may require Participant access to such facilities.

The Participant further represents that it is a broker dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) or is exempt from or otherwise not required to be licensed as a broker-dealer or a member of FINRA. The Participant is qualified as a broker or dealer, or otherwise, under all applicable state laws in which the Participant conducts its activities as defined hereunder and where it is required to do so in order that Trust Shares may be sold in such states where the Participant intends to sell Trust Shares. The Participant is a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). [add this to global equity as well] The Participant agrees to conform to the rules of FINRA (if it is a member of FINRA) and the securities laws of any jurisdiction in which it sells, directly or indirectly, Trust Shares, to the extent such laws, rules and regulations relate to the Participant’s transactions in, and activities with respect to the Trust Shares.

2. EXECUTION OF ORDERS. All orders for the creation or redemption of Creation Units shall be handled in accordance with the terms of the Trust’s Prospectus, and, where applicable, the procedures described in Attachment A to this Agreement. In addition, to the extent Creation Units of a Fund subject to this Agreement will be sold to the Participant and redeemed by the Participant in cash only, the provisions of this Agreement as they relate to in-kind creations and redemptions (e.g., relating to “Deposit Securities”) will not apply, and, in such circumstances, the procedures for placing and processing an order to purchase Shares and a request to redeem Shares shall be made in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in the relevant Fund’s prospectus. In the event the procedures include the use of recorded telephone lines, the Participant hereby consents to such use. The Trust reserves the right to issue additional or other procedures relating to the manner of creating or redeeming Creation Units, and the Participant, the Distributor and the Transfer Agent agree to comply with such procedures as may be issued from time to time, upon reasonable notice thereof.

With respect to any Redemption Order, the Participant acknowledges and agrees on behalf of itself and any party for which it is acting (regardless of its capacity) to use its best efforts to return to the Trust any dividend, distribution or other corporate action paid to it or to the party for which it is acting in respect of any Deposit Security that is transferred to the Participant or any party for which it is acting that, based on the valuation of such Deposit Security at the time of transfer, should have been paid to the Trust. With respect to any Redemption Order, the Participant also acknowledges and agrees on behalf of itself and any party for which it is acting (regardless of its capacity) that the Trust is entitled to reduce the amount of money or other proceeds due to the Participant or any party for which it is acting that, based on the valuation of such Deposit Security at the time of transfer, should be paid to the Fund. With respect to any Purchase Order, the Trust acknowledges and agrees to return to the Participant or any party for which it is acting any dividend, distribution or other corporate action paid to the Trust in respect of any Deposit Security that is transferred to the Trust that, based on the valuation of such Deposit Security at the time of transfer, should have been paid to the Participant or any party for which it is acting.

3. CREATION AND REDEMPTION PROCESS. If creations and redemptions pursuant to this Agreement are on an in-kind basis, Participant understands and acknowledges that the Transfer Agent will not effect a creation or redemption (issuing a Creation Unit Aggregation of Shares in the case of a creation, transferring Deposit Securities in the case of a redemption) until it has received confirmation of receipt of the Participant’s incoming security transfer through the Fed Book-Entry System, Euroclear, or DTC in the case of a creation, and through Euroclear or DTC in the case of a redemption.

4. DEPOSIT SECURITIES AND/OR RELEVANT CASH AMOUNTS. The Participant understands that the number and names of the designated portfolio of Deposit Securities (when applicable) and relevant cash amounts to be included in the current Portfolio Deposit for each Fund will be made available each day that the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) or the American Stock Exchange, whichever is so identified in the applicable Fund Prospectus for making such information available, is open for trading through the facilities of NSCC. The Participant will not be responsible for errors in the information relating to the Deposit Securities and/or relevant cash amounts to be included in the current Portfolio Deposit to be transmitted through the facilities of NSCC in connection with Redemption Orders and Purchase Orders that are caused by the Trust or the Transfer Agent, or otherwise.

In addition, the Participant understands that any advertising material that addresses redemptions of Shares, including the Prospectus, will disclose that the owners of Shares may acquire Shares and tender Shares for redemption to the Fund in Creation Unit aggregations only.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Participant and its affiliates may prepare and circulate in the regular course of their businesses research reports that include information, opinions or recommendations relating to Trust Shares (i) for public dissemination; provided that such research reports compare the relative merits and benefits of Shares with other products and are not used for purposes of marketing Shares, and (ii) for internal use by the Participant and other materials that include information, opinions or recommendations relating to Trust Shares.

7. SUB-CUSTODIAN ACCOUNT. The Participant understands and agrees that in the case of each Fund, the Trust has caused the Trust’s Custodian to maintain with a sub-custodian for such Fund an account in each relevant foreign jurisdiction to which the Participant shall, when applicable, deliver or cause to be delivered in connection with the creation of a Creation Unit aggregation the Deposit Securities not subject to settlement in the U.S. and any other applicable cash amounts (or the cash value of all or a part of such securities, in the case of a permitted or required cash purchase or “cash in lieu” amount) on behalf of itself or any other party for which it is acting (regardless of its capacity), with any appropriate adjustments as advised by the Trust, in accordance with the terms and conditions applicable to such account in such foreign jurisdiction.

8. TITLE TO SECURITIES: RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The Participant represents on behalf of itself and any party for which it acts that upon delivery of a portfolio of Deposit Securities to the Trust’s Custodian and/or relevant sub-custodian, when applicable, the Trust will acquire good and unencumbered title to such securities, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claims, including, without limitation, any restriction upon the sale or transfer of such securities imposed by (i) any agreement or arrangement entered into by the Participant or any party for which it is acting in connection with a transaction to purchase Shares or (ii) any provision of the 1933 Act, and any regulations thereunder (except that portfolio securities of issuers other than US issuers shall not be required to have been registered under the 1933 Act if exempt from such registration), or of the applicable laws or regulations of any other applicable jurisdiction and (iii) no such securities are “restricted securities” as such term is used in Rule 144(a)(3)(i) promulgated under the 0000 Xxx.

9. FEES. In connection with the creation or redemption of Creation Units, the Transfer Agent shall charge, and the Participant agrees to pay to the Transfer Agent, the Transaction Fee prescribed in the Trust’s Prospectus applicable to creations or redemptions, or, when applicable, the Transaction Fee

and such additional amounts as may be prescribed pursuant to the Trust’s Prospectus applicable to creations where the cash equivalent value of one or more Deposit Securities is being deposited in lieu of the inclusion of such Deposit Security in the securities portion of the Portfolio Deposit because the Participant is restricted by regulation or otherwise from investing or engaging in a transaction in such security. The Transaction Fee and such additional amounts may be waived or otherwise adjusted from time to time subject to the provisions relating thereto and any limitations as prescribed in the Prospectus. The Transfer Agent acknowledges and agrees to provide Participant with adequate notice of any such adjustment in the Transaction Fee.

10. AUTHORIZED PERSONS. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time thereafter, the Participant shall deliver to the Distributor and the Transfer Agent, duly certified as appropriate by its secretary or other duly authorized official, a certificate setting forth the names and signatures of all persons authorized to give instructions relating to activity contemplated hereby or any other notice, request or instruction on behalf of the Participant (each, an “Authorized Person”). Such certificate may be accepted and relied upon by the Distributor and the Transfer Agent as conclusive evidence of the facts set forth therein and shall be considered to be in full force and effect until receipt by the Distributor and the Transfer Agent of a superseding certificate bearing a subsequent date. The Transfer Agent shall issue to each Authorized Person a unique personal identification number (“PIN Number”) by which such Authorized Person and the Participant shall be identified and instructions issued by the Participant hereunder shall be authenticated. Upon the termination or revocation of authority of such Authorized Person by the Participant, the Participant shall give prompt written notice of such fact to the Distributor and the Transfer Agent and such notice shall be effective upon receipt by both the Distributor and the Transfer Agent.

11. REDEMPTION. The Participant represents and warrants that it will not obtain a Submission Number (as defined in Attachment A) from the Transfer Agent for the purpose of redeeming a Creation Unit unless it first ascertains that (a) it or its customer, as the case may be, owns outright or has full legal authority and legal beneficial right to tender for redemption the requisite number of Trust Shares of any Fund to be redeemed, and the entire proceeds of the Redemption and (b) such Trust Shares have not been loaned or pledged to another party nor are the subject of a repurchase agreement, securities lending agreement or such other arrangement which would preclude the delivery of such Trust Shares to the Transfer Agent in accordance with the Prospectus or as otherwise required by the Trust.

12. BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP. The Participant represents and warrants to the Distributor, the Transfer Agent and the Trust that it does not hold for the account of any single Beneficial Owner of Trust Shares, 80 percent (80%) or more of outstanding Trust Shares so as to cause the Trust to have a basis in the Deposit Securities deposited with the Trust different from the market value of such Deposit Securities on the date of such deposit, pursuant to Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Transfer Agent may request information from the Participant regarding Trust Share ownership to the extent necessary to make a determination regarding ownership of 80 percent (80%) or more of outstanding Trust Shares by a Beneficial Owner as a condition to the acceptance of a Portfolio Deposit.

13. INDEMNIFICATION.

(a) The Participant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor in its capacity as principal underwriter, the Trust, the Transfer Agent, their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls such persons within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any loss, liability, cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by such Indemnified Party as a result of (i) any breach by the Participant of any provision of this

[Lets discuss] With respect to (i) through (iii) above, Indemnified Party’s failure to promptly acknowledge Participant’s breach of, failure to perform or failure to comply with, the terms of this Agreement shall not negate the foregoing indemnification.

The foregoing shall not apply to any loss, damage, charge, liability, cost, expense, cause of action, obligation, judgment or fee incurred by such Indemnified Party arising out of Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or reckless or willful acts or omissions or the Indemnified Party’s failure to perform any of its obligations or responsibilities under this Agreement.

(c) No party to this Agreement shall be liable to the other party or to any other person for any damages arising out of mistakes or errors in data provided to such Indemnified Party by a third party, or out of interruptions or delays of electronic means of communications with the Indemnified Parties.

ATTACHMENT A

This document supplements the Trust’s Prospectus, and is an attachment to the Trust Participant Agreement with respect to the procedures to be used by (i) the Transfer Agent in processing an order for the creation of Trust Shares; (ii) the Transfer Agent in processing a request for the redemption of Trust Shares, and (iii) the Participant and the Transfer Agent in delivering or arranging for the delivery of requisite cash payments, Portfolio Deposits or Trust Shares, as the case may be, in connection with the submission of orders for creation or requests for redemption.

A Participant is first required to have signed the Trust Participant Agreement. Upon acceptance of the Trust Participant Agreement by the Distributor and the Transfer Agent, the Transfer Agent will assign a PIN Number to each Authorized Person authorized to act for the Participant. This will allow a Participant through its Authorized Person(s) to place an order with respect to Trust Shares.

I. TO PLACE AN ORDER FOR CREATION OR REDEMPTION OF TRUST SHARES

1. Call to Receive a Submission Number. An Authorized Person for the Participant will call the Trust Telephone Representative at (000) 000-0000 or 4970 not later than the closing time of the regular trading session on The New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE Closing Time”) (ordinarily 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) to receive a Submission Number. In the case of custom orders, the order must be received by the Transfer Agent no later than 3:00 p.m., Eastern time on the trade date. Upon verifying the authenticity of the caller (as determined by the use of the appropriate PIN Number) and the terms of the order for creation or request for redemption, the Trust Telephone Representative will issue a unique Submission Number. All orders with respect to the creation or redemption of Trust Shares are required to be in writing and accompanied by the designated Submission Number. Incoming telephone calls are queued and will be handled in the sequence received. The Participant must receive a Submission Number prior to NYSE Closing Time for its order to be processed that Business Day INCOMING CALLS THAT ARE ATTEMPTED LATER THAN THE NYSE CLOSING TIME WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

2. Assemble the Submission. The Authorized Person submitting an order to create or a request to redeem shall assemble (a) written instructions regarding such creation order or redemption request, (b) the designated Submission Number and (c) transmit such document by facsimile or telex to the Trust Telephone Representative and the Distributor, as applicable, according to the procedures set forth below in subsection 3. The document so transmitted is hereinafter referred to as the “Submission”, and the Business Day on which a Submission is made is hereinafter referred to as the “Transmittal Date”. NOTE THAT THE TELEPHONE CALL IN WHICH THE SUBMISSION NUMBER IS ISSUED INITIATES THE ORDER PROCESS BUT DOES NOT ALONE CONSTITUTE THE ORDER. AN ORDER OR REQUEST IS ONLY COMPLETED AND PROCESSED UPON RECEIPT OF THE SUBMISSION.

3. Transmit the Submission. A Submission Number is only valid for a limited time. The Submission for either creations or redemptions of Trust Shares must be sent by facsimile or telex to the Trust Telephone Representative, as applicable, within 15 minutes of the issuance of the Submission Number. In the event that the Submission is not received within such time period, the Trust Telephone Representative will attempt to contact the Participant to request immediate transmission of the Submission.

(a) In the case of a Submission for creation, unless the Submission is received by the Trust Telephone Representative upon the earlier of within (i) 15 minutes of contact with the

Participant or (ii) 15 minutes after the NYSE Closing Time, the Submission will be deemed invalid.

(b) In the case of a Submission for redemption, unless such Submission is received by the Trust Telephone Representative within (i) 15 minutes of contact with the Participant or (ii) 15 minutes after the NYSE Closing Time, whichever is earlier, such order for redemption contained therein shall be received in proper form (as described in the Prospectus) by the Transfer Agent on the Business Day following such Transmittal Date in accordance with the procedures set forth below or in the Fund’s Prospectus as the case may be.

4. Await Receipt of Confirmation.

(a) Creation Orders. The Transfer Agent shall issue to the Participant a confirmation of acceptance of an order to create Trust Shares in Creation Unit size aggregations within 15 minutes of its receipt of a Submission received in good form. In the event the Participant does not receive a timely confirmation from the Transfer Agent, it should contact the Distributor and the Trust Telephone Representative at the business numbers indicated.

(b) Requests for Redemption. The Transfer Agent shall issue to the Participant a confirmation of acceptance of a request to redeem Trust Shares in Creation Unit size aggregations within 15 minutes of its receipt of a Submission received in good form. In the event the Participant does not receive a timely confirmation from the Transfer Agent, it should contact the Transfer Agent directly at the business number indicated.

II. PARTICIPANTS’ RESPONSIBILITY FOR DELIVERING OR EFFECTING THE DELIVERY OF REQUISITE PORTFOLIO DEPOSITS OR TRUST SHARES AND CASH PAYMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH ORDERS FOR CREATION OR REQUESTS FOR REDEMPTION

1. Creation Orders. The DTC Participant notified of acknowledgment of an order to create Trust Shares shall be required, when applicable, to effect a transfer to the Transfer Agent of (a) the requisite Deposit Securities through Euroclear, DTC and/or Fed Book-Entry so as to be received by the Transfer Agent no later than [11:00] a.m. E.S.T. on the next Business Day immediately following the Business Day on which such order is Deemed Received by the Distributor as set forth below in Section IV, in such a way as to replicate the Portfolio Deposit established on the Transmittal Date by the Transfer Agent and (b) the Cash Component, if any, through the Federal Reserve Bank wire system so as to be received by the Transfer Agent by [2:00] p.m. E.S.T. on the next Business Day immediately following the day such order is Deemed Received. If the Transfer Agent does not receive the Deposit Securities by [11:00] a.m. E.S.T. and the Cash Component, if any, by [2:00] p.m. E.S.T. on the Business Day immediately following the day such order is received in proper form (as described in the Prospectus), the creation order contained in such Submission shall be canceled. Upon written notice to the Transfer Agent, the DTC/Euroclear Participant may resubmit such canceled order on the following Business Day using a Portfolio Deposit as newly constituted.

2. Purchase of Creation Unit Aggregations Prior to Receipt of Deposit Securities. In the case of in-kind creations, Creation Unit Aggregations may be created in advance of receipt by the Trust of all or a portion of the applicable Deposit Securities as described below. In these circumstances, the initial deposit will have a value greater than the NAV of the Fund Shares on the date the order is placed in proper form since, in addition to available Deposit Securities, cash must be deposited in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Cash Component, plus (ii) 115% of the market value of the undelivered Deposit Securities (the “Additional Cash Deposit”). The order shall be deemed to be received on the Business Day on which the order is placed provided that the order is placed in proper form prior to 4:00 p.m.,

xii

Eastern time, on such date, and federal funds in the appropriate amount are deposited with the Transfer Agent by 11:00 a.m., Eastern time, the following Business Day. If the order is not placed in proper form by 4:00 p.m. or federal funds in the appropriate amount are not received by 11:00 a.m. the next Business Day, then the order may be deemed to be canceled and the Participant shall be liable to the Fund for losses, if any, resulting therefrom. An additional amount of cash shall be required to be deposited with the Trust, pending delivery of the missing Deposit Securities to the extent necessary to maintain the Additional Cash Deposit with the Trust in an amount at least equal to 115% of the daily marked to market value of the missing Deposit Securities.

3. Redemption Requests. The DTC/Euroclear Participant notified of acknowledgment of a request to redeem Trust Shares shall be required to effect a transfer to the Transfer Agent (a) the requisite number of Trust Shares through DTC or Euroclear no later than the NYSE Closing Time on the Business Day on which such order is Deemed Received by the Transfer Agent and (b) the Cash Redemption Amount, if any, through the Federal Reserve Bank wire system by no later than 2:00 p.m. E.S.T. on the next Business Day immediately following the Business Day on which such order is Deemed Received by the Transfer Agent.

4. Creation Orders – Foreign Securities.

Deposit Securities, when applicable, must be delivered to an account maintained at the applicable local sub-custodian of the Trust on or before [2:00] p.m., New York time, on the Contractual Settlement Date (defined below). Participant must also make available on or before the Contractual Settlement Date, by means mutually agreed upon by the Trust and the Participant, immediately available or same day funds estimated by the Trust to be sufficient to pay the Cash Component next determined after acceptance of an order, together with the applicable Transaction Fee, if any. Any excess funds will be promptly returned to the Participant following settlement of the issue of the Creation Unit of Shares. The “Contractual Settlement Date” is the earlier of (i) the date upon which all of the required Deposit Securities, the Cash Component and any other cash amounts which may be due are delivered to the Trust and (ii) the latest day for settlement on the customary settlement cycle in the jurisdiction where any of the securities of the relevant Fund are customarily traded.

A Creation Unit of Shares will not be issued until the transfer of good title to the Trust of the portfolio of Deposit Securities and the payment of the Cash Component and the applicable Transaction Fee have been completed. When the sub-custodian confirms to the Custodian that the required securities included in the Portfolio Deposit (or, when permitted in the sole discretion of the Trust, the cash value thereof) have been delivered to the account of the relevant sub-custodian, which confirmation shall be done promptly after such delivery, the Custodian shall notify the Distributor and Transfer Agent, and the Trust will issue and cause the delivery of the Creation Unit of Shares via DTC.

In the event that Participant is unable to deliver the Deposit Securities because the country does not permit “free delivery of securities” then the Participant shall deliver such amounts of cash in lieu of securities as described in the Fund’s Prospectus.

5. Redemption Orders – Foreign Securities.

Deliveries of in-kind redemption proceeds generally will be made within three Business Days. Due to holidays in certain countries, delivery to redeeming Participants may take longer than three Business Days after the day on which the Transfer Agent receives the Participant’s redemption order in proper form, but only for such additional time as is necessary to account for the period of time in which the local sub-custodian was unable to make delivery due to the holiday. A redeeming Beneficial Owner or Participant acting on behalf of such Beneficial Owner must maintain appropriate securities broker-dealer,

xiii

bank or other custody arrangements to which account such in-kind redemption proceeds will be delivered. If neither the redeeming Beneficial Owner nor the Participant acting on behalf of the redeeming Beneficial Owner has appropriate arrangements to take delivery of the Deposit Securities in the applicable jurisdiction and it is not possible to make other such arrangements, or if it is not possible to effect deliveries of the Deposit Securities in such jurisdiction, the Beneficial Owner will be required to receive its redemption proceeds in cash. In such case, the investor will receive a cash payment equal to the net asset value of its Shares less the applicable Transaction Fee.

Arrangements satisfactory to the Trust must be in place for the Participant to transfer Creation Units through DTC on or before the settlement date. Redemptions of Shares for Fund Securities will be subject to compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and the Funds (whether or not it otherwise permits cash redemptions) reserve the right to redeem Creation Units for cash to the extent that the Funds could not lawfully deliver specific Fund Securities upon redemptions or could not do so without first registering the Deposit Securities under such laws.

6. Transaction Fee. In connection with the creation or redemption of Creation Units, the Transfer Agent shall charge, and the Participant agrees to pay to the Transfer Agent, the Transaction Fee prescribed in the Trust’s prospectus applicable to (i) creations or redemptions or the Transaction Fee and such additional amounts as may be prescribed pursuant to the Trust’s prospectus applicable to creations or redemptions and (ii) creations where the cash equivalent value of one or more Deposit Securities is being deposited in lieu of the inclusion of such Deposit Security in the securities portion of the Portfolio Deposit because the Participant is restricted by regulation or otherwise from investing or engaging in a transaction in such security. Such Transaction Fee and additional amounts, if any, shall be included in the calculation of the Cash Component or Cash Redemption Amount payable or to be received, as the case may be, by the Participant in connection with the creation or redemption order.

III. RESPONSIBILITY FOR EFFECTING DELIVERY OF REQUISITE TRUST SHARES OR SECURITIES AND CASH PAYMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH ORDERS FOR CREATION OR REQUESTS FOR REDEMPTION

1. Creation Orders. After the Transfer Agent has received notification of a Submission from the Participant for a creation order for Trust Shares which has been Deemed Received by the Transfer Agent as set forth below in Section IV, the Transfer Agent shall initiate procedures to transfer the requisite Trust Shares through DTC and the DTC Participant and the Cash Component, if any, through the Federal Reserve Bank wire system so as to be received by the creator no later than on the third (3rd) Business Day following the Business Day on which the Submission is Deemed Received by the Transfer Agent.

2. Redemption Requests. After the Transfer Agent has received a Submission for a redemption request for Trust Shares and Deemed Received such submission as set forth below in Section IV, the Transfer Agent shall initiate procedures to transfer the requisite securities (or contracts to purchase such securities expected to be delivered within three Business Days) through DTC and the DTC Participant and the Cash Redemption Amount, if any, through the Federal Reserve Bank wire system so as to be received by the Beneficial Owner no later than on the third (3rd) Business Day (or longer for certain foreign countries) following the Business Day on which the Submission is Deemed Received by the Transfer Agent.

IV. PROCEDURES BY WHICH AN ORDER TO CREATE OR A REQUEST TO REDEEM SHALL BE “DEEMED RECEIVED”

1. Creation Orders. An order to create Trust Shares shall be Deemed Received by the Transfer Agent on the Transmittal Date only if: (a) the Submission containing such order is in proper form, (b) such Submission is received by the Transfer Agent no later than the time on such Transmittal Date as set forth in Section I(3)(a) hereof, (c) when applicable, the requisite number of Deposit Securities is transferred through Euroclear, DTC and/or Fed Book-Entry to the account of the Trust no later than 11:00 a.m. E.S.T. on the Business Day next following the Transmittal Date and (d) the cash equal to the Cash Component, if any, is transferred via the Federal Reserve Bank wire system to the account of the Trust by no later than 2:00 p.m. E.S.T. on the Business Day next following the Transmittal Date. If either the Submission, the requisite Deposit Securities (when applicable) or the cash equal to the Cash Component is not received by the Trustee within the time periods set forth above, such order shall be deemed invalid.

2. Redemption Requests. A request to redeem Trust Shares shall be Deemed Received by the Transfer Agent on the Transmittal Date only if (a) the Submission containing such request is in proper form, (b) such Submission is received by the Trust no later than the time as set forth in Section I(3)(b) hereof, (c) the requisite number of Trust Shares is transferred via DTC or Euroclear to the account of the Transfer Agent by the NYSE Closing Time on such Transmittal Date and (d) the Cash Redemption Amount owed to the Trust, if any, is received by the Transfer Agent no later than 2:00 p.m. E.S.T. of the Business Day next following such Transmittal Date. If either the Submission, the Trust Shares or cash equal to the Cash Redemption Amount, if any, is not received by the Trust within the time periods set forth above, such redemption request shall be Deemed Received by the Transfer Agent on the Business Day on which both the Submission and the requisite number of Trust Shares are delivered to the Transfer Agent within the proper time periods as set forth above; provided that the Cash Redemption Amount, if any, is then paid on the next Business Day within the time period set forth above.

3. Ambiguous Instructions. In the event that a Submission contains terms that differ from the information provided in the telephone call at the time of issuance of the Submission Number, the Trust Telephone Representative will attempt to contact the Participant to request confirmation of the terms of the order. If an Authorized Person confirms the terms as they appear in the Submission then the Submission will be accepted and processed. If an Authorized Person contradicts its terms, the Submission will be deemed invalid, and a corrected Submission must be received by the Transfer Agent, as applicable, not later than the earlier of (i) within 15 minutes of such contact with the Participant or (ii) 15 minutes after the NYSE Closing Time. If the Trust Telephone Representative is not able to contact an Authorized Person, then the Submission shall be accepted and processed in accordance with its terms notwithstanding any inconsistency from the terms of the telephone information. In the event that a Submission contains terms that are illegible, the Submission will be deemed invalid and the Trust Telephone Representative will attempt to contact the Participant to request retransmission of the Submission. A corrected Submission must be received by the Transfer Agent, as applicable, not later than the earlier of (i) within 15 minutes of such contact with the Participant or (ii) 15 minutes after the NYSE Closing Time.

4. Suspension or Rejection of an Order. The Distributor or Transfer Agent reserves the right to suspend a Submission in the event that its acceptance would appear to result in the Participant or a Beneficial Owner owning 80 percent (80%) or more of all outstanding Trust Shares and if pursuant to Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, such a circumstance would result in the Trust having a basis in the securities deposited different from the market value of such securities on the date of deposit. In such event, the Distributor or the Trust Telephone Representative will attempt to contact an Authorized Person for purposes of confirmation of the fact that with respect to such Participant

no Beneficial Owner would own 80 percent (80%) or more of all outstanding Trust Shares upon execution of the Submission or that such a circumstance would not result in the Trust having a basis in the securities deposited different from the market value of such securities on the date of deposit. In the event that (i) the Distributor or the Trust Telephone Representative is unable to contact an Authorized Person or (ii) the Participant fails to transmit an identical Submission containing a representation and warranty as to such fact, then the Submission shall be deemed invalid.

The Trust reserves the absolute right to reject a creation order transmitted to it by the Distributor in respect of a Fund if: (i) the order is not in proper form; (ii) the investor(s), upon obtaining the Fund Shares ordered, would own 80% or more of the currently outstanding shares of any Fund; (iii) the Deposit Securities delivered are not as disseminated for that date by the Custodian, as described above; (iv) acceptance of the Deposit Securities would have certain adverse tax consequences to the Fund; (v) acceptance of the Fund Deposit would, in the opinion of counsel, be unlawful; (vi) acceptance of the Fund Deposit would otherwise, in the discretion of the Trust or the Adviser, have an adverse effect on the Trust or the rights of beneficial owners; or (vii) in the event that circumstances outside the control of the Trust, the Transfer Agent, the Distributor and the Adviser make it for all practical purposes impossible to process creation orders. Examples of such circumstances include acts of God; public service or utility problems such as fires, floods, extreme weather conditions and power outages resulting in telephone, telecopy and computer failures; market conditions or activities causing trading halts; systems failures involving computer or other information systems affecting the Trust, the Adviser, the Distributor, DTC, NSCC, the Transfer Agent, the Custodian or sub-custodian or any other participant in the creation process, and similar extraordinary events. The Transfer Agent shall notify immediately a prospective creator of a Creation Unit and/or the Authorized Participant acting on behalf of such prospective creator of its rejection of the order of such person. The Trust, the Custodian, any sub-custodian and the Distributor are under no duty, however, to give notification of any defects or irregularities in the delivery of Fund Deposits nor shall any of them incur any liability for the failure to give any such notification.

V. PROCEDURES SPECIFIC TO CUSTOM BASKETS

The Fund has developed custom creation, redemption and other non-typical baskets to accommodate fixed income instruments, which are characterized by minimum and incremental trading lots (the “Custom Baskets”). Custom Baskets are intended to allow Participants to transact in that Fund and other non-standard baskets using the Custom Basket process. The Custom Basket process allows for cash-in-lieu for certain securities as well as non-typical baskets and broker-to-broker settlements. Baskets will usually be created with constituent security allocations at variance from what is published in NSCC. To ensure proper tracking of the Fund to its benchmark index, Standard Baskets will be compiled and used for index indicative value (“IOPV”) calculation only. The following guidelines must be followed when transacting Custom Baskets:

5. On or before T-1, the Participant must request a Custom Basket from the Investment Advisor (PowerShares Capital Management LLC) at 000-000-0000 for creations and redemptions. The Investment Advisor must identify the securities to be added to or omitted from the creation or redemption basket (the “Added Issues” or the “Omitted Issues”). In the case of an Omitted Issue, cash in lieu is defined as the Net Asset Value of the Fund times the number of units in one creation block minus the value of the Omitted Issues. Participants will also be responsible for any costs associated with the conversion of cash into the Omitted Issues to be purchased. Participants may request that the Custom Basket be available for creations and redemptions for a one-time transaction, a specific period or indefinitely. The Investment Adviser will advise the Transfer Agent who will review the Custom Basket request and, if approved, will deliver a confirmation back to the Investment Advisor and the Participant. In the event subsequent additions and/or deletions to Added Issues or Omitted Issues are required to change the custom basket already approved, the Investment Advisor is responsible for advising both the

xvi

Participant and the Transfer Agent. For subscriptions made entirely in cash, Participants must deposit funds by trade date plus 1 day (T+1) for Treasuries, and trade date plus 3 days (T+3) for Municipals, other Government Debt, Preferreds and Corporate debt obligations reflecting the trade settlement cycle for the foregoing.

6. For Funds holding only securities which clear through NSCC’s Continuous Net Settlement process, on trade date minus 1 day, prior to the opening of the NYSE, the Fund through Transfer Agent will notify NSCC as to the components of the approved Custom Baskets available that day along with the components of the Standard Basket. Each Custom Basket will be identified by a separate NSCC assigned instruction CUSIP. NSCC will also be advised by the Transfer Agent of Standard Baskets, solely for the purpose of calculating IOPV during the trading hours. For Funds holding securities settled through Euroclear or other foreign depositories, the Transfer Agent will notify Euroclear or a local depository participant, generally a subcustodian of the Transfer Agent, of securities to be received.

7. On trade date, the Participant will follow the directions regarding placing orders outlined in Attachment A. A Participant wishing to create or redeem a Custom Basket must identify the custom CUSIP on the order form in the blank provided. Orders received without a custom CUSIP indicated will be processed as orders for Standard Baskets. Participants placing orders for Custom Baskets must note that the cut-off-time to create and redeem a Custom Basket will be 3:00 p.m., Eastern time. Orders for Custom Baskets will not be processed if received by the Transfer Agent after 3:00 p.m., Eastern time. The Participant may transact on the Standard Basket at any time during the trade date.
