Initial Deposit and the Depositor has the full right to transfer the Initial
Deposit to the Up-MACRO Holding Trust, and the Initial Deposit conveyed to the
Up-MACRO Holding Trust by the Depositor has been conveyed to the Up-MACRO
Holding Trust free and clear of any lien of any Person claiming through or under
the Depositor or any of its Affiliates and in compliance, in all material
respects, with all Requirements of Law applicable to the Depositor.
(k) Governmental Authorization. All authorizations, consents,
orders or approvals of or registrations or declarations with any Governmental
Authority required to be obtained, effected or given by the Depositor in
connection with the conveyance by the Depositor of the Initial Deposit to the
Up-MACRO Holding Trust have been duly obtained, effected or given and are in
full force and effect.
(l) Valid Transfer. This Trust Agreement constitutes a valid
transfer and assignment to the Up-MACRO Holding Trust of all right, title and
interest of the Depositor in and to the Initial Deposit and other Trust Assets
conveyed to the Up-MACRO Holding Trust by the Depositor and all monies due or to
become due with respect thereto and the proceeds thereof and constitutes a grant
of a "security interest" (as defined in the UCC) in such property to the
Up-MACRO Holding Trust, which, in the case of the Initial Deposit and the
proceeds thereof, is enforceable upon execution and delivery of this Trust
Agreement.
(m) No Conflicting Claim. Neither the Depositor nor any Person
claiming through or under the Depositor has any claim to or interest in the
Securities Account or the Distribution Account.
The representations and warranties of the Depositor set forth in this
Section 2.4 shall survive the transfer and deposit by the Depositor of the
Initial Deposit to the Up-MACRO Holding Trust. Upon discovery by the Depositor,
the Trustee or the Administrative Agent of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties by the Depositor set forth in this Section 2.4,
the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other
parties hereto. The Depositor agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and the
Administrative Agent in attempting to cure any such breach.
Section 2.5 Form of Certificates; Book-Entry System; Transferability of
Up-MACRO Holding Shares.
(a) Form of Certificates. The Certificates evidencing the
Up-MACRO Holding Shares shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit
A attached hereto, with appropriate insertions, modifications and omissions as
hereinafter provided. No Up-MACRO Holding Shares shall be entitled to any
benefits under this Trust Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose
unless a Certificate evidencing those Up-MACRO Holding Shares has been executed
by the Trustee by the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized
signatory of the Trustee and countersigned by the manual signature of a duly
authorized officer of the Depositor. The Trustee shall maintain books on which
the registered ownership of each Up-MACRO Holding Share and transfers, if any,
of such registered ownership shall be recorded. Certificates evidencing the
Up-MACRO Holding Shares bearing the manual signature of a duly authorized
signatory of the Trustee and the manual or facsimile signature of a duly
authorized officer of the Depositor, if applicable, who was, at the time such
Certificates were executed, a proper signatory of the Trustee or the Depositor,
as applicable, shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such signatory has
ceased to hold such office prior to the delivery of such Certificates.
The Certificates may be endorsed with or have incorporated in the text
thereof such legends or recitals or modifications not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Trust Agreement as may be required by the Trustee or required
to comply with any applicable law or regulations thereunder or with the rules
and regulations of any securities exchange upon which the Up-MACRO Holding
Shares may be listed or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to
indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which the Up-MACRO Holding
Shares evidenced by a particular Certificate are subject.
(b) Book-Entry Settlement. The Depositor and the Trustee shall
apply to the Depository for acceptance of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares in its
book-entry settlement system. The Up-MACRO Holding Shares deposited with the
Depository shall be evidenced by one or more global Certificates which shall be
registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for the Depository, and shall
bear the following legend:
UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF
THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION (THE "DEPOSITORY"), TO THE
AGENT AUTHORIZED BY THE DEPOSITOR FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR
PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR
IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE
DEPOSITORY (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS
REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY), ANY TRANSFER,
PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS
WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST
HEREIN.
So long as the Up-MACRO Holding Shares are eligible for book-entry
settlement with the Depository and such settlement is available, unless
otherwise required by law, all Up-MACRO Holding Shares shall be evidenced by one
or more global Certificates the Registered Owner of which is the Depository or a
nominee of the Depository and (i) no Beneficial Owner of Up-MACRO Holding Shares
will be entitled to receive a separate Certificate evidencing those shares, (ii)
the interest of a Beneficial Owner in the Up-MACRO Holding Shares represented by
a global Certificate will be shown only on, and transfer of that interest will
be effected only through, records maintained by the Depository or a DTC
Participant or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner holds
that interest and (iii) the rights of a Beneficial Owner with respect to
Up-MACRO Holding Shares represented by a global Certificate will be exercised
only to the extent allowed by, and in compliance with, the arrangements in
effect between such Beneficial Owner and the Depository or the DTC Participant
or Indirect Participant through which that Beneficial Owner holds an interest in
Up-MACRO Holding Shares.
As provided in the Depository Agreement, upon the settlement date of
any creation, transfer or redemption of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares, the
Depository will credit or debit, on its book-entry registration and transfer
system, the amount of Up-MACRO Holding Shares so created, transferred or
redeemed to the accounts of the appropriate DTC Participants. The accounts to be
credited and charged shall be designated by the Trustee and each Authorized
Participant, in the case of a Paired Subsequent Issuance or Paired Optional
Redemption of MACRO Units. Except as otherwise described in Section 2.5([ ]),
ownership of beneficial interests in Up-MACRO Holding Shares will be limited to
DTC Participants, Indirect Participants and persons holding interests through
DTC Participants and Indirect Participants. Owners of beneficial interests in
Up-MACRO Holding Shares ("Beneficial Owners") will be shown on, and the transfer
of beneficial ownership by Beneficial Owners will be effected only through, in
the case of DTC Participants, records maintained by the Depository and, in the
case of Indirect Participants and Beneficial Owners holding through a DTC
Participant or an Indirect Participant, through those records or the records of
the relevant DTC Participants. Beneficial Owners are expected to receive from or
through the broker or bank that maintains the account through which the
Beneficial Owner has purchased Up-MACRO Holding Shares a written confirmation
relating to their purchase of Up-MACRO Holding Shares.
(c) Notices to Beneficial Owners. As described above, the
Trustee will recognize the Depository or its nominee as the owner of all
Up-MACRO Holding Shares for all purposes except as expressly set forth in this
Trust Agreement. Conveyance of all notices, statements and other communications
to Beneficial Owners will be effected as follows. The Trustee shall inquire of
each such DTC Participant as to the number of Beneficial Owners holding Up-MACRO
Holding Shares, directly or indirectly, through such DTC Participant. The
Trustee shall provide each such DTC Participant with sufficient copies of such
notice, statement or other communication, in such form, number and at such place
as such DTC Participant may reasonably request, in order that such notice,
statement or communication may be transmitted by such DTC Participant, directly
or indirectly, to such Beneficial Owners. In addition, the Trust shall pay to
each such DTC Participant an amount as reimbursement for the expenses attendant
to such transmittal, all subject to applicable statutory and regulatory
requirements.
(d) Distributions on Book-Entry Certificates. Distributions on
Up-MACRO Holding Shares pursuant to Section 5.2 and Section 6.1 shall be made to
the Depository or its nominee, Cede & Co., as the registered owner of all
Up-MACRO Holding Shares. The Trustee and the Depositor expect that the
Depository or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of distributions in
respect of Up-MACRO Holding Shares, shall credit immediately the DTC
Participant's accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their
respective beneficial interests in Up-MACRO Holding Shares as shown on the
records of the Depository or its nominee. The Trustee and the Depositor also
expect that payments by DTC Participants to Indirect Participants and Beneficial
Owners held through such DTC Participants and Indirect Participants will be
governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case
with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered
in a "street name," and shall be the responsibility of such DTC Participants and
Indirect Participants. Neither the Trustee nor the Depositor will have any
responsibility or liability for any aspects of the records relating to or
notices to Beneficial Owners, or payments made on account of beneficial
ownership interests in Up-MACRO Holding Shares, or for maintaining, supervising
or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests or for
any other aspect of the relationship between the Depository and the DTC
Participants or the relationship between such DTC Participants and the Indirect
Participants and Beneficial Owners owning through such DTC Participants or
Indirect Participants or between or among the Depository, any Beneficial Owner
and any person by or through which such Beneficial Owner is considered to own
Up-MACRO Holding Shares.
(e) Registration of Transfer, Exchange and Surrender of the
Up-MACRO Holding Shares. The Trustee shall cause to be kept at the office or
agency to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.15 a
register (the "Share Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations
as it may prescribe, a transfer agent and registrar (the "Transfer Agent and
Registrar") shall provide for the registration of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares
and of transfers and exchanges of such shares as herein provided. The Transfer
Agent and Registrar shall initially be the Trustee.
The Depositor may revoke such appointment and remove any Transfer Agent
and Registrar if the Depositor determines in its sole discretion that such
Transfer Agent and Registrar failed to perform its obligations under this Trust
Agreement in any material respect. Any Transfer Agent and Registrar shall be
permitted to resign as Transfer Agent and Registrar upon thirty (30) days'
notice to the Depositor and the Trustee; provided, however, that such
resignation shall not be effective and such Transfer Agent and Registrar shall
continue to perform its duties as Transfer Agent and Registrar until the Trustee
has appointed a successor Transfer Agent and Registrar reasonably acceptable to
the Depositor.
At the option of a Holder, Up-MACRO Holding Shares may be registered
for transfer at any office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar
maintained for such purpose, upon presentation of an ownership Certificate of an
Up-MACRO Holding Share by the Holder to be registered for transfer or exchanged.
When an ownership Certificate of Up-MACRO Holding Share is presented for
registration of transfer, the Depositor shall execute, the Trustee shall
authenticate and the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall register one or more new
Up-MACRO Holding Shares in the Up-MACRO Holding Trust in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees.
Every Certificate of Up-MACRO Holding Share presented for registration
of transfer shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form
satisfactory to the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar duly executed by
the Holder or the attorney-in-fact thereof duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Up-MACRO Holding Shares, but the Transfer Agent and Registrar may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
or for payment shall be cancelled and disposed of in a manner satisfactory to
the Trustee.
(f) Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Shares. If (a) any
mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Transfer Agent and Registrar, or the
Transfer Agent and Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the
Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may
be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice
to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Depositor shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and the Transfer
Agent and Registrar shall deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
tenor and aggregate beneficial interest. In connection with the issuance of any
new Certificate under this Section 2.5(f), the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and
Registrar may require the payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any
other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Transfer
Agent and Registrar) connected therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued
pursuant to this Section 2.5(f) shall constitute complete and indefeasible
evidence of ownership in the Up-MACRO Holding Trust, as if originally issued,
whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any
time.
Section 2.6 Paired Subsequent Issuances.
(a) At any time following the Closing Date, but prior to the
Final Scheduled Termination Date or any Early Termination Date, the Trustee may
issue and deliver additional Up-MACRO Holding Shares contemporaneously with the
issuance of additional Down-MACRO Holding Shares in the form of MACRO Units
(such an issuance, a "Paired Subsequent Issuance") upon instruction from any
Authorized Participant. As provided in the Participants Agreement, a Paired
Subsequent Issuance may be directed solely by one or more Authorized
Participants on any Business Day by delivering a Purchase Order to the Trustee
and the Administrative Agent on such Business Day (such date, the "Subsequent
Issuance Date"), prior to the earlier of (i) 2:00 p.m., New York City Time, or
(ii) half an hour before the end of trading in the futures contracts from which
the Applicable Reference Price of Crude Oil is derived, designating, inter alia,
(i) the name of the Authorized Participant, (ii) the Submission Number (as
defined in the Participants Agreement), (iii) the PIN Number (as defined in the
Participants Agreement), (iv) the CUSIP Numbers for the Paired Holding Shares to
be created, and (v) the number of Paired Holding Shares to be issued in the form
of MACRO Units. On the next Business Day after the Subsequent Issuance Date, not
later than 10:00 a.m., New York City Time, the Authorized Participant directing
the Paired Subsequent Issuance shall deliver available funds to the Trustee in
an amount equal to (i) the Aggregate Par Amount of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares
requested by that Authorized Participant, plus (ii) the Aggregate Par Amount of
the Down-MACRO Holding Shares requested by that Authorized Participant, plus
(iii) the Up-MACRO Income Make-Whole Amount, plus (iv) the Down-MACRO Income
Make-Whole Amount. On the same Business Day, upon the satisfaction of the
procedures and conditions for a Paired Subsequent Issuance that are specified in
the Participants Agreement and no later than [3:00] p.m., New York City Time,
the Trustee, acting together with the Down-MACRO Holding Trustee, each on behalf
of their respective Paired Holding Trust, shall issue and deliver to the
Depository account of the Authorized Participant who directed such Paired
Subsequent Issuance, Paired Holding Shares constituting the number of MACRO
Units ordered by such Authorized Participant.
(b) Subject to the requirements and limitations set forth
herein and in the Participants Agreement, the number of Up-MACRO Holding Shares
that the Up-MACRO Holding Trust may issue as part of a Paired Subsequent
Issuance is unlimited. The Trustee and the Administrative Agent shall only
process Purchase Orders from Authorized Participants that have executed a
Participants Agreement that is in full force and effect at the time when a
Purchase Order is placed. The Administrative Agent will maintain and make
available at its offices specified in Section [ ] during normal business hours a
current list of the Authorized Participants eligible to participate in a Paired
Subsequent Issuance. Each Paired Subsequent Issuance shall be effected in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Attachment A to the Participants
Agreement, which may be amended from time to time in accordance with the
provisions of the Participants Agreement; provided, however that any such
amendment shall not constitute an amendment of this Trust Agreement. In the
event of any conflict between the Participants Agreement and this Trust
Agreement, the provisions of the Participants Agreement shall govern.
(c) Concurrently with any Paired Subsequent Issuance, the
Trustee, as directed by the Administrative Agent, acting together with the
Down-MACRO Holding Trustee, each on behalf of their respective Paired Holding
Trust, shall adjust the aggregate amount of the Income Distribution Agreement
and enter into additional Settlement Contracts based on the Net Par Amount
Change to the Up-MACRO Aggregate Par Amount and the Down-MACRO Aggregate Par
Amount, after giving effect to any Paired Subsequent Issuances or Paired
Optional Redemptions occurring on that Business Day.
(d) The Trustee shall have the absolute right, but shall have
no obligation, to reject any Purchase Order (i) if the Administrative Agent
determines that the Authorized Participant directing the Paired Subsequent
Issuance has not deposited sufficient funds with the Trustee, (ii) if the
Depositor determines that such Purchase Order would have adverse tax or
securities law consequences for either of the Paired Holding Trusts or the
holders of the Paired Holding Shares, (iii) the acceptance or fulfillment of
which would, in the opinion of counsel to the Depositor acceptable to the
Trustee, be unlawful, (iv) in the case of a Paired Subsequent Issuance, if the
Down-MACRO Holding Trustee notifies the Trustee that it has rejected or shall
reject the Purchase Order for additional Down-MACRO Holding Shares made in
connection with such issuance or (v) if circumstances outside the control of the
Trustee, the Depositor or the Administrative Agent make it impractical or not
feasible to cause the Up-MACRO Holding Trust to issue additional Up-MACRO
Holding Shares. None of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Administrative Agent
shall be liable to any Person by reason of the rejection of any Purchase Order.
(e) A non-refundable transaction fee will be payable to the
Trustee for its own account in connection with each Purchase Order pursuant to
this Section 2.6 in the amount specified in Section 6 of the Participants
Agreement.
(f) Only global Certificates will be issued to the Depository
upon the Paired Subsequent Issuance of additional Up-MACRO Holding Shares. So
long as the Depository Agreement is in effect, the Up-MACRO Holding Shares will
be transferable solely through the book-entry systems of the Depository, and DTC
Participants and their Indirect Participants, as more fully described in Section
2.5 hereof. The Depository may discontinue providing its services with respect
to the Up-MACRO Holding Shares by giving notice to the Trustee, the
Administrative Agent and the Depositor pursuant to and in conformity with the
provisions of the Depository Agreement and discharging its responsibilities with
respect thereto under applicable law. Under such circumstances, the Trustee, the
Administrative Agent and the Depositor shall find a replacement for the
Depository to perform its functions at a comparable cost and on terms acceptable
to the Trustee and the Depositor.
Section 2.7 Up-MACRO Recapitalization Issuance Following a
Recapitalization Event.
(a) If, on any Price Determination Day, the Applicable
Reference Price of Crude Oil decreases to an Ending Level at which the Up-MACRO
Underlying Value is less than or equal to zero, then the Administrative Agent
shall promptly, but not later than the close of business on such Price
Determination Day, send both an electronic notice and a written notice thereof
(via overnight courier) to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Down-MACRO Holding
Trustee, the Up-MACRO Tradeable Trustee and the Down-MACRO Tradeable Trustee.
The Administrative Agent shall also immediately commence soliciting orders from
each of the Authorized Participants and any other Persons meeting the
requirements for an Authorized Participant but not otherwise a party to the
Participants Agreement to participate in an issuance of additional Up-MACRO
Holding Shares if an Up-MACRO Recapitalization Event occurs (such issuance, an
"Up-MACRO Subsequent Issuance").
(b) If the Applicable Reference Price of Crude Oil remains at
or below an Ending Level at which the Up-MACRO Underlying Value is less than or
equal to zero for 10 consecutive Price Determination Days and an Up-MACRO
Recapitalization Event occurs pursuant to Section 11.1, and (ii) the
Administrative Agent has received sufficient orders from Authorized Participants
or any other similarly situated Person described in paragraph (a) of this
Section 2.7 to issue Up-MACRO Holding Shares in an Aggregate Par Amount equal to
at least [ ]% of the Aggregate Par Amount of the currently Outstanding Up-MACRO
Holding Shares, then the Administrative Agent shall communicate such orders to
the Trustee. Concurrently, the Depositor, the Trustee, acting together with the
Down-MACRO Holding Trustee, each on behalf of their respective Paired Holding
Trust, the Administrative Agent, and any Person who wishes to purchase newly
issued Up-MACRO Holding Shares shall enter into a purchase agreement, mutually
acceptable to the parties thereto, under which additional Up-MACRO Holding
Shares shall be issued following the occurrence of an Up-MACRO Recapitalization
Event (such additional issuance, an "Up-MACRO Recapitalization Issuance"). Such
Up-MACRO Subsequent Issuance shall be conditioned upon (i) the effectiveness of
a new registration statement containing an updated prospectus relating to the
Up-MACRO Holding Shares, (ii) the delivery by the Depositor of such new
prospectus relating to the new Up-MACRO Holding Shares and (iii) satisfaction of
the Up-MACRO Recapitalization Condition.
(c) Upon the closing date of the Up-MACRO Subsequent Issuance
(as set forth in the purchase agreement described in paragraph (b) of this
Section 2.7), the parties hereto shall enter into an amendment to this Trust
Agreement and the Down-MACRO Holding Trust Agreement in order to reflect a new
Starting Level.
(d) Concurrently with the creation of additional Up-MACRO
Holding Shares in an Up-MACRO Subsequent Issuance pursuant to paragraph (b) of
this Section 2.7, or the creation of additional Down-MACRO Holding Shares
pursuant to Section [2.7(b)] of the Down-MACRO Holding Trust Agreement, the
Trustee, acting together with the Down-MACRO Holding Trustee, each on behalf of
their respective Paired Holding Trust and as instructed by the Administrative
Agent, shall adjust, on the Up-MACRO Subsequent Issuance date, the aggregate
amount of the Income Distribution Agreement and the notional amount of the
Settlement Contracts based on the Net Par Amount Change to the Up-MACRO
Aggregate Par Amount and the Down-MACRO Aggregate Par Amount, if any, occurring
due to the Up-MACRO Recapitalization Issuance.
(e) Subject to the requirements and limitations set forth
herein and in the Participants Agreement, the number of Up-MACRO Holding Shares
that the Up-MACRO Holding Trust may issue as part of an Up-MACRO
Recapitalization Issuance is unlimited.
Section 2.8 Up-MACRO Recapitalization Condition. An Up-MACRO
Recapitalization Issuance may be effected in connection with an Up-MACRO
Recapitalization Event only if, following such Up-MACRO Recapitalization
Issuance, the Up-MACRO Settlement Payment and the Down-MACRO Settlement Payment,
as applicable, that would be due in connection with a movement in the Applicable
Reference Price of Crude Oil of any specified magnitude measured from any one
point to any other point within the applicable Up-MACRO or Down-MACRO Price
Range would be equal to the Up-MACRO or Down-MACRO Settlement Payment that was
payable prior to such Up-MACRO Recapitalization Issuance in connection with a
movement in the Applicable Reference Price of Crude Oil of the same magnitude.
The foregoing limitation on the ability of the Trustee, acting on behalf of the
Up-MACRO Holding Trust, to effect an Up-MACRO Recapitalization Issuance is
referred to herein as the "Up-MACRO Recapitalization Condition."

(c) The Trustee agrees that upon a request by the Depositor it
will use its best efforts to obtain and maintain the listing of the Up-MACRO

Section 3.2 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Trustee.
[ ], in its capacity as initial Trustee under this Trust Agreement, hereby
makes, and any successor Trustee by its appointment hereunder shall make, on the
Closing Date (and on the date of any such appointment), the following

as may be applicable), duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Massachusetts (or with respect to any successor
Trustee, under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction of organization), and has
full trust power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under this Trust Agreement and, in all material respects, to own its
properties and conduct its business as such properties are presently owned and
as such business is presently conducted.
(b) Due Qualification. The Trustee is duly qualified to do
business and is in good standing as a foreign trust company (or is exempt from
such requirements), and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in
each jurisdiction in which failure to so qualify or to obtain such licenses and
approvals would have a material adverse effect on the interests of the Holders
of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares hereunder.
(c) Due Authorization. The execution, delivery, and
performance of this Trust Agreement has been duly authorized by the Trustee by
all necessary trust action on the part of the Trustee.
(d) Binding Obligation. This Trust Agreement constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Trustee, enforceable in accordance
with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or
hereafter in effect, affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in general
and except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity
(whether considered in a suit at law or in equity).
(e) No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Trust
Agreement by the Trustee, the performance of the transactions contemplated by
this Trust Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof applicable to the
Trustee, will not conflict with, violate, result in any breach of any of the
material terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse
of time or both) a material default under, any Requirement of Law applicable to
the Trustee or any indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or
other instrument to which the Trustee is a party or by which it or any of its
properties are bound.
(f) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations
pending or threatened against the Trustee before any court, regulatory body,
administrative agency or other tribunal or governmental instrumentality seeking
to prevent the issuance of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares or the consummation of
any of the transactions contemplated by this Trust Agreement, seeking any
determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of the Trustee, would
materially and adversely affect the performance by the Trustee of its
obligations under this Trust Agreement, or seeking any determination or ruling
that would materially and adversely affect the validity or enforceability of
this Trust Agreement.
(g) Compliance with Requirements of Law. The Trustee shall
duly satisfy all of its obligations and duties under this Trust Agreement and
shall maintain in effect all qualifications and will comply in all material
respects with all of the Requirements of Law in connection with its duties
hereunder, inasmuch as a failure to comply with such requirements would have a
material adverse effect on the interests of the Holders of the Up-MACRO Holding
Shares.
(h) Protection of the Rights of Holders of the Up-MACRO
Holding Shares. The Trustee shall take no action which, nor omit to take any
action the omission of which, would substantially impair the rights of Holders
of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares nor shall it, [except in the case where it is
instructed to do so by the Administrative Agent in connection with a revised
calculation pursuant to Section 4.1(e) hereof], revise amounts to be distributed
on the Up-MACRO Holding Shares.
(i) All Consents Required. All approvals, authorizations,
consents, orders or other actions of any Person or of any governmental body or
official required in connection with the execution and delivery by the Trustee
of this Trust Agreement, the performance by the Trustee of the transactions
contemplated by this Trust Agreement and the fulfillment by the Trustee of the
terms hereof, have been obtained; provided, however, that the Trustee makes no
representation or warranty regarding state securities or "blue sky" laws in
connection with the distribution of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares.
(j) Maintenance of Records and Books of Account. The Trustee
shall maintain and implement administrative and operating procedures (including

Up-MACRO Holding Trust in the event of the destruction of the originals
thereof), and keep and maintain all documents, books, computer records and other

computer records shall reflect all facts giving rise to such transactions, all
payments and credits with respect thereto, and, to the extent required, such
documents, books and computer records shall indicate the interests of the
Up-MACRO Holding Trust in such transactions.
Section 3.3 Acceptance of Appointment and Matters Relating to the
Administrative and Marketing Agent.
(a) [ ] agrees to act as Administrative Agent under this
Agreement and the Holders of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares by their acceptance of
their shares consent to [ ] acting as Administrative Agent under this Trust
Agreement and as administrative agent for the Down-MACRO Holding Trust under the
Down-MACRO Holding Trust Agreement.
(b) The Administrative Agent shall administer the Treasuries
and direct the Trustee (i) to invest the proceeds from such Treasuries and from
creations of new Up-MACRO Holding Shares and (ii) to settle payments of
Treasuries or cash or the combination of the two in redemptions of Up-MACRO
Holding Shares as provided herein, in accordance with the terms set forth in
this Trust Agreement and its customary and established procedures relating to

Up-MACRO Holding Trust shall pay to the Down-MACRO Holding Trust the Up-MACRO
Income Distribution Payment from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account.
If the Up-MACRO Holding Trust has no Up-MACRO Available Income on such
Distribution Date, then the Up-MACRO Holding Trust shall not be required to make
any payment under the Income Distribution Agreement on such Distribution Date or
on any subsequent date and no interest shall accrue on any such unpaid amounts.
(b) On each Distribution Date, any Down-MACRO Income
Distribution Payment received from the Down-MACRO Holding Trust under the Income
Distribution Agreement shall be deposited into the Distribution Account for
application in accordance with Section 5.2(a) on such Distribution Date.
Section 5.6 Payments under the Settlement Contracts.
(a) On the Final Scheduled Termination Date, an Early
Termination Date or any Redemption Date occurring on a Distribution Date, in
accordance with priority third of Section 5.2(a) and the terms of the Settlement
Contracts, the Trustee shall cause the Up-MACRO Holding Trust to make to the
Down-MACRO Holding Trust, the Up-MACRO Settlement Payment, if any, from amounts
on deposit in the Distribution Account. On any Redemption Date occurring on any
day other than a Distribution Date, the Trustee shall cause the Up-MACRO Holding
Trust to deliver Treasuries in accordance with Section 5.2(b) and the terms of
the Settlement Contracts to make an Up-MACRO Settlement Payment, if any, due
under the Settlement Contracts being settled on such Redemption Date.
(b) On the Final Scheduled Termination Date, an Early

accordance with Section 5.2(a) on such date.
ARTICLE VI
REDEMPTIONS OF THE UP-MACRO HOLDING SHARES
Section 6.1 Paired Optional Redemptions.
(a) On any Business Day, one or more Authorized Participants
may direct the redemption of Paired Holding Shares by delivering a Redemption
Order to the Trustee and the Administrative Agent (such redemption, a "Paired
Optional Redemption") and satisfying the conditions set forth in this Section
6.1. The Authorized Participants directing the Paired Optional Redemption must
be the registered holders of the Paired Holding Shares which are being tendered
for redemption on the records of the Depository. Alternatively, the Authorized
Participants directing the Paired Optional Redemption may be holders of Up-MACRO
and/or Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares and may deliver such shares to the Up-MACRO
Tradeable Trust and/or the Down MACRO Tradeable Trust to be exchanged for
Up-MACRO and/or Down-MACRO Holding Shares and redeemed in a Paired Optional
Redemption in accordance with the terms of the Participants Agreement.
(b) To effectuate a Paired Optional Redemption, the redeeming
Authorized Participants which are registered holders of Paired Holding Shares,
must place a Redemption Order on the applicable Redemption Date not later than
the earlier of (i) 2:00 p.m., New York City Time, and (ii) half an hour before
the end of trading in the futures contracts from which the Applicable Reference
Price of Crude Oil is derived.
On the next Business Day that follows the Redemption Date, the
redeeming Authorized Participant must transfer to the Trustee by 10:00 a.m., New
York City Time, the requisite number of Paired Holding Shares constituting at
least one MACRO Unit or integral multiples thereof, plus any applicable
Redemption Cash Component, and provide written or electronic evidence of such
deposit to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Participants
Agreement.
In the event that the redeeming Authorized Participants wish to present
Tradeable Shares for redemption, such Authorized Participants must transfer the
requisite number of Up-MACRO and Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares equivalent to one
or more MACRO Units of Paired Holding Shares plus any applicable Redemption Cash
Component, to the Trustee by 10:00 a.m. New York City Time, on the third
Business Day following the Redemption Date.
(c) The Trustee or the Administrative Agent may reject any
Redemption Order (i) if the Trustee or the Administrative Agent determines that
the Redemption Order is not in proper form, (ii) Paired Holding Shares in a
sufficient number to constitute one or more whole MACRO Units are not presented
for redemption, (iii) if the Depositor has determined and advised the Trustee
that such Redemption Order would have adverse tax consequences to the Up-MACRO
Holding Trust or the Holders of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares, (iv) the acceptance
or receipt of which would, in the opinion of counsel to the Depositor acceptable
to the Trustee, be unlawful, (v) if circumstances outside the control of the
Trustee, the Depositor or the Administrative Agent make it impractical or not
feasible to process a Paired Optional Redemption on the Redemption Date
designated in such Redemption Order or (vi) if the Down-MACRO Holding Trustee
has notified the Trustee that it has rejected the related Redemption Order
delivered under the Down-MACRO Holding Trust Agreement for one of the reasons
described in Section 6.1(c) of the Down-MACRO Holding Trust Agreement. None of
the Trustee, the Depositor or the Administrative Agent shall be liable to any
Person for rejecting a Redemption Order pursuant to this Section 6.1(c).
(d) If the date on which a Paired Optional Redemption that is
scheduled to occur is not a Distribution Date, the Administrative Agent shall
perform the following calculations and take the following actions with respect
to the Treasuries:
(i) identify each Type of Treasury on deposit in the
Up-MACRO Holding Trust on such Redemption Date;
(ii) calculate the Value of each Treasury and the
aggregate Value of the Treasuries representing each Type and, with
respect to each such Type, the product of the applicable Up-MACRO
Redemption Percentage and such aggregate Value (for each Type, the
"Redemption Percentage Value");
(iii) with respect to each Type, identify and
segregate Treasuries with an aggregate Value equal to the applicable
Redemption Percentage Value of the Treasuries of that Type and, of the
Treasuries so segregated, (A) select Treasuries with a Value equal to
the Up-MACRO Settlement Payment, if any such payment is required to be
made by the Up-MACRO Holding Trust on the Redemption Date pursuant to
priority third of Section 5.2(a), (B) allocate the remaining Treasuries
to be delivered as a Final Distribution to the Authorized Participants
directing the Paired Optional Redemption pursuant to priority third of
Section 5.2(a) and (C) in the event that the remaining Treasuries to be
delivered as a Final Distribution exceed the amount due to the
Authorized Participants directing the Paired Optional Redemption,
calculate the amount to be paid by the Authorized Participants to the
Up-MACRO Holding Trust to compensate the trust for the excess Value of
the Treasuries being delivered to the Authorized Participants as a
Final Distribution (such amount, the "Redemption Cash Component"); and
(iv) deliver written instructions to the Trustee
identifying the Treasuries to be used to effect the Paired Optional
Redemption and, of those, the Treasuries to be used for the making of
the Up-MACRO Settlement Payment, if any, the Treasuries to be used to
make the Final Distribution to the redeeming Holders of the Up-MACRO
Holding Shares and the Redemption Cash Component to be paid by the
Authorized Participants, if any.
Section 6.2 Mandatory Redemptions.
(a) On any Distribution Date following the occurrence of a
Down-MACRO Recapitalization Event and a related Down-MACRO Recapitalization
Issuance, the Trustee, upon receipt of a notice from the Depositor pursuant to
Section [ ] of the Down-MACRO Trust Agreement, shall redeem the applicable
Up-MACRO Proportionate Mandatory Redemption Percentage of the Up-MACRO Holding
Shares by making a Final Distribution to the Holders of such Up-MACRO Holding
Shares pursuant to priority third of Section 5.2(a) (such redemption, an
"Up-MACRO Proportional Mandatory Redemption").
(b) On the next Distribution Date following the occurrence of
an Up-MACRO Recapitalization Event followed by an Up-MACRO Recapitalization
Issuance, the Trustee shall redeem all Up-MACRO Holding Shares that are
Outstanding on such Distribution Date (other than the Up-MACRO Holding Shares
that are being issued as part of the Up-MACRO Recapitalization Issuance) for a
redemption price equal to $0 (such redemption, an "Up-MACRO Recapitalization
Redemption"). The Up-MACRO Holding Trust shall have no further obligations with
respect to the redeemed Up-MACRO Holding Shares which shall cease to be
Outstanding.
Section 6.3 Redemptions on Early Termination Date and Final Scheduled
Termination Date. On any Distribution Date that is an Early Termination Date, as
determined pursuant to Section 11.2, or the Final Scheduled Termination Date,
the Trustee shall redeem all of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares that are Outstanding
on such Distribution Date using the funds that are on deposit in the
Distribution Account, as specified in priority third of Section 5.2(a).
Section 6.4 Settlement of the Settlement Contracts. On any Redemption
Date on which a Paired Optional Redemption occurs, the Trustee, acting together
with the Down-MACRO Holding Trustee on behalf of their respective Paired Holding
Trusts, shall settle one Settlement Contract for each MACRO Unit of Paired
Holding Shares being redeemed. On any Redemption Date on which an Up-MACRO
Proportional Mandatory Redemption occurs, the Trustee shall settle Settlement
Contracts with an aggregate amount equal to twice the Aggregate Par Amount of
Up-MACRO Holding Shares being redeemed in such redemption. No Settlement
Contracts will be settled in connection with an Up-MACRO Recapitalization
Redemption.
Section 6.5 Settlement.
(a) By 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on the Final Scheduled
Termination Date, Early Termination Date or applicable Redemption Date, if the
Trustee's account at the Depository has been credited with the Paired Holding
Shares being tendered for redemption, the Administrative Agent has received the
electronic notice of such tender and the Trustee has received the transaction
fee and the Redemption Cash Component, if applicable, payable by the redeeming
Authorized Participants in accordance with Section 2.6(e), the Trustee shall
deliver:
(i) if the relevant Redemption Date is not a
Distribution Date, a Final Distribution consisting of the Treasuries
and/or cash in accordance with the instructions from the Administrative
Agent and in the manner specified in Section 6.1(d) by effecting the
necessary transfers of Treasuries and/or cash to the Participant
Custodian Account of the redeeming Authorized Participant; or
(ii) if the relevant date of redemption is the Final
Scheduled Termination Date, an Early Termination Date or a Redemption
Date that is scheduled to occur on a Distribution Date, a Final
Distribution of cash in the amount specified in priority third of
Section 5.2(a) by effecting the necessary transfers of cash to the
Participant Custodian Account of the redeeming Authorized Participant
not later than the related Distribution Payment Date.
(b) The Trustee or the Administrative Agent may, in its
discretion, and will when so directed by the Depositor, suspend the right of
redemption, or postpone a scheduled Redemption Date:
(i) for any period during which the AMEX is closed
other than customary weekend or holiday closings, or trading is
suspended or restricted;
(ii) for any period during which an emergency exists
as a result of which delivery, disposal or evaluation of the Treasuries
is not reasonably practicable;
(iii) if such redemption would cause the Up-MACRO or
Down-MACRO Investment Amount to equal less than 10 million dollars; or
(iv) for such other period as the Depositor, the
Trustee or the Administrative Agent determines to be necessary for the
protection of Beneficial Owners.
None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Administrative Agent will be
liable to any Person for any loss or damages that may result from any such
suspension or postponement.
(c) The Up-MACRO Holding Shares redeemed on the Final
Scheduled Termination Date, an Early Termination Date or any Redemption Date
shall be cancelled by the Trustee, on behalf of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust, in
accordance with the Depository's procedures.
(d) In the event that, with regard to the redemption
procedures as set forth in this Article VI, the provisions of this Trust
Agreement and the Participants Agreement contradict in any way, the provisions
of the Participants Agreement will prevail.
ARTICLE VII
CAPITAL ACCOUNTS OF HOLDERS
AND OPERATION THEREOF; TAX ALLOCATIONS
Section 7.1 Capital Contributions.
(a) Each Holder has made an initial Capital Contribution (as
defined below) to the Up-MACRO Holding Trust in cash equal to the amount paid
for its Up-MACRO Holding Shares. Except as provided for herein, a Holder shall
not be required to make any further Capital Contributions to the Up-MACRO
Holding Trust.
(b) Except as expressly set forth herein, no Holder shall be
entitled to any return of capital, interest or compensation by reason of its
Capital Contributions.
Section 7.2 Capital Accounts; Allocations. There shall be established
in respect of each Holder a separate capital account in the books and records of
the Up-MACRO Holding Trust in respect of the Holder's Capital Contributions to
the Up-MACRO Holding Trust (each, a "Capital Account"), to which the following
provisions shall apply:
(a) The Capital Account of each Holder initially shall be
equal to the cash contributed in exchange for its Up-MACRO Holding Shares (each,
a "Capital Contribution") and, at the end of each day shall be:
(i) increased by (A) an amount equal to any amounts
paid with respect to Up-MACRO Holding Shares issued as part of a Paired
Subsequent Issuance or an Up-MACRO Recapitalization Issuance by such
Holder during such day; and (B) such Holder's interest in the Net
Profit (and items thereof) of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust during such
day as allocated under Section 7.2(b); and
(ii) decreased by (A) any distributions made in cash
by the Up-MACRO Holding Trust to such Holder on such day; (B) the fair
market value of any property other than cash distributed by the
Up-MACRO Holding Trust to such Holder on such day; and (C) such
Holder's interest in the Net Loss (and items thereof) of the Up-MACRO
Holding Trust for such day as allocated under Section 7.2(b).
(b) Except pursuant to the Regulatory Allocations set forth in
Section 4.3, or as otherwise provided in this Trust Agreement, Net Profit and
Net Loss (and items of each) of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust shall be
provisionally allocated as of the end of each day among the Holders in a manner
such that the Capital Account of each Holder immediately after giving effect to
such allocation, is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to the
amount equal to the distributions that would be made to such Holder during such
fiscal year pursuant to Article V if (i) the Up-MACRO Holding Trust were
dissolved and terminated; (ii) its affairs were wound up and each Trust Asset
was sold for cash equal to its book value; (iii) all Up-MACRO Holding Trust
liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability
to the book value of the assets securing such liability); and (iv) the net
assets of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust were distributed in accordance with Article
V to the Holders immediately after giving effect to such allocation. The
Depositor may, in its discretion, make such other assumptions (whether or not
consistent with the above assumptions) as it deems necessary or appropriate in
order to effectuate the intended economic arrangement of the Holders. Except as
otherwise provided elsewhere in this Trust Agreement, if upon the dissolution
and termination of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust pursuant to Section 14.1 and after
all other allocations provided for in this Section 7.2 have been tentatively
made as if this Section 7.2(b) were not in this Trust Agreement, a distribution
to the Holders under Section 14.1 would be different from a distribution to the
Holders under Article V then Net Profit (and items thereof) and Net Loss (and
items thereof) for the fiscal year in which the Up-MACRO Holding Trust dissolves
and terminates pursuant to Section 14.1 shall be allocated among the Holders in
a manner such that the Capital Account of each Holder, immediately after giving
effect to such allocation, is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to
the amount of the distribution that would be made to such Holder during such
last fiscal year pursuant to Article V. The Depositor may, in its discretion,
apply the principles of this Section 7.2(b) to any fiscal year preceding the
fiscal year in which the Up-MACRO Holding Trust dissolves and terminates
(including through application of Section 761(e) of the Code) if delaying
application of the principles of this Section 7.2(b) would likely result in
distributions under Section 14.1 that are materially different from
distributions under Article V in the fiscal year in which the Up-MACRO Holding
Trust dissolves and terminates.
(c) Before any distribution of property (other than cash) from
the Up-MACRO Holding Trust to a Holder (including without limitation, any
non-cash asset which shall be deemed distributed immediately prior to the
dissolution and winding up of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust), the Capital Accounts
of all Holders of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust shall be adjusted and, upon the
occurrence of one or more of the other events described in Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Regulations, may be adjusted to reflect the manner
in which any unrealized income, gain, loss or deduction inherent in such
property (that has not been previously reflected in the Holders' Capital
Accounts) would be allocated among the Holders if there were a taxable
disposition of such property by the Up-MACRO Holding Trust on the date of
distribution, in accordance with Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and (g) of the
Regulations.
(d) In determining the amount of any liability for purposes of
this Section 7.2, there shall be taken into account Section 752 of the Code and
any other applicable provisions of the Code and any Regulations promulgated
thereunder.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust
Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 7.2 regarding the
maintenance of Capital Accounts shall be construed so as to comply with the
provisions of the Code and any Regulations thereunder. The Depositor in its sole
and absolute discretion and whose determination shall be binding on the Holders
is hereby authorized to interpret and to modify the foregoing provisions to the
extent necessary to comply with the Code and Regulations.
Section 7.3 Regulatory and Related Allocations. Notwithstanding any
other provision in this Article VII to the contrary, the following special
allocations shall be made to the Capital Accounts of the Holder in the following
order:
(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in
Partnership Minimum Gain during any taxable year, each Holder shall be specially
allocated items of Up-MACRO Holding Trust income and gain for such taxable year
(and, if necessary, subsequent taxable years) in an amount equal to the greater
of (A) the portion of such Holder's share of the net decrease in such
Partnership Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section
1.704-2(d)(1), or (B) if such Holder would otherwise have an Adjusted Capital
Account Deficit attributable solely to such Holder's Capital Account at the end
of such taxable year, an amount sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital
Account Deficit. Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in
proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to the Holders
pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance
with Regulations Section 1.704-2. This Section 7.3(a) is intended to comply with
the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations
and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. To the extent permitted by such
section of the Regulations and for purposes of this Section 7.3(a) only, each
Holder's Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other
allocations with respect to such taxable year.
(b) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise
provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2, if there is a net decrease in Partner
Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt during
any taxable year, each Holder shall be specially allocated items of Up-MACRO
Holding Trust income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary,
subsequent taxable years) in an amount equal to such Holder's share, if any, of
the net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such
Holder's Partner Nonrecourse Debt, as determined in accordance with Regulations
Section 1.704-2. Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in
proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Holder
pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance
with Regulations Section 1.704-2. This Section 7.3(b) is intended to comply with
the minimum gain chargeback requirements in such Regulations and shall be
interpreted consistently therewith.
(c) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Holder
unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described
in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) with respect to such
Holder's Capital Account, items of Up-MACRO Holding Trust income and gain shall
be specially allocated to each such Holder in an amount and manner sufficient to
eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital
Account Deficit of such Holder as quickly as possible; provided that an
allocation pursuant to this Section 7.3(c) shall be made only if and to the
extent that such Holder would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all
other allocations provided for in this Trust Agreement have been tentatively
made as if this Section 7.3(c) were not in this Trust Agreement. This Section
7.3(c) is intended to constitute a "qualified income offset" within the meaning
of Regulations Section 1.704-1 and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Nonrecourse Deductions for any
taxable year or other period shall be allocated to the Capital Accounts of the
Holders in accordance with their respective Capital Accounts.
(e) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse
Deductions for any taxable year (or portion thereof) of the Up-MACRO Holding
Trust shall be allocated to the Holder who bears the economic risk of loss with
respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse
Deductions are attributable, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2.
(f) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Holder has an
Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Up-MACRO Holding Trust income and
gain shall be specially allocated to the Capital Account of such Holder in an
amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such Holder's Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this
Section 7.3(f) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Holder's
Capital Account would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other
allocations provided for in this Article VII (other than this Section 7.3(f))
have been tentatively made as if this Section 7.3(f) were not in this Trust
Agreement.
(g) Loss Allocation Limitation. No allocation of Net Loss (or
items thereof) shall be made to any Holder to the extent that such allocation
would create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit with respect to
such Holder.
(h) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in this
Section 7.3 (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain
requirements of the Regulations under Section 704 of the Code. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Trust Agreement (other than the Regulatory
Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in
allocating other Up-MACRO Holding Trust items of income, gain, loss, deduction
and expense among the Holders so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of
such allocations of other Up-MACRO Holding Trust items and the Regulatory
Allocations shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to
the Holders pursuant to this Trust Agreement if the Regulatory Allocations had
not been made.
Section 7.4 Transfer of or Change in Up-MACRO Holding Shares. The
Depositor may use any convention or combination of conventions that it believes
is reasonable for U.S. federal income tax purposes regarding the allocation of
items of income, gain, loss, deduction and expense with respect to transferred
Up-MACRO Holding Shares and redeemed Up-MACRO Holding Shares. A transferee who
takes all or part of a Holder's Up-MACRO Holding Shares shall succeed to the
Capital Account maintained in respect of the transferor Holder to the extent of
such transfer.
Section 7.5 Tax Allocations. As of the end of each day, income,
expense, deduction, gain or loss of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust, all as
determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, shall be allocated among the
Holders pursuant to the following subsections solely for U.S. federal and other
applicable tax purposes (both U.S. and non-U.S. taxes) as provided below. Such
allocations shall be pro rata from short-term capital gain or loss and long-term
capital gain or loss and operating income or loss recognized by the Up-MACRO
Holding Trust. Such allocations shall be made, to the extent required, in a
manner consistent with the principles of Section 7.2(b).
(a) Except as provided in the second and third sentences of
Section 7.5(b)(ii), items of ordinary income (such as interest income),
deduction and expense (such as advisory fees and brokerage fees) shall be
allocated in a manner consistent with the economic allocations described in
Section 7.2.
(b) Items of recognized capital gain or loss from the Up-MACRO
Holding Trust's trading activities shall be allocated as follows:
(i) There shall be established a tax basis account
with respect to each Holder's shares in the Up-MACRO Holding Trust. The
initial balance of each tax basis account shall be the amount
contributed to the capital of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust for such
shares.
(1) Each tax basis account shall be
increased by the amount of (I) any additional contributions
made with respect to such Holder's shares in the Up-MACRO
Holding Trust and (II) any taxable income or gain allocated to
such Holder pursuant to Section 7.5(a) above and this Section
7.5(b);
(2) Each tax basis account shall be
decreased by the amount of (I) taxable expense, deduction or
loss allocated to such Holder pursuant to Section 7.5(a) above
and this Section 7.5(b) and (II) any distribution received by
such Holder with respect to its Up-MACRO Holding Shares other
than as a consequence of a partial redemption of Up-MACRO
Holding Shares; and
(3) When any Up-MACRO Holding Trust Share is
redeemed, the tax basis account attributable to such redeemed
Up-MACRO Holding Share shall be eliminated.
(ii) Items of recognized capital gain shall be
allocated first to each Holder who has fully or partially redeemed its
Up-MACRO Holding Shares on such day up to any excess of (A) the amount
received upon such redemption over (B) the tax basis account
attributable to the redeemed Up-MACRO Holding Shares in the Up-MACRO
Holding Trust. If the aggregate amount of recognized capital gain to be
so allocated to all Holders who have redeemed Up-MACRO Holding Shares
on such day is less than the excess of all such amounts received upon
redemption over all such tax basis accounts, then items of ordinary
income shall be allocated first to all such Holders up to any excess of
all such amounts. If the aggregate amount of recognized capital gain
and ordinary income to be so allocated to all Holders who have redeemed
Up-MACRO Holding Shares on such day is less than the excess of all such
amounts received upon redemption over all such tax basis accounts, the
entire amount of capital gain and ordinary income for such day shall be
allocated among all such Holders in the ratio that each such Holder's
allocable share of such excess bears to the aggregate excess of all
such Holders who redeemed any of their Up-MACRO Holding Shares on such
day.
(iii) Items of recognized capital gain remaining
after the allocations in subsection (ii) above shall be allocated among
all Holders whose Capital Accounts are in excess of their tax basis
accounts (after the adjustments in subsection (ii)) in the ratio that
each such Holder's allocable share of such excess bears to all such
Holders' excesses. If the aggregate amount of recognized capital gain
to be so allocated is greater than the aggregate excess of all such
Holders' Capital Accounts over all such tax basis accounts, the excess
amount of gain shall be allocated among all Holders in the ratio that
each Holder's Capital Account bears to all Holders' Capital Accounts.
(iv) Items of recognized capital loss shall be
allocated first to each Holder who has redeemed any of its Up-MACRO
Holding Shares on such day up to any excess of (A) the tax basis
account attributable to the redeemed Up-MACRO Holding Share over (B)
the amount received upon such redemption. If the aggregate amount of
recognized capital loss to be so allocated to all Holders who have
redeemed any Up-MACRO Holding Shares on such day is less than the
aggregate excess of all such tax basis accounts over all such amounts
received upon redemption, the entire amount of loss for such day shall
be allocated among all such Holders in the ratio that each such
Holder's excess bears to the aggregate excess of all such Holders who
redeemed any of their Up-MACRO Holding Shares on such day.
(v) Items of recognized capital loss remaining after
the allocations in subsection (iv) above shall be allocated among the
Holders whose tax basis accounts are in excess of their Capital
Accounts (after the adjustments in subsection (iv)) in the ratio that
each such Holder's allocable share of such excess bears to all such
Holders' excesses. If the aggregate amount of loss to be so allocated
is greater than the aggregate excess of all such tax basis accounts
over all such Holders' Capital Accounts, the excess amount of
recognized capital loss shall be allocated among all Holders in the
ratio that each Holder's Capital Account bears to all Holders' Capital
Accounts.
(vi) The allocations of profit and loss to the tax
basis accounts of Holders in respect of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares
shall not exceed the allocations permitted under Subchapter K of the
Code as determined by the Depositor in its sole and absolute
discretion, whose determination shall be binding on the Holders.
(c) The allocation of income, gain, loss, deduction and
expense for U.S. federal income tax purposes set forth herein is intended to
allocate such items so as to eliminate, to the extent possible, any disparity
between a Holder's Capital Account and its tax basis account, consistent with
principles set forth in Section 704(c) of the Code.
Section 7.6 Determination of Certain Matters. Notwithstanding anything
express or implied to the contrary in this Trust Agreement, all matters
concerning the computation of Capital Accounts and tax basis accounts, the
allocation of Net Profit (and items thereof) and Net Loss (and items thereof),
the allocation of items of income, gain, loss, deduction and expense for tax
purposes, the adoption or modification of any accounting procedures, any
adjustments to the books and records of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust and all
matters related to liquidation and dissolution of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust
shall be determined by the Depositor, in its sole and absolute discretion. Such
determination shall be final and conclusive as to all Holders and be in
accordance with the Code and Regulations. Notwithstanding anything expressed or
implied in this Trust Agreement, in the event the Depositor, shall determine, in
its sole and absolute discretion, that it is prudent to modify the manner in
which the Capital Accounts and tax basis accounts, or any debits or credits
thereto, are computed in order to effectuate the intended economic sharing
arrangement of the Holders, the Depositor may make such modification.
Allocations of Net Profit and Net Loss to a Holder's Capital Account shall be
made for each day as soon as practicable thereafter.
Section 7.7 No Deficit Makeup. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, upon the liquidation of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust, no Holder shall be
required to make any contribution to the Up-MACRO Holding Trust in respect of
any deficit in such Holder's Capital Account.
Section 7.8 U.S. Partnership Tax Treatment. It is the intent of the
Holders and the Depositor that the Up-MACRO Holding Trust be governed by the
applicable provisions of Subchapter K, of Chapter 1, of the Code. The Depositor
may file such forms and make such elections as the Depositor deems appropriate
to effect such intent.
Section 7.9 Definitions. For the purposes of this Trust Agreement,
unless the context otherwise requires:
(a) "Adjusted Capital Account Deficit" shall mean, with
respect to any Holder, the deficit balance, if any, in such Holder's Capital
Account as of the end of the relevant taxable year, after giving effect to the
following adjustments:
(i) credit to such Capital Account any amounts which
such Holder is obligated to restore or is deemed to be obligated to
restore pursuant to Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c),
1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5); and
(ii) debit to such Capital Account the items
described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6).
The foregoing definition of Adjusted Capital Account Deficit is intended to
comply with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall
be interpreted consistently therewith.
(b) "Capital Account" shall have the meaning specified in
Section 7.2.
(c) "Capital Contribution" shall have the meaning set forth in
Section 7.2(a).

similar market or investment risks associated with ownership of the Up-MACRO
Holding Shares) arising out of or based on the arrangement created by this Trust
Agreement or the actions of the Depositor taken pursuant hereto (to the extent

Agreement insofar as such loss, liability or expense arises from any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
written statement provided to the Depositor by any of the Calculation Agent, the
Administrative Agent and the Trustee. Such indemnity shall include payment from
the Up-MACRO Holding Trust of the costs and expenses incurred by such Depositor

Trust, the Down-MACRO Holding Trustee, the holders of the Down-MACRO Holding

the Administrative Agent may at any time delegate any duties hereunder to any
Person who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with this Trust
Agreement. Any such delegations shall not relieve the Administrative Agent of
its liability and responsibility with respect to such duties and shall not
constitute a resignation, and the Administrative Agent will remain jointly and
severally liable with such Person for any amounts which would otherwise be
payable pursuant to this Article X as if the Administrative Agent had performed
such duty; provided, however, that in the case of any significant delegation to
a Person other than an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, (1) at least
thirty (30) days' prior written notice shall be given to the Trustee and the
Depositor of such delegation to any entity that is not an Affiliate of the
Administrative Agent and (2) the prior written consent of the Depositor must be

for the benefit of the Holders of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares, such title to the
Trust Assets or any part thereof and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 13.11, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Trustee may consider necessary or desirable, for the purpose of meeting any
legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Assets may
at the time be located; provided, however, that such co-trustee or co-trustees,
or separate trustee or separate trustees, shall also assume the rights, duties
and obligations of the Trustee under each of the Down-MACRO Holding Trust
Agreement, the Up-MACRO Tradeable Trust Agreement and the Down-MACRO Tradeable
Trust Agreement; further provided, however, that the Trustee shall exercise due
care in the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee. No co-trustee or

upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such co-trustee or
separate trustee jointly (it being understood that such co-trustee or
separate trustee shall not be authorized to act unless the Trustee
joins in such act) except to the extent that under any laws of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed
the Trustee is incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts,
in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including
the holding of title to the Trust Assets or any portion thereof in any
such jurisdiction) shall be exercised or performed singly by such
co-trustee or separate trustee, but solely at the direction of the
Trustee;
(ii) no co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder
shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any
other trustee hereunder; and
(iii) the Trustee may at any time accept the
resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee.
(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee
shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then co-trustees and separate
trustees as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing
any co-trustee or separate trustee shall refer to this Trust Agreement and the
conditions of this Article XIII. Upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred by
its instrument of appointment, each co-trustee and separate trustee shall be
vested with the estates or property specified in such instrument, either jointly
with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all of
the provisions of this Trust Agreement, specifically including every provision
of this Trust Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of
or affording protection to the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed

extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

reasonable satisfaction that such person is a Beneficial Owner upon reasonable
advance notice at all reasonable times during the usual business hours of the
Trustee. The Trustee shall keep proper record of the creation of the MACRO Units

(b) The Trustee shall provide the Depositor such financial and
other information regarding the operation of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust as may

For all such taxes and charges and for any expenses, including counsel's fees,
which the Trustee may sustain or incur with respect to such taxes or charges,
the Trustee shall be reimbursed and indemnified out of the assets of the
Up-MACRO Holding Trust and the payment of such amounts shall be secured by a
lien on the Up-MACRO Holding Trust. Any payments by the Trustee shall be subject
to withholding regulations then in force with respect to the Untied States
taxes. This paragraph shall survive notwithstanding any termination of this
Trust Agreement and the Up-MACRO Holding Trust or the resignation or removal of
the Trustee.

of which such judgment has been obtained.

otherwise, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement
contained in this Trust Agreement, in aid of the execution of any power granted
in this Trust Agreement or for the enforcement of any other legal, equitable or
other remedy as the Trustee (or the Depositor, in the case of a Trustee
Termination Event), being advised by counsel, shall deem most effectual to
protect and enforce any of the rights of the Holders of the Up-MACRO Holding
Shares.

Administrative Agent in the performance of their obligations hereunder and its
consequences, and the occurrence of any Termination Trigger and its
consequences, except the failure to make any distributions required to be made
to Holders of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares or to make any required deposits of
any amounts to be so distributed. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such
default shall cease to exist, and any default arising therefrom shall be deemed

of the UCC, the Depositor shall give the Trustee notice of such change and shall
file such financing statements or amendments as may be necessary to continue the

and the proceeds thereof.
(c) The Depositor shall give the Trustee prompt notice of any
relocation of its principal executive offices or of any office from which it
performs its duties hereunder or keeps records concerning this transaction. If,
as a result of any such relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC require
the filing of any new financing statement or of any amendment to any previously
filed financing or continuation statement, the Depositor shall file such
financing statements or amendments as may be necessary to perfect or to continue
the perfection of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust's security interest in the Trust
Assets and the proceeds thereof. The Depositor shall at all times maintain its
