Dear Sir/Madam:

1. Subscription for Units. By submitting this Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney and by payment of the purchase price for units of beneficial interest (“Units”) in the applicable fund (a “Fund”) of Xxxxxxxxxx™ Raw Materials (U.S.) Trust (the “Trust”), I hereby subscribe for the number of Units in the applicable Fund set forth on the cover page to this Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney. The purchase price for such Units is $10.00 per Unit during the Initial Offering Period and then-current net asset value per Unit of the applicable Fund(s) as per the Valuation Point on the Subscription Date during the Continuous Offering Period. The terms of the offering of the Units are described in the Prospectus. Xxxxxxxxxx Raw Materials Management, LLC (the “Managing Owner”) or the Administrator may, in its sole and absolute discretion, accept or reject any subscription in whole or in part. In this Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney, references to “I” or “me” refer to each person or entity listed as a Subscriber on Item 6 on the cover page of this Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney.

2. Representation and Warranties of Subscriber. I hereby represent and warrant to the Trust, the Funds and the Managing Owner as follows:

(1)		If I am not acting on behalf of a Benefit Plan Investor, I have either (i) a net worth (exclusive of home, home furnishings, and automobiles) of at least $250,000 or (ii) a net worth (similarly calculated) of at least $70,000 and an annual gross income of at least $70,000 and not more than 10% of my net worth is invested in any Fund or in all Funds combined. If I am acting on behalf of a Benefit Plan Investor that is an XXX or a Xxxxx Plan which covers no common law employees or a Plan that is not subject to ERISA, each Participant meets the net worth and gross income requirement in the preceding sentence, and not more than 10% of its assets is invested in any Fund or in all Funds combined. If I am acting on behalf of a Plan subject to ERISA, the assets of the Plan are at least $250,000 and its investment in any Fund or in all Funds combined does not exceed 10% of the assets of such Plan at the time of investment.

(2)		All of the information that I have provided in connection with this Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney is true, correct, and complete as of the date of execution of this Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney, and if there should be any material change in such information prior to my admission in the applicable Fund(s) as a Limited Owner, I will immediately furnish such revised or corrected information to the Administrator (on behalf of the Managing Owner). The address set forth on the cover page of this Subscription Agreement is my true and correct address and I have no present intention of becoming a resident of any other state or country. I will furnish the Administrator or Managing Owner, as applicable, with such other documents as either of them may request to evaluate this subscription.

(3)		If I am an individual, I am over 21 years old and am legally competent and am permitted by applicable law to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney.

(4)		To my best knowledge, I am independent of the Trust, the Trustee, the Managing Owner and my Selling Agent and the decision to invest in Units was made entirely independently of such parties, and was not part of a coordinated or joint investment effort with one or more other investors.

(5)		At least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of execution of this Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney, I have received a Prospectus for the Trust - including the appendices and supplements, if any — which constitutes its Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) Disclosure Document, the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement and summary financial information relating to the applicable Fund current within 60 calendar days — dated within nine months of the date on which I have subscribed to purchase Units. If trading for the applicable Fund has commenced, I have received a copy of its most recent monthly report as required by the CFTC.

(6)		I either (i) am not required to be registered with the CFTC or to be a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”); or (ii) if required to be so registered, I am duly registered with the CFTC and am a member in good standing of the NFA.

(7)		Unless (8) or (9) below is applicable, I am purchasing Units for my own account and not as trustee, custodian or nominee for another.

(8)		If I am subscribing as a custodian for a minor, either (i) the subscription is a gift I have made to that minor and is not made with the minor’s funds, in which case the representations as to net worth and annual income apply only to me as custodian; or (ii) if the subscription is not a gift, the representations as to net worth and annual income, as set forth in (1) above, (or in a special supplement to the Prospectus), apply only to that minor.

(9)		If I am subscribing on behalf of a corporation, limited liability corporation, partnership or limited partnership, I have full power and authority to purchase Units and enter into and be bound by the Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney on behalf of

		the entity for which I am purchasing Units, and such entity has full right and power to purchase such Units and enter into and be bound by the Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney and become a Limited Owner and be bound by the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement.

(10)		If I am subscribing for a joint or community property account, I have full power and authority to purchase Units and enter into and be bound by the Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney on behalf of the joint or community property account.

(11)		If I am a trustee or custodian of a Benefit Plan Investor (or am otherwise an entity which holds plan assets), none of the Trustee, Managing Owner or any Selling Agent, or any of their affiliates either: (i) has investment discretion with respect to the investment of the assets of such entity being used to purchase Units; (ii) has authority or responsibility to give or regularly gives investment advice with respect to such Units for a fee and pursuant to an agreement or understanding that such advice will serve as a primary basis for investment decisions with respect to such Units and that such advice will be based on the particular investment needs of the trust or custodian; or (iii) is an employer maintaining or contributing to the Trust. The purchase, holding and disposition of Units will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

(12)		I am not, and no beneficial owner of me is, (i) an individual, entity or organization identified on any U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control “watch list” and do not have any affiliation of any kind with such an individual, entity or organization; (ii) a foreign shell bank; and (iii) a person or entity resident in or whose subscription funds are transferred from or through a jurisdiction identified as non-cooperative by the U.S. Financial Action Task Force.

(13)		I am not, and no beneficial owner of me is, a senior foreign political figure,¹ an immediate family member of a senior foreign political figure², or a close associate of a senior foreign political figure³.

(14)		The funds to be invested in the Funds and the Trust were not derived from activities that may contravene U.S. or non-U.S. anti-money laundering laws or regulations.

(15)		I am a not, and will not be, a resident of Canada (for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) while I hold any Units and; I am not, and will not be, “affiliated” with the Administrator if such Administrator is a corporation or trust resident in Canada, or a Canadian partnership, all within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

(16)		I am acquiring Units for which I have subscribed for my own account, as principal, for investment and not with a view to the resale or distribution of all or a portion of such Units or, if I am an intermediary subscribing for Units as a record owner on behalf of one or more investors or beneficial owners, I agree that the representations made in items (12) – (15) herein are made by me on behalf of and with respect to both me and all such investors or beneficial owners.

(17)		I acknowledge that, if, subsequent to my investment in the Trust, the Trust or the Managing Owner reasonably believes that I am or become a prohibited investor as described in (12) – (15) herein or have otherwise breached my representations and covenants hereunder, the Trust or the Managing Owner may be obligated to (i) freeze my investment, either by prohibiting additional investments, declining any redemption requests and/or segregating the assets constituting the investment in accordance with applicable regulations, or by undertaking such other comparable action, or (ii) immediately redeem my investment. In any such case, I shall have no claim against the applicable Fund or the Managing Owner for any form of damages as a result of any of the aforementioned actions.

(18)		This Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney will be, duly executed and delivered by me and constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of me, the entity for which I am subscribing on behalf of, or the beneficiary of a Benefit Plan Investor for which I am a trustee or custodian (whichever may be applicable), enforceable against the applicable individual or entity in accordance with its terms.

(19)		I acknowledge and understand that my Units can be mandatorily redeemed by the Managing Owner, as set forth in the Prospectus and the Trust Agreement, and that my ability to redeem, exchange and/or transfer Units is subject to restrictions as set forth in the Prospectus and the Trust Agreement.

In my capacity as a Subscriber for Units in a Fund that are the subject of this Agreement (a “Contracting Fund”), I hereby agree and consent (the “Consent”) to look solely to the assets (the “Contracting Fund Assets”) of the relevant Contracting Fund and to the Managing Owner and its assets (to the extent of the Units owned by the Managing Owner in such Fund) for payment in respect of any claim against or obligation of such Fund and not against the assets of the Trust generally or of any other Fund. The Contracting Fund Assets of a particular Fund include only those funds and other assets that are paid, held or distributed to the Trust on account of and for the benefit of such Contracting Fund, including, without limitation, funds delivered to the Trust for the purchase of Units in such Fund. In furtherance of the Consent, I agree, with respect to each Contracting Fund, that (i) any debts, liabilities, obligations, indebtedness, expenses and claims of any nature and of all kinds and descriptions (collectively, “Claims”) of such Contracting Fund incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing and (ii) any Units, beneficial interests or equity ownership of any kind (collectively, “Units”) of such Contracting Fund, arising from, related to or in connection with the Trust and its assets and the Contracting Fund and the Contracting Fund Assets, shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) (i) except as set forth below, my Claims and Units, if any, (collectively, the “Subordinated Claims and Units”) incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing, arising from, related to or in connection with a Contracting Fund, the Contracting Fund Assets, and assets of the Trust shall be expressly subordinate and junior in right of payment to any and all other claims against and Units in the Trust and any Contracting Fund thereof, and any of their respective assets, which may arise as a matter of law or pursuant to any contract; provided, however, that my bona fide Claims (if any) against and Units (if any) in the applicable Contracting Fund shall be pari passu and equal in right of repayment and distribution with all other bone fide Claims against the Contracting Fund, (ii) I will not take, demand or receive from any Fund or the Trust or any of their respective assets (other than the Contracting Fund or the Contracting Fund Assets) any payment for the Subordinated Claims and Units except in accordance with this subsection;

(b) my Claims and Units with respect to the Contracting Fund shall only be asserted and enforceable against the Contracting Fund, the Contracting Fund Assets and the Managing Owner and its assets; and such Claims and Units shall not be asserted or enforceable for any reason whatsoever against any other Fund, the Trust generally or any of their respective assets;

(c) if my Claims against the Contracting Fund or the Trust are secured in whole or in part, I hereby waive (under section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 1111(b))) any right to have any deficiency Claims (which deficiency Claims may arise in the event such security is inadequate to satisfy such Claims) treated as unsecured Claims against the Trust or any Fund (other than the Contracting Fund), as the case may be;

(d) in furtherance of the foregoing, if and to the extent that I receive monies in connection with the Subordinated Claims and Units from a Fund or the Trust (or their respective assets), other than the Contracting Fund, the Contracting Fund Assets and the Managing Owner and its assets and except as permitted above, I shall be deemed to hold such monies in trust and shall promptly remit such monies to the Fund or the Trust that paid such amounts for distribution by the Fund or the Trust in accordance with the terms hereof; and

(e) the foregoing Consent shall apply at all times notwithstanding that the Claims are satisfied, the Units are sold, transferred, redeemed or in any way disposed of and notwithstanding that the agreements in respect of such Claims and Units are terminated, rescinded or canceled.

The representations and statements set forth herein may be asserted in the defense of the Trust, the Funds, the Managing Owner, or others in any subsequent litigation or proceeding.

5. Power of Attorney. By submitting this Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney, and subscribing for Units, I hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint the Managing Owner and its successors and assigns, as my true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution, in my name, place and xxxxx, to (i) file, prosecute, defend, settle or compromise litigation, claims or arbitrations on behalf of the Trust and each Fund in which I invest, and (ii) execute, acknowledge, file and publish any Trust and Fund documents which may be considered necessary or desirable by the Managing Owner, including, without limitation, the execution of such certificates or other instruments which the Managing Owner deems appropriate or necessary in its sole discretion to qualify or continue the Trust as a statutory trust, any instrument which may be required to be filed by the Trust or a Fund under the Laws of any state or by any governmental agency, or which the Managing Owner deems advisable or necessary in its sole discretion to file and the Trust Agreement and any documents which may be required or appropriate to effect an amendment to the Trust Agreement approved under the terms of the Trust Agreement or a continuation of the Trust, the admission by me of the Power of Attorney as a Limited Owner or of others as additional or Substituted Limited Owners, or the termination of the Trust, provided in each case such continuation, admission or termination is in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement.

The Power of Attorney granted hereby is a special, irrevocable Power of Attorney coupled with an interest, and shall survive, and shall not be affected by, my subsequent death, incapacity, disability, liquidation, termination or dissolution or any delivery by me of an assignment of the whole or any portion of my Units except under the circumstance referenced in Article XIV of the Trust Agreement. The limitations on the Power of Attorney listed in Article XIV of the Trust Agreement shall apply to this Power of Attorney.

6. Governing Law. I hereby acknowledge and agree that this Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney shall be governed by and be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws.
