UNLESS
THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY
TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION (THE "DEPOSITORY"),

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

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.
Β
So
long
as the Up MacroShares are eligible for book-entry settlement with the
Depository, (i) no Beneficial Owner of Up MacroShares will be entitled to
receive a physical certificate evidencing those shares, (ii) the interest
of a
Beneficial Owner in the Up MacroShares 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
of Up MacroShares 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 the Up MacroShares.
Β
As
provided in the Depository Agreement, upon the settlement date for any creation,
transfer or redemption of the Up MacroShares, the Depository will credit
or
debit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the amount of
Up
MacroShares 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, as instructed by the Administrative Agent and
the
applicable Holder of Up MacroShares. The Beneficial Owners of the Up MacroShares
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
MacroShares a written confirmation relating to their purchase of Up MacroShares.
Β
22
Β
Upon
the
settlement date for any creation, transfer, or redemption or exchange of
Up
MacroShares, the Trustee shall make a notation on Schedule
A
attached
to the Global Certificate indicating the resulting Net Par Amount Increase
or
Net Par Amount Decrease in the Aggregate Par Amount of Outstanding Up
MacroShares represented by such Global Certificate. Upon the settlement date
for
a transfer of a Global Certificate to a new Registered Owner as described
in
clause
(e)(ii)
of this
Section
2.5,
the
Trustee shall cancel such Global Certificate and issue a new Global Certificate
in the name of such transferee Registered Owner.
Β
The
Depository may discontinue providing its services with respect to the Up
MacroShares 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. In such event, the Trustee, the Administrative Agent and
the
Depositor shall seek to find a replacement for the Depository to perform
the
functions thereof on terms acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the
Depositor. If no such replacement can be found or is willing to assume the
duties of the Depository, then a Termination Trigger will occur pursuant
to
Section
11.1
of this
Trust Agreement.
Β
(c)Β Notices
to Beneficial Owners.
As
described above, the Trustee will recognize the Depository or its nominee
as the
owner of all Up MacroShares for all purposes except as expressly set forth
in
this Trust Agreement. Conveyance of all notices, statements and other
communications required to be delivered to Beneficial Owners will be effected
as
follows: The Administrative Agent shall inquire of each such DTC Participant
as
to the number of Beneficial Owners holding Up MacroShares, directly or
indirectly, through such DTC Participant. The Administrative Agent 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 Up Trust shall reimburse
each such DTC Participant for the expenses attendant to such transmittal,
subject to applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
Β
(d)Β Distributions
on Book-Entry Certificates.
All
distributions on the Up MacroShares shall be made to the Depository or its
nominee, Cede & Co., as the registered owner of all Up MacroShares. The
Trustee and the Depositor expect that the Depository or its nominee, upon
receipt of any distributions made in respect of the Up MacroShares, shall
credit
immediately the DTC Participants' accounts with payments in amounts
proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the Up MacroShares
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. None of the Trustee, the Depositor
or the Administrative Agent shall 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 the Up MacroShares,
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 MacroShares.Β
Β
23
Β
(e)Β Registration
of Transfer; Restrictions on Transfer.
Β
(i)Β The
Trustee shall cause to be kept at its Corporate Trust Office 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 MacroShares 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 the responsibilities of the Transfer
Agent
and Registrar set forth in 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.
Β
(ii)Β Transfers
of the Global Certificates shall be limited to transfers of such Global
Certificates in whole, but not in part, to nominees of the Depository or
to a
successor of the Depository or such successor's nominee. When a Global
Certificate 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 Global Certificates in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees. Each Global Certificate 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 Registered Owner 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 MacroShares, 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.
Β
(f)Β Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Shares.
If (a)
any mutilated Global 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 Global 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 Global 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
Global
Certificate, a new Global Certificate of like tenor and aggregate beneficial
interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Global Certificate under
this Section
2.5(f),
the
Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar may require the payment by the
Registered Owner 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 Global Certificate issued pursuant to
this
Section
2.5(f)
shall
constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Up Trust,
as
if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Global
Certificate shall be found at any time.

an
issuance, a "Paired
Issuance")
following the receipt of, and in accordance with, a Creation Order delivered
by
an Authorized Participant and forwarded to the Trustee by the Administrative
Agent. Only Authorized Participants may direct Paired Issuances. Up MacroShares
will be issued at the Per Share Underlying Value of the existing Up MacroShares
on the Issuance Order Date on which the related Creation Order was delivered;
provided
that in
the case of any Creation Order placed on a Distribution Date or on the Business
Day succeeding a Distribution Date, the Authorized Participant submitting
the
Creation Order will be required to deliver, in addition to cash in the amount
of
the aggregate per share Underlying Value of the Up MacroShares being created,
an
amount equal to the Up-MACRO and Down Earned Income Accruals for each
intervening day between the Issuance Order Date and the Issuance Date,
calculated on the basis of the Applicable Reference Value of Medical Inflation
on the Issuance Order Date.Β

Order Date")
by
4:00 p.m. New York City Time. Any Creation Order received by the Administrative
Agent after the time specified in the foregoing sentence will automatically

sufficient funds with the Trustee, (iii) if the Depositor determines, based
upon
an opinion of counsel, that such Creation Order would have adverse tax or
securities law consequences for either of the Paired Trusts, the Holders
of the
Paired Shares, (iv) the acceptance or fulfillment of which would, in the
opinion
of counsel to the Depositor acceptable to the Trustee, be unlawful, (v) if
the
Down Trustee notifies the Trustee that the Creation Order for additional
Down
MacroShares has been or will be rejected by it or by the Administrative Agent
on
behalf of the Down Trust, (vi) if circumstances outside the control of the
Trustee, the Depositor or the Administrative Agent make it impractical or
not
feasible to process the Creation Order on the Issuance Order Date or on the
Issuance Date, or (vii) if there are not sufficient Up-MACRO Paired Shares
registered pursuant to the Securities Act to fulfill such Creation Order.

Decrease or the Net Par Amount Increase, as applicable, in the Aggregate
Par
Amount of the Up MacroShares that are Outstanding after giving effect to
such
Paired Optional Redemption Order and/or Paired Issuance Order. On the Final
Scheduled Termination Date or an Early Termination Date, after a Final
Distribution has been made on the Up MacroShares, all of such Up MacroShares
shall be cancelled by the Trustee, on behalf of the Up Trust, in accordance
with
the procedures of the Depository. On any Redemption Date on which a Net Par

Contributions to the Up Trust (each, a "Capital
Account"),
to
which the following provisions shall apply:
48
Β
(a)Β The
Capital Account of each Holder initially shall be equal to the cash contributed
in exchange for its Up MacroShares (each, a "Capital
Contribution")
and,
at the end of each day shall be:
Β
(i)Β increased
by (A) an amount equal to any amounts paid with respect
to
Up MacroShares issued as part of a Paired Issuance by such Holder during
such
day; and (B) such Holder's interest in the Net Profit (and items thereof)
of the
Up Trust during such day as allocated under Section
7.2(b);
and
Β
(ii)Β decreased
by (A) any distributions made in cash by the Up Trust to such Holder on such
day; (B) the fair market value of any property other than cash distributed
by
the Up Trust to such Holder on such day; and (C) such Holder's interest in
the
Net Loss (and items thereof) of the Up Trust for such day as allocated under
Section
7.2(b).
Β
(b)Β Except
pursuant to the Regulatory Allocations set forth in Section
7.3,
or as
otherwise provided in this Trust Agreement, Net Profit and Net Loss (and
items
of each) of the Up 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
5
if (i)
the Up 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
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 Trust were distributed in accordance with Article
5
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 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
5
then Net
Profit (and items thereof) and Net Loss (and items thereof) for the fiscal
year
in which the Up 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
5.
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 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
5
in the
fiscal year in which the Up Trust dissolves and terminates.
Β
(c)Β Before
any distribution of property (other than cash) from the Up 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
Trust), the Capital Accounts of all Holders of the Up 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 Trust on the date of distribution,

(a)Β 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 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

of
recognized capital gain or loss from the Up Trust's trading activities shall

allocated as follows:
Β
(i)Β There

amount
contributed to the capital of the Up Trust for such shares.
Β

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 Trust and
(II)
any taxable income or gain allocated to such Holder pursuant to Section

and (II)
any distribution received by such Holder with respect to its Up MacroShares
other than as a consequence of a partial redemption of Up MacroShares;

Β
(3)Β When
any
Up MacroShares is redeemed, the tax basis account attributable to such redeemed
Up MacroShares shall be eliminated.
Β
(ii)Β Items
of
recognized capital gain shall be allocated first to each Holder who has fully
or
partially redeemed its Up MacroShares 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 MacroShares in the Up Trust.
If the aggregate amount of recognized capital gain to be so allocated to
all
Holders who have redeemed Up MacroShares 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
MacroShares 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 MacroShares
on
such day.
Β
52
Β
(iii)Β 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

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.
Β
(iv)Β Items
of
recognized capital loss shall be allocated first to each Holder who has redeemed
any of its Up MacroShares on such day up to any excess
of (A)
the tax basis account attributable to the redeemed Up MacroShares 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
MacroShares 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 MacroShares on such day.
Β
(v)Β 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.
Β
(vi)Β The
allocations of profit and loss to the tax basis accounts of Holders in respect
of the Up MacroShares 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.
Β

Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent will be required
to pay
to the Up Trust, for each such Prohibited Transaction within thirty
day of
such notification,

|
if
the Prohibited Transaction was an AP Acquisition, the difference
between
(x) the Best Yield which the Up Trust would have obtained had such
transaction occurred, less the Range and (y) the yield actually
obtained
in the Prohibited Transaction; and
|
Β
Β |
(ii)
|
if
the Prohibited Transaction was an AP In-Kind Redemption, an amount
