The Trustee may accept a certified copy of a resolution of the board of directors or other governing body of any corporate party as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by such body and that the same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the method of the determination of which is not specifically prescribed herein, the Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by the president or any vice president or by the treasurer or other authorized officers of the relevant party, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon.

(b) In the exercise or administration of the Master Fund hereunder and in the performance of its duties and obligations under this Trust Agreement, the Trustee, at the expense of the Managing Owner or an Affiliate of the Managing Owner (including the Master Fund) may act directly or through its agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees pursuant to agreements entered into with any of them, and the Trustee shall not be liable for the conduct or misconduct of such agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees if such agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees shall have been selected by the Trustee with reasonable care and (ii) may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled professionals to be selected with reasonable care by it. The Trustee shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the opinion or advice of any such counsel, accountant or other such Persons.

2.8 Payments to the Trustee. Any amounts paid to the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be deemed not to be a part of the Trust Estate immediately after such payment. Any amounts owing to the Trustee under this Trust Agreement shall constitute a claim against the Trust Estate.

ARTICLE III

CREATIONS AND ISSUANCE OF CREATION BASKETS

3.1 General. The Managing Owner shall have the power and authority, without Limited Owner approval, to issue Shares from time to time as it deems necessary or desirable. The number of Shares authorized shall be unlimited, and the Units so authorized may be represented in part by fractional Shares, calculated to four decimal places. From time-to-time, the Managing Owner may divide or combine the Shares into a greater or lesser number without thereby changing the proportionate beneficial interests. The Managing Owner may issue Shares for such consideration and on such terms as it may determine (or for no consideration if pursuant to a Share dividend or split-up), all without action or approval of the Limited Owner. All Shares when so issued on the terms determined by the Managing Owner shall be fully paid and non-assessable. The Shares initially shall be divided into two classes: General Shares and Limited Shares. Every Shareholder, by virtue of having purchased or otherwise an acquired Share, shall be deemed to have expressly consented and agreed to be bound by the terms of this Trust Agreement.

3.2 Offer of Limited Shares; Procedures for Creation and Issuance of Creation Baskets.

(a) General. The following procedures, as supplemented by the more detailed procedures agreed from time to time between the Managing Owner and the Limited Owner, will govern the Trust with respect to the creation and issuance of Creation Baskets. Subject to the limitations upon and requirements for issuance of Creation Baskets stated herein and in such procedures, the number of Creation Baskets which may be issued by the Master Fund is unlimited.

(i) On any Business Day, the Limited Owner may submit to the Managing Owner a purchase order and subscription agreement to subscribe for and agree to purchase one or more Creation Baskets (such request by the Limited Owner, a “Purchase Order Subscription Agreement”). Purchase Order Subscription Agreements must be received by the Managing Owner from the Limited Owner no later than the Order Cut-Off Time on a Business Day (the “Purchase Order Subscription Date”). The Managing Owner will process Purchase Order Subscription Agreements only from the Limited Owner.

(ii) Any Purchase Order is subject to rejection by the Managing Owner pursuant to Section 3.2(c).

(iii) After accepting a Purchase Order Subscription Agreement from the Limited Owner, the Managing Owner will issue and deliver Creation Baskets to fill the Limited Owner’s Purchase Order Subscription Agreement as of noon New York time on the Business Day immediately following the Purchase Order Subscription Date, but only if by such time the Managing Owner has received (A) for its own account, the Transaction Fee, and (B) for the account of the Master Fund the Creation Basket Capital Contribution due from the Limited Owner in respect of such Purchase Order Subscription Agreement.

(b) Issuance of Creation Basket. Upon issuing a Creation Basket pursuant to a Purchase Order Subscription Agreement, the Managing Owner will issue the Creation Basket to the Limited Owner.

(c) Rejection. The Managing Owner shall have the absolute right, but shall have no obligation, to reject any Purchase Order Subscription Agreement or Creation Basket Capital Contribution: (i) determined by the Managing Owner not to be in proper form; (ii) that the Managing Owner has determined would have adverse tax consequences to the Master Fund or to the Limited Owner; (iii) the acceptance or receipt of which would, in the opinion of counsel to the Managing Owner, be unlawful; or (iv) if circumstances outside the control of the Managing Owner make it for all practical purposes not feasible to process creations of Creation Baskets. The Managing Owner shall not be liable to any person by reason of the rejection of any Purchase Order Subscription Agreement or Creation Basket Capital Contribution.

(d) Baskets may not be created during the Initial Offering Period.

3.3 Assets of the Master Fund. All consideration received by the Master Fund for the issue or sale of Creation Baskets together with all of the Trust Estate in which such consideration is invested or reinvested, all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever form the same may be, shall irrevocably belong to the Master Fund for all purposes, subject only to the rights of creditors of the Master Fund and except as may otherwise be required by applicable tax laws, and shall be so recorded upon the books of account of the Master Fund.

3.4 Liabilities. The Trust Estate shall be charged with the liabilities of the Master Fund, and all expenses, costs, charges and reserves attributable to the Master Fund. The Managing Owner shall have full discretion, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, to determine which items shall be treated as income and which items as capital, and each such determination and allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders.

3.5 Distributions. Distributions on Shares may be paid with such frequency as the Managing Owner may determine, which may be daily or otherwise, to the Shareholders from such of the income and capital gains, accrued or realized, as the Managing Owner may determine, after providing for actual and accrued liabilities of the Master Fund. All distributions on Shares shall be distributed pro rata to the Shareholders

in proportion to the total outstanding Shares held by such Shareholders at the date and time of record established for the payment of such distribution.

3.6 Voting Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, on each matter submitted to a vote of the Shareholders, each Shareholder shall be entitled to a proportionate vote based upon the product of the Net Asset Value per Share multiplied by the number of Shares, or fraction thereof, standing in its name on the books of the Master Fund.

3.7 Equality. Except as provided herein, all Shares shall represent an equal proportionate beneficial interest in the assets of the Master Fund subject to the liabilities of the Master Fund, and each Share shall be equal to each other Share. The Managing Owner may from time to time divide or combine the Shares into a greater or lesser number of Shares without thereby changing the proportionate beneficial interest in the assets of the Master Fund or in any way affecting the rights of Shareholders.

ARTICLE IV

4.3 Obligations of the Managing Owner. In addition to the obligations expressly provided by the Delaware Trust Statute or this Trust Agreement, the Managing Owner shall:

No material change related to brokerage fees shall be made except upon sixty (60) Business Days’ prior notice to the Limited Owner, which notice shall include a description of the Limited Owner’s voting rights as set forth in Section 8.2 hereof and a description of the Limited Owner’s redemption rights as set forth in Section 7.1 hereof.

The Managing Owner shall at all times act with integrity and good faith and exercise due diligence in all activities relating to the conduct of the business of the Master Fund and in resolving conflicts of interest.

4.5 Liability of Covered Persons.

Subject to the foregoing, neither the Managing Owner nor any other Covered Person shall be personally liable for the return or repayment of all or any portion of the capital or profits of the Limited Owner or assignee thereof, it being expressly agreed that any such return of capital or profits made pursuant to this Trust Agreement shall be made solely from the assets of the Master Fund without any rights of contribution from the Managing Owner or any other Covered Person.

4.6 Fiduciary Duty.

(a) To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Managing Owner has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Master Fund, the Shareholders or to any other Person, the Managing Owner acting under this Trust Agreement shall not be liable to the Master Fund, the Shareholders or to any other Person for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement subject to the standard of care in Section 4.5 herein. The provisions of this Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Managing Owner otherwise existing at law or in equity are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Managing Owner. Any material changes in the Master Fund’s basic investment policies or structure shall occur only upon the written approval or affirmative vote of Limited Shares equal to at least a majority (over 50%) of the Net Asset Value of the Master Fund (excluding Shares held by the Managing Owner and its Affiliates) of the Master Fund pursuant to Section 11.1(a) below.

(b) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein:

(i) whenever a conflict of interest exists or arises between the Managing Owner or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Master Fund or any Shareholder or any other Person, on the other hand; or

(ii) whenever this Trust Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or therein provides that the Managing Owner shall act in a manner that is, or provides terms that are, fair and reasonable to the Master Fund, any Shareholder or any other Person,

the Managing Owner shall resolve such conflict of interest, take such action or provide such terms, considering in each case the relative interest of each party (including its own interest) to such conflict, agreement, transaction or situation and the benefits and burdens relating to such interests, any customary or accepted industry practices, and any applicable generally accepted accounting practices or principles. In the absence of bad faith by the Managing Owner, the resolution, action or terms so made, taken or provided by the Managing Owner shall not

constitute a breach of this Trust Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or of any duty or obligation of the Managing Owner at law or in equity or otherwise.

(c) The Managing Owner and any Affiliate of the Managing Owner may engage in or possess an interest in other profit-seeking or business ventures of any nature or description, independently or with others, whether or not such ventures are competitive with the Master Fund and the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any analogous doctrine, shall not apply to the Managing Owner. If the Managing Owner acquires knowledge of a potential transaction, agreement, arrangement or other matter that may be an opportunity for the Master Fund, it shall have no duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to the Master Fund, and the Managing Owner shall not be liable to the Master Fund or to the Shareholders for breach of any fiduciary or other duty by reason of the fact that the Managing Owner pursues or acquires for, or directs such opportunity to another Person or does not communicate such opportunity or information to the Master Fund. Neither the Master Fund nor any Shareholder shall have any rights or obligations by virtue of this Trust Agreement or the Master Fund relationship created hereby in or to such independent ventures or the income or profits or losses derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such ventures, even if competitive with the activities of the Master Fund, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. Except to the extent expressly provided herein, the Managing Owner may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Master Fund, the Shareholders or any Affiliate of the Master Fund or the Shareholders.

4.7 Indemnification of the Managing Owner.

(a) The Managing Owner shall be indemnified by the Master Fund against any losses, judgments, liabilities, expenses and amounts paid in settlement of any claims sustained by it in connection with its activities for the Master Fund, provided that (i) the Managing Owner was acting on behalf of or performing services for the Master Fund and has determined, in good faith, that such course of conduct was in the best interests of the Master Fund and such liability or loss was not the result of gross negligence, willful misconduct, or a breach of this Trust Agreement on the part of the Managing Owner and (ii) any such indemnification will only be recoverable from the Trust Estate. All rights to indemnification permitted herein and payment of associated expenses shall not be affected by the dissolution or other cessation to exist of the Managing Owner, or the withdrawal, adjudication of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Managing Owner, or the filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy under Title 11 of the U.S. Code by or against the Managing Owner. The source of payments made in respect of indemnification under this Trust Agreement shall be from assets of the Master Fund.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.6(a) above, the Managing Owner and any Person acting as broker-dealer for the Master Fund shall not be indemnified for any losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of U.S. federal or state securities laws unless (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee and the court approves the indemnification of such expenses (including, without limitation, litigation costs), (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee and the court approves the indemnification of such expenses (including, without limitation, litigation costs), or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and related costs should be made.

(c) The Master Fund shall not incur the cost of that portion of any insurance which insures any party against any liability, the indemnification of which is herein prohibited.

(d) Expenses incurred in defending a threatened or pending civil, administrative or criminal action, suit or proceeding against the Managing Owner shall be paid by the Master Fund in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding: if (i) the legal action relates to the

performance of duties or services by the Managing Owner on behalf of the Master Fund; (ii) the legal action is initiated by a third party who is not the Limited Owner or the legal action is initiated by the Limited Owner and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advance; and (iii) the Managing Owner undertakes to repay the advanced funds with interest to the Master Fund in cases in which it is not entitled to indemnification under this Section 4.7.

(e) The term “Managing Owner” as used only in this Section 4.7 shall include, in addition to the Managing Owner, any other Covered Person performing services on behalf of the Master Fund and acting within the scope of the Managing Owner’s authority as set forth in this Trust Agreement.

(f) In the event the Master Fund is made a party to any claim, dispute, demand or litigation or otherwise incurs any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense as a result of or in connection with the Limited Owner’s (or assignee’s) obligations or liabilities unrelated to Master Fund business, the Limited Owner (or assignees cumulatively) shall indemnify, defend, hold harmless, and reimburse the Master Fund for all such loss, liability, damage, cost and expense incurred, including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees.

4.8 Expenses and Limitations Thereon. (a) Organizational and Operating Expenses.

The Managing Owner shall, in its capacity as a Shareholder, be entitled to receive allocations and distributions pursuant to the provisions of this Trust Agreement.

4.11 Voluntary Withdrawal of the Managing Owner. The Managing Owner may withdraw voluntarily as the Managing Owner of the Master Fund only upon one hundred and twenty (120) days’ prior written notice to the Limited Owner and the Trustee. If the withdrawing Managing Owner is the last remaining Managing Owner, the Limited Owner may appoint, effective as of a date on or prior to the withdrawal, a successor Managing Owner who shall carry on the business of the Master Fund. In the event of its removal or withdrawal, the Managing Owner shall be entitled to a redemption of its General Shares at the Net Asset Value thereof on the next Redemption Date following the date of removal or withdrawal.

ARTICLE V

TRANSFERS OF SHARES

5.1 Transfer of Managing Owner’s General Shares.

(a) Upon an Event of Withdrawal (as defined in Section 13.1), the Managing Owner’s Shares shall be purchased by the Master Fund for a purchase price in cash equal to the Net Asset Value thereof. The Managing Owner will not cease to be a Managing Owner of the Master Fund merely upon the occurrence of its making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, filing a petition or answer seeking for itself any reorganization, arrangement,

composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any statute, law or regulation, filing an answer or other pleading admitting or failing to contest material allegations of a petition filed against it in any proceeding of this nature or seeking, consenting to or acquiescing in the appointment of a Trustee, receiver or liquidator for itself or of all or any substantial part of its properties.

(b) To the full extent permitted by law, and on sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Limited Owner of its right to vote thereon, if the transaction is other than with an Affiliated entity, nothing in this Trust Agreement shall be deemed to prevent the merger of the Managing Owner with another corporation or other entity, the reorganization of the Managing Owner into or with any other corporation or other entity, the transfer of all the capital stock of the Managing Owner or the assumption of the Shares, rights, duties and liabilities of the Managing Owner by, in the case of a merger, reorganization or consolidation, the surviving corporation or other entity by operation of law or the transfer of the Managing Owner’s Shares to an Affiliate of the Managing Owner. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the transactions referenced in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a voluntary withdrawal for purposes of Section 4.11 or an Event of Withdrawal or assignment of Shares for purposes of Sections 5.2(a) or 5.2(c).

(c) Upon assignment of all of its Shares, the Managing Owner shall not cease to be a Managing Owner of the Master Fund, or to have the power to exercise any rights or powers as a Managing Owner, or to have liability for the obligations of the Master Fund under Section 1.7 hereof, until an additional Managing Owner, who shall carry on the business of the Master Fund, has been admitted to the Master Fund.

5.2 Transfer of Limited Shares.

(a) The Managing Owner reserves the right to permit or deny, in its sole discretion, any written requests from the Limited Owner with respect to transferring Limited Shares. Permitted assignees of the Limited Owner shall be admitted as a substitute Limited Owner pursuant to this Article V only upon the Managing Owner’s prior written consent.

(i) A substituted Limited Owner is a permitted assignee that has been admitted as a Limited Owner with all the rights and powers of a Limited Owner hereunder. If all of the conditions provided in Section 5.2(b) below are satisfied, then the Managing Owner shall admit permitted assignees into the Master Fund as a Limited Owner by making an entry on the books and records of the Master Fund reflecting that such permitted assignees have been admitted as a Limited Owner, and such permitted assignees will be deemed a Limited Owner at such time as such admission is reflected on the books and records of the Master Fund.

(ii) A permitted assignee is a Person to whom a Limited Owner has assigned its Limited Shares with the consent of the Managing Owner, as provided below in Section 5.2(d) but who has not become a substituted Limited Owner. A permitted assignee shall have no right to vote, to obtain any information on or account of the Master Fund’s transactions or to inspect the Master Fund’s books, but shall only be entitled to receive the share of the profits, or the return of the Capital Contribution, to which its assignor would otherwise be entitled as set forth in Section 5.2(d) below to the extent of the Limited Shares assigned. The Limited Owner agrees that any permitted assignee may become a substituted Limited Owner without the further act or consent of the Limited Owner, regardless of whether its permitted assignee becomes a substituted Limited Owner.

(iii) A Limited Owner shall bear all extraordinary costs (including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees), if any, related to any transfer, assignment, pledge or encumbrance of its Limited Shares.

(b) No permitted assignee of the whole or any portion of a Limited Owner’s Limited Shares shall have the right to become a substituted Limited Owner in place of its assignor unless all of the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) The written consent of the Managing Owner to such substitution shall be obtained, the granting or denial of which shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing Owner, subject to the provisions of Section 5.2(d)(i).

(ii) A duly executed and acknowledged written instrument of assignment has been filed with the Master Fund setting forth the intention of the assignor that the permitted assignee become a substituted Limited Owner in its place;

(iii) The assignor and permitted assignee execute and acknowledge and/or deliver such other instruments as the Managing Owner may deem necessary or desirable to effect such admission, including the execution, acknowledgment and delivery to the Managing Owner, as a counterpart to this Trust Agreement, of a Power of Attorney in the form set forth in the Subscription Agreement; and

(iv) Upon the request of the Managing Owner, an opinion of the Master Fund’s independent legal counsel is obtained to the effect that (A) the assignment will not jeopardize the Master Fund’s tax classification as a partnership and (B) the assignment does not violate this Trust Agreement or the Delaware Trust Statute.

(c) Any Person admitted as a Shareholder shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Trust Agreement as if an original signatory hereto.

(d) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2(e) below and to the provisions of this Section generally, a Limited Owner, subject to the Managing Owner’s consent, may have the right to assign all or any of its Limited Shares to any assignee by a written assignment (on a form acceptable to the Managing Owner) the terms of which are not in contravention of any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement, which assignment has been executed by the assignor and received by the Master Fund and recorded on the books thereof. An assignee of a Limited Share (or any interest therein) will not be recognized as a permitted assignee without the consent of the Managing Owner, which consent the Managing Owner may withhold in its sole discretion. The Managing Owner shall incur no liability to any investor or prospective investor for any action or inaction by the Managing Owner in connection with the foregoing, provided it acted in good faith.

(i) Except as specifically provided in this Trust Agreement, a permitted assignee of a Share shall be entitled to receive distributions attributable to the Share acquired by reason of such assignment from and after the effective date of the assignment of such Share to the assignee. The “effective date” of an assignment of a Limited Share shall be determined by the Managing Owner in its sole discretion.

(ii) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Master Fund and the Managing Owner shall be entitled to treat the permitted assignor of such Share as the absolute owner thereof in all respects, and shall incur no liability for distributions made in good faith to the assignor, until such time as the written assignment has been received by, and recorded on the books of, the Master Fund.

(iii) No assignment or transfer of a Share may be made which would result in the Limited Owner and permitted assignees of the Limited Owner owning, directly or indirectly, individually or in the aggregate, five percent (5%) or more of the stock of the Managing Owner

or any related person as defined in Sections 267(b) and 707(b)(l) of the Code. If any such assignment or transfer would otherwise be made by bequest, inheritance of operation of law, the Share transferred shall be deemed sold by the transferor to the Master Fund immediately prior to such transfer.

(e) The Managing Owner, in its sole discretion, may cause the Master Fund to make, refrain from making, or once having made, to revoke, the election referred to in Section 754 of the Code, and any similar election provided by state or local law, or any similar provision enacted in lieu thereof.

(f) The Managing Owner, in its sole discretion, may cause the Master Fund to make, refrain from making, or once having made, to revoke the election by a qualified fund under Code Section 988(c)(l)(E)(iii)(V), and any similar election provided by state or local law, or any similar provision enacted in lieu thereof.

(g) The Limited Owner hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Master Fund and each Shareholder against any and all losses, damages, liabilities or expense (including, without limitation, tax liabilities or loss of tax benefits) arising, directly or indirectly, as a result of any transfer or purported transfer by the Limited Owner in violation of any provision contained in this Section 5.2.

(h) A transferee of a Master Fund interest shall succeed to a pro rata portion of the Capital Account of the transferor relating to the Master Fund interest so transferred; provided, however, that if the transfer is found to cause a termination of the partnership under Section 708(b)(l)(B) of the Code, the Master Fund’s properties shall be deemed to have been distributed in liquidation of the Master Fund to the Shareholders (including any transferee) pursuant to Article VIII (after adjusting the balance of the Capital Accounts of Shareholders as provided in Section 6.1) and recontributed by such Shareholders in reconstitution of the Master Fund. Any such deemed distribution shall be treated as an actual distribution for purposes of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI

DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS

6.1 Capital Accounts. The Master Fund shall maintain for each Shareholder (which includes beneficial owners of Master Fund interests where information regarding the identity of such owner has been furnished to the Master Fund in accordance with Section 6031(c) or the Code or any other method acceptable to the Managing Owner in its sole discretion) owning a Master Fund interest a separate Capital Account with respect to such Master Fund interest in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). The initial balance of each Shareholder’s book capital account shall be the amount of its initial Capital Contribution. Such Capital Account shall be (i) increased by the amount of all Capital Contributions made with respect to the Master Fund interest and all items of Master Fund income and gain computed and allocated to the Master Fund Shares in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) decreased by the amount of cash distributions made with respect to such Master Fund interest and all items of Master Fund deduction and loss computed and allocated in accordance with this Agreement.

(a) Consistent with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), upon an issuance of additional Shares for cash, the Capital Accounts of all Shareholders shall, immediately prior to such issuances, be adjusted (consistent with the provisions hereof) upwards or downwards to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to each Master Fund property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Loss had been recognized upon an actual sale of each such property,

immediately prior to such issuance, and had been allocated to the Shareholders at such time pursuant to Section 6.3.

(b) In accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), immediately prior to the distribution of cash in redemption of all or a portion of a Shareholder’s Shares, the Capital Accounts of all Shareholders shall, immediately prior to any such distribution, be adjusted (consistent with the provisions hereof) upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to each Master Fund property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized upon an actual sale of each property, immediately prior to such distribution, and had been allocated to the Shareholders at such time pursuant to Section 6.3.

6.2 Monthly Closing of Books. Within 45 days after the end of each calendar month or such shorter period as required for the final closing of the books for the taxable year, the Master Fund shall conduct an interim closing of the books as of the end of the last day of that calendar month. On the basis of the closing of the books for each calendar month, the Master Fund shall determine the amount of Profit and Loss attributable to that calendar month. Profits and Losses shall be determined in accordance with the accounting methods followed by the Master Fund for federal income tax purposes.

6.3 Monthly Allocations. All allocations to Shareholders of items included within the Master Fund’s Profits and Losses attributable to each calendar month shall be allocated solely among the Shareholders recognized as shareholders as of the close of the last trading day of the preceding month, as follows:

(a) For purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts and in determining the rights of the Shareholders among themselves, except as otherwise provided in this Article VI, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among Shareholders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(b) Any item of loss or deduction otherwise allocated to the Managing Owner pursuant to Section 6.3(a) which is in excess of such Managing Owner’s positive Adjusted Capital Account balance (following adjustment to reflect the allocation of all other items for such period) shall instead be allocated to the other Shareholders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests to the extent such item of loss or deduction exceeds such Managing Owner’s Adjusted Capital Account balance; provided that the allocation of any such item to such other Shareholders shall only be made hereunder to the extent the allocation would not result in or increase a negative balance in the Adjusted Capital Account of such other Shareholder. If such an allocation occurs, items of income or gain that would otherwise be allocated to the Managing Owner equal to the amount of such allocated loss or deduction will be allocated to the other Shareholders in accordance with their Percentage Interests as quickly as possible.

(c) If any Shareholder unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-4(b)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Master Fund income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Shareholder in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate a deficit in its Adjusted Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible. This Section 6.3(c) is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, upon or prior to the issuance of additional Shares, the Managing Owner shall have the sole and complete discretion, without the approval of any other Shareholder, to amend any provision of this Article VI in any manner as is necessary, appropriate or advisable to comply with any current or future provisions of the Code or the Treasury Regulations or to implement the terms and conditions of any Shares.

6.4 Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the tax basis of any Master Fund asset pursuant to Section 743(b) or 743(c) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Shareholders in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such regulation. For purposes of computing the adjustments under Section 743(b) of the Code, the Master Fund is authorized (but not required) to adopt a convention whereby the price paid by a transferee of Shares will be deemed to be the lowest quoted closing price of the Shares on the Exchange during the calendar month in which such transfer is deemed to occur pursuant to Section 5.2 without regard to the actual price paid by the transferee.

6.5 Allocation of Profit and Loss for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes.

(a) Except as otherwise provided, each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Master Fund shall be allocated among the Shareholders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(b) In an attempt to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities attributable to Adjusted Property, items of income, gain, and loss will be allocated for federal income tax purposes among the Shareholders as follows:

(i) Items attributable to an Adjusted Property will be allocated among the Shareholders in a manner consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code to take into account the Unrealized Gain or Loss attributable to the Adjusted Property and the allocations thereof pursuant to Section 6.3(a) and (b).

(ii) Any items of income, gain, loss or deduction otherwise allocable under this Section 6.5 shall be subject to allocation by the Managing Owner in a manner designed to eliminate, to the maximum extent possible, Book-Tax Disparities in an Adjusted Property otherwise resulting from the application of the ceiling limitation under Section 704(c) principles to the allocations provided under this Section.

(iii) Subject to this Section 6.5(b), any items of income, gain, loss or deduction otherwise allocable to the Managing Owner pursuant to Section 6.3(a) that constitutes the tax corollary of an item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction that has been allocated to the other Shareholders pursuant to Section 6.3(b) shall be allocated to the other Shareholders in the same manner and to the same extent provided in this Section 6.5(b).

(iv) If any Shareholder unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), items of income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Shareholder in an amount and manner consistent with the allocations of income and gain pursuant to Section 6.3(c).

(c) The tax allocations prescribed by this Section 6.5 shall be made to each holder of a Share whether or not the holder is a substituted Limited Owner. For purposes of this Section 6.5, tax allocations shall be made to the Managing Owner’s Shares on a Share-equivalent basis.

(d) The allocation of income and loss (and items thereof) for U.S. federal income tax purposes set forth in this Section 6.5 is intended to allocate taxable income and loss among Shareholders generally in the ratio and to the extent that net profit and net loss shall be allocated to such Shareholders under Section 6.3 so as to eliminate, to the extent possible, any disparity between a

Shareholder’s book capital account and its tax capital account, consistent with the principles set forth in Sections 704(b) and (c)(2) of the Code.

(e) Notwithstanding this Section 6.5, if after taking into account any distributions to be made with respect to such Share for the relevant period pursuant to Section 6.7 herein, any allocation would produce a deficit in the book capital account of a Share, the portion of such allocation that would create such a deficit shall instead be allocated pro rata to the book capital accounts of all the remaining Shareholders (subject to the same limitation).

6.6 Effect of Section 754 Election. All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit recognized by the Master Fund for federal income tax purposes and allocated to Shareholders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be determined without regard to any election under section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Master Fund; provided, however, that such allocations, once made, shall be adjusted as necessary or appropriate to take into account those adjustments permitted or required by Sections 734 or 743 of the Code.

6.7 Allocation of Distributions. Initially, distributions shall be made by the Managing Owner, and the Managing Owner shall have sole discretion in determining the amount and frequency of distributions, other than redemptions, with respect to the Shares; provided, however, that no distribution shall be made that violates the Delaware Trust Statute. The aggregate distributions made in a Fiscal Year (other than distributions on termination, which shall be allocated in the manner described in Article XIII) shall be allocated among the holders of record of Shares in the ratio in which the number of Shares held of record by each of them bears to the number of Shares held of record by all of the Shareholders as of the record date of such distribution; provided, further, however, that any distribution made in respect of a Share shall not exceed the book capital account for such Share.

6.8 Admissions of Shareholders; Transfers. For purposes of this Article VI, items of the Master Fund’s income, gain, loss, deduction and credit attributable to a transferred Share shall, for federal income tax purposes, be determined on an annual basis and prorated on a monthly basis (or other basis, as required or permitted by Section 706 of the Code) and shall be allocated to the Shareholders who own the Shares as of the close of the Exchange on the last day of the month in which the transfer is recognized by the Master Fund; provided that, gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Master Fund shall be allocated to the Shareholders who own Shares as of the close of the Exchange on the last day of the month in which such gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax purposes. The Managing Owner may revise, alter or otherwise modify such methods of determination and allocation as it determine necessary, to the extent permitted by Section 706 of the Code and the regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder.

6.9 Liability for State and Local and Other Taxes. In the event that the Master Fund shall be separately subject to taxation by any state or local or by any foreign taxing authority, the Master Fund shall be obligated to pay such taxes to such jurisdiction. In the event that the Master Fund shall be required to make payments to any U.S. federal, state or local or any foreign taxing authority in respect of any Shareholder’s allocable share of income, the amount of such taxes shall be considered a loan by the Master Fund to such Shareholder, and such Shareholder shall be liable for, and shall pay to the Master Fund, any taxes so required to be withheld and paid over by the Master Fund within ten (10) days after the Managing Owner’s request therefor. Such Shareholder shall also be liable for (and the Managing Owner shall be entitled to redeem additional Shares of the foreign Shareholder as necessary to satisfy) interest on the amount of taxes paid over by the Master Fund to the IRS or other taxing authority, from the date of the Managing Owner’s request for payment to the date of payment or the redemption, as the case may be, at the rate of two percent (2%) over the prime rate charged from time to time by Citibank, N.A. The amount, if any, payable by the Master Fund to the Shareholder in respect of its Shares so redeemed, or in respect of any other actual distribution by the Master Fund to such Shareholder, shall be reduced by any obligations owed to the Master Fund by the Shareholder, including, without limitation,

the amount of any taxes required to be paid over by the Master Fund to the IRS or other taxing authority and interest thereon as aforesaid. Amounts, if any, deducted by the Master Fund from any actual distribution or redemption payment to such Shareholder shall be treated as an actual distribution to such Shareholder for all purposes of this Trust Agreement.

6.10 Consent to Methods. The methods set forth in this Article VI by which Distributions are made and items of Profit and Loss are allocated are hereby expressly consented to by each Shareholder as an express condition to becoming a Shareholder.

ARTICLE VII

REDEMPTIONS

7.1 Redemption of Redemption Baskets. The following procedures, as supplemented by the more detailed procedures agreed from time-to-time between the Managing Owner and the Limited Owner, will govern the Trust with respect to the redemption of Redemption Baskets.

(a) On any Business Day, a Shareholder may redeem one or more Redemption Baskets by delivering a request for redemption to the Managing Owner (such request a “Redemption Order”) in accordance with such procedures as the Managing Owner shall from time-to-time determine.

(b) To be effective, a Redemption Order must be submitted on a Business Day by the Order Cut-Off Time in form satisfactory to the Managing Owner (the Business Day on which the Redemption Order is so submitted, the “Redemption Order Date”). The Managing Owner shall reject any Redemption Order the fulfillment of which its counsel advises may be illegal under applicable laws and regulations, and the Managing Owner shall have no liability to any person for rejecting a Redemption Order in such circumstances.

(c) Subject to deduction of any tax or other governmental charges due thereon, if any, the redemption distribution (“Redemption Distribution”) shall consist of cash in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of Redemption Baskets set forth in the relevant Redemption Order by (ii) the Net Asset Value Per Basket as of the closing time of the Exchange or the last to close of the exchanges on which any of the Index Commodities is traded, whichever is later, on the Redemption Order Date.

(d) By noon New York time on the Business Day immediately following the Redemption Order Date (the “Redemption Settlement Time”), if the Managing Owner’s account at the Depository has by noon, New York time, on such day been credited with the Redemption Baskets being tendered for redemption and the Managing Owner has by such time received the Transaction Fee, the Managing Owner shall deliver the Redemption Distribution by means of such procedures as the Managing Owner shall determine from time-to-time. If by such Redemption Settlement Time, the Managing Owner has not received from a redeeming Shareholder all Redemption Baskets comprising the Redemption Order, the Managing Owner will (i) settle the Redemption Order to the extent of whole Redemption Baskets received from the Shareholder and (ii) keep the Shareholder’s Redemption Order open until noon, New York time, on the first Business Day following the Redemption Settlement Date as to the balance of the Redemption Order (such balance, the “Suspended Redemption Order”). If the Redemption Basket(s) comprising the Suspended Redemption Order are credited to Managing Owner’s account by noon, New York time, on such following Business Day, the Redemption Distribution with respect to the Suspended Redemption Order shall be paid in the manner provided in the second preceding sentence. If by such Redemption Settlement Time, the Managing Owner has not received from the redeeming Shareholder all Redemption Baskets comprising the Suspended Redemption Order, the Managing Owner will settle the Suspended

Redemption Order to the extent of whole Redemption Baskets then received and any balance of the Suspended Redemption will be cancelled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when and under such conditions as the Managing Owner may from time to time determine, the Managing Owner shall be authorized to deliver the Redemption Distribution notwithstanding that a Redemption Basket has not been credited to the Trust’s account if the Shareholder has collateralized its obligation to deliver the Redemption Basket on such terms as the Managing Owner may, in its sole discretion, from time to time agree.

(e) The Managing Owner may, in its discretion, suspend the right of redemption, or postpone the Redemption Settlement Date: (i) for any period during which the Exchange is closed other than customary weekend and 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 Master Fund’s assets is not reasonably practicable, or (iii) for such other period as the Managing Owner determines to be necessary for the protection of the Limited Owner. The Managing Owner will not be liable to any person or in any way for any loss or damages that may result from any such suspension or postponement.

(f) Redemption Baskets effectively redeemed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.1 shall be cancelled.

(g) Baskets may not be redeemed during the Initial Offering Period.

7.2 Other Redemption Procedures. The Managing Owner from time to time may, but shall have no obligation to, establish procedures with respect to redemption of Limited Shares in lot sizes smaller than the Redemption Basket and permitting the Redemption Distribution to be in a form, and delivered in a manner, other than that specified in Section 7.1.

ARTICLE VIII

THE LIMITED OWNER

8.1 No Management or Control; Limited Liability. The Limited Owner shall not participate in the management or control of the Master Fund’s business nor shall it transact any business for the Master Fund or have the power to sign for or bind the Master Fund, said power being vested solely and exclusively in the Managing Owner. Except as provided in Section 8.3 hereof, the Limited Owner shall not be bound by, or be personally liable for, the expenses, liabilities or obligations of the Master Fund in excess of its Capital Contribution plus its share of any Trust Estate in which the Limited Owner owns a share and profits remaining, if any. Except as provided in Section 8.3 hereof, each Limited Share owned by the Limited Owner shall be fully paid and no assessment shall be made against the Limited Owner.

8.2 Rights and Duties. The Limited Owner shall have the following rights, powers, privileges, duties and liabilities:

(a) The Limited Owner shall have the right to obtain from the Managing Owner information of all things affecting the Master Fund, provided that such is for a purpose reasonably related to the Limited Owner’s interest as a beneficial owner of the Master Fund, including, without limitation, such reports as are set forth in Article IX. The foregoing rights are in addition to, and do not limit, other remedies available to the Limited Owner under U.S. federal or state law.

(b) The Limited Owner shall receive the share of the distributions provided for in this Trust Agreement in the manner and at the times provided for in this Trust Agreement.

(c) Except for the Limited Owner’s redemption rights set forth in Article VII hereof, the Limited Owner shall have the right to demand the return of its Capital Account only upon the dissolution and winding up of the Master Fund and only to the extent of funds available therefor. In no event shall the Limited Owner be entitled to demand or receive property other than cash. The Limited Owner shall not have any right to bring an action for partition against the Master Fund.

(d) The Limited Owner may (i) continue the Master Fund as provided in Section 13.1 (a), (ii) remove the Managing Owner on reasonable prior written notice to the Managing Owner, (iii) elect and appoint one or more additional Managing Owners, or consent to such matters, (iv) approve a material change in investment policies, as set forth in the Prospectus, (v) approve the termination of any agreement entered into between the Master Fund and the Managing Owner or any Affiliate of the Managing Owner for any reason, without penalty, (vi) approve amendments to this Trust Agreement as set forth in Section 11.1 hereof, and (vii) terminate the Trust as provided in Section 13.1(e), and in the case of (iii), (iv) and (v), in each instance on sixty (60) days’ prior written notice.

Except as set forth above, the Limited Owner shall have no voting or other rights with respect to the Master Fund.

8.3 Limitation on Liability.

(a) Except as provided in Sections 4.7(f), 5.2(g) and 6.9 hereof, and as otherwise provided under Delaware law, the Limited Owner shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized under the general corporation law of Delaware and no Limited Owner shall be liable for claims against, or debts of the Master Fund in excess of his Capital Contribution and its share of the applicable Trust Estate and undistributed profits, except in the event that the liability is founded upon misstatements or omissions contained in such Limited Owner’s participant agreement delivered in connection with its purchase of Shares. In addition, and subject to the exceptions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Master Fund shall not make a claim against a Limited Owner with respect to amounts distributed to such Limited Owner or amounts received by such Limited Owner upon redemption unless, under Delaware law, such Limited Owner is liable to repay such amount.

(b) The Master Fund shall indemnify to the full extent permitted by law and the other provisions of this Trust Agreement, and to the extent of the applicable Trust Estate, each Limited Owner (excluding the Managing Owner to the extent of its ownership of any Limited Shares) against any claims of liability asserted against such Limited Owner solely because it is a beneficial owner of Shares as a Limited Owner (other than for taxes for which such Limited Owner is liable under Section 6.9 hereof).

(c) Every written note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or undertaking made or issued by the Managing Owner shall give notice to the effect that the same was executed or made by or on behalf of the Master Fund and that the obligations of such instrument are not binding upon the Limited Owner individually but are binding only upon the assets and property of the Master Fund, and no resort shall be had to the Limited Owner’s personal property for satisfaction of any obligation or claim thereunder, and appropriate references may be made to this Trust Agreement and may contain any further recital which the Managing Owner deems appropriate, but the omission thereof shall not operate to bind the Limited Owner individually or otherwise invalidate any such note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or undertaking. Nothing contained in this Section 8.3 shall diminish the limitation on the liability of the Master Fund to the extent set forth in Section 3.3 and 3.4 hereof.

ARTICLE IX

BOOKS OF ACCOUNT AND REPORTS

9.1 Books of Account. Proper books of account for the Master Fund shall be kept and shall be audited annually by an independent certified public accounting firm selected by the Managing Owner in its sole discretion, and there shall be entered therein all transactions, matters and things relating to the Master Fund’s business as are required by the CE Act and regulations promulgated thereunder, and all other applicable rules and regulations, and as are usually entered into books of account kept by Persons engaged in a business of like character. The books of account shall be kept at the principal office of the Master Fund and each Limited Owner (or any duly constituted designee of a Limited Owner) shall have, at all times during normal business hours, access to and the right to inspect and copy the same for any purpose reasonably related to the Limited Owner’s interest as a beneficial owner of the Master Fund, including such access as is required under CFTC rules and regulations. Such books of account shall be kept, and the Master Fund shall report its Profits and Losses on, the accrual method of accounting for financial accounting purposes on a Fiscal Year basis as described in Article X.

The Certificate of Trust shall not be amended in any respect if the effect of such amendment is to diminish the limitation on interseries liability under Section 3804 of the Delaware Trust Statute.

9.7 Registration of Shares. The Managing Owner shall keep, at the Master Fund’s principal place of business, a Share register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may provide, it shall provide for the registration of Shares and of transfers of Shares.

ARTICLE X

FISCAL YEAR

10.1 Fiscal Year. The Master Fund initially will adopt the calendar year as its taxable year (“Fiscal Year”). The first Fiscal Year of the Master Fund shall commence on the date of filing of the Certificate of Trust.

The Fiscal Year in which the Master Fund shall terminate shall end on the date of termination.

ARTICLE XI

AMENDMENT OF TRUST AGREEMENT; MEETINGS

11.1 Amendments to the Trust Agreement.

(a) Amendments to this Trust Agreement may be proposed by the Managing Owner or by any Limited Owner holding Shares equal to at least ten percent (10%) of the Net Asset Value of the Master Fund. Following such proposal, the Managing Owner shall submit to the Limited Owners a verbatim statement of any proposed amendment, and statements concerning the legality of such amendment and the effect of such amendment on the limited liability of the Limited Owners. The Managing Owner shall include in any such submission its recommendations as to the proposed amendment. The amendment shall become effective only upon the written approval or affirmative vote of the Limited Owners and upon receipt of an opinion of independent legal counsel to the effect that the amendment is legal, valid and binding and will not adversely affect the limitations on liability of the Limited Owner as described in Section 8.3 of this Trust Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where any action taken or authorized pursuant to any provision of this Trust Agreement requires the approval or affirmative vote of the Limited Owners, and/or the approval or affirmative vote of the Managing Owners, an amendment to such provision(s) shall be effective only upon the written approval or affirmative vote of the Shareholders required to take or authorize such action, or as may otherwise be required by applicable law, and upon receipt of an opinion of independent legal counsel as set forth above in this Section 11.1. In addition, except as otherwise provided below, reduction of the Capital Account of any assignee or modification of the percentage of Profits, Losses or distributions to which an assignee is entitled hereunder shall not be affected by amendment to this Trust Agreement without such assignee’s approval.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in Section 11.1(a) hereof, the Managing Owner may, without the approval of the Limited Owner, make such amendments to this Trust Agreement which: (i) are necessary to add to the representations, duties or obligations of the Managing Owner or surrender any right or power granted to the Managing Owner herein, for the benefit of the Limited Owner; (ii) are necessary to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein or in the Prospectus, or

to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Trust Agreement or the Prospectus which will not be inconsistent with the provisions of the Trust Agreement or the Prospectus; or (iii) the Managing Owner deems advisable, provided, however, that no amendment shall be adopted pursuant to this clause (iii) unless the adoption thereof: (A) is not adverse to the interests of the Limited Owner; (B) is consistent with Section 4.1 hereof; (C) except as otherwise provided in Section ll.l(c) below, does not affect the allocation of Profits and Losses among the Limited Owner or between the Limited Owner and the Managing Owner; and (D) does not adversely affect the limitations on liability of the Limited Owner, as described in Article VIII hereof or the status of the Master Fund as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Furthermore, (i) amendments to this Trust Agreement which adversely affect the rights of Limited Owner, (ii) the appointment of a new Managing Owner pursuant to Section 4.2(g) above, (iii) the dissolution of the Master Fund pursuant to Section 13.1(f) below and (iv) any material changes in the Master Fund’s basic investment policies or structure, shall occur in each case only upon the written approval or affirmative vote of the Limited Owner holding Shares equal to at least a majority (over 50%) of the Net Asset Value of the Master Fund (excluding Shares held by the Managing Owner and its Affiliates) pursuant to Section 11.1(a) above.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in Sections 11.1(a) and (b) hereof, the Managing Owner may, without the approval of the Limited Owner, amend the provisions of Article VI of this Trust Agreement relating to the allocations of Profits, Losses, Unrealized Gain, Unrealized Loss and distributions among the Shareholders if the Master Fund is advised at any time by the Master Fund’s accountants or legal counsel that the allocations provided in Article VI of this Trust Agreement are unlikely to be respected for U.S. federal income tax purposes, either because of the promulgation of new or revised Treasury Regulations under Section 704 of the Code or other developments in the law. The Managing Owner is empowered to amend such provisions to the minimum extent necessary in accordance with the advice of the accountants and counsel to effect the allocations and distributions provided in this Trust Agreement. New allocations made by the Managing Owner in reliance upon the advice of the accountants or counsel described above shall be deemed to be made pursuant to the obligation of the Managing Owner to the Master Fund and the Limited Owner, and no such new allocation shall give rise to any claim or cause of action by the Limited Owner.

(d) Upon amendment of this Trust Agreement, the Certificate of Trust shall also be amended, if required by the Delaware Trust Statute, to reflect such change.

(e) No amendment shall be made to this Trust Agreement without the consent of the Trustee if it reasonably believes that such amendment adversely affects any of the rights, duties or liabilities of the Trustee; provided, however, that the Trustee may not withhold its consent for any action which the Limited Owner is permitted to take under Section 8.2(d) above. At the expense of the Managing Owner, the Trustee shall execute and file any amendment to the Certificate of Trust if so directed by the Managing Owner or if such amendment is required in the opinion of the Trustee.

(f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to execute any amendment to the Trust Agreement or to any agreement to which the Master Fund is a party until the Trustee has received an instruction letter from the Managing Owner, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (i) directing the Trustee to execute such amendment, (ii) representing and warranting to the Trustee that such execution is authorized and permitted by the terms of the Trust Agreement and (if applicable) such other agreement to which the Master Fund is a party and does not conflict with or violate any other agreement to which the Master Fund is a party and (iii) confirming that such execution and acts related thereto are covered by the indemnity provisions of the Trust Agreement in favor of the Trustee.

(g) No provision of this Trust Agreement may be amended, waived or otherwise modified orally but only by a written instrument adopted in accordance with this Section.

11.2 Meetings of the Master Fund. Meetings of the Shareholders of the Master Fund may be called by the Managing Owner and will be called by it upon the written request of the Limited Owner. Such call for a meeting shall be deemed to have been made upon the receipt by the Managing Owner of a written request from the requisite percentage of Limited Owners. The Managing Owner shall deposit in the United States mails, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of said request, written notice to all Shareholders of the Master Fund of the meeting and the purpose of the meeting, which shall be held on a date, not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of mailing of said notice, at a reasonable time and place. Any notice of meeting shall be accompanied by a description of the action to be taken at the meeting and an opinion of independent counsel as to the effect of such proposed action on the liability of Limited Owner for the debts of the Master Fund. Shareholders may vote in person or by proxy at any such meeting.

11.3 Action without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken by Shareholders by vote may be taken without a meeting by written consent setting forth the actions so taken. Such written consents shall be treated for all purposes as votes at a meeting. If the vote or consent of any Shareholder to any action of the Master Fund or any Shareholder, as contemplated by this Trust Agreement, is solicited by the Managing Owner, then the solicitation shall be effected by notice to each Shareholder given in the manner provided in Section 15.4. The vote or consent of each Shareholder so solicited shall be deemed conclusively to have been cast or granted as requested in the notice of solicitation, whether or not the notice of solicitation is actually received by that Shareholder, unless the Shareholder expresses written objection to the vote or consent by notice given in the manner provided in Section 15.4 below and actually received by the Master Fund within twenty (20) days after the notice of solicitation is effected. The Managing Owner and all persons dealing with the Master Fund shall be entitled to act in reliance on any vote or consent which is deemed cast or granted pursuant to this Section and shall be fully indemnified by the Master Fund in so doing. Any action taken or omitted in reliance on any such deemed vote or consent of one or more Shareholders shall not be void or voidable by reason of timely communication made by or on behalf of all or any of such Shareholders in any manner other than as expressly provided in Section 15.4.

ARTICLE XII

TERM

12.1 Term. The term for which the Master Fund is to exist shall commence on the date of the filing of the Certificate of Trust and shall terminate pursuant to the provisions of Article XIII hereof or as otherwise provided by law.

ARTICLE XIII

TERMINATION

13.1 Events Requiring Dissolution of the Master Fund. The Master Fund shall dissolve at any time upon the happening of any of the following events:

(a) The filing of a certificate of dissolution or revocation of the Managing Owner’s charter (and the expiration of 90 days after the date of notice to the Managing Owner of revocation without a reinstatement of its charter) or upon the withdrawal, removal, adjudication or admission of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Managing Owner (each of the foregoing events an “Event of Withdrawal”), unless (i) at the time there is at least one remaining Managing Owner and that remaining Managing Owner carries on the business of the Master Fund or (ii) within 90 days of such Event of Withdrawal all the remaining Shareholders agree in writing to continue the business of the Master Fund and to select, effective as of the date of such event, one or more successor Managing Owners. If the Master Fund is terminated as the result of an Event of Withdrawal and a failure of all remaining Shareholders to continue the business of the Master Fund and to appoint a successor Managing Owner as provided in clause (a)(ii) above, within 120 days of such Event of Withdrawal, the Limited Owner may elect to continue the business of the Master Fund by forming a new statutory trust (the “Reconstituted Master Fund”) on the same terms and provisions as set forth in this Trust Agreement (whereupon the parties hereto shall execute and deliver any documents or instruments as may be necessary to reform the Master Fund). Any such election must also provide for the election of a Managing Owner to the Reconstituted Master Fund. If such an election is made, the Limited Owner of the Master Fund shall be bound thereby and continue as the Limited Owner of the Reconstituted Master Fund.

(b) The occurrence of any event which would make unlawful the continued existence of the Master Fund.

(c) In the event of the suspension, revocation or termination of the Managing Owner’s registration as a commodity pool operator or commodity trading advisor under the CE Act, or membership as a commodity pool operator or commodity trading advisor with the NFA, unless at the time there is at least one remaining Managing Owner whose registration or membership has not been suspended, revoked or terminated.

(d) The Master Fund becomes insolvent or bankrupt.

(e) The Limited Owner determines to dissolve the Master Fund, notice of which is sent to the Managing Owner not less than ninety (90) Business Days prior to the effective date of termination.

(f) The determination of the Managing Owner that the aggregate net assets of the Master Fund in relation to the operating expenses of the Master Fund make it unreasonable or imprudent to continue the business of the Master Fund, or, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, the determination by the Managing Owner to dissolve the Master Fund because the aggregate Net Asset Value of the Master Fund as of the close of business on any Business Day declines below $5 million.

(g) The Master Fund is required to be registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

13.2 Distributions on Dissolution. Upon the dissolution of the Master Fund, the Managing Owner (or in the event there is no Managing Owner, such person (the “Liquidating Trustee”) as the Limited Owner may propose and approve) shall take full charge of the Trust Estate. Any Liquidating Trustee so appointed shall have and may exercise, without further authorization or approval of any of the parties hereto, all of the powers conferred upon the Managing Owner under the terms of this Trust Agreement, subject to all of the applicable limitations, contractual and otherwise, upon the exercise of such powers, and provided that the Liquidating Trustee shall not have general liability for the acts, omissions, obligations and expenses of the Master Fund. Thereafter, in accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Delaware Trust Statute, the business and affairs of the Master Fund shall be wound up and all assets shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom

shall be applied and distributed in the following order of priority: (a) to the expenses of liquidation and termination and to creditors, including Shareholders who are creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by law, in satisfaction of liabilities of the Master Fund (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof) other than liabilities for distributions to Shareholders; and (b) to the Managing Owner and the Limited Owner pro rata in accordance with each of its positive book Capital Account balance, less any amount owing by such Shareholder to the Master Fund, after giving effect to all adjustments made pursuant to Article VI and all distributions theretofore made to the Shareholders pursuant to Article VI. After the distribution of all remaining assets of the Master Fund, the Managing Owner will contribute to the Master Fund an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the deficit balance, if any, in its book Capital Account, and (ii) the total Capital Contributions of the Limited Owner. Any Capital Contributions made by the Managing Owner pursuant to this Section shall be applied first to satisfy any amounts then owed by the Master Fund to its creditors, and the balance, if any, shall be distributed to those Shareholders whose book Capital Account balances (immediately following the distribution of any liquidation proceeds) were positive, in proportion to their respective positive book Capital Account balances.

13.3 Termination; Certificate of Cancellation. Following the dissolution and distribution of the assets of the Master Fund, the Master Fund shall terminate and the Managing Owner or the Liquidating Trustee, as the case may be, shall instruct the Trustee to execute and cause such certificate of cancellation of the Certificate of Trust to be filed in accordance with the Delaware Trust Statute. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Trust Agreement, the existence of the Master Fund as a separate legal entity shall continue until the filing of such certificate of cancellation.

ARTICLE XIV

POWER OF ATTORNEY

14.1 Power of Attorney Executed Concurrently. Concurrently with the written acceptance and adoption of the provisions of this Trust Agreement, the Limited Owner shall execute and deliver to the Managing Owner a Power of Attorney as part of the participant agreement, or in such other form as may be prescribed by the Managing Owner. The Limited Owner, by its execution and delivery hereof, irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Managing Owner and its officers and directors, with full power of substitution, as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent for the Limited Owner with full power and authority to act in its name and on its behalf in the execution, acknowledgment, filing and publishing of Master Fund documents, including, but not limited to, the following:

(a) Any certificates and other instruments, including but not limited to, any applications for authority to do business and amendments thereto, which the Managing Owner deems appropriate to qualify or continue the Master Fund as a business Master Fund in the jurisdictions in which the Master Fund may conduct business, so long as such qualifications and continuations are in accordance with the terms of this Trust Agreement or any amendment hereto, or which may be required to be filed by the Master Fund or the Shareholders under the laws of any jurisdiction;

(b) Any instrument which may be required to be filed by the Master Fund under the laws of any state or by any governmental agency, or which the Managing Owner deems advisable to file; and

(c) This Trust Agreement and any documents which may be required to effect an amendment to this Trust Agreement approved under the terms of the Trust Agreement, and the continuation of the Master Fund, the admission of the signer of the Power of Attorney as a Limited Owner or of others

as additional or substituted Limited Owners, or the termination of the Master Fund, provided such continuation, admission or termination is in accordance with the terms of this Trust Agreement.

14.2 Effect of Power of Attorney. The Power of Attorney concurrently granted by the Limited Owner to the Managing Owner:

(a) Is a special, irrevocable Power of Attorney coupled with an interest, and shall survive and not be affected by the dissolution, liquidation or termination of the Limited Owner;

(b) May be exercised by the Managing Owner for the Limited Owner by a facsimile signature of one of its officers or by a single signature of one of its officers acting as attorney-in-fact for all of them; and

(c) Shall survive the delivery of an assignment by the Limited Owner of the whole or any portion of its Limited Shares; except that where the assignee thereof has been approved by the Managing Owner for admission to the Master Fund as a substituted Limited Owner, the Power of Attorney of the assignor shall survive the delivery of such assignment for the sole purpose of enabling the Managing Owner to execute, acknowledge and file any instrument necessary to effect such substitution.

The Limited Owner agrees to be bound by any representations made by the Managing Owner and by any successor thereto, determined to be acting in good faith pursuant to such Power of Attorney and not constituting negligence or misconduct.

14.3 Limitation on Power of Attorney. The Power of Attorney concurrently granted by the Limited Owner to the Managing Owner shall not authorize the Managing Owner to act on behalf of the Limited Owner in any situation in which this Trust Agreement requires the approval of the Limited Owner unless such approval has been obtained as required by this Trust Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Trust Agreement and any instruments filed by the Managing Owner or any new Managing Owner pursuant to this Power of Attorney, this Trust Agreement shall control.

ARTICLE XV

MISCELLANEOUS

15.1 Governing Law. The validity and construction of this Trust Agreement and all amendments hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, and the rights of all parties hereto and the effect of every provision hereof shall be subject to and construed according to the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof; provided, however, that causes of action for violations of U.S. federal or state securities laws shall not be governed by this Section, and provided, further, that the parties hereto intend that the provisions hereof shall control over any contrary or limiting statutory or common law of the State of Delaware (other than the Delaware Trust Statute) and that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, there shall not be applicable to the Master Fund, the Trustee, the Managing Owner, the Shareholders or this Trust Agreement any provision of the laws (statutory or common) of the State of Delaware (other than the Delaware Trust Statute) pertaining to Master Funds which relate to or regulate in a manner inconsistent with the terms hereof: (a) the filing with any court or governmental body or agency of Trustee accounts or schedules of Trustee fees and charges; (b) affirmative requirements to post bonds for Trustees, officers, agents, or employees of a Master Fund; (c) the necessity for obtaining court or other governmental approval concerning the acquisition, holding or disposition of real or personal property; (d) fees or other sums payable to Trustees, officers, agents or employees of a Master Fund; (e) the allocation of receipts and expenditures to income or principal; (f) restrictions or limitations on the permissible nature, amount or concentration of Master Fund

No Managing Owner or Trustee shall be liable for making or failing to make such a determination.

(b) If any provision of this Trust Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such holding shall not in any manner affect or render invalid or unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction or any other provision of this Trust Agreement in any jurisdiction.

15.3 Construction. In this Trust Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, words used in the singular or in the plural include both the plural and singular and words denoting any gender include all genders. The title and headings of different parts are inserted for convenience and shall not affect the meaning, construction or effect of this Trust Agreement.

15.4 Notices. All notices or communications under this Trust Agreement (other than requests for redemption of Shares, notices of assignment, transfer, pledge or encumbrance of Shares, and reports and notices by the Managing Owner to the Limited Owner) shall be in writing and shall be effective upon personal delivery, or if sent by mail, postage prepaid, or if sent electronically, by facsimile or by overnight courier; and addressed, in each such case, to the address set forth in the books and records of the Master Fund or such other address as may be specified in writing, of the party to whom such notice is to be given, upon the deposit of such notice in the United States mail, upon transmission and electronic confirmation thereof or upon deposit with a representative of an overnight courier, as the case may be. Requests for redemption, notices of assignment, transfer, pledge or encumbrance of Shares shall be effective upon timely receipt by the Managing Owner in writing.

15.5 Counterparts. This Trust Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and all so executed shall constitute one agreement, binding on all of the parties hereto, notwithstanding that all the parties are not signatory to the original or the same counterpart.

15.6 Binding Nature of Trust Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Trust Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, custodians, executors, estates, administrators, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns of the respective Shareholders. For purposes of determining the rights of any Shareholder or assignee hereunder, the Master Fund and the Managing Owner may rely upon the Master Fund records as to who are Shareholders and permitted assignees, and all Shareholders and assignees agree that the Master Fund and the Managing Owner, in determining such

rights, shall rely on such records and that Limited Owner and assignees shall be bound by such determination.

15.7 No Legal Title to Trust Estate. Subject to the provisions of Section 1.8 in the case of the Managing Owner, the Shareholders shall not have legal title to any part of the Trust Estate.

15.8 Creditors. No creditors of any Shareholders shall have any right to obtain possession of, or otherwise exercise legal or equitable remedies with respect to, the Master Fund Estate.

15.9 Integration. This Trust Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings pertaining thereto.
