prepared for the Leveraged Oil Funds. |

reasonable manner. |
| (c) | If a Terminating Party has provided notice of its desire to terminate with respect to a XXX-USCF
Fund pursuant to section 9(c)(ii), then the Non-Terminating Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to request that
the Terminating Party use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the transfer and assignment of the Terminating Party’s
rights and responsibilities under applicable contracts for such XXX-USCF Fund and to take other commercially reasonable action
