Β
Section
2.5Β Form
of Shares; Book-Entry System; Transferability of Up-MACRO Holding
Shares.
Β
(a)Β Form
of Shares.
The Up-MACRO Holding Shares shall be evidenced by one or more global
certificates substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit
A
attached hereto, with appropriate insertions, modifications and omissions
as
hereinafter provided (each such certificate, a "Global
Certificate").
No Up-MACRO Holding Shares shall be entitled to any benefits under this Trust
Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless a Global Certificate
evidencing those Up-MACRO Holding Shares has been executed by the Trustee
by the
manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized signatory of the Trustee
and
countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized officer
of the Depositor. The Trustee shall maintain books on which the registered
ownership of each Global Certificate and transfers, if any, of such registered
ownership shall be recorded. Global Certificates evidencing the Up-MACRO
Holding
Shares bearing the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized signatory
of the Trustee and the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized
officer of the Depositor, if applicable, who was, at the time such Global
Certificates were executed, a proper signatory of the Trustee or the Depositor,
as applicable, shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such signatory
has
ceased to hold such office prior to the delivery of such Global Certificates.
The Global Certificates may be endorsed with or have incorporated in the
text
thereof such legends or recitals or modifications not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Trust Agreement as may be required by the Trustee or required
to comply with any applicable law or regulations promulgated thereunder or
with
the rules and regulations of any securities exchange upon which the Up-MACRO
Holding Shares may be listed or to conform with any usage with respect thereto,
or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which the Up-MACRO
Holding Shares are subject.
Β
The
Founders' Shares and the beneficial ownership thereof by the Depositor and
the
Administrative Agent shall be recorded on the books and records maintained
by
the Trustee on behalf of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust and no physical certificates
shall be issued in respect of such Founders' Shares. Concurrently with the
first
Paired Issuance of Paired Holding Shares, the Founders' Shares shall be
cancelled and shall not thereafter be reissued.
Β
25
(b)Β Book-Entry
Settlement.
The Depositor and the Trustee shall apply to the Depository for acceptance
of
the Global Certificates in its book-entry settlement system. The Global
Certificates shall be deposited with the Trustee, as the custodian for the
Depository, shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for
the Depository, and shall bear the following legend:
Β
UNLESS
THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY
TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION (THE "DEPOSITORY"),
TO
THE AGENT AUTHORIZED BY THE DEPOSITOR FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE
OR
PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO.
OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF
THE
DEPOSITORY (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS
IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY), ANY TRANSFER,
PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS
WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN
INTEREST HEREIN.
Β
So
long
as the Up-MACRO Holding Shares are eligible for book-entry settlement with
the
Depository, (i) no Beneficial Owner of Up-MACRO Holding Shares will be entitled
to receive a physical certificate evidencing those shares, (ii) the interest
of
a Beneficial Owner in the Up-MACRO Holding Shares 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-MACRO Holding Shares 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-MACRO Holding Shares.
Β
As
provided in the Depository Agreement, upon the settlement date for any creation,
transfer or redemption of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares, the Depository will
credit or debit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the
amount
of Up-MACRO Holding Shares so created, transferred or redeemed to the accounts
of the appropriate DTC Participants. The accounts to be credited and charged
shall be designated by the Trustee, as instructed by the Administrative Agent
and the applicable Holder of Up-MACRO Holding Shares. The Beneficial Owners
of
the Up-MACRO Holding Shares will be shown on, and the transfer of beneficial
ownership by Beneficial Owners will be effected only through, in the case
of DTC
Participants, records maintained by the Depository and, in the case of Indirect
Participants and Beneficial Owners holding through a DTC Participant or an
Indirect Participant, through those records or the records of the relevant
DTC
Participants. Beneficial Owners are expected to receive from or through the
broker or bank that maintains the account through which the Beneficial Owner
has
purchased Up-MACRO Holding Shares a written confirmation relating to their
purchase of Up-MACRO Holding Shares.
Β
Upon
the
settlement date for any creation, transfer, redemption or exchange of Up-MACRO
Holding Shares, 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-MACRO
Holding Shares 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
26
The
Depository may discontinue providing its services with respect to the Up-MACRO
Holding Shares by giving notice to the Trustee, the Administrative Agent
and the
Depositor pursuant to and in conformity with the provisions of the Depository
Agreement and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under
applicable law. 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-MACRO Holding Shares 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-MACRO Holding
Shares, 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-MACRO Holding
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-MACRO Holding Shares shall be made to the Depository
or its nominee, Cede & Co., as the registered owner of all Up-MACRO Holding
Shares. The Trustee and the Depositor expect that the Depository or its nominee,
upon receipt of any distributions made in respect of the Up-MACRO Holding
Shares, shall credit immediately the DTC Participants' accounts with payments
in
amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the Up-MACRO
Holding Shares as shown on the records of the Depository or its nominee.
The
Trustee and the Depositor also expect that payments by DTC Participants to
Indirect Participants and Beneficial Owners held through such DTC Participants
and Indirect Participants will be governed by standing instructions and
customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts
of
customers in bearer form or registered in a "street name," and shall be the
responsibility of such DTC Participants and Indirect Participants. 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-MACRO Holding Shares, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any
records relating to such beneficial ownership interests or for any other
aspect
of the relationship between the Depository and the DTC Participants or the
relationship between such DTC Participants and the Indirect Participants
and
Beneficial Owners owning through such DTC Participants or Indirect Participants
or between or among the Depository, any Beneficial Owner and any Person by
or
through which such Beneficial Owner is considered to own Up-MACRO Holding
Shares.
Β
(e)Β Registration
of Transfer; Restrictions on Transfer.
Β
27
(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-MACRO Holding Shares and of
transfers and exchanges of such shares as herein provided. The Transfer Agent
and Registrar shall initially be the Trustee. The Depositor may revoke such
appointment and remove any Transfer Agent and Registrar if the Depositor
determines in its sole discretion that such Transfer Agent and Registrar
failed
to perform 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-MACRO Holding Shares, but the Transfer Agent and Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that
may be imposed in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
Β
(iii)Β No
sale or transfer of beneficial interests in the Up-MACRO Holding Shares may
be
made to any Beneficial Owner other than (i) the Up-MACRO Tradeable Trust,
(ii) a
Qualified Institutional Buyer who is not a Benefit Plan Investor, or (iii)
an
Authorized Participant. Each Beneficial Owner of an Up-MACRO Holding Share
shall
be deemed to represent and warrant, by virtue of acquiring an interest in
the
Up-MACRO Holding Shares, that it is an entity that is described in one of
the
foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii). In the event that any of the Trustee,
the
Administrative Agent or the Depositor obtains knowledge that any Beneficial
Owner is not an entity of the type described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii),
the
Trustee, acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall instruct
such Beneficial Owner to transfer its Up-MACRO Holding Shares to an entity
that
does satisfy clause (i), (ii) or (iii).
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-MACRO
Holding Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or
destroyed Global Certificate shall be found at any time.
Β
28
(g)Β Share
Split.Β Pursuant
to resolutions adopted by the Board of Managers of the Depositor on September
28, 2007, the Depositor has declared a three-for-one split of the Up-MACRO
Holding Shares. The record date and pay date for the split shall be designated
and notified by the Depositor to the AMEX and the general public. The total
amount of Outstanding Up-MACRO Holding Shares shall be tripled and the Depositor
shall instruct DTC to credit on the applicable pay date three shares for
each
one share that is credited to any DTC account as of the applicable record
date.
A three-for-one split has also been declared for the Down-MACRO Holding Shares,
the Up-MACRO Tradeable Shares and the Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares.

Participant may direct the redemption of Paired Holding Shares by delivering
a
Redemption Order to the Administrative Agent and satisfying the conditions
set
forth in this Section
6.1
(such redemption, a "Paired
Optional Redemption").
The Authorized Participant directing the Paired Optional Redemption must
be the
Beneficial Owner of the Paired Holding Shares or the Up-MACRO and Down-MACRO
Tradeable Shares which are being tendered for redemption, as shown on the
records of the Depository. Only Authorized Participants may direct Paired
Optional Redemptions. Up-MACRO Holding Shares will be redeemed at their Per
Share Underlying Value, as calculated on the Redemption Order Date on which
the
related Redemption Order was delivered; provided,
that, in the case of any Redemption Order placed on a Distribution Date or
on
the Business Day succeeding a Distribution Date, such Final Distribution
will
also include Up-MACRO and Down-MACRO Earned Income Accruals for each intervening
day between the Redemption Order Date and the Redemption Date calculated
on the
basis of the Applicable Reference Price of Crude Oil on the Redemption Order
Date.
Β
(b)Β Subject
to the procedures and requirements specified in the Participants Agreement,
the
redeeming Authorized Participants may effect a Paired Optional Redemption
by
delivering a Redemption Order to the Administrative Agent on any day that
is a
Price Determination Day (such date, a "Redemption
Order Date")
not later than the earlier of (i) half an hour prior to the end of trading
in
the Light Sweet Crude Oil Futures Contracts or prior to the time as of which
any
Substitute Reference Oil Price is determined by the Applicable Reference
Price
Provider and (ii) the unanticipated close of trading of the Light Sweet Crude
Oil Futures Contracts or of the Substitute Reference Oil Price. Any Redemption
Order received by the Administrative Agent after the time specified in the
foregoing sentence will automatically be cancelled. Following the Redemption
Order Date, the redeeming Authorized Participant must transfer to the Trustee,
not later than the date and time specified in the Participants Agreement,
(i)
the requisite number of Paired Holding Shares constituting at least one MACRO
Unit or integral multiples thereof or the requisite number of Tradeable Shares
which upon their exchange for their underlying Holding Shares, will constitute
at least one MACRO Unit or integral multiples thereof, (ii) the applicable
Redemption Cash Component, if any, and (iii) the transaction fee described
in

(i) if
the Administrative Agent determines that the Redemption Order is not in the
required form, (ii) if Paired Holding Shares or Up-MACRO and Down-MACRO
Tradeable Shares constituting at least one or more whole MACRO Units are
not
tendered to the Trustee for redemption, (iii) if the Depositor has determined,
based upon an opinion of counsel, and advised the Trustee, that such Redemption
Order would have adverse tax or securities laws consequences for either of
the
Paired Holding Trusts, the Up-MACRO Tradeable Trust or Down-MACRO Tradeable
Trust, the Holders of the Paired Holding Shares or the Holders of the Up-MACRO
Tradeable Shares or Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares, (iv) if the acceptance or
receipt of the Redemption Order would, in the opinion of counsel to the
Depositor acceptable to the Trustee, be unlawful, (v) if any such redemption
would cause the Up-MACRO Tradeable Trust to hold fifty percent or less of
the
Outstanding Up-MACRO Holding Shares, (vi) if circumstances outside the control
of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Administrative Agent make it impractical
or
not feasible to process the Redemption Order on the Redemption Order Date
or the
Redemption Date, or (vii) if the Down-MACRO Holding Trustee has notified
the
Trustee that it has rejected the related Redemption Order or the related
Exchange Order delivered under the Down-MACRO Holding Trust Agreement for
one of
the reasons described in Section
6.1(c)
of the Down-MACRO Holding Trust Agreement. None of the Trustee, the Depositor
or
the Administrative Agent shall be liable to any Person for rejecting a
Redemption Order pursuant to this Section
6.1(c).
Β
(d)Β If
the Redemption Order Date on which a Paired Optional Redemption was directed
is
not a Distribution Date and there are insufficient funds on deposit in the
Cash
Netting Subaccount delivered in connection with Paired Issuances directed
on the
same date as such Paired Optional Redemption and in the Distribution Account
from maturing Eligible Treasury Repurchase Agreements, as determined in
accordance with Section
6.4,
the Administrative Agent shall deliver instructions to the Trustee with respect
to the Eligible Treasuries then on deposit in the Up-MACRO Holding Trust,
in
which the Administrative Agent, employing "last in, first out" methodology
and
complying in all respects with the requirements and conditions set forth
in
Exhibit
H
hereto, shall:
Β
(i)Β identify
the Eligible Treasuries on deposit in the Up-MACRO Holding Trust that are
the
most recently-acquired Eligible Treasuries with a Value equal to the product
of
the Up-MACRO Redemption Percentage and the Up-MACRO Asset Amount (or the
portion
thereof that is not available to be delivered in cash);
Β
(ii)Β (A)
select Eligible Treasuries with a Value equal to the Up-MACRO Settlement
Payment, if any such payment is required to be made by the Up-MACRO Holding
Trust, (B) allocate the remaining Eligible Treasuries to be delivered as
a Final
Distribution to the Authorized Participants directing the Paired Optional
Redemption and (C) in the event that the remaining Eligible Treasuries to
be
delivered as a Final Distribution exceed the amount due to the Authorized
Participants directing the Paired Optional Redemption, calculate the amount
to
be paid by the Authorized Participants to the Up-MACRO Holding Trust to
compensate the trust for the excess Value of the Eligible Treasuries being
delivered to the Authorized Participants as a Final Distribution (such amount,
the "Redemption
Cash Component");
and
Β
47
(iii)Β instruct
the Trustee as to which Eligible Treasuries the Trustee is to use to effect
the
Paired Optional Redemption and, of those, the Eligible Treasuries to be used
to
make the Up-MACRO Settlement Payment, if any, the Eligible Treasuries to
be used
to make the Final Distribution to the redeeming Authorized Participants and
the
Redemption Cash Component to be collected from the Authorized Participants,
if
any. Β
Β
The
Eligible Treasuries selected by the Administrative Agent to be delivered
as the
Final Distribution in a Paired Optional Redemption shall be distributed ratably,
by type, to each redeeming Authorized Participant. A "type" of Eligible Treasury
will include all Eligible Treasuries on deposit in the Up-MACRO Holding Trust
with the same acquisition date, the same purchase price, the same maturity
and
the same implied discount or stated interest. The Trustee shall cause the
Up-MACRO Holding Trust to deliver Eligible Treasuries pursuant to this
Section
6.1(d)
only in accordance with the directions of the Administrative Agent. If the
Administrative Agent violates any of the requirements or conditions set forth
in
Exhibit H in the course of directing the Trustee in the selection and
distribution of Eligible Treasuries "in kind" pursuant to this Section
6.1(d),
the Administrative Agent shall undertake to remedy such violation in the
manner
specified in such Exhibit H.
Β
(e)Β A
non-refundable transaction fee will be payable to the Trustee for its own
account in connection with each Redemption Order in the amount specified
in
Section
7
of the Participants Agreement. In the event that a Redemption Order fails
and
the Trustee or the Administrative Agent has incurred expenses on behalf of
the
Up-MACRO Holding Trust in connection with taking steps to effect a Paired
Optional Redemption pursuant thereto, and any reimbursement of such expenses
cannot be obtained from the Authorized Participant who delivered the Redemption
Order, then such expenses shall be reimbursed to the Trustee and the
Administrative Agent on the next Distribution Payment Date out of funds
available in the Fee Payment Account or, if such funds are insufficient,
by the
Depositor.
Β
(f)Β On
any Distribution Date that is an Early Termination Date or on the Final
Scheduled Termination Date, the Trustee shall redeem all of the Up-MACRO
Holding
Shares that are Outstanding on such Distribution Date at their Per Share
Underlying Value, as calculated on the immediately preceding Price Determination
Day, using the funds that are on deposit in the Distribution Account after
all
of the Settlement Contracts have been settled, as specified in priority
third

with the issuance of additional Down-MACRO Holding Shares in the form of
MACRO
Units (such an issuance, a "Paired
Issuance")
and, if applicable, concurrently exchange such MACRO Units to their related
Tradeable Shares 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-MACRO Holding Shares will be issued at the Per Share Underlying Value
of the
existing Up-MACRO Holding Shares 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-MACRO
Holding Shares being created, an amount equal to the Up-MACRO and Down-MACRO
Earned Income Accruals for each intervening day between the Issuance Order

Agent on any day that is a Price Determination Day (such date, the "Issuance
Order Date"),
prior to the earlier of (i) half an hour before the end of trading in the
Light
Sweet Crude Oil Futures Contracts on NYMEX or half an hour before the end
of
trading in the futures contracts from which any Substitute Reference Oil
Price
is derived or at such time as may be specified for any other applicable
Substitute Reference Oil Price and (ii) the unanticipated close of trading

Agreement, the number of Up-MACRO Holding Shares that the Up-MACRO Holding
Trust
may issue as part of a Paired Issuance is unlimited.

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 Holding Trusts, the
Up-MACRO Tradeable Trust or Down-MACRO Tradeable Trust, the Holders of the
Paired Holding Shares or the Holders of the Up-MACRO Tradeable Shares or
Down
MACRO Tradeable 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 any such creation would cause the Up-MACRO Tradeable Trust to hold
fifty
percent or less of the Outstanding Up-MACRO Holding Shares, (vi) if the
Down-MACRO Holding Trustee notifies the Trustee that the Creation Order for
additional Down-MACRO Holding Shares has been or will be rejected by it or

the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Down-MACRO Holding Trust, (vii)
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 Holding Shares registered pursuant to the
Securities Act to fulfill such Creation Order. None of the Trustee, the
Depositor or the Administrative Agent shall be liable to any Person by reason
of
the rejection of any Creation Order.
Β
(d)Β A
non-refundable transaction fee will be payable to the Trustee for its own

Contributions.
Β
(a)Β Each
Holder has made an initial Capital Contribution (as defined below) to the
Up-MACRO Holding Trust in cash equal to the amount paid for its Up-MACRO
Holding
Shares. Except as provided for herein, a Holder shall not be required to
make
any further Capital Contributions to the Up-MACRO Holding Trust.

as expressly set forth herein, no Holder shall be entitled to any return

Contributions.
Β
Section
7.2Β Capital
Accounts; Allocations.
There
shall be established in respect of each Holder a separate capital account
in the
books and records of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust in respect of the Holder's
Capital Contributions to the Up-MACRO Holding Trust (each, a "Capital
Account"),
to
which the following provisions shall apply:
Β
(a)Β The
Capital Account of each Holder initially shall be equal to the cash contributed
in exchange for its Up-MACRO Holding Shares (each, a "Capital
Contribution")
and, at the end of each day shall be:
Β
(i)Β increased
by (A) an amount equal to any amounts paid with respect to Up-MACRO Holding
Shares 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-MACRO
Holding Trust during such day as allocated under Section
7.2(b);
and
Β
55
(ii)Β decreased
by (A) any distributions made in cash by the Up-MACRO Holding Trust to such
Holder on such day; (B) the fair market value of any property other than
cash
distributed by the Up-MACRO Holding Trust to such Holder on such day; and
(C)
such Holder's interest in the Net Loss (and items thereof) of the Up-MACRO
Holding Trust for such day as allocated under Section
7.2(b).
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-MACRO Holding Trust shall be provisionally allocated
as
of the end of each day among the Holders in a manner such that the Capital
Account of each Holder immediately after giving effect to such allocation,
is,
as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to the amount equal to the
distributions that would be made to such Holder during such fiscal year pursuant
to Article
5
if (i) the Up-MACRO Holding Trust were dissolved and terminated; (ii) its
affairs were wound up and each Trust Asset was sold for cash equal to its
book
value; (iii) all Up-MACRO Holding Trust liabilities were satisfied (limited
with
respect to each nonrecourse liability to the book value of the assets securing
such liability); and (iv) the net assets of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust were
distributed in accordance with Article
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-MACRO Holding Trust pursuant to Section
14.1
and after all other allocations provided for in this Section
7.2
have been tentatively made as if this Section
7.2(b)
were not in this Trust Agreement, a distribution to the Holders under
Section
14.1
would be different from a distribution to the Holders under Article
5
then Net Profit (and items thereof) and Net Loss (and items thereof) for
the
fiscal year in which the Up-MACRO Holding Trust dissolves and terminates
pursuant to Section
14.1
shall be allocated among the Holders in a manner such that the Capital Account
of each Holder, immediately after giving effect to such allocation, is, as
nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to the amount of the distribution
that would be made to such Holder during such last fiscal year pursuant to
Article
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-MACRO Holding
Trust
dissolves and terminates (including through application of Section 761(e)
of the
Code) if delaying application of the principles of this Section
7.2(b)
would likely result in distributions under Section
14.1
that are materially different from distributions under Article
5
in the fiscal year in which the Up-MACRO Holding Trust dissolves and
terminates.
Β
(c)Β Before
any distribution of property (other than cash) from the Up-MACRO Holding
Trust
to a Holder (including without limitation, any non-cash asset which shall
be
deemed distributed immediately prior to the dissolution and winding up of
the
Up-MACRO Holding Trust), the Capital Accounts of all Holders of the Up-MACRO
Holding Trust shall be adjusted and, upon the occurrence of one or more of
the
other events described in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Regulations,
may
be adjusted to reflect the manner in which any unrealized income, gain, loss
or
deduction inherent in such property (that has not been previously reflected
in
the Holders' Capital Accounts) would be allocated among the Holders if there
were a taxable disposition of such property by the Up-MACRO Holding Trust
on the
date of distribution, in accordance with Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and
(g)
of the Regulations.
Β
56
(d)Β In
determining the amount of any liability for purposes of this Section
7.2,
there shall be taken into account Section 752 of the Code and any other
applicable provisions of the Code and any Regulations promulgated
thereunder.
Β
(e)Β Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Trust Agreement to the contrary, the provisions
of
this Section
7.2
regarding the maintenance of Capital Accounts shall be construed so as to
comply
with the provisions of the Code and any Regulations thereunder. The Depositor
in
its sole and absolute discretion and whose determination shall be binding
on the
Holders is hereby authorized to interpret and to modify the foregoing provisions
to the extent necessary to comply with the Code and Regulations.
Β
Section
7.3Β Regulatory
and Related Allocations.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article
7
to the
contrary, the following special allocations shall be made to the Capital
Accounts of the Holder in the following order:
Β
(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-MACRO Holding Trust
income
and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, subsequent taxable years)
in
an amount equal to the greater of (A) the portion of such Holder's share
of the
net decrease in such Partnership Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with
Regulations Section 1.704-2(d)(1), or (B) if such Holder would otherwise
have an
Adjusted Capital Account Deficit attributable solely to such Holder's Capital
Account at the end of such taxable year, an amount sufficient to eliminate
such
Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence
shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated
to the Holders pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be
determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2. This Section
7.3(a)
is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section
1.704-2(f) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
To the extent permitted by such section of the Regulations and for purposes
of
this Section
7.3(a)
only, each Holder's Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be determined
prior
to any other allocations with respect to such taxable year.
Β
(b)Β Partner
Minimum Gain Chargeback.
Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2, if there is
a net
decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to Partner
Nonrecourse Debt during any taxable year, each Holder shall be specially
allocated items of Up-MACRO Holding Trust income and gain for such taxable
year
(and, if necessary, subsequent taxable years) in an amount equal to such
Holder's share, if any, of the net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum
Gain attributable to such Holder's Partner Nonrecourse Debt, as determined
in
accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2. Allocations pursuant to the
previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required
to be allocated to each Holder pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated
shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2. This
Section
7.3(b)
is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in such
Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
Β
(c)Β Qualified
Income Offset.
In the event any Holder unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations,
or
distributions described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4),
(5) or
(6) with respect to such Holder's Capital Account, items of Up-MACRO Holding
Trust income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Holder in
an
amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the
Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Holder as quickly
as
possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section
7.3(c)
shall be made only if and to the extent that such Holder's Capital Account
would
have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided
for in this Trust Agreement have been tentatively made as if this Section
7.3(c)
were not in this Trust Agreement. This Section
7.3(c)
is intended to constitute a "qualified income offset" within the meaning
of
Regulations Section 1.704-1 and shall be interpreted consistently
therewith.
Β
57
(d)Β Nonrecourse
Deductions.
Any Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period shall be
allocated to the Capital Accounts of the Holders in accordance with their
respective Capital Accounts.
Β
(e)Β Partner
Nonrecourse Deductions.
Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year (or portion thereof)
of
the Up-MACRO Holding Trust shall be allocated to the Holder who bears the
economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which
such
Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable, in accordance with Regulations
Section 1.704-2.
Β
(f)Β Gross
Income Allocation.
In the event any Holder has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of
Up-MACRO Holding Trust income and gain shall be specially allocated to the
Capital Account of such Holder in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate
such Holder's Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible; provided
that an allocation pursuant to this Section
7.3(f)
shall be made only if and to the extent that such Holder's Capital Account
would
have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided
for in this Article
7
(other than this Section
7.3(f))
have been tentatively made as if this Section
7.3(f)
were not in this Trust Agreement.
Β
(g)Β Loss
Allocation Limitation.
No allocation of Net Loss (or items thereof) shall be made to any Holder
to the
extent that such allocation would create or increase an Adjusted Capital
Account
Deficit with respect to such Holder.
Β
(h)Β Curative
Allocations.
The allocations set forth in this Section
7.3
(the "Regulatory
Allocations")
are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations under
Section 704 of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust
Agreement (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations
shall be taken into account in allocating other Up-MACRO Holding Trust items
of
income, gain, loss, deduction and expense among the Holders so that, to the
extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other Up-MACRO Holding
Trust items and the Regulatory Allocations shall be equal to the net amount
that
would have been allocated to the Holders pursuant to this Trust Agreement
if the
Regulatory Allocations had not been made.
Β
Section
7.4Β Transfer
of or Change in Up-MACRO Holding Shares.
The
Depositor may use any convention or combination of conventions that it believes
is reasonable for U.S. federal income tax purposes regarding the allocation
of
items of income, gain, loss, deduction and expense with respect to transferred
Up-MACRO Holding Shares and redeemed Up-MACRO Holding Shares. A transferee
who
takes all or part of a Holder's Up-MACRO Holding Shares shall succeed to
the
Capital Account maintained in respect of the transferor Holder to the extent
of
such transfer.
Β
Section
7.5Β Tax
Allocations.
As of
the end of each day, income, expense, deduction, gain or loss of the Up-MACRO
Holding Trust, all as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, shall
be
allocated among the Holders pursuant to the following subsections solely
for
U.S. federal and other applicable tax purposes (both U.S. and non-U.S. taxes)
as
provided below. Such allocations shall be pro rata from short-term capital
gain
or loss and long-term capital gain or loss and operating income or loss
recognized by the Up-MACRO Holding Trust. Such allocations shall be made,
to the
extent required, in a manner consistent with the principles of Section
7.2(b).
Β
58
(a)Β Except
as provided in the second and third sentences of Section
7.5(b)(ii),
items of ordinary income (such as interest income), deduction and expense
(such
as advisory fees and brokerage fees) shall be allocated in a manner consistent
with the economic allocations described in Section
7.2.
Β
(b)Β Items
of recognized capital gain or loss from the Up-MACRO Holding Trust's trading
activities shall be allocated as follows:
Β
(i)Β There
shall be established a tax basis account with respect to each Holder's shares
in
the Up-MACRO Holding Trust. The initial balance of each tax basis account
shall
be the amount contributed to the capital of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust for
such
shares.
Β
(1)Β Each
tax basis account shall be increased by the amount of (I) any additional
contributions made with respect to such Holder's shares in the Up-MACRO Holding
Trust and (II) any taxable income or gain allocated to such Holder pursuant
to
Section
7.5(a)
above and this Section
7.5(b);
Β
(2)Β Each
tax basis account shall be decreased by the amount of (I) taxable expense,
deduction or loss allocated to such Holder pursuant to Section
7.5(a)
above and this Section
7.5(b)
and (II) any distribution received by such Holder with respect to its Up-MACRO
Holding Shares other than as a consequence of a partial redemption of Up-MACRO
Holding Shares; and
Β
(3)Β When
any Up-MACRO Holding Share is redeemed, the tax basis account attributable
to
such redeemed Up-MACRO Holding Share 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-MACRO Holding Shares on such day up to any
excess
of (A) the amount received upon such redemption over
(B) the tax basis account attributable to the redeemed Up-MACRO Holding Shares
in the Up-MACRO Holding Trust. If the aggregate amount of recognized capital
gain to be so allocated to all Holders who have redeemed Up-MACRO Holding
Shares
on such day is less than the excess of all such amounts received upon redemption
over all such tax basis accounts, then items of ordinary income shall be
allocated first to all such Holders up to any excess of all such amounts.
If the
aggregate amount of recognized capital gain and ordinary income to be so
allocated to all Holders who have redeemed Up-MACRO Holding Shares on such
day
is less than the excess of all such amounts received upon redemption over
all
such tax basis accounts, the entire amount of capital gain and ordinary income
for such day shall be allocated among all such Holders in the ratio that
each
such Holder's allocable share of such excess bears to the aggregate excess
of
all such Holders who redeemed any of their Up-MACRO Holding Shares on such
day.
Β
59
(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
(ii))
in the ratio that each such Holder's allocable share of such excess bears
to all
such Holders' excesses. If the aggregate amount of recognized capital gain
to be
so allocated is greater than the aggregate excess of all such Holders' Capital
Accounts over all such tax basis accounts, the excess amount of gain shall
be
allocated among all Holders in the ratio that each Holder's Capital Account
bears to all Holders' Capital Accounts.
Β
(iv)Β Items
of recognized capital loss shall be allocated first to each Holder who has
redeemed any of its Up-MACRO Holding Shares on such day up to any excess
of (A) the tax basis account attributable to the redeemed Up-MACRO Holding
Share
over
(B) the amount received upon such redemption. If the aggregate amount of
recognized capital loss to be so allocated to all Holders who have redeemed
any
Up-MACRO Holding Shares on such day is less than the aggregate excess of
all
such tax basis accounts over all such amounts received upon redemption, the
entire amount of loss for such day shall be allocated among all such Holders
in
the ratio that each such Holder's excess bears to the aggregate excess of
all
such Holders who redeemed any of their Up-MACRO Holding Shares on such
day.
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-MACRO Holding Shares shall not exceed the allocations permitted
under
Subchapter K of the Code as determined by the Depositor in its sole and absolute
discretion, whose determination shall be binding on the Holders.
Β
(c)Β The
allocation of income, gain, loss, deduction and expense for U.S. federal
income
tax purposes set forth herein is intended to allocate such items so as to
eliminate, to the extent possible, any disparity between a Holder's Capital
Account and its tax basis account, consistent with principles set forth in
Section 704(c) of the Code.
Β
Section
7.6Β Determination
of Certain Matters.
Notwithstanding anything express or implied to the contrary in this Trust
Agreement, all matters concerning the computation of Capital Accounts and
tax
basis accounts, the allocation of Net Profit (and items thereof) and Net
Loss
(and items thereof), the allocation of items of income, gain, loss, deduction
and expense for tax purposes, the adoption or modification of any accounting
procedures, any adjustments to the books and records of the Up-MACRO Holding
Trust and all matters related to liquidation and dissolution of the Up-MACRO
Holding Trust shall be determined by the Depositor, in its sole and absolute
discretion. Such determination shall be final and conclusive as to all Holders
and be in accordance with the Code and Regulations. Notwithstanding anything
expressed or implied in this Trust Agreement, in the event the Depositor,
shall
determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, that it is prudent to modify
the
manner in which the Capital Accounts and tax basis accounts, or any debits
or
credits thereto, are computed in order to effectuate the intended economic
sharing arrangement of the Holders, the Depositor may make such modification.
Allocations of Net Profit and Net Loss to a Holder's Capital Account shall
be
made for each day as soon as practicable thereafter.

Section
7.7Β No
Deficit Makeup.

the
Up-MACRO Holding Trust, no Holder shall be required to make any contribution
to
the Up-MACRO Holding Trust in respect of any deficit in such Holder's Capital
Account.
Β
Section
7.8Β U.S.
Partnership Tax Treatment.
It is
the intent of the Holders and the Depositor that the Up-MACRO Holding Trust
be
governed by the applicable provisions of Subchapter K, of Chapter 1, of the
Code. The Depositor may file such forms and make such elections as the Depositor
deems appropriate to effect such intent.

only in the event that the offers of such AP Affiliated Person
are within
the Range of the Best Yield, as defined
below.
|
Β
Β |
(b)
|
The
available market yields for purposes of calculating Best Yield
will be
based, for trades in Eligible Treasury Securities, on prices displayed
on
the applicable Bloomberg screen and, for trades in Eligible Treasury
Repurchase Agreements, general market offered yields obtained from
Bloomberg or another third-party service provider for Eligible
Treasury
Repurchase Agreements.
|
