STANDARD TERMS TO MACROSHARES PARTICIPANTS AGREEMENT
EXHIBIT 4.3
STANDARD TERMS TO
MACROSHARES PARTICIPANTS AGREEMENT
These "Standard Terms," dated as of June 23, 2008, along with each supplement hereto listed from time to time on Schedule II hereto and each relating to a different set of paired Trusts (as defined below) (each, a "Supplement"), together form a "Participants Agreement" with respect to the applicable set of Paired Trusts. Each Participants Agreement is entered into by and among the parties listed from time to time on Schedule I attached hereto (each, an "Authorized Participant" and, collectively, the "Authorized Participants"), the applicable trustee (each, a “Trustee” and collectively, the “Trustees”) listed from time to time on Schedule II attached hereto, not in its individual capacity but solely acting as trustee on behalf of the applicable set of Paired Trusts also listed from time to time on such Schedule II, the applicable depositor entity (each, a "Depositor" and, collectively, the “Depositors”) also listed from time to time on Schedule II attached hereto, and MacroMarkets LLC, not in its individual capacity but solely as administrative agent of the Paired Trusts (the "Administrative Agent"). Each Person wishing to act as an Authorized Participant with respect to one or more sets of Paired Trusts shall be required to execute the applicable Supplement for such Paired Trusts which shall incorporate these Standard Terms therein by reference.
PREAMBLE
Each trust is that is included in a set of Paired Trusts (each, “Macro Shares Trust”) will be formed pursuant to a trust agreement (each, a “MacroShares Trust Agreement” and, collectively, the “MacroShares Trust Agreements”) entered into among the applicable Trustee, the applicable Depositor, the Administrative Agent, MACRO Financial, LLC, as marketing agent (a “Marketing Agent”) and any additional marketing agents (each, also a “Marketing Agent” and, collectively, the “Marketing Agents”) listed in each case on Schedule II attached hereto. Each MacroShares Trust will either be an "Up Trust" which will issue "Up MacroShares" or a "Down Trust" which will issue "Down MacroShares" (together with the Up MacroShares, the "MacroShares"). Each related Up MacroShares Trust and Down MacroShares Trust are together referred to herein as the "Paired Trusts" or a "set of Paired Trusts" or the "applicable MacroShares Trusts." The Up MacroShares and Down MacroShares issued by a set of Paired Trusts are referred to herein as the "Paired MacroShares."
Each issuance of MacroShares will be offered pursuant to a prospectus (as amended and restated from time to time each, a "Prospectus"), the details of which are listed on Schedule II attached hereto, that shall be filed as part of a registration statement (as amended and restated from time to time, each a "Registration Statement" and collectively, the "Registration Statements"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
In accordance with these Standard Terms, the applicable Trustee, acting together with the Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Paired Trusts, may create and redeem the applicable Paired MacroShares in units of 50,000 Up MacroShares and 50,000 Down MacroShares (each such unit, a "MacroShares Unit") at the instructions of the applicable Authorized Participant and in accordance with the Applicable Procedures (as defined herein).
Under the applicable MacroShares Trust Agreements, the Administrative Agent will instruct the applicable Trustee to issue MacroShares Units to, and redeem MacroShares Units from, the applicable Authorized Participants, through the facilities of DTC or a successor depository. Each Authorized Participant may create or redeem MacroShares Units only to the extent it is an authorized participant for the Paired Trusts issuing such MacroShares Units. The entities that are Authorized Participants with respect to each existing set of Paired Trusts are specified from time to time in Schedule I attached hereto.
1
In exchange for the deposit of cash in an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price specified herein and in the applicable MacroShares Trust Agreement, an Authorized Participant may create one or more MacroShares Units. In exchange for a deposit of the applicable Paired MacroShares constituting one or more MacroShares Units, an Authorized Participant may redeem one or more such MacroShares Units for cash and/or Eligible Treasuries as further described herein. The applicable Supplement sets forth the specific procedures in accordance with which the applicable Authorized Participants may create and redeem MacroShares Units for each set of Paired Trusts.
Because new MacroShares can be created and issued on an ongoing basis on any Business Day prior to an Early Termination Date or the Final Scheduled Termination Date for the applicable Paired Trusts, a "distribution," as such term is used in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), may be occurring at any time from the applicable Closing Date through such Early Termination Date or Final Scheduled Termination Date. Each Authorized Participant is cautioned that some of its activities may result in its being deemed a participant in a distribution which would render it a statutory underwriter and subject it to the prospectus-delivery requirements and the liability provisions of the Securities Act. Each Authorized Participant should review the "Plan of Distribution" portion of the applicable Prospectus and consult with its own counsel in connection with entering into one or more Participants Agreements and placing Creation Orders or Redemption Orders (each as defined herein).
Capitalized terms used but not defined in these Standard Terms shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the MacroShares Trust Agreements for the applicable Paired Trusts. To the extent there is a conflict between any provision of these Standard Terms and the provisions of such Trust Agreements, the provisions of these Standard Terms will govern insofar as they relate to the Applicable Procedures (as defined herein) To the extent there is a conflict between any provision of these Standard Terms and the provisions of any Supplement, the provisions of such Supplement will govern with respect to the applicable set of Paired Trusts.
The parties to each such Supplement, by execution thereof, shall also be deemed to agree as follows:
Section 1.

(b)
To redeem MacroShares constituting one or more MacroShares Units for cash or for cash and/or Eligible Treasuries, Authorized Participants must follow the procedures for redemption set forth in Section 4 of these Standard Terms and the procedures for the applicable set of Paired Trusts described in the applicable Supplement (with respect to each set of Paired Trusts, the "Applicable Redemption Procedures" and, together with the Creation Procedures, the "Applicable Procedures"), as each such set of Applicable Redemption Procedures may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.

In connection with each Creation Order, the Authorized Participant shall pay to the applicable Trustee a fee (such fee, the "Creation Transaction Fee") for such creation. The initial Creation Transaction Fee shall be two thousand dollars ($2,000) for any one Creation Order relating to the creation of one or more MacroShares Units.

The initial Redemption Transaction Fee for any one Redemption Order relating to the redemption of one or more MacroShares Units for cash and/or Eligible Treasuries shall be two thousand dollars ($2,000).

The Transaction Fee may subsequently be waived, modified, reduced, increased or otherwise changed by the applicable Trustee, with the prior written consent of the applicable Depositor, and without requiring the consent of the applicable Authorized Participants at the time of such modification, but will not in any event exceed 0.10% of the value of the applicable MacroShares Unit at the time of creation or redemption, as the case may be (in each case, determined based upon the proportionate underlying value of the applicable MacroShares constituting the MacroShares Unit on the date of either the Creation Order or the Redemption Order). Promptly after agreeing to and prior to implementing such change, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Depository and each applicable Authorized Participant. The amount of the Transaction Fee in effect at any given time shall be made available by the Administrative Agent upon request.
Section 7.
Designation of Authorized Persons. Concurrently with the execution of each applicable Participants Agreement and from time to time thereafter, each Authorized Participant shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, with copies to the applicable Trustee, notarized and duly certified as appropriate by its secretary or other duly authorized official, a certificate in the form of EXHIBIT A setting forth the names and signatures of all persons authorized to give instructions relating to activity contemplated hereby or by any other notice, request or instruction given on behalf of each Authorized Participant (each, an "Authorized Person"). The Administrative Agent may accept and rely upon such certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts set forth therein and shall consider such certificate to be in full force and effect until the Administrative Agent receives a superseding certificate bearing a subsequent date. Once such a certificate has been delivered by an Authorized Participant in connection with the execution of any Participants Agreement, such Authorized Participant shall not be required to deliver similar certificates in connection with the subsequent execution of additional Participants Agreements so long as it confirms to the Administrative Agent that all information contained in the original certificate continues to be true and correct. Upon the termination or revocation of authority of any Authorized Person by the Authorized Participant, the Authorized Participant shall give immediate written notice of such fact to the Administrative Agent and such notice shall be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent. It shall be the sole responsibility of each Authorized Participant to ensure that the Administrative Agent has a true and correct list of such Authorized Participant's Authorized Persons and the Administrative Agent shall have no liability for any Orders accepted by it in reliance on inaccurate information contained in any certificate delivered by an Authorized Participant pursuant hereto. The Administrative Agent shall issue to each Authorized Person a unique personal identification number (the "PIN Number") by which such Authorized Person shall be identified and which shall be used as authentication for Orders placed by that Authorized Person. The Administrative Agent shall provide to the applicable Depositor and the applicable Trustee, if so requested, a list of the Authorized Persons and their corresponding PIN Numbers and shall promptly update such list upon any changes thereto. The PIN Number shall be kept confidential by the Authorized Participant and shall only be provided to the Authorized Person and the applicable Depositor. If, after issuance, the Authorized Person's PIN Number is changed, the new PIN Number shall become effective within two Business Days after the new PIN Number has been issued to the Authorized Person.
Section 8.
Representation regarding Securities Delivered. Each redeeming Authorized Participant represents and warrants that it will not obtain a Submission Number (as described in the Procedures) from the Administrative Agent for a Redemption Order unless such Authorized Participant first ascertains that (i) it or its customer or any other person on whose behalf it is acting, as the case may be, owns outright or has full legal authority and legal and beneficial right to tender the MacroShares and (ii) such MacroShares have not been loaned or pledged to another party and are not the subject of a repurchase agreement, securities lending agreement or any other arrangement which would preclude the delivery of such securities to the applicable Trustee on the Redemption Date.

Section 9.
Role of the Authorized Participant.
(a)
Each Authorized Participant acknowledges that, for all purposes of each applicable Participants Agreement and the applicable MacroShares Trust Agreements, it is and shall be deemed to be an independent contractor and has and shall have no authority to act as agent for the applicable Paired Trusts, the applicable Depositors, the Administrative Agent or the applicable Trustees in any matter or in any respect.

(d)

Each Authorized Participant, individually and severally, hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the applicable Paired Trusts, the applicable Trustees, the Administrative Agent, the applicable Depositors, their respective direct or indirect affiliates (as defined below) and their respective directors, officers, managers, members, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls such persons within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (each, an "AP Indemnified Party") from and against any losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorney's fees and the reasonable cost of investigation) incurred by such AP Indemnified Party as a result of or in connection with: (i) any breach by such Authorized Participant of any provisions of these Standard Terms and each applicable Supplement to which it is a party, including its representations, warranties and covenants, (ii) any failure on the part of such Authorized Participant to perform any of its obligations set forth in these Standard Terms and each applicable Supplement to which it is a party, (iii) any failure by such Authorized Participant to comply with applicable laws and the rules and regulations of self-regulatory organizations, (iv) any actions of such AP Indemnified Party in reliance upon any instructions issued in accordance with the Applicable Procedures believed by the AP Indemnified Party to be genuine and to have been given by such Authorized Participant, or (v) (A) any representation by such Authorized Participant, its employees or its agents or other representatives about any type of MacroShares or any AP Indemnified Party that is not consistent with the then-current applicable Prospectuses and is made in connection with the offer or the solicitation of an offer to buy or sell such MacroShares and (B) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Participant Written Communication described in Section 14(b) herein or any alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading to the extent that such statement or omission relates to the applicable MacroShares or any AP Indemnified Party, unless, in either case, such representation, statement or omission was made or included by the Authorized Participant at the written direction of the applicable Depositor or is based upon any omission or alleged omission by the applicable Depositor to state a material fact in connection with such representation, statement or omission necessary to make such representation, statement or omission not misleading.
8
(b)
Each MacroShares Trust hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, severally and not jointly, each Person which acts as an Authorized Participant for such MacroShares Trust, its respective subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls such persons within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (each, a "Trust Indemnified Party") from and against any losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by such Trust Indemnified Party as a result of (i) any breach by a MacroShares Trust of any provision of these Standard Term and the applicable Supplement that relates to such MacroShares Trust and to which such Authorized Participant is a party, (ii) any failure on the part of a MacroShares Trust to perform any of its obligations set forth in these Standard Terms and the applicable Supplement to which such Authorized Participant is a party or (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the applicable Prospectuses as originally filed with the SEC or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arising out of or based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except those statements in such Prospectuses based on information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the applicable Authorized Participant expressly for use in the applicable Prospectuses.
(c)
This Section 10 shall not apply to the extent any such losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses are incurred as a result of or in connection with any gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable AP Indemnified Party or the applicable Trust Indemnified Party, as the case may be. The term "affiliate" in this Section 10 shall include, with respect to any person, entity or organization, any other person, entity or organization which directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such person, entity or organization.
(d)
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is unavailable to an AP Indemnified Party under Section 10(a) or a Trust Indemnified Party under Section 10(b) or insufficient to hold an indemnified party harmless in respect of any losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the applicable MacroShares Trusts, on the one hand, and by the applicable Authorized Participants, on the other hand, from the services provided hereunder or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of each of the applicable MacroShares Trusts, on the one hand, and of each of the applicable Authorized Participants, on the other hand, in connection with, to the extent applicable, the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefit of a MacroShares Trust shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (after deducting expenses) received by that MacroShares Trust. To the extent applicable, the relative fault of a MacroShares Trust, on the one hand, and of the Authorized Participant, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by that trust or by the Authorized Participant and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses referred to in this Section 10(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any action, suit or proceeding (each, a "Proceeding") related to such losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses.
9
(e)
Each MacroShares Trust and each Authorized Participant agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 10(d) above. No Authorized Participant shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the applicable Paired MacroShares created by such Authorized Participant and distributed to the public exceeds the amount of any damage which such Authorized Participant has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(f)
The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 10 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Authorized Participant, its partners, stockholders, members, directors, officers, employees and or any person (including each partner, stockholder, member, director, officer or employee of such person) who controls an Authorized Participant within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or by or on behalf of each of the MacroShares Trusts, its managers, members, officers, employees or any person who controls the applicable Paired Trusts within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and shall survive any termination of the applicable Participants Agreement. Each MacroShares Trust and each Authorized Participant agree promptly to notify each other of the commencement of any Proceeding against either of them and, in the case of a MacroShares Trust, against the applicable Trustee or the applicable Depositor, in connection with the issuance and sale of the applicable Paired MacroShares or in connection with the applicable Registration Statement or the applicable Prospectus.
(g)
Each MacroShares Trust hereby agrees severally and not jointly to pay any Trust Indemnified Party such amounts when due under this Section 10 (including any amount in contribution thereof that may be owed to such Trust Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 10), and to pay any and all expenses (including reasonable and documented counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Trust Indemnified Party in enforcing its rights under this Section 10.
Section 11.
Limitation of Liability.
(a)
None of the Administrative Agent, any of the Depositors, any of the Trustees or any of the Authorized Participants shall be liable to each other, if applicable, or to any other Person, including any AP Indemnified Party or any other person claiming by, through or on behalf of an Authorized Participant, for any losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses arising out of any mistake or error in data or other information provided to any of them by any of the others or any other person or out of any interruption or delay in the electronic means of communications used by them.
(b)
Tax Liability. Each Authorized Participant shall be responsible for the payment of any transfer tax, sales or use tax, stamp tax, recording tax, value added tax and any other similar tax or government charge applicable to the creation or redemption of any MacroShares Unit made pursuant to these Standard Terms, regardless of whether or not such tax or charge is imposed directly on each Authorized Participant. To the extent the applicable Trustee, the Administrative Agent, the applicable Depositor or the applicable Paired Trusts are required by law to pay any such tax or charge, the applicable Authorized Participant agrees to promptly indemnify such party for any such payment, together with any applicable penalties, additions to tax or interest thereon.
10

Section 14.

(a)
Each Authorized Participant represents, warrants and covenants that, without the prior written consent of the applicable AP Indemnified Party, (i) such Authorized Participant will not make, or permit any of its Authorized Persons or its other representatives and agents to make any representations concerning any of the applicable Paired MacroShares or any AP Indemnified Party other than representations contained (A) in the then-current applicable Prospectuses, (B) in printed information approved by the applicable Depositor as information supplemental to such Prospectuses or (C) in any promotional materials or sales literature furnished to such Authorized Participant by the applicable Depositor and (ii) such Authorized Participant will not prepare, make, use, authorize, approve, disseminate or refer to any "written communication" (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act) that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy any of the MacroShares other than the then-current applicable Prospectuses. Copies of the then-current applicable Prospectuses and any such printed supplemental information will be supplied by the applicable Depositor to the Authorized Participant in reasonable quantities upon request.
(b)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Authorized Participant may, without the written approval of the applicable AP Indemnified Party, prepare and circulate to one or more of its potential investors one or more "written communications" (as defined under Rule 405 under the Securities Act) containing no more than the following: information contemplated by Rule 134 under the Securities Act ("Rule 134 Information") which is consistent with the then-current applicable prospectuses and information included in the then-current applicable prospectuses (a "Participant Free Writing Prospectus," and together with Rule 134 Information, the "Participant Written Communication").
11
(c)
Each Authorized Participant severally represents, warrants, covenants and agrees with the applicable Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Depositor that:
(i)
each Participant Written Communication prepared by it will not, as of the date such Participant Written Communication was conveyed or delivered to any prospective purchaser of MacroShares, include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that no Authorized Participant makes such representation, warranty or agreement to the extent such misstatements or omissions were the result of any inaccurate information which was included in the Prospectuses or any written information furnished to the related Authorized Participant by the applicable Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Depositor expressly for use therein, which information was not corrected by information subsequently filed with the SEC or by such information subsequently delivered by the applicable Trustee, the Administrative Agent or the applicable Depositor to the related Authorized Participant prior to the time of use of such Participant Written Communication;
(ii)
each item of Rule 134 Information prepared by it shall contain a legend substantially in the form of and in compliance with Rule 134(b) or (d) of the Securities Act, as applicable, and shall otherwise conform to all of the requirements of Rule 134 under the Securities Act;
(iii)
each Participant Free Writing Prospectus prepared by it shall contain a legend substantially in the form of and in compliance with Rule 433(c)(2)(i) of the Securities Act, shall be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Authorized Participant in accordance with Rule 433(d) and shall otherwise conform to all of the requirements for "Free Writing Prospectus" (as defined under Rule 405 under the Securities Act) under the Securities Act; and
(iv)
each Participant Free Writing Prospectus prepared by it shall be delivered to the applicable Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Depositor no later than the time of first use and, unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Depositor and the related Authorized Participant, such delivery shall occur no later than the close of business for the applicable MacroShares Trust (Eastern Time) on the date of first use; provided, however, if the date of first use is not a Business Day, such delivery shall occur no later than the close of business for the applicable MacroShares Trust (Eastern Time) on the first Business Day preceding such date of first use.
(d)
Each Authorized Participant severally represents and agrees (i) that it did not enter into any contract of sale for any MacroShare prior to the initial time of sale as determined by the applicable Depositor (the "Initial Time of Sale") and (ii) that it will, at any time that such Authorized Participant is acting as an "underwriter" (as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act) with respect to any type of MacroShare, deliver to each investor to whom the MacroShares are offered a copy of the then-current applicable Prospectuses as required under the Securities Act.
12
(e)
Each Authorized Participant hereby agrees that, for the term of these Standard Terms, the applicable Depositor may deliver the then-current Prospectuses, and any supplements or amendments thereto or recirculation thereof, to such Authorized Participant in Portable Document Format ("PDF") via electronic mail in lieu of delivering the Prospectuses in paper form. Each Authorized Participant may revoke the foregoing agreement at any time by delivering written notice to the applicable Depositor and the Administrative Agent and, whether or not such agreement is in effect, each Authorized Participant may, at any time, request reasonable quantities of the applicable Prospectuses, and any supplements or amendments thereto or recirculation thereof, in paper form from the applicable Depositor. Each Authorized Participant acknowledges that it has the capability to access, view, save and print material provided to it in PDF and that it will incur no appreciable extra costs by receiving the applicable Prospectuses in PDF instead of in paper form.
(f)
For as long as these Standard Terms is effective, each applicable Authorized Participant agrees to be identified as an authorized participant of the applicable Paired Trusts (i) in the section of the applicable Prospectuses included within the relevant Registration Statements entitled "Plan of Distribution" and in any other section as may be required by the SEC, (ii) in any SEC filing as may be required under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and (iii) on any website relating to the applicable Paired Trusts.
Section 15.
Certain Covenants of the Depositor. The applicable Depositor covenants and agrees:
(a)
to advise each applicable Authorized Participant promptly of the happening of any event during the term of these Standard Terms which could require the making of any change in the Prospectuses then being used so that such Prospectuses would not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, and, during such time, to prepare and furnish, at the expense of the applicable Paired Trusts, to each Authorized Participant promptly such amendments or supplements to such Prospectuses as may be necessary to reflect any such change;
(b)
on behalf of each of the applicable Paired Trusts, to file a post-effective amendment to their respective Registration Statements no less frequently than once per calendar quarter on or about the same time that the applicable Depositor files a quarterly or annual report pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (including the information contained in such report), until such time as the applicable Paired Trusts' reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act are incorporated by reference in the applicable Registration Statement.
Section 16.
Addition and Removal of Authorized Participants.
(a)
On any Business Day, (i) any Person who satisfies the requirements set forth in Section 2 of these Standard Terms may notify the Administrative Agent in writing of its desire to become a party to the Participants Agreement with respect to one, several or all of the Paired Trusts then in existence; and (ii) any Person who is already an Authorized Participant under one or more Participants Agreements may notify the Administrative Agent of its desire to become an Authorized Participant with respect to additional existing sets of Paired Trusts or newly-formed sets of Paired Trusts. The Administrative Agent shall review such Person's request, and if such Person is acceptable to the applicable Depositors and the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, a revised Schedule I hereto and shall request such Person to execute the applicable Supplement or Supplements. Each Authorized Participant acknowledges and agrees that its execution and delivery of each applicable Participants Agreement shall not be required to bind any existing or future Authorized Participant to the terms and conditions set forth in each such Participants Agreement. With regard to any application to become an additional party to any Participants Agreement, the applicable Trustees shall use commercially reasonable efforts to submit on behalf of such Person an application to create an account at DTC pursuant to which it can effectuate creations and/or redemptions in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. To the extent required under the Exchange Act, the applicable Depositors shall file, within four (4) Business Days of the addition of an Authorized Participant with respect to one, several or all of the Paired Trusts, a Form 8-K for each of the applicable Paired Trusts disclosing the addition of a new Authorized Participant for such Paired Trusts.
13
(b)
An Authorized Participant may terminate its role as an authorized participant with respect to one, several or all of the Paired Trusts by notifying the Administrative Agent in writing of its desire to do so thirty days prior to the proposed date of effectiveness of any such termination. Following receipt of such written notification, the Administrative Agent shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, an amendment to Schedule I hereto and shall cause the signature of the Authorized Participant to be struck through on the signature pages for the applicable Supplement for each set of Paired Trusts with respect to which such Authorized Participant no longer wishes to act in such capacity. Each Authorized Participant acknowledges and agrees that the termination of an entity as an authorized participant under any Participants Agreement shall not affect in any manner the obligations of the remaining Authorized Participants to such Participants Agreement. The Authorized Participant's written notification of termination, sent in accordance with the requirements of Section 20(c), shall be dispositive proof of its termination as an Authorized Participant with respect to one, several or all of the Paired Trusts, as applicable. To the extent required under the Exchange Act, the applicable Depositors shall file, within four (4) Business Days of the termination of an Authorized Participant with respect to one, several or all of the Paired Trusts, a Form 8-K for each of the applicable Paired Trusts disclosing the termination of such Authorized Participant with respect to such Paired Trusts.
Section 17.
Third Party Beneficiaries. Each AP Indemnified Party, to the extent it is not a party to these Standard Terms, is a third-party beneficiary of these Standard Terms (each, a "Third Party Beneficiary") and may proceed directly against each applicable Authorized Participant (including by bringing proceedings against each such Authorized Participant in its own name) to enforce any obligation of such Authorized Participant under these Standard Terms which directly or indirectly benefits such Third Party Beneficiary.
Section 18.
Force Majeure. No party to these Standard Terms shall incur any liability for any delay in performance, or for the non-performance, of any of its obligations under these Standard Terms by reason of any cause beyond its reasonable control. This includes any act of God or war or terrorism, any breakdown, malfunction or failure of transmission in connection with or other unavailability of any wire, communication or computer facilities, any transport, port or airport disruption, industrial action, acts and regulations and rules of any governmental or supra-national bodies or authorities or regulatory or self-regulatory organization or failure of any such body, authority or organization for any reason, to perform its obligations.
Section 19.
Ambiguous Instructions. If any Creation or Redemption Order otherwise in good form contains order terms that differ from the information provided in the telephone call at the time of issuance of the applicable order number, the Administrative Agent will attempt to contact one of the Authorized Persons of the Authorized Participant to request confirmation of the terms of the Order. If an Authorized Person confirms the terms as they appear in the Order, then the Order will be accepted and processed. If an Authorized Person contradicts the Order terms, the Order will be deemed invalid, and a corrected Order must be received by the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, not later than within fifteen (15) minutes of such contact with the Authorized Person. If the Administrative Agent is not able to contact an Authorized Person, then the Order shall be accepted and processed in accordance with its terms notwithstanding any inconsistency from the terms of the telephone information. In the event that an Order contains terms that are illegible, the Order will be deemed invalid and the Administrative Agent will attempt to contact one of the Authorized Persons of the Authorized Participant to request retransmission of the Order. A corrected Order must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than within fifteen (15) minutes of such contact with the Authorized Person. The Administrative Agent will incur no liabilities under this Section 19.
14
Section 20.
Miscellaneous.
(a)
Amendment and Modification. Each Participants Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented by the applicable Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Depositor without the consent of any holder of the applicable MacroShares or the applicable Authorized Participants that are party to such Participants Agreement; provided, however, that no amendment may be made which would (i) alter the status of any MacroShares Trust as a partnership for federal income tax purposes or (ii) cause any MacroShares Trust to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (iii) cause or potentially cause the assets of any MacroShares Trust to constitute "plan assets" within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). After the amendment, modification or supplement has been agreed to, the Administrative Agent shall mail a copy of such amendment, modification or supplement to each applicable Authorized Participant. The Administrative Agent may also deliver such amendment, modification or supplement hereto by electronic mail; provided, however, that physical delivery via the United States postal system or similar system shall be required. For the purposes of these Standard Terms, mail will be deemed received by the recipient thereof on the third (3rd) calendar day following the deposit of such mail into the United States postal system or similar system. Within ten (10) calendar days after its deemed receipt, the amendment, modification or supplement will become part of these Standard Terms, the Attachments or the Exhibits, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms.
(b)
Waiver of Compliance. Any failure of any of the parties to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein may be waived by the party entitled to the benefits thereof only by a written instrument signed by the party granting such waiver, but any such written waiver, or the failure to insist upon strict compliance with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein, shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.
(c)

(e)
Assignment. Neither these Standard Terms nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the other applicable parties, except that any entity into which a party hereto may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such party hereunder shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the business of the party, shall be the successor of the party under these Standard Terms. The party resulting from any such merger, conversion, consolidation or succession shall notify the other parties hereto of the change. Any purported assignment in violation of the provisions hereof shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, these Standard Terms shall be automatically assigned to any successor Trustee, Administrative Agent or Depositor at such time such successor qualifies as a successor Trustee, Administrative Agent or Depositor under the terms of the applicable MacroShares Trust Agreements.
(f)
Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. These Standard Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York as to all matters, including matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and of any federal court located in the Borough of Manhattan in such state in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding arising out of or relating to these Standard Terms or any action taken or omitted hereunder, and waives any claim of forum non conveniens and any objections as to laying of venue. Each party further waives personal service of any summons, complaint or other process and agrees that service thereof may be made by certified or registered mail directed to such party at such party's address for purposes of notices hereunder.
(g)

(h)
Interpretation. The section, paragraph and other subdivision headings contained in these Standard Terms are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the parties and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of these Standard Terms.
(i)
Entire Agreement. These Standard Terms and the applicable MacroShares Trust Agreements, along with any other agreement or instrument delivered pursuant to these Standard Terms and the applicable MacroShares Trust Agreements, supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the applicable parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided however, that none of the Authorized Participants shall be deemed by this provision to be a party to any of the MacroShares Trust Agreements.
16
(j)
Severance. If any provision of any Participants Agreement is held by any court or any act, regulation, rule or decision of any other governmental or supra-national body or authority or regulatory or self-regulatory organization to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, it shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable only to the extent so held and shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the other provisions of such Participants Agreement and such Participants Agreement will be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein, unless any Depositor determines in its discretion, after consulting with the applicable Trustee and the Administrative Agent, that the provision of such Participants Agreement that was held invalid, illegal or unenforceable does affect the validity, legality or enforceability of one or more other provisions of such Participants Agreement, and such Participants Agreement with respect to the applicable Paired Trusts should not be continued without the provision that was held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, and in that case, upon the applicable Depositor's notification of the applicable Trustee and the Administrative Agent of such a determination, such Participants Agreement with respect to such Paired Trusts shall immediately terminate and the Administrative Agent will so notify each applicable Authorized Participants immediately.
(k)
No Strict Construction. The language used in these Standard Terms will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party.
(l)

(m)
Other Usages. The following usages shall apply in interpreting these Standard Terms: (i) references to a governmental or quasi-governmental agency, authority or instrumentality shall also refer to a regulatory body that succeeds to the functions of such agency, authority or instrumentality; and (ii) "including" means "including, but not limited to."

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below and in the Standard Terms, the parties hereto, by execution hereof, hereby agree as follows:

General.
The provisions of this Supplement set forth the procedures in accordance with which an Authorized Participant may create and redeem one or more MacroShares Units consisting of at least 50,000 MacroShares $100 Oil Up Shares (the "Up MacroShares") and 50,000 MacroShares $100 Oil Down Shares (the "Down MacroShares" and, together with the Up MacroShares, the "Paired MacroShares"). The Paired MacroShares may only be created and redeemed by Authorized Participants who are party to this Supplement and only in accordance with the procedures specified herein.
Section 2.
Netting.
The Paired Shares will be created and redeemed on a net basis daily with respect to all Orders received from all Authorized Participants on such date. In the event that the number of MacroShares Units to be created based on the Creation Orders received on such date exceeds the number of MacroShares Units to be redeemed based on the Redemption Orders received on such date, the number of MacroShares Units that will be issued will be equal to the total number of MacroShares Units created minus the total number of MacroShares Units redeemed. Similarly, in the event that the number of MacroShares Units to be redeemed based on the Redemption Orders received on such date exceeds the number of MacroShares Units to be created based on the Creation Orders received on such date, the actual number of MacroShares Units that will be issued will be zero. The Settlement Contracts created on each date, if any, any adjustment to the notional amount of the Income Distribution Agreement and the purchase of new Eligible Treasuries, if any, will also be done on a net basis daily, in accordance to the daily netting of Creation Orders and Redemption Orders for MacroShares Units (such netting, collectively, the "Net Daily Basis").
Section 3.
Authorized Persons.
Upon execution of this Supplement by an Authorized Participant, the Administrative Agent will assign a personal identification number (a "PIN Number") to each Authorized Person authorized to act on behalf of an Authorized Participant. An Authorized Participant may place Creation Orders and Redemption Orders through its Authorized Person(s). If one or more Authorized Persons of any Authorized Participant were previously assigned PIN Numbers in connection with entering into any other Supplement, such PIN Numbers will continue to be valid for purposes of this Supplement, unless otherwise agreed by the Authorized Participant and the Administrative Agent.

Section 4.
Rejection of Orders; Suspension and Postponement of Settlement. Any Order is subject to rejection in the discretion of the Administrative Agent for the reasons set forth in the Standard Terms. Any Order is subject to mandatory postponement of settlement and the right to place Orders is subject to suspension, in each case, in the circumstances described in the Standard Terms.
Section 5.
Creation of Macroshares.
(a)
On any Price Determination Day (such day, an "Issuance Order Date" or "T"), by the earlier of (i) thirty (30) minutes prior to the close of trading of the Light Sweet Crude Oil Futures Contracts on the New York Mercantile Exchange (the "NYMEX") and (ii) the unanticipated close of trading of the Light Sweet Crude Oil Futures Contracts on the NYMEX (such time, the "Order Cut-Off Time"), an Authorized Participant may submit a Creation Order, substantially in the form of EXHIBIT B to the Standard Terms (or to the extent that such order is electronic, such order shall include the information set forth on such exhibit), to the Administrative Agent to create one or more MacroShares Units. Any Creation Order that is placed after the Order Cut-Off Time may be rejected by the Administrative Agent. If so rejected, any such Creation Order may be resubmitted on the next Price Determination Day based on the aggregate Underlying Value of the Paired MacroShares on such Price Determination Day.
(b)
Each Creation Order, whether submitted in physical form or electronically, shall set forth the following information:
(i)
the Authorized Participant's phone number and e-mail address;
(ii)
the Authorized Person's name and PIN Number; and
(iii)
the number of MacroShares Units being created.
(c)
Within fifteen (15) minutes of receipt of the Authorized Participant's Creation Order through the Administrative Agent's automated electronic system or in physical form (and no later than 2:15 p.m. New York City time) on T, the Administrative Agent's automated electronic system shall, provided such Creation Order was received in accordance with the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), send a notice to the Authorized Participant confirming the receipt of such Creation Order and including a submission number (a "Submission Number") relating to such Creation Order.
(d)

The transmission of the Order File shall be conducted on a best efforts basis.
(v)
By 5:00 p.m. New York City time on T, the Administrative Agent shall confirm the Order File and send any corrections to the Trustee and the Authorized Participants who have submitted Creation Orders on T.
2
(vi)
By 7:00 p.m. New York City time on T, the Administrative Agent shall send an authenticated electronic message to the Authorized Participants who have submitted Creation Orders on T, with a copy to the Trustee, indicating:
(i)
the Transaction Fee for the MacroShares Units being created;
(ii)
the aggregate Underlying Value of the Up MacroShares being created, as measured on T and the aggregate Underlying Value of the Down MacroShares being created, as measured on T (such deposits for each MacroShares Unit, the "MacroShares Unit Deposit"); and
(iii)
in the event that T is a Distribution Date or the Business Day following a Distribution Date, the sum of the Up and Down Earned Income Accruals for the intervening days between the Issuance Order Date and the related Issuance Date (as defined in clause (h) below) (each calculated on the basis of the Applicable Reference Price of Crude Oil on the Issuance Order Date) (such sum, the "MacroShares Unit Deposit Addition").
(g)
Each Creation Order will be settled on T+1 (meaning on the next Price Determination Day following the Issuance Order Date), unless T is a Distribution Date (an "X Date") or the Business Day following a Distribution Date (an "X+1 Date"), in which case the Creation Order will be settled on T+3 (meaning on the third Price Determination Day following the Issuance Order Date).
(h)
By 10:00 a.m. New York City on T+1 or, in the event that T is an X Date or an X+1 Date, on T+3 (the "Issuance Date"), the Authorized Participant shall have wired the MacroShares Unit Deposit and, if applicable, the MacroShares Unit Deposit Addition to the accounts of each of the Paired Trusts and the Transaction Fee to the Trustee's account using the Federal Wire Electronic Transfer System.
(i)
By 10:30 a.m. New York City time on the Issuance Date, if the Trustee has not received the MacroShares Unit Deposit, the MacroShares Unit Deposit Addition, if applicable, and the Transaction Fee, the Trustee shall contact the Authorized Participant to inquire about any missing amounts. If the Trustee does not receive the full amount required, the Creation Order shall not be settled.
(j)
By 12:00 p.m. New York City time on the Issuance Date, if the Trustee has not received the full amount of funds and a Federal Reference Number (or other form of authenticated confirmation) for such transfer, then the Administrative Agent shall notify the Authorized Participant that it has failed to deliver the required funds to the Paired Trusts. The deficient Authorized Participant shall immediately wire the required funds through the Federal Wire Electronic Transfer System or its order may be cancelled and it will incur any costs associated with such cancellation, as determined by the Administrative Agent.
(k)
Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 5 on the Issuance Date, the Administrative Agent shall instruct the Trustee to allocate from the applicable Netting Account available MacroShares and, in the event that there are insufficient such shares in the applicable Netting Account, instruct the Trustees to cause the Paired Trusts to issue Paired Shares and deliver such shares to the creating Authorized Participants' accounts at the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") by means of the DWAC process to settle the Creation Orders submitted on T, by not later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time on T+1 (or on T+3 if T is an X Date or an X+1 Date). The Trustee, upon written instruction from the Administrative Agent, shall adjust, on a Net Daily Basis, the notional amount of the Income Distribution Agreement and enter, if applicable, into additional Settlement Contracts associated with the MacroShares Units being created.

(d)
By 3:00 p.m. New York City time on T, the Administrative Agent shall send to the Trustee an electronic file indicating the Redemption Orders received from Authorized Participants on T prior to the Order Cut-Off Time (such file, the "Order File").

4
(g)
Each Redemption Order will be settled on T+1 (meaning on the next Price Determination Day following the Redemption Order Date), unless T is a Distribution Date (an "X Date") or the Business Day following a Distribution Date (an "X+1 Date"), in which case the Redemption Order will be settled on T+3 (meaning on the third Price Determination Day following the Redemption Order Date).
(h)
By 10:00 a.m. New York City on T+1 or, in the event that T is an X Date or an X+1 Date, on T+3 (the "Redemption Date"), the Authorized Participant must deposit (i) the Transaction Fee into the Trustee's account and the Redemption Cash Component, if any, into the applicable accounts of the Paired Trusts as designated by the Trustee using the Federal Wire Electronic Transfer System and (ii) Up MacroShares and Down MacroShares constituting one or more MacroShares Units into the applicable accounts of the Paired Trusts using the DWAC process of the DTC system.
