of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares hereunder.
(c) Due Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance
of this Trust Agreement by the Depositor, the execution and delivery to

(d) No Conflict. The execution and delivery by the Depositor
of this Trust Agreement and the Up-MACRO Holding Shares, the performance
by the Depositor of the transactions contemplated by this Trust Agreement
and the fulfillment by the Depositor of the terms hereof will not conflict
with, result in any breach of any of the material terms and provisions of,
or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a material
default under, any indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of
trust, or other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which
it or any of its properties are bound.

issuance of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares or the consummation of any of the

Shares, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that, in the reasonable
judgment of the Depositor, would materially and adversely affect the
performance by the Depositor of its obligations under this Trust
Agreement, (iv) seeking any determination or ruling that would materially

Agreement or the Up-MACRO Holding Shares or (v) seeking to affect
adversely the income tax attributes of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust under
the federal or applicable state income or franchise tax systems.
(g) All Consents Required. All approvals, authorizations,
consents, orders or other actions of any Person or of any Governmental
Authority required in connection with the execution and delivery by the
Depositor of this Trust Agreement and the Up-MACRO Holding Shares, the

Trust Agreement and its obligations hereunder and the Up-MACRO Holding
Shares and the fulfillment by the Depositor of the terms hereof and
thereof have been obtained.

respect to the Depositor has occurred which would materially and adversely
affect the validity or enforceability of this Trust Agreement or the
Up-MACRO Holding Shares.
(i) Binding Obligation. This Trust Agreement constitutes a

the Depositor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect which affect
the enforcement of creditors' rights in general, and except as such
enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether
considered in a suit at law or in equity).
(j) No Conflicting Claim. Neither the Depositor nor any Person
claiming through or under the Depositor has any claim to or interest in
the Securities Account, the Distribution Account or the Netting Account.
The representations and warranties of the Depositor set forth in

representations and warranties by the Depositor set forth in this Section 2.4,
the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other

Administrative Agent in attempting to cure any such breach.
Section 2.5 Form of Shares; Book-Entry System; Transferability of
Up-MACRO Holding Shares.
(a) 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
24
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.
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.
(b) 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:
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.
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.
25
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.
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.
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.
(c) 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.
(d) 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
26
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.
(e) Registration of Transfer; Restrictions on Transfer.
(i) 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.
(ii) 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.
27
(iii) 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).
(f) 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.

described in this Section 4.3(b) (including, without limitation, with
respect to an Early Termination Date) by assuming that the Applicable
Reference Price of Crude Oil for any Price Determination Day on which such
price was not available or on which the Up-MACRO Holding Trust was no
longer permitted to use such price was the same as the Applicable
Reference Price of Crude Oil on the last preceding Price Determination Day
on which such price was available or permitted to be used by the Up-MACRO
Holding Trust.
40
(c) The Trustee shall confirm the Administrative Agent's
determination of the Redemption Cash Component, if any, that must be
delivered by the redeeming Authorized Participants in connection with a
Paired Optional Redemption not later than the Redemption Order Date for
such Paired Optional Redemption.

in accordance with Section 5.4 hereunder;
(iii) third, if such Distribution Date is an Early
Termination Date or the Final Scheduled Termination Date, to
segregate all funds remaining after satisfying priorities first and
second of this Section 5.2(a) and apply such funds (A) to make the
Up-MACRO Settlement Payment to the Down-MACRO Holding Trust if any
such payment is owed under the Settlement Contracts being settled on
such date and then (B) to make a Final Distribution to the Holders
of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares being redeemed on such date;
(iv) fourth, for reinvestment in Eligible Treasuries of
an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Up-MACRO Aggregate Par
Amount on such Distribution Date (adjusted for any Paired Issuances
and/or Paired Optional Redemptions that are being concurrently
settled), and (y) all funds remaining after satisfying priorities
first through third of this Section 5.2(a);
(v) fifth, for making the Up-MACRO Income Distribution
Payment to the Down-MACRO Holding Trust, if such a payment is due

Holders of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares who are listed on the books
and records of the Depository as Beneficial Owners on the related
Record Date.
(b) Quarterly Distributions. On the Distribution Payment Date
that follows each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute to each
Person who was a Registered Owner of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares as of the

Distribution provided for under priority sixth of clause (a) above in
cash, for delivery thereof by the Depository to each Person who was a
Beneficial Owner of Up-MACRO Holding Shares on such Record Date.
(c) Final Distributions.
(i) On the Distribution Payment Date that follows the
Final Scheduled Termination Date or an Early Termination Date, the
Trustee shall distribute to each Person who was a Registered Owner
of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares as of the Record Date that preceded
such Distribution Payment Date the Final Distribution provided for
under priority third of clause (a) above in cash, for delivery
thereof by the Depository to each Person who was a Beneficial Owner
of Up-MACRO Holding Shares on such Record Date.
(ii) On the Redemption Date for a Paired Optional
Redemption directed on a Distribution Date, the Trustee shall
distribute to each Authorized Participant who directed such Paired
Optional Redemption the Final Distribution provided for under
priority third of clause (a) above in cash.
(iii) On the settlement date for any Paired Optional
Redemption directed on any Redemption Order Date that was not a
Distribution Date the Trustee shall distribute the Final
Distribution for such Redemption Order Date to each Authorized
Participant who directed such Paired Optional Redemption using cash
and/or Eligible Treasuries, as directed by the Administrative Agent.
In the event that insufficient cash is on deposit in the Netting
Account and the Distribution Account to effect any Paired Optional
Redemption, the Trustee, as instructed by the Administrative Agent,
will identify a portion of the Eligible Treasuries on deposit in the
Securities Account such that the Value of the Eligible Treasuries so
identified is equal to the product of the applicable Up-MACRO
Redemption Percentage for such Paired Optional Redemption and the
Up-MACRO Asset Amount on the Redemption Order Date or the portion
thereof that is not available to be delivered in cash. The Trustee,
as instructed by the Administrative Agent, will then deliver
Eligible Treasuries and cash with a Value equal to the Up-MACRO
Settlement Payment that is owed, if any, under each Settlement
Contract that is being settled in connection with such Paired
Optional Redemption to the Down-MACRO Holding Trustee and deliver
the remaining Eligible Treasuries that were segregated, together
with the Down-MACRO Settlement Payment, if any, that was received
from the Down-MACRO Holding Trust, to the Authorized Participants
who delivered the Redemption Order on such Redemption Order Date in
accordance with the procedures specified in Section 6.1(d).
Section 5.3 Payment of Expenses. On each Distribution Payment Date
(or, at the direction of the Administrative Agent, on any Business Day occurring

Paired Issuances; and
(ix) any other expenses of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust or
the Up-MACRO Tradeable Trust not otherwise described above which are
incurred by either trust, or on behalf of either trust by the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Up-MACRO Tradeable Trustee, and the
Administrative Agent pursuant to actions permitted or required under
this Trust Agreement, the Up-MACRO Tradeable Trust Agreement or the
service provider fee letters, as applicable.
The Trustee shall be responsible for recording all expenses incurred
by it on behalf of, or in the course of, administering the Up-MACRO Holding
Trust.
To the extent that funds on deposit in the Fee Payment Account are
insufficient to pay all of the foregoing expenses, each of Claymore Securities,
Inc., MacroMarkets LLC and MACRO Financial, LLC shall waive their respective
fees, as provided in Section 5.4 hereof. In the event that any expenses remain
unpaid after Claymore Securities, Inc., MacroMarkets LLC and MACRO Financial,
LLC have each waived their respective fees in full, the Depositor shall pay the
unpaid portion of such Up-MACRO Expenses on behalf of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust
and the Up-MACRO Tradeable Trust.
43

at the direction of the Administrative Agent, on any Business Day occurring
during any Calculation Period), after all Up-MACRO Expenses have been paid, the
Trustee, on behalf of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust, shall apply the remaining
funds on deposit in the Fee Payment Account to pay the following fees
(collectively, the "Up-MACRO Fees"):
(i) to the Trustee, the Up-MACRO Trustee Fee that has

To the extent that funds on deposit in the Fee Payment Account are
insufficient to pay all of the foregoing fees, each of Claymore Securities,
Inc., MacroMarkets LLC and MACRO Financial, LLC shall waive their respective
fees, ratably based upon the amount of the fees due to each of them (provided,
that MacroMarkets LLC shall not waive the Up-MACRO Sublicensing Fee and amounts
that Claymore Securities, Inc. has paid on behalf of the trusts to third-party
service providers). In the event that any fees remain unpaid after Claymore
Securities, Inc., MacroMarkets LLC and MACRO Financial, LLC have each waived
their respective fees in full, the Depositor shall be required to pay such
unpaid fees on behalf of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust and the Up-MACRO Tradeable
Trust.

from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account,
44
if any such payment is owed by the Up-MACRO Holding Trust with respect to
the related Distribution Date, as calculated pursuant to Section 4.3(a)

such Distribution Date or on any subsequent date and no interest shall
accrue on any such unpaid amounts.
(b) On each Distribution Payment Date, Trustee shall deposit
any Down-MACRO Income Distribution Payment received from the Down-MACRO

Distribution Account for application in accordance with Section 5.2(a) on
such Distribution Date.

ARTICLE 6
REDEMPTIONS AND ISSUANCES OF HOLDING SHARES;
THE ADMINISTRATION AND REINVESTMENT OF THE ELIGIBLE TREASURIES
Section 6.1 Paired Optional Redemptions.
(a) On any Price Determination Day occurring after the Closing
Date but prior to the Final Scheduled Termination Date or an Early
Termination Date, any Authorized 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
45
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.
(b) 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 clause (e)
of this Section 6.1, and provide written or electronic evidence of the
required transfer of shares and the required deposit of immediately
available funds to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the
Participants Agreement.
(c) The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, reject
any Redemption Order (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).
(d) 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
46
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:
(i) 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);
(ii) (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
(iii) 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.
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.
(e) 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.
(f) 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
47
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 of Section 5.2(a).
Section 6.2 Paired Issuances.
(a) On any Price Determination Day that occurs after the
Closing Date but prior to the Final Scheduled Termination Date or an Early
Termination Date, the Up-MACRO Holding Trust shall issue additional
Up-MACRO Holding Shares contemporaneously 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 Date and the Issuance Date,
calculated on the basis of the Applicable Reference Price of Crude Oil on
the Issuance Order Date.
(b) Subject to the procedures and requirements specified in
the Participants Agreement, a Paired Issuance may be made only upon the
direction of one or more Authorized Participants delivered in the form of
a Creation Order to the Administrative 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 of the Light Sweet Crude Oil Futures Contracts or of the
Substitute Reference Oil Price. Any Creation Order received by the
Administrative Agent after the time specified in the foregoing sentence
will automatically be cancelled. Subject to the requirements and
limitations set forth herein and in the Participants Agreement, the number
of Up-MACRO Holding Shares that the Up-MACRO Holding Trust may issue as
part of a Paired Issuance is unlimited.
(c) The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, reject
any Creation Order (i) if the Administrative Agent determines that the
Creation Order is not in the required form, (ii) if the Trustee notifies
the Administrative Agent that the Authorized Participant directing the
Paired Issuance has not deposited 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
48
or by 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.
(d) A non-refundable transaction fee will be payable to the
Trustee for its own account in connection with each Creation Order in the
amount specified in Section 7 of the Participants Agreement. In the event
that a Creation 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 Issuance pursuant thereto,
and any reimbursement of such expenses cannot be obtained from the
Authorized Participant who delivered the Creation 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.
Section 6.3 Settlement of the Settlement Contracts; Adjustments to
the Notional Amount of the Income Distribution Agreement.
(a) In connection with a Paired Optional Redemption directed
on a Redemption Date that is not also an Issuance Date, the Trustee,
acting together with the Down-MACRO Holding Trustee, each on behalf of its
respective Paired Holding Trust and at the direction of the Administrative
Agent, will settle one Settlement Contract for each MACRO Unit that is
redeemed and amend the Income Distribution Agreement to reduce the
notional amount thereof to reflect the decrease in the Aggregate Par
Amount of Up-MACRO and Down-MACRO Holding Shares that are Outstanding.
(b) In connection with a Paired Issuance directed on an
Issuance Date that is not also a Redemption Date, the Trustee, acting
together with the Down-MACRO Holding Trustee, each on behalf of its
respective Paired Holding Trust and at the direction of the Administrative
Agent, will enter into one Settlement Contract for each MACRO Unit that is
created and amend the Income Distribution Agreement to increase the
notional amount thereof to reflect the increase in the Aggregate Par
Amount of Up-MACRO and Down-MACRO Holding Shares that are Outstanding.
(c) In connection with any Paired Optional Redemptions and
Paired Issuances for which Redemption Orders and Creation Orders, as
applicable, are received on the same Business Day, the Trustee, acting
together with the Down-MACRO Holding Trustee, each on behalf of its
respective Paired Holding Trust and at the direction of the Administrative
Agent, shall (i) amend the Income Distribution Agreement to increase or
decrease the notional amount thereof based on the Net Par Amount Increase
or Net Par Amount Decrease that was directed on such Business Day, and
(ii) enter into additional Settlement Contracts, based on the Net Par
Amount Increase that was directed on such Business Day or settle existing
Settlement Contracts, based on the Net Par Amount Decrease that was
directed on such Business Day.
(d) Each amendment to the Income Distribution Agreement shall
be in the form of Exhibit B hereto, and each Settlement Contract shall be
in the form of Exhibit C hereto and shall constitute an additional
confirmation to the Master Agreement. The original, executed Income
Distribution Agreement, each amendment thereto and each original,
49
executed Settlement Contract shall be maintained by the Trustee among the
books and records it keeps on behalf of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust.
(e) In connection with each Paired Optional Redemption, each
Paired Issuance and each Exchange Order, Schedule A of one or more of the
Global Certificates will be adjusted (and, if necessary, additional Global
Certificates will be issued) to reflect the Net Par Amount Decrease or the
Net Par Amount Increase, as applicable, in the Aggregate Par Amount of the
Up-MACRO Holding Shares that are Outstanding after giving effect to such
Paired Optional Redemption Paired Issuance and/or Exchange Orders. On the
Final Scheduled Termination Date or an Early Termination Date, after a
Final Distribution has been made on the Up-MACRO Holding Shares, all of
such Up-MACRO Holding Shares shall be cancelled by the Trustee, on behalf
of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust, in accordance with the procedures of the
Depository. On any Redemption Date on which a Net Par Amount Decrease
occurred, Up-MACRO Holding Shares in an amount equal to such Net Par
Amount Decrease shall be cancelled by the Trustee, on behalf of the
Up-MACRO Holding Trust, in accordance with the procedures of the
Depository.
Section 6.4 Settlement of Redemptions. On the Business Day after the
applicable Redemption Order Date or, in the event that the Redemption Order Date
is a Distribution Date or the Business Day following the Distribution Date, on
the third Business Day after the Redemption Order Date (such date, the
"Redemption Date"), not later than 10:00 a.m. New York City Time, the Authorized
Participant directing the Paired Optional Redemption must deliver (i) to the
Trustee's account at the Depository the Paired Holding Shares or the Tradeable
Shares being tendered for redemption which together form at least one MACRO Unit
or integral multiples thereof, (ii) to the Trustee in immediately available
funds, the applicable Redemption Cash Component, if the Authorized Participant
has been notified that a Redemption Cash Component is required, and (iii) to the
Trustee in immediately available funds, the non-refundable transaction fee
described in Section 6.1(e). Following receipt by the Administrative Agent of
electronic confirmation of the requisite tender of shares and receipt by the
Trustee of the applicable Redemption Cash Component, if any, and the transaction
fee, and satisfaction of the procedures and conditions for a Paired Optional
Redemption that are specified in the Participants Agreement, and no later than
the day and time specified in the Participants Agreement, the Trustee, acting
together with the Down-MACRO Holding Trustee, each on behalf of its respective
Paired Holding Trust and as directed by the Administrative Agent, shall cause
each of the Paired Holding Trusts to deliver a Final Distribution in an amount
equal to the Per Share Underlying Value, as of the relevant Redemption Order
Date, of each Up-MACRO Holding Share and each Down-MACRO Holding Share tendered
for redemption, which will include, in the event that the Redemption Order Date
and the Redemption Date occur on non-consecutive days, a sum equal to the
Up-MACRO Earned Income Accruals and the Down-MACRO Earned Income Accruals (each
calculated on the basis of the Applicable Reference Price of Oil on the
Redemption Order Date) for the intervening non-Business Days between the
Redemption Order Date and the Redemption Date; 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. Such Final
Distribution will be delivered:
(i) if the relevant Redemption Order Date was not a
Distribution Date a Final Distribution of cash or a combination of
cash and/or Eligible Treasuries to the Participant Custodian Account
of the redeeming Authorized Participant;
50
provided, that such cash and/or Eligible Treasuries shall be
selected in the following priority:
(1) first, from funds on deposit in the Cash
Netting Subaccount on that day;
(2) second, from cash on deposit in the
Distribution Account from the proceeds of maturing Eligible
Treasury Repurchase Agreements; and
(3) third, Eligible Treasuries on deposit in the
Securities Account selected in accordance with the provisions
of Section 6.1(d); or
(ii) in the case of the Final Scheduled Termination
Date, an Early Termination Date or a Redemption Order Date that is
scheduled to occur on a Distribution Date, a Final Distribution of

Business Day after the Issuance Order Date (such date, the "Issuance
Date"), not later than 10:00 a.m. New York City Time, the Authorized
Participant directing the Paired Issuance must deliver immediately
available funds to the Trustee in an amount equal to (i) the Per Share
Underlying Value of Up-MACRO Holding Shares on the Issuance Order Date
multiplied by the number of Up-MACRO Holding Shares being created by that
Authorized Participant, plus (ii) the Per Share Underlying Value of
Down-MACRO Holding Shares on the Issuance Order Date multiplied by the

Distribution Date or on the Business Day succeeding a Distribution Date,
the Up-MACRO and Down-MACRO Earned Income Accruals for each intervening
day between the Issuance Order Date and the Issuance Date, calculated on
the basis of the Applicable Reference Price of Crude Oil on the Issuance
Order Date. Following the delivery of requisite funds and satisfaction of
the procedures and conditions for a Paired Issuance that are specified in
the Participants Agreement and no later than the day and time specified in
the Participants Agreement, the Trustee, acting together with the
Down-MACRO Holding Trustee, each on behalf of its respective Paired
Holding Trust and as directed by the Administrative Agent, shall deliver
from the applicable Shares Netting Subaccount or, in the event of a Net
Par Amount Increase, cause each of the Paired Holding Trusts to issue
Paired Holding Shares in the Aggregate Par Amount of such Net Par Amount
Increase and to credit the Depository account of the Up-MACRO Tradeable
Trust and the Down-MACRO Tradeable Trust or to credit the Depository
account of the Authorized Participant who directed such Paired Issuance,
as applicable, with such Paired Holding Shares in the Aggregate Par Amount
that was specified in the Creation Order.
(b) Upon receipt of the funds delivered by one or more
Authorized Participants in connection with a Paired Issuance, 50% of such

(a) The Administrative Agent shall suspend the right of
redemption, or postpone the date of settlement for any Paired Optional
Redemption or any Paired Issuance of Paired Holding Shares,
(i) for any period during which the AMEX or NYMEX is
closed, or trading is suspended or restricted;
(ii) for any period during which an emergency exists as
a result of which delivery or acquisition of Eligible Treasuries by
the Paired Holding Trusts is not reasonably practicable;
(iii) if any such redemption would cause the Up-MACRO or
Down-MACRO Investment Amount to equal less than 10 million dollars;
and
(iv) for such other period as the Depositor, the Trustee
or the Administrative Agent determines to be necessary for the
protection of the Beneficial Owners of any of the Paired Holding
Shares, the Up-MACRO Tradeable Shares or the Down-MACRO Tradeable
Shares.
None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Administrative Agent will
be liable to any Person for any loss or damages that may result from any such
suspension or postponement.
Section 6.7 The Participants Agreement.
(a) Each Paired Optional Redemption and each Paired Issuance
shall be effected in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Attachment A-II and Attachment A-I, respectively, to the Participants

of the Trustee, the Up-MACRO Tradeable Trustee, the Down-MACRO Holding
Trustee, the Down-MACRO Tradeable Trustee and the Administrative Agent in
accordance with the provisions thereof.
(b) The Trustee and the Administrative Agent shall only
process Redemption Orders and Creation Orders from Authorized Participants
who have executed a Participants Agreement that is in full force and
effect at the time when the Redemption Order or Creation Order is placed.
The Administrative Agent will maintain and make available at its Business
Office during normal business hours a current list of the Authorized
Participants eligible to participate in a Paired Issuance.
(c) In the event that the provisions of this Trust Agreement
and the Participants Agreement conflict in any way, the provisions of the
Participants Agreement will prevail insofar as they relate to the
requirements and procedures for directing and effecting Paired Optional
Redemptions and Paired Issuances.
Section 6.8 Administration of Eligible Treasuries.
(a) The Trustee, acting on behalf of the Up-MACRO Holding
Trust and at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall apply funds
in the amount specified in
52
Section 5.2(a)(iv) on each Distribution Date, all funds received in
connection with each Paired Issuance, to the extent such funds are not
required to remain on deposit in the Netting Account, and any maturity
proceeds of Eligible Treasuries that are received prior to the end of any
Calculation Period, to acquire Eligible Treasuries. The Administrative
Agent shall direct the Trustee to acquire Eligible Treasuries in
accordance with the following "Acquisition Guidelines":
(i) Eligible Treasury Securities shall be selected based
on best execution;
(ii) Eligible Treasury Repurchase Agreements shall be
selected based on best execution;
(iii) no Eligible Treasury Repurchase Agreement may be

Trustee, the Administrative Agent, or the Marketing Agents;
(iv) Eligible Treasury Repurchase Agreements may be
entered into with, and Eligible Treasury Securities may be to be
purchased from, an Authorized Participant or an Affiliated Person of
both the Up-MACRO Holding Trust and an Authorized Participant only
in accordance with the requirements and conditions set forth in

a manner that each of the Paired Holding Trusts shall hold an
identical portfolio of Eligible Treasuries or as close to an
identical portfolio as is commercially feasible; and
(vi) the allocation of funds among Eligible Treasury
Securities and Eligible Treasury Repurchase Agreements during any
Calculation Period (the "Asset Allocation Percentage") shall be a
minimum of 65% in Eligible Treasury Securities and a maximum of 35%
in Eligible Treasury Repurchase Agreements for the first 12 months
following the first Issuance Date and, thereafter, the
Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
adjust such Asset Allocation Percentage on behalf of the Up-MACRO
Holding Trust on every other Distribution Date such that the amount
invested in Eligible Treasury Repurchase Agreements is equal to up
to 10% plus the highest percentage of Up-MACRO Holding Shares that
were redeemed on any one Redemption Date (relative to all
Outstanding Up-MACRO Holding Shares on such Redemption Date) during
the preceding twelve-month period.
The Trustee shall cause the Up-MACRO Holding Trust to acquire Eligible
Treasuries pursuant to this Section 6.8 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 acquisition of Eligible Treasuries, the Administrative Agent
shall undertake to remedy such violation in the manner specified in such Exhibit
H.
(b) On each Distribution Date and on each Issuance Order Date,
the Administrative Agent shall, subject to, and in accordance with, the

for Eligible Treasuries and shall place a purchase order for the selected
Eligible Treasuries with one or more securities dealers and shall direct
the Trustee to settle such acquisition. The Administrative Agent shall
direct the Trustee
53
and the Down-MACRO Holding Trustee in allocating all Eligible Treasury
Securities acquired as described above equally between the Up-MACRO
Holding Trust and the Down-MACRO Holding Trust. Eligible Treasury
Securities allocated to the Up-MACRO Holding Trust on each Distribution
Date, Issuance Date or any other date shall be credited by the Trustee to
the Securities Account.
(c) On each Distribution Date and on each Issuance Order Date,
the Administrative Agent shall, subject to, and in accordance with, the
Acquisition Guidelines and the Asset Allocation Percentage solicit offers
for Eligible Treasury Repurchase Agreements and shall direct the Trustee
to enter into such Eligible Treasury Repurchase Agreements and shall place
a purchase order for such Eligible Treasury Repurchase Agreements with one
or more counterparties. The Trustee shall allocate all Eligible Treasury
Repurchase Agreements as described above equally between the Up-MACRO
Holding Trust and the Down-MACRO Holding Trust, as directed by the
Administrative Agent. Eligible Treasury Repurchase Agreements entered into
on each Distribution Date, Issuance Date or any other date shall be
credited by the Trustee to the Securities Account.
(d) On any Business Day during any Calculation Period (other
than the last Business Day prior to a Distribution Date), if cash is
available in the Distribution Account for reinvestment in Eligible
Treasuries, the Administrative Agent shall provide instructions to the
Trustee to apply such cash to purchase Eligible Treasuries in accordance
with the Acquisition Guidelines and the Asset Allocation Percentage.
(e) Without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 and
Section 13.2, the Trustee shall not under any circumstances be held liable
under this Trust Agreement for any action it takes in accordance with
directions provided to it by the Administrative Agent under this Section
6.8 or for any omission on the part of the Trustee to take any action in
the absence of receiving such instructions from the Administrative Agent.
ARTICLE 7
CAPITAL ACCOUNTS OF HOLDERS
AND OPERATION THEREOF; TAX ALLOCATIONS
Section 7.1 Capital Contributions.
(a) 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.
(b) Except as expressly set forth herein, no Holder shall be
entitled to any return of capital, interest or compensation by reason of
its Capital Contributions.
Section 7.2 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:
54
(a) 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:
(i) 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
(ii) 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).
(b) 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.
(c) 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
55
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.
(d) 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.
(e) 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.
Section 7.3 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:
(a) 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.
(b) 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
56
Section 7.3(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback
requirements in such Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently
therewith.
(c) 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.
(d) 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.
(e) 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.
(f) 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.
(g) 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.
(h) 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.
Section 7.4 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,
57
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.
Section 7.5 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).
(a) 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.
(b) Items of recognized capital gain or loss from the
Up-MACRO Holding Trust's trading activities shall be allocated as follows:
(i) 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.
(1) 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);
(2) 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
(3) When any Up-MACRO Holding Share is
redeemed, the tax basis account attributable to such redeemed
Up-MACRO Holding Share shall be eliminated.
(ii) 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
58
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.
(iii) 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.
(iv) 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.
(v) 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.
(vi) 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.
(c) 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.
Section 7.6 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
59
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 7.7 No Deficit Makeup. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, upon the liquidation of 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.
Section 7.8 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.
Section 7.9 Definitions. For the purposes of this Trust
Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires:
(a) "Adjusted Capital Account Deficit" shall mean, with
respect to any Holder, the deficit balance, if any, in such Holder's
Capital Account as of the end of the relevant taxable year, after giving

(ii) debit to such Capital Account the items

obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if
originally named as Trustee herein. The predecessor Trustee shall deliver
to the Successor Trustee all documents and statements held by it
hereunder, and the Depositor and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and

required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the Successor
Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations within thirty days

powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider

the Trustee joins in such act) except to the extent that under any
laws of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to
be performed the Trustee is incompetent or unqualified to perform
such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Assets or
any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised or
performed singly by such co-trustee or separate trustee, but solely
at the direction of the Trustee;
(ii) no co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder
shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any
other trustee hereunder; and

of this Trust Agreement, specifically including every provision of this

any co-trustee or separate trustee shall become incapable of acting,

exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.

Trustee's reasonable satisfaction that it is a Beneficial Owner upon
reasonable advance notice at all reasonable times during the usual
business hours of the Trustee. The Administrative Agent shall keep proper
records of all Paired Optional Redemptions and Paired Issuances effected
at any time at its Business Office. Such records shall be open to
inspection by any Person who establishes to the Administrative Agent's

the Administrative Agent. Such records shall be preserved by the Trustee
or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, for so long as the Depositor
may direct.
(b) The Trustee shall provide the Depositor such
financial and other information regarding the operation of the Up-MACRO
Holding Trust as may be required for the Depositor to prepare such reports
and filings required under the federal securities laws as required under
Section 8.2. Unless otherwise required by applicable law or regulation,
the Depositor shall be responsible for any certification of any such
reports or the contents thereof; provided, that the Trustee shall make
such representations to the Depositor with respect to information within
the Trustee's control as shall be required for the Depositor to make such
certification.
(c) The Depositor shall prepare or cause to be prepared,
and the Trustee shall sign (if it is determined that the Trustee's
signature is required thereon) and file any tax returns required to be
filed by the Up-MACRO Holding Trust. The Depositor shall also prepare or
cause to be prepared all tax information required by law to be distributed
to Holders of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares. The Trustee, the Calculation
Agent and the Administrative Agent, upon request, shall each furnish the
Depositor with any information known to it that may be reasonably required
in connection with the preparation of such duties set forth in the
preceding two sentences.
81
(d) In no event shall the Trustee, the Depositor or the
Administrative Agent be personally liable for any taxes or other
governmental charges imposed upon or in respect of the Up-MACRO Holding
Shares under any present or future law of the United States of America or
imposed by any taxing authority having jurisdiction over the Up-MACRO
Holding Trust. For all such taxes and charges and for any expenses,
including counsel's fees, which the Trustee or the Administrative Agent
may sustain or incur with respect to such taxes or charges, the Trustee or
the Administrative Agent shall be reimbursed and indemnified out of the
assets of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust and the payment of such amounts shall
be secured by a lien on the Up-MACRO Holding Trust. Any payments by the
Trustee or the Administrative Agent shall be subject to withholding
regulations then in force. This paragraph shall survive notwithstanding
any termination of this Trust Agreement and the Up-MACRO Holding Trust or
the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Administrative Agent. If
sufficient funds are not on deposit in the Fee Payment Account to
reimburse the Trustee or the Administrative Agent for any taxes paid by
either of them on behalf of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust, the Depositor
shall reimburse the Trustee and the Administrative Agent therefor.
(e) The accounts of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust shall be
audited, as required by law and as may be directed by the Depositor, by
Independent certified public accountants designated from time to time by

consent of the Depositor, the Administrative Agent and the Trustee and the
written consent of the Holders of Up-MACRO Holding Shares evidencing not

consent of a Majority of the Holders of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares to use
funds on deposit in the Distribution Account to pay such fees and
expenses; and provided further still, if such amendment is adopted and
approved by each Holder of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares, such amendment
shall not be effective unless and until an identical amendment has been
made to the Down-MACRO Holding Trust Agreement in accordance with the

the execution thereof by Holders of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares shall be
subject to such reasonable requirements as the Trustee may prescribe.

Trustee, or the Administrative Agent in the performance of their
obligations hereunder and its consequences, except the failure to make any
distributions required to be made to Holders of the Up-MACRO Holding
Shares or to make any Up-MACRO Income Distribution Payment or any Up-MACRO
Settlement Payment. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default
shall cease to exist, and any default arising therefrom shall be deemed to
have been remedied for every purpose of this Trust Agreement. No such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right
consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
Section 15.2 Registration (Initial and Continuing) of Up-MACRO
Holding Shares; Certain Securities Law Filings. The Depositor agrees to (i)

registered and filed, and at all times to be kept recorded, registered and
filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law
fully to preserve and protect the right, title and interest of the Holders
of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares and the Trustee hereunder in and to all

Distribution Agreement and the Settlement Contracts. The Depositor shall
deliver to the Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any
document recorded, registered or filed as provided above, as soon as
available following such recording, registration or filing.
(b) Within 30 days after the Depositor makes any change
in its name, identity or corporate structure which would make any
financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with
paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the meaning of Section
9-402(7) (or any comparable provision) of the UCC, the Depositor shall
give the Trustee notice of such change and shall file such financing

proceeds thereof.
(c) The Depositor shall give the Trustee prompt notice
of any relocation of its principal executive offices or of any office from

of any amendment to any previously filed financing or continuation
statement, the Depositor shall file such financing statements or
amendments as may be necessary to perfect or to continue the perfection of
the Up-MACRO Holding Trust's security interest in the Trust Assets and the
proceeds thereof. The Depositor shall at all times maintain its principal
executive offices and each office from which it performs its duties

Holding Shares.

incapacity entitle the legal representatives or heirs of such Holder to

any court for a partition or winding-up of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust, or
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties
hereto or any of them.

any right by virtue of any provisions of this Trust Agreement to institute

beneficial ownership of at least 25% of all Outstanding Up-MACRO Holding
Shares have made, written request to the Trustee to institute such suit,
action or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and have offered
to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the
costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby and the
Trustee, for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such request and offer
of indemnity, has neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit
or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and expressly agreed to
by each Holder with every other Holder and the Trustee, that no one or
more Holders of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares shall have any right in any
manner whatsoever by virtue of or by availing itself or themselves of any
provisions of this Trust Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the

subject to Section 15.1, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow
any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the
action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if a Trust Officer in good
faith determines that the proceedings so directed would be illegal or involve
the Trustee in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of
Holders of the Up-MACRO Holding Shares not party to such direction; provided
further that nothing in this Trust Agreement shall impair the right of the
Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and not inconsistent

1. Acquisitions of Eligible Treasuries
(a) Subject to best execution pursuant to Section 6.8, the
Administrative Agent may direct the Trustee to acquire Eligible
Treasuries from Authorized Participants or from Affiliated Persons
of both the Trust and the Authorized Participants (each, an "AP
Affiliated Person," and such transaction, an "AP Acquisition") only
in the event that the offers of such AP Affiliated Person are within
the Range of the Best Yield, as defined below.
(b) The available market yields for purposes of calculating Best Yield
will be based on prices displayed on the applicable Bloomberg screen
for Eligible Treasury Securities trades of a designated maturity and
for general market offered yield indications obtained from Bloomberg
or another third-party service specific to Eligible Treasury
Repurchase Agreements.
(c) For purposes of this Section 1, the Best Yield is the average of the
five highest yields offered by sellers with whom the Administrative
Agent has a trading agreement (the "Best Yield") and the Range is
the greater of 0.10% or 2% times the Best Yield (the "Range").
2. In-Kind Redemptions
Any "in-kind" Paired Optional Redemption by an AP Affiliated Person will
be executed in accordance with Section 6.1(d) (an "AP In-Kind
Redemption").
3. Record Retention
(a) In each AP Acquisition, the Administrative Agent will retain a
print-out of the Bloomberg screen at the time each Eligible Treasury
Security purchase order is placed and a print-out of the pricing
service yield information at the time each Eligible Treasury
Repurchase Agreement purchase order is placed ("Print Outs") (as
well as, in each case, the corresponding trade ticket information
relating to such purchase order). The Print Outs will include all
available offers at the time the applicable order was placed as well
as the time, date, amount, counterparty and the price of each
transaction.
(b) In each AP In-Kind Redemption, the Administrative Agent will retain
in its books and records, the date of the transaction, the name of

4. Independent Verification Procedures
(a) At the conclusion of each calendar quarter, the Trustee, acting as
verification agent (the "Verification Agent"), shall select
randomly, and without notifying the Administrative Agent, one
Business Day for each week in the preceding quarter,
(i) If AP Acquisitions occurred on such day, to verify (1) that
the Administrative Agent is properly identifying and recording
all of the AP Acquisitions; and (2) no transactions outside of
the Range were executed with any AP Affiliated Person; and
(ii) If AP In-Kind Redemptions occurred on such day, to verify (1)
that the Administrative Agent is properly identifying and
recording all of the AP In-Kind Redemptions and (2) that the
AP In-Kind Redemptions are executed in accordance to Section
2, herein.
(b) In the event that the Verification Agent has identified an AP
Acquisition outside of the Range or an AP In-Kind Redemption
violating Section 6.1(d) (each such transaction, a "Prohibited
Transaction"), the Verification Agent shall review all the
information retained by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
Sections 3(a) or 3(b), herein, as applicable, during,
(i) The six-month period prior to such Prohibited Transaction and
(ii) The calendar quarter following the Prohibited Transaction,
to further determine whether additional Prohibited Transactions
occurred.
5. Remedy for Prohibited Transactions
(a) In the event that the Verification Agent identifies a Prohibited
Transaction, the Verification Agent will notify the Depositor and
the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent will be
required to pay, to the Trust, for each such Prohibited Transaction
within thirty day of such notification,
(i) if the Prohibited Transaction was an AP Acquisition, an amount
equal to the yield which the Trust would have obtained had
such transaction occurred at a yield equal to (x) the Best
Yield minus the Range (y) minus the yield obtained in the
executed transaction and
(ii) if the Prohibited Transaction was an AP In-Kind Redemption, an
amount equal to the yield to maturity of the Eligible
Treasuries Securities which were delivered minus the yield to
maturity of the Eligible Treasuries Securities which should
have been delivered to the redeeming AP Affiliated Person.
A Person shall be determined to be an Authorized Participant, for the purpose of
this Exhibit H, based on Section 2(a)(29) of the Investment Company Act and SEC
interpretive positions thereunder.
