Successor Administrative Agent.

duties and powers of the Administrative Agent as set forth in this Trust
Agreement may be delegated to one or more Affiliates of the Administrative
Agent; provided, however, that as a condition to any such delegation, the

TERMS OF THE DOWN-MACRO TRADEABLE SHARES
SECTION 6.1 Authorization and Designation of Down-MACRO Tradeable
Shares.
(a) The Trust is authorized to issue undivided beneficial interests in

account of the Depositor its shares constituting the Creation Unit(s) ordered.
(d) The Depositor hereby instructs the Trustee to execute the

Certificates shall have the status of an amendment to this Trust Agreement.
(f) The authorization of the Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares shall be

Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares will be issued only in minimum numbers equal to one
or more Creation Units.
(h) All Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares shall represent equal proportionate
beneficial interests in the Trust Property (subject to the liabilities of the
Trust), and each Down-MACRO Tradeable Share shall rank equal with each other
Down-MACRO Tradeable Share.
SECTION 6.2 Subsequent Issuances and Issuance of Creation Units.
(a) After the Initial Deposit, the following procedures, as
supplemented by the more detailed procedures specified in Attachment B to the
Participants Agreement, which may be amended from time to time in accordance
with the provisions of the Participants Agreement (and any such amendment will
not constitute an amendment of this Trust Agreement), will govern the Trustee
and the Administrative Agent in the creation and issuance of additional Creation
Units. Subject to the requirements for the issuance of Creation Units stated
herein and in such procedures, the number of Creation Units which may be issued
by the Trust is unlimited.
(b) On any Business Day, an Authorized Participant may submit a request
to the Administrative Agent to create one or more Creation Units (such request,
a "Creation Order"), and the Administrative Agent, upon processing such Creation
Order, shall provide to the Trustee with the requisite information needed in
order to effectuate such order. The Administrative Agent shall provide such
information at the times set forth in Attachment B to the Participants
Agreement.
(c) Creation Orders must be received by the Order Cut-Off Time on a
Business Day (the "Creation Order Date"). The Administrative Agent will process
the Creation Order only from Authorized Participants with respect to which the
Participants Agreement is in full force and effect. The Trustee and the
Administrative Agent will each maintain and make available at their respective
offices during normal business hours a current list of Authorized Participants
with respect to which the Participants Agreement is in full force and effect.
The Trustee shall deliver a copy of the Prospectus to each of the Authorized
Participants prior to its execution and delivery of the Participants Agreement.
(d) Any Creation Order is subject to rejection by the Trustee pursuant
to Section 6.2(e).
(e) After accepting an Authorized Participant's Creation Order, the
Trustee will issue and deliver Creation Units to fill an Authorized
Participant's Creation Order upon the satisfaction by the Authorized Participant
of the terms and conditions set forth in the Participants Agreement.
(f) The Trustee shall have the absolute right, but shall have no
obligation, to reject any Creation Order or Holding Share Deposit (i) if the
Administrative Agent determines that the Authorized Participant directing the
Creation Order has not deposited sufficient Down-MACRO Holding Shares with the
Trustee, (ii) if it determines that such Creation Order is not in the proper
form, (iii) if the Depositor has determined and advised the Trustee that such
deposit would result in adverse tax consequences to the Trust or to the Holders
of Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares, (iv) the acceptance or receipt of which would,
in the opinion of counsel to the Trustee, the Administrative Agent or the
Depositor, be unlawful or (v) if circumstances outside the control of the
Trustee or the Depositor make it for all practical purposes not feasible to
process the creation of Creation Units. None of the Trustee, the Administrative
Agent and the Depositor shall be liable to any Person by reason of the rejection
of any Creation Order or Holding Share Deposit.
(g) Certificates for Creation Units will not be issued, other than the
Global Certificate issued to DTC. So long as the DTC Letter is in effect,
Creation Units will be issued and exchanged, and Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares
will be transferred solely through the book-entry systems of DTC and the
Clearing Agency Participants as set forth in Section 9.3. DTC may determine to
discontinue providing its services with respect to Creation Units and Down-MACRO
Tradeable Shares by giving notice to the Trustee, the Administrative Agent and
the Depositor pursuant to and in conformity with the provisions of the DTC
Letter and discharge its responsibilities with respect thereto under the
applicable law. Under such circumstances, the Trustee, the Administrative Agent
and the Depositor shall take action either to find a replacement for DTC to
perform its functions at a comparable cost and on terms acceptable to the
Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the Depositor or, if such a replacement is
unavailable, to terminate the Trust.

only by a transfer from an Authorized Participant to the Securities Account of
the Trust. In accordance with the Participants Agreement, the expense of such
delivery shall be solely borne by the Authorized Participant.

virtue of having become a Holder, shall be deemed to have expressly assented and
agreed to the terms hereof. Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares shall be deemed to be
personal property, giving only the rights provided herein. Ownership of
Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares shall not entitle the Holder to any title in, or to
the whole or any part of, the Trust Property or right to call for a partition or
division of the same or for an accounting. The bankruptcy of a Holder during the
continuance of the Trust shall not operate to terminate the Trust nor entitle
the representative of any bankrupt Holder to an accounting or to take any action
in court or elsewhere against the Trust or the Trustee.
SECTION 6.4 CUSIP Numbers. The Trust, in issuing the Down-MACRO
Tradeable Shares, may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if
so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of liquidation as a
convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that
no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as
printed on the Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares or as contained in any notice of a
liquidation and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification
numbers printed on the Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares, and any such liquidation
shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.
SECTION 6.5 Distributions.
(a) Distributions received on a quarterly basis shall be paid to the
Holders on each Distribution Payment Date from time to time out of the payments
received from the Down-MACRO Holding Trust on the Down-MACRO Holding Shares held
by the Trust. Distributions on Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares shall be distributed
Pro Rata to the Holders.
(b) Any amounts received by the Trust upon a distribution by the
Down-MACRO Holding Trust on Down-MACRO Holding Shares that does not occur on a
quarterly basis shall, upon receipt by the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the
case may be distributed Pro Rata to the Holders on the same day that the Trust
receives such distribution, to the extent practicable.
(c) The Trustee shall not be entitled to deduct any amounts on deposit
in the Distribution Account prior to any Distribution to any Holder, and any
fees, expenses, actual and/or accrued liabilities shall be paid by the
Down-MACRO Holding Trust in accordance with the Down-MACRO Holding Trust
Agreement.
(d) The Record Date ("Record Date") for the determination of Holders
entitled to receive payment of a Distribution referred to in Section 6.5(a) will
be the open of business on the second Business Day immediately following the
scheduled Distribution Date on the Down-MACRO Holding Shares.
(e) Distributions on Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares in connection with a
liquidation or dissolution of the Trust shall be made as required by Section 8.2
hereof.
(f) All Distributions shall be made in cash.
SECTION 6.6 Exchange of Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares for Down-MACRO
Holding Shares.
(a) On any Business Day, an Authorized Participant may submit a request
to the Trustee to exchange one or more Creation Units for Down-MACRO Holding
Shares (such request, an "Exchange Order"), and the Administrative Agent, upon
processing such Exchange Order, shall provide the Trustee with the requisite
information needed in order to effectuate such order. The Administrative Agent
shall provide such information at the times set forth in Attachment B to the
Participants Agreement. The Trustee and the Administrative Agent, in
effectuating each Exchange Order, shall follow the procedures set forth herein
and in Attachment B to the Participants Agreement.
(b) Exchange Orders must be received by the Order Cut-Off Time on a
Business Day (the "Exchange Order Date"). The Trustee will process the Exchange
Order only from Authorized Participants with respect to which the Participants
Agreement is in full force and effect.
(c) Any Exchange Order is subject to rejection by the Trustee pursuant
to Section 6.6(d).
(d) After accepting an Authorized Participant's Exchange Order, the
Trustee will withdraw Down-MACRO Holding Shares (in equal number to the
Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares delivered by the Authorized Participant) from the
Securities Account of the Trust and deliver those Down-MACRO Holding Shares to
fill the Authorized Participant's Exchange Order in accordance with, and subject
to the satisfaction by the Authorized Participant of, the terms and conditions
set forth in the Participants Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, if the Authorized Participant specifies in its Exchange Order that it
desires to deliver Down-MACRO Holding Shares to the Down-MACRO Holding Trust
(and p-MACRO Holding Shares to the Up-MACRO Holding Trust, in an aggregate
number that constitutes a MACRO Unit), then the Trustee shall comply with the
procedures set forth in the Participants Agreement to effectuate such paired
optional redemption.
(e) The Trustee shall have the absolute right, but shall have no
obligation, to reject any Exchange Order or Tradeable Share Deposit if (i) if
the Administrative Agent determines that the Authorized Participant directing
the Exchange Order has not deposited sufficient funds with the Trustee, (ii) if
it determines that such Exchange Order is not in the proper form, (iii) if the
Depositor has determined and advised the Trustee that such deposit would result
in adverse tax consequences to the Trust or to the Holders of Down-MACRO
Tradeable Shares, (iv) the acceptance or receipt of which would, in the opinion
of counsel to the Depositor, Administrative Agent or Trustee, be unlawful or (v)
if circumstances outside the control of the Trustee or the Depositor make it for
all practical purposes not feasible to process the exchange of Down-MACRO
Tradeable Shares for Down-MACRO Holding Shares. None of the Trustee, the
Administrative Agent and the Depositor shall be liable to any Person by reason
of the rejection of any Exchange Order or Tradeable Share Deposit.
(f) A non-refundable transaction fee (the "Transaction Fee") will be
payable to the Trustee for its own account in connection with each Exchange
Order pursuant to this Section 6.6. The Transaction Fee charged in connection
with each Exchange Order shall be initially $[1,000], but may be changed in
accordance with Section 6.6(f). Even though a single Exchange Order may be
related to multiple Creation Units, only a single Transaction Fee will be due
for each Exchange Order.
(g) The Transaction Fee may subsequently be waived, modified, reduced,
increased or otherwise changed by the Trustee, with the prior written consent of
the Depositor, but will not in any event exceed the amount limits as set forth
in the Participants Agreement. Promptly after agreeing to and prior to
implementing such change, the Depositor shall cause the current Registration
Statement to be amended to reflect any such changes in the Transaction Fee. The
Trustee shall notify DTC and each Authorized Participant of any agreement to
change the Transaction Fee and shall not implement any increase for exchanges of
outstanding Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares until thirty (30) days after the date of
that notice. The amount of the Transaction Fee in effect at any given time shall
be made available by the Trustee upon request.
(h) Tradeable Share Deposits may be delivered for deposit to the Trust
only by a transfer from an Authorized Participant to the Securities Account of
the Trust. In accordance with the Participants Agreement, the expense of such
deposit shall be solely borne by the Authorized Participant.

expenses, including counsel's fees, which the Trustee may sustain or incur with
respect to such taxes or charges, the Trustee shall be reimbursed and
indemnified out of the assets of the Down-MACRO Holding Trust in accordance with
the Down-MACRO Holding Trust Agreement. Any payments by the Trustee shall be

AUTHENTICATION AND TRANSFER OF DOWN-MACRO TRADEABLE SHARES
SECTION 9.1 Authentication and Transfer of Certificates. The Trustee
shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers of
Certificates, which will be effected without charge but only upon payment (with
such indemnity as the Trustee may reasonably require) in respect of any tax or
other government charges that may be imposed in relation to such transfer. Upon
surrender for registration or transfer of any Certificate representing the
Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares, the Trustee shall cause one or more new
Certificates to be issued in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees. Every such Certificate surrendered for registration or transfer
shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Trustee duly executed by the Holder or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing representing that such Holder has complied with the
restrictions set forth in this Article 9. Each Certificate surrendered for
registration or transfer shall be canceled by the Trustee. A transferee of a
Certificate shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a
Holder hereunder upon the receipt by such transferee of a Certificate. By
acceptance of a Certificate, each transferee shall be deemed to have agreed to
be bound by this Trust Agreement.
SECTION 9.2 Deemed Security Holders. The Trustee may treat the Person
in whose name any Certificate shall be registered on the books and records of
the Trust as the sole Holder of such Certificate and of the Down-MACRO Tradeable
Shares represented by such Certificate for purposes of receiving Distributions

accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or
interest in such Certificate or in the Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares represented
by such Certificate on the part of any Person, whether or not the Trust shall
have actual or other notice thereof.
SECTION 9.3 Book Entry Interests. (iv) Certificates for Down-MACRO
Tradeable Shares will be issued only in the form of one or more fully
registered, global Certificates (each, a "Global Certificate"), to be held by
the Trustee, as custodian for DTC (the initial Clearing Agency) and shall be
authenticated and executed by the Trustee. Such Global Certificates shall
initially be registered on the books and records of the Trust in the name of
Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC, and no Beneficial Owner will receive a
definitive certificate representing such Beneficial Owner's interests in such
Global Certificates. Such Certificate shall bear the following legend:
UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF
THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION ("DTC"), TO THE TRUSTEE OR
ITS AGENT 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 DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE
TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUIRED BY AN AUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), 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.
(a) So long as the Certificates are in global form, the Trust and the
Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of
this Trust Agreement (including the payment of Distributions on the Global
Certificates and receiving approvals, votes, instructions or consents hereunder)
as the Holder of the Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares and the sole Holder of the
Global Certificates and shall have no obligation to the Beneficial Owners.
(b) To the extent that the provisions of this Section 9.3 conflict with
any other provisions of this Trust Agreement, the provisions of this Section 9.3
shall control.
(c) The rights of the Beneficial Owners shall be exercised only through
the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and
agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the
Clearing Agency Participants, and the Clearing Agency shall receive and transmit
payments of Distributions on the Global Certificates to such Clearing Agency
Participants. The Clearing Agency will make book entry transfers among the
Clearing Agency Participants; provided, however, that solely for the purposes of
determining whether the Beneficial Owners of the requisite amount of Down-MACRO
Tradeable Shares have voted on any matter provided for in this Trust Agreement,
the Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying
on, any written instrument (including a proxy) delivered to the Trustee by the
Clearing Agency setting forth the Beneficial Owners' votes or instructions or
assigning the right to vote or instruct on any matter to any other Persons
either in whole or in part.
(d) A Global Certificate will be exchangeable for Down-MACRO Tradeable
Shares registered in the names of persons other than DTC or its nominee or a
successor Clearing Agency or its nominee only if (i) DTC or such successor
Clearing Agency, as applicable, notifies the Trust that it is unwilling or
unable to continue as a Clearing Agency for such Global Certificate and no
successor Clearing Agency will have been appointed by the Trust within 90 days
of such notice, (ii) DTC or such successor Clearing Agency, as applicable, at
any time, ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at
which time DTC or such successor Clearing Agency, as applicable, is required to
be so registered to act as such clearing agency and no successor Clearing Agency
shall have been appointed, (iii) subject to obtaining an opinion of a nationally
recognized tax counsel with experience in such matters that there will be no
adverse income or franchise tax consequences under the laws of New York or
general corporation or unincorporated business tax consequences under the laws
of the City of New York upon the issuance of the Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares in
certificated form, the Trust determines that such Global Certificate will be so
exchangeable by the Trust within 90 days, or (iv) the Depositor voluntarily
elects to discontinue the use of the book-entry transfer system. Any Global
Certificate that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be
exchangeable for Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares registered in such names as DTC or
any successor Clearing Agency or the Trust, as applicable, shall direct.
(e) If the Global Certificates are exchanged pursuant to Section
9.3(e), Distributions may, at the Trust's option, be paid by check mailed to the
persons entitled thereto as shown on the register maintained by the Transfer
Agent; provided, however, a Holder of $5,000,000 or more in Aggregate Par Amount
of Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares shall be entitled to received Distributions, if
any, on any Distribution Payment Date by wire transfer of immediately available
funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by
the Trust not less than 15 days prior to such Distribution Payment Date. Any
such wire transfer instructions received by the Trust will remain in effect
until revoked by such Holder.
SECTION 9.4 Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other
communication to the Holders is required under this Trust Agreement, the Trustee
shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to
the Holders to the Clearing Agency and shall have no notice obligations to the
Beneficial Owners.
SECTION 9.5 Appointment of Authenticating Agent. At any time when any
Certificates remain outstanding, the Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent
or agents (each, an "Authenticating Agent") with respect to the Certificates
which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate
Certificates issued upon original issuance, exchange or registration of
transfer. The Trustee may revoke such power and remove any Authenticating Agent
at any time.
If any Authenticating Agent is appointed hereunder, the
Certificates may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee's certificate
of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following
form:
This is one of the Certificates referred to in the
within-mentioned Trust Agreement.

SECTION 9.6 Appointment of Successor Clearing Agency. If any Clearing
Agency elects to discontinue its services as securities depository with respect
to the Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares, the Trustee may appoint a successor Clearing
Agency with respect to such Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares.
SECTION 9.7 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificate. If (a)
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or if the Trustee shall
receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate; and (b) there shall be delivered to the Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by it to keep it harmless, then, in the absence of
notice that such Certificate shall have been acquired by a protected purchaser,
the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and deliver, in exchange for or
in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate of like denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section 9.7, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section
shall constitute conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in the relevant
Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost,
stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

perform its obligations under each of its contractual arrangements,
unless each party affected thereby consents thereto;
(ii) unless, in the case of any purported amendment which affects
the rights or powers of the Trustee, the Trustee shall have consented
to such amendment; and
(iii) if the result of such amendment would be to:
(A) cause the Trust to be classified other than as a grantor
trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes; or

required to be registered under the Investment Company Act.
(c) The unanimous consent of the Holders shall be required in order to

that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision of this
Trust Agreement;

modification does not adversely affect the interest of the Holders in
any material respect;
(iv) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment
under this Trust Agreement of a successor trustee;

Prospectus (notwithstanding anything in this Trust Agreement to the

securities laws; and

written change in interpretation or application of the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder by any legislative body, court,

provided, however, that any such amendment made pursuant to this Section 11.2(e)
shall be void if such amendment materially and adversely affects the Holders,
unless first approved by Holders evidencing not less than 66 and 2/3% of the
Aggregate Par Amount voting on such matter.
SECTION 11.3 Other Matters.

Holding Shares, the Down-MACRO Holding Trust or any agreement to which the
Down-MACRO Holding Trust is a party, the Trustee shall request the direction of
the Holders with respect to such matter and shall vote the Trust's interest in
the Down-MACRO Holding Shares with respect thereto in the same proportion as
such Holders of the Down-MACRO Tradeable Shares voted. At least Holders
evidencing not less than 66 and 2/3% of the Aggregate Par Amount entitled to
provide such direction shall be represented in any such direction of Holders
given pursuant to this Section 11.3(a).
(b) Prior to taking any Legal Action with respect to any Trust Property
that would materially and adversely affect the rights, terms or preferences of
the Down-MACRO Holding Shares, the Trustee, as the holder of the Trust Property
shall request the direction of the Holders with respect to such Legal Action and
shall act with respect to such Legal Action as directed by a majority of the
