Creation Procedures On any Business Day, an Authorized Participant may place an order with the Marketing Agent to create one or more Creation Baskets in accordance with this Agreement and the Procedures. For purposes of processing Purchase and Redemption Orders, a “Business Day” means any day other than a day when any of the NYSE Arca, ICE Futures Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange is closed for regular trading. Purchase orders must be placed by 12:00 PM New York time or the close of regular trading on NYSE Arca, whichever is earlier, except in the case of an Authorized Participant’s initial order to purchase one or more Creation Baskets on the first day the Baskets are to be offered and sold, when such orders shall be placed by 9:00 AM New York time on the day agreed to by the General Partner and the Authorized Participant. The day on which the Marketing Agent receives a valid Purchase Order is the Purchase Order Date. By placing a Purchase Order, an Authorized Participant agrees to (1) deposit Treasuries, cash, or a combination of Treasuries and cash with the Custodian of the Fund, and (2) if required by the General Partner in its sole discretion, enter into or arrange for a block trade, an exchange for physical or exchange for swap, or any other over-the-counter energy transaction (through itself or a designated acceptable broker) with the Fund for the purchase of a number and type of futures contracts at the closing settlement price for such contracts on the Purchase Order Date, as specified in the Purchase Order Form (see Exhibit B). Failure to consummate (1) and (2) above shall result in the cancellation of the order. The number and type of contracts specified shall be determined by the General Partner, in its sole discretion, to meet the Fund’s investment objective and shall be purchased as a result of the Authorized Participant’s purchase of Shares. Prior to the delivery of Baskets for a Purchase Order, the Authorized Participant must also have wired to the Custodian the non-refundable transaction fee due for the Purchase Order. “Treasuries” shall be any U.S. treasury security with two years or less remaining to maturity with an aggregate market value, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator using the valuation procedures set forth in Exhibit D that together with any cash amount, will equal the purchase price of the Creation Basket being purchased. The total deposit required to create each basket (“Creation Basket Deposit”) will be an amount of Treasuries and/or cash that is in the same proportion to the total assets of the Fund (net of estimated accrued but unpaid fees, expenses and other liabilities) on the date the order to purchase is accepted as the number of Shares to be created under the Purchase Order is in proportion to the total number of Shares outstanding on the date the order is received. The General Partner determines, directly in its sole discretion, or in consultation with the Administrator, the requirements for Treasuries and/or the amount of cash, including the maximum permitted remaining maturity of a Treasury and the proportions of Treasuries and cash, that may be included in deposits to create Baskets. The Marketing Agent will publish such requirements at the beginning of each business day. Unless otherwise determined by the General Partner, if Treasuries and cash are to be deposited, the amount of the cash deposit required will be the difference between (i) the aggregate market value of the Treasuries required to be included in a Creation Basket Deposit as of 4:00 PM New York time on the Purchase Order Date and (ii) the total required deposit. An Authorized Participant who places a Purchase Order is responsible for transferring to the Fund’s account with the Custodian the required amount of Treasuries and/or cash by the end of the third Business Day following the Purchase Order Date, except in the case of an Authorized Participant’s initial order to purchase one or more Creation Baskets on the first day the Baskets are to be offered and sold when the Creation Basket Deposit will be due by 12:00 PM New York time on the date the Purchase Order was accepted by the Marketing Agent. Upon receipt of the deposit amount, the Administrator will cause DTC to credit the number of Baskets ordered to the Authorized Participant’s DTC account on the third Business Day following the Purchase Order Date, except in the case of an Authorized Participant’s initial order to purchase one or more Creation Baskets, when the Administrator will cause DTC to credit the number of Baskets so ordered upon confirmation by the Custodian that the Creation Basket Deposit has been received by the Custodian. The expense and risk of delivery and ownership of Treasuries until such Treasuries have been received by the Custodian on behalf of the Fund shall be borne solely by the Authorized Participant.
