DB Commodity Services LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Managing Owner”), has sponsored the formation of PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized in series, for which Wilmington Trust Company, a Delaware banking corporation, acts as the sole trustee (the “Trustee”). The Trust has established and designated two series of the Trust which are PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (the “Bullish Fund”) and PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bearish Fund (the “Bearish Fund”, and collectively with the Bullish Fund, the “Funds”).

Upon the basis of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 1 hereof and subject to the applicable terms and conditions set forth herein, on the date hereof the Trust will cause each Fund to issue and sell to you (the “Initial Purchaser”), as applicable, the aggregate number of common units of fractional undivided beneficial interest in and ownership of the Bullish Fund (the “Bullish Shares”) and of the Bearish Fund (the “Bearish Shares” and, collectively with the Bullish Shares, the “Shares”) as are set forth in Schedule A hereto (such units of each such respective Fund being referred to herein as the

“Initial Baskets”) in consideration of your payment of the respective amounts for the Bullish Shares and the Bearish Shares (as applicable, the “Purchase Price”) set forth in Schedule A. The Managing Owner and the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, are advised by the Initial Purchaser that, upon satisfaction (or waiver by the Initial Purchaser) of the conditions set forth in Section 7 hereof, the Initial Purchaser intends to make a public offering of each of the Shares comprising the Initial Baskets as soon after the effective date of the Registration Statement, and on such terms, as in its judgment is advisable.

(b) the Claims and Shares of the Initial Purchaser shall only be asserted and enforceable against a particular Fund, the Fund Assets of such Fund and the Managing Owner and its assets and such Claims and Shares shall not be asserted or enforceable for any reason whatsoever against any other series, the Trust generally or any of their respective assets;

(c) If the Claims of the Initial Purchaser against a series of the Trust, or the Trust are secured in whole or in part, the Initial Purchaser hereby waives (under section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 1111(b)) any right to have any deficiency Claims (which deficiency Claims may arise in the event such security is inadequate to satisfy such Claims) treated as unsecured Claims against the Trust or any series (other than the applicable series), as the case may be;

(d) in furtherance of the foregoing, if and to the extent that the Initial Purchaser receives monies in connection with the Subordinated Claims and Shares from a series or the Trust (or their respective assets), other than the series of the Trust in question, the applicable Fund Assets and the Managing Owner and its assets, the Initial Purchaser shall be deemed to hold such monies in trust and shall promptly remit such monies to the series or the Trust that paid such amounts for distribution by the series or the Trust in accordance with the terms hereof; and

(e) the foregoing Consent shall apply at all times notwithstanding that the Claims are satisfied, the shares of the applicable series are sold, transferred, redeemed or in any way disposed of and notwithstanding that the agreements in respect of such Claims and Shares are terminated, rescinded or canceled.

7. The public offering of the Shares comprising the Initial Baskets by the Initial Purchaser shall be subject, in its discretion, to the condition that all representations and warranties and other statements of the Managing Owner, on its own behalf and in its capacity as managing owner of each of the Funds, herein are, at and as of the Closing Time, true and correct, the condition that the Managing Owner shall have performed all of its obligations hereunder theretofore to be performed, and the following additional conditions:

(e) The Shares to be sold as of the Closing Time shall have been duly listed, subject to notice of issuance, on the Exchange;

8. (a) The Managing Owner will indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Purchaser against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Initial Purchaser may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse the Initial Purchaser for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchaser in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Managing Owner shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Managing Owner by the Initial Purchaser expressly for use therein.

(b) The Initial Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Managing Owner against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Managing Owner may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Managing Owner by the Initial Purchaser expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Managing Owner for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Managing Owner in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such

subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Managing Owner on the one hand and the Initial Purchaser on the other from the offering of the Shares in controversy comprising the Initial Baskets. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Managing Owner on the one hand and the Initial Purchaser on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Managing Owner on the one hand or the Initial Purchaser on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Managing Owner and the Initial Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of

allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), the Initial Purchaser shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares in controversy comprising the Initial Baskets purchased by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which the Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) The obligations of the Managing Owner under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the Managing Owner may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Initial Purchaser under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the Initial Purchaser may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Managing Owner and to each person, if any, who controls the Managing Owner within the meaning of the Act.

9. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Managing Owner and the Initial Purchaser, as set forth in this Agreement or made by them pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser or any controlling person of the Initial Purchaser, or the Managing Owner, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Managing Owner, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares comprising the Initial Baskets.

10. If the Shares comprising the Initial Baskets are not delivered by or on behalf of the Managing Owner as provided herein, the Managing Owner will reimburse the Initial Purchaser for all out-of-pocket expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchaser in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Shares comprising the Initial Baskets, but the Managing Owner shall then be under no further liability to the Initial Purchaser except as provided in Section 8 hereof.

11. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Initial Purchaser shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to you at [•] and if to the Managing Owner shall be delivered or sent by mail to the address of the Managing Owner set forth in the Registration Statement, Attention: Xxxxx Xxxx. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.

12. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Initial Purchaser, the Managing Owner, each of the Funds and, to the extent provided in

Sections 8 and 9 hereof, the officers and directors of the Managing Owner and each person who controls the Managing Owner or the Initial Purchaser, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Shares comprising the Initial Baskets from the Initial Purchaser shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

13. As used herein, the term “business day” shall mean any day when the Commission’s office in Washington, D.C. is open for business.

14. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except with respect to Section 6, which shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

15. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

16. The Managing Owner is authorized, subject to applicable law, to disclose any and all aspects of this potential transaction that are necessary to support any U.S. federal income tax benefits expected to be claimed with respect to such transaction, and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions and other tax analyses) related to those benefits, without the Initial Purchaser imposing any limitation of any kind.
