its obligations under this Trust Agreement.
(b) Due Qualification. The Depositor is duly qualified to do
business and is in good standing as a foreign company (or is exempt from such
requirements) and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each
jurisdiction in which failure to so qualify or to obtain such licenses and
approvals would result in the transfer of the Initial Deposit to the Up-MACRO
Tradeable Trust by the Depositor or the performance by the Depositor of its
obligations under this Trust Agreement to violate any applicable law and would
have a material adverse effect on the interests of the Holders of the Up-MACRO
Tradeable Shares hereunder.
(c) Due Authorization. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Trust Agreement by the Depositor, the execution and
delivery to the Trustee of the Up-MACRO Tradeable Shares by the Depositor and
the consummation by the Depositor of the transactions provided for in this
Trust Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder have been
10
duly authorized by the Depositor by all necessary action on the part of the
Depositor and this Trust Agreement will remain, from the time of its
execution, an official record of the Depositor.
(d) No Conflict. The execution and delivery by the Depositor
of this Trust Agreement and the Up-MACRO Tradeable 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.
(e) No Violation. The execution and delivery by the
Depositor of this Trust Agreement and the Up-MACRO Tradeable Shares, the
performance by the Depositor of the transactions contemplated by this Trust
Agreement and its obligations hereunder and the fulfillment by the Depositor
of the terms hereof will not conflict with or violate any Requirements of Law
applicable to the Depositor.
(f) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or
investigations pending or, to the best knowledge of the Depositor, threatened
against the Depositor before any Governmental Authority (i) asserting the
invalidity of this Trust Agreement or the Up-MACRO Tradeable Shares, (ii)
seeking to prevent the issuance of the Up-MACRO Tradeable Shares or the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Trust Agreement
or the Up-MACRO Tradeable 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 and adversely affect the validity or enforceability of this Trust
Agreement or the Up-MACRO Tradeable Shares or (v) seeking to affect adversely
the income tax attributes of the Up-MACRO Tradeable 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 Tradeable Shares, the

Agreement and its obligations hereunder and the Up-MACRO Tradeable Shares and
the fulfillment by the Depositor of the terms hereof and thereof have been
obtained.
(h) Bankruptcy; Insolvency. No Event of Bankruptcy with
respect to the Depositor has occurred which would materially and adversely
affect the validity or enforceability of this Trust Agreement or the Up-MACRO
Tradeable Shares, and the transfer of the Initial Deposit by the Depositor to
the Up-MACRO Tradeable Trust has not been made in contemplation of the
occurrence thereof.
(i) Binding Obligation. This Trust Agreement constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor, enforceable against 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).
11
(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 this Section 2.4 shall survive the transfer and deposit by the
Depositor of the Initial Deposit to the Up-MACRO Tradeable Trust and shall be
deemed to be made on each Issuance Date. Upon discovery by the Depositor, the
Trustee or the Administrative Agent of a breach of any of the 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 parties
hereto. The Depositor agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and the
Administrative Agent in attempting to cure any such breach.
SECTION 2.5 Form of Shares; Book-Entry System;
Transferability of Up-MACRO Tradeable Shares.
(a) Form of Shares. The Up-MACRO Tradeable 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 Tradeable 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 Tradeable 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 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 Tradeable 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 Tradeable 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 Tradeable 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 Tradeable Trust
and no physical certificates shall be issued in respect of such Founders'
Shares. Concurrently with the first issuance of Up-MACRO Tradeable 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
12
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 Tradeable Shares are eligible for
book-entry settlement with the Depository, (i) no Beneficial Owner of Up-MACRO
Tradeable Shares will be entitled to receive a physical certificate evidencing
those shares, (ii) the interest of a Beneficial Owner in the Up-MACRO
Tradeable 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 Tradeable
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 Tradeable Shares.
As provided in the Depository Agreement, upon the settlement
date for any transfer or any creation, exchange or redemption of the Up-MACRO
Tradeable Shares, the Depository will credit or debit, on its book-entry
registration and transfer system, the amount of Up-MACRO Tradeable Shares so
transferred or so created, exchanged 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 Tradeable Shares. The Beneficial Owners of the
Up-MACRO Tradeable 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 Tradeable Shares a written
confirmation relating to their purchase of Up-MACRO Tradeable Shares.
Upon the settlement date for any creation, transfer,
exchange or redemption of Up-MACRO Tradeable 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 Tradeable 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 Tradeable 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
13
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 Tradeable 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 Tradeable 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 Tradeable 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 Tradeable Shares shall be made to the Depository
or its nominee, Cede & Co., as the registered owner of all Up-MACRO Tradeable
Shares. The Trustee and the Depositor expect that the Depository or its nominee,
upon receipt of any distributions made in respect of the Up-MACRO Tradeable
Shares, shall credit immediately the DTC Participants' accounts with payments in
amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the Up-MACRO
Tradeable 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 Tradeable 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 Tradeable
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 Tradeable 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
14
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 Tradeable 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.
(f) Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Global Certificate.
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 Tradeable Trust, as if originally issued,
whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Global Certificate shall be found
at any time.

for additional Down-MACRO Holding Shares has been or will be rejected by it,
by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Down-MACRO Holding Trust, or

Person by reason of the rejection of any Creation Order.

THE TRUSTEE
SECTION 13.1 Liability of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions,
certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other
instruments that are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee
pursuant to any provision hereof, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform on their face to the requirements of this Trust Agreement. The Trustee

provisions of this Trust Agreement. The Trustee shall also give prompt written
notice to the Registered Owners of the Up-MACRO Tradeable Shares of any
material lack of conformity of any such instrument to the applicable
requirements of this Trust Agreement which would entitle a specified
percentage of the Holders of the Up-MACRO Tradeable Shares to take any action
pursuant to this Trust Agreement.
(b) No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be construed
to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act, its own bad faith, its own reckless disregard of its
duties hereunder or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error
of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it is proved
that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
facts; and
(ii) the Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect
to any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and in

exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this
Trust Agreement.
(c) The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its
own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any
of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers
hereunder, if it has reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity against any related risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it.
(d) The Trustee shall have no power to vary the corpus of the
Up-MACRO Tradeable Trust.
(e) In the event that the Transfer Agent and Registrar (if
not also the Trustee) fails to perform any obligation, duty or agreement in the

obligated, as soon as possible upon knowledge of a Trust
41
Officer of such failure and receipt of appropriate records, if any, to perform
such obligation, duty or agreement in the manner required hereunder.
SECTION 13.2 Rights of the Trustee.

appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented to it pursuant to this Trust
Agreement by the proper party or parties.

of the rights or powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement or to institute,

Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Trust Agreement unless such Holders
have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the
costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby.

be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good
faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion,
rights or powers conferred upon it by this Trust Agreement.
(e) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
into the accuracy of any assertions of facts made in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
order, approval, appraisal, bond or other paper or document, unless the
Trustee has actual knowledge that any such assertion is incorrect or unless
requested in writing to do so by Holders evidencing more than 25% of the
Aggregate Par Amount of the Up-MACRO Tradeable Shares.
(f) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder that are customarily executed or
performed by agents, custodians, nominees or attorneys under like

Agreement, and the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, on each Distribution
Payment Date, the Up-MACRO Trustee Fee for all services rendered by it under

Up-MACRO Tradeable Trust and the Up-MACRO Holding Trust.
SECTION 13.6 Indemnification. The Trustee and its directors,
shareholders, officers, employees, agents, affiliates (as such term is defined
in Regulation S-X of the Securities Act) and subsidiaries (each, a "Trustee

or supplements thereto filed with the SEC or any periodic reports or updates
that may be filed under the Exchange Act), but not including any information
provided in writing by the Trustee to the Depositor for use in the
Registration Statement or any other filing with the SEC. Such indemnity shall
include payment from the Up-MACRO Tradeable Trust of the costs and expenses
incurred by such Trustee Indemnified Party in investigating or defending
itself against any claim or liability relating to this Trust Agreement or the
Up-MACRO Tradeable Trust, including any loss, liability or expense incurred in

prescribing such notice, if any, as it may deem proper, appoint a Successor
Trustee.
(d) No Trustee shall be liable for anything that occurs
after it has ceased to act in such capacity, including, without limitation,
the acts or omissions to act of any Successor Trustee; provided, that such

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

co-trustee or co-trustees, or a separate trustee or separate trustees, of all
or any part of the Trust Assets, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in
such capacity and for the benefit of the Holders of the Up-MACRO Tradeable
Shares, such title to the Trust Assets or any part thereof and, subject to the
other provisions of this Section 13.11, such powers, duties, obligations,
rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of the Trust Assets may at the time be located; provided, that such

each such appointment to the Depositor and the Administrative Agent.
(b) Every co-trustee and separate trustee shall, to the
extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following
provisions and conditions:

imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised
or performed by the Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee
jointly (it being understood that such co-trustee or separate trustee
shall not be authorized to act unless 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
(iii) the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of
or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee.

Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then co-trustees and
separate trustees as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any co-trustee or separate trustee shall refer to this Trust
Agreement and the conditions of this Article 13. Upon its acceptance of the
trusts conferred by its instrument of appointment, each co-trustee and
separate trustee shall be vested with the estates or property specified in
such instrument, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be
provided therein, subject to all of the provisions of this Trust Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Trust Agreement relating to the

appoint the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or
in respect to this Trust Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any
co-trustee or separate trustee shall become incapable of acting, resign or be
removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts under or
in respect to this Trust Agreement shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.

satisfaction that it is a Beneficial Owner upon reasonable advance notice at

Depositor with respect to information within the Trustee's control as shall be
required for the Depositor to make such certification.

prepared all tax information required by law to be distributed to Holders of
the Up-MACRO Tradeable Shares. The Trustee, the Calculation Agent, the

authority having jurisdiction over the Up-MACRO Tradeable 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 by or on behalf of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5.3 of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust Agreement 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, the Up-MACRO
Tradeable Trust, the Up-MACRO Holding Trust Agreement or the Up-MACRO Holding
Trust, or the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Administrative
Agent.
(e) The accounts of the Up-MACRO Tradeable 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 the
Depositor and the cost of such audit shall be

proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as
trustee. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for payment of the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the
Up-MACRO Tradeable Shares in respect of which such judgment has been obtained.

discretion may proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the

action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the
specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Trust
Agreement, in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Trust
Agreement or for the enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy
as the Trustee (or the Depositor, in the case of a Trustee Termination Event),
being advised by counsel, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any
of the rights of the Holders of the Up-MACRO Tradeable Shares.

title and interest of the Holders of the Up-MACRO Tradeable Shares and of the
Trustee in and to the Trust Assets to be promptly recorded, 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 Tradeable
Shares and the Trustee hereunder in and to all property comprising the Trust
Assets. 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 statements or amendments as may
be necessary to continue the perfection of the Up-MACRO Tradeable Trust's
security interest in the Trust Assets and the proceeds thereof.
(c) The Depositor shall give the Trustee prompt notice of
any relocation of its principal executive offices or of any office from which

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 Tradeable 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 hereunder within the United States.

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

any right to vote (except as expressly provided in this Trust Agreement) or in
any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Up-MACRO

any right by virtue of any provisions of this Trust Agreement to institute any
suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon, under or with respect to
this Trust Agreement unless such Holder previously has made, and unless the
Holders of Up-MACRO Tradeable Shares representing the beneficial ownership of
at least 66 and 2/3% of all Outstanding Up-MACRO Tradeable 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
Tradeable 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 rights of any other Holder of the Up-MACRO
Tradeable Shares, to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to
any other Holder of the Up-MACRO Tradeable Shares or to enforce any right
under this Trust Agreement except in the manner herein provided and for the
equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of the Up-MACRO Tradeable
Shares. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section

Amount shall have the right to direct the time, place and method of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any
trust or power conferred on the Trustee relating to such proceeding; provided,
however, that, 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 Tradeable 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 that is not inconsistent with such direction or with the limitations
imposed by Section 2.3 and Section 3.1(b) hereof.
(b) The Holders of the Up-MACRO Tradeable Shares shall be
entitled to direct the Trustee in the exercise of the voting rights associated

equal number of Up-MACRO Holding Shares as the number of Up-MACRO Tradeable
