In the event that a Licensee becomes aware of any infringement or potential infringement of any of the Licensed Property or the Trademarks during the term of this Agreement, such Licensee shall promptly notify Licensor of such infringement or potential infringement. In the case of any infringement or potential infringement of any of the Licensed Property or the Trademarks, Licensor retains the sole right to sue any Person infringing or allegedly infringing such Licensed Property or the Trademarks.

7. Confidentiality

(a) Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” includes but is not limited to (1) the Licensed Property and the information contained therein, (2) any processes, documentation, ideas, methods, designs, know-how, trade secrets and/or any information disclosed by Licensor to the Licensees pursuant to this Agreement; and (3) any other information or know-how which is designated in writing to be confidential or proprietary or should reasonably be understood to be confidential or proprietary, or if given orally, is designated at the time of disclosure as being disclosed as confidential or proprietary or should reasonably be understood to be confidential or proprietary. Confidential Information does not include information which (1) is in the public domain at the time of disclosure or becomes available thereafter to the public without restriction and not as a result of the act or omission of Licensees; (2) is rightfully obtained by a Licensee from a third party without restriction as to disclosure; (3) is lawfully in the possession of a Licensee at the time of disclosure and not otherwise subject to restriction on disclosure; or (4) is approved for release by written authorization of Licensor.

(b) Nondisclosure. Confidential Information will remain the property of the owning or disclosing party, and the non-owning or receiving party will not be deemed by virtue of this Agreement or any access to the disclosing party’s Confidential Information to have acquired any license, right or interest in or to any such Confidential Information. Each party agrees: (i) to hold the disclosing party’s Confidential Information in strict confidence; (ii) to limit disclosure of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information to those of its personnel who are providing services in connection with the purposes set forth in Section 1 or Persons who otherwise have a need to know the information for the purposes of this Agreement or for the purposes set forth in the Prospectus; (iii) not to disclose any such Confidential Information to any third party, unless previously authorized in writing to do so by the disclosing party or if required by applicable Law; (iv) to use the disclosing party’s Confidential Information solely and exclusively in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in order to carry out its obligations and exercise its rights under this Agreement; (v) to afford the disclosing party’s Confidential Information at least the same level of protection against unauthorized disclosure or use as the non-owning or receiving party normally uses to protect its own information of a similar character, but in no event less than a reasonable level of protection given the nature of the Confidential Information in question; and (vi) to notify the disclosing party promptly of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information and cooperate with and assist the disclosing party in every reasonable way to stop or minimize such unauthorized use or disclosure.

(c) Compelled Disclosure. If a party receives a subpoena or other validly issued administrative or judicial notice requesting the disclosure of any other party’s Confidential Information, such party will promptly notify the other applicable party and, if so requested, will provide reasonable cooperation to the other applicable party in resisting the disclosure. Subject to its obligations stated in the preceding sentence, the non-owning or receiving party will be entitled to comply with any binding subpoena or other process to the extent required by law, but will in doing so make every effort (at the expense of the party who owns the Confidential Information) to secure confidential treatment of any materials it is compelled to disclose.

(d) Return or Destruction of Information. Upon termination of this Agreement (either with respect to a party or in full), and except as and to the extent required by Law, (i) the party(ies) as to which this Agreement is being terminated shall promptly return to the other applicable party(ies) or destroy all written or other tangible manifestations of material containing Confidential Information of the other party(ies) (whether prepared by the other party(ies) or otherwise) (including any documents, memoranda, notes, analyses, studies and other writings prepared by or on behalf of such party(ies) based on the Confidential Information of the other party(ies)) which are in the possession of the first party as to which this Agreement is being terminated, and the first party shall certify such return or destruction in writing to the other party, (ii) no party shall not use the Confidential Information of the other party or any part thereof.

10. Indemnity

(a) Subject to Section 11, each party (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless in full the other parties and their officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) and hold them harmless against any liability, deficiency, amounts paid in settlement, expense or cost (including reasonable costs of investigation, defense and legal fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”), that the Indemnified Parties may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of (i) any claim alleging that any material furnished by the Indemnifying Party to the other parties pursuant to this Agreement misappropriates or infringes upon any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual or proprietary right in the United States of any third-party, or (ii) any breach of, or failure to perform, any agreement or covenant of the Indemnifying Party contained in this Agreement. In addition, if any such misappropriation or infringement occurs, the Indemnifying Party, at its option, shall either (a) procure the right for the Indemnified Party to continue to use the infringing material (“Infringing Material”) in accordance with the terms hereof, or (b) replace or modify the Infringing Material so as to render it non-infringing.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation under Section 10(a) to any Indemnified Party with respect to any claim of misappropriation or infringement of proprietary rights based upon any Indemnified Party’s modification of the material furnished and/or the combination of such material with data or materials not supplied by the Indemnifying Party, if such infringement would have been avoided without such modification or if use of the materials furnished by the Indemnifying Party independent of the data or materials supplied by the Indemnified Parties would not have caused the infringement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Licensor shall have no obligation under Section 10(a) to any Indemnified Party based on or related to any Licensee’s use, failure to use or manner of use, of the Licensed Property, including for any claim or demand by any third party (including any past, present or future Limited Owner) based on or related to any Licensee’s use, failure to use or manner of use, of the Licensed Property, except in the case of gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud on the part of Licensor. Each Licensee shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless in full Licensor and its officers, directors, employees and

agents against any Losses that Licensor or its Indemnified Parties may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of such Licensee’s use of the Licensed Party, except in the case of gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud on the part of Licensor.

(d) To the extent that the Managing Owner in its capacity as a Licensee is responsible for making any indemnification payments to Licensor or its Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 10 in connection with the Managing Owner’s use of Licensed Property or the Trademarks in connection with Managing Owner’s responsibilities in connection with the Trust or any Fund, then the Trust or the applicable Fund, as the case may be, shall be responsible for making such indemnification payments to Licensor or its Indemnified Parties on behalf of the Managing Owner to the extent that the Trust or the applicable Fund, as the case may be, would be responsible for indemnifying the Managing Owner or its Indemnified Parties pursuant to the Trust Agreement.

(e) Indemnification Procedure. The Person(s) making a claim for indemnification under this Section 10 is/are referred to herein as the “Indemnified Party” and the Person(s) against whom such claims are asserted under this Section 10 is/are referred to herein as the “Indemnifying Party.” All claims by an Indemnified Party shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(i) In the event that (A) any claim for which an Indemnifying Party would be liable to an Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third Party Action”) or (B) any Indemnified Party hereunder should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder which does not involve a claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from it by a third party (a “Direct Action”), the Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness notify in writing the Indemnifying Party of such claim, specifying, to the extent then known to the Indemnified Party, the basis on which the claim for indemnification is made, the facts giving rise to or the alleged basis of the claim, and the amount (which may be estimated) of claim liability (a “Claim Notice”), together with a copy of the document (if any) by or in which the Third Party Action is commenced or asserted; provided, that any failure to give such notice shall not constitute a waiver of any rights of the Indemnified Party except to the extent the rights of the Indemnifying Party are actually prejudiced as result of such delay or lack of detail.

(ii) Within thirty (30) days after receipt of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party may (A) by giving written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, elect to assume the defense of such Third Party Action at its sole cost and expense or (B) object to the claim for indemnification set forth in the Claim Notice. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume control of the defense of or settle or otherwise dispose of such Third Party Action on such terms as the Indemnifying Party deems appropriate; provided, however, that (x) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at its own expense (which such expense shall not be deemed to be a Loss), and without unreasonable interference with the actions of the Indemnifying Party, to participate in the defense of Third Party Actions, (y) the Indemnified Party shall not have the right to assume control of a Third Party Action if the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that, under applicable standards of professional responsibility, a conflict will arise in the event both the

Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party are represented by the same counsel with respect to the Third Party Action, in which case such Indemnified Party shall have the right to be represented by separate counsel with respect to the matters to which the conflict pertains, and all Losses in connection therewith shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party from time to time upon demand of the Indemnified Party; and (z) the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement, compromise, admission or any acknowledgment of the validity of a Third Party Action or any liability in respect thereof, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include a complete release of all claims against each Indemnified Party in respect of such Third Party Action and any related facts, circumstances or occurrences; and provided, further, that no consent of the Indemnified Party shall be necessary if the settlement, compromise, admission or any acknowledgment involves solely the payment of monetary damages that are paid by the Indemnifying Party.

(iii) Unless the Indemnifying Party objects in writing to a Direct Claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Claim Notice, such Direct Claim shall be conclusively deemed to be a liability of the Indemnifying Party.

(iv) In the event that a Person seeks indemnification in a Third Party Action covering both matters for which indemnification is and is not covered hereunder, such Person shall be indemnified only for the Losses covered hereunder.

(v) None of the indemnifications contained in this Agreement shall be applicable with respect to default judgments, confessions of judgment or settlements entered into by a Person claiming indemnification without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

(vi) This Section 10 (A) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and (B) sets forth Licensor’s complete liability with respect to infringement or intellectual property rights.

11. Limitation on Liability

EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILFUL MISCONDUCT OR FRAUD ON THE PART OF LICENSOR, IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR TORT DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOSS OF PROFITS OR LOSS OF BUSINESS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LICENSED PROPERTY FURNISHED BY LICENSOR, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY SUCH LOSS OF DAMAGE ARISES FROM BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, TORT, OR OTHERWISE AND EVEN IF THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR SUCH DAMAGE IS FORESEEABLE.

EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF A THIRD PARTY ACTION, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LIABILITY OF LICENSOR FOR DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY THE TRUST TO THE MANAGING OWNER PURSUANT TO THE MANAGEMENT AND OPERATING FEE WITHIN THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS.

12. No Waiver/Modification

(a) No failure or delay on the part of a party to exercise its right of termination or cancellation nor any default by a party shall be construed to prejudice any other party’s right of termination or cancellation for default or for any other subsequent defaults.

No course of dealing between the parties shall be deemed effective to modify or amend any part of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of any party under or by reason of this Agreement.

(a) Except as set forth below, the Claims, if any, of Licensor (the “Subordinated Claims”) incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing, arising from, related to or in connection with the Contracting Fund and the Contracting Fund Assets and the assets of the Trust shall be expressly subordinate and junior in right of payment to any and all other Claims against the Trust and the Contracting Fund and any of their respective assets which may arise as a matter of Law or pursuant to any Contract; provided, however, that bona fide Claims of Licensor, if any, against the Contracting Fund shall be pari passu and equal in right of repayment and distribution with all other bona fide Claims against the Contracting Fund;

(b) Licensor will not take, demand or receive from any Fund or the Trust or any of their respective assets (other than the Contracting Fund or its assets) any payment for the Subordinated Claims, except in accordance with this Section 26;

(c) Subject to this Section 26, the Claims of Licensor with respect to the Contracting Fund shall only be asserted and enforceable against the Contracting Fund’s assets and the

Managing Owner and its assets, and shall not be asserted or enforceable for any reason whatsoever against the assets of any other Fund or the Trust generally;

(d) If the Claims of Licensor against the Contracting Fund or the Trust are secured in whole or in part, Licensor 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 other Fund, as the case may be;

(e) In furtherance of the foregoing, if and to the extent that Licensor receives monies in connection with the Subordinated Claims from a Fund or the Trust (or their respective assets) other than the Contracting Fund or the Managing Owner and their respective assets and except as permitted by this Section 26, the Licensor shall be deemed to hold such monies in trust and shall promptly remit such monies to the Fund or the Trust that paid such amounts for distribution by such Fund or the Trust in accordance with the terms hereof; and

(f) The provisions of this Section 26 shall apply at all times notwithstanding that the Claims are satisfied, and notwithstanding that the agreements in respect of such Claims are terminated, rescinded or canceled.
