CFTC Registration Status. The Authorized Participant either is not required to be registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) or to be a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”), or, if required to be so registered, is duly registered with the CFTC and is a member in good standing of the NFA. The Authorized Participant agrees to supply the Managing Owner with such information as the Managing Owner may reasonably request in order to verify the foregoing representation. Vehicles for collective investment which acquire Shares may, as a result, themselves become “commodity pools” within the intent of applicable CFTC and NFA rules, and their sponsors, accordingly, will be required to register as “commodity pool operators.”
