Any issues regarding a Creation Order or the creation procedures shall be addressed by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Addendum.  The Administrative Agent’s determination of whether the requirements for a Creation Order have been fulfilled shall be final and binding.  If a Creation Order is rejected, the Administrative Agent shall send to the Authorized Participant (with copy to the Warehouse Administrator), via facsimile or e-mail, as soon as reasonably practicable but not later than 6:15 p.m. New York City time on the Order Date for such Creation Order, a copy of the trade confirmation that the Administrative Agent shall have endorsed “Cancelled” along with a follow-up e-mail or facsimile indicating the reason for such cancellation.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Administrative Agent has not accepted a Creation Order by 8:00 p.m. New York City time on the Order Date, that Creation Order shall be deemed cancelled.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Sponsor shall be liable to any Person for the rejection of any Creation Order in accordance with the terms of this Addendum and the Agreement.

(iv)           Prior to the transmission of the Administrative Agent’s acceptance as specified above, a Creation Order shall represent only the Authorized Participant’s unilateral offer to deposit Whole Lots in exchange for one or more Creation Units and shall have no binding effect upon the Trust or any other party.  Subject to Section 4(d)(ii) and Section 10, and notwithstanding any other provision in this Addendum, following the transmission of the Administrative Agent’s acceptance as specified above, a Creation Order shall be a final and binding agreement between the Trust and the Authorized Participant for the creation and purchase of Creation Units and the deposit of Whole Lots and Fractional Lot(s) (if any) as consideration therefor in accordance with the terms of the Creation Order and the applicable Authorized Participant Agreement.
 
(c)           Processing of Accepted Creation Orders.
 
On each Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall process each Creation Order that (i) has such Business Day as its Order Date and (ii) has been accepted by the Administrative Agent, pursuant to the procedure set forth in this Section 4(b) of this Addendum.  Such accepted Creation Orders shall be processed successively in the order received by the Administrative Agent, as determined pursuant to Section 4(a)(v) of this Addendum, with each Creation Order processed as follows:

(iii)           Third, the Administrative Agent shall instruct the Warehouse Administrator to, and the Warehouse Administrator in turn shall, transfer all or part of an existing Fractional Lot (identified by the Administrative Agent in its instruction) that is part of a Divided Lot at the applicable Warehouse Location in which each of the Trust and such Authorized Participant has an existing ownership interest, in order to satisfy, to the extent possible, all or part of the Creation Underweight or Creation Overweight, as follows:
 
(A)           with respect to a Creation Underweight, the Warehouse Administrator shall transfer ownership of all or part of such Fractional Lot, in an amount up to such Creation Underweight, from such Authorized Participant’s Reserve Account to the Trust Account in the applicable Warehouse Location.
 
(B)           with respect to a Creation Overweight, the Warehouse Administrator shall transfer ownership of all or part of such Fractional Lot, in an amount up to such Creation Overweight, from the Trust Account to such Authorized Participant’s Reserve Account in the applicable Warehouse Location.
 
(iv)           Fourth, if there is any remaining portion of the Creation Underweight or Creation Overweight after the step in clause 4(c)(iii) above, the Administrative Agent shall instruct the Warehouse Administrator to, and the Warehouse Administrator in turn shall, to the extent possible, transfer ownership of one or more Whole Lots, selected by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Selection Protocol, from a Reserve Account of such Authorized Participant to the Trust Account at the relevant Warehouse Location, or vice versa, to resolve the remaining portion of the Creation Overweight or Creation Underweight, as follows:
 
(A)           with respect to a Creation Underweight, if such remaining portion of the Creation Underweight is larger than the next Whole Lot owned by the Authorized Participant in such Reserve Account that would be selected in accordance with the Selection Protocol, the Warehouse Administrator shall transfer ownership of such Whole Lot from such Reserve Account to the Trust Account at such Warehouse Location.
 
(B)           with respect to a Creation Overweight, if such remaining portion of the Creation Overweight is larger than the next Whole Lot owned by the Trust that would be selected in accordance with the Selection Protocol, the Warehouse Administrator shall transfer ownership of such Whole Lot at such Warehouse Location from the Trust Account to such Authorized Participant’s Reserve Account.
 
(C)           The Administrative Agent shall repeat the steps in either sub-clauses 4(c)(iv)(A) or 4(c)(iv)(B) above until the remaining portion of the Creation Overweight or Creation Underweight is less than the weight of the next Whole Lot that would be selected by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Selection Protocol.
 
(v)           Fifth, once the remaining portion of the Creation Overweight or Creation Underweight is less than the weight of the next Whole Lot that would be selected by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Selection Protocol, the Administrative Agent shall:
 
 
17

 
 
(A)           select such next Whole Lot in accordance with the Selection Protocol from the Authorized Participant’s Reserve Account (in respect of a Creation Underweight) or from the applicable Trust Account (in respect of a Creation Overweight), and
 
(B)           instruct the Warehouse Administrator to, and the Warehouse Administrator in turn shall, using a book-entry procedure, divide such Whole Lot into two new Fractional Lots and transfer one of such Fractional Lots to such Authorized Participant or the Trust, as follows:
 
(1)           with respect to a Creation Overweight, the Administrative Agent shall select the Whole Lot from the applicable Trust Account, and the Warehouse Administrator shall divide the selected Whole Lot and transfer the Fractional Lot having a weight equal to the remaining portion of the Creation Overweight to such Authorized Participant’s Reserve Account at such Warehouse Location; and
 
(2)           with respect to a Creation Underweight, the Administrative Agent shall select the Whole Lot from the applicable Reserve Account of the Authorized Participant, and the Warehouse Administrator shall divide the selected Whole Lot and transfer the Fractional Lot having a weight equal to the remaining portion of the Creation Underweight to the Trust Account at such Warehouse Location.
 
(vi)           For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of Sections 4(c)(iv) and 4(c)(v) above, any Whole Lots that an Authorized Participant, in its Creation Order, indicates should be transferred to the Trust shall be treated by the Administrative Agent as having already been processed and transferred to the relevant Trust Account, so that such Whole Lots (or portions thereof) may be returned to such Authorized Participant in effectuating the steps in Sections 4(c)(iv) and 4(c)(v) above if those Whole Lots are selected using the Selection Protocol.
 
(vii)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, an Authorized Participant shall not initiate, and the Administrative Agent shall not instruct the Warehouse Administrator to effectuate, a Creation Order pursuant to Section 4 of this Addendum using any Restricted Lot created in connection with a Redemption Order until such Restricted Lot is acknowledged by the Warehouse Administrator as no longer a Restricted Lot.
 
(d)           Issuance of Creation Units.
 
(i)           On the third Trading Day following the processing of a Creation Order pursuant to Section 4(c) of this Addendum, or at such earlier date and time as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may agree with an Authorized Participant, the Administrative Agent shall (A) cause the Trust to issue the aggregate number of Shares corresponding to the number of Creation Units specified by the Authorized Participant in its Creation Order and (B) deliver such Shares to the Authorized Participant by credit to the account at DTC that the Authorized Participant shall have identified for such purpose in its Creation Order; provided that, by 3:00 p.m. New York City time on the date such issuance and delivery is to take place:

(ii)           If, in connection with any Creation Order, any of the conditions and/or requirements set forth in Section 4(d)(i) are not satisfied due to the action or inaction of any Person named therein and an issuance of Creation Units consequently fails to occur, unless the Sponsor instructs otherwise, the Administrative Agent shall instruct the Warehouse Administrator to, and the Warehouse Administrator in turn shall, re-allocate to the Authorized Participant’s Warehouse Accounts a weight of Copper equal to the aggregate Weight of Copper transferred from the Authorized Participant’s Warehouse Accounts to the Trust Account in connection with such failed Creation Order.  To carry out the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall instruct the Warehouse Administrator to, and the Warehouse Administrator in turn shall, allocate via book-entry the Whole Lot(s) and Fractional Lot(s) that were transferred from the Authorized Participant’s Warehouse Accounts back to the applicable Warehouse Accounts from which such Whole Lot(s) and Fractional Lot(s) had been transferred in connection with such Creation Order.  If it is impracticable (due to subsequent allocations of Copper or otherwise) to transfer any such Whole Lot(s) or Fractional Lot(s) back to the Warehouse Accounts of the Authorized Participant, then the Administrative Agent shall instruct the Warehouse Administrator to, and the Warehouse Administrator in turn shall, transfer Whole Lot(s) and/or Fractional Lot(s), as applicable, in the Trust Account, having an aggregate weight equal to the weight of Copper transferred to the Trust Accounts in connection with the failed Creation Order, to the applicable Warehouse Accounts of the Authorized Participant, with such Whole Lot(s) and/or Fractional Lot(s) being selected and transferred in the manner set forth in Section 5(c) (including with respect to any underweight).  In implementing transfers and allocations pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent may consult with and request directions from the Sponsor.  The Administrative Agent shall send to the Authorized Participant (with copy to the Warehouse Administrator), via facsimile or e-mail, as soon as reasonably practicable, a copy of the trade confirmation that the Administrative Agent shall have re-endorsed “Cancelled” along with a follow-up e-mail or facsimile indicating the reason for such cancellation.  The Administrative Agent, the Warehouse Administrator, each Warehouse-keeper Entity and the Sponsor shall have no obligation to re-process any Creation Orders or Redemption Orders submitted by any Authorized Participant that is accepted subsequent to the initial acceptance of a failed Creation Order.  The Administrative Agent, the Warehouse Administrator, each Warehouse-keeper Entity and the Sponsor shall be held harmless against any losses by any Person in connection with such failed Creation Order, including any Authorized Participant and the Trust.

(i)           First, the Administrative Agent shall select, in accordance with the Selection Protocol, specific Whole Lots to be transferred from the Trust to the redeeming Authorized Participant, and shall instruct the Warehouse Administrator to, and the Warehouse Administrator in turn shall, transfer such selected Whole Lots to such Authorized Participant’s Private Account at the applicable Warehouse Location, until the aggregate weight of Whole Lots thereby identified and transferred for such Redemption Order is less than the Aggregate Creation Unit Weight of such Redemption Order and the remaining weight of Copper needed to satisfy the Redemption Order is less than the weight of the next Whole Lot that would be selected pursuant to the Selection Protocol. As of such Order Date, each Whole Lot identified by the Administrative Agent and transferred by the Warehouse Administrator shall be a Restricted Lot until such Redemption Order is either settled pursuant to Section 5(d) or cancelled by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5(e).

(d)           The Administrative Agent shall, by 3:00 p.m. New York City time on the third Trading Day following the Order Date of a Redemption Order, confirm in writing to the Warehouse Administrator whether each of the following has occurred:
 
(i)           the Authorized Participant has delivered to the Administrative Agent’s account at DTC the total number of Shares to be redeemed by such Authorized Participant pursuant to such Redemption Order; and
 
(ii)           the Authorized Participant has paid the Administrative Agent the applicable Transaction Fee for such Redemption Order.
 
 
22

 
 
(e)           With respect to each Redemption Order, assuming the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5(d) above have been met, the Administrative Agent shall provide instructions to the Warehouse Administrator to, and the Warehouse Administrator in turn shall, designate any Whole Lot(s) identified previously as Restricted Lot(s) (as specified in Section 5(c)(i)) to no longer be Restricted Lot(s) .
 
(f)           If, in connection with any Redemption Order, any of the conditions and/or requirements set forth in Section 5(d) above are not satisfied due to the action or inaction of any Person named therein and settlement of such Redemption Order subsequently fails to occur under Section 5(e), unless the Sponsor instructs otherwise, the Administrative Agent shall instruct the Warehouse Administrator to, and the Warehouse Administrator in turn shall, (A) re-allocate via book-entry the previously allocated Whole Lot(s) (i.e., Restricted Lots) from the applicable Private Account of the Authorized Participant back to the applicable Trust Account and (B) allocate via book-entry a Fractional Lot, selected in accordance with the Selection Protocol, from the applicable Reserve Account of the Authorized Participant to the applicable Trust Account that shall be equivalent in weight to the Fractional Lot previously allocated from the Trust Account to the Authorized Participant’s Reserve Account in connection with such failed Redemption Order.  In implementing the Selection Protocol pursuant to clause (B) above, the Administrative Agent may consult with and request directions from the Sponsor.  The Administrative Agent shall send to the Authorized Participant (with copy to the Warehouse Administrator), via facsimile or e-mail, as soon as reasonably practicable, a copy of the trade confirmation (which includes all details of the order) that the Administrative Agent shall have re-endorsed “Cancelled” along with a follow-up e-mail or facsimile indicating the reason for such cancellation.  The Administrative Agent, the Warehouse Administrator, each Warehouse-keeper Entity and the Sponsor shall have no obligation to re-process any Creation Orders or Redemption Orders submitted by any Authorized Participant that is accepted subsequent to the initial acceptance of the failed Redemption Order.  The Administrative Agent, the Warehouse Administrator, each Warehouse-keeper Entity and the Sponsor shall be held harmless against any losses by any Person in connection with such failed Redemption Order, including any Authorized Participant and the Trust.

(ii)           Any accrued Sponsor’s Fee that remains unpaid following any such transfer on any Business Day shall be carried forward to the next Business Day as an Accrued Unpaid Trust Expense.
 
(iii)           The Sponsor may, at any time in its sole discretion, sell for its own account the Copper transferred to its Private Account in payment of the Sponsor’s Fee pursuant to clause 6(e)(i) above, and the value received by the Sponsor in consideration for such sale may be more or less than the value at which such Copper was transferred to the Sponsor.
 
(f)           Payment of Other Expenses.
 
(i)           In order to pay accrued unpaid Other Expenses, the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time upon the direction of the Sponsor, instruct the Warehouse Administrator to, and the Warehouse Administrator in turn shall, effectuate a book-entry transfer of Whole Lots of Copper at the relevant Warehouse Location from the Trust Account to the Sponsor’s Private Account at such Warehouse Location pursuant to the process described in Section 6(d)(ii) above, and such Copper shall be sold and the proceeds applied toward payment of such accrued unpaid Other Expenses.

(ii)           In order to realize cash to pay any such accrued unpaid Other Expenses, the Sponsor shall nominate a broker, in such instance, to assist with the sale of any Whole Lots of Copper that, pursuant to the process described in Section 6(d)(ii) above, have been transferred to a Private Account of the Sponsor.  Any Copper that is transferred to the Sponsor’s Private Account in connection with the payment of Other Expenses, as well as the proceeds from the sale of such Copper, shall continue to be an asset of the Trust, and the Sponsor shall hold such Copper solely as agent for the Trust.  The broker shall be required to seek “best execution” for any such sale, and such broker may consider, among other things, current Copper market conditions, the liquidity in the Copper market, the weight of Copper to be sold, the terms of the available bids for such Copper, and other factors relevant to such sale as such broker, in its sole discretion, considers appropriate at such time.
 
(iii)
 
(A)           If the amount of cash realized upon the sale of Copper for the payment of Other Expenses pursuant to clause 6(f)(ii) above exceeds the accrued unpaid amount of such Other Expenses, the Administrative Agent, at the Sponsor’s direction, shall either (1) distribute such excess cash to the shareholders of the Trust in accordance with Section 12 below, (2) pay such excess to the Sponsor as payment for any accrued unpaid Sponsor’s Fee or (3) apply such excess toward any future Sponsor’s Fee as and when it accrues.
 
(B)           If the amount of cash realized upon the sale of Copper for the payment of Other Expenses pursuant to clause 6(f)(ii) above is less than the accrued unpaid amount of such Other Expenses, the Sponsor shall pay the amount of cash realized upon the sale of such Copper and, with respect to any amount that remains unpaid, the Administrative Agent shall carry such accrued unpaid amount forward to the next Business Day as an Accrued Unpaid Trust Expense.
 
(g)           Transaction Fees.
 
(i)           The Administrative Agent shall notify DTC of any change in the Transaction Fee with respect to any Authorized Participant and shall not implement any increase in the Transaction Fee with respect to any Authorized Participant until 30 days after the date of such notice.

(ii)           NAV per Share.  The Administrative Agent shall calculate NAV per share on each Business Day as promptly as practicable following the calculation of Net Asset Value.
 
(iii)           Creation Unit Ratio.  On each Business Day, as promptly as practicable after 4:00 p.m. New York City time, the Administrative Agent shall calculate the Creation Unit Ratio that will be effective for the next Business Day. The Creation Unit Ratio shall be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:
 
 
(A)
First, the Administrative Agent shall calculate the aggregate weight in Metric Tons of all the Copper owned by the Trust, after giving effect to
 
 
26

 
 
 
(1) any Creation Orders and (2) any Redemption Orders, but before the selection of any Lots of Copper for the purpose of paying Accrued Unpaid Trust Expenses on such Business Day.  The weight of the Copper delivered into or out of the Trust in connection with Creation Orders and Redemption Orders shall be the weight of such Copper as of the applicable Order Date.
 
 
(B)
Second, the Administrative Agent shall calculate the accrued unpaid Sponsor’s Fee, expressed in Metric Tons, owed by the Trust.  The Administrative Agent shall do so by(1) first, calculating the accrued unpaid Sponsor’s Fee in U.S. dollars, (2) second, selecting pursuant to the Selection Protocol (from the population of Whole Lots available in the Trust Accounts) and taking into account their value (including any Locational Premia), the Lots that would need to be transferred or sold to pay such accrued unpaid Sponsor’s Fee in full (including any portion of a Whole Lot, as applicable) and (3) third, calculating the aggregate weight in Metric Tons of such Lots identified in clause (a)(iii)(B)(2) above.
 
 
(C)
Third, the Administrative Agent shall calculate all accrued unpaid Other Expenses, expressed in Metric Tons, owed by the Trust. The Administrative Agent shall proceed in so doing by (1) first, calculating all accrued unpaid Other Expenses in U.S. dollars, (2) second, selecting pursuant to the Selection Protocol (from the population of Whole Lots available in the Trust Accounts, excluding for such purposes any Lots used, either in whole or part, in the calculation described in clause (a)(iii)(B) above) and taking into account their value (including any Locational Premia), the Lots that would need to be transferred or sold to pay such accrued unpaid Other Expenses (including any portion of a Whole Lot, as applicable) and (3) third, calculating the aggregate weight in Metric Tons of such Lots identified in clause (a)(iii)(C)(2) above.
 
 
(D)
Fourth, the Administrative Agent shall subtract the weights determined pursuant to clauses (a)(iii)(B) and (a)(iii)(C) above from the aggregate weight in Metric Tons of all of the Trust’s Copper determined pursuant to clause (a)(iii)(A) above.
 
 
(E)
Fifth, the Administrative Agent shall calculate the Creation Unit Ratio by dividing (x) the weight derived pursuant to clause (a)(iii)(D) above and (y) one-hundredth (1/100) multiplied by the number of Shares then outstanding.
 
(iv)           Creation Unit Weight.     On each Business Day, as soon as practicable following the calculation of the Creation Unit Ratio, the Administrative Agent shall calculate the Creation Unit Weight that will be effective for the next Business Day by multiplying (x) 25.0 Metric Tons of Copper by (y) the Creation Unit Ratio effective for the next Business Day calculated pursuant to Section 7(a)(iii) of this Addendum.
 
(b)           Intraday Indicative Values Provided by the Exchange.      On each day on which the Exchange is open for business, the Exchange shall disseminate, approximately every fifteen (15) seconds, two different intraday indicative values for the Shares: the First-Out IIV and the Liquidation IIV.  Such
 
 
27

 
 
 
intraday indicative values shall be calculated and published by the Exchange using data provided to the Exchange by the Administrative Agent (unless stated otherwise).
 
(i)           First Out IIV.     The Exchange, using data provided to the Exchange by the Administrative Agent (unless stated otherwise), shall calculate the First-Out IIV as follows:
 
 
(A)
First, the Exchange shall calculate an indicative price per Metric Ton of Copper in the Cheapest-to-Deliver Location, which shall be the sum of (x) a deemed intraday indicative cash price per Metric Ton of Copper in U.S. dollars based on either a live cash price or a combination of basis swaps and live intraday futures prices, derived by methods and means established by the Exchange, as of the time of such First-Out IIV calculation, and (y) the last available Locational Premium calculated by the Valuation Agent for Copper in the Cheapest-to-Deliver Location on such Business Day (which shall have been provided to the Exchange by the Administrative Agent);
 
 
(B)
Second, the Exchange shall calculate an indicative value for a Creation Unit Weight of Copper in the Cheapest-to-Deliver Location by multiplying the value calculated in clause (b)(i)(A) above by the Creation Unit Weight in effect for such Business Day (which shall have been provided to the Exchange by the Administrative Agent); and
 
 
(C)
Third, the Exchange shall convert the value obtained in clause (b)(i)(B) above to a U.S. dollar value per Share by dividing the value obtained in clause (b)(i)(B) above by 2,500 (the number of Shares in a Creation Unit).
 
(ii)           Liquidation IIV.  The Exchange, using data provided to the Exchange by the Administrative Agent (unless stated otherwise), shall calculate the Liquidation IIV as follows:
 
 
(A)
First, the Exchange shall determine an indicative price per Metric Ton of Copper reflecting the weighted average price of Copper held in the Trust, calculated as the sum of (x) a deemed intraday indicative cash price per Metric Ton of Copper in U.S. dollars based on either a live cash price or a combination of basis swaps and live intraday futures prices, derived by methods and means established by the Exchange, as of the time of such Liquidation IIV calculation, and (y) the weighted average Locational Premium per Metric Ton, calculated using the Locational Premium calculated by the Valuation Agent for each Warehouse Location in effect for such time for such Business Day, and the number of Metric Tons of Copper held by the Trust at each Warehouse Location on such Business Day (which shall have been provided to the Exchange by the Administrative Agent);
 
 
(B)
Second, the Exchange shall calculate an indicative value for a Creation Unit Weight of Copper in the Trust by multiplying the value calculated in  clause (b)(ii)(A) above by the Creation Unit Weight in effect for such Business Day (which shall have been provided to the Exchange by the Administrative Agent); and
 
 
28

 
 
 
(C)
Third, the Exchange shall convert the value obtained in clause (b)(ii)(B) above to a U.S. dollar value per Share by dividing the value obtained in clause (b)(ii)(B) above by 2,500 (the number of Shares in a Creation Unit).

8.
Change in Cheapest-To-Deliver-Location.
 
Upon receipt of notification from the Valuation Agent on any Business Day that the Cheapest-to-Deliver Location has changed, the Administrative Agent shall instruct the Warehouse Administrator to, and the Warehouse Administrator in turn shall, reallocate the ownership of all the Copper held in the Trust Accounts and all the Copper held in the Authorized Participants’ Reserve Accounts pursuant to the following procedure (such procedure, the “Cheapest-to-Deliver Rotation Procedure”) prior to the processing of any Creations Orders or Redemption Orders, the calculation of Trust Expenses or the calculation of the Trust’s Net Asset Value by the Administrative Agent on such Business Day:

(a)           First, the Administrative Agent shall rank all of the Authorized Participants, based on the weight of all the Copper held in their respective Reserve Accounts prior to the initiation of the Cheapest to Deliver Rotation Procedure, from largest to smallest.
 
(b)           Second, the Administrative Agent shall notionally aggregate (i) all of the Divided Lots with (ii) all of the Whole Lots, in each case held in the respective Reserve Accounts and in the respective Trust Accounts to form Initial Aggregated Lots.
 
(c)           Third, the Administrative Agent shall execute the steps in clauses 8(c)(i) through 8(d) below, processing each Authorized Participant successively, beginning with the Authorized Participant with the greatest sum of respective Reserve Accounts ranked pursuant to Section 8(a) above that has not yet been processed until each Authorized Participant has been processed in the order prescribed pursuant to such Section 8(a).
 
(i)           The Administrative Agent shall first notionally allocate only Whole Lots, selected in accordance with the Selection Protocol from the notionally Aggregated Lots, to such Authorized Participant, such that the weight in Metric Tons of the Copper notionally allocated to such Authorized Participant is as nearly equal as possible to, but not more than, the original weight of the sum of all the Copper held in such Authorized Participant’s respective Reserve Accounts prior to the commencement of this Cheapest-to-Deliver Rotation Procedure.
 
 
32

 
 
(ii)           Next, to the extent that the aggregate weight of the Whole Lots notionally allocated to such Authorized Participant pursuant to clause 8(c)(i) above is less than the original weight of the sum of all the Copper held in such Authorized Participant’s respective Reserve Accounts prior to the commencement of this Cheapest-to-Deliver Rotation Procedure, the Administrative Agent shall (A) select the next available Lot in accordance with the Selection Protocol from the remaining notionally Aggregated Lots (after effectuating the step in clause 8(c)(i) above),(B) notionally allocate a portion of such Lot (i.e., a Fractional Lot), comprising a weight of Copper equal to such difference, to such Authorized Participant and (C) notionally allocate the remainder of such Lot (i.e., the corresponding Fractional Lot) to the Trust.
 
(iii)           Next, the Administrative Agent shall reduce the number of Aggregated Lots by removing the Whole Lots notionally allocated to such Authorized Participant in clause 8(c)(i) above and the Fractional Lots notionally allocated to such Authorized Participant in clause 8(c)(ii) above from the population of Aggregated Lots (such remaining notional population of Aggregated Lots, at any time, the “Remaining Aggregated Lots”).
 
(d)           Finally, to the extent that the Whole Lots notionally allocated to each Authorized Participant pursuant to clause 8(c)(i) above and the Fractional Lots notionally allocated to each Authorized Participant pursuant to clause 8(c)(ii) above differ from the Whole Lots and Fractional Lots held in each such Authorized Participant’s respective Reserve Accounts prior to processing such Authorized Participant using this Cheapest-to-Deliver Rotation Procedure, the Administrative Agent shall instruct the Warehouse Administrator to, and the Warehouse Administrator in turn shall, effect the corresponding changes in ownership of the Whole Lots and Fractional Lots held in each such Authorized Participant’s respective Reserve Accounts and the Whole Lots and corresponding Fractional Lots held in the Trust Accounts.

Warehouse Locations.
 
(a)           Permitted Warehouse Locations.  Pursuant to the terms of the Warehouse Agreements, the Trust, the Sponsor and each Authorized Participant shall be permitted, at any time, to hold Copper at any Permitted Warehouse Location.  The Sponsor shall promptly notify the Valuation Agent of any addition or removal of Warehouse Locations by the Sponsor pursuant to Section 9(b) or Section 9(c) below and promptly deliver to the Valuation Agent a revised Exhibit B.1 to the Valuation Agreement in such instance.
 
(b)           Addition of Permitted Warehouse Locations.  The Sponsor may add a storage location to the list of Permitted Warehouse Locations on Appendix A to this Addendum (and such storage location shall be added to the list of Permitted Warehouse Locations in each Warehouse Agreement) upon at least five (5) Business Days notice to the Administrative Agent, the Warehouse Administrator, each Authorized Participant and the Valuation Agent only if:
 
(i)           such storage location is a location in which a Warehouse-keeper Entity is permitted to store Copper (either directly or indirectly through sub-contracting arrangements as described in the Warehouse Agreements), which is a bonded, tax-free zone and the standards for warehousing and security are considered by the applicable Warehouse-keeper Entity to be appropriate or similar to the then-Permitted Warehouse Locations and the applicable Warehouse-keeper Entity agrees to the addition of such location to the list of Permitted Locations;
 
(ii)           the Valuation Agent (A) confirms to the Sponsor that such storage location has an active trading market that is sufficiently liquid, (B) with respect to any increase in the number of Permitted Warehouse Locations by more than 50% at any one time, consents to such increase and (C)
 
 
33

 
 
agrees with the Sponsor to amend the Valuation Agreement to provide valuation services to the Trust for such storage location on the same terms and conditions as the then-Permitted Warehouse Locations;
 
(iii)           (A) pursuant to the terms of the Warehouse Agreements, the Warehouse-keeper amends such Warehouse Agreements to permit the Trust, each Authorized Participant and the Sponsor to hold Copper at such storage location and (B) the terms and conditions for such storage location are substantially similar to the terms and conditions of the then-Permitted Warehouse Locations;
 
(iv)           the Sponsor receives confirmation in writing from local counsel at the applicable location (and, in the Sponsor’s reasonable discretion, from other counsel) that (A) the Trust will hold good and valid title to any Copper delivered to the Trust at such storage location pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement and the Administrative Agency Agreement and (B) the Trust will not be materially adversely affected by any taxes levied upon the Trust as a result of the addition of such storage location (all fees and expenses incurred in obtaining such advice from legal counsel being borne by the Trust as an Other Expense); and
 
(v)           the Sponsor receives confirmation in writing from the applicable insurance brokers that the then-existing insurance coverage (if any) provided with respect to the assets of the Trust will apply to a loss incurred at such storage location with no incremental increase in cost to the premium rate payable by the Trust in connection with the Trust’s then-existing insurance coverage (if any).
 
(c)           Removal of Permitted Warehouse Locations.  The Sponsor and the Valuation Agent shall periodically review the Permitted Warehouse Locations and shall evaluate whether any storage location shall be removed, pursuant to Section 9(c)(i) below, from the list of Permitted Warehouse Locations at such time.
 
(i)           The Sponsor shall remove a storage location from the list of Permitted Warehouse Locations on Appendix A of this Addendum (and such warehouse location shall be removed by the Warehouse-keeper from the list of Permitted Warehouse Locations on Schedule HB of each Warehouse Agreement) at any time upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Trust and each Authorized Participant,
 
(A)           if the Sponsor determines that, due to the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule, regulation or order (including, without limitation, any tax law), or the promulgation of, or any change in, any interpretation by any court, tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction of any applicable law, rule, regulation or order:
 
(1)           it has become or is likely to become unlawful for the Trust or any Authorized Participant to hold, acquire or dispose of Copper in the applicable Warehouse Location; or
 
(2)           the Trust or any Authorized Participant may incur a materially increased cost in holding, acquiring or disposing of Copper in the applicable location (including, without limitation, due to any increase in tax liability, decrease in tax benefit or other adverse effect on its tax position).
 
(B)           upon notice from the Warehouse Administrator to the Sponsor, the Administrative Agent and the Trustee that a Warehouse-keeper Entity intends to
 
 
34

 
 
discontinue operations in such location or otherwise intends to cease providing services to the Trust at such storage location; or
 
(C)           upon notice from the Sponsor to the Administrative Agent, the Valuation Agent, the Warehouse Administrator and the Trustee, if the Sponsor has determined, following consultation with the Valuation Agent, that there is a lack of an active trading market for physical Copper at such location.
 
(ii)           If the Trust holds Copper in a Warehouse Location that is removed from the list of Permitted Warehouse Locations pursuant to Section 9(c), the Sponsor shall arrange for the transportation of such Copper to another Permitted Warehouse Location.  Subject to Section 9(c)(iii)(B) below, the Trust shall bear all costs and expenses in connection with such transportation as an Other Expense.  The Sponsor shall determine the Permitted Warehouse Location to which such Copper shall be transported in its sole discretion and shall consider, among other criteria, the Locational Premia for each potential Permitted Warehouse Location and the cost of transporting such Copper to such Permitted Warehouse Location.
 
(iii)           If an Authorized Participant holds Copper at a Warehouse Location that is removed from the list of Permitted Warehouse Locations pursuant to Section 9(c),
 
(A)           (1) first, such Authorized Participant shall, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of notice of such removal, instruct the Warehouse Administrator to transfer via book entry all Whole Lots of Copper, if any, held by such Authorized Participant in such Authorized Participant’s Reserve Account at such Warehouse Location to such Authorized Participant’s Private Account at such Warehouse Location and (2) next, the Authorized Participant and the relevant Warehouse-keeper Entity shall cooperate in order to physically remove all Whole Lots of Copper held in such Authorized Participant’s Private Account at such Warehouse Location in accordance with the terms of such Authorized Participant’s Warehouse Agreement; and
 
(B)           the Administrative Agent shall instruct the Warehouse Administrator to, and the Warehouse Administrator shall, reallocate any Fractional Lot of Copper held in such Authorized Participant’s Reserve Account at such Warehouse Location to the Permitted Warehouse Location selected by the Sponsor in accordance with Section 9(c)(ii) (the cost of transportation of the Divided Lot to which such Fractional Lot pertains being apportioned by the Administrative Agent, upon instruction from the Sponsor, between such Authorized Participant and the Trust pro rata to the fractions held by each in such Divided Lot).
 
Except as otherwise set forth in clause (B) above, such Authorized Participant shall bear all costs and expenses in connection with the removal of such Copper in accordance with this Section 9(c)(iii).
 
10.

(iii)           for such other period as the Sponsor determines in its sole discretion to be necessary for the protection of shareholders or, at the Sponsor’s election, any creditor.
 
(c)           The Warehouse Administrator shall, with respect to any or all Warehouse-keeper Entities or Permitted Warehouse Locations, when directed by the Sponsor, suspend the transfer of Copper to or from the Trust or any Authorized Participant or the Sponsor, as applicable, if the Sponsor at any time determines it to be advisable for any reason, and shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any such suspension.  Any Creation Order or Redemption Order that has already been accepted by the Administrative Agent prior to the receipt of such notice shall, to the extent possible, be processed accordingly.
 
(d)           The Warehouse Administrator may, with respect to any or all Warehouse-keeper Entities or Permitted Warehouse Locations, in its discretion, suspend the transfer of Copper to or from the Trust, any Authorized Participant or the Sponsor, as applicable:
 
(i)           for any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which transfer, delivery, disposal or evaluation of Copper is not commercially practicable; or

11.
