Morgan Physical Copper Trust (the “Trust”), a statutory trust created under Delaware law pursuant to the provisions of the Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) dated as of [•], 2011, as amended from time to time.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Master Terms Addendum attached as Schedule 1 hereto (the “Addendum,” and together with this Authorized Participant Agreement and the other Schedules attached hereto, collectively, the “Agreement”).
 
W I T N E S S E T H :
 
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the Trust Agreement, the Trust may from time to time issue or redeem beneficial interests in the Trust (“Shares”), in each case only in aggregations of 2,500 Shares (each, a “Creation Unit”), and integral multiples thereof, and only in transactions with a party who, at the time of the transaction, shall have entered into an effective Authorized Participant Agreement with the Trust; and
 
WHEREAS, [•] has requested to become an “Authorized Participant” with respect to the Trust (as such term is defined in the Addendum), and the Sponsor has agreed to such request.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and undertakings herein contained, the parties agree as follows:
 
 
ARTICLE 1
Orders for Purchase and Redemption
 
Section 1.01.  Orders.
 
(a)      To place Creation Orders or Redemption Orders for the creation and redemption of one or more Creation Units (each, an “Order”), the Authorized Participant shall follow the procedures set forth in this Agreement, including the Addendum, as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (collectively, the “Procedures”).  All Orders shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
 
(b)      Each party hereto agrees to comply with the provisions of the Prospectus and the Agreement to the extent applicable to it.
 
Section 1.02.  Warehouse Agreement.  The Authorized Participant shall enter into, or cause its designated agent or nominee to enter into, a Warehouse Agreement with the Warehouse-keeper (an “Authorized Participant’s Warehouse Agreement”).  [To the extent that such Authorized Participant’s Warehouse Agreement is entered into by the Authorized Participant’s designated agent or nominee, the Authorized Participant agrees that it shall be liable [to the Warehouse-keeper] for the agent’s or nominee’s performance and obligations under such agreement.]
 
 
 

 
 
Section 1.03.  Irrevocability.  The Authorized Participant agrees that, except as and to the extent set forth in the Addendum, each Order placed with the Administrative Agent shall be irrevocable.
 
Section 1.04.  Title to Deposit Property and Shares Surrendered for Redemption.  The Authorized Participant represents and warrants to the Sponsor that:
 
(a)      in connection with each Creation Order, the Authorized Participant [(or its designated agent or nominee)] shall have full power and authority to transfer to the Trust all Whole Lots specified in its Order Form pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii) of the Addendum and any Fractional Lots held in its Resource Account, and upon delivery of any such Whole Lots on Fractional Lots to the Trust in accordance with the Procedures, the Trust shall acquire good and unencumbered title to such property, free and clear of all liens, charges, duties imposed on the transfer of assets and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claims or transferability restrictions, whether arising by operation of law or otherwise; and
 
(b)      in connection with a Redemption Order, the Authorized Participant shall have full power and authority to surrender to the Administrative Agent for redemption the corresponding Shares, and upon such surrender the Trust shall acquire good and unencumbered title to such Shares, free and clear of all liens, charges, duties imposed on the transfer of assets and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claims, transferability restrictions (whether arising by operation of law or otherwise), loan, pledge, repurchase or securities lending agreements or other arrangements which would preclude the delivery of such Shares on a “regular way” basis.
 
Section 1.05.  Consent to Recording.  The phone lines used by the Sponsor, the Administrative Agent and the Warehouse-keeper, or their affiliated persons, may be recorded, and the Authorized Participant hereby consents to the recording of all calls with any of those parties.

Section 2.01.  Certification.  Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time thereafter, the Authorized Participant shall deliver a certificate, signed by the Authorized Participant’s secretary or duly authorized official, setting forth the names, titles, contact information and signatures of all persons authorized to give instructions relating to activity contemplated hereby or by any other notice, request or instruction given on behalf of the Authorized Participant (each an “Authorized Representative”) to the Administrative Agent in the form of Schedule 2.  The Administrative Agent may accept and rely upon such certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts set forth therein and shall consider such certificate to be in full force and effect until the Administrative Agent receives a superseding certificate bearing a subsequent date.
 
Section 2.02.  [Reserved]
 
Section 2.03.  Termination of Authority.  Upon the termination or revocation of authority of an Authorized Representative by the Authorized Participant, the Authorized Participant shall give immediate written notice of such fact to the Administrative Agent and such notice shall be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent.
 
Section 2.04.  Verification.  The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to verify that an Order is being placed by an Authorized Representative.  The Authorized Participant agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for any losses incurred by the Authorized Participant as a

result of an Authorized Representative identifying himself or herself as a different Authorized Representative or an unauthorized person identifying himself or herself as an Authorized Representative.
 
ARTICLE 3
Status and Obligations of the Authorized Participant
 
Section 3.01.  Clearing Status.  The Authorized Participant represents, covenants and warrants that, as of the date of execution of this Agreement, and at all times during the term of this Agreement, the Authorized Participant is and will be entitled to use the clearing and settlement services of each of the national or international clearing and settlement organizations through which, in compliance with the Procedures, the transactions contemplated hereby will clear and settle.  Any change in the foregoing status of the Authorized Participant shall terminate the Agreement and the Authorized Participant shall give immediate notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Sponsor.
 
Section 3.02.  Broker-Dealer Status.  The Authorized Participant represents, covenants and warrants that, unless Section 3.03 is applicable to it, the Authorized Participant either (i) is registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is a member in good standing of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), or (ii) is exempt from being, or otherwise is not required to be, licensed as a broker-dealer or a member of FINRA, and in either case is qualified to act as a broker or dealer in the states or other jurisdictions where the nature of its business so requires.  The Authorized Participant shall maintain any such registrations, qualifications and membership in good standing and in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement.  The Authorized Participant shall comply with all applicable federal law, the laws of the states or other jurisdictions concerned, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable to the Authorized Participant’s transactions in Shares, and with the FINRA By-Laws and Conduct Rules of the NASD (or with comparable FINRA Conduct Rules, if such NASD Conduct Rules are repealed, rescinded, or are otherwise replaced by FINRA Conduct Rules) to the extent the foregoing relates to the Authorized Participant’s activities with respect to Shares.  The Authorized Participant shall be solely responsible for determining the application of any such laws or regulations in all cases at its own expense.  The Authorized Participant shall not directly or indirectly offer, sell or deliver Shares in or from any state or jurisdiction where they may not lawfully be offered, sold and/or delivered.
 
Section 3.03.  Foreign Status.  If the Authorized Participant is offering and selling Shares in jurisdictions outside the several states, territories and possessions of the United States and is not otherwise required to be registered, qualified, or a member of FINRA as set forth in Section 3.02, the Authorized Participant represents, covenants and warrants that it shall (i) observe the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which such offer and/or sale is made, (ii) comply with the full disclosure requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and (iii) conduct its business in accordance with the spirit of the FINRA Conduct Rules, to the extent the foregoing relates to the Authorized Participant’s transactions in, and activities with respect to, Shares.
 
Section 3.04.  Compliance with Certain Laws.  The operations of the Authorized Participant are and have been conducted at all times in compliance with all applicable financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements, including those of the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended by Title III of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (USA PATRIOT Act), and the applicable anti-money laundering statutes of jurisdictions where the Authorized Participant conducts business, the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency

(collectively, the “Anti-Money Laundering Laws”), and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Authorized Participant with respect to the Anti-Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Authorized Participant, threatened.
 
Section 3.05.  Authorized Participant Status.  The Authorized Participant understands and acknowledges that the method by which Creation Units of Shares will be created and traded may raise certain issues under applicable securities laws.  For example, because new Creation Units of Shares may be issued and sold by the Trust on an ongoing basis, at any point a “distribution”, as such term is used in the 1933 Act, may occur.  The Authorized Participant understands and acknowledges that some activities on its part, depending on the circumstances, may result in it being deemed a participant in a distribution in a manner which could render it a statutory underwriter and subject it to the prospectus delivery and liability provisions of the 1933 Act.
 
ARTICLE 4
Role of Authorized Participant
 
Section 4.01.  Independent Contractor.
 
(a)      The Authorized Participant acknowledges and agrees that, for all purposes of this Agreement, the Authorized Participant shall have no authority to act as agent for the Trust, the Sponsor, the Administrative Agent or the Warehouse-keeper in any matter or in any respect.
 
(b)      The Authorized Participant agrees to make itself and its employees available, upon request, during normal business hours to consult with the Sponsor or its designee concerning the performance of the Authorized Participant’s responsibilities under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Authorized Participant shall be under no obligation to divulge or otherwise disclose any information that the Authorized Participant reasonably believes (i) it is under legal obligation not to disclose, or (ii) is confidential or proprietary to it in nature.
 
Section 4.02.  Rights and Obligations of DTC Participant.  The Authorized Participant, as a participant of the Depository Trust Company (as such a participant, a “DTC Participant”), agrees that it shall be bound by all of the obligations of a DTC Participant in addition to any obligations that it undertakes hereunder or in accordance with the Procedures.
 
Section 4.03.  Beneficial Owner Communications.  The Authorized Participant agrees (i) subject to any limitations arising under federal or state securities laws relating to privacy, its internal privacy policies or other obligations it may have to its customers, to assist the Sponsor and the Administrative Agent in determining certain information regarding sales of Shares made by or through the Authorized Participant (including, without limitation, the ownership level of each beneficial owner relating to positions in Shares that the Authorized Participant may hold as record holder) upon the request of the Sponsor or the Administrative Agent that is necessary for the Sponsor or the Administrative Agent to comply with any obligations to distribute information to beneficial owners of Shares under applicable state or federal securities laws or (ii) in lieu thereof, and at the option of the Authorized Participant, to forward to such beneficial owners written materials and communications received from the Sponsor in sufficient quantities to allow mailing thereof to such beneficial owners, including notices, annual reports, disclosure or other informational materials and any amendments or supplements thereto that may be required to be sent to such beneficial owners pursuant applicable law or regulation or otherwise, or that the Sponsor reasonably wishes to distribute to such beneficial owners, in each case at the expense of the Sponsor and/or the Trust.

Section 5.03.  Identification in Registration Statement.  For as long as this Agreement is effective, the Authorized Participant agrees to be identified as an Authorized Participant of the Trust (i) in the section of the Prospectus entitled “The Authorized Participants” and in any other section, if and to the extent required by the SEC and (ii) on the Trust’s website.
