            (i)    each of the Holding Trusts (x) a limited, non-exclusive,
                  non-transferable, fee-based license, throughout the Territory
                  for the Term to use the Licensed Patents and Know-How solely
                  in connection with each Licensee's activities as an issuer of
                  the Holding Shares that employ the MACROs Structure, (y) a
                  limited, non-exclusive, and non-transferable, fee-based
                  license throughout the Territory for the Term to use the
                   Marks solely as a part of the name of each Holding Trust and
                  the MACRO Holding Shares issued by such Holding Trust, and
                  (z) a limited, non-exclusive, and non-transferable, fee-based
                  sub-license throughout the

                                      T-3
<PAGE>

                  Territory for the Term to use the Claymore Mark solely as
                  part of the Product Name in connection with each Holding
                  Trust's name and the names of the MACRO Holding Shares issued
                  by such Holding Trust; and

            (ii)   each of the Tradeable Trusts (x) a limited, non-exclusive,
                  non-transferable, license throughout the Territory for the
                   Term to use the Licensed Patents and Know-How solely in
                  connection with each Licensee's activities as an issuer of
                  the respective MACRO Tradeable Shares that employ the MACROs
                  Structure, (y) a limited, non-exclusive, and
                  non-transferable, royalty-free license throughout the
                  Territory for the Term to use the Marks solely as a part of
                  the name of each Tradeable Trust and the MACRO Tradeable
                  Shares issued by such Tradeable Trust, and (z) a limited,
                  non-exclusive, and non-transferable, fee-based sub-license
                  throughout the Territory for the Term to use the Claymore
                  Mark solely as part of the Product Name in connection with
                  each Tradeable Trust's name and the names of the MACRO
                  Tradeable Shares issued by such Tradeable Trust (collectively
                  with (i), the "Licenses").

      (b) No Right to Sublicense. Each Licensee hereby expressly agrees not to
sublicense the Licenses to any Person without the express prior written consent
of Licensor.

      (c) Invalidation of Licensed Patents. Each Licensee acknowledges that the
overall value of the licensed system is a function of, among other factors, the
total Asset Amounts of the Holding Trusts. Accordingly, for administrative
convenience, the royalties set forth in Section 5(a) hereunder are calculated
based on the total Asset Amounts of the Holding Trusts regardless of whether a
portion of such MACRO Holding Shares or MACRO Trading Shares are sold and/or
administered in countries in which there are no pending, or in force, Licensed
Patents. However, in the event that all of the patent claims in all of the
Licensed Patents in the United States and any other jurisdiction within the
Territory in which a substantial amount of revenue is derived and/or a
substantial portion of the administration occurs (collectively, with the United
States, the "Main Markets") have expired, or in the event that all of the
patent claims in all remaining unexpired Licensed Patents in the Main Markets
are finally determined (i.e., after exhaustion of all potential appeals) to be
unpatentable, invalid or unenforceable by a court or other government agency of
competent jurisdiction in all jurisdictions in which the Holding Shares and
Offering Shares are sold, offered for sale, issued, or administered, the
Licensing Fees payable under Section 5(a) hereunder shall automatically be
reduced by five (5%) percent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such royalty
reduction shall apply to the Licensing Fee if a Licensed Patent that is pending
or in force in the Main Markets.

      (d) Marking; Usage Guidelines. Each Licensee shall mark patent rights
with respect to any patents licensed hereunder in a manner as reasonably
directed by Licensor and/or approved by Licensor in writing in advance, such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Each Licensee shall include
appropriate service mark and trademark notices, including the following written
notice in connection with its use of the Licensed Marks (or such other written
ownership notice as reasonably requested by Licensor from time to time):
"[insert Mark] are service marks of Macro Markets, LLC and are used under
license to [Licensee]." Each Licensee shall designate the MACRO Structure, the
MACRO Holding Shares and the MACRO Tradeable Shares only through the use of the
Product Name. Each Licensee shall adhere to Licensor's trademark usage
guidelines with respect to the Marks and the Claymore Marks as issued by
Licensor from time to time.

      (e) Compliance with Law. Licensee shall comply with all applicable laws
and regulations in connection with the creation, development, and marketing of
the MACRO Structured Product, including all regulations of the SEC, NASD and
any other applicable federal or state regulatory authorities.

                                      T-4
<PAGE>

      (f) ALL RIGHTS NOT SPECIFICALLY AND EXPRESSLY GRANTED TO LICENSEES IN
THIS ARTICLE 2 ARE HEREBY RESERVED TO LICENSOR.

      (g) Quality Control. Licensor shall have the right to review all uses of
the Marks and the Claymore Marks by each Licensee hereunder, and Licensees
shall furnish in advance to Licensor all materials, including, where
applicable, any prospectus, or other offering, marketing, and promotional
materials, to be used hereunder (collectively, the "Materials") in connection
with the Trusts in which any of the Marks and the Claymore Marks are used, for
Licensor's prior review and approval of the uses of the Marks and Claymore
Marks therein. In the event the Materials are issued in a language other than
English, Licensee shall provide Licensor with an English translation of the
relevant portion of such materials. Licensor shall promptly notify Licensee
following receipt thereof from Licensee. If Licensor does not approve of any
use, it shall advise Licensee of its reasons. In this regard, each Licensee
agrees that the quality of the services, in connection with which the Marks and
the Claymore Marks may or will be used by such Licensee as permitted herein,
will be commensurate with Licensor's reputation for reliability and high
quality in financial services, and Licensor shall have the right to require
each Licensee to adhere to that standard of quality. Each Licensee shall do
nothing hereunder which will impair the validity of the Marks or the Claymore
Marks, Licensor's or Claymore's rights in the Marks or the Claymore Marks,
respectively, or the good will symbolized by each of the Marks.

3.     ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RIGHTS.

      (a) Property Rights. Each Licensee acknowledges that the Licensed Patents
and Know-How, the MACROs Structure and the Marks are and, under all
circumstances shall remain, the sole and exclusive property of Licensor. All
goodwill resulting from usage of the Licenses by Licensees pursuant to the
License Agreement shall accrue to the benefit of Licensor.

      (b) Acknowledgement of Rights. Each Licensee agrees and acknowledges that
the marks are the valuable property of, and are owned by, Licensor. Each
Licensee will not directly or indirectly: (i) challenge or contest the validity
or enforceability of the Licenses; (ii) dispute the validity, enforceability or
Licensor's ownership of the Marks, or initiate or participate in any proceeding
of any kind opposing the grant of Marks, or challenging any trademark
application in connection with the Marks; (iii) apply to register or otherwise
obtain registration of (A) the Licenses, or (B) the Marks or any variation
thereon or derivative thereof with any trademark, business or domain name
registrar; or (iv) assist any other Person to do any of the foregoing (except
if and to the extent required by court order or subpoena). Any violation of
this Section 3(b) will constitute a material breach of the License Agreement.

      (c) Maintaining the Licenses. Each Licens
