The Sponsor is purchasing the initial Share solely for the purpose of forming the Trust. The Sponsor will redeem the initial Share for 100 Euro as promptly as practicable after the Form S-1 registration statement filed with the Commission with respect to the Shares is declared effective by the Commission and the Initial Purchaser, as defined in the registration statement, deposits Euro in accordance with the registration statement.

(a) The Certificates evidencing Shares shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B annexed to this Agreement, with appropriate insertions, modifications and omissions, as hereinafter provided.

The Trustee shall maintain books on which the registered ownership of each Share and transfers, if any, of such registered ownership shall be recorded. Certificates evidencing Shares bearing the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized signatory of the Trustee and the manual signature of a duly authorized officer of the Registrar, if applicable, who was, at the time such Certificates were executed, a proper signatory of the Trustee or Registrar, if applicable, shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such signatory has ceased to hold such office prior to the delivery of such Certificates.

(b) The Certificates may be endorsed with or have incorporated in the text thereof such legends or recitals or modifications not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement as may be required by the Trustee or required to comply with any applicable law or regulations thereunder or with the rules and regulations of the Exchange or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which the Shares evidenced by a particular Certificate are subject.

(c) The Sponsor and the Trustee will apply to DTC for acceptance of the Shares in its book-entry settlement system. Shares deposited with DTC shall be evidenced by one or more global Certificates which shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC, and shall bear the following legend:

10

UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION (“ DTC ”), TO THE AGENT AUTHORIZED BY THE ISSUER FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

(d) So long as the Shares are eligible for book-entry settlement with DTC and such settlement is available, unless otherwise required by law, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.2(a) and Section 2.2(b), all Shares shall be evidenced by one or more global Certificates the Registered Owner of which is DTC or a nominee of DTC and (i) no Beneficial Owner of Shares will be entitled to receive a separate Certificate evidencing those Shares, (ii) the interest of a Beneficial Owner in Shares represented by a global Certificate will be shown only on, and transfer of that interest will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC or a DTC Participant or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner holds that interest and (iii) the rights of a Beneficial Owner with respect to Shares represented by a global Certificate will be exercised only to the extent allowed by, and in compliance with, the arrangements in effect between such Beneficial Owner and DTC or the DTC Participant or Indirect Participant through which that Beneficial Owner holds an interest in Shares.

(e) If, at any time when Shares are evidenced by a global Certificate, DTC ceases to make its book-entry settlement system available for such Shares, the Trustee shall execute and deliver separate Certificates evidencing Shares to the DTC Participants entitled thereto, with such additions, deletions and modifications to this Agreement and to the form of Certificate evidencing Shares as the Sponsor and the Trustee may agree.

11

(f) Title to a Certificate evidencing Shares (and to the Shares evidenced thereby), when properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer, shall be transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of a negotiable instrument under the laws of New York; provided , however , that the Trustee, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, may treat the Registered Owner of Shares as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of determining the person entitled to any distribution or to any notice provided for in this Agreement and for all other purposes.

Section 2.3 Deposit of Euro .

(a) After the initial deposit of Euro in the Trust, the issuance and Delivery of Shares will take place only in integral numbers of Baskets and in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, as supplemented by any procedures attached to an applicable Authorized Participant Agreement, to the extent those procedures are consistent with this Agreement. Authorized Participants wishing to acquire from the Trustee one or more Baskets must place an order with the Trustee (a “ Purchase Order ”). Purchase Orders received by the Trustee prior to the Order Cutoff Time on a New York Business Day will have that day as the Order Date. Purchase Orders received on a day that is not a New York Business Day or received after the Order Cutoff Time on a New York Business Day will have the next following New York Business Day as the Order Date. The “ Settlement Date ” for a Purchase Order shall be the third New York Business Day following the Order Date unless that day is not a London Business Day, in which case the Settlement Date shall be the next following day that is both a New York Business Day and a London Business Day. As consideration for each Basket acquired, Authorized Participants must deposit with the Depository the Basket Euro Amount determined by the Trustee on the Business Day prior to the Settlement Date for the corresponding Purchase Order. The Basket Euro Amount shall be deposited in the Interest Account; provided, however , that the Trustee shall withdraw from the Interest Account and deposit in the Non-Interest Account an amount which represents a pro rata share of accrued but unpaid interest pursuant to Section 6.5.

(b) The Trustee shall determine the Basket Euro Amount for each New York Business Day. The initial “ Basket Euro Amount ” is 5,000,000 Euro. After the initial deposit, the “ Basket Euro Amount ” shall be an amount of Euro equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the NAV per Basket on the date on which the determination is being made by the Relevant Price on such date. For purposes of this computation, “ NAV per Basket ” is the product obtained by multiplying (x) the NAV per Share determined in compliance with Section 4.1, by (y) the number of Shares which constitute a Basket on the date on which the determination is being made. Fractions of a Euro smaller than .001 shall be disregarded. The Sponsor intends to publish, or may designate other persons to publish, for each New York Business Day, the Basket Euro Amount.

(c) If the Trust Property includes Surplus Property, no deposits of Euro will be accepted until after a record date for distribution of that money or property, or proceeds from that property, has passed.

Thereupon the Trustee shall execute a new Certificate or Certificates evidencing such Shares, and deliver the same to or upon the order of the Person entitled thereto.

(c) The Trustee, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall, upon Surrender of a Certificate or Certificates evidencing Shares for the purposes of effecting a split-up or combination of that certificate or certificates, execute and deliver one or more new Certificates evidencing those Shares.

In carrying out its functions, a co-transfer agent may require evidence of authority and compliance with applicable laws and other requirements by Registered Owners or Persons entitled to Shares and will be entitled to protection and indemnity to the same extent as the Trustee.

Authorized Participants wishing to redeem one or more Baskets must place an order with the Trustee (a “ Redemption Order ”). Redemption Orders received by the Trustee prior to the Order Cutoff Time on a New York Business Day will have that day as the Order Date.

(b) add interest accrued but unpaid on the Interest Account through the preceding day;

(c) subtract the accrued but unpaid Sponsor’s Fee through the preceding day;

(3) taxes and other governmental charges;

(4) expenses and costs of any extraordinary services performed by the Trustee or the Sponsor on behalf of the Trust or action taken by the Trustee or the Sponsor to protect the Trust or the interests of Registered Owners; and

(5) indemnification of the Sponsor as provided in Section 7.1(d).

(b) On first day of each month that is both a London Business Day and a New York Business Day, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Non-Interest Account amounts necessary to pay the Trust expenses provided for in Section 4.7(a) and any otherwise unpaid expenses hereunder. In the event that the expenses exceed the balance of the Non-Interest Account, such excess shall be withdrawn from the Interest Account. The Trustee will withdraw and sell sufficient Euro to purchase an amount of currency other than Euro sufficient to pay any Trust expenses payable other than in Euro and the costs of currency conversion.

22

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by the Sponsor and agreed to by the Trustee, the Trustee will advance amounts out of its own funds for the payment of Trust expenses, provided that the amount advanced at any time shall not exceed $20,000. The amount of such advances, plus the cost of meeting reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, together with interest thereon at a percentage rate equal to then-current overnight federal funds rate, shall be expenses of the Trust. The Trustee shall have a lien on the balances on hand in the Interest Account and Non-Interest Account to the extent of all amounts advanced by it pursuant to this Section 4.7(c), which lien shall be superior to the interest of the Registered Owners.

(d) The Trustee is conclusively authorized to sell Euro in the smallest amounts required to permit payment of Trust expenses, it being the intention to minimize the Trust’s holdings of assets other than Euro. Neither the Trustee nor the Sponsor shall have any liability for loss or depreciation resulting from sales of Euro so made.

Section 4.8 Statements and Reports .

After the end of each fiscal year and within the time period required by applicable laws, rules and regulations, at the Sponsor’s expense, the Trustee shall send to the Registered Owners as of the end of such fiscal year, an annual report of the Trust containing financial statements audited by independent accountants designated by the Sponsor and such other information as may be required by such laws, rules and regulations or otherwise, or which the Sponsor determines shall be included. The Trustee may distribute the annual report by any means acceptable to the Registered Owners and that complies with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

23

Section 4.9 Further Provisions for Sales of Trust Property; Currency Conversion .

In addition to selling Euro in accordance with Section 4.7, the Trustee shall sell Euro whenever any one or more of the following conditions exist:

(i) the Sponsor has notified the Trustee that such sale is required by applicable law or regulation; or

(ii) the Trust is to be terminated and its assets liquidated in accordance with Section 8.2.

When the Trustee is required or permitted to sell Trust Property, it may sell that Trust Property by public or private sale in any manner and on any terms that are (i) commercially reasonable in the circumstances and (ii) reasonably calculated to maximize the value of the Trust Property while taking into account any duty of the Trustee under this Agreement to sell that Trust Property as promptly as practicable.

However, whenever the Trustee is required or permitted to sell Trust Property that is currency, if at the time the currency can, in the judgment of the Trustee, be converted on a reasonable basis into the required currency that, if applicable, is transferable to the United States, the Trustee shall place orders with dealers (which may include the Depository or the Trustee or any of their affiliates) through which it may reasonably expect to obtain a commercially reasonable rate of exchange (net of commission) and good execution of orders.

If such conversion can be effected only with the approval or license of any government or agency thereof, the Trustee shall file such application for approval or license, if any, as it may deem desirable.

If at any time the Trustee shall determine that in its judgment the currency is not convertible on a reasonable basis into the required currency or that, if applicable, is

24

transferable to the United States, or if any approval or license of any government or agency thereof which is required for such conversion is denied or in the opinion of the Trustee is not obtainable, or if any such approval or license is not obtained within a reasonable period as determined by the Trustee, the Trustee may distribute the currency without conversion (or an appropriate document evidencing the right to receive such currency) to, or in its discretion may hold such currency for the respective accounts of, the persons entitled to receive it. Any interest earned or investment gains attributable to amounts withheld from distribution shall be held by the Trustee for distribution to the Registered Owners entitled to the amount to which the interest or gain is attributable.

If any such conversion of currency, in whole or in part, cannot be effected for distribution to some of the persons entitled to it, the Trustee may, in its discretion, make such conversion and distribution to the extent permissible to the persons entitled to it and may distribute the balance of the currency without conversion to, or in its discretion may hold such currency for the respective accounts of, the persons entitled to receive it. Any interest earned or investment gains attributable to amounts withheld from distribution shall be held by the Trustee for distribution to the Registered Owners entitled to the amount to which the interest or gain is attributable.

The Trustee and the Sponsor shall not be liable or responsible in any way for depreciation or loss incurred by reason of any sale made pursuant to this Section 4.9.

Section 4.10 Counsel .

The Sponsor may from time to time employ counsel to act on behalf of the Trust and perform any legal services in connection with the Euro and the Trust, including any legal matters relating to the possible disposition or acquisition of any Euro. The reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the Sponsor up to an aggregate maximum of $100,000 per year, with any excess amount to be paid by the Trust.

25

Section 4.11 Grantor Trust .

Nothing in this Agreement, any agreement with a Depository, or otherwise, shall be construed to give the Trustee or Sponsor the power to vary the investment of the Beneficial Owners within the meaning of Section 301.7701-4(c) of the regulations under the Code or any similar or successor provision of the regulations under the Code, nor shall the Sponsor give the Trustee any direction that would vary the investment of the Beneficial Owners. However, the Trustee shall not be liable to any Person for any failure of the Trust to qualify as a grantor trust under the Code or any comparable provision of the laws of any State or other jurisdiction where that treatment is sought, except that this sentence shall not limit the Trustee’s responsibility for the administration of the Trust in accordance with this Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor the Sponsor will agree to any amendment of the Deposit Account Agreement unless the Sponsor obtains and delivers to the Trustee a prior written opinion of counsel to the effect that such amendment will have no adverse effect on the classification of the Trust as a “grantor trust” under the Code.

38

Commission or any periodic reports or updates that may be filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any failure to make any filings with or submissions to the Commission which are required to be made in connection with or with respect to the Shares), except that the Sponsor shall not have any obligations under this Section 7.1(a) to pay Indemnified Amounts incurred as a result of and attributable to (x) the negligence or bad faith of, or material breach of the terms of this Agreement by, the Trustee, (y) written information furnished in writing by the Trustee to the Sponsor expressly for use in the registration statement, or any amendment thereto, filed with the Commission relating to the Shares that is not materially altered by the Sponsor or (z) any misrepresentations or omissions made by a Depositor (other than Sponsor) in connection with such Depositor’s offer and sale of Shares.

(b) The Trustee shall indemnify the Sponsor, its members, officers, employees and agents against, and hold each of them harmless from, any Indemnified Amounts (i) caused by the negligence or bad faith of the Trustee or (ii) arising out of any information furnished in writing to the Sponsor by the Trustee expressly for use in the registration statement, or any amendment thereto, filed with the Commission relating to the Shares that is not materially altered by the Sponsor.

(c) If the indemnification provided for in Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.1(b) is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the Indemnified Amounts referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Sponsor on the one hand and the Trustee on the other hand from the fees each receives that are attributable to the Shares which are the subject of the action or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Sponsor on the one hand and the Trustee on the other hand in connection with the action, statement or omission which resulted in such Indemnified Amount as well as any other relevant equitable

39

considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact from which the action arises relates to information supplied by the Sponsor or the Trustee and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission or the act or omission from which the action arises. The amount of Indemnified Amounts referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (c) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (c).

Such indemnity shall include payment from the Trust of the costs and expenses incurred by such Sponsor Indemnified Party in defending itself against any claim or liability in its capacity as Sponsor. Any amounts payable to a Sponsor Indemnified Party under this Section 7.1(d) may be payable in advance or shall be secured by a lien on the Trust.

(e) If an action, proceeding (including, but not limited to, any governmental investigation), claim or dispute (each, a “ Proceeding ”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought by either party is brought or asserted against the other party, the party seeking indemnification (the “ Indemnitee ”) shall promptly (and in no event more than seven (7) days after receipt of notice of such Proceeding) notify the party obligated to provide such indemnification (the “ Indemnitor ”) of such Proceeding. The failure of

40

the Indemnitee to so notify the Indemnitor shall not impair the Indemnitee’s ability to seek indemnification from the Indemnitor (but only for costs, expenses and liabilities incurred after such notice) unless such failure adversely affects the Indemnitor’s ability to adequately oppose or defend such Proceeding. Upon receipt of such notice from the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent that it shall so desire and provided no conflict of interest exists as specified in clause (i) below and there are no other defenses available to Indemnitee as specified in clause (iii) below, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee (in which case all attorney’s fees and expenses shall be borne by the Indemnitor and the Indemnitor shall in good faith defend the Indemnitee). The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but, in such case, no fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnitor unless such fees and expenses are otherwise required to be indemnified under Section 7.1(a), Section 7.1(b) or Section 7.1(d), as applicable, and (i) there is such a conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee as would preclude, in compliance with the ethical rules in effect in the jurisdiction in which the Proceeding was brought, one lawyer from representing both parties simultaneously, (ii) the Indemnitor fails, within the earlier of (x) twenty (20) days following receipt of notice of the Proceeding from the Indemnitee or (y) seven (7) days prior to the date the first response or appearance is required to be made in such Proceeding, to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee or (iii) there are legal defenses available to Indemnitee that are different from or are in addition to those available to the Indemnitor. No compromise or settlement of such Proceeding may be effected by either party without the other party’s consent unless (m) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law and no effect on any other claims that may be made against such other party and (n) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the party seeking the settlement. Neither party shall have any liability with respect to any compromise or settlement effected without its consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

44

date of termination of this Agreement. If any Shares remain outstanding after the date of termination of this Agreement, the Trustee thereafter shall discontinue the registration of transfers of Shares, shall not make any distributions to Registered Owners, and shall not give any further notices or perform any further acts under this Agreement, except that the Trustee shall continue to collect distributions pertaining to Trust Property and hold the same uninvested and without liability for interest, pay the Trust’s expenses and sell Euro as necessary to meet those expenses and shall continue to deliver Trust Property, together with any distributions received with respect thereto and the net proceeds of the sale of any other property, in exchange for Shares Surrendered to the Trustee (after deducting or upon payment of, in each case, the fee of the Trustee set forth in 5.7 for the Surrender of Shares, any expenses for the account of the Registered Owner of such Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and any applicable taxes or other governmental charges). At any time after the expiration of 90 days following the date of termination of this Agreement, the Trustee may sell for Dollars the Trust Property for then held under this Agreement and may thereafter hold uninvested the net proceeds of any such sale, together with any other cash then held by it under this Agreement, unsegregated and without liability for interest, for the pro rata benefit of the Registered Owners of Shares that have not theretofore been Surrendered, such Registered Owners thereupon becoming general creditors of the Trustee with respect to such net proceeds.

Exhibit 4.3

EURO CURRENCY TRUST

PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT

This Participant Agreement (this “ Agreement ”), dated as of March 25, 2010, is entered into by and between Knight Clearing Services, LLC (with respect to this Agreement, the “ Authorized Participant ”, and with respect to the Trust Agreement referred to below, an “ Authorized Participant ”), The Bank of New York, a New York banking corporation, not in its individual capacity but solely as trustee (the “ Trustee ”) of the Euro Currency Trust (the “ Trust ”), and Rydex Specialized Products LLC, d/b/a Rydex Investments, as sponsor (the “ Sponsor ”) of the Trust.

SUMMARY

The Trustee serves as the trustee of the Trust pursuant to the Depositary Trust Agreement dated as of December 5, 2005, among the Sponsor, the Trustee, the registered owners and beneficial owners from time to time of Euro CurrencyShares issued thereunder and all depositors (the “ Trust Agreement ”). As provided in the Trust Agreement and described in the Prospectus (defined below), units of fractional undivided beneficial interests in and ownership of the Trust (the “ Shares ”) may be created or redeemed by the Trustee for an Authorized Participant in aggregations of fifty thousand (50,000) Shares (each aggregation, a “ Basket ”). Baskets are offered only pursuant to the registration statement of the Trust on Form S-1, as amended (Registration No: 333-125581), as declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC ”) and as the same may be amended from time to time thereafter (collectively, the “ Registration Statement ”) together with the prospectus of the Trust in the form first filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424 (the “ Prospectus ”) adopted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ 1933 Act ”). Under the Trust Agreement, the Trustee is authorized to issue Baskets to, and redeem Baskets from, Authorized Participants under the Trust Agreement, only through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) or a successor depository, and only in exchange for an amount of Euro that is transferred between such Authorized Participant and the Trust. Under the Trust Agreement, the Trustee issues Baskets in exchange for Euro which are transferred by an Authorized Participant to the London Branch of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “ Depository ”), and when the Trustee redeems Baskets tendered for redemption by an Authorized Participant in exchange for Euro, the Euro held in the Trust Account are transferred to the Authorized Participant by the Depository. The foregoing Euro transfers are also governed by the Deposit Account Agreement the Trust has entered into with the Depository (the “ Deposit Account Agreement ”). This Agreement sets forth the specific procedures by which an Authorized Participant may create or redeem Baskets.

Because new Shares can be created and issued on an ongoing basis, at any point during the life of the Trust, a “distribution,” as such term is used in the 1933 Act, may be occurring. The Authorized Participant is cautioned that some of its activities may result in its being deemed a participant in a distribution in a manner that would render it a statutory underwriter and subject it to the prospectus-delivery and liability provisions of the 1933 Act. The Authorized Participant should review the “Plan of Distribution” portion of the Prospectus and consult with its own counsel in connection with entering into this Agreement and placing an Order (defined below).

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Trust Agreement. To the extent there is a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and the provisions of the Trust Agreement, the provisions of the Trust Agreement shall control.

To give effect to the foregoing premises and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Order Placement. To place orders for the Trustee to create or redeem one or more Baskets, Authorized Participants must follow the procedures for creation and redemption referred to in Section 3 of this Agreement and the procedures described in Attachment A hereto (the “ Procedures ”), as each may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.

Section 2. Status, Representations and Warranties of the Parties.

(a) The Authorized Participant represents and warrants and covenants the following on the date hereof and at each time of purchase by the Authorized Participant of a Basket from the Trust (each such time, the “Time of Purchase”), that:

(i) The Authorized Participant is a participant of DTC (as such a participant, a “ DTC Participant ”). If the Authorized Participant ceases to be a DTC Participant, the Authorized Participant shall give immediate notice to the Trustee of such event, and this Agreement shall terminate immediately as of the date the Authorized Participant ceased to be a DTC Participant.

(ii) Unless Section 2(a)(iii) applies, the Authorized Participant either (A) is registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“ 1934 Act ”), and is a member in good standing of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“ NASD ”), or (B) is exempt from being, or otherwise is not required to be, licensed as a broker-dealer or a member of the NASD, 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. In connection with the purchase or redemption of Baskets and any related offers or sales of Shares, the Authorized Participant will 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 will comply with all applicable federal laws, the laws of the states or other jurisdictions concerned, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and with the Constitution, By-Laws and Conduct Rules of the NASD (if it is a NASD member), and will not offer or sell Shares in any state or jurisdiction where they may not lawfully be offered and/or sold.

(iii) If the Authorized Participant is offering or 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 the NASD as set forth in Section 2(a)(ii) above, the Authorized Participant will, in connection with such offers and sales, (A) observe the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which such offer and/or sale is made, (B) comply with the prospectus delivery and other requirements of the 1933 Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and (C) conduct its business in accordance with the NASD Conduct Rules.

(iv) The Authorized Participant is in compliance with the money laundering and related provisions of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act of 2001, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, if the Authorized Participant is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act.

(v) The Authorized Participant has the capability to send and receive communications via authenticated telecommunication facility to and from the Trustee. The Authorized Participant shall confirm such capability to the satisfaction of the Trustee by the end of the Business Day before placing its first order with the Trustee (whether such order is to create or to redeem Baskets).

(b) The Sponsor represents and warrants that:

(i) on the effective date of the Registration Statement and at each Time of Purchase, the Trust’s Registration Statement shall be effective and no stop order of the SEC with respect thereto shall have been issued and no proceedings for such purpose shall have been instituted or, to the Sponsor’s knowledge, will then be contemplated by the SEC; the Registration Statement complies in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act, and the Prospectus complied as of its date, and complies at the Time of Purchase, in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act; and the conditions to the use of Form S-1 have been satisfied; the Registration Statement does not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, the Prospectus will not, as of its date and at the Time of Purchase, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and, as of               a.m./p.m. on the date of this Agreement (the “ Time of Sale ”), the documents comprising the Disclosure Package (as defined below) did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Sponsor makes no warranty or representation with respect to any statement contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Disclosure Package in reliance upon and in conformity with information concerning the Authorized Participant and furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Authorized Participant to the Sponsor expressly for use therein. The “ Disclosure Package ” is the Prospectus and any amendments and supplements thereto at the Time of Sale and any free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act (a “ FWP ”) prepared by, for or on behalf of the Sponsor before the Time of Sale and intended for general distribution;

(ii) the Shares, when issued and delivered against payment of consideration therefor, as provided in this Agreement, will be duly and validly authorized, issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free of statutory and contractual preemptive rights, rights of first refusal and similar rights;

(iii) the Sponsor has been duly organized and, on the effective date of the Registration Statement and at each Time of Purchase, will be validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with full power and authority to act as the sponsor of the Trust as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement; and

(iv) at the time the Sponsor makes an offer of Shares following the filing of the Registration Statement, neither the Trust nor the Sponsor will be an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act.

Section 3. Orders.

(a) All orders to create or redeem Baskets shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, the Deposit Account Agreement, this Agreement and the Procedures.

(b) The Authorized Participant acknowledges and agrees that each order to create a Basket (a “ Purchase Order ”) and each order to redeem a Basket (a “ Redemption Order ”, and each Purchase Order and Redemption Order, an “ Order ”) may not be revoked by the Authorized Participant upon its delivery to the Trustee.

(ii) The term “affiliate” in this Section 9 shall include, with respect to any person, entity or organization, any other person, entity or organization which directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such person, entity or organization.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to an indemnified party under Sections 9(a) or 9(b) or insufficient to hold an indemnified party harmless in respect of any losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Sponsor and the Trust, on the one hand, and by the Authorized Participant, on the other hand, from the services provided hereunder or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Sponsor and the Trust, on the one hand, and of the Authorized Participant, on the other hand, in connection with, to the extent applicable, the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Sponsor and the Trust, on the one hand, and the Authorized Participant, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the amount of Euro transferred to the Trust under this Agreement on the one hand (expressed in dollars) bears to the amount of economic benefit received by the Authorized Participant in connection with this Agreement on the other hand. To the extent applicable, the relative fault of the Sponsor on the one hand and of the Authorized Participant on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Sponsor or by the Authorized Participant and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses referred to in this Section 9(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any action, suit or proceeding (each a “ Proceeding ”) related to such losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses.

(e) The Sponsor and the Authorized Participant agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 9(d) above. The Authorized Participant shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares created by the Authorized Participant and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damage which the Authorized Participant has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 9 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Authorized Participant, its partners, stockholders, members, directors, officers, employees and or any person (including each partner, stockholder, member, director, officer or employee of such person) who controls the Authorized Participant within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, or by or on behalf of the Sponsor, its partners, stockholders, members, directors, officers, employees or any person who controls the Sponsor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement. The Sponsor and the Authorized Participant agree promptly to notify each other of the commencement of any Proceeding against it and, in the case of the Sponsor, against any of the Sponsor’s officers or directors, in connection with the issuance and sale of the Shares or in connection with the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

Section 10. Liability.

(a) Limitation of Liability. None of the Sponsor, the Trustee, the Authorized Participant, and the Depository shall be liable to each other or to any other person, including any party claiming by, through or on behalf of the Authorized Participant, for any losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses arising out of any mistake or error in data or other information provided to any of them by each other or any other person or out of any interruption or delay in the electronic means of communications used by them.

(b) Tax Liability. The Authorized Participant shall be responsible for the payment of any transfer tax, sales or use tax, stamp tax, recording tax, value added tax and any other similar tax or government charge applicable to the creation or redemption of any Basket made pursuant to this Agreement, regardless of whether or not such tax or charge is imposed directly on the Authorized Participant. To the extent the Trustee, the Sponsor or the Trust is required by law to pay any such tax or charge, the Authorized Participant agrees to promptly indemnify such party for any such payment, together with any applicable penalties, additions to tax or interest thereon.

Section 11. Acknowledgment. The Authorized Participant acknowledges receipt of a (i) copy of the Trust Agreement and (ii) the current Prospectus of the Trust, and represents that it has reviewed and understands such documents.

Section 12. Effectiveness and Termination. Upon the execution of this Agreement by the parties hereto, this Agreement shall become effective in this form as of the Time of Sale, and may be terminated at any time by any party upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other parties unless earlier terminated: (i) in accordance with Section 2(a)(i); (ii) upon notice to the Authorized Participant by the Trustee in the event of a breach by the Authorized Participant of this Agreement or the procedures described or incorporated herein; (iii) immediately in the circumstances described in Section 18(j); or (iv) at such time as the Trust is terminated pursuant to the Trust Agreement.

Section 13. Marketing Materials; Representations Regarding Shares; Identification in Registration Statement.

(a) The Authorized Participant represents, warrants and covenants that (i), without the written consent of the Sponsor, the Authorized Participant will not (A) make, or permit any of its representatives to make, any representations concerning the Shares or any AP Indemnified Party other than representations contained (1) in the Prospectus of the Trust, as then amended and supplemented, (2) in printed information approved by the Sponsor as information supplemental to such Prospectus or (3) in any promotional materials or sales literature furnished to the Authorized Participant by the Sponsor, or (B) issue any FWP pursuant to Rules 164 and 433 of the 1933 Act and (ii) the Authorized Participant will not furnish or cause to be furnished to any person or display or publish any information or material relating to the Shares, any AP Indemnified Person or the Trust that are not consistent with the Prospectus, as then amended and supplemented. Copies of the Prospectus of the Trust, as then amended and supplemented, and any such printed supplemental information will be supplied by the Sponsor to the Authorized Participant in reasonable quantities upon request.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Authorized Participant may without the written approval of the Sponsor prepare and circulate in the regular course of its business research reports, marketing material and sales literature, but in no event FWPs, that include information, opinions or recommendations relating to the Shares (i) for public dissemination, provided that such research reports, marketing material or sales literature is prepared in accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the 1933 Act, any applicable state securities laws and NASD rules; or (ii) for internal use by the Authorized Participant. The Authorized Participant will file all such research reports, marketing material and sales literature related to the Shares with the NASD to the extent required by the NASD Conduct Rules.

(c) The Authorized Participant and its affiliates may prepare and circulate in the regular course of their businesses, without having to refer to the Shares or the Prospectus, as then amended and supplemented, data and information relating to the price of Euro.

(d) The Authorized Participant hereby agrees that for the term of this Agreement the Sponsor may deliver the Prospectus, and any supplements or amendments thereto or recirculation thereof, to the Authorized Participant in Portable Document Format (“ PDF ”) via electronic mail in lieu of delivering the Prospectus in paper form. The Authorized Participant may revoke the foregoing agreement at any time by delivering written notice to the Sponsor and, whether or not such agreement is in effect, the Authorized Participant may, at any time, request reasonable quantities of the Prospectus, and any supplements or amendments thereto or recirculation thereof, in paper form from the Sponsor. The Authorized Participant acknowledges that it has the capability to access, view, save and print material provided to it in PDF and that it will incur no appreciable extra costs by receiving the Prospectus in PDF instead of in paper form. The Sponsor will, when requested by the Authorized Participant, make available at no cost the software and technical assistance necessary to allow the Authorized Participant to access, view and print the PDF version of the Prospectus.

(e) 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 included within the Registration Statement entitled “Creation and Redemption of Shares” (including identifying the Authorized Participant in such section by a supplement to the Prospectus) and in any other section as may be required by the SEC and (ii) on the Trust’s website. Upon the termination of this Agreement, (i) during the period prior to when the Sponsor qualifies and elects to file on Form S-3, the Sponsor will remove such identification from the Prospectus in the amendment of the Registration Statement next occurring after the date of the termination of this Agreement and, during the period after when the Sponsor qualifies and elects to file on Form S-3, the Sponsor will promptly file a current report on Form 8-K indicating the withdrawal of the Authorized Participant as an authorized participant of the Trust and (ii) the Sponsor will promptly update the Trust’s website to remove any identification of the Authorized Participant as an authorized participant of the Trust.

Section 14. Title To Euro. The Authorized Participant represents and warrants that upon delivery of the Basket Euro Amount (as defined in the Trust Agreement) to the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement and this Agreement, the Trust will acquire good and unencumbered title to the Euro which are the subject of such Basket Euro Amount, free and clear of all pledges, security interests, liens, charges, taxes, assessments, encumbrances, equities, claims, options or limitations of any kind or nature, fixed or contingent, and not subject to any adverse claims, including any restriction upon the sale or transfer of all or any part of such Euro which is imposed by any agreement or arrangement entered into by the Authorized Participant or any party for which it is acting in connection with a Purchase Order.

Section 15. Third Party Beneficiaries. Each AP Indemnified Party, to the extent it is not a party to this Agreement, is a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement (each, a “ Third Party Beneficiary ”) and may proceed directly against the Authorized Participant (including by bringing proceedings against the Authorized Participant in its own name) to enforce any obligation of the Authorized Participant under this Agreement which directly or indirectly benefits such Third Party Beneficiary.

Section 16. Force Majeure. No party to this Agreement shall incur any liability for any delay in performance, or for the non-performance, of any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of any act of God or war or terrorism, acts and regulations and rules of any governmental or supra national bodies or authorities or regulatory or self-regulatory organization or failure of any such body, authority or organization for any reason, to perform its obligations, or any cause beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, any breakdown, malfunction or failure of transmission in connection with or other unavailability of any wire, communication or computer facilities, any transport, port or airport disruption, or any industrial action.

Section 17. Ambiguous Instructions. If a Purchase Order Form or a Redemption Order Form otherwise in good form contains order terms that differ from the information provided in the telephone call at the time of issuance of the applicable order number, the Trustee will attempt to contact one of the Authorized Persons of the Authorized Participant to request confirmation of the terms of the Order. If an Authorized Person confirms the terms as they appear in the Order, then the Order will be accepted and processed. If an Authorized Person contradicts the Order terms, the Order will be deemed invalid, and a corrected Order must be received by the Trustee. If the Trustee is not able to contact an Authorized Person, then the Order shall be accepted and processed in accordance with its terms notwithstanding any inconsistency from the terms of the telephone information. In the event that an Order contains terms that are not complete or are illegible, the Order will be deemed invalid and the Trustee will attempt to contact one of the Authorized Persons of the Authorized Participant to request retransmission of the Order.

Section 18. Miscellaneous.

For the purposes of this Agreement, mail will be deemed received by the recipient thereof on the third (3rd) day following the deposit of such mail into the United States postal system.

thereof only by a written instrument signed by the party granting such waiver, but any such written waiver, or the failure to insist upon strict compliance with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein, shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

The party resulting from any such merger, conversion, consolidation or succession shall notify the other parties hereto of the change. Any purported assignment in violation of the provisions hereof shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall be automatically assigned to any successor Trustee or Sponsor at such time such successor qualifies as a successor Trustee or Sponsor under the terms of the Trust Agreement.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable New York conflict of laws principles) as to all matters, including matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and of any federal court located in the Borough of Manhattan in such State in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any action taken or omitted hereunder, and waives any claim of forum non convenient and any objections as to laying of venue.

agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, provided, however, that the Authorized Participant shall not be deemed by this provision to be a party to the Trust Agreement.

(j) Severance. If any provision of this Agreement is held by any court or any act, regulation, rule or decision of any other governmental or supra national body or authority or regulatory or self-regulatory organization to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, it shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable only to the extent so held and shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement and this Agreement will be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein, unless the Sponsor determines in its discretion, after consulting with the Trustee, that the provision of this Agreement that was held invalid, illegal or unenforceable does affect the validity, legality or enforceability of one or more other provisions of this Agreement, and that this Agreement should not be continued without the provision that was held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, and in that case, upon the Sponsor’s notification of the Trustee of such a determination, this Agreement shall immediately terminate and the Trustee will so notify the Authorized Participant immediately.

(k) No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party.
