that, for every 0.03 ounces of gold, it holds 1.1 ounces of silver, 0.004 ounces of platinum and 0.006 ounces of palladium.
The Shares are intended to constitute a simple and cost-effective means of
making an investment similar to an investment in physical Bullion. An investment
in physical Bullion requires expensive and sometimes complicated arrangements
in connection with the assay, transportation, warehousing and insurance of the
metal. Traditionally, such expense and complications have resulted in
investments in physical Bullion being efficient only in amounts beyond the
reach of many investors. </FONT></P>

monthly fee and out-of-pocket expenses, the Custodian&#146;s fee and reimbursement
of the Custodian&#146;s expenses under the Custody Agreements (defined below),
Exchange listing fees, SEC registration fees, printing and mailing costs, audit
fees and up to $100,000 per annum in legal expenses. The Sponsor also paid the

such direction, may, in its discretion, sell Bullion in such quantity and at
such times as may be necessary to permit payment in cash of Trust expenses not
assumed by the Sponsor. The Trustee is authorized to sell Bullion at such times
and in the smallest amounts required to permit such payments as they become
due, it being the intention to avoid or minimize the Trust&#146;s holdings of assets
other than Bullion. Accordingly, the amount of Bullion to be sold will vary
from time to time depending on the level of the Trust&#146;s expenses and the market
price of gold, silver, platinum and palladium. The Custodian is authorized to
purchase from the Trust, at the request of the Trustee, Bullion needed to cover
Trust expenses not assumed by the Sponsor at the price used by the Trustee to
determine the value of the Bullion held by the Trust on the date of the sale. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>rata Shares of the Trust&#146;s income, if any, and as if they directly
incurred their respective pro rata Shares of the Trust&#146;s expenses. In the case
of a Shareholder that purchases Shares for cash, its initial tax basis in its
pro rata share of the assets held in the Trust at the time it acquires its
Shares is equal to its cost of acquiring the Shares. In the case of a
Shareholder that acquires its Shares as part of a creation, the delivery of
Bullion to the Trust in exchange for the underlying Bullion represented by the
Shares is not a taxable event to the Shareholder, and the Shareholder&#146;s tax
basis and holding period for the Shareholder&#146;s pro rata share of the Bullion
held in the Trust are the same as its tax basis and holding period for the
Bullion delivered in exchange therefore (except to the extent of any cash
contributed for such Shares). For purposes of this discussion, it is assumed
that all of a Shareholder&#146;s Shares are acquired on the same date and at the
same price per Share. Shareholders that hold multiple lots of Shares, or that
are contemplating acquiring multiple lots of Shares, should consult their tax
advisors as to the determination of the tax basis and holding period for the
underlying Bullion related to such Shares.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>When the Trust sells Bullion, for example to pay expenses, a
Shareholder generally will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the
difference between (1) the Shareholder&#146;s pro rata share of the amount realized
by the Trust upon the sale and (2) the Shareholder&#146;s tax basis for its pro rata
share of the Bullion that was sold, which gain or loss will generally be
long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending upon whether the
Shareholder has a holding period in its Shares of longer than one year. A
Shareholder&#146;s tax basis for its share of any Bullion sold by the Trust
generally will be determined by multiplying the Shareholder&#146;s total basis for
its share of all of the Bullion held in the Trust immediately prior to the
sale, by a fraction the numerator of which is the amount of Bullion sold, and
the denominator of which is the total amount of the Bullion held in the Trust
immediately prior to the sale. After any such sale, a Shareholder&#146;s tax basis
for its pro rata share of the Bullion remaining in the Trust will be equal to its
tax basis for its share of the total amount of the Bullion held in the Trust
immediately prior to the sale, less the portion of such basis allocable to its
share of the Bullion that was sold.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Upon a Shareholder&#146;s sale of some or all of its Shares, the Shareholder
will be treated as having sold the portion of its pro rata share of the Bullion
held in the Trust at the time of the sale that is attributable to the Shares
sold. Accordingly, the Shareholder generally will recognize gain or loss on the
sale in an amount equal to the difference between (1) the amount realized
pursuant to the sale of the Shares, and (2) the Shareholder&#146;s tax basis for the
portion of its pro rata share of the Bullion held in the Trust at the time of
sale that is attributable to the Shares sold, as determined in the manner
described in the preceding paragraph.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>A redemption of some or all of a Shareholder&#146;s Shares in exchange for
the underlying Bullion represented by the Shares redeemed generally will not be
a taxable event to the Shareholder. The Shareholder&#146;s tax basis for the Bullion
received in the redemption generally will be the same as the Shareholder&#146;s tax
basis for the portion of its pro rata share of the Bullion held in the Trust
immediately prior to the redemption that is attributable to the Shares
redeemed. The Shareholder&#146;s holding period with respect to the Bullion received
should include the period during which the Shareholder held the Shares
redeemed. A subsequent sale of the Bullion received by the Shareholder will be
a taxable event.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>After any sale or redemption of less than all of a Shareholder&#146;s
Shares, the Shareholder&#146;s tax basis for its pro rata share of the Bullion held
in the Trust immediately after such sale or redemption generally will be equal
to its tax basis for its share of the total amount of the Bullion held in the
Trust immediately prior to the sale or redemption, less the portion of such
basis which is taken into account in determining the amount of gain or loss
recognized by the Shareholder upon such sale or, in the case of a redemption,
which is treated as the basis of the Bullion received by the Shareholder in the
redemption.</FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>In addition, recent legislation effective after
    December 31, 2012, if applicable to a Shareholder, would impose a new 3.8%

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Under current law, gains recognized by individuals from the sale of
&#147;collectibles,&#148; including Bullion, held for more than one year are taxed at a
maximum federal income tax rate of 28%, rather than the 15% rate applicable to
most other long-term capital gains. For these purposes, gain recognized by an
individual upon the sale of an interest in a trust that holds collectibles is
treated as gain recognized on the sale of collectibles, to the extent that the
gain is attributable to unrealized appreciation in value of the collectibles
held by the trust. Therefore, any gain recognized by an individual US

its ownership of Shares) as having held for more than one year, generally will
be taxed at a maximum rate of 28%. The tax rates for capital gains recognized
upon the sale of assets held by an individual US Shareholder for one year or
less or by a taxpayer other than an individual US taxpayer are generally the same
as those at which ordinary income is taxed.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Any brokerage or other transaction fees incurred
    by a Shareholder in purchasing Share is treated as part of the Shareholder&#146;s
    tax basis in the underlying assets of the Trust. Similarly, any brokerage
    fee incurred by a Shareholder in selling Shares reduces the amount realized
    by the Shareholder with respect to the sale.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Shareholders will be required to recognize gain
    or loss upon a sale of Bullion by the Trust (as discussed above), even though
    some or all of the proceeds of such sale are used by the Trustee to pay Trust
    expenses. Shareholders may deduct their respective pro rata share of each
    expense incurred by the Trust to the same extent as if they directly incurred
    the expense. Shareholders who are individuals, estates or trusts, however,
    may be required to treat some or all of the expenses of the Trust, to the
    extent that such expenses may be deducted, as miscellaneous itemized deductions.
    Individuals may deduct certain miscellaneous itemized deductions only to
    the extent they exceed 2% of adjusted gross income. In addition, such deductions
    may be subject to further limitations under applicable provisions of the
    Code, and may not be deductible at all for alternative minimum tax purposes.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Mutual funds and other investment vehicles which are &#147;regulated
investment companies&#148; within the meaning of Code section 851 should consult
with their tax advisors concerning (1) the likelihood that an investment in
Shares, although they are a &#147;security&#148; within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, may be considered an investment in the underlying Bullion

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
    1974, as amended (&ldquo;ERISA&rdquo;), and/or Code Section 4975 impose certain
    requirements on certain employee benefit plans and other plans and arrangements,
    including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans, and
    certain commingled investment vehicles or insurance company general or separate
    accounts in which such plans or arrangements are invested (collectively, &ldquo;Plans&rdquo;),
    and on persons who are fiduciaries with respect to the investment of &ldquo;plan
    assets&rdquo; of a Plan. Government plans and some church plans are not subject
    to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or the provisions of
    Section 4975 of the Code, but may be subject to substantially similar rules
under other federal law, or under state or local law (&ldquo;Other Law&rdquo;).</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>In contemplating an investment of a portion of
    Plan assets in Shares, the Plan fiduciary responsible for making such investment
    should carefully consider, taking into account the facts and circumstances
    of the Plan and the &ldquo;Risk Factors&rdquo; discussed above and whether
    such investment is consistent with its fiduciary responsibilities under ERISA
    or Other Law, including, but not limited to: (1) whether the investment is
    permitted under the plan&rsquo;s governing documents, (2) whether the fiduciary
    has the authority to make the investment, (3) whether the investment is consistent
    with the plan&rsquo;s funding objectives, (4) the tax effects of the investment
    on the Plan, and (5) whether the investment is prudent considering the factors
    discussed in this report. In addition, ERISA and Code Section
    4975 prohibit a broad range of transactions involving assets of a plan and
    persons who are &ldquo;parties in interest&rdquo; under ERISA or &ldquo;disqualified
    persons&rdquo; under Section 4975 of the Code. A violation
    of these rules may result in the imposition of significant excise taxes and
    other liabilities. Plans subject to Other Law may be subject to similar restrictions.</FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>It is anticipated that the Shares will constitute
  &ldquo;publicly-held offered securities&rdquo; as defined in the Department
  of Labor &ldquo;Plan Asset Regulations,&rdquo; &sect;2510.3-101(b)(2). Accordingly,
  pursuant to the Plan Asset Regulations, Shares purchased by a Plan, and not
  an interest in the underlying assets held in the Trust, should be treated as &ldquo;plan
  assets&rdquo; of the Plan, for purposes of applying the &ldquo;fiduciary responsibility&rdquo;
  and &ldquo;prohibited transaction&rdquo; rules of ERISA and the Code. Fiduciaries
  of plans subject to Other Law should consult legal counsel to determine whether

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Code section 408(m) provides that the acquisition of a &#147;collectible&#148; by
an individual retirement account (IRA) or a participant-directed account
maintained under any plan that is tax-qualified under Code section 401(a) is
treated as a taxable distribution from the account to the owner of the IRA, or
to the participant for whom the plan account is maintained, of an amount equal
to the cost to the account of acquiring the collectible. The IRS has issued
private letter rulings to the effect that a purchase of Shares in a trust
holding precious metals by an IRA, or by a participant-directed account under a
Code section 401(a) plan, will not be treated as resulting in a taxable
distribution to the IRA owner or plan participant under Code section 408(m).
However, if any of the Shares so purchased are distributed from the IRA or plan
account to the IRA owner or plan participant, or if any Bullion received by
such IRA or plan account upon the redemption of any of the Shares purchased by
it, the Shares or Bullion so distributed will be subject to federal income tax
in the year of distribution, to the extent provided under the applicable
provisions of Code sections 408(d), 408(m) or 402.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Global supply and demand for gold is influenced by such factors as
forward selling by gold producers, purchases made by gold producers to unwind
gold hedge positions, central bank purchases and sales, and production and cost levels in major gold-producing countries such as South Africa, the
United States and Australia. Global supply and demand for silver is influenced
by general changes in economic conditions, such as a recession or other
economic downturn, because of the wide use of silver in a range of industrial
applications. Global platinum supply and demand is influenced by such factors
as forward selling by platinum producers, purchases made by platinum producers
to unwind platinum hedge positions, and production and cost levels in major
platinum-producing countries, such as South Africa, which accounted for 64% of
the world&#146;s platinum supply in 2008. Global palladium supply and demand, which
is influenced by such factors as forward selling by palladium producers,
purchases made by palladium producers to unwind palladium hedge positions, and
production and cost levels in major palladium-producing countries such as South
Africa, the United States and Australia.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Shares may trade at, above or below the NAV per Share. The NAV per
Share fluctuates with changes in the market value of the Trust&#146;s assets. The

per Share as well as market supply and demand. The amount of the discount or
premium in the trading price relative to the NAV per Share may be influenced by
non-concurrent trading hours between the NYSE Arca and the major Bullion
markets. While the Shares trade on the NYSE Arca until 4:00 PM New York time,
liquidity in the market for gold, platinum and palladium is reduced after the
close of the major world markets for gold, platinum and palladium,, including
London, Zurich and the COMEX and liquidity in the market for silver will be

that large redemption requests by Authorized Participants dramatically affect
Share liquidity), investors with short exposure may have to pay a premium to
repurchase Shares for delivery to Share lenders. Those repurchases may in turn,
dramatically increase the price of the Shares until additional Shares are
created through the creation process. This is often referred to as a &#147;short

Sponsor is unable to ascertain whether the platinum and palladium price movements
during this period were attributable to the basket creation and redemption
processes of the ETFS Platinum Trust and ETFS Palladium Trust, respectively, or
independent metal market forces or both. Nevertheless, the Trust and the
Sponsor cannot assure you that future Basket creations or redemptions will have
a similar effect or will have no effect on the platinum and palladium metal
prices and, consequently, Share trading prices.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>Since there is no limit on the amount of platinum and palladium that

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust Agreement places no limit on the amount
    of platinum and palladium the Trust may hold. Moreover, the Trust may issue
    an unlimited number of Shares, subject to registration requirements, and

    market for platinum and palladium is characterized by supply and demand constraints
    that are generally not present in the markets for other precious metals such
    as gold and silver. From 1999 to 2010, world platinum supply averaged 6.76
    million ounces and world palladium supply averaged 8.12 million ounces. In
    2010, supply measured 7.07 million ounces of platinum and 8.43 million ounces
    of palladium. If the amount of platinum and palladium acquired by the Trust
    is large enough in relation to global platinum and palladium supply and demand,
    further in-kind creations and redemptions of Shares could have an impact
    on the supply and demand of platinum and palladium unrelated to other factors
    affecting the global markets for platinum and palladium. Such an impact could
    affect the prices for platinum and palladium that would directly affect the
    price at which Shares are traded on the Exchange or the price of future Baskets
created or redeemed by the Trust.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The liability of the Custodian is limited under the Custody Agreements.
Under the Custody Agreements between the Trustee and the Custodian which

Agreement) and the Trust&#146;s allocated Bullion account (Allocated Account
Agreement), the Custodian is only liable for losses that are the direct result
of its own negligence, fraud or willful default in the performance of its
duties. Any such liability is further limited, in the case of the Allocated
Account Agreement, to the market value of the Bullion held in the Trust
Allocated Account at the time such negligence, fraud or willful default is
discovered by the Custodian and, in the case of the Unallocated Account
Agreement, to the amount of Bullion credited to the Trust Unallocated Account
at the time such negligence, fraud or willful default is discovered by the
Custodian. Under each Authorized Participant Unallocated Bullion Account
Agreement (between the Custodian or other Bullion clearing bank and an
Authorized Participant establishing an Authorized Participant Unallocated
Account), the Custodian is not contractually or otherwise liable for any losses
suffered by any Authorized Participant or Shareholder that are not the direct
result of its own gross negligence, fraud or willful default in the performance
of its duties under such agreement, and in no event will its liability exceed
the market value of the balance in the Authorized Participant Unallocated
Account at the time such gross negligence, fraud or willful default is
discovered by the Custodian. In addition, the Custodian will not be liable for
any delay in performance or any non-performance of any of its obligations under
the Allocated Account Agreement, the Unallocated Account Agreement or the
Authorized Participant Unallocated Bullion Account Agreement by reason of any
cause beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war or terrorism.
As a result, the recourse of the Trustee or the investor, under English law, is
limited. Furthermore, under English common law, the Custodian, the Zurich

The Custodian has selected the Zurich Sub-Custodians, and the Zurich

Custodian. Otherwise, the Custodian is not liable for the acts or omissions of
its subcustodians. These subcustodians may in turn appoint further
subcustodians, but the Custodian is not responsible for the appointment of
these further subcustodians. The Custodian does not undertake to monitor the

assumed by the Sponsor on an as-needed basis irrespective of then-current gold,
silver, platinum and palladium prices. The Trust is not actively managed and no
attempt will be made to buy or sell Bullion to protect against or to take
advantage of fluctuations in the price of any Bullion metal. Consequently, the

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>Introduction. </I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The ETFS Precious Metals Basket Trust (the &ldquo;Trust&rdquo;)
    is a trust formed under the laws of the State of New York. The Trust does
    not have any officers, directors, or employees, and is administered by The
    Bank of New York Mellon (the &ldquo;Trustee&rdquo;) acting as trustee pursuant
    to the Depositary Trust Agreement (the &ldquo;Trust Agreement&rdquo;) between
    the Trustee and ETF Securities USA LLC, the sponsor of the Trust (the &ldquo;Sponsor&rdquo;).
    The Trust issues shares (&ldquo;Shares&rdquo;) representing fractional undivided
    beneficial interests in its net assets. The assets of the Trust consist of
    gold, silver, platinum and palladium bullion (&ldquo;Bullion&rdquo;) held
by a custodian as an agent of the Trust and responsible only to the Trustee.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust is a passive investment vehicle and the
    objective of the Trust is merely for the value of each Share to approximately
    reflect, at any given time, the price of the Bullion owned by the Trust,
    less the Trust&rsquo;s liabilities (anticipated to be principally for accrued
    operating expenses), divided by the number of outstanding Shares. The Trust
    does not engage in any activities designed to obtain a profit from, or ameliorate
    losses caused by, changes in the price of Bullion.</FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=CENTER><FONT SIZE=2>21</FONT></P>

<HR NOSHADE ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="100%" SIZE=4><P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE='PAGE-BREAK-BEFORE: ALWAYS'></P><PAGE>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust issues and redeems Shares only in exchange
    for Bullion, only in aggregations of 50,000 or integral multiples thereof
    (each, a &ldquo;Basket&rdquo;), and only in transactions with registered
    broker-dealers that have previously entered into an agreement with the Trust
    governing the terms and conditions of such issuance (such dealers, the &ldquo;Authorized
    Participants&rdquo;). A list of current Authorized Participants is available
from the Sponsor or the Trustee.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Shares of the Trust trade on the NYSE Arca under
    the symbol &ldquo;GLTR.&rdquo;</FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Investing in the Shares does not insulate the investor
    from certain risks, including price volatility. The following table illustrates
    the movement in the price of the Shares and NAV of the Shares against
the price per ounce of gold, silver, platinum and palladium in the proportions
held by the Trust (the &#147;Proportionate Price&#148;) since inception. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=center><FONT SIZE=2><img src="c64627001_v1.jpg" ALT="(LINE GRAPH)"></font></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The divergence of the price of Shares and NAV of the
Shares from the Proportionate Price over time reflects the cumulative effect of the
Trust expenses that arise if an investment had been held since inception.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>Critical Accounting Estimates </I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America. The preparation of these financial statements relies on estimates
and assumption that impact the Trust&#146;s financial position and results of
operations. These estimates and assumptions affect the Trust&#146;s application of
accounting policies. Below we describe the valuation of Bullion, a critical
accounting policy that we believe is important to the understanding of our
results of operations and financial position. In addition, please refer to Note
2 to the Financial Statements for further discussion of our accounting
policies. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>Valuation of Bullion </I></FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Bullion is valued, for financial statement purposes,
    at the lower of cost or market. The cost of Bullion is determined according
    to the average cost method and the market value is based on the London Fix
    for each metal held by the Trust used to determine the NAV of
    the Trust. Realized gains and losses on transfers of Bullion to pay the Sponsor&#146;s
    Fee, or Bullion distributed for the redemption of Shares, are calculated
    on a trade date basis using average cost. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Once the value of Bullion has been determined, the NAV is computed by
the Trustee by deducting all accrued fees and other liabilities of the Trust,
including the remuneration due to the Sponsor (the &#147;Sponsor&#146;s Fee&#148;), from the
fair value of the Bullion and all other assets held by the Trust. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>The table
below summarizes the unrealized gains or losses on the Trust&#146;s Bullion holdings
as of December 31, 2010: </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust is not aware of any trends, demands, conditions, events or
uncertainties that are reasonably likely to result in material changes to its
liquidity needs. In exchange for the Sponsor&#146;s Fee, the Sponsor has agreed to
assume most of the expenses incurred by the Trust. As a result, the only expense
of the Trust during the period covered by this report was the Sponsor&#146;s Fee.
The Trust&#146;s only source of liquidity is its transfers and sales of Bullion. </FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Trustee will, at the direction of the Sponsor
    or in its own discretion, sell the Trust&rsquo;s Bullion (only in the specified
    proportion of gold, silver, platinum and palladium held by the Trust) as
    necessary to pay the Trust&rsquo;s expenses not otherwise assumed by the
    Sponsor. The Trustee will not sell Bullion to pay the Sponsor&rsquo;s Fee
    but will pay the Sponsor&rsquo;s Fee through in-kind transfers of Bullion
to the Sponsor. At December 31, 2010, the Trust did not have any cash balances.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The net asset value (&#147;NAV&#148;) of the Trust is obtained by subtracting the
Trust&#146;s expenses and liabilities on any day from the value of the Bullion owned
by the Trust on that day; the NAV per Share is obtained by dividing NAV of the
Trust on a given day by the number of Shares outstanding on that day. </FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2><I>Period ended December 31, 2010 </I></FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust was formed as a legal entity on October
    18, 2010 with an initial deposit of Bullion. The NAV at October 18, 2010
    was $7,767,550. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust&#146;s Shares commenced trading on the NYSE Arca under the symbol
GLTR on October 22, 2010. The Trust began accruing expenses and calculating NAV
from this date. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The increase in NAV from $7,767,550 to $7,689,900 from October 18, 2010
to October 22, 2010 was due to increases in the price per ounce of gold,
silver, platinum and palladium in the proportions held by the Trust (the
&#147;Proportionate Price&#148;). </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust&#146;s NAV grew from $7,689,900 at October
    22, 2010 to $166,379,066 at December 31, 2010, a 2,063.61% increase for the
    period. The increase in the Trust&#146;s NAV relates to increases in the
    Proportionate Price, which rose 16.51%, and an increase in outstanding
    Shares, which rose from 100,000 Shares at October 18, 2010 to 1,900,000 Shares
    at December 31, 2010, a consequence of 1,800,000 Shares (36 Baskets) being
    created and no Shares being redeemed during the period. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The 16.39% increase in the Trust&#146;s NAV per Share from $75.24 at October
22, 2010 to $87.57 at December 31, 2010 directly relates to the Proportionate
Price, which rose 16.51%. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust&#146;s NAV per Share rose slightly less
    than the Proportionate Price on a percentage basis due to the Sponsor&#146;s
    Fee, which was $127,667 for the period, or 0.60% of the Trust&#146;s assets
    on an annualized basis. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The NAV per Share of $87.64 on December 30, 2010 was the highest during
the period compared with a low of $75.24 on October 22, 2010. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Net loss for the period ended December 31, 2010 was $127,472 resulting
from a net gain of $195 on the transfer of Bullion to pay the Sponsor&#146;s Fee
offset by the Sponsor&#146;s Fee of $127,667. Other than the Sponsor&#146;s Fee, the
Trust had no expenses during the period ended December 31, 2010. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>To the Sponsor, Trustee and the Shareholders of the ETFS Precious
Metals Basket Trust:</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>We have audited the accompanying statement of financial
    condition of ETFS Precious Metals Basket Trust (the&nbsp;&#148;Trust&#148;)
    as of December 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations, changes
    in shareholders&#146; deficit, and
cash flows for the period October 18, 2010 (date of inception) to December 31,
2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust&#146;s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards
    of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
    require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
    about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
    The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit
    of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration
    of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
    procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose
    of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust&#146;s internal
    control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
    An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
    amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
    principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
    evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
    our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>In our opinion, such financial statements present
    fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ETFS Precious
    Metals Basket Trust at December 31, 2010, and the results of its operations
    and its cash flows for the period October 18, 2010 (date of inception)
    to December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.</FONT></P>

     is an investment trust formed on October 18, 2010, under New York law pursuant
     to a depositary trust agreement (the &#147;Trust Agreement&#148;) executed
     by ETF Securities USA LLC (the &#147;Sponsor&#148;) and the Bank of New
     York Mellon (the &#147;Trustee&#148;) at the time
 of the Trust&#146;s organization. The Trust holds gold, silver, platinum and
 palladium in set ratios (together, &#147;Bullion&#148;) and issues Shares (&#147;Shares&#148;)
  (in minimum blocks of 50,000 Shares, referred to as &#147;Baskets&#148;) in
  exchange for deposits of Bullion and distributes Bullion in connection with
  the redemption of Baskets. Shares represent units of fractional undivided beneficial
 interest in and ownership of the Trust which are issued by the Trust. The
 Sponsor is a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary
 of ETF Securities Limited, a Jersey, Channel Islands&#146; based company. The
 Trust is governed by the Trust Agreement.</FONT></P>

 <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Bullion is held by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the &#147;Custodian&#148;),
     on behalf of the Trust, at its London, England vaulting premises on a segregated
 basis. The allocated Platinum and Palladium is held by UBS AG (the &#147;Zurich
 Sub-Custodian&#148;) at its Zurich, Switzerland vaulting Premises on a segregated
 basis. The Trust&#146;s Bullion is valued, per individual metal type, for financial
 statement purposes, at the lower of cost or market. The cost of Bullion is determined
 according to the average cost method and the market value is based on the London
  Fix for each metal held by the Trust used to determine the NAV
 of the Trust. Realized gains and losses on sales of Bullion, or Bullion distributed
 for the redemption of Shares, are calculated on a trade date basis using average
 cost. </FONT></P>

 <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust expects to create and redeem Shares
     from time to time, but only in one or more Baskets (a Basket equals a block
     of 50,000 Shares). The Trust issues Shares in Baskets to Authorized Participants
     on an ongoing basis. Individual investors cannot purchase or redeem Shares
     in direct transactions with the Trust. An Authorized Participant is a person
     who (1) is registered as a broker-dealer or other securities market participant
     such as a bank or other financial institution which is not required to register
     as a broker-dealer to engage in securities transactions, (2) is a participant
     in The Depositary Trust Company, (3) has entered into an Authorized Participant
 Agreement with the Trustee, and (4) has established an Authorized Participant
 Unallocated Account with the Trust&#146;s Custodian. An Authorized Participant
 Agreement is an agreement entered into by each Authorized Participant, the
 Sponsor and the Trustee which provides the procedures for the creation and
 redemption of Baskets and for the delivery of the Bullion required for such
 creations and redemptions. An Authorized Participant Unallocated Account is
 an unallocated Bullion account, either loco London or loco Zurich,
 established with the Custodian or a Bullion clearing bank by an Authorized
 Participant.</FONT></P> </TD>

 <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The primary expense of the Trust is the Sponsor&#146;s Fee, which is paid
 by the Trust through in-kind transfers of Bullion to the Sponsor. With
 respect to expenses not otherwise assumed by the Sponsor, the Trustee will,
 at the direction of the Sponsor or in its own discretion, sell the Trust&#146;s
 Bullion as necessary to pay these expenses. When selling Bullion to pay
 expenses, the Trustee will endeavor to sell the smallest amounts of Bullion
 needed to pay these expenses in order to minimize the Trust&#146;s holdings of

     by the London  Fix for each metal held by the Trust. The Trustee will
     place orders with dealers (which may include the Custodian) through which
     the Trustee expects to receive the most favorable price and execution of
     orders. The Custodian may be the purchaser of such Bullion only if the sale
     transaction is made at the London  Fix for each metal held by the Trust
     used by the Trustee to value the Trust&#146;s Bullion. A gain or
     loss is recognized based on the difference between the selling price and

     is liable for depreciation or loss incurred by reason of any sale.</FONT></P>

 Accounting Standards Codification (&#147;ASC&#148;) 740-10, <I>Income Taxes</I> (formerly FASB Interpretation Number 48, <I>Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes</I>).
 The Sponsor has evaluated the application of ASC 740 to the Trust, to determine
 whether or not there are uncertain tax positions that require financial
 statement recognition. Based on this evaluation, the Trust has determined no
 reserves for uncertain tax positions are required to be recorded as a result
 of the application of ASC 740. As a result, no income tax liability or
 expense has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. </FONT></P>

 <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>The Trust&#146;s sole business activity is the investment in Bullion, and
 substantially all the Trust&#146;s assets are holdings of Bullion which creates a
 concentration risk associated with fluctuations in the price of Bullion.
 Several factors could affect the price of Bullion, including: (i) global
 Bullion supply and demand, which is influenced by factors such as forward
 selling by Bullion producers, purchases made by Bullion producers to unwind
 Bullion hedge positions, central bank purchases and sales, and production and
 cost levels in major Bullion-producing countries; (ii) investors&#146;
 expectations with respect to the rate of inflation; (iii) currency exchange
 rates; (iv) interest rates; (v) investment and trading activities of hedge
 funds and commodity funds; and (vi) global or regional political, economic or
 financial events and situations. In addition, there is no assurance that
 Bullion will maintain its long-term value in terms of purchasing power in the
 future. In the event that the price of Bullion declines, the Sponsor expects
 the value of an investment in the Shares to decline proportionately. Each of
 these events could have a material effect on the Trust&#146;s financial position
 and results of operations.</FONT></P>

in the communication sent in compliance with Section 3.01c. above, to the

Order (which shall be an appropriate bullion account with an LBMA member

to Gold from the ETFS Gold Trust and ETFS Asian Gold Trust and where the
Authorized Participant elects loco London delivery, the Authorized Participant
must first agree to the cost of the loco swap with the Custodian and reimburse
the Custodian for any amount owed under such swap. Having made such Delivery,

then cancel the Shares so redeemed. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e. In all other cases, Delivery must be completed

neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall be liable for any failure or delay
in making Delivery of Bullion in respect of a Redemption Order arising from
nuclear fission or fusion, radioactivity, war, terrorist event, invasion,
insurrection, civil commotion, riot, strike, act of government, public
authority, public service or utility problems, power outages resulting in
telephone, telecopy and computer failures, act of God such as fires, floods,
extreme weather conditions, market conditions or activities causing trading
halts, systems failures involving computer or other information systems
affecting a Trust, the Trustee, the Custodian or sub-custodian, metal clearing
bank delays and similar extraordinary events beyond the Trustee&#146;s control. In
the event of any such delay, the time to complete Delivery in respect of a
Redemption Order will be extended for a period equal to that during which the inability
to perform continues. </FONT></P>

time) on the second Business Day following the Order Date of a Redemption
Order, Trustee&#146;s account at DTC shall not have been credited with the total
number of Shares corresponding to the total number of Baskets to be redeemed
pursuant to such Redemption Order, the Trustee shall send to the Authorized
Participant and the Custodian via fax or electronic mail message notice of such
fact and the Authorized Participant shall have two (2) Business Days following
receipt of such notice to correct such failure. If such failure is not cured
within such two (2) Business Day period, the Trustee (in consultation with the
Sponsor) will cancel such Redemption Order and will send via fax or electronic
mail message notice of such cancellation to the Authorized Participant and the
Custodian, and the Authorized Participant will be solely responsible for all
costs incurred by the Trust, the Trustee or the Custodian related to the
cancelled Order. The Trustee is authorized to Deliver the Basket Amount for a
Redemption Order notwithstanding that the Basket(s) to be redeemed are not
credited to the Trustee&#146;s DTC account by 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on the third
Business Day following the Order Date of a Redemption Order if the Authorized
Participant has collateralized its obligation to deliver the Baskets through
DTC&#146;s book entry system on such terms as the Sponsor and the Trustee may from

PROCEDURES</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=CENTER><FONT SIZE=2>ORDER ENTRY SYSTEM TERMS AND CONDITIONS</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Annex
II shall govern use by Authorized Participant of the electronic order entry
system for placing Purchase Orders and Redemption Orders for Shares (the &#147;<B>System</B>&#148;). Capitalized terms used but not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in
Schedule 1 of the Authorized Participant Agreement. In the event of any
conflict between the terms of this Annex II and the main body of the Authorized
Participant Agreement with respect to the placing of Purchase Orders and
Redemption Orders, the terms of this Annex II shall control. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>1. (a) Authorized
Participant shall provide to The Bank of New York Mellon a duly executed
authorization letter, in a form satisfactory to The Bank of New York Mellon,
identifying those authorized persons who will access the System (the &#147;<B>Authorized Persons</B>&#148;). Authorized
Participant shall notify The Bank of New York Mellon in writing in the event
that any person&#146;s status as an Authorized Person is revoked or terminated as
soon as possible, in order to give The Bank of New York Mellon a reasonable
opportunity to terminate such Authorized Person&#146;s access to the System. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) It is
understood and agreed that each Authorized Person shall be designated as an
authorized user of Authorized Participant for the purpose of the Authorized
Participant Agreement. Upon termination of the Authorized Participant
Agreement, the Authorized Participant&#146;s and each Authorized Person&#146;s access
rights with respect to System shall be immediately revoked. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>2. The Bank of New York Mellon grants to Authorized Participant a
personal, nontransferable and nonexclusive license to use the System solely for
the purpose of transmitting Purchase Orders and Redemption Orders and otherwise
communicating with The Bank of New York Mellon in connection with the same.
Authorized Participant shall use the System solely for its own internal and
proper business purposes. Except as set forth herein, no license or right of
any kind is granted to Authorized Participant with respect to the System.
Authorized Participant acknowledges that The Bank of New York Mellon and its
suppliers retain and have title and exclusive proprietary rights to the System.
Authorized Participant further acknowledges that all or a part of the System
may be copyrighted or trademarked (or a registration or claim made therefor) by
The Bank of New York Mellon or its suppliers. Authorized Participant shall not
take any action with respect to the System inconsistent with the foregoing
acknowledgments. Authorized Participant may not copy, distribute, sell, lease
or provide, directly or indirectly, the System or any portion thereof to any
other person or entity without The Bank of New York Mellon&#146;s prior written
consent. Authorized Participant may not remove any statutory copyright notice
or other notice included in the System. Authorized Participant shall reproduce
any such notice on any reproduction of any portion of the System and shall add
any statutory copyright notice or other notice upon The Bank of New York
Mellon&#146;s request. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>2. (a) Authorized Participant acknowledges that any user manuals or
other documentation (whether in hard copy or electronic form) (collectively,
the &#147;<B>Material</B>&#148;), which is
delivered or made available to Authorized Participant regarding the System is
the exclusive and confidential property of The Bank of New York Mellon.
Authorized Participant shall keep the Material confidential by using the same
care and discretion that Authorized Participant uses with respect to its own
confidential property and trade secrets, but in no event less than reasonable
care. Authorized Participant may make such copies of the Material as is
reasonably necessary for Authorized Participant to use the System and shall
reproduce The Bank of New York Mellon&#146;s proprietary markings on any such copy.
The foregoing shall not in any way be deemed to affect the copyright status of
any of the Material which may be copyrighted and shall apply to all Material
whether or not copyrighted. THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON AND ITS SUPPLIERS MAKE
NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, CONCERNING THE MATERIAL OR ANY PRODUCT OR
SERVICE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. </FONT></P>

<HR NOSHADE ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="100%" SIZE=4><P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE='PAGE-BREAK-BEFORE: ALWAYS'></P><PAGE>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>(b) Upon termination of the Authorized Participant Agreement for any
reason, Authorized Participant shall return to The Bank of New York Mellon all
copies of the Material which is in Authorized Participant&#146;s possession or under
its control. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>3. Authorized Participant agrees that it shall have sole responsibility
for maintaining adequate security and control of the user IDs, passwords and
codes for access to the System, which shall not be disclosed to any third party
without the prior written consent of The Bank of New York Mellon. The Bank of
New York Mellon shall be entitled to rely on the information received by it
from the Authorized Participant and The Bank of New York Mellon may assume that
all such information was transmitted by or on behalf of an Authorized Person
regardless of by whom it was actually transmitted. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>4. The Bank of New York Mellon shall have no liability in connection
with the use of the System, the access granted to the Authorized Participant
and its Authorized Persons hereunder, or any transaction effected or attempted
to be effected by the Authorized Participant hereunder, except for damages
incurred by the Authorized Participant as a direct result of The Bank of New
York Mellon&#146;s gross negligence or willful misconduct. WITHOUT LIMITING THE
GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, IT IS HEREBY AGREED THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL THE
BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON OR ANY MANUFACTURER OR SUPPLIER OF EQUIPMENT, SOFTWARE
OR SERVICES BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH THE AUTHORIZED PARTICIPANT MAY INCUR OR EXPERIENCE
BY REASON OF ITS HAVING ENTERED INTO OR RELIED ON THIS AGREEMENT, OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THE ACCESS GRANTED TO AUTHORIZED PARTICIPANT HEREUNDER, OR ANY
TRANSACTION EFFECTED OR ATTEMPTED TO BE EFFECTED BY AUTHORIZED PARTICIPANT
HEREUNDER, EVEN IF THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON OR SUCH MANUFACTURER OR SUPPLIER
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, NOR SHALL THE BANK OF NEW
YORK MELLON OR ANY SUCH MANUFACTURER OR SUPPLIER BE LIABLE FOR ACTS OF GOD,
MACHINE OR COMPUTER BREAKDOWN OR MALFUNCTION, INTERRUPTION OR MALFUNCTION OF
COMMUNICATION FACILITIES, LABOR DIFFICULTIES OR ANY OTHER SIMILAR OR DISSIMILAR
CAUSE BEYOND SUCH PERSON&#146;S REASONABLE CONTROL. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>5. The Bank of New York Mellon reserves the right to revoke Authorized
Participant&#146;s access to the System immediately and without notice upon any
breach by the Authorized Participant of the terms and conditions of this Annex
II. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>6. The Bank of New York Mellon shall acknowledge through the System its
receipt of each Purchase Order or Redemption Order communicated through the
System, and in the absence of such acknowledgment The Bank of New York Mellon
shall not be liable for any failure to act in accordance with such orders and
Authorized Participant may not claim that such Purchase Order or Redemption
Order was received by The Bank of New York Mellon. The Bank of New York Mellon
may in its discretion decline to act upon any instructions or communications
that are insufficient or incomplete or are not received by The Bank of New York
Mellon in sufficient time for The Bank of New York Mellon to act upon, or in
accordance with such instructions or communications. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.
Authorized Participant agrees to use reasonable efforts to prevent the
transmission through the System of any software or file which contains any
viruses, worms, harmful component or corrupted data and agrees not to use any
device, software, or routine to interfere or attempt to interfere with the
proper working of the Systems. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
1.01. <U>Authorization to Purchase and Redeem Baskets</U>. Subject to the
provisions of the Authorized Participant Agreement, during the term of the
Authorized Participant Agreement the Authorized Participant will be authorized
to purchase and redeem Baskets of Shares in compliance with the provisions of
the relevant Prospectus. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
1.02. <U>Procedures for Orders</U>. Each party hereto agrees to comply with the
provisions of the relevant Prospectus and the Procedures to the extent
applicable to it. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
1.03. <U>Consent to Recording</U>. The phone lines used by the Trustee, the
Custodian, the Sponsor and/or their affiliated persons may be recorded, and the
Authorized Participant hereby consents to the recording of all calls with any
of those parties. In the event that the Trustee, the Custodian, the Sponsor or
any of their affiliated persons becomes legally compelled to disclose to any
third party any recording involving communications with the Authorized
Participant, the Sponsor agrees to provide the Authorized Participant with
reasonable advance written notice identifying the recordings to be so disclosed
unless prohibited by applicable rule, law or order, together with copies of
such recordings, so that the Authorized Participant may seek a protective order
or other appropriate remedy with respect to the recordings or waive its right
to do so. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not
obtained or the Authorized Participant waives its right to seek such protective
order or remedy, the Sponsor will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the recorded
conversation. The Trustee, the Sponsor or any of their affiliated persons shall
not otherwise disclose to any third party any recording involving
communications with the Authorized Participant without the Authorized Participant&#146;s
express written consent, except the Trustee and the Sponsor may disclose to any
regulatory or self-regulatory organization, to the extent required by
applicable rule or law, any recording involving communications with the
Authorized Participant. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
1.04. <U>Irrevocability</U>. The Authorized Participant agrees that delivery to
the Trustee of an Order shall be irrevocable; provided that the Trust will
reject any Order that is not properly completed. In the event that the purchase
or redemption of Baskets is suspended by the Trustee or the Sponsor and such
suspension affects any Order submitted by the Authorized Participant, the
Trustee or Sponsor, as applicable, will promptly notify the Authorized
Participant of such suspension. In such case, the Sponsor agrees to undertake
commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate any request by the Authorized
Participant to cancel a previously placed Order. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
1.05. <U>Costs and Expenses</U>. The Authorized Participant shall be responsible

attributable to Orders submitted by the Authorized Participant other than
ordinary course expenses and costs which are reimbursed</FONT></P>

with reasonably detailed information relating to such expenses and costs upon

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
1.06. <U>Delivery of Property to the Trust and Shares Surrendered for
Redemption</U>. The Authorized Participant understands and agrees that in the
event Deposit Property is not transferred to the Trust by the time specified
for the Purchase Order, or Shares are not delivered to the Trustee by the time
specified for the Redemption Order and, in each such case, in compliance with
the Procedures and the relevant Prospectus, the Purchase Order or Redemption
Order may be cancelled by the Trustee and the Authorized Participant will be solely
responsible for all costs incurred by the Trust, the Trustee or the Custodian
related to the cancelled Order. The Authorized Participant will not, however,
be responsible for costs incurred by the Trust, the Trustee, or the Custodian
related to cancelled Orders where the failure to transfer Deposit Property to
the Trust is due to the gross negligence, bad faith, or reckless or willful
misconduct of the Trustee, the Sponsor, or the Custodian. The foregoing
provisions notwithstanding, the Authorized Participant shall not be liable for
any failure or delay in making Delivery of Bullion in respect of a Purchase
Order or for any failure or delay in surrendering Shares for redemption arising
from nuclear fission or fusion, radioactivity, war, terrorist event, invasion,
insurrection, civil commotion, riot, strike, act of government, public
authority, public service or utility problems, power outages resulting in
telephone, telecopy and computer failures, acts of God, such as fires, floods,
extreme weather conditions, market conditions or activities causing trading
halts, systems failures involving computer or other information systems
affecting the Authorized Participant, or similar extraordinary events beyond
the Authorized Participant&#146;s control. In the event of any such delay, the time
to complete Delivery in respect of a Purchase Order or Redemption Order will be
extended for a period equal to that during which the inability to perform
continues. Upon the deposit of any Bullion, the Authorized Participant as Depositor
represents and warrants that (i) the Bullion meets the relevant requirements to
be such Bullion and contains the required number of Ounces, (ii) the Authorized
Participant is duly authorized to make such deposit of Bullion and (iii) at the
time of delivery, the Bullion is free and clear of any lien, pledge,
encumbrance, right, charge or claim.</FONT></P>

 respect of any Deposit Property transferred to the Trust that, based on the

 Likewise, the Authorized Participant acknowledges and agrees to return to the

 respect to any Redemption Order, the Authorized Participant on behalf of
 itself and any Authorized Participant Client acknowledges and agrees to
 return to the Trust any payment, distribution or other amount paid to it or
 an Authorized Participant Client in respect of any property transferred to
 the Authorized Participant or any Authorized Participant Client that, based
 on the valuation of such property at the time of transfer, should have been

 Client by an amount equal to any payment, distribution or other sum to be
 paid to the Authorized Participant or to the Authorized Participant Client in
 respect of any property transferred to the Authorized Participant or any
 Authorized Participant Client that, based on the valuation of such property

 Trustee so reduces an amount of any property appropriately due to the
 Authorized Participant, the Authorized Participant shall not be required to
 return to the Trust payments, distributions or other amounts equal to such
 reduction that has been paid to the Authorized Participant or the Authorized
 Participant Client as is contemplated in the first sentence of this Section
 1.08(b). Likewise, the Trust acknowledges and agrees to return to the

the related telephone call or email transmission, the Trustee will attempt to
contact the Authorized Participant to request confirmation of the terms of the

Order. If an Authorized Representative confirms the terms as they appear in the

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
2.01. <U>Certification</U>. Concurrently with the execution of the Authorized
Participant Agreement, the Authorized Participant shall deliver to the Trustee
a certificate in a form as attached at Schedule 3-A to the Authorized
Participant Agreement (an &#147;<B>Authorized
Representative Certificate</B>&#148;) signed by the Authorized Participant&#146;s
Secretary or other duly authorized person setting forth the names, signatures,
e-mail addresses and telephone and facsimile numbers of all persons authorized
to give instructions relating to any activity contemplated hereby or any other
notice, request or instruction on behalf of the Authorized Participant (each an
&#147;<B>Authorized Representative</B>&#148;). Such
certificate may be accepted and relied upon by the Trustee as conclusive
evidence of the facts set forth therein and shall be considered to be in full
force and effect until (i) receipt by the Trustee of a superseding Authorized
Representative Certificate, or (ii) termination of the Authorized Participant
Agreement. After such Authorized Representative Certificate is accepted by the
Trustee, the Authorized Participant may authorize additional Authorized
Representatives to give instructions relating to any activity contemplated
hereby or any other notice, request or instruction on behalf of the Authorized
Participant by delivering to the Trustee an addendum to the certificate
described above in a form as attached at Schedule 3-B to the Authorized
Participant Agreement. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
2.02. <U>PIN Numbers</U>. The Trustee shall issue to each Authorized
Participant a unique personal identification number (&#147;<B>PIN Number</B>&#148;) by which such Authorized
Participant shall be identified and instructions issued by the Authorized
Participant shall be authenticated. The PIN Number shall be kept confidential
and only provided to Authorized Representatives. The Authorized Participant may
revoke the PIN Number at any time upon written notice to the Trustee, and the
Authorized Participant shall be responsible for doing so in the event that it
becomes aware that an unauthorized person has received access to its PIN Number
or has or intends to use the PIN Number in an unauthorized manner. Upon receipt
of such written request, the Trustee shall, as promptly as practicable,
de-activate the PIN Number. If an Authorized Participant&#146;s PIN Number is
changed, the new PIN Number will become effective on a date mutually agreed
upon by the Authorized Participant and the Trustee. Except as otherwise
provided in these Standard Terms, the Authorized Participant agrees that,
absent the Trustee&#146;s fraud, gross negligence, bad faith or reckless or willful
misconduct in failing to cancel the PIN Number promptly following a written
request to do so from the Authorized Participant or the termination of the
Authorized Participant Agreement, none of the Trust or the Trustee shall be
liable for losses incurred by the Authorized Participant as a result of
unauthorized use of the Authorized Participant&#146;s PIN Number prior to the time
when the Authorized Participant provides</FONT></P>

2.03. <U>Termination of Authority</U>. Upon the termination or revocation of
authority of an Authorized Representative by the Authorized Participant, the
Authorized Participant shall (i) give, as promptly as practicable under the
circumstances, written notice of such fact to the Trustee and such notice shall
be effective upon receipt by the Trustee; and (ii) request a new PIN Number.
The Trustee shall, as promptly as practicable, de-activate the PIN Number upon
receipt of such written notice. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
2.04. <U>Verification</U>. The Trustee may assume that all instructions issued
to it using the Authorized Participant&#146;s PIN Number have been properly placed
by Authorized Representatives, unless the Trustee has actual knowledge to the
contrary or the Authorized Participant has revoked its PIN Number. The Trustee
shall have no duty to verify that an Order is being placed by an Authorized
Representative that uses a valid PIN Number. The Authorized Participant agrees
that the Trustee shall not be responsible, absent the Trustee&#146;s fraud, gross
negligence, bad faith or reckless or willful misconduct, 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, unless the Trustee previously received from the
Authorized Participant written notice to revoke its PIN Number. </FONT></P>

qualified to act as a broker or dealer in the states or other jurisdictions
where it transacts business to the extent so required by applicable law, and

that it will maintain such registrations, qualifications, and membership in
good standing and in full force and effect throughout the term of the
Authorized Participant Agreement. The Authorized Participant further agrees to
comply with all applicable U.S. federal laws, 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&#146;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

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 the preceding
paragraph, the Authorized Participant nevertheless agrees to observe the
applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which such offer and/or sale is made and
to conduct its business in accordance with the FINRA Conduct Rules, to the
extent the foregoing relates to the Authorized Participant&#146;s transactions in,

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
3.04. <U>Compliance with Certain Laws</U>. If the Authorized Participant is
subject to the requirements of the Uniting and Strengthening America by
Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of
2001 (the &#147;<B>U.S.A. PATRIOT Act</B>&#148;),
the Authorized Participant has policies and procedures reasonably designed to
comply with the anti-money laundering and related provisions of the U.S.A.
PATRIOT Act. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
3.05. <U>Authorized Participant Status</U>. The Authorized Participant understands
and acknowledges that the method by which Baskets of Shares will be created and
traded may raise certain issues under applicable securities laws. For example,
because new Baskets of Shares may be issued and sold by the Trust on an ongoing
basis, at any point a &#147;distribution&#148;, as such term is used in the 1933 Act, may
occur. </FONT></P>

Participant will have no authority to act as agent for the Trust or the Trustee
in any matter or in any respect. The Authorized Participant agrees to make
itself and its employees available, upon reasonable request, during normal

concerning the performance of the Authorized Participant&#146;s responsibilities
under the Authorized Participant Agreement; <I>provided,

representatives to make on its behalf, any representations concerning Shares
other than those not inconsistent with the Trust&#146;s then current Prospectus or
