Commodity could adversely affect the value of the notes. Additionally, there is a risk that part or all of the Fund's holdings in its
Underlying Commodity could be lost, damaged or stolen. Access to the Fund's Underlying Commodity could also be restricted by
natural events (such as an earthquake) or human actions (such as a terrorist attack). All of these factors may lead to a lack of
correlation between the performance of the Fund and its Underlying Commodity. In addition, because the shares of the Fund are
traded on a securities exchange and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the market value of one share of the Fund
may differ from the net asset value per share of the Fund.
During periods of market volatility, the Fund's Underlying Commodity may be unavailable in the secondary market, market
participants may be unable to calculate accurately the net asset value per share of the Fund and the liquidity of the Fund may be
adversely affected. This kind of market volatility may also disrupt the ability of market participants to create and redeem shares of
the Fund. Further, market volatility may adversely affect, sometimes materially, the prices at which market participants are willing
to buy and sell shares of the Fund. As a result, under these circumstances, the market value of shares of the Fund may vary
substantially from the net asset value per share of the Fund. For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of the Fund may not
correlate with the performance of its Underlying Commodity as well as the net asset value per share of the Fund, which could
materially and adversely affect the value of the notes in the secondary market and/or reduce any payment on the notes.
• THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SILVER -
The Fund seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of silver, less the Fund's expenses and liabilities. The price of
silver is primarily affected by global demand for and supply of silver. Silver prices can fluctuate widely and may be affected by
numerous factors. These include general economic trends, increases in silver hedging activity by silver producers, significant
changes in attitude by speculators and investors in silver, technical developments, substitution issues and regulation, as well as
specific factors including industrial and jewelry demand, expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, the relative strength of the
U.S. dollar (the currency in which the price of silver is generally quoted) and other currencies, interest rates, central bank sales,
forward sales by producers, global or regional political or economic events and production costs and disruptions in major silver-
producing countries, such as Mexico, China and Peru. The demand for and supply of silver affect silver prices, but not necessarily
in the same manner as supply and demand affect the prices of other commodities. The supply of silver consists of a combination
of new mine production and existing stocks of bullion and fabricated silver held by governments, public and private financial
institutions, industrial organizations and private individuals. In addition, the price of silver has on occasion been subject to very
rapid short-term changes due to speculative activities. From time to time, above-ground inventories of silver may also influence the
market. The major end uses for silver include industrial applications, jewelry and silverware. It is not possible to predict the
aggregate effect of all or any combination of these factors.
• THERE ARE RISKS RELATING TO COMMODITIES TRADING ON THE LBMA -
The Fund seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of silver, less the Fund's expenses and liabilities. The price of
silver is determined by the LBMA or an independent service provider appointed by the LBMA. The LBMA is a self-regulatory
association of bullion market participants. Although all market-making members of the LBMA are supervised by the Bank of
England and are required to satisfy a capital adequacy test, the LBMA itself is not a regulated entity. If the LBMA should cease
operations, or if bullion trading should become subject to a value added tax or other tax or any other form of regulation currently not
in place, the role of the LBMA silver price as a global benchmark for the value of silver may be adversely affected. The LBMA is a
principals' market, which operates in a manner more closely analogous to an over-the-counter physical commodity market than
regulated futures markets, and certain features of U.S. futures contracts are not present in the context of LBMA trading. For
example, there are no daily price limits on the LBMA which would otherwise restrict fluctuations in the prices of LBMA contracts. In
a declining market, it is possible that prices would continue to decline without limitation within a trading day or over a period of
trading days. The LBMA may alter, discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination of the LBMA silver price, which could
adversely affect the value of the notes. The LBMA, or an independent service provider appointed by the LBMA, will have no
obligation to consider your interests in calculating or revising the LBMA silver price.
• SINGLE COMMODITY PRICES TEND TO BE MORE VOLATILE THAN, AND MAY NOT CORRELATE WITH, THE PRICES OF
COMMODITIES GENERALLY -
The Fund is linked to a single commodity and not to a diverse basket of commodities or a broad-based commodity index. The
Fund's Underlying Commodity may not correlate to the price of commodities generally and may diverge significantly from the prices
of commodities generally. As a result, the notes carry greater risk and may be more volatile than notes linked to the prices of more
commodities or a broad-based commodity index.
• THE ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION FOR THE FUND IS LIMITED -
The calculation agent will make adjustments to the Share Adjustment Factor for certain events affecting the shares of the Fund.
However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect the shares of the Fund. If an
