Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Invesco”), the managing owner of PowerShares DB G10 Currency Harvest Fund, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Fund”), and Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc. (“DBSI”) entered into a Futures and Options Agreement for Institutional Customers (the “Futures and Options Agreement”), dated as of October 15, 2015, relating to transactions that DBSI may execute, clear and/or carry on the Fund’s behalf for the purchase or sale of futures contracts and similar transactions. The Futures and Options Agreement amends, restates and supersedes in its entirety the prior Futures and Options Agreement for Institutional Customers between DBSI and the Fund, dated December 31, 2010.

In respect of the transactions effected pursuant to the Futures and Options Agreement, the Fund will pay all fees, costs, commissions and charges for each contract and account and interest on any deficiencies or debit balances in the account and on any funds advanced to or provided on behalf of the Fund. The Fund will also pay its own fees, charges and taxes incurred by DBSI or imposed by applicable law or any regulatory or self-regulatory organization with respect to any contract or account of the Fund.

The Futures and Options Agreement may be terminated by any party by providing the other party with written notice of termination specifying the effective termination date. The effective termination date shall be no less than thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the notice.

The Fund will indemnify, defend and hold harmless DBSI and its officers, employees and agents for any fine, penalty, tax, loss, liability or cost, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by DBSI or its affiliates that arises out of or is related to the Fund’s failure to comply with applicable law or to perform any obligation required under the Futures and Options Agreement.

The foregoing description is a summary, does not purport to be a complete description of the Futures and Options Agreement, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Futures and Options Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
