1 The calculation of underlying value is described in the prospectus. For more information regarding the S&P/Case-Shiller Composite-10 Home Price Index, please refer to the S&P index methodology document, which can be found at www.standardandpoors.com or www.MacroMarkets.com. 2 For all MacroShares products, premium and discounted market prices (relative to underlying value) are normal. These market prices reflect supply and demand, as well as factors that the prices of other exchange-traded products may not be affected by, including investor expectations for Reference Index performance over the remaining term of the security. 3 Income derived from United States Government securities is exempt from state and local taxes; income from repurchase agreements is not. Consult your tax advisor. 4 Subject to early termination as described the prospectus. 5 The Reference Index Range is the maximum performance range of the Reference Index that can be tracked by the Underlying Value of the Major Metro Housing MacroShares. If the Reference Index rises to or above [ 258.61 ] or falls to or below [ 104.35 ], and, in either case, remains at or above that level (or at or below that level, as applicable) for three consecutive index publication days, these securities will terminate but continue to trade until the business day before the next scheduled quarterly distribution date and then be redeemed at their underlying value.

How MacroShares Work | |||
MacroShares are issued in pairs: When MacroShares Major Metro Housing Up are created, an equal number of MacroShares Major Metro Housing Down are also created. | |||
| |||
MacroShares funds are invested in short-term Treasury Bills, overnight repurchase agreements secured by Treasuries and cash. | |||
| |||
Major Metro Housing Up funds are invested in the “Major Metro Housing Up Trust.” | |||
Major Metro Housing Down investor funds are invested in a separate “Major Metro Housing Down Trust”. These trusts enter into a settlement contract: a binding agreement to pledge assets to one another over time, according to a predetermined formula that is driven by changes in the Reference Index. | |||
| |||
The Underlying Value (UV) of these MacroShares changes according to twice the movement, in percent terms, of the S&P/Case-Shiller Composite-10 Home Price Index. When the index level increases, the UV of MacroShares Major Metro Housing Up increases (and vice versa). The market price of MacroShares typically diverges from their UV. This is normal, and reflects a variety of market factors - including investor expectations regarding the future path of home prices over the remaining term of the security. | |||
