The Series will pay its own operating costs plus its proportionate share of the Master Fund’s expenses, including, without limitation: ongoing offering expenses; trading costs (including execution and clearing brokerage commissions); forward and other over-the-counter trading spreads; administrative, transfer, exchange and redemption processing, legal, regulatory, reporting, filing, tax, audit, escrow, accounting and printing fees and expenses, as well as extraordinary expenses. Such operating costs are allocated pro rata among the Units based on their respective net asset values for all other purposes. These expenses are paid in addition to the other expenses described below.


The Sponsor has retained outside service providers to supply certain services, including, without limitation, tax reporting, accounting, legal, and escrow services. Operating costs include the Series’ allocable share of the fees and expenses of such outside service providers.


Under signed agreement, the Trading Advisor for the Series receives a monthly Management Fee at the rate of 0.167% (a 2% annual rate) of the Series’ month-end net asset value for all other purposes (see Note 3) calculated before reduction for any Management Fees, Performance Fees, Sponsor’s Fees, Sales Commission or extraordinary fees accrued (including Performance Fees accrued in a prior month) as of such month-end and before giving effect to any capital contributions made as of the beginning of the month immediately following such month-end and before any distributions or redemptions accrued during or as of such month-end, but after all expenses as of such month-end. The Series incurred Management Fees of $710,562 and $609,483 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and accrued $0 owed to the Trading Advisor at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


Also, under signed agreement, the Trading Advisor receives a quarterly Performance Fee equal to 20% of the new net trading profits, if any, of the Series calculated before deducting the Administrative Fee, the Sponsor’s Fee and Sales Commission but after deducting the Management Fee. The Series incurred Performance Fees of $70,642 and $0 during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, no amounts were accrued and owed to the Trading Advisor at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


As the Management and Performance Fees are paid out of the Master Fund, via a redemption by the Series from the Master Fund, the amounts of Management and Performance Fees owed to the Trading Advisor as of June 30, 2011 and 2010 are reflected on the Master Fund’s Statements of Financial Condition as Payable to Trading Advisor.
