enforceability of the transactions authorized by the Oral Instructions or PFPC’s
ability to rely upon such Oral Instructions.

receives from or on behalf of the Partnership and which PFPC believes, in good faith

	 	 	 	.055% of the Partnership’s next $200 million of
beginning of month net assets; and
	 
	 	 	 	.040% of the Partnership’s beginning of month net assets in excess of $400 million.

the Partnership is domiciled, plus $1,000 for each additional state or local return
that is required.
	 
	 	 	 	Fees quoted assume the use of the aggregate method of allocation of realized gains
and losses. Should the Partnership make a tax election under IRC Section 754,
additional fees will be assessed.
	 
	 	5.	 	Out-of-Pocket Expenses:
	 
	 	 	 	The Partnership will reimburse PFPC for out-of-pocket expenses incurred on the
