the Investment Manager a fee for its services at the annual rate of 1.00% of the
Issuers's average daily net assets. The fee is accrued each calendar day and the
sum of the daily fee accruals is paid monthly. The daily fee accrual is computed
by multiplying 1/365 by the annual rate and multiplying the product by the net
asset value of the Issuer as of the close of business on the previous day. LCM's
fee was substantially similar. Certain officers and directors of the Fund are
officers and directors of the Investment Manager. The Issuer reimbursed the
Investment Manager $38,322 for providing certain administrative and accounting
service at cost during the year ended December 31, 2004. Effective December 20,
2005, the investment management fee annual rate was reduced to 0.50% of the
