Breakeven Analysis (page 7)
Footnote 2 of the Breakeven Analysis is amended as follows. The change in the footnote did not change the number in the corresponding table:
| 2) | Through May 1, 2012, Authorized Purchasers are required to pay a Creation Basket fee of $350 for each order they place to create one or more baskets. Beginning on May 2, 2012 and after, Authorized Purchasers will pay a transaction fee of $1,000 for each order placed to create one or more baskets. An order must be at least one basket, which is 100,000 units.
