receive $5,000,000 in proceeds from the sale of the Creation Basket ($50 NAV per unit multiplied by 100,000 units, and ignoring the Creation Basket fee of $350). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

offering. USBO continuously offers Creation Baskets consisting of 100,000 units through the Marketing Agent, to Authorized Purchasers. Merrill Lynch Professional Clearing Corp. was the initial Authorized Purchaser. The initial Authorized Purchaser
purchased the initial Creation Basket of 100,000 units at $50 per unit on June&nbsp;2, 2010. Authorized Purchasers pay a $350 fee for each order to create one or more Creation Baskets. The Marketing Agent receives, for its services as marketing
agent to USBO, a marketing fee of 0.06% on assets up to the first $3 billion and 0.04% on assets in excess of $3 billion; provided, however, that in no event may the aggregate compensation paid to the Marketing Agent and any affiliate of the General
Partner for distribution-related services in connection with this offering of units exceed ten percent (10%)&nbsp;of the gross proceeds of this offering. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

may place orders to create and redeem baskets. Authorized Purchasers must be (1)&nbsp;registered broker-dealers or other securities market participants, such as banks and other financial institutions, that are not required to register as
broker-dealers to engage in securities transactions as described below, and (2)&nbsp;DTC Participants. To become an Authorized Purchaser, a person must enter into an Authorized Purchaser Agreement with the General Partner. The Authorized Purchaser
Agreement provides the procedures for the creation and redemption of baskets and for the delivery of the Treasuries and any cash required for such creations and redemptions. The Authorized Purchaser Agreement and the related procedures attached
thereto may be amended by USBO, without the consent of any limited partner or unitholder or Authorized Purchaser. Authorized Purchasers pay a transaction fee of $350 to USBO for each order they place to create or redeem one or more baskets.
Authorized Purchasers who make deposits with USBO in exchange for baskets receive no fees, commissions or other form of compensation or inducement of any kind from either USBO or the General Partner, and no such person will have any obligation or
responsibility to the General Partner or USBO to effect any sale or resale of units. As of December&nbsp;31, 2010, 5 Authorized Purchasers had entered into agreements with the General Partner on behalf of USBO. During the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2010, USBO issued 2 Creation Baskets and redeemed 0 Redemption Baskets. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Creation and Redemption Transaction Fee (page

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">To compensate USBO for its expenses in connection with the creation and redemption of baskets, an Authorized Purchaser is required to pay a transaction fee to USBO of $350 per order to create or redeem
baskets. An order may include multiple baskets. The transaction fee may be reduced, increased or otherwise changed by the General Partner. The General Partner shall notify DTC of any change in the transaction fee and will not implement any increase
in the fee for the redemption of baskets until 30 days after the date of the notice. </FONT></P>
