(2) The Amendment revised the Operating Agreement to provide that the Sponsor in determining the net assets of the Registrant may depart from generally accepted accounting principles for all purposes other than for financial statement purposes, including without limitation for purposes of subscriptions and redemptions and fee calculations, if the Sponsor determines in its good-faith discretion that this departure is advisable in order to better reflect the true value of any asset or amount of any liability, or to further the fair and equitable treatment of Investors.
Previously this provision provided simply that the net assets of the Registrant will be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
