     2. The Shares to be issued by the Fund will be validly issued and, subject to the qualifications set forth herein, will be fully paid and nonassessable beneficial interests in the Fund, as to which the Limited Owners, as beneficial owners of the Fund, will be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, subject to the obligation of a Limited Owner to make certain payments provided for in the Trust Agreement.
