years in an easily accessible place, a
written record of each purchase of
securities in Affiliated Underwritings
once an investment by a Fund of Funds
in the securities of an Underlying
Management Company exceeds the limit
of section 12(d)(1)(A)(i) of the Act,
setting forth from whom the securities
were acquired, the identity of the
underwriting syndicate’s members, the
terms of the purchase, and the
information or materials upon which
the determinations of the Board of the
Underlying Management Company were
made.
8. Prior to an investment in shares of
an Underlying Management Company in
excess of the limit in section
12(d)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, the Fund of
Funds and the Underlying Management
Company will execute a Participation
Agreement stating, without limitation,
that their Boards and their investment
advisers understand the terms and
conditions of the order and agree to
fulfill their responsibilities under the
order. At the time of its investment in
shares of an Underlying Management
Company in excess of the limit in
section 12(d)(1)(A)(i), a Fund of Funds
will notify the Underlying Management
Company of the investment. At such
time, the Fund of Funds also will
transmit to the Underlying Management
Company a list of the names of each
Fund of Funds Affiliate and
Underwriting Affiliate. The Fund of
Funds will notify the Underlying
Management Company of any changes
to the list as soon as reasonably
practicable after a change occurs. The
Underlying Management Company and
the Fund of Funds will maintain and
preserve a copy of the order, the
Participation Agreement, and the list
with any updated information for the
duration of the investment and for a
period of not less than six years
thereafter, the first two years in an
easily accessible place.
9. Prior to approving any investment
advisory agreement under section 15 of
the Act with respect to a Fund of Funds,
the Board of the Company, including a
majority of the Disinterested Directors,
will find that the advisory fees charged
under such agreement are based on
services provided that are in addition to,
rather than duplicative of, the services
provided under the investment advisory
agreement(s) of any Underlying Fund in
which the Fund of Funds may invest.
The finding, and the basis upon which
the finding was made, will be recorded
fully in the minute books of the
Company.
10. The Adviser will waive fees

Funds in an amount at least equal to any

pursuant to a plan adopted by an
Underlying Management Company
under rule 12b–1 under the Act)
received from an Underlying Fund by
the Adviser or an affiliated person of the
Adviser, other than any advisory fees
paid to the Adviser or its affiliated
person by an Underlying Management
Company, in connection with the
investment by the Fund of Funds in the
Underlying Fund. Any Sub-Adviser will
waive fees otherwise payable to the SubAdviser, directly or indirectly, by the
Fund of Funds in an amount at least
equal to any compensation received
from an Underlying Fund by the SubAdviser, or an affiliated person of the
Sub-Adviser, other than any advisory
fees paid to the Sub-Adviser or its
affiliated person by an Underlying
Management Company, in connection
with the investment by the Fund of
Funds in the Underlying Fund made at
the direction of the Sub-Adviser. In the
event that the Sub-Adviser waives fees,
the benefit of the waiver will be passed
through to the Fund of Funds.
11. Any sales charges and/or service
fees charged with respect to shares of a
Fund of Funds will not exceed the
limits applicable to funds of funds set
forth in NASD Conduct Rule 2830.
12. No Underlying Fund will acquire
securities of any other investment
company or company relying on section
3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the Act in excess of
the limits contained in section
12(d)(1)(A) of the Act, except to the
extent that such Underlying Fund (i)
receives securities of another
investment company as a dividend or as
a result of a plan of reorganization of a
company (other than a plan devised for
the purpose of evading Section 12(d)(1)
of the 1940 Act); or (ii) acquires (or is
deemed to have acquired) securities of
another investment company pursuant
to exemptive relief from the
Commission permitting such
Underlying Fund to (a) acquire
securities of one or more affiliated
investment companies for short-term
cash management purposes, or (b)
engage in interfund borrowing and
lending transactions.

Stock Exchange, Inc.; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of
Proposed Rule Change Relating to
Exchange Fees and Charges
March 7, 2007.
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2
notice is hereby given that on March 1,
2007, the Boston Stock Exchange, Inc.
(‘‘BSE’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule
change as described in Items I, II, and
III below, which Items have been
substantially prepared by the BSE. The
BSE has designated this proposal as one
establishing or changing a due, fee, or
other charge imposed by the BSE under
Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act,3 and
Rule 19b–4(f)(2) thereunder,4 which
renders the proposal effective upon
filing with the Commission. The
Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule
change from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The BSE proposes to amend the
Minimum Activity Charge (‘‘MAC’’)
contained in the Fee Schedule for the
Boston Options Exchange (‘‘BOX’’). The
Exchange proposes to add an alternative
calculation of the minimum activity
charge called ‘‘MiniMAC.’’ The text of
the proposed rule change is available at
the BSE, the Commission’s Public
Reference Room, and https://
www.bostonstock.com/legal/filings/
2007-10.pdf.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission, the
BSE included statements concerning the
purpose of, and basis for, the proposed
rule change and discussed any
comments it received on the proposed
rule change. The text of these statements
may be examined at the places specified
in Item IV below. The BSE has prepared
summaries, set forth in Sections A, B,

and C below, of the most significant
aspects of such statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend the
MAC which is contained in the Fee
Schedule for BOX. Currently, in order to
determine if a Market Maker has
reached its MAC, volume in their
assigned (and unassigned) classes is
charged a flat fee, which is then
compared to the MAC. The Exchange
now proposes to establish an alternative
calculation of the minimum activity
charge called ‘‘MiniMAC.’’
The MiniMAC is the Minimum
Activity Charge (‘‘MAC’’) discounted at
fifty percent and is payable if a per
contract traded fee of $0.40 (or $0.30 per
contract traded in the case of classes
traded that are included in the Penny
Pilot Program), when multiplied by the
Market Maker’s actual trade executions
for the month, does not result in a total
trading fee payable to BOX at least equal
to the monthly total of 50% of the MAC
(MiniMAC). If the MiniMAC is reached,
11923
the $0.40 per contract traded rate (or
$0.30 per contract traded rate in the case
of classes traded that are included in the
Penny Pilot Program), will still be
applied to the exceeding volume until
MAC is reached. If the MAC is reached,
the $0.20 per contract rate (or $0.15 per
contract rate in the case of classes
traded that are included in the Penny
Pilot Program) will be applied to any
exceeding volume.
The following examples illustrate
BOX billing calculations assuming one
category A assigned class with a MAC
of $10,000 and three different levels of
volume executed:

BOX will apply whichever is lower,
the MAC or the MiniMAC. The purpose
of this proposed change is to provide for
an alternative so that BOX is able to
lower the fees for BOX Participants. The
Exchange believes that the proposed
change is necessary to equitably allocate
the minimum activity charge fees to all
of its Participants.

2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the
proposal is consistent with the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act,5
in general, and Section 6(b)(4) of the
Act,6 in particular, which requires that
an exchange provide for the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and
other charges among its members and
5 15

issuers and other persons using its
facilities.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will impose
any burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The foregoing rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)
of the Act 7 and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) 8
thereunder because it changes a fee
imposed by the Exchange. At any time
within 60 days of the filing of such
proposed rule change, the Commission
may summarily abrogate such rule
change if it appears to the Commission
that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for
the protection of investors, or otherwise
in furtherance of the purposes of the
Act.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
CBOE Rule 8.3A, Maximum Number
of Market Participants Quoting
Electronically per Product, establishes
class quoting limits (‘‘CQLs’’) for each
class traded on the Hybrid Trading
System.5 A CQL is the maximum
number of quoters that may quote
electronically in a given product and the
current levels are established from 25–
40, depending on the trading activity of
the particular product.
Rule 8.3A, Interpretation .01(c)
provides a procedure by which the
President of the Exchange may increase
the CQL for a particular product. In this
regard, the President of the Exchange
may increase the CQL in exceptional
circumstances, which are defined in the
rule as ‘‘* * * substantial trading
volume, whether actual or expected.’’ 6
The effect of an increase in the CQL is
procompetitive in that it increases the
number of market participants that may
quote electronically in a product. The
purpose of this filing is to increase the
CQL in the option class NYSE Group,
Inc. (NYX) from its current limit of 40
to 45.7
Increasing the CQL in NYX options
will enable the Exchange to enhance the
liquidity offered, thereby offering
deeper and more liquid markets
2. Statutory Basis
CBOE believes the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act and
the rules and regulations under the Act
applicable to a national securities
exchange and, in particular, the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.8
Specifically, the Exchange believes the
proposed rule change is consistent with
the Section 6(b)(5) 9 requirements that
the rules of an exchange be designed to
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change
The BSE proposes to amend the Minimum Activity Charge (``MAC'')

the minimum activity charge called ``MiniMAC.'' The text of the

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
In its filing with the Commission, the BSE included statements
concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The BSE has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections A,
B,
[[Page 11923]]
and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend the MAC which is contained in the
Fee Schedule for BOX. Currently, in order to determine if a Market
Maker has reached its MAC, volume in their assigned (and unassigned)
classes is charged a flat fee, which is then compared to the MAC. The
Exchange now proposes to establish an alternative calculation of the
minimum activity charge called ``MiniMAC.''
The MiniMAC is the Minimum Activity Charge (``MAC'') discounted at
fifty percent and is payable if a per contract traded fee of $0.40 (or
$0.30 per contract traded in the case of classes traded that are
included in the Penny Pilot Program), when multiplied by the Market
Maker's actual trade executions for the month, does not result in a
total trading fee payable to BOX at least equal to the monthly total of
50% of the MAC (MiniMAC). If the MiniMAC is reached, the $0.40 per
contract traded rate (or $0.30 per contract traded rate in the case of
classes traded that are included in the Penny Pilot Program), will
still be applied to the exceeding volume until MAC is reached. If the
MAC is reached, the $0.20 per contract rate (or $0.15 per contract rate
in the case of classes traded that are included in the Penny Pilot
Program) will be applied to any exceeding volume.
The following examples illustrate BOX billing calculations assuming
one category A assigned class with a MAC of $10,000 and three different
levels of volume executed:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MAC: $10,000 MiniMAC: $5,000
Volume: 20,000 Volume: 20,000
Volume at $0.20: $4,000 Volume at $0.40: $8,000 (20,000 contracts)

MAC: $10,000 MiniMAC: $5,000
Volume: 60,000 Volume: 60,000
Volume at $0.20: $12,000 Volume at $0.40: $10,000 (25,000 contracts)
......... Volume at $0.20: $7,000 (35,000 contracts)
------------
......... Total $17,000
Subtotal A: $12,000 Subtotal B: $17,000 ..................... Final Charge:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOX will apply whichever is lower, the MAC or the MiniMAC. The
purpose of this proposed change is to provide for an alternative so
that BOX is able to lower the fees for BOX Participants. The Exchange
believes that the proposed change is necessary to equitably allocate
the minimum activity charge fees to all of its Participants.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act,\5\ in general, and Section
6(b)(4) of the Act,\6\ in particular, which requires that an exchange
provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and

in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

it changes a fee imposed by the Exchange. At any time within 60 days of
the filing of such proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily
abrogate such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such
action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the
protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of
