Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
The general partner and limited partner of United States Oil Fund, LP (the “Fund”) entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Amended Limited Partnership Agreement”) on November 13, 2007. The Amended Limited Partnership Agreement provides for the operation of the Fund and the rights and obligations of the partners.

The Amended Limited Partnership Agreement amends and restates the Fund’s current limited partnership agreement, the Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership entered into on January 19, 2007 (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”), in its entirety. The amendments are largely editorial in nature or conforming changes. The key substantive amendment relates to the tax preparation expenses to be directly borne by the Fund. Article 3.1.2 of the Limited Partnership Agreement has been changed in the Amended Limited Partnership Agreement to explicitly state that the Fund will pay the fees and expenses associated with its tax accounting and reporting requirements that are directly dependent on the number of Fund investors and the General Partner will continue to pay any fees for implementation of services and base services fees charged by the accounting firm responsible for preparing the Fund’s tax reporting forms. Previously, Article 3.1.2 of the Limited Partnership Agreement did not specifically address fees and expenses associated with the Fund’s tax accounting and reporting requirements. The board of directors of the General Partner has determined that fees for implementation of services and base services fees charged by the accounting firm responsible for preparing the Fund’s tax reporting forms would be considered expenses in the ordinary course to be paid by the General Partner, but that the other less predictable fees and expenses associated with the Fund’s tax accounting and reporting requirements, which are dependant on the number of Fund investors, will be borne by the Fund.

A copy of the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
