WHEREAS, the Trust, the Trading Company and the Trading Advisor desire to enter
into this Agreement in order to set forth the terms and conditions upon which
the Trading Advisor will render and implement commodity advisory services on
behalf of the Trust during the term of this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

 

1. Duties of the Trading Advisor.

(a) Appointment. The Trading Company and the Managing Owner hereby appoint the
Trading Advisor, and the Trading Advisor hereby accepts appointment, as the
Trading Company’s limited attorney-in-fact to exercise discretion to invest and
reinvest in Commodities during the term of this Agreement the amount of assets
allocated to the Trading Advisor by the Managing Owner as set forth on Exhibit A
hereto, as such Exhibit A may be amended from time to time (the “Allocated
Assets”) on the terms and conditions and for the purposes set forth herein. The

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Managing Owner may adjust the amount of Allocated Assets once a week during each
calendar month. In addition, the Managing Owner also may adjust the Allocated
Assets on any Business Day in the event that the Trust receives cumulative
subscriptions, exchanges or redemptions of Units during any month in an amount
equal to 20% or greater of the Net Asset Value of the Series of which the
proceeds are being invested in the Trading Company as of the most recent
calendar month end. This limited power-of attorney is a continuing power and
shall continue in effect with respect to the Trading Advisor until terminated
hereunder. The Trading Advisor shall have sole authority and responsibility for
independently directing the investment and reinvestment in Commodities of the
Allocated Assets for the term of this Agreement pursuant to the trading
programs, methods, systems, strategies which the Trust and the Managing Owner
have selected to be utilized by the Trading Advisor in trading the Allocated
Assets as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Trading Approach”),
subject to the trading policies and limitations as set forth in the Prospectus
and attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Trading Policies and Limitations”), as
the same may be modified from time to time and provided in writing to the
Trading Advisor. The portion of the Allocated Assets to be allocated by the
Trading Advisor at any point in time to one or more of the various trading
strategies comprising the Trading Approach will be determined as set forth in
the Prospectus or as otherwise agreed to with the Managing Owner, it being
understood that trading gains and losses automatically will alter the agreed
upon allocations. Upon receipt of a new allocation, the Trading Advisor will
determine and, if required, adjust its trading in light of the new allocation.-

(b) Allocation of Responsibilities. The Managing Owner will have the
responsibility for the management of any portion of the Allocated Assets that
are not invested in Commodities. The Trading Advisor will use its good faith
best efforts in determining the investment and reinvestment in Commodities of
the Allocated Assets in compliance with the Trading Policies and Limitations,
and in accordance with the Trading Approach. In the event that the Managing
Owner shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine in good faith
following consultation appropriate under the circumstances with the Trading
Advisor that any trading instruction issued by the Trading Advisor violates the
Trust’s Trading Policies and Limitations, then the Managing Owner, following
reasonable notice to the Trading Advisor appropriate under the circumstances,
may override such trading instruction. Nothing herein shall be construed to
prevent the Managing Owner from imposing any limitation(s) on the trading
activities of the Trading Company beyond those enumerated in the Prospectus if
the Managing Owner determines that such limitation(s) are necessary or in the
best interests of the Trust or the Trading Company, in which case the Trading
Advisor will adhere to such limitations following written notification thereof.

(c) Certain Agreements of the Trading Advisor. The Trading Advisor agrees that
at least 90% of the annual gross income and gain, if any, generated by its
Trading Approach for the Allocated Assets will result from buying and selling
Commodities.

(d) Modification of Trading Approach. In the event the Trading Advisor requests
to use, or the Managing Owner requests the Trading Advisor to use, a trading
program, system, method or strategy other than or in addition to the trading
programs, systems, methods or strategies comprising the Trading Approach in
connection with trading for the Trading Company (including, without limitation,
the deletion or addition of an agreed upon trading program, system, method or
strategy to the then agreed upon Trading Approach), either in whole or in part,
the Trading Advisor may not do so and/or shall not be required to do so, as
appropriate, unless both the Managing Owner and the Trading Advisor consent
thereto in writing.

(e)(1) Notification of Material Changes. The Trading Advisor also agrees to give
the Managing Owner prior written notice of any proposed material change in its
Trading Approach, and agrees not to make any material change in such Trading
Approach (as applied to the Trading Company) over the objection of the Managing
Owner, it being understood that the Trading Advisor shall be free to institute
non-material changes in its Trading Approach (as applied to the Trading Company)
without prior written notification. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, refinements to the Trading Approach, the deletion of Commodities, and
the addition of Commodities then being traded (i) on organized domestic
commodities exchanges, (ii) on foreign commodities exchanges recognized by the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”) as providing customer
protections comparable to those provided on domestic exchanges, or (iii) in the
interbank foreign currency market to or from the Trading Approach shall not be
deemed a material change in the Trading Approach, and prior approval of the
Managing Owner shall not be required therefor. The only forward markets that
will be permitted to be utilized are the interbank foreign currency markets and
the London Metal Exchange.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2) Subject to adequate assurances of confidentiality, the Trading Advisor
agrees that it will discuss with the Managing Owner upon request any trading
methods, programs, systems or strategies used by it for trading customer
accounts which differ from the Trading Approach used for the Trading Company,
provided, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall require the Trading
Advisor to disclose what it deems to be proprietary or confidential information.

(f) Request for Information. The Trading Advisor agrees to provide the Managing
Owner with any reasonable information concerning the Trading Advisor that the
Trust or the Trading Company may reasonably request (other than the identity of
its customers or proprietary or confidential information concerning the Trading
Approach), subject to receipt of adequate assurances of confidentiality by the
Managing Owner, including, but not limited to, information regarding any change
in control, key personnel, Trading Approach and financial condition which the
Trust or the Trading Company reasonably deems to be material to the Trust or the
Trading Company. The Trading Advisor also shall notify the Managing Owner of any
such matters the Trading Advisor, in its reasonable judgment, believes may be
material to the Trust or the Trading Company relating to the Trading Advisor and
the Trading Approach. During the term of this Agreement, the Trading Advisor
agrees to provide the Managing Owner with updated monthly information related to
the Trading Advisor’s performance results within a reasonable period of time
after the end of the month to which it relates.

(g) Notice of Errors. The Trading Advisor is responsible for promptly reviewing
all oral and written confirmations it receives to determine that the Commodities
trades were made in accordance with the Trading Advisor’s instructions. If the
Trading Advisor determines that an error was made in connection with a trade or
that a trade was made other than in accordance with the Trading Advisor’s
instructions, the Trading Advisor shall promptly notify the Managing Owner of
this fact, and shall utilize its reasonable best efforts to cause the error or
discrepancy to be corrected.

 

2. Standard of Liability; Indemnification.

(a)(i) The Trading Advisor shall not be liable to the Managing Owner, the Trust,
the Trustee, the Trading Company or the owners of Units (the “Limited Owners”),
or any of their respective successors or assigns under this Agreement for any
act or failure to act taken or omitted in good faith in a manner reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Trust and the
Trading Company if such act or failure to act did not constitute a breach of
this Agreement, misconduct or negligence on the part of the Trading Advisor. In
any threatened, pending or completed action, arbitration, claim, demand,
dispute, lawsuit or other proceeding (each a, “Proceeding”) to which the Trading
Advisor was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party arising out of or
in connection with this Agreement or the management of the Trust’s or Trading
Company’s assets by the Trading Advisor or the offering and sale of Units, the
Managing Owner and the Trading Company shall, subject to subsection (a)(iii) of
this Section 2, indemnify and hold harmless the Trading Advisor and its
principals, officers, directors, members, managers, shareholders, partners,
employees and affiliates (“Principals and Affiliates”) against any loss,
liability, damage, cost, expense (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ and accountants’ fees), judgments and amounts paid in settlement
(“Losses”) actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with such
Proceeding if the Trading Advisor acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Trust and the
Trading Company and provided that its conduct did not constitute negligence,
misconduct, or a breach of this Agreement; provided, however, that no
indemnification shall be available from the Managing Owner if such
indemnification is prohibited by Section 4.6(b) of the Trust Agreement. The
termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order or settlement shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that the Trading Advisor did not act in good faith
and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Trust.

(ii) Without limiting sub-section (i) above, to the extent that the Trading
Advisor has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
Proceeding referred to in subsection (i) above, or in defense of any claim,
issue or matter therein, the Managing Owner shall indemnify the Trading Advisor
and its Principals and Affiliates against the expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by them in connection therewith.

 

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iii) Any indemnification under subsection (i) above, unless ordered by a court
or administrative forum, shall be made by the Managing Owner only as authorized
in the specific case and only upon a determination by independent legal counsel
in a written opinion that such indemnification is proper in the circumstances
because the Trading Advisor has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth
in subsection (i) above; provided however, that no opinion shall be required to
the extent that the Trading Advisor incurs any Losses arising directly out of
(A) an untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material
fact required to be stated in the Prospectus or necessary to make the statements
in the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances in which they were made not
misleading, except for such statements or omissions based upon information
furnished by the Trading Advisor for inclusion in the Prospectus or(B) any
Selling Agent’s selling activities. Such independent legal counsel shall be
selected jointly by the Managing Owner and the Trading Advisor in a timely
manner. The Trading Advisor will be deemed to have approved the Managing Owner’s
selection unless the Trading Advisor notifies the Managing Owner in writing,
received by Managing Owner within five days of Managing Owner’s telecopying to
the Trading Advisor of the notice of Managing Owner’s selection, that the
Trading Advisor does not approve the selection.

(iv) In the event the Trading Advisor is made a party to any Proceeding or
otherwise incurs any Losses as a result of, or in connection with the activities
or claimed activities of the Trust, the Trading Company or the Managing Owner or
its principals, officers, directors, members, managers, shareholders, partners
or employees unrelated to the Trading Advisor, the Managing Owner shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trading Advisor and its Principals and
Affiliates against any Losses incurred in connection therewith.

(b)(i) The Trading Advisor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Managing Owner,
the Trust, the Trustee, the Trading Company and each of their respective
Principals and Affiliates against any Losses actually and reasonably incurred by
them (A) as a result of a breach of any representation, warranty or agreement of
the Trading Advisor made in this Agreement or (B) as a result of act or omission
of the Trading Advisor relating to the Trust or the Trading Company if there has
been a final judicial or regulatory determination that such act or failure to
act constituted a breach of this Agreement, misconduct or negligence on the part
of the Trading Advisor; provided, however that such final judicial or regulatory
determination shall not be required in the event of a settlement of any
Proceeding with the prior written consent of the Trading Advisor.

(ii) In the event the Managing Owner, the Trust, the Trustee or the Trading
Company is made a party to any Proceeding or otherwise incurs any Losses as a
result of, or in connection with, the activities or claimed activities of the
Trading Advisor or its Principals or Affiliates unrelated to the Managing Owner
or the Trading Company’s business, the Trading Advisor shall indemnify, defend
and hold harmless the Managing Owner, the Trust, the Trading Company and their
respective Principals and Affiliates against any Losses incurred in connection
therewith.

(c) Promptly after receipt by any of the indemnified parties under this
Agreement of notice of any Proceeding, the party seeking indemnification (the
“Indemnitee”) shall notify the party from which indemnification is sought (the
“Indemnitor”) in writing of the commencement thereof if a claim with respect
thereof is to be made under this Agreement. To the extent that the Indemnitor
has actual knowledge of the commencement of such Proceeding, the failure to
notify the Indemnitor shall not relieve such Indemnitor from any indemnification
liability which it may have to such Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 2, and
the omission to notify the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor from any
obligation or liability which it may have to any such Indemnitee otherwise than
under this Section 2. The Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the
defense of any such Proceeding and to assume the defense thereof with the
assistance of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. In any such
Proceeding, the Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the Indemnitee’s own expense
unless (i) otherwise agreed by the Indemnitor and Indemnitee or (ii) the named
parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both
the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee, and representation of both parties by the
same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between them or the existence of different or additional defenses (it
being understood, however, that the Indemnitor shall not be liable for legal
fees or other expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys for all such
Indemnitees, which firm shall be designated in writing by such Indemnitees and
be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitor). The Indemnitee shall cooperate with
the Indemnitor in connection with any such Proceeding and shall make all
personnel, books and records relevant to the Proceeding available to the
Indemnitor and grant such authorizations or powers of attorney to the agents,
representatives and counsel of the Indemnitor as the Indemnitor may reasonably
consider desirable in connection with the defense of any such Proceeding.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d) In the event that a person entitled to indemnification under this Section 2
is made a party to any Proceeding alleging both matters for which
indemnification can be made hereunder and matters for which indemnification may
not be made hereunder, such person shall be indemnified only for that portion of
the loss, liability, damage, cost or expense incurred in such Proceeding which
relates to the matters for which indemnification can be made.

(e) None of the indemnifications contained in this Section 2 shall be applicable
with respect to default judgments, confessions of judgment or settlements
entered into by the party claiming indemnification without the prior written
consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, or the party obligated to
indemnify such party.

(f) The provisions of this Section 2 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.

 

3. Limits on Claims.

(a) Prohibited Acts. The Trading Advisor agrees that it will not take any of the
following actions against the Trust: (i) seek a decree or order by a court
having jurisdiction in the premises (A) for relief in respect of the Trust in an
involuntary case or proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, rehabilitation,
liquidation or similar law or (B) adjudging the Trust a bankrupt or insolvent,
or seeking reorganization, rehabilitation, liquidation, arrangement, adjustment
or composition of or in respect of the Trust under the Federal Bankruptcy Code
or any other applicable federal or state law, or appointing a custodian,
receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar
official) of the Trust or of any substantial part of any of its properties, or
ordering the winding up or liquidation of any of its affairs, or (ii) seek a
petition for relief, reorganization or to take advantage of any law referred to
in the preceding clause or (iii) file an involuntary petition for bankruptcy
(collectively, “Bankruptcy or Insolvency Action”).

(b) Limited Assets Available. In addition, the Trading Advisor agrees that for
any obligations due and owing to it by the Trust, the Trading Advisor will look
solely and exclusively to the assets of the Trading Company or to the assets of
the Managing Owner, if it has liability in its capacity as Managing Owner, to
satisfy its claims and will not seek to attach or otherwise assert a claim
against the other assets of the Trust, whether there is a Bankruptcy or
Insolvency Action taken or otherwise. The parties agree that this provision will
survive the termination of this Agreement, whether terminated in a Bankruptcy or
Insolvency Action or otherwise.

(c) No Limited Owner Liability. This Agreement has been made and executed by and
on behalf of the Trust, the Trading Company and the Managing Owner for the
benefit of the Units of the applicable Series of the Trust and the obligations
of the Trust, the Trading Company and/or the Managing Owner set forth herein are
not binding upon any of the Limited Owners individually but are binding only
upon the assets and property identified above and no resort shall be had to the
assets of other Series issued by the Trust or the Limited Owners’ personal
property for the satisfaction of any obligation or claim hereunder.

(d) Subordination Agreement. The Trading Advisor agrees and consents (the
“Consent”) to look solely to the Managing Owner and each Series for which
trading advisory services are being performed by the Trading Advisor (the
“Contracting Series”) and assets (the “Contracting Series Assets”) of the
Contracting Series and the Managing Owner for payment of any advisory fees. The
Contracting Series Assets include only those funds and other assets that are
paid, held or distributed to the Trust on account of and for the benefit of the
Contracting Series, including, without limitation, funds delivered to the Trust
for the purchase of Units in a Series. In furtherance of the Consent, the
Trading Advisor agrees that any debts, liabilities, obligations, indebtedness,
expenses and claims of any nature and of all kinds and descriptions
(collectively, “Claims”) incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing arising
from, related to or in connection with the Trust and its assets and the
Contracting Series and the Contracting Series Assets, shall be subject to the
following limitations:

(1) Subordination of certain claims and rights.

(i) except as set forth below, the Claims, if any, of the Trading Advisor (the
“Subordinated Claims”) shall be expressly subordinate and junior in right of
payment to any and all other Claims against the Trust and any Series thereof,
and any of their respective assets, which may arise as a matter of law or
pursuant to any contract; provided, however, that the Trading Advisor’s Claims
(if any) against the Contracting Series shall not be considered Subordinated
Claims with respect to enforcement against and distribution and repayment from
the Contracting

 

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Series, the Contracting Series Assets and the Managing Owner and its assets; and
provided further that the Trading Advisor’s valid Claims, if any, against the
Contracting Series shall be pari passu and equal in right of repayment and
distribution with all other valid Claims against the Contracting Series and
(ii) the Trading Advisor will not take, demand or receive from any Series or the
Trust or any of their respective assets (other than the Contracting Series, the
Contracting Series Assets and the Managing Owner and its assets) any payment for
the Subordinated Claims;

(2) the Claims of the Trading Advisor with respect to the Contracting Series
shall only be asserted and enforceable against the Contracting Series, the
Contracting Series Assets and the Managing Owner and its assets; and such Claims
shall not be asserted or enforceable for any reason whatsoever against any other
Series, the Trust generally or any of their respective assets;

(3) if the Claims of the Trading Advisor against the Contracting Series or the
Trust are secured in whole or in part, the Trading Advisor hereby waives (under
section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. S 1111(b)) any right to have
any deficiency Claims (which deficiency Claims may arise in the event such
security is inadequate to satisfy such Claims) treated as unsecured Claims
against the Trust or any Series (other than the Contracting Series), as the case
may be;

(4) in furtherance of the foregoing, if and to the extent that the Trading
Advisor receives monies in connection with the Subordinated Claims from a Series
or the Trust (or their respective assets), other than the Contracting Series,
the Contracting Series Assets and the Managing Owner and its assets, the Trading
Advisor shall be deemed to hold such monies in trust and shall promptly remit
such monies to the Series or the Trust that paid such amounts for distribution
by the Series or the Trust in accordance with the terms hereof; and

(5) the foregoing Consent shall apply at all times notwithstanding that the
Claims are satisfied, and notwithstanding that the agreements in respect of such
Claims are terminated, rescinded or canceled.

 

4. Obligations of the Trust, the Managing Owner, the Trading Company and the
Trading Advisor.

(a) The Registration Statement and Prospectus. Each of the Trust and the
Managing Owner agrees to cooperate and use its good faith best efforts in
connection with (i) the preparation by the Trust of the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus (and any amendments or supplements thereto); (ii) the filing
of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (and any amendments or
supplements thereto) with such governmental and self-regulatory authorities as
the Managing Owner deems appropriate for the registration and sale of the Units
and the taking of such other actions not inconsistent with this Agreement as the
Managing Owner may determine to be necessary or advisable in order to make the
proposed offer and sale of Units lawful in any jurisdiction; and (iii) causing
the Registration Statement (and any amendment thereto) to become effective under
the 1933 Act and the Blue Sky securities laws of such jurisdictions as the
Managing Owner may deem appropriate. The Trading Advisor agrees to make all
necessary disclosures regarding itself, its principals, trading performance,
Trading Approach, customer accounts (other than the names of customers, unless
such disclosure is required by law or regulation) and otherwise as may be
required, in the reasonable judgment of the Managing Owner, to be made in the
Registration Statement and Prospectus and in applications to any such
jurisdictions. No description of, or other information relating to, the Trading
Advisor may be distributed by the Managing Owner without the prior written
consent of the Trading Advisor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. If any event or circumstance occurs as a result of which it becomes
necessary, in the judgment of the Managing Owner to amend the Registration
Statement in order to make the Registration Statement not materially misleading
or to amend or to supplement the Prospectus in order to make the Prospectus not
materially misleading in light of the circumstances existing at the time it is
delivered to a subscriber, or if it is otherwise necessary in order to permit
the Trust to continue to offer its Units subsequent to the Initial Offering
Period subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Trading
Advisor will furnish such information with respect to itself and its principals,
as well as its Trading Approach and Past Performance History as the Managing
Owner may reasonably request, and will cooperate to the extent reasonably
necessary in the preparation of any required amendments or supplements to the
Registration Statement and/or the Prospectus.

(b) Trading Advisor Not A Promoter. The parties acknowledge that the Trading
Advisor has not been, either alone or in conjunction with the Selling Agents or
their affiliates, an organizer or promoter of the Trust.

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c) Filings. The Trust may at any time determine not to file the Registration
Statement with the SEC or withdraw the Registration Statement from the SEC or
any other governmental or self-regulatory authority with which it is filed or
otherwise terminate the Registration Statement or the offering of Units. Upon
any such withdrawal or termination, or if the “minimum” Units of the applicable
Series required to be sold pursuant to the Prospectus is not sold, this
Agreement shall terminate and, except for the obligations set forth in
Section 2, neither the Trust, the Trading Company nor the Managing Owner shall
have any obligations to the Trading Advisor with respect to this Agreement; nor
shall the Trading Advisor have any obligations to the Trust, the Trading Company
or the Managing Owner with respect to this Agreement.

 

5. Trading Advisor’s Closing Obligations.

On or prior to the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) with respect to the
initial offering of the Trust with respect to the applicable Series of Units

applicable Series of Units (each a “Subsequent Closing Date”), the Trading
Advisor shall deliver or cause to be delivered, at the expense of the Trading

affiliates, controlling persons, shareholders, directors, officers or employees
of any of the foregoing, or with respect to the Trading Approach or Past

deemed to be an independent contractor with respect to the Trust, the Managing
Owner, the Trading Company and each other commodity trading advisor that may in
the future provide commodity trading advisory services to the Trust, other
trading companies and the Selling Agents, and shall, unless otherwise expressly
authorized, have no authority to act for or to represent the Trust, the Trading
Company, the Managing Owner, any other commodity trading advisor or the Selling
Agents in any way or otherwise be deemed to be a general agent, joint venturer
or partner of the Trust, the Trading Company, the Managing Owner, any other
commodity trading advisor or the Selling Agents, or in any way be responsible
for the acts or omissions of the Trust, the Trading Company, the Managing Owner,
any other commodity trading advisor or the Selling Agents as long as it is
acting independently of such persons.

(b) Unauthorized Activities. Without limiting the obligations of the Trust set
forth under this Agreement, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require
the Trust to take any action contrary to its Trust Agreement or Certificate of
Trust or any applicable statute, regulation or rule of any exchange or
self-regulatory organization.

(c) Purchase of Units. Any of the Trading Advisor, its principals, and employees
may, in their discretion, purchase Units in the Trust.

(d) Confidentiality. The Trust, the Trading Company and the Managing Owner
acknowledge that the Trading Approach of the Trading Advisor is the confidential
property of the Trading Advisor. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the
Trading Advisor to disclose the confidential or proprietary details of its
Trading Approach. The Trust, the Trading Company and the Managing Owner further
agree that they will keep confidential and will not disseminate the Trading
Advisor’s trading advice to the Trading Company, except as, and to the extent
that, it may be determined by the Managing Owner to be (i) necessary for the
monitoring of the business of the Trading Company and the Trust, including the
performance of brokerage services by the Trading Company’s commodity broker(s)
or (ii) expressly required by any law, statute, rule, regulation or order, the
request of any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory agency, organization,
exchange or other body or valid legal process. The Trust, the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trading Company and the Managing Owner further agree that they shall not copy,
disclose, misuse, misappropriate or reverse engineer or otherwise appropriate or
make use of in any manner the investment and trading strategies, systems,
algorithms, models, techniques, methods, policies, programs and analyses
previously, currently or hereafter used by the Trading Advisor in the conduct of
its business including all data, details, components, specifications, codes,
formulae, know-how (technical or otherwise), electronic data processing systems,
computer software programs and computer hardware systems relating to the
foregoing, and all embodiments, articulations, applications, expressions and
reproductions of any of the foregoing including, without limitation, documents,
notes, print-outs, work papers, charts, diskettes, tapes and manuals. The
provisions of this Section 7(d) shall survive the termination or the expiration
of this Agreement.

 

8. Commodity Broker.

All Commodities trades for the accounts of the Trading Company and the Trust
shall be made through such commodity broker or brokers as the Managing Owner
directs or otherwise as may be agreed upon in accordance with such order
execution procedures as are agreed upon between the Trading Advisor and the
Managing Owner. The Trading Advisor shall not be responsible for determining
that any such bank or broker used in connection with any Commodities
transactions meets the financial requirements or standards imposed by the
Trust’s Trading Policies and Limitations. At the present time it is contemplated
that the Trust and the Trading Company will execute and clear all Commodities
trades through the Clearing Brokers. The Trading Advisor may, however, with the
consent of the Managing Owner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
execute transactions at such other broker(s), and upon such terms and
conditions, as the Trading Advisor and the Managing Owner agree if such
broker(s) agree to “give up” all such transactions to the Clearing Brokers for
clearance. To the extent that the Trading Company determines to utilize a broker
or brokers other than the Clearing Brokers, it will notify the Trading Advisor.

 

9. Fees.

(a) In consideration of and in compensation for the performance of the Trading
Advisor’s services under this Agreement, the Trading Advisor shall receive from
the Managing Owner a management fee (the “Management Fee”) and an incentive fee
(the “Incentive Fee”) as set forth on Exhibit D hereto.

(b) Timing of Payment. Management Fees and Incentive Fees shall be paid within
twenty (20) Business Days following the end of the period for which they are
payable. If an Incentive Fee shall have been paid by the Managing Owner to the
Trading Advisor in respect of any calendar quarter and the Trading Advisor shall
incur subsequent losses in trading on behalf of the Trading Company, the Trading
Advisor shall nevertheless be entitled to retain amounts previously paid to it
in respect of New High Net Trading Profits.

(c) Fee Data. The Trading Advisor will be provided by the Managing Owner with
the data used by the Managing Owner to compute the foregoing fees within twenty
(20) Business Days of the end of the relevant period.

(d) Third Party Payments. Neither the Trading Advisor, nor any of its Principals
or Affiliates shall receive any commissions, compensation, remuneration or
payments whatsoever from any Clearing Broker with which the Trading Company
carries an account for transactions executed in the Trading Company’s account.

 

10. Term and Termination.

(a) Term. This Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and, unless sooner
terminated, shall continue in effect for twelve full months following the date
hereof (the “Initial Term”). After the expiration of the Initial Term, unless
this Agreement is terminated pursuant to sections (b), (c) or (d) of this
Section 10, this Agreement shall be renewed automatically on the same terms and
conditions set forth herein for successive additional one-year terms, each of
which shall commence on the first day of the month subsequent to the conclusion
of the preceding twelve (12) month term. The automatic renewal(s) set forth in
the preceding sentence hereof shall not be affected by (i) any reallocation of
the Allocated Assets away from the Trading Advisor pursuant to this Agreement,
or (ii) the retention of Other Advisors following a reallocation, or otherwise.

 

9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) Automatic Termination. This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the
event that the Trust is terminated. In addition, this Agreement shall terminate
automatically in the event that the Allocated Assets declines as of the end of
any Business Day by 50% or more from the Allocated Assets (i) as of the first
day of this Agreement, or (ii) as of the first day of any calendar year, as
adjusted on an ongoing basis by (A) any decline(s) in the Allocated Assets
caused by distributions, exchanges, redemptions, permitted reallocations, and
withdrawals, and (B) additions to the Allocated Assets caused by additional
allocations of the Trust Estate to the Trading Advisor’s management based on
sales of additional Units of the applicable Series.

(c) Optional Termination Right of Trust and Trading Company. This Agreement may
be terminated at any time at the election of the Managing Owner in its sole
discretion upon at least one (1) day’s prior written notice to the Trading
Advisor. The Managing Owner will use its best efforts to cause any termination
to occur as of a month-end. This Agreement also may be terminated upon prior
written notice, appropriate under the circumstances, to the Trading Advisor in
the event that: (i) the Managing Owner determines in good faith following
consultation appropriate under the circumstances with the Trading Advisor that
the Trading Advisor is unable to use its agreed upon Trading Approach to any
material extent, as such Trading Approach may be refined or modified in the
future in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the benefit of the
Trust; (ii) the Trading Advisor’s registration as a commodity trading advisor
under the CE Act, or membership as a commodity trading advisor with the NFA is
revoked, suspended, terminated or not renewed; (iii) the Managing Owner
determines in good faith following consultation appropriate under the
circumstances with the Trading Advisor that the Trading Advisor has failed to
conform, and after receipt of written notice, continues to fail to conform in
any material respect, to (A) any of the Trust’s Trading Policies and
Limitations, or (B) the Trading Approach; (iv) there is an unauthorized
assignment of this Agreement by the Trading Advisor; (v) the Trading Advisor
dissolves, merges or consolidates with another entity or sells a substantial
portion of its assets, any portion of its Trading Approach utilized by the Trust
or its business goodwill, in each instance without the consent of the Managing
Owner; (vi) any of the key principals listed on Exhibit E is not in control of
the Trading Advisor’s trading activities for the Trading Company; (vii) the
Trading Advisor becomes bankrupt (admitted or decreed) or insolvent, (viii) for
any other reason, the Managing Owner determines in good faith that such
termination is essential for the protection of the Trust, the Trading Company
and the applicable Series of Units, including, without limitation a good faith
determination by the Managing Owner that the Trading Advisor has breached a
material obligation to the Trust or the Trading Company under this Agreement
relating to the trading of the Allocated Assets.

(d) Optional Termination Right of Trading Advisor. The Trading Advisor shall
have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time upon ten (10) days
written notice to each of the Trust, the Trading Company and the Managing Owner,
appropriate under the circumstances, in the event (i) of the receipt by the
Trading Advisor of an opinion of independent counsel satisfactory to the Trading
Advisor and the Trust that by reason of the Trading Advisor’s activities with
respect to the Trust and the Trading Company, it is required to register as an
investment adviser under the Advisers Act or under the laws of any state and it
is not so registered; (ii) that the registration of the Managing Owner as a
commodity pool operator under the CE Act, or its NFA membership in such
capacity, is revoked, suspended, terminated or not renewed; (iii) the Managing
Owner imposes additional trading limitation(s) pursuant to Section 1 of this
Agreement which the Trading Advisor does not agree to follow in its management
of the Allocated Assets, or the Managing Owner overrides trading instructions of
the Trading Advisor or does not consent to a material change to the Trading
Approach requested by the Trading Advisor; (iv) if the amount of the Allocated
Assets decreases to less than $[XX] million as the result of redemptions,
reallocations or extraordinary expenses, but not trading losses, as of the close
of business on any Business Day; (v) the Managing Owner elects (pursuant to
Section 1 of this Agreement) to have the Trading Advisor use a different Trading
Approach in the Trading Advisor’s management of Trust assets from that which the
Trading Advisor is then using to manage such assets and the Trading Advisor
objects to using such different Trading Approach; (vi) there is an unauthorized
assignment of this Agreement by the Trust, the Trading Company or the Managing
Owner; (vii) there is a material breach of this Agreement by the Trust, the
Trading Company and/or the Managing Owner after giving written notice to the
Managing Owner which identifies such breach and such material breach has not
been cured within 10 days following receipt of such notice by the Managing
Owner; or (viii) other good cause is shown and the written consent of the
Managing Owner is obtained (which shall not be withheld unreasonably). In
addition, after the expiration of the Initial Term, the Trading Advisor may
terminate this Agreement as of any calendar quarter end upon 90 days’ prior
written notice to the Managing Owner.

 

10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(e) Termination Fees. In the event that this Agreement is terminated with
respect to, or by, the Trading Advisor pursuant to this Section 10 or the
Managing Owner allocates the Trust’s assets to Other Advisors, the Trading
Advisor shall be entitled to, and the Trust shall pay, the Management Fee and
the Incentive Fee, if any, which shall be computed (i) with respect to the
Management Fee, on a pro rata basis, based upon the portion of the month for
which the Trading Advisor had the Allocated Assets under management, and
(ii) with respect to the Incentive Fee, if any, as if the effective date of
termination was the last day of the then current calendar quarter. The rights of
the Trading Advisor to fees earned through the earlier to occur of the date of
expiration or termination shall survive this Agreement until satisfied.

(f) Termination and the Prospectus. In the event of termination of this
Agreement, the Prospectus and marketing materials mentioning the Trading Advisor
shall be amended as promptly as possible.

 

11. Liquidation of Positions.

The Trading Advisor agrees to liquidate open positions in the amount that the
Managing Owner informs the Trading Advisor, in writing via telecopy or other
equivalent means, that the Managing Owner considers necessary or advisable to
liquidate in order to (i) effect any termination or reallocation pursuant to
Sections 1 or 10, respectively, or (ii) fund its pro rata share of any
redemption, exchange, distribution, Trading Company expense or Trust expense.
The Managing Owner shall not, however, have authority to instruct the Trading
Advisor as to which specific open positions to liquidate, except as provided in
Section 1 hereof. The Managing Owner shall provide the Trading Advisor with such
reasonable prior notice of such liquidation as is practicable under the
circumstances and will endeavor to provide at least one (1) days’ prior notice.
In the event that losses incurred by the Trading Advisor exceed the amount of
the Allocated Assets, the Managing Owner agrees to cover such excess losses from
its assets, but in no event from the assets of the other Series issued by the
Trust.

 

12. Other Accounts of the Trading Advisor.

(a) Management of Other Accounts. Subject to section (c) of this Section 12, the
Trading Advisor shall be free to manage and trade accounts for other investors
(including other public and private commodity pools) during the term of this
Agreement and to use the same or other information and Trading Approach utilized
in the performance of services for the Trading Company and the Trust for such
other accounts so long as the Trading Advisor’s ability to carry out its
obligations and duties to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement is not materially
impaired thereby. In addition, the Trading Advisor and its Principals and
Affiliates also will be permitted to trade in Commodities using the Trading
Approach or otherwise for their own accounts, so long as the Trading Advisor’s
ability to carry out its obligations and duties to the Trading Company and the
Trust pursuant to this Agreement is not materially impaired thereby.

(b) Acceptance of Additional Capital. Furthermore, so long as the Trading
Advisor is performing services for the Trust and the Trading Company, it agrees
that it will not accept additional capital for management in the Commodities
markets if doing so would have a reasonable likelihood of resulting in the
Trading Advisor having to modify materially its agreed upon Trading Approach
being used for the Trust and the Trading Company in a manner which might
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Trust or the
Trading Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is
understood that this section shall not prohibit the acceptance of additional
capital, which acceptance requires only routine adjustments to trading patterns
in order to comply with speculative position limits or daily trading limits.

(c) Equitable Treatment of Accounts. The Trading Advisor agrees, in its
management of accounts other than the account of the Trading Company and the
Trust, that it will not knowingly or deliberately favor on an overall basis any
other account managed or controlled by it or any of its Principals or Affiliates
(in whole or in part) over the Trading Company or the Trust. The preceding
sentence shall not be interpreted to preclude (i) the Trading Advisor from
charging another client fees which differ from the fees to be paid to it
hereunder, or (ii) an adjustment by the Trading Advisor in the implementation of
any agreed upon Trading Approach in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 1 hereof which is undertaken by the Trading Advisor in good faith in
order to accommodate additional accounts. The Trading Advisor, upon reasonable
request and receipt of adequate assurances of confidentiality, shall provide the
Managing Owner with an explanation of the differences, if any, in performance
between the Trading Company and the Trust and any other similar account pursuant
to the same Trading Approach for which the Trading Advisor or any of its
Principals or Affiliates acts as a commodity trading advisor (in whole or in
part).

 

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d) Inspection of Records. Upon the reasonable request of, and upon reasonable
notice from, the Managing Owner, the Trading Advisor shall permit the Managing
Owner to review at the Trading Advisor’s offices during normal business hours
such trading records as it reasonably may request for the purpose of confirming
that the Trading Company and the Trust have been treated equitably on an overall
basis with respect to advice rendered during the term of this Agreement by the
Trading Advisor for other accounts managed by the Trading Advisor, which the
parties acknowledge to mean that the Managing Owner may inspect, subject to such
restrictions as the Trading Advisor may reasonably deem necessary or advisable
so as to preserve the confidentiality of proprietary information and the
identity of its clients, all trading records of the Trading Advisor as it
reasonably may request during normal business hours. The Trading Advisor may, in
its discretion, withhold from any such report or inspection the identity of the
client for whom any such account is maintained and in any event, the Trust and
the Managing Owner shall keep all such information obtained by them from the
Trading Advisor confidential.

 

13. Speculative Position Limits.

If, at any time during the term of this Agreement, it appears to the Trading
Advisor that it may be required to aggregate the Trading Company’s Commodities
positions with the positions of any other accounts it or its principals own or
control for purposes of applying the speculative position limits of the CFTC,
any exchange, self-regulatory body, or governmental authority, the Trading
Advisor promptly will notify the Managing Owner if the Trading Company’s
positions under its management are included in an aggregate amount which equals
or exceeds the applicable speculative limit. The Trading Advisor agrees that, if
its trading recommendations pursuant to its agreed upon Trading Approach are
altered because of the potential application of speculative position limits, the
Trading Advisor will modify its trading instructions to the Trading Company and
its other accounts in a good faith effort to achieve an equitable treatment of
all accounts; to wit, the Trading Advisor will liquidate Commodities positions
and/or limit the taking of new positions in all accounts it manages, including
the Trading Company, as nearly as possible in proportion to the number of
contracts of the relevant market that would otherwise be held by the respective
accounts to the extent necessary to comply with applicable speculative position
limits. The Trading Advisor presently believes that its Trading Approach for the
management of the Trading Company’s account can be implemented for the benefit
of the Trading Company notwithstanding the possibility that, from time to time,
speculative position limits may become applicable.

 

14. Redemptions, Distributions, Reallocations and Additional Allocations.

(a) Notice. The Managing Owner will use its best efforts to give the Trading
Advisor at least one (1) Business Day’s prior notice of any proposed
redemptions, exchanges, distributions, reallocations, additional allocations, or
withdrawals.

(b) Allocations. Redemptions, exchanges, withdrawals, and distributions of Units
of the applicable Series shall be charged against Allocated Assets.

 

15. Brokerage Confirmations and Reports.

The Managing Owner will instruct the Clearing Brokers to furnish the Trading
Advisor with copies of all trade confirmations, daily equity runs, and monthly
trading statements relating to the Allocated Assets. The Trading Advisor will
maintain records and will monitor all open positions relating thereto; provided,
however, that the Trading Advisor shall not be responsible for any errors by the
Clearing Brokers or any other brokers appointed pursuant to Section 8. The
Managing Owner also will furnish the Trading Advisor with a copy of the form of
all reports, including but not limited to, monthly, quarterly and annual
reports, sent to the Limited Owners, and copies of all reports filed with the
SEC, the CFTC and the NFA. The Trading Advisor shall, at the Managing Owner’s
request, make a good faith effort to provide the Managing Owner with copies of
all trade confirmations, daily equity runs, monthly trading reports or other
reports sent to the Trading Advisor by the Clearing Brokers regarding the Trust
and the Trading Company, and in the Trading Advisor’s possession or control, as
the Managing Owner deems appropriate, if the Managing Owner cannot obtain such
copies on its own behalf. Upon request, the Managing Owner will provide the
Trading Advisor with accurate information with respect to the Allocated Assets.

TRADING LIMITATIONS AND POLICIES

The following limitations and policies are applicable to assets representing the
Allocated Assets of the Trust as a whole and at the outset to the Trading
Advisor individually; since the Trading Advisor initially will manage 100% of
the Allocated Assets, such application of the limitations and policies is
identical initially for the Allocated Assets of the Trust and the Trading
Advisor. The Trading Advisor sometimes may be prohibited from taking positions
for the Allocated Assets which it would otherwise acquire due to the need to
comply with these limitations and policies. The Managing Owner will monitor
compliance with the trading limitations and policies set forth below, and it may
impose additional restrictions (through modification of such limitations and
policies) upon the trading activities of the Trading Advisor, as it, in good
faith, deems appropriate in the best interests of the applicable Series of Units
of the Trust, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

The Managing Owner will not approve a material change in the following trading
limitations and policies without obtaining the prior written approval of Limited
Owners owning more than 50% of the applicable Series of Units. The Managing
Owner may, however, impose additional trading limitations on the trading
activities of the applicable Series of Units of the Trust without obtaining such
approval if the Managing Owner determines such additional limitations to be
necessary in the best interests of the applicable Series of Units of the Trust.

Trading Limitations

The [_] Series Units of the Trust will not: (i) engage in pyramiding its
Commodities positions (i.e., use unrealized profits on existing positions to
provide margin for the acquisition of additional positions in the same or a
related Commodity), but may take into account open trading equity on existing
positions in determining generally whether to acquire additional Commodities
positions; (ii) borrow or loan money (except with respect to the initiation or
maintenance of Commodities positions or obtaining lines of credit for the
trading of forward currency contracts; provided, however, that the [_] Series
Units of the Trust is prohibited from incurring any indebtedness on a
non–recourse basis); (iii) permit rebates to be received by the Managing Owner
or its affiliates, or permit the Managing Owner or any affiliate to engage in
any reciprocal business arrangements which would circumvent the foregoing
prohibition; (iv) permit the Trading Advisor to share in any portion of the
commodity brokerage fees paid by the [_] Series Units of the Trust;
(v) commingle its assets, except as permitted by law; or (vi) permit the
churning of its Commodity accounts.

The [_] Series Units of the Trust will conform in all respects to the rules,
regulations and guidelines of the markets on which its trades are executed.

Trading Policies

Subject to the foregoing limitations, the Trading Advisor has agreed to abide by
the trading policies of the [_] Series Units of the Trust, which currently are
as follows:

(1) The Allocated Assets will generally be invested in contracts which are
traded in sufficient volume which, at the time such trades are initiated, are
reasonably expected to permit entering and liquidating positions.

(2) Stop or limit orders may, in the Trading Advisor’s discretion, be given with
respect to initiating or liquidating positions in order to attempt to limit
losses or secure profits. If stop or limit orders are used, no assurance can be
given, however, that the Clearing Brokers will be able to liquidate a position
at a specified stop or limit order price, due to either the volatility of the
market or the inability to trade because of market limitations.

(3) The Trading Advisor generally will not initiate an open position in a
futures contract (other than a cash settlement contract) during any delivery
month in that contract, except when required by exchange rules, law or exigent
market circumstances. This policy does not apply to forward and cash market
transactions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(4) The Trading Advisor, on behalf of the Trading Company, may occasionally make
or accept delivery of a commodity including, without limitation, currencies. The
Trading Advisor also may engage in “EFP” transactions (i.e., an exchange of
futures for physical transaction, as permitted on the relevant exchange)
involving currencies and metals and other commodities. Provided that the Trading
Company constitutes an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined
in Section 1(a)(12) of the CE Act), the Trading Advisor may engage in swap
transactions on behalf of the Trading Company.

 

(5) The Trading Advisor may, from time to time, employ trading techniques such
as spreads, straddles and conversions.

(6) The Trading Advisor will not initiate open futures or option positions which
would result in net long or short positions requiring as margin or premium for
outstanding positions in excess of 15% of the Allocated Assets for any one
commodity, or in excess of 66 % of the Allocated Assets for all commodities
combined. Under certain market conditions, such as an inability to liquidate
open commodities positions because of daily price fluctuations, the Managing
Owner may be required to commit Allocated Assets as margin in excess of the
foregoing limits and in such case the Managing Owner will cause the Trading
Advisor to reduce its open futures and option positions to comply to these
limits before initiating new commodities positions.

(7) To the extent the Trading Advisor engages in transactions in forward
currency contracts other than with or through the Clearing Brokers, the Trading
Advisor will only engage in such transactions with or through a bank which as of
the end of its last fiscal year had an aggregate balance in its capital, surplus
and related accounts of at least $100,000,000, as shown by its published
financial statements for such year, and through other broker–dealer firms with
an aggregate balance in its capital, surplus and related accounts of at least
$50,000,000. If transactions are effected for the Trading Company in the forward
markets, the only forward markets that will be permitted to be utilized are the
interbank foreign currency markets and the London Metal Exchange. The
utilization of other forward markets requires the consent of the Managing Owner.

EXHIBIT D

FEE SCHEDULE

(a)(1) The Managing Owner shall pay to the Trading Advisor a monthly Management
Fee equal to 1/12th of [XX] percent of the Net Asset Value of the Series being
managed by the Trading Advisor (approximately [XX]% annually). For purposes of
calculating the Management Fee payable to the Trading Advisor, the Net Asset
Value of the Series being managed by the Trading Advisor shall be determined
before reduction for any Management Fees accrued, Incentive Fees accrued or
extraordinary fees and expenses accrued as of such month-end and before giving
effect to any capital contributions made and any distributions or redemptions
accrued during or as of such month-end. In the event that a Limited Owner
redeems some or all of its Units or exchanges some or all of its Units for Units
in another Series, the Trust is dissolved or terminated or this Agreement is
terminated as of any date other than the last day of a calendar month, the
Management Fee for such month shall be paid on a pro-rated basis based on the
ratio that the number of days in the calendar month through the date of such
event bears to the total number of days in the calendar month.

(2) “Net Asset Value of a Series” means the total assets of a Series including,
but not limited to, all cash and cash equivalents (valued at cost plus accrued
interest and amortization of original issue discount) less total liabilities of
the Series, each determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States, consistently applied under the accrual method
of accounting (“GAAP”), including, but not limited to, the extent specifically
set forth below:

(i) Net Asset Value of a Series shall include any unrealized profit or loss on
open Commodities positions, and any other credit or debit accruing to the Series
but unpaid or not received by the Series.

(ii) All open commodity futures contracts and options traded on a United States
exchange are calculated at their then current market value, which shall be based
upon the settlement price for that particular commodity futures contract and
option traded on the applicable United States exchange on the date with respect
to which Net Asset Value of a Series is being determined; provided, that if a
commodity futures contract or option traded on a United States exchange could
not be liquidated on such day, due to the operation of daily limits or other
rules of the exchange upon which that position is traded or otherwise, the
settlement price on the first subsequent day on which the position could be
liquidated shall be the basis for determining the market value of such position
for such day. The current market value of all open commodity futures contracts
and options traded on a non-United States exchange shall be based upon the
liquidating value for that particular commodity futures contract and option
traded on the applicable non-United States exchange on the date with respect to
which Net Asset Value of a Series is being determined; provided, that if a
commodity futures contract or option traded on a non- United States exchange
could not be liquidated on such day, due to the operation of rules of the
exchange upon which that position is traded or otherwise, the liquidating value
on the first subsequent day on which the position could be liquidated shall be
the basis for determining the market value of such position for such day. The
current market value of all open forward contracts entered into shall be the
mean between the last bid and last asked prices quoted by the bank or financial
institution which is a party to the contract on the date with respect to which
Net Asset Value of a Series is being determined; provided, that if such
quotations are not available on such date, the mean between the last bid and
asked prices on the first subsequent day on which such quotations are available
shall be the basis for determining the market value of such forward contract for
such day. The Managing Owner may in its discretion value any assets pursuant to
such other principles as it may deem fair and equitable so long as such
principles are consistent with normal industry standards.

(iii) Interest earned on a Series commodity brokerage account shall be accrued
at least daily.

(iv) The amount of any distribution made shall be a liability of the Series from
the day when the distribution is declared until it is paid.

(b)(1) The Managing Owner shall pay to the Trading Advisor an Incentive Fee of
[XX]% of “New High Net Trading Profits” (as hereinafter defined) generated by
the Trading Advisor, including realized and unrealized gains and losses thereon,
as of the close of business on the last day of each calendar quarter (the
“Incentive Measurement Date”).

(2) “New High Net Trading Profits” (for purposes of calculating the Trading
Advisor’s Incentive Fees) shall be computed as of the Incentive Measurement Date
and shall include such profits (as outlined below) since the Incentive
Measurement Date of the most recent preceding calendar quarter for which an
Incentive Fee was earned (or, with respect to the first Incentive Fee, as of the
commencement of operations) (the “Incentive Measurement Period”). New High Net
Trading Profits for any Incentive Measurement Period shall be the net profits,
if any, from the Trading Advisor’s trading during such period (including
(i) gross realized trading profit (loss) plus or minus (ii) the change in
unrealized trading profit (loss) on open positions, minus (iii) the fees charged
to the Series by the Managing Owner for brokerage commissions, exchange fees,
NFA fees, give up fees and other transaction related fees and expenses charged
in connection with the Series’ trading activities (plus 0.5% per annum FCM fee)
and an ongoing fee for certain administrative services

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(3.0% per annum), and shall be calculated after the determination of the Trading
Advisor’s Management Fee, but before deduction of any Incentive Fees payable
during the Incentive Measurement Period) minus (iv) the “Carryforward Loss” (as
defined in the next sentence), if any, as of the beginning of the Incentive
Measurement Period. If the total of items (i) through (iv), above, is negative
at the end of an Incentive Measurement Period, such amount shall be the
Carryforward Loss for the next quarter. Carryforward Losses shall (v) be
proportionately reduced to reflect reductions in Allocated Assets that have been
instructed by the Managing Owner. Such proportional reduction shall be based
upon the ratio that the reduction of assets allocated away from, the Trading
Advisor bears to the then current amount of Allocated Assets which the Trading
Advisor is managing prior to giving effect to such reduction in the Allocated
Assets. If Allocated Assets previously allocated to the Trading Advisor are
reallocated to the Trading Advisor then the Trading Advisor’s Carryforward
Losses will be adjusted proportionately to reflect the Carryforward Losses
associated with the assets which had previously been withdrawn from the
commodity trading advisor. New High Net Trading Profits shall not include
interest earned or credited. New High Net Trading Profits shall be generated
only to the extent that cumulative New High Net Trading Profits exceed the
highest level of cumulative New High Net Trading Profits achieved by such Series
as of a previous Incentive Measurement Date. Except as set forth below, net
losses after proportional reduction under clause (v) above from prior quarters
must be recouped before New High Net Trading Profits can again be generated. If
a withdrawal or distribution occurs at any date that is not an Incentive
Measurement Date, the date of the withdrawal or distribution shall be treated as
if it were an Incentive Measurement Date, but any Incentive Fee accrued in
respect of the withdrawn assets on such date shall not be paid to the Trading
Advisor until the next scheduled Incentive Measurement Date. New High Net
Trading Profits for an Incentive Measurement Period shall exclude capital
contributions to the Series in an Incentive Measurement Period, distributions or
redemptions payable by the Series during an Incentive Measurement Period, as
well as losses, if any, associated with redemptions during the Incentive
Measurement Period and prior to the Incentive Measurement Date. In calculating
New High Net Trading Profits, Incentive Fees paid for a previous Incentive
Measurement Period shall not reduce cumulative New High Net Trading Profits in
subsequent periods.
