                              MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

                  AGREEMENT made as of the 1st day of March, 2001 among SMITH
BARNEY FUTURES MANAGEMENT LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("SBFM" or
the "General Partner"), SALOMON SMITH BARNEY DIVERSIFIED 2000 FUTURES FUND L.P.,
a New York limited partnership (the "Partnership") and GRAHAM CAPITAL
MANAGEMENT, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Advisor").

                              W I T N E S S E T H :
                               - - - - - - - - - -

                  WHEREAS, SBFM is the general partner of Salomon Smith Barney
Diversified 2000 Futures Fund L.P., a limited partnership organized for the
purpose of speculative trading of commodity interests, including futures
contracts, options and forward contracts with the objective of achieving
substantial capital appreciation; and

                  WHEREAS, the Limited Partnership Agreement establishing the
Partnership (the "Limited Partnership Agreement") permits SBFM to delegate to
one or more commodity trading advisors SBFM's authority to make trading
decisions for the Partnership; and

                  WHEREAS, the Advisor is registered as a commodity trading
advisor with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") and is a member
of the National Futures Association ("NFA"); and

                  WHEREAS, SBFM is registered as a commodity pool operator with
the CFTC and is a member of the NFA; and

                  WHEREAS, SBFM, the Partnership and the Advisor wish to enter
into this Agreement in order to set forth the terms and conditions upon which
the Advisor will render and implement advisory services in connection with the
conduct by the Partnership of its commodity trading activities during the term
of this Agreement;

                  NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

                  1. DUTIES OF THE ADVISOR. (a) For the period and on the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, the Advisor shall have sole authority and
responsibility, as one of the Partnership's agents and attorneys-in-fact, for
directing the trading of assets and funds of the Partnership allocated to it
from time to time by the General Partner in commodity interests, including
commodity futures contracts, options and forward contracts. All such trading on
behalf of the Partnership shall be in accordance with the trading strategies and
trading policies set forth in the Prospectus and Disclosure Document dated
January 31, 2000, as supplemented October 31, 2000 and March 1, 2001 (the
"Prospectus"), and as such trading policies may be changed from time to time
upon receipt by the Advisor of prior written notice of such change and pursuant
to the trading strategy selected by SBFM to be utilized by the Advisor in
managing the Partnership's assets. SBFM has initially selected the Advisor's
Global Diversified Program at
<PAGE>   2
150% of the leverage normally applied by the Advisor (the "Program") to manage
the Partnership's assets allocated to it. Any open positions or other
investments at the time of receipt of such notice of a change in trading policy
shall not be deemed to violate the changed policy and shall be closed or sold in
the ordinary course of trading. The Advisor may not deviate from the trading
policies set forth in the Prospectus without the prior written consent of the
Partnership given by SBFM. The Advisor makes no representation or warranty that
the trading to be directed by it for the Partnership will be profitable or will
not incur losses. SBFM and the Advisor each acknowledge that the descriptions of
the Advisor in the Prospectus are in draft form as of the time of the signing of
this Agreement.

                  (b) SBFM acknowledges receipt of the Advisor's Disclosure
Document dated January 19, 2001, (the "Disclosure Document") as filed with the
NFA and CFTC. All trades made by the Advisor for the account of the Partnership
shall be made through such commodity broker or brokers as SBFM shall direct, and
the Advisor shall have no authority or responsibility for selecting or
supervising any such broker in connection with the execution, clearance or
confirmation of transactions for the Partnership or for the negotiation of
brokerage rates charged therefor. However, the Advisor, with the prior written
permission (by either original or fax copy) of SBFM, may direct any and all
trades in commodity futures and options to a futures commission merchant or
independent floor broker it chooses for execution with instructions to give-up
the trades to the broker designated by SBFM, provided that the futures
commission merchant or independent floor broker and any give-up or floor
brokerage fees are approved in advance by SBFM. All give-up or similar fees
relating to the foregoing shall be paid by the Partnership after all parties
have executed the relevant give-up agreements (by either original or fax copy).

                  (c) The initial allocation of the Partnership's assets to the
Advisor will be made to the Advisor's Program. In the event the Advisor wishes
to use a trading system or methodology other than or in addition to the system
or methodology outlined in the description of the Program in the Prospectus in
connection with its trading for the Partnership, either in whole or in part, it
may not do so unless the Advisor gives SBFM prior written notice of its
intention to utilize such different trading system or methodology and SBFM
consents thereto in writing. In addition, the Advisor will provide five days'
prior written notice to SBFM of any change in the trading system or methodology
to be utilized for the Partnership which the Advisor deems material. If the
Advisor deems such change in system or methodology or in markets traded to be
material, the changed system or methodology or markets traded will not be
utilized for the Partnership without the prior written consent of SBFM. In
addition, the Advisor will notify SBFM of any changes to the trading system or
methodology that would require a change in the description of the trading
strategy or methods described in the Prospectus. Further, the Advisor will
provide the Partnership with a current list of all commodity interests to be
traded for the Partnership's account and will not trade any additional commodity
interests for such account without providing notice thereof to SBFM and
receiving SBFM's written approval. The Advisor also agrees to provide SBFM, on a
monthly basis, with a written report of the assets under the Advisor's
management together with all other matters deemed by the Advisor to be material
changes to its business not previously reported to SBFM. The Advisor further
agrees that it will convert foreign currency balances (not required to margin
positions denominated in a foreign


                                       2
<PAGE>   3
currency) to U.S. dollars no less frequently than monthly. U.S. dollar
equivalents in individual foreign currencies of more than $100,000 will be
converted to U.S. dollars within one business day after such funds are no longer
needed to margin foreign positions.

                  (d) The Advisor agrees to make all material disclosures to the
Partnership regarding itself and its principals as defined in Part 4 of the
CFTC's regulations ("principals"), shareholders, directors, officers and
employees, their trading performance and general trading methods, its customer
accounts (but not the identities of or identifying information with respect to
its customers) and otherwise as are required in the reasonable judgment of SBFM
to be made in any filings required by Federal or state law or NFA rule or order.
Notwithstanding Sections 1(d) and 4(d) of this Agreement, the Advisor shall not
be required to disclose the actual trading results of proprietary accounts of
the Advisor or its principals unless SBFM reasonably determines that such
disclosure is required in order to fulfill its fiduciary obligations to the
Partnership or the reporting, filing or other obligations imposed on it by
Federal or state law or NFA rule or order. The Partnership and SBFM acknowledge
that the trading advice to be provided by the Advisor is a property right
belonging to the Advisor and that they will keep all such advice confidential.
Further, SBFM agrees to treat as confidential any results of proprietary
accounts and/or proprietary information with respect to trading systems obtained
from the Advisor.

                  (e) The Advisor understands and agrees that SBFM may designate
other trading advisors for the Partnership and apportion or reapportion to such
other trading advisors the management of an amount of Net Assets (as defined in
Section 3(b) hereof) as it shall determine in its absolute discretion. The
designation of other trading advisors and the apportionment or reapportionment
of Net Assets to any such trading advisors pursuant to this Section 1 shall
neither terminate this Agreement nor modify in any regard the respective rights
and obligations of the parties hereunder.

                  (f) SBFM may, from time to time, in its absolute discretion,
select additional trading advisors and reapportion funds among the trading
advisors for the Partnership as it deems appropriate. SBFM shall use its best
efforts to make reapportionments, if any, as of the first day of a month. The
Advisor agrees that it may be called upon at any time promptly to liquidate
positions in SBFM's sole discretion so that SBFM may reallocate the
Partnership's assets, meet margin calls on the Partnership's account, fund
redemptions, or for any other reason, except that SBFM will not require the
liquidation of specific positions by the Advisor. SBFM will use its best efforts
to give two days' prior notice to the Advisor of any reallocations or
liquidations.

                  (g) The Advisor will not be liable for trading losses in the
Partnership's account including losses caused by errors; provided, however, that
(i) the Advisor will be liable to the Partnership with respect to losses
incurred due to errors committed or caused by it or any of its principals or
employees in communicating improper trading instructions or orders to any broker
on behalf of the Partnership and (ii) the Advisor will be liable to the
Partnership with respect to losses incurred due to errors committed or caused by
any executing broker (other than any SBFM affiliate) selected by the Advisor, it
also being understood that SBFM, with the assistance of the Advisor, will first
attempt to recover such losses from the executing broker.

<PAGE>   4
                  2. INDEPENDENCE OF THE ADVISOR. For all purposes herein, the
Advisor shall be deemed to be an independent contractor and, unless otherwise
expressly provided or authorized, shall have no authority to act for or
represent the Partnership in any way and shall not be deemed an agent, promoter
or sponsor of the Partnership, SBFM, or any other trading advisor. The Advisor
shall not be responsible to the Partnership, the General Partner, any trading
advisor or any limited partners for any acts or omissions of any other trading
advisor, no longer acting as an advisor to the Partnership.

                  3. COMPENSATION. (a) In consideration of and as compensation
for all of the services to be rendered by the Advisor to the Partnership under
this Agreement, the Partnership shall pay the Advisor (i) an annual incentive
fee payable at the end of each calendar year equal to 20% of New Trading Profits
(as such term is defined below) earned by the Advisor for the Partnership and
(ii) a monthly fee for professional management services equal to 1/6 of 1% (2%
per year) of the month-end Net Assets of the Partnership allocated to the
Advisor.

                  (b) "Net Assets" shall have the meaning set forth in Paragraph
7(d)(1) of the Limited Partnership Agreement dated as of August 25, 1999, and
without regard to further amendments thereto, provided that in determining the
Net Assets of the Partnership on any date, no adjustment shall be made to
reflect any distributions, redemptions or incentive fees payable as of the date
of such determination.

                  (c) "New Trading Profits" shall mean the excess, if any, of
Net Assets managed by the Advisor at the end of the fiscal period over Net
Assets managed by the Advisor at the end of the highest previous fiscal period
or Net Assets allocated to the Advisor at the date trading commences, whichever
is higher, and as further adjusted to eliminate the effect on Net Assets
resulting from new capital contributions, redemptions, reallocations or capital
distributions, if any, made during the fiscal period, decreased by interest or
other income, not directly related to trading activity, earned on the
Partnership's assets during the fiscal period, whether the assets are held
separately or in margin accounts. Ongoing expenses will be attributed to the
Advisor based on the Advisor's proportionate share of Net Assets. Ongoing
expenses above will not include expenses of litigation not involving the
activities of the Advisor on behalf of the Partnership. Ongoing expenses will
include offering and organizational expenses of the Partnership. No incentive
fee shall be paid until the end of the first calendar year in which trading
commences by the Advisor on behalf of the Partnership, which fee shall be based
on New Trading Profits earned from the commencement of trading by the Advisor on
behalf of the Partnership through the end of such calendar year. Interest income
earned, if any, will not be taken into account in computing New Trading Profits
earned by the Advisor. If Net Assets allocated to the Advisor are reduced due to
redemptions, distributions or reallocations (net of additions), or if leverage
is reduced at SBFM's request, there will be a corresponding proportional
reduction in the related loss carryforward amount that must be recouped before
the Advisor is eligible to receive another incentive fee.

                                       4
<PAGE>   5
                  (d) Annual incentive fees and monthly management fees shall be
paid within twenty (20) business days following the end of the period, as the
case may be, for which such fee is payable. In the event of the termination of
this Agreement as of any date which shall not be the end of a fiscal year or a
calendar month, as the case may be, the annual incentive fee shall be computed
as if the effective date of termination were the last day of the then current
year and the monthly management fee shall be prorated to the effective date of
termination. If, during any month, the Partnership does not conduct business
operations or the Advisor is unable to provide the services contemplated herein
for more than two successive business days, the monthly management fee shall be
prorated by the ratio which the number of business days during which SBFM
conducted the Partnership's business operations or utilized the Advisor's
services bears in the month to the total number of business days in such month.

                  (e) The provisions of this Paragraph 3 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.


                  4. RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN OTHER ACTIVITIES. (a) The services
provided by the Advisor hereunder are not to be deemed exclusive. SBFM on its
own behalf and on behalf of the Partnership acknowledges that, subject to the
terms of this Agreement, the Advisor and its officers, directors, employees and
shareholder(s), may render advisory, consulting and management services to other
clients and accounts. The Advisor and its officers, directors, employees and
shareholder(s) shall be free to trade for their own accounts and to advise other
investors and manage other commodity accounts during the term of this Agreement
and to use the same information, computer programs and trading strategies,
programs or formulas which they obtain, produce or utilize in the performance of
services to SBFM for the Partnership. However, the Advisor represents, warrants
and agrees that it believes the rendering of such consulting, advisory and
management services to other accounts and entities will not require any material
change in the Advisor's basic trading strategies and will not affect the
capacity of the Advisor to continue to render services to SBFM for the
Partnership of the quality and nature contemplated by this Agreement.

                  (b) If, at any time during the term of this Agreement, the
Advisor is required to aggregate the Partnership's commodity positions with the
positions of any other person for purposes of applying CFTC- or exchange-imposed
speculative position limits, the Advisor agrees that it will promptly notify
SBFM if the Partnership's positions are included in an aggregate amount which
exceeds the applicable speculative position limit. The Advisor agrees that, if
its trading recommendations are altered because of the application of any
speculative position limits, it will not modify the trading instructions with
respect to the Partnership's account in such manner as to affect the Partnership
substantially disproportionately as compared with the Advisor's other accounts.
The Advisor further represents, warrants and agrees that under no circumstances
will it knowingly or deliberately use trading strategies or methods for the
Partnership that are inferior to strategies or methods employed for any other
client or account and that it will not knowingly or deliberately favor any
client or account managed by it over any other client or account in any manner,
it being acknowledged, however, that different trading strategies or methods may
be utilized for differing sizes of accounts, accounts with different


                                       5
<PAGE>   6
trading policies, accounts experiencing differing inflows or outflows of equity,
accounts which commence trading at different times, accounts which have
different portfolios or different fiscal years, accounts utilizing different
executing brokers and accounts with other differences, and that such differences
may cause divergent trading results.

                  (c) It is acknowledged that the Advisor and/or its officers,
employees, directors and shareholder(s) presently act, and it is agreed that
they may continue to act, as advisor for other accounts managed by them, and may
continue to receive compensation with respect to services for such accounts in
amounts which may be more or less than the amounts received from the
Partnership.

                  (d) The Advisor agrees that it shall make such information
available to SBFM respecting the performance of the Partnership's account as
compared to the performance of other accounts managed by the Advisor or its
principals as shall be reasonably requested by SBFM. The Advisor presently
believes and represents that existing speculative position limits will not
materially adversely affect its ability to manage the Partnership's account
given the potential size of the Partnership's account and the Advisor's and its
principals' current accounts and all proposed accounts for which they have
contracted to act as trading manager.

                  5. TERM. (a) This Agreement shall continue in effect until
June 30, 2001. SBFM may, in its sole discretion, renew this Agreement for
additional one-year periods upon notice to the Advisor not less than 30 days
prior to the expiration of the previous period. At any time during the term of
this Agreement, SBFM may terminate this Agreement at any month-end upon 30 days'
notice to the Advisor. At any time during the term of this Agreement, SBFM may
elect to immediately terminate this Agreement upon 30 days' notice to the
Advisor if (i) the Net Asset Value per Unit shall decline as of the close of
business on any day to $400 or less; (ii) the Net Assets allocated to the
Advisor (adjusted for redemptions, distributions, withdrawals or reallocations,
if any) decline by 50% or more as of the end of a trading day from such Net
Assets' previous highest value; (iii) limited partners owning at least 50% of
the outstanding Units shall vote to require SBFM to terminate this Agreement;
(iv) the Advisor fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement; (v) SBFM, in
good faith, reasonably determines that the performance of the Advisor has been
such that SBFM's fiduciary duties to the Partnership require SBFM to terminate
this Agreement; or (vi) SBFM reasonably believes that the application of
speculative position limits will substantially affect the performance of the
Partnership. At any time during the term of this Agreement, SBFM may elect
immediately to terminate this Agreement if (i) the Advisor merges, consolidates
with another entity, sells a substantial portion of its assets, or becomes
bankrupt or insolvent, (ii) Kenneth G. Tropin dies, becomes incapacitated,
leaves the employ of the Advisor, ceases to control the Advisor or is otherwise
not managing the trading programs or systems of the Advisor, or (iii) the
Advisor's registration as a commodity trading advisor with the CFTC or its
membership in the NFA or any other regulatory authority, is terminated or
suspended. This Agreement will immediately terminate upon dissolution of the
Partnership or upon cessation of trading prior to dissolution.

                  (b) The Advisor may terminate this Agreement by giving not
less than 30 days' notice to SBFM (i) in the event that the trading policies of
the Partnership as set forth in the


                                       6
<PAGE>   7
Prospectus are changed in such manner that the Advisor reasonably believes will
adversely affect the performance of its trading strategies;(ii) after June 30,
2001; or (iii) in the event that the General Partner or Partnership fails to
comply with the terms of this Agreement. The Advisor may immediately terminate
this Agreement if SBFM's registration as a commodity pool operator or its
membership in the NFA is terminated or suspended.

                  (c) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any
termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Paragraph 5 or Paragraph
1(e) shall be without penalty or liability to any party, except for any fees due
to the Advisor pursuant to Section 3 hereof.

                  6. INDEMNIFICATION. (a)(i) In any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit, or proceeding to which the 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 Partnership's assets by the Advisor or the
offering and sale of units in the Partnership, SBFM shall, subject to
subparagraph (a)(iii) of this Paragraph 6, indemnify and hold harmless the
Advisor against any loss, liability, damage, cost, expense (including, without
limitation, attorneys' and accountants' fees), judgments and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by it in connection with such
action, suit, or proceeding if the Advisor acted in good faith and in a manner
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Partnership, and provided that its conduct did not constitute negligence,
intentional misconduct, or a breach of its fiduciary obligations to the
Partnership as a commodity trading advisor, unless and only to the extent that
the court or administrative forum in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all circumstances of the case, the Advisor is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court or administrative forum
shall deem proper; and further provided that no indemnification shall be
available from the Partnership if such indemnification is prohibited by Section
16 of the Partnership Agreement. The termination of any action, suit or
proceeding by judgment, order or settlement shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the 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
Partnership.

                  (ii) To the extent that the Advisor has been successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
subparagraph (i) above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein,
SBFM shall indemnify the Advisor against the expenses (including, without
limitation, attorneys' and accountants' fees) actually and reasonably incurred
by it in connection therewith.

                  (iii) Any indemnification under subparagraph (i) above, unless
ordered by a court or administrative forum, shall be made by SBFM 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 Advisor has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in subparagraph (i) above. Such independent legal counsel shall be
selected by SBFM in a timely manner, subject to the Advisor's approval, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Advisor will be deemed to have
approved SBFM's selection unless the Advisor


                                       7
<PAGE>   8
notifies SBFM in writing, received by SBFM within five days of SBFM's
telecopying to the Advisor of the notice of SBFM's selection, that the Advisor
does not approve the selection.

                  (iv) In the event the Advisor is made a party to any claim,
dispute or litigation or otherwise incurs any loss or expense as a result of, or
in connection with, the Partnership's or SBFM's activities or claimed activities
unrelated to the Advisor, SBFM shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Advisor against any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including, without
limitation, attorneys' and accountants' fees) incurred in connection therewith.

                  (v) As used in this Paragraph 6(a), the terms "Advisor" shall
include the Advisor, its principals, officers, partners, directors, stockholders
and employees and the term "SBFM" shall include the Partnership.

                  (b)(i) The Advisor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless SBFM, the Partnership and their affiliates against any loss, liability,
damage, cost or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys' and
accountants' fees), judgments and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by them (A) as a result of the material breach of any
material representations and warranties made by the Advisor in this Agreement,
or (B) as a result of any act or omission of the Advisor relating to the
Partnership if there has been a final judicial or regulatory determination or,
in the event of a settlement of any action or proceeding with the prior written
consent of the Advisor, a written opinion of an arbitrator pursuant to Paragraph
14 hereof, to the effect that such acts or omissions violated the terms of this
Agreement in any material respect or involved negligence, bad faith,
recklessness or intentional misconduct on the part of the Advisor (except as
otherwise provided in Section 1(g)).

                  (ii) In the event SBFM, the Partnership or any of their
affiliates is made a party to any claim, dispute or litigation or otherwise
incurs any loss or expense as a result of, or in connection with, the activities
or claimed activities of the Advisor or its principals, officers, directors,
shareholder(s) or employees unrelated to SBFM's or the Partnership's business,
the Advisor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless SBFM, the Partnership or
any of their affiliates against any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense
(including, without limitation, attorneys' and accountants' fees) incurred in
connection therewith.

                  (c) In the event that a person entitled to indemnification
under this Paragraph 6 is made a party to an action, suit or 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 action, suit or proceeding which relates to the matters
for which indemnification can be made.

                  (d) None of the indemnifications contained in this Paragraph 6
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, of the party
obligated to indemnify such party.

<PAGE>   9
                  (e) The provisions of this Paragraph 6 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.

                  7.  REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS.

                  (a) The Advisor represents and warrants that:

                  (i) All references to the Advisor and its principals in the
Prospectus will, after review and approval by the Advisor, be accurate in all
material respects and as to them the Prospectus will not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact which is necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading, except that with respect to pro
forma or hypothetical performance information in the Prospectus, if any, this
representation and warranty extends only to the underlying data made available
by the Advisor for the preparation thereof and not to any hypothetical or pro
forma adjustments. Subject to such exception, all references to the Advisor and
its principals in the Prospectus will, after review and approval of such
references by the Advisor prior to the use of such Prospectus in connection with
the offering of the Partnership's units, be accurate in all material respects.

                  (ii) Any information with respect to the Advisor set forth in
the actual performance tables in the Prospectus is based on all of the customer
accounts managed on a discretionary basis by the Advisor's principals and/or the
Advisor during the period covered by such tables and required to be disclosed
therein.

                  (iii) The Advisor will be acting as a commodity trading
advisor with respect to the Partnership and not as a securities investment
adviser and is duly registered with the CFTC as a commodity trading advisor, is
a member of the NFA, and is in compliance with such other registration and
licensing requirements as shall be necessary to enable it to perform its
obligations hereunder, and agrees to maintain and renew such registrations and
licenses during the term of this Agreement.

                  (iv) The Advisor is a limited partnership duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware
and has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to provide the
services required of it hereunder.

                  (v) The Advisor will not, by acting as a commodity trading
advisor to the Partnership, breach or cause to be breached any undertaking,
agreement, contract, statute, rule or regulation to which it is a party or by
which it is bound.

                  (vi) This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Advisor and is a valid and binding agreement
enforceable in accordance with its terms.

                  (vii) At any time during the term of this Agreement that a
prospectus relating to the Units is required to be delivered in connection with
the offer and sale thereof, the Advisor agrees upon the request of SBFM to
