MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

                  AGREEMENT made as of the 1st day of February, 1999 among SMITH
BARNEY FUTURES MANAGEMENT INC., a Delaware  corporation  ("SBFM"),  SMITH BARNEY
PRINCIPAL  PLUS  FUTURES  FUND  L.P.,  a  New  York  limited   partnership  (the
"Partnership")  and FORT ORANGE CAPITAL  MANAGEMENT INC., a New York corporation
(the "Advisor").

                              W I T N E S S E T H :

                  WHEREAS, SBFM is the general partner of SMITH BARNEY PRINCIPAL
PLUS FUTURES FUND L.P., a limited  partnership  organized  with the objective to
achieve substantial capital appreciation by engaging in speculative trading of a
diversified   portfolio  of  commodity   interests  which  may  include  futures
contracts, options, forward contracts and physicals; 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  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;
<PAGE>

                  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  investment  and  reinvestment  of the  assets  and  funds of the
Partnership allocated to it by SBFM in commodity interests,  including commodity
futures contracts, options and forward contracts and physicals. All such trading
on behalf of the Partnership  shall be in accordance  with the trading  policies
set  forth  in the  Partnership's  Prospectus  dated  as of July  12,  1995  (as
supplemented,  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 _____________ 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.  The Advisor will
have no responsibility  for the management of the Partnership's  assets invested
in Zero Coupon U.S. Treasury obligations.

                  (b) SBFM  acknowledges  receipt  of the  Advisor's  Disclosure
Document dated October 1, 1998 (the "Disclosure  Document").  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  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 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  agreement (by either original or fax
copy).
<PAGE>

                  (c) The initial allocation of the Partnership's  assets to the
Advisor will be made to the Advisor's Global Strategic  Program (the "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  Disclosure
Document 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 Advisor's Disclosure Document. 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  currency) to U.S.  dollars no less
frequently than monthly.

                  (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 is not
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.
<PAGE>

                  (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>

                  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  incentive  fee
payable  quarterly  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 June 22,  1995 and
without  regard to  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.
<PAGE>

                  (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 pro rata on the Advisor's  proportionate  share of Net Assets and
shall not include management fees of the Partnership's  other advisors.  Ongoing
expenses  above will not  include  expenses  of  litigation  not  involving  the
activities of the Advisor on behalf of the Partnership. Ongoing expenses include
offering and organizational expenses of the Partnership.  No incentive fee shall
be paid until the end of the first full calendar  quarter of trading,  which fee
shall be based on New Trading  Profits earned from the  commencement  of trading
operations  by the  Partnership  through  the  end of the  first  full  calendar
quarter.  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),  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.

                  (d) Quarterly 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 calendar  quarter
or a calendar  month,  as the case may be, the quarterly  incentive fee shall be
computed as if the effective date of  termination  were the last day of the then
current  quarter  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.
<PAGE>

                  (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 or  different  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  that 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  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.
<PAGE>

                  (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,  1999.  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 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)  Daniel M. Byrnes  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.
<PAGE>

                  (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 Prospectus are changed in such manner that
the Advisor  reasonably  believes will adversely  affect the  performance of its
trading  strategies;  (ii) after June 30,  1999;  or (iii) in the event that the
General Partner or Partnership fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement.

                  (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.
<PAGE>

                  (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 it 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 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,  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)).
<PAGE>

                  (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.

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

                  7.  REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS.

                  (a) The Advisor represents and warrants that:

                  (i) All  references  to the Advisor and its  principals in the
Advisor's  Disclosure  Document are accurate in all material  respects and as to
them the Prospectus does 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 Table B in the  Prospectus  (if
applicable),  this  representation  and warranty  extends only to the underlying
data made  available by the Advisor for the  preparation  thereof and not to any

therein.

                  (iii)  The  Advisor  will be  acting  as a  commodity  trading

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

                  (iv) The  Advisor is a  corporation  duly  organized,  validly
existing  and in good  standing  under the laws of the State of New York 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,

                  (vi)  This  Agreement  has been duly and  validly  authorized,

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
provide the Partnership  with such information as shall be necessary so that, as
to the Advisor and its principals, such prospectus is accurate.

                  (b)  SBFM   represents   and   warrants  for  itself  and  the
Partnership that:

                  (i)  The   Prospectus   (as  from  time  to  time  amended  or
supplemented,  which  amendment or  supplement  is approved by the Advisor as to
descriptions of itself and its actual  performance)  does 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  the  foregoing
representation  does not  apply to any  statement  or  omission  concerning  the
Advisor in the  Prospectus,  made in  reliance  upon,  and in  conformity  with,
information  furnished to SBFM by or on behalf of the Advisor  expressly for use
in the Prospectus.

                  (ii) It is a corporation duly organized,  validly existing and

binding agreement of SBFM and the Partnership enforceable in accordance with its
terms.

                  (v) SBFM  will  not,  by  acting  as  General  Partner  to the
Partnership  and the  Partnership  will not,  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  which  would  materially  limit or  affect  the
performance of its duties under this Agreement.

                  (vi) It is  registered  as a commodity  pool operator and is a
member  of the  NFA,  and it will  maintain  and  renew  such  registration  and
membership during the term of this Agreement.

                  (vii) The Partnership is a limited  partnership duly organized
and validly  existing under the laws of the State of New York and has full power
and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations  under
this Agreement.

Advisor agrees as follows:

                  (i)  In  connection  with  its  activities  on  behalf  of the
Partnership,  the Advisor will comply with all applicable  rules and regulations
of the CFTC and/or the commodity exchange on which any particular transaction is
executed.

                  (ii) The Advisor will promptly notify SBFM of the commencement
of any material suit, action or proceeding involving it, whether or not any such
suit, action or proceeding also involves SBFM.

                  (iii) In the placement of orders for the Partnership's account
and  for  the  accounts  of  any  other  client,  the  Advisor  will  utilize  a
pre-determined, systematic, fair and reasonable order entry system, which shall,
on an overall basis, be no less favorable to the  Partnership  than to any other
account  managed by the Advisor.  The Advisor  acknowledges  its  obligation  to
review the Partnership's positions,  prices and equity in the account managed by
the Advisor daily and within two business days to notify, in writing, the broker
and SBFM and the Partnership's brokers of (i) any error committed by the Advisor
or its  principals or employees;  (ii) any trade which the Advisor  believes was
not executed in accordance with its instructions; and (iii) any discrepancy (due
to differences in the  positions,  prices or equity in the account)  between its
records and the  information  reported on the account's daily and monthly broker
statements.

                  (iv) The Advisor will  demonstrate to SBFM's  satisfaction its
ability  to  bear  its  responsibilities   arising  under  this  Agreement,   by
presentation of supporting  documentation (such as financial statements together
with  a  certification   of  accuracy  or,  in  certain  cases,  the  individual
obligations  of the  controlling  principals  of the Advisor  for the  Advisor's
responsibilities  hereunder) as SBFM may reasonably request. In this connection,
Advisor agrees that it shall cause the Promissory  Note attached hereto as Rider
A to be executed.
