taken or omitted in good faith by a Covered Person and in the reasonable belief that such act or omission is in, or is not contrary to, the best interests of the Company and is within the scope of authority granted to such Covered Person, unless
such act or omission resulted from fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or a willful breach of this Agreement or any related document by such Covered Person and except that nothing herein shall constitute a waiver or limitation of
any rights which a Member or the Company may have under applicable securities laws or of any rights under other laws which may not be waived or (ii) any mistake, negligence, dishonesty or bad faith of any broker or other agent of the Company or

obligations of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and no Covered Person shall be obligated personally for any such debt, liability or obligation of the

 SECTION 4.5. Fund Contributions. Each Member has made a Capital Contribution (through its investment in the Company) to the Funds, as applicable, in the amounts set forth in the books and
records of the Company for each such Member (the “Fund Contribution”). Each Member’s Fund Contribution shall also include the Fund Net Income allocated to its Capital Account that is attributable to such Member’s share of
incentive allocation allocable to the Company from the Funds that is retained in the Funds as if it were an investment in such Fund. 
 SECTION 4.6. Capital Accounts. 
 (a) There shall be established for
each Member on the books of the Company a capital account which shall be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation §§ 1.704-1(b), 1.704-2 and 1.704-3 (the “Capital Account”). The foregoing
provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with these Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations.
The Capital Account balance of each Member shall be an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of such Member’s Capital Contributions to the Company and any Net Income of the Company allocated to such Member and (ii) the
sum of any Net Loss of the Company allocated to such Member and distributions made to such Member. 
 (b) The Managing Member
may, in its sole discretion, create one or more separate subaccounts with respect to each Member’s Capital Account. There shall be established on the books of the Company one or more “Fund Capital Accounts” which








 
shall be a sub-account of a Member’s Capital Account. The Fund Capital Account balance of each Member shall be an amount equal to the Fund Contributions made by such Member, through its
investment in the Company, to such Fund and any Capital Net Income allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 4.7(d), less any Capital Net Loss allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 4.7(d) and any distributions made to such Member
from such Member’s Fund Capital Account pursuant to Section 4.8(b). 
 SECTION 4.7. Allocations.

 (a) The Company’s Net Income and Net Loss, if any, for each Fiscal Year shall be determined in accordance with
Section 704(b) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, under the method of accounting selected by the Managing Member. If Members are admitted to the Company or withdraw from the Company on different dates during any Fiscal Year, the Net
Income or Net Loss allocated among the Members for each such Fiscal Year shall be allocated in accordance with Section 706 of the Code, using any convention permitted by law and selected by the Managing Member. 

(b) The Company’s Other Net Income, if any, for each Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Members as follows: 

(i) First, to the Members up to, and in proportion to, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (1) the
aggregate amount of Other Net Losses allocated to such Members pursuant to Section 4.7(c)(ii) of this Agreement, over (2) the aggregate amount allocated to such Members pursuant to this clause (i) in prior Fiscal Years; 

(ii) Second, to the Members up to, and in proportion to, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (1) the
aggregate amount of Other Net Losses allocated to such Members pursuant to Section 4.7(c)(i) of this Agreement, over (2) the aggregate amount allocated to such Members pursuant to this clause (ii) in prior Fiscal Years; and

 (iii) Third, to the Members in proportion to their respective Sharing Percentages for Other Net Income
for such Fiscal Year (with appropriate adjustments, as determined by the Managing Member, to take account of admissions and withdrawals of Members during Fiscal Year). 
 (c) The Company’s Other Net Losses, if any, for each Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Members as follows: 

(i) First, to the Members up to, and in proportion to, the amount of their positive Capital Account balances
(calculated without reference to any Fund Capital Accounts); and 
 (ii) Second, in accordance with their
respective Sharing Percentages for Other Net Losses for such Fiscal Year (with appropriate adjustments, as determined by the Managing Member, to take into account admissions and withdrawals of Members during such Fiscal Year). 







  
 (d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) any Capital Net Income or Capital Net Loss allocated by any Fund to the Company for each Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to the Fund Capital Account balances of such Members with respect to such
Fund as of the first day of such Fiscal Year (with appropriate adjustments, as determined by the Managing Member, if contributions or withdrawals are made during such Fiscal Year), and (ii) any Fund Net Income allocated or paid to the Company
shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Sharing Percentages for Fund Net Income for such Fiscal Year. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in paragraphs (b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or
(6) of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1, there shall be specially allocated to such Member such items of Company income and gain, at such times and in such amounts as will eliminate as quickly as possible that portion of any deficit in
its Capital Account caused or increased by such adjustments, allocations or distributions. 
 (f) Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Article IV, if there is a net decrease in Company minimum gain or Member nonrecourse debt minimum gain (determined in accordance with the principles of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(d) and 1.704-2(i)) during any Company
taxable year, the Members shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to their respective shares of such net decrease during such year, determined pursuant to Treasury
Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f). This paragraph (f) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback
requirements in such Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith, including that no chargeback shall be required to the extent of the exceptions provided in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(i)(4).

 (g) To the extent permitted by the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, any special allocations of items of income
or gain pursuant to Section 4.7(e) or 4.7(f) shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations of Net Income (Loss) pursuant to this Section 4.7 so that the net amount allocated to the Members pursuant to this
Section 4.7 shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amounts that would have been allocated to each such Member pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.7 if the allocations pursuant to Sections 4.7(e) and 4.7(f) had not
occurred. 
 (h) To the extent the Company is required by law to withhold or to make tax payments (including back-up
withholding) on behalf of or with respect to any Member (“Withholding Tax Advances”), the Managing Member may cause the Company to withhold such amounts and make such tax payments as are required. All Withholding Tax Advances made
on behalf of a Member, plus interest thereon at a rate equal to the prime rate in the Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition on the date of such Withholding Tax Advance plus 2.0% per annum, shall, at the option of the Managing Member, (i) be
promptly paid to the Company by the Member on whose behalf such Withholding Tax Advances were made (such payment not to constitute a Capital Contribution to the 







 
Company), or (ii) be repaid by reducing the amount of any current distribution that would otherwise have been made to such Member, but if there is no such current distribution or such
distribution is not sufficient for that purpose, any such shortfall shall be paid as provided in clause (i) above. Whenever repayment of a Withholding Tax Advance is made by a Member as described in clause (ii) above, for all other
purposes of this Agreement such Member shall be treated as having received the full amount of all distributions that would otherwise have been made to such Member, unreduced by the amount of such Withholding Tax Advance and any interest thereon.

 (i) If any Interest in the Company is Transferred or otherwise adjusted during any Fiscal Period in compliance with the
provisions of this Agreement, each item of income, gain, loss, expense, deduction and credit and all other items attributable to such Interest for such period shall be divided and allocated between the transferor Member and the transferee Member by
taking into account their varying Interests during such period in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, using any conventions permitted by law and approved by the affected Members. All distributions on or before the date of such Transfer
shall be made to the transferor Member, and all distributions thereafter shall be made to the transferee Member. 
 (j) To the
extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in
determining Capital Accounts, the amount of that adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases the basis of the asset), and such gain
or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in the manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to that Treasury Regulation. 

(k) The Managing Member shall have the power to amend the manner in which Capital Accounts are calculated or any allocations thereto are
made if it reasonably determines that such amendment is necessary to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b). 

(l) For income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in any
manner, as reasonably determined by the Managing Member that reflects equitably amounts credited or debited to each Member’s Capital Account for the current and prior Fiscal Periods. In this regard, the Managing Member may cause the Company to
specially allocate additional items of ordinary income or loss or capital gain (including short-term capital gain) or loss to a Member withdrawing all or part of its Capital Account insofar as is possible to reduce the difference, if any, between
the aggregate amounts allocated to such Member’s Capital Account and the aggregate amount of tax items allocated to such Member. For purposes of the foregoing, the Managing Member may determine that an equitable method of allocation includes an
allocation (i) pro rata based upon the relative differences between amounts allocated to the Capital Accounts and the aggregate amounts of tax items allocated to the relevant Members, or (ii) solely to the relevant Members with the
greatest such differences (taking into account such allocations). These 







 
allocations shall be made pursuant to the general principles of Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code and in accordance with any temporary or final regulations adopted thereunder. 

SECTION 4.8. Distributions. 
 (a) Subject to Section 4.8(b) and subject to any restrictions on the Company pursuant to contractual obligations to third parties and the establishment of the Operating Reserve, the Company shall
make distributions of available cash or other property to the Members at such times, but in any event, at least on an annual basis, and in such amounts as are reasonably determined by the Managing Member. Distributions of cash or other property
shall be allocated among the Members in a manner that takes into account their respective Sharing Percentages for Other Net Income, Capital Net Income and Fund Net Income, as the Managing Member reasonably determines, based on the source of such
available cash or other property; provided, that the Managing Member may allocate all or a portion of such amount among the Members based on their respective positive Capital Account balances (calculated without reference to any Fund Capital
Accounts), if it determines that such allocation would be equitable taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances. Notwithstanding the previous two sentences, upon a Member’s request, the Company will use commercially reasonable
efforts, based upon the potential cash flow requirements of the Company, to make a cash distribution, at least annually, from the Company in such amounts sufficient to pay such Member’s (or, in the case of a pass-through entity, the direct or
indirect equity owners of such Members) aggregate federal, state and local income tax liabilities (including estimated taxes) with respect to such Member’s allocable share of the Company’s annual taxable income. Such distributions shall be
treated as advances against any distributions payable under this Agreement, and subsequent distributions under this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of such advances, until such advances are repaid in full (without interest). 

(b) To the extent that the Company receives a distribution from a Fund, such amounts shall be credited to the Fund Capital Accounts and
such amounts shall be distributed by the Company to the Members in accordance with the Members’ respective Fund Capital Account balances (before taking into account such distribution from such Fund) attributable to such Fund. 

(c) Each Member shall furnish the Company with such information, forms and certifications as it may require and as are necessary to
comply with the regulations governing the obligations of withholding tax agents. Each Member represents and warrants that any such information and forms furnished by him shall be true and accurate. Each Member agrees to pay, and to indemnify the
Company and the other Members from, any and all damages, costs and expenses (including any liability for any taxes of any type whatsoever, penalties, additions to tax or interest) in respect of income of (including such Member’s share of
Company income) or distributions, transfers or payments to such Member. To the extent the indemnifying Member is otherwise entitled to distributions from the Company, such damages, costs and expenses may be paid by the Company out of amounts that
would otherwise be distributed to such 







 
Member. For purposes of this Agreement any such payment shall be deemed to be a distribution to such Member (and in the case of any such tax that is imposed upon the Company, the Member shall be
deemed to have recontributed such amount to the Company). In all other events, such Member shall make such payment directly from its own funds. 
 (d) No Member shall have the right to receive other property indirectly held through the Company. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be
required to make a distribution hereunder if such distribution would violate the Act or any other applicable law. 
 SECTION
4.9. Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.7(h), the Company shall bear and be responsible for all expenses incurred in connection with the operation of the Company. The Company may borrow for the payment of expenses,
and may pay expenses and repay borrowings from any source of funds of the Company, as determined by the Managing Member in its sole discretion.

the close of each Fiscal Year, but, in any event, no later than 90 days following the end of each such Fiscal Year, a copy of the financial statements of the Company, including the report of such certified public accountants, shall be furnished to
each Member and shall include, as of the end of such Fiscal Year: 
 (i) a balance sheet of the Company as of
the end of such period; and 
 (ii) a statement of income or loss and a statement of Members’ capital.








  
 (c) Each Person that
was a Member at any time during a Fiscal Year shall be supplied with such information as may be reasonably required to enable such Member to prepare its federal, state, local and non-U.S. income tax returns based upon such Person’s status as a
Member, such other information as such Person may reasonably request for the purpose of applying for a credit for withholding taxes and a statement as to such Member’s Capital Account as at the close of such Fiscal Year.

states and other relevant jurisdictions as to the treatment of any such item or any other method or procedure related to the preparation of such tax returns. The Managing Member may cause the Company to make or refrain from making any and all
elections permitted by such tax laws. The Managing Member shall act as the “tax matters partner” for purposes of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (the “Tax Matters Member”). The Tax Matters Member shall have all of the
rights, duties, powers and obligations provided for in Sections 6221 through 6232 of the Code. Each Member agrees that it will take no position on its individual tax returns inconsistent with the positions taken on the Company’s tax returns.
The Tax Matters Member will take no action which is reasonably expected to have a disproportionate material adverse effect on one or more of the Members unless such action is approved by such adversely affected Members in writing (and such approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided that the Tax Matters Member may take any action which is required in accordance with written advice from qualified counsel (which advice and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to R. Jerry
Parker, Jr.). The Tax Matters Member will be responsible for notifying all Members of ongoing proceedings, both administrative and judicial, and will represent the Company throughout any such proceeding. The Members will furnish the Tax Matters
Member with such information as it may reasonably request to provide the Internal Revenue Service with sufficient information to allow proper notice to the Members. The Tax Matters Member will not bind any other Member to any extension of the
statute of limitations or to a settlement agreement without such Member’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

documentation as is required to be disclosed or provided pursuant to the Act. Each Member shall bear all expenses incurred in any examination made on behalf of such Member.

SECTION 6.1. Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up (i) upon a determination by the
Managing Member to dissolve the Company at any time, (ii) if at any time there are no Members of the Company and the business of the Company is not continued in accordance with the Act, or (iii) upon the entry of a decree of judicial

 SECTION 7.1. Transfer of Members’ Interests. 
 (a) To the fullest
extent permitted by law, no Member may, directly or indirectly, Transfer such Member’s Interest in the Company (other than to one or more of its Affiliates) without the prior written consent of the Managing Member, which may be given or
withheld in its sole discretion for any reason or no reason. 
 (b)
            (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent the Managing Member proposes to Transfer all or a portion of its Interest in the Company to any
Person other than one or more of its Affiliates (such proposed Transfer, a “Proposed ROFR Sale”), the other Members of the Company in good standing shall have a right of first refusal (“Right of First Refusal”) with
respect to such Interest proposed to be Transferred. 
 (ii) In connection with the foregoing, the Managing
Member shall furnish to all other Members of the Company that are in good standing a written notice of such Proposed ROFR Sale (such notice, the “ROFR Notice”). The ROFR Notice will include (1) the amount of Interest proposed
to be Transferred, (2) the name and address of the proposed Transferee (the “Proposed ROFR Transferee”), (3) the proposed amount and form of consideration with respect to the Interest proposed to be Transferred, and
(4) the other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer. 
 (iii) Each Member shall have a
period of 10 Business Days following receipt of the ROFR Notice (the “ROFR Period”) to exercise its Right of First Refusal and agree to purchase all or a portion of the Interest proposed to be Transferred for the price and on the
terms and conditions specified in the ROFR Notice by delivering a written notice to the Managing Member (a “ROFR 







 
Purchase Notice”). Each Member that does not deliver a ROFR Purchase Notice to the Managing Member in compliance with the foregoing requirements, including the ROFR Period, will be
deemed to have waived its Right of First Refusal with respect to the Interest proposed to be Transferred. 
 (iv)
If the Members as a group propose to acquire more of the Interest than is available for purchase, then each such participating Member shall have the right to propose to acquire its pro rata portion of such Interest (based on relative Sharing
Percentages with respect to Fund Net Income (Loss)); provided, that the Managing Member shall not be obligated to sell any portion of the Interest proposed to be Transferred to any other Member unless the Members as a group have proposed to
purchase the entire Interest proposed to be Transferred. 
 (v) If, and only to the extent, the Interest proposed
to be Transferred is not acquired by the other Members at the end of the ROFR Period at the price and on the terms and conditions specified in the ROFR Notice, the Managing Member may Transfer the Interest or a portion thereof to the Proposed ROFR
Transferee within 30 days after the end of the ROFR Period at the price and on the terms and conditions specified in the ROFR Notice (and on other terms and conditions, if any, which are not materially more favorable to the proposed purchaser than
those set forth in the ROFR Notice). 
 (vi) If the Managing Member wishes to Transfer the Interest or a portion
thereof to a Person at a purchase price less than that which is specified in the ROFR Notice or on terms and conditions that are materially more favorable to the proposed purchaser, the Managing Member must first follow the procedures set forth
above using such lower price and/or different terms. 
 (vii) For the avoidance of doubt, any Transfer of all or
a portion of an Interest by the Managing Member to one or more of its Affiliates shall not be deemed to be a Proposed ROFR Sale and this Section 7.1(b) shall not apply to any such Transfer. 

(c) Unless an Assignee is admitted as a substitute Member in accordance with Section 7.2(b), a Transfer by a Member of all or any
part of such Member’s Interest in the Company shall not release such Member from any of such Member’s obligations or liabilities (including such Member’s obligations to make capital contributions hereunder, if any, and such
Member’s share of any liability therefor), or limit the Company’s rights with respect to such Member, of any nature whatsoever arising under this Agreement, and such Assignee shall be entitled only to allocations and distributions with
respect to its Interest and shall have no right to vote such Interest, to participate in the management of the Company or to any accounting or information concerning the affairs of the Company and shall not have any of the other rights of a Member
under this Agreement. 







  
 SECTION
7.2. Other Transfer Provisions. 
 (a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, any purported Transfer by a Member of
all or any part of its Interest in the Company in violation of this Article VII shall be null and void and of no force or effect. 
 (b) Upon a Member’s Transfer of all or any part of such Member’s Interest in the Company to any Person (including a permitted transferee under Section 7.1) (the “Assignee”)
pursuant to this Article VII, such Assignee shall be admitted as a substitute Member in lieu of such transferor Member only with the prior written consent of the Managing Member which consent may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute
discretion. No Transfer shall be permitted or be recognized if such Transfer would cause the Company (i) to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder or (ii) to be treated as an “investment company” within the meaning of the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 Additional Members; Removal and Withdrawal of Members

 SECTION 8.1. Admission of Additional Members; Allocation of Sharing Percentages. 

(a) The Managing Member may admit additional Members to the Company from time to time; provided, that the written consent of R.
Jerry Parker, Jr. shall be required with respect to any such proposed admissions for so long as he is a Member of the Company and Chesapeake Capital Corporation is serving as investment advisor with respect to the Company. Upon the admission
of any additional Member, such Member shall be allocated such Sharing Percentage and shall make such Capital Contributions, if any, as are set forth in such new Member’s Admission Letter, and the Sharing Percentages of existing Members (other
than the Managing Member) shall be adjusted as determined by R. Jerry Parker, Jr. For the avoidance of doubt, the admittance of additional Members shall not affect the Sharing Percentage of the Managing Member. 

(b) Concurrently with the admission of any substitute or additional Member, the Members shall forthwith cause any necessary papers to be
filed and recorded and notice to be given wherever and to the extent required showing the substitution of such transferee as a substitute Member in place of the transferor Member, or the admission of an additional Member. The admission of any Person
as a substitute or additional Member shall be conditioned upon such Person’s written acceptance and adoption of all the terms and provisions of this Agreement. 
 (c) The Managing Member may, or may cause the Company to, enter into separate letter agreements, including profit sharing agreements (each, an “Admission Letter”) with certain Members
with respect to Capital Contributions, Sharing Percentages or any other matter, in each case, in a manner consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 







  
 SECTION
8.2. Removal and Withdrawal of Members. 
 (a) A Member other than the Managing Member (i) may be removed from
the Company by the Managing Member for Cause, (ii) shall be deemed to have withdrawn upon such Member’s death or Permanent Disability, and (iii) shall automatically be removed from the Company when such Member is no longer actively
involved in the business and affairs of the Company or its Affiliates (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall occur in the event that the Trading Advisory Agreement between the Company and Chesapeake Capital Corporation is terminated for any
reason) or, if such Member is employed by the Company or its Affiliates at any time, if such Member’s employment with the Company or its Affiliates terminates (except to the extent otherwise expressly approved by the Managing Member), in the
case of each of clauses (i) to (iii), subject to the terms hereof. Additionally, any Member may voluntarily withdraw from the Company, in whole or in part, at any time upon at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Company
subject to the terms hereof. 
 (b) Subject to this Section 8.2, if a Member is removed or voluntarily withdraws from the
Company, in whole or in part, pursuant to Section 8.2, then within one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of such removal or withdrawal, the Company shall distribute to such Member an amount in cash equal to ninety
percent (90%) of such Member’s positive Capital Account balance (or a portion thereof, as applicable) as of the effective date of such Member’s removal or withdrawal and any remaining portion shall be paid, without interest, within a
reasonable time after the completion of the annual audit of the Company. 
 (c) From and after the effective date of the removal
or withdrawal of a Member from the Company, except as expressly provided herein, such Member shall only be a creditor of the Company and shall have no rights as a Member with respect to the withdrawn Interest and shall not have any interest in the
Company’s items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit, distributions or assets after the effective date of removal or withdrawal (with respect to the withdrawn Interest). For the avoidance of doubt, upon the withdrawal (deemed or
otherwise) or removal of a Member, such Member’s Sharing Percentage shall be reduced to zero (or, in case of a partial withdrawal, shall be reduced pro rata based on the Sharing Percentage represented by the withdrawn Interest as related
to the aggregate Sharing Percentage of the relevant Member), and the Sharing Percentage of all of the remaining Non-Managing Members shall be adjusted pro rata to their respective Sharing Percentages at such time. 

(d) The Managing Member may, in its sole discretion, decide to postpone any distributions made pursuant to Section 8.2, in whole or
in part, until after the financial statements of the Company have been examined by certified public accountants in accordance with Section 5.1(b). 







  
 ARTICLE IX 

Miscellaneous

provided, further, however, that the Managing Member may, without the written consent of any other Member or any other Person, amend, supplement, waive or modify any provision of this Agreement and execute, swear to,
acknowledge, deliver, file and record whatever documents may be required in connection therewith, to reflect: (i) any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification that the Managing Member determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection

Interests in the Company or clause (ii) above relating to the 
 admission of any new Members of the Company shall require the written
consent of R. Jerry Parker, Jr. for so long as he is a Member of the Company and Chesapeake Capital Corporation is serving as investment advisor with respect to the Company; provided, further, that the books and records of the Company
shall be deemed amended from time to time to reflect the admission of a new Member, the withdrawal or resignation of a Member, the adjustment of the Interests resulting from any forfeiture and reallocation of Interests and the adjustment of the
Interests resulting from any Transfer or other disposition of a Interests, in each case that is made in accordance with the provisions hereof; and provided, further, all Members shall be deemed to have provided their consent or

 SECTION 9.9. Titles. Section titles are for descriptive purposes only and shall not control or alter the meaning of this Agreement as set forth in the text hereof. 

SECTION 9.10. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. 

(a) Each Member which is not a natural person represents, warrants and covenants to the other Members that such Member is duly formed and
validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full power and authority to perform its obligations hereunder and that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been duly authorized by such Member.








  
 (b) Each Member who is
a natural person represents, warrants and covenants to the other Members that such Member has the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement and perform such Member’s obligations hereunder. 

(c) Each Member represents, warrants and covenants to the other Members that: 

(i) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Member and constitutes the valid and legally binding
agreement of such Member enforceable in accordance with its terms against such Member subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally, by general equitable principles
and by an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; 
 (ii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement
by such Member and the performance of its duties and obligations hereunder do not result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement, note or
other evidence of indebtedness, or any lease or other agreement, or any license, permit, franchise or certificate, to which such Member or any Affiliate is a party or by which it or any of its Affiliates is bound or to which its or any
Affiliate’s properties are subject, or require any authorization or approval under or pursuant to any of the foregoing which has not been obtained, or violate any statute, regulation, law, order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree to which
such Member or any Affiliate is subject; 
 (iii) such Member is not in default (nor has any event occurred which
with notice, lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) in the performance of any obligation, agreement or condition contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement, note or other evidence of indebtedness or any lease
or other agreement, or any license, permit, franchise or certificate, to which it is a party or by which it is bound or to which the properties of it are subject, nor is it in violation of any statute, regulation, law, order, writ, injunction,
judgment or decree to which it is subject, which default or violation would materially adversely affect such Member’s ability to carry out its obligations under this Agreement; 

(iv) there is no litigation, investigation or other proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of such Member, threatened

 (v) no consent, approval or authorization of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any court or
governmental authority on the part of such Member is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Member and, except as may be required under applicable securities and

(d) Following the date of this Agreement, each Member agrees to notify the Company promptly upon becoming aware of a breach in any of
such Member’s representations, warranties and covenants hereunder. 
 SECTION 9.11. Division of Property. In
the event of a property settlement or separation agreement between a Member and his or her spouse, such Member agrees that he or she shall use his or her best efforts to retain all of his or her Interest in the Company and shall reimburse his or her
spouse for any Interest he or she may have in the Company out of funds, assets or proceeds separate and distinct from his or her Interest in the Company. To the extent that such Member is unable, despite his or her exercise of best efforts, to
retain all of his or her Interest in the Company, such Member shall use its best efforts to assign to his or her spouse only the right to share in profits and losses, to receive distribution or distributions, and to receive allocation of income,
gain, loss, deduction or credit or similar item to which the assigning Member was entitled, to the extent assigned, with the assigning Member remaining entitled to exercise all rights and powers of a Member hereunder; provided that any purported
assignment shall be a Transfer subject to the provisions of Article VII of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a spouse or former 

spouse of a Member acquires an Interest in the Company as a Member as a result of any such proposed settlement or separation agreement, such spouse or
former spouse hereby grants an irrevocable power of attorney (which shall be coupled with an interest) to the assigning Member to vote or to give or withhold such approval as such assigning Member shall himself or herself vote or approve with
respect to such matter and without the necessity of the taking of any action by any such spouse or former spouse, and such spouse or former spouse shall be subject to the removal and withdrawal provisions set forth in Article VIII. Such power of
attorney shall not be affected by the subsequent disability or incapacity of the spouse or former spouse granting such power of attorney. 
 SECTION 9.12. Restrictive Covenants of the Members Relating to Post-Termination Period. Except as set forth herein and further subject to additional provisions in and as limited by each
Member’s Admission Letter (if any), in consideration for being admitted as a Member hereunder, each Member, except for the Managing Member, hereby agrees that as of the date hereof and if such Member ceases to be a Member of the Company for any
reason, then without the consent of the other Members (including for the avoidance of doubt the Managing Member) such Member will not, for a period starting as of the date hereof and continuing for twelve (12) months following such termination
(the “Restricted Period”), whether on such Member’s behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, firm, partnership, joint venture, association, corporation other business organization, entity or enterprise
whatsoever (“Person”), directly or indirectly (i) (A) hire any person, other than a clerical or secretarial person, who is employed by the Company or any Affiliate thereof at the time of such termination or was otherwise an
agent or consultant with respect thereto, who was employed by the Company or any Affiliate thereof at any time during the twelve (12) months prior to such termination or was otherwise an agent or consultant with respect








 
thereto, or who at any time during the Restricted Period discontinues his or her employment, agency or consultancy with the Company or any Affiliate thereof or (B) solicit or encourage any
such person to leave the employment of the Company or any Affiliate thereof or otherwise discontinue its relationship with respect thereto; (ii) solicit or assist in soliciting in competition with the Company or its Affiliates the business of
any past investor, current investor or prospective investor under consideration by the Company or an Affiliate thereof or any client of the foregoing, to the extent such terminated Member was notified of the relationship prior to or within a
reasonable period after such termination; (iii) interfere with, or attempt to interfere with, past, current or prospective business relationships (whether formed before or after such termination) between the Company or any of its Affiliates and
their customers, clients, suppliers, partners, members or investors; or (iv) acquire a financial interest in, or otherwise become actively involved with, any Person (or any division or controlled or controlling Affiliate of any Person) who or
which engages in any business or activity that competes (by making use of the Diversified Program as the material trading strategy of another commodity pool, as that term is defined in regulations under the Commodity Exchange Act, in which the
Sellers or their directors, officers or employees or any Seller’s Affiliates are principals of the commodity pool’s commodity pool operator; in this sub-section, “material” means that at least 75% of the pool’s assets are
traded according to the Diversified Program) with the business and/or activities of the Company or any Affiliate thereof (including businesses which the Company or any Affiliate thereof has specific plans to conduct in the future and as to which
such Member is aware of such planning, and businesses in which the Company or any Affiliate thereof engaged at any time during such Member’s employment) as an employee, partner, member, shareholder, officer, director, principal, agent, trustee
or consultant. 
 SECTION 9.13. Irreparable Harm. Each of the Members hereby agrees that a failure to comply with
the provisions of Section 9.4 or 9.12 would cause irreparable harm to the Company and the other Members, and, therefore, the Company and the other Members shall be entitled to an injunction and other equitable relief in the event of any such
failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.4 or 9.12. 
 SECTION 9.14. Partnership Tax Treatment. The
Members intend for the Company to be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and no election to the contrary shall be made. 
 SECTION 9.15. Severability. Each provision of this Agreement shall be considered severable and if for any reason any provision which is not essential to the effectuation of the basic purposes
of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable and contrary to the Act or existing or future applicable law, such invalidity shall not impair the operation of or affect those provisions of this
Agreement which are valid. In that case, this Agreement shall be construed so as to limit any term or provision so as to make it enforceable or valid within the requirements of any applicable law, and in the event such term or provision cannot be so
limited, this Agreement shall be construed to omit such invalid or unenforceable provisions. 







  
 SECTION
9.16. Survival. The provisions of Sections 9.4, 9.12, and 9.13 and this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
