5.   Eligibility. All of the Company's Service Providers (and any individuals who have accepted an offer for service as a Service Provider) are eligible to be granted Options under the Plan. 

6.   Limitations. Neither the Plan nor any Option shall confer upon an Optionee any right with respect to continuing the Optionee's relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor shall they interfere in any way with the Optionee's right or the Company's right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause.

7.   Term of Plan. Subject to section 16 of the Plan, the Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten years unless terminated earlier under section 12 of the Plan. Any Options outstanding at the end of such period shall remain in effect in accordance with their terms.

8.   Options.

 

(a)   Term. The term of each Option shall be stated in the Option Agreement. 

(b)   Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be determined by the Administrator, but shall not be less than Fair Market Value on the date the Option is granted or the trading day immediately preceding the date the Option is granted.

(c)   Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator shall fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and shall determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised. 

(d)   Form of Consideration. The Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. Such consideration may consist entirely of:

 

(i)   cash;

 

(ii)   check;

(iii)   consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan;

(iv)   any combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or

	  
	 	5	 
	

	 

(v)   such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

(e)   Exercise of Option.

 

(i)   Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as are determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share.

 

An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: [a] written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and [b] full payment for the shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse. Until the shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Common Stock subject to the Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the shares are issued, except as provided in section 10 of the Plan.

Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the number of shares of Common Stock thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of shares of Common Stock as to which the Option is exercised.

(ii)   Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Optionee's death or Disability, retirement after age 55 or termination for Cause, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three months following the Optionee's termination. If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the shares of Common Stock covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the shares of Common Stock covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

	  
	 	6	 
	

	 

(iii)   Disability or Retirement of Optionee. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Optionee's Disability or the Optionee's retirement after age 55, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve months following the Optionee's termination. If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the shares of Common Stock covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the shares of Common Stock covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

(iv)   Death of Optionee. If an Optionee dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), by the Optionee's estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death. In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve months following the Optionee's death. If, at the time of death, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the shares of Common Stock covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan. The Option may be exercised by the executor or administrator of the Optionee's estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the Option under the Optionee's will or the laws of descent or distribution. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the shares of Common Stock covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

(v)   Termination for Cause. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of a termination for Cause, any Option or Options held by him or her under the Plan, to the extent not exercised before such termination, shall forthwith terminate.

(vi)   Buy-out Provisions. The Administrator may at any time offer to buy out for a payment in cash or shares of Common Stock an Option previously granted based on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made.

9.   Nontransferability of Options. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee. If the Administrator makes an Option transferable, such Option shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate.

	  
	 	7	 
	

	 

10.   Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, or Acquisition of the Company.

(a)   Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option, and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option.

(b)   Acquisitions. In the event that an Acquisition (as defined below) occurs with respect to the Company, the Administrator shall, in its sole discretion, have authority to provide for (i) waiver in whole or in part of any remaining restrictions or vesting requirements in connection with any Option granted hereunder, (ii) the conversion of each outstanding Option into cash equal to a reasonable, good faith estimate of an amount (hereinafter the "Spread") equal to the difference between the net amount per share payable in the Acquisition, or as a result of the Acquisition, less the exercise price per share of the Option and/or (iii) the conversion of outstanding Options into the right to receive securities of another entity upon such terms and conditions as are determined by the Administrator in its discretion. In estimating the Spread, appropriate adjustments to give effect to the existence of the Options shall be made, such as deeming the Options to have been exercised, with the Company receiving the exercise price payable thereunder, and treating the shares receivable upon exercise of the Options as being outstanding in determining the net amount per share. For purposes of this section, an "Acquisition" shall mean any transaction in which substantially all of the Company's assets are acquired or in which a controlling amount of the Company's outstanding shares are acquired, in each case by a single person or entity or an affiliated group of persons and/or entities regardless of how the Acquisition is effectuated, whether by direct purchase, through a merger or similar corporate transaction, or otherwise. For purposes of this section a controlling amount shall mean more than 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Company. In cases where the Acquisition consists of the acquisition of assets of the Company, the net amount per share shall be calculated on the basis of the net amount receivable with respect to shares upon a distribution and liquidation by the Company after giving effect to expenses and charges, including but not limited to taxes, payable by the Company before the liquidation can be completed.

	  
	 	8	 
	

	 

(c)   Dissolution or Liquidation. Subject to Section 10(b) above, in the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an Optionee to have the right to exercise his or her Option until ten days prior to such transaction as to all of the Common Stock covered thereby, including shares of Common Stock as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option applicable to any shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of an Option shall lapse as to all such shares, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

11.   Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Option shall be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be provided to each Optionee within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

12.   Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

(a)   Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

(b)   Stockholder Approval. The Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws.

(c)   Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator's ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Options granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

13.   Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. 

(a)   Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and delivery of such shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

(b)   Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Company may require the person exercising such Option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the shares of Common Stock are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.

	  
	 	9	 
	

	 

14.   Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares of Common Stock hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

15.   Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

16.   Stockholder Approval. The Plan shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within 12 months after the date the Plan is adopted. Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.

parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.                                       Undertakings in
Connection with the Continuing Offering of Units.

(a)           The Trading Advisor
agrees with respect to the continuing offering of Units:  (i) to make all disclosures regarding
itself, its principals and affiliates, its trading performance, its trading
programs, systems, methods, and strategies (subject to the need, in the
reasonable discretion of the Trading Advisor, to preserve the confidentiality
of proprietary information concerning such programs, systems, methods, and
strategies), any client accounts over which it has discretionary trading
authority (other than the names of any such clients), and otherwise, as the
General Partner may reasonably require (x) to be made in the Partnership’s
Prospectus required by Section 4.21 of the CFTC’s Regulations, including any
amendments or supplements thereto, or (y) to comply with any applicable
federal or state law or rule or regulation, including those of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the CFTC, the National Futures Association
(the “NFA”), the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”)
or any other regulatory body, exchange, or board; and (ii) otherwise to
cooperate with the Partnership, the General Partner, and Morgan Stanley DW
Inc., an affiliate of the General Partner and the selling agent for the
Partnership (“Morgan Stanley DW”), by providing information regarding the Trading
Advisor in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration
Statement and Prospectus, including any pre-or post-effective amendments or
supplements thereto, with the SEC, CFTC, NFA, NASD, and with appropriate
governmental authorities as part of making application for registration of the
Units under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the
Partnership may deem appropriate.  As
used herein, the term “principal” shall have the meaning as defined in Rule
3.1(a) of the CFTC’s Regulations and the term “affiliate” shall mean any
individual or entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or
is under common control with the Trading Advisor.

(b)           The General Partner,
in its sole discretion and at any time may (i) withdraw the SEC
registration of the Units, or (ii) discontinue the offering of Units.

(c)           If, while Units
continue to be offered and sold, the Trading Advisor becomes aware of any
materially untrue or misleading statement or omission regarding itself or any of
its principals or affiliates in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or of
the occurrence of any event or change in circumstances which would result in
there being any materially untrue or misleading statement or omission in the
Registration Statement or Prospectus regarding itself or any of its principals
or affiliates, the Trading Advisor shall promptly notify the General Partner
and shall cooperate with it in the preparation of any necessary amendments or
supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus.  Neither the Trading Advisor nor any of its
principals or affiliates or any stockholders, officers, directors, or employees
shall distribute the Prospectus or selling literature or shall engage in any
selling activities whatsoever in

 

-2-

 

connection
with the continuing offering of Units except as may be specifically requested
by the General Partner.

2.                                       Duties of the
Trading Advisor.

(a)           The Trading Advisor
hereby agrees to act as Trading Advisor for the Partnership and, as such, shall
have sole authority and responsibility for directing the investment and
reinvestment of its allocable share of the Net Assets of the Partnership which
shall initially be traded pursuant to its Developed Markets Currency Program as
described in the Prospectus, and may be subsequently traded pursuant to such
other of the Trading Advisor’s trading programs described in the Prospectus as
the General Partner may instruct (with such changes and additions to such trading
programs as the Trading Advisor, from time to time, incorporates into its
trading program(s) for accounts the size of the Partnership), (collectively,
the “Trading Program”) on the terms and conditions and in accordance with the
prohibitions and trading policies set forth in Exhibit A hereto, the
Prospectus, and as otherwise provided in writing to the Trading Advisor; provided,
however, that the General Partner may override the instructions of the
Trading Advisor to the extent necessary (i) to comply with the trading
policies of the Partnership, as described in the Prospectus and the Limited
Partnership Agreement, and with applicable speculative position limits,
(ii) to fund any distributions, redemptions or reappointments among other
trading advisors to the Partnership, (iii) to pay the Partnership’s
expenses, (iv) to the extent the General Partner believes doing so is
necessary for the protection of the Partnership, (v) to terminate the
futures interests trading of the Partnership, or (vi) to comply with any
applicable law or regulation.  The
General Partner agrees not to override any such instructions for the reasons
specified in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence unless the Trading
Advisor fails to comply with a request of the General Partner to make the
necessary amount of funds available to the Partnership within five calendar
days of such request.  Except as
otherwise provided herein, the Trading Advisor shall not be liable for the
consequences of any decision by the General Partner to override instructions of
the Trading Advisor.  In performing
services for the Partnership, the Trading Advisor may not materially alter or
change the Trading Program without the prior written consent of the General
Partner, it being understood that changes in the futures interests traded shall
not be deemed an alteration in the Trading Program.

(b)           The
Trading Advisor shall:

(i)            Exercise good faith
and due care in trading futures interests for the account of the Partnership in
accordance with the prohibitions and trading policies of the Partnership
described in Exhibit A hereto, the Prospectus and as otherwise
provided in writing to the Trading Advisor. 
The Trading Advisor shall trade its allocated portion of the
Partnership’s Net Assets pursuant to the Trading Program.

(ii)           Subject to
reasonable assurances of confidentiality by the General Partner and the
Partnership, provide the General Partner, within 30 calendar days of a request
therefor by the General Partner, with information comparing the performance of
the Partnership’s account and the performance of all other client accounts
directed by the Trading Advisor using the Trading Program over a specified
period of time.  In providing such
information, the Trading Advisor may take such steps as are necessary to assure
the confidentiality of the Trading Advisor’s clients’ identities.  The Trading Advisor shall,

 

-3-

 

upon the General
Partner’s request, consult with the General Partner concerning any
discrepancies between the performance of such other accounts and the
Partnership’s account.  The Trading
Advisor shall promptly inform the General Partner of any material discrepancies
of which the Trading Advisor becomes aware. 
The General Partner acknowledges that different trading programs,
strategies or implementation methods may be utilized for different accounts,
accounts with different trading policies, accounts experiencing differing
inflows or outflows of equity, accounts that commence trading at different
times, accounts which have different portfolios or different fiscal years and
that such differences may cause divergent trading results.

(iii)          Upon request of the
General Partner and subject to reasonable assurances of confidentiality by the
General Partner and the Partnership, provide the General Partner with all
material information concerning the Trading Advisor other than proprietary
information (including, without limitation, information relating to changes in
control, personnel, trading approach, or financial condition).  The General Partner acknowledges that all
trading instructions made by the Trading Advisor will be held in confidence by
the General Partner, except to the extent necessary to conduct the business of
the Partnership or as required by law.

(iv)          Inform the General
Partner when the Trading Advisor’s open positions maintained by the Trading
Advisor exceed the Trading Advisor’s applicable speculative position limits.

(v)           In performing
services to the Partnership, the Trading Advisor shall utilize the Trading
Program.  The Trading Advisor shall give
the General Partner prior written notice of any change in the Trading Program
that the Trading Advisor deems to be material (and shall not effect such change
on behalf of the Partnership without the General Partner’s consent), it being
understood that changes in the futures interests traded, provided that such
futures interests are listed in Exhibit B hereto, shall not be deemed an
alteration in the Trading Program.

(c)           All purchases and
sales of futures interests pursuant to this Agreement shall be for the account,
and at the risk, of the Partnership and not for the account, or at the risk, of
the Trading Advisor or any of its stockholders, directors, officers, or
employees, or any other person, if any, who controls the Trading Advisor within
the meaning of the Securities Act.  All
brokerage fee, including give-up fees at rates approved by Morgan Stanley DW
arising from trading by the Trading Advisor shall be for the account of the
Partnership.  The Trading Advisor makes
no representations as to whether its trading will produce profits or avoid
losses.

(d)           Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Trading Advisor shall assume
financial responsibility for any errors committed or caused by it in
transmitting orders for the purchase or sale of futures interests for the
Partnership’s account, including, but not limited to, payment of the
commissions, exchange and NFA fees, and other transaction charges and give-up
charges incurred on such trades.  The
Trading Advisor’s errors shall include, but not be limited to, inputting
improper trading signals or communicating incorrect orders for execution.  The Trading Advisor shall not be responsible
for errors committed or caused by Morgan Stanley DW, Morgan Stanley & Co.,
Incorporated (“MS&Co.”)

 

-4-

 

or
any other floor broker or futures commission merchant executing trades.  The Trading Advisor shall have an
affirmative obligation to promptly notify the General Partner of its own
errors, and the Trading Advisor shall use its best efforts to identify and
promptly notify the General Partner of any order or trade which the Trading
Advisor reasonably believes was not executed in accordance with its instructions.

(e)           Prior to the
commencement of trading, the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership shall
deliver to the Trading Advisor a trading authorization in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit C hereto, appointing the Trading Advisor the
Partnership’s attorney-in-fact for such purpose.

3.                                       Designation of
Additional Trading Advisors and Reallocation of Net Assets.

(a)           If the General
Partner at any time deems it to be in the best interests of the Partnership,
the General Partner may designate an additional trading advisor or advisors for
the Partnership and may apportion to such additional trading advisor(s) the
management of such amounts of Net Assets as the General Partner shall determine
in its absolute discretion.  The
designation of an additional trading advisor or advisors or replacement of any
trading advisor for the Partnership by the General Partner shall not require
any approval of any existing trading advisor (including the Trading
Advisor).  The designation and retention
of an additional trading advisor or replacement trading advisor or advisors and
the apportionment of Net Assets to any such trading advisor(s) pursuant to this
Section 3 shall neither terminate this Agreement nor modify in any regard
the respective rights and obligations of the Partnership, the General Partner
and the Trading Advisor hereunder with respect to the assets that remain under
the management of the Trading Advisor. 
In the event that an additional trading advisor is so designated, the
Trading Advisor shall thereafter receive management and incentive fees based,
respectively, on that portion of the Net Assets managed by the Trading Advisor
and that portion of the Trading Profits (as defined in Section 6(c)
hereof) properly attributable to the trading done by the Trading Advisor.

(b)           The General Partner
may at any time and from time to time upon two business days’ prior notice
reallocate Net Assets allocated to the Trading Advisor to any other trading
advisor or advisors of the Partnership or allocate additional Net Assets upon
two business days’ prior notice to the Trading Advisor from such other trading
advisor or advisors; provided that any such addition to or withdrawal from Net
Assets allocated to the Trading Advisor of the Net Assets will only take place
on the last day of a month unless the General Partner determines that the best
interest of the Partnership require otherwise.

4.                                       Trading Advisor Independent.

For all purposes of this
Agreement, the Trading Advisor shall be deemed to be an independent contractor
and shall, unless otherwise expressly provided herein or authorized, have no
authority to act for or represent the Partnership in any way or otherwise be
deemed an agent of the Partnership or General Partner.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
require the Partnership or General Partner to take any action contrary to the
Limited Partnership Agreement,

 

-5-

 

the Certificate of
Limited Partnership of the Partnership as from time to time in effect (the
“Certificate of Limited Partnership”), or any applicable law or rule or
regulation of any regulatory body, exchange, or board.  Nothing herein contained shall constitute
the Trading Advisor and any other trading advisor or advisors for the
Partnership, the General Partner, or other member partnership of the Fund Group
or their trading advisors as a member of any partnership, joint venture,
association, syndicate or other entity with the Partnership or the General
Partner, or, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, be
deemed to confer on any of them any express, implied, or apparent authority to
incur any obligation or liability on behalf of any other.  It is expressly agreed that the Trading
Advisor is neither a promoter, sponsor, nor issuer with respect to the
Partnership.

5.                                       Commodity Brokers.

The Trading Advisor shall
effect all transactions in futures interests for the Partnership through, and
shall maintain a separate account with, such commodity broker or brokers as the
General Partner shall direct.  At the
present time, Morgan Stanley DW, shall act as the non-clearing commodity broker
and MS&Co., an affiliate of the General Partner shall act as the clearing
commodity broker for the Partnership with the exception of trades on the London
Metal Exchange which will be cleared by Morgan Stanley & Co. International
Limited (“MSIL”), all of which are affiliates of the General Partner.  In addition, MS&Co. will act as the
counterparty on all of the foreign currency forward trades and Morgan Stanley
Capital Group Inc. (“MSCG”) will act as the counterparty on all of the options
on foreign currency forward trades for the clearing commodity broker.  The General Partner shall provide the
Trading Advisor with copies of brokerage statements.  Notwithstanding that MS&Co. shall act as the counterparty on
all of the foreign currency forward trades and MSCG shall act as the
counterparty on all of the options on foreign currency forward trades for the
clearing commodity broker for the Partnership, the Trading Advisor may execute
trades through floor brokers other than those employed by MS&Co. and MSCG
so long as arrangements are made for such floor brokers to “give-up” or
transfer the positions to MS&Co. and MSCG and provided that the rates
charged by such floor brokers have been approved in writing by Morgan Stanley
DW.  The Trading Advisor will not enter
into any Soft Commission Agreements (as such term is defined by FSA rules).

6.                                       Fees.

(a)           For
the services to be rendered to the Partnership by the Trading Advisor under
this Agreement, the Partnership shall pay the Trading Advisor the following
fees:

(i)            A monthly
management fee, without regard to the profitability of the Trading Advisor’s
trading for the Partnership’s account, equal to 1/12 of 2% (a 2% annual rate) of
the Partnership’s “Net Assets” allocated to the Trading Advisor (as defined in
Section 7(d)(1) of the Limited Partnership Agreement) as of the opening of
business on the first day of each calendar month, commencing with the month in
which the Partnership begins to receive trading advice from the Trading Advisor
pursuant to this Agreement.

 

-6-

 

(ii)           A monthly incentive
fee equal to 20% of the “Trading Profits” (as defined in Section 6(c))
experienced by the Partnership as of the end of each calendar month, payable on
a non-netted basis vis à vis other trading advisor(s) or the Partnership.

(b)           If this Agreement is
terminated on a date other than the last day of a month, the incentive fee
described above shall be determined as if such date were the end of a
month.  If this Agreement is terminated
on a date other than the end of a month, the management fee described above
shall be prorated based on the ratio of the number of trading days in the month
through the date of termination to the total number of trading days in the
month.  If, during any month after the
Partnership commences trading operations, the Partnership does not conduct
business operations, or suspends trading for the account of the Partnership managed
by the Trading Advisor, or, as a result of an act or material failure to act by
the Trading Advisor, is otherwise unable to utilize the trading advice of the
Trading Advisor on any of the trading days of that period for any reason, the
management fee described above shall be prorated based on the ratio of the
number of trading days in the month that the Partnership account managed by the
Trading Advisor engaged in trading operations or utilized the trading advice of
the Trading Advisor to the total number of trading days in the month.

(c)           As used herein, the
term “Trading Profits” shall mean net futures interests trading profits
(realized and unrealized) earned on the Partnership’s Net Assets allocated to
the Trading Advisor, decreased by the Trading Advisor’s monthly management
fees, and a pro rata portion of brokerage fees and any transaction fees and
costs relating to the Trading Advisor’s allocated Net Assets, if any, not
included in the brokerage fees; with such trading profits and items of decrease
determined from the end of the last calendar month in which an incentive fee
was earned by the Trading Advisor or, if no incentive fee has been earned
previously by the Trading Advisor, from the date that the Partnership commenced
trading to the end of the month as of which such incentive fee calculation is
being made.  Extraordinary expenses of
the Partnership, if any, will not be deducted in determining Trading
Profits.  No incentive fee will be paid
on interest income earned by the Partnership.

(d)           If any payment of
incentive fees is made to the Trading Advisor on account of Trading Profits
earned by the Partnership on Net Assets allocated to the Trading Advisor and
the Partnership thereafter fails to earn Trading Profits or experiences losses
for any subsequent incentive period with respect to such amounts so allocated,
the Trading Advisor shall be entitled to retain such amounts of incentive fees
previously paid to the Trading Advisor in respect of such Trading Profits.  However, no subsequent incentive fees shall
be payable to the Trading Advisor until the Partnership has again earned
Trading Profits on the Trading Advisor’s allocated Net Assets; provided,
however, that if the Trading Advisor’s allocated Net Assets are reduced
or increased because of redemptions or additions or reallocations that occur at
the end of, or subsequent to, an incentive period in which the Partnership
experiences a futures interests trading loss with respect to Net Assets
allocated to the Trading Advisor, the trading loss for that incentive period
which must be recovered before the Trading Advisor’s allocated Net Assets will
be deemed to experience Trading Profits will be equal to the amount determined
by (x) dividing the Trading Advisor’s allocated Net Assets after such increase
or decrease by the Trading Advisor’s allocated Net Assets immediately before
such increase or decrease and (y) multiplying that fraction by the amount
of the unrecovered futures interests trading loss experienced in the month
prior to such increase or decrease.  In
the event that the Partnership experiences a futures

 

-7-

 

interests
trading loss in more than one month with respect to the Trading Advisor’s
allocated Net Assets without the payment of an intervening incentive fee and
Trading Advisor’s allocated Net Assets are increased or reduced in more than
one such month because of redemptions or additions or reallocations, then the
trading loss for each such month shall be adjusted in accordance with the
formula described above and such increased or reduced amount of futures
interests trading loss shall be carried forward and used to offset subsequent
Trading Profits.  The portion of
redemptions to be allocated to the Net Assets of the Partnership managed by
each of the trading advisors to the Partnership shall be in sole discretion of
the General Partner.

7.                                       Term.

(a)           This Agreement shall
continue in effect for a period of (1) year from the date of this Agreement
(the “Initial Termination Date”).  If
this Agreement is not terminated on the Initial Termination Date, as provided
for herein, then, this Agreement shall automatically renew for an additional
one-year period and shall continue to renew for additional one-year periods
until this Agreement is otherwise terminated, as provided for herein.  At least 30 calendar days prior to the
expiration of the Initial Termination Date or any subsequent one-year period,
as the case may be, the Trading Advisor may terminate this Agreement at the end
of the current period by providing written notice to the Partnership indicating
that the Trading Advisor desires to terminate this Agreement at the end of such
period.  This Agreement shall also
terminate if the Partnership terminates. 
The Partnership shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at its
discretion (a) at any month-end upon 5 calendar days’ prior written notice
to the Trading Advisor or (b) at any time upon written notice to the
Trading Advisor upon the occurrence of any of the following events:  (i) if any person described as a
“principal” of the Trading Advisor in the Prospectus ceases for any reason to
be an active executive officer of the Trading Advisor; (ii) if the Trading
Advisor becomes bankrupt or insolvent; (iii) if the Trading Advisor is
unable to use its Trading Program, systems or methods as in effect on the date
hereof and as refined and modified in the future for the benefit of the
Partnership; (iv) if the registration, as a commodity trading advisor, of
the Trading Advisor with the CFTC or its membership in the NFA is revoked,
suspended, terminated, or not renewed, or limited or qualified in any respect;
(v) except as provided in Section 12 hereof, if the Trading Advisor
merges or consolidates with, or sells or otherwise transfers its advisory
business, or all or a substantial portion of its assets, any portion of its
futures interests trading programs, systems or methods, or its goodwill, to any
individual or entity; (vi) if the Trading Advisor’s initially allocated
Net Assets, after adjusting for distributions, additions, redemptions, or
reallocations, if any, shall decline by 50% or more as a result of trading
losses or if Net Assets allocated to the Trading Advisor fall below
$5,000,000.00 at any time; (vii) if, at any time, the Trading Advisor
materially violates any trading or administrative policy described in the
Prospectus or the Limited Partnership Agreement or otherwise provided in
writing to the Trading Advisor by the General Partner, except with the prior
express written consent of the General Partner; or (viii) if the Trading
Advisor fails in a material manner to perform any of its obligations under this
Agreement.

(b)           The Trading Advisor
may terminate this Agreement at any time, upon written notice to the
Partnership, in the event: 
(i) that the General Partner imposes additional trading
limitation(s) (not in effect on the date hereof) in the form of one or more
trading policies or administrative policies that the Trading Advisor does not
agree to follow in its management of

 

-8-

 

its
allocable share of the Partnership’s Net Assets; (ii) the General Partner
objects to the Trading Advisor implementing a proposed material change in the
Trading Advisor’s Trading Program and the Trading Advisor certifies to the
General Partner in writing that it believes such change is in the best
interests of the Partnership; (iii) the General Partner overrides a
trading instruction of the Trading Advisor for reasons unrelated to a
determination by the General Partner that the Trading Advisor has violated the
Partnership’s trading policies and the Trading Advisor certifies to the General
Partner in writing that as a result the Trading Advisor believes the
performance results of the Trading Advisor relating to the Partnership will be
materially adversely affected; (iv) the Partnership materially breaches
this Agreement and does not correct the breach within 10 business days of
receipt of a written notice of such breach from the Trading Advisor; or (v) the
Trading Advisor has amended its Trading Program to include a foreign futures or
option contract which may lawfully be traded by the Partnership under CFTC
regulations and counsel, mutually acceptable to the parties, has not opined
that such inclusion would cause adverse tax consequences to Limited Partners
and the General Partner does not consent to the Trading Advisor’s trading such
contract for the Partnership within 5 business days of a written request by the
Trading Advisor to do so, or, if such consent is given, does not make
arrangements to facilitate such trading within 90 calendar days of such notice;
or (vi) the Partnership’s Net Assets fall below $1,000,000 at any time.

The indemnities set forth
in Section 8 hereof shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

8.                                       Standard of

Partnership or the General Partner or their partners, officers, shareholders,

involving the Partnership’s futures interests trading by the Trading Advisor,
or any of its controlling persons or affiliates or their respective directors,

Advisor shall have approved such settlement, and in connection with any
administrative proceedings), in respect of the offer or sale of Units, insofar
as such loss, claim, damage, liability, cost, or expense (or action in respect
thereof) arises out of, or is based upon: 
(i) a breach by the Trading Advisor of any representation,
warranty, or agreement in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant
to this Agreement or the failure by the Trading Advisor to perform any covenant
made by the Trading Advisor herein; (ii) a breach of the disclosure

selling
material or an omission or alleged omission to state a material fact therein
which is required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein (in the case of the Prospectus and any selling material, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and such statement
or omission relates specifically to the Trading Advisor, or its Trading Advisor
Principals (including the historical performance capsules, but excluding the
pro forma performance information except to the extent the pro forma
performance information was based on information furnished by the Trading
Advisor) or was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written
information or instructions furnished by the Trading Advisor ( provided,
however, that with respect to any related selling material only such
related selling material as shall have been approved in writing by the Trading
Advisor).

(e)           Partnership and
General Partner Indemnity in Respect of Sale of Units.  The Partnership and the General Partner
agree, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trading Advisor and each of
its officers, directors, principals, partners, shareholders, and controlling
persons from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability, cost, and expense,
joint and several, to which any indemnified person may become subject under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the CEAct, the securities or Blue Sky law of
any jurisdiction, or otherwise (including any reasonable investigatory, legal,
and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amounts paid in, any
settlement, provided that the Partnership shall have approved such settlement,
and in connection with any administrative proceedings), in respect of the offer
or sale of Units, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability, cost, or
expense (or action in respect thereof) arises out of, or is based upon:  (i) a breach by the Partnership or the
General Partner of any representation, warranty, or agreement in this Agreement
or the failure by the Partnership or the General Partner to perform any
covenant made by them herein; or (ii) a misleading or untrue statement or
alleged misleading or untrue statement of a material fact made in the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any related selling material or an
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact therein which is required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case
of the Prospectus or the selling material, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made) not misleading, provided that such materially misleading
or untrue statement or alleged materially misleading or untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission does not specifically relate to the Trading
Advisor or its Trading Advisor Principals (including the historical performance
capsules, but excluding the pro forma performance information except to the
extent the pro forma performance information was based on information furnished
by the Trading Advisor) or was not made in reliance upon, and in conformity
with, written information or instructions furnished by the Trading Advisor ( provided,
however, that with respect to any related selling material, only such
related selling material as shall have been approved in writing by the Trading
Advisor), or does not result from a breach by the Trading Advisor of any
representation, warranty, or agreement in this Agreement or any certificate
delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the failure by the Trading Advisor to
materially perform any covenant made in this Agreement.  This indemnity shall not relate to any matter
for which the Partnership would be indemnified under Section 8(d).

(f)            The foregoing
agreements of indemnity shall be in addition to, and shall in no respect limit
or restrict, any other remedies which may be available to an indemnified
person.

(g)           Promptly after
receipt by an indemnified person of notice of the commencement of any action,
claim, or proceeding to which any of the indemnities may apply,

 

-11-

 

the
indemnified person will notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party hereunder; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying
party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the
indemnifying party may have to the indemnified person hereunder, except where
such omission has materially prejudiced the indemnifying party.  In case any action, claim, or proceeding is
brought against an indemnified person and the indemnified person notifies the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof as provided above, the
indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent
that the indemnifying party desires, to assume the defense thereof with counsel
selected by the indemnifying party and not unreasonably disapproved by the
indemnified person.  After notice from
the indemnifying party to the indemnified person of the indemnifying party’s
election so to assume the defense thereof as provided above, the indemnifying party
will not be liable to the indemnified person under the indemnity provisions
hereof for any legal and other expenses subsequently incurred by the
indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof, other than
reasonable costs of investigation.

Notwithstanding the
preceding paragraph, if, in any action, claim, or proceeding as to which
indemnification is or may be available hereunder, an indemnified person
reasonably determines that its interests are or may be adverse, in whole or in
part, to the indemnifying party’s interests or that there may be legal defenses
available to the indemnified person which are different from, in addition to,
or inconsistent with the defenses available to the indemnifying party, the
indemnified person may retain its own counsel in connection with such action,
claim, or proceeding and will be indemnified by the indemnifying party for any
legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating
or defending such action, claim, or proceeding.

In no event will the
indemnifying party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel
for all indemnified persons in connection with any one action, claim, or
proceeding or in connection with separate but similar or related actions,
claims, or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
allegations.  The indemnifying party
will not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim, or proceeding
effected without the indemnifying party’s express written consent, but if any
action, claim, or proceeding is settled with the indemnifying party’s express
written consent, the indemnifying party will indemnify, defend, and hold
harmless an indemnified person as provided in this Section 8.

9.                                       Right to Advise
Others and Uniformity of Acts and Practices.

(a)           The Trading Advisor
is engaged in the business of advising investors as to the purchase and sale of
futures interests.  During the term of
this Agreement, the Trading Advisor, its principals and affiliates, will be advising
other investors (including affiliates and stockholders, officers, directors,
and employees of the Trading Advisor and its affiliates and their families) and
trading for their own accounts. 
However, under no circumstances shall the Trading Advisor or any of its
principals or affiliates by any act or omission favor any account advised or
managed by the Trading Advisor or any of its principals or affiliates over the
account of the Partnership in any way or manner (other than by charging
different management and/or incentive fees). 
The Trading Advisor and its principals and affiliates agrees to treat
the Partnership in a fiduciary capacity to the extent recognized by applicable
law, but, subject to that standard, the

 

-12-

 

Trading
Advisor or any of its principals or affiliates shall be free to advise and
manage accounts for other investors and shall be free to trade on the basis of
the same Trading Program, systems, methods, or strategies employed by the
Trading Advisor for the account of the Partnership, or trading programs,
systems, methods, or strategies which are entirely independent of, or
materially different from, those employed for the account of the Partnership,
and shall be free to compete for the same futures interests as the Partnership
or to take positions opposite to the Partnership, where such actions do not
knowingly or deliberately prefer any of such accounts over the account of the
Partnership.

(b)           The Trading Advisor
and its principals and affiliates shall not be restricted as to the number or
nature of its clients, except that: 
(i) so long as the Trading Advisor acts as a trading advisor for
the Partnership, neither the Trading Advisor nor any of its principals or
affiliates shall hold knowingly any position or control any other account that
would cause the Partnership, the Trading Advisor, or the principals or
affiliates of the Trading Advisor to be in violation of the CEAct or any
regulations promulgated thereunder, any applicable rule or regulation of the
CFTC or any other regulatory body, exchange, or board; and (ii) neither
the Trading Advisor nor any of its principals or affiliates shall render
futures interests trading advice to any other individual or entity or otherwise
engage in activity which shall knowingly cause positions in futures interests
to be attributed to the Trading Advisor under the rules or regulations of the
CFTC or any other regulatory body, exchange, or board so as to require the
significant modification of positions taken or intended for the account of the
Partnership; provided that the Trading Advisor may modify its Trading Program,
systems, methods or strategies to accommodate the trading of additional funds
or accounts.  If applicable speculative
position limits are exceeded by the Trading Advisor in the opinion of
(i) independent counsel (who shall be other than counsel to the
Partnership), (ii) the CFTC, or (iii) any other regulatory body,
exchange, or board, the Trading Advisor and its principals and affiliates shall
promptly liquidate positions in all of their accounts, including the
Partnership’s account, as to which positions are attributed to the Trading
Advisor as nearly as possible in proportion to the accounts’ respective amounts
available for trading (taking into account different degrees of leverage and
“notional” equity) to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable
position limits.

10.                                 Representations,

in the Registration Statement and Prospectus. 
The only principals (as defined in Rule 4.10(e) under the CEAct) of

been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the
Trading Advisor and is a valid and binding agreement of the Trading Advisor
enforceable in accordance with its terms.

delivery of this Agreement, the incurrence of the obligations set forth herein,
the consummation of the transactions contemplated

any federal, state, municipal or other governmental body or administrative

proceeding at law or in equity before or by any court or by any governmental
body or any administrative, self-regulatory or commodity exchange organization
to which the Trading Advisor or any Trading Advisor Principal is or was a
party, or to which any of the assets of the Trading Advisor or any Trading
Advisor Principal is or was subject and which resulted in or might reasonably
be expected to result in any material adverse change in the condition,

Advisor covenants and agrees that:

shall use its best efforts to maintain all registrations and memberships
necessary for the Trading Advisor to continue to act as described herein and to

agrees to participate, to the extent that the General Partner may reasonably

Advisor.  The Trading Advisor shall pay
the costs of its reasonably requested participation in such road shows.

(ii)           The Trading Advisor
has performed all of its obligations and satisfied all of the conditions on its
part to be performed or satisfied under this Agreement, at or prior to the date
of such closing.

(b)           To Morgan Stanley
DW, the General Partner and the Partnership an opinion of counsel to the
Trading Advisor in form and substance satisfactory to such parties, to the
effect that:

(i)            The Trading Advisor
is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation and is qualified to do business and in good
standing in each other jurisdiction in which the nature or conduct of its
business requires such qualification and the failure to be duly qualified would
materially adversely affect the Trading Advisor’s ability to perform its obligations
under this Agreement.  The Trading
Advisor has full corporate power and authority to conduct its business as
described in the Registration Statement and Prospectus and to perform its
obligations under this Agreement.

(ii)           The Trading Advisor
(including the Trading Advisor Principals) has all governmental, regulatory,
self-regulatory and commodity exchange and clearing association licenses,
registrations, and memberships required by law, and the Trading Advisor
(including the Trading Advisor Principals) has made all filings necessary to
perform its obligations under this Agreement and to conduct its business as
described in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, except for such
licenses, memberships, filings and registrations, the absence of which would
not have a material adverse effect on its ability to act as described in the
Registration Statement and Prospectus or to perform its obligations under this
Agreement, and, to the best of such counsel’s knowledge, after due
investigation, none of such licenses, memberships or registrations have been
rescinded, revoked or suspended.

(iii)          This Agreement has
been duly authorized, executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Trading
Advisor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Trading
Advisor, enforceable against the Trading Advisor in accordance with its terms,
subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
reorganization, moratorium, receivership or other laws relating to or affecting
creditors’ rights generally, and to general principles of equity (regardless of
whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity), and except
that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution
obligations and provisions (a) purporting to waive or limit rights to trial by
jury, oral amendments to written agreements or rights of set off or (b)
relating to submission to jurisdiction, venue or service of process, may be
limited by applicable law or considerations of public policy.

(iv)          To such counsel’s
knowledge, based upon due inquiry of certain officers of the Trading Advisor,
except as disclosed in the Prospectus, there are no actions, suits or
proceedings at law or in equity pending or threatened before or by any court,
governmental body, administrative agency, panel or self-regulatory
organization, nor have there been any such actions, suits or proceedings within
the five years preceding

 

-21-

 

the date of the
Prospectus against the Trading Advisor or any Trading Advisor Principal which
are required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement or Prospectus.

(v)           The execution and
delivery by the Trading Advisor of this Agreement, and the performance by the
Trading Advisor of its obligations hereunder and in the Prospectus (a) do
not require any Governmental Approval (as defined below) to be obtained on the
part of the Trading Advisor, except those that have been obtained and, to such
counsel’s knowledge, are in effect, (b) do not result in a violation of
any provision of the certificate or incorporation of bylaws of the Trading
Advisor or any Applicable Laws (as defined below) applicable to the Trading
Advisor, and (c) do not breach or result in a violation of, or default
under, (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or instrument
known by us to which the Trading Advisor or any of its subsidiaries is a party
or by which the Trading Advisor or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which
any of the property or assets of the Trading Advisor or any of its subsidiaries
is subject, or (ii) any judgment, decree or order known to such counsel
which is applicable to the Trading Advisor and, pursuant to any Applicable
Laws, is issued by any Governmental Authority (as defined below) having
jurisdiction over the Trading Advisor or its properties. “Applicable Laws”
means those laws, rules and regulations of the State of New York and of the
United States of America which, in such counsel’s experience, are normally
applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by this Agreement.  “Governmental Authorities” means executive,
legislative, judicial, administrative or regulatory bodies of the State of New
York or the United States of America. 
“Governmental Approval” means any consent, approval, license,
authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, any
Governmental Authority pursuant to Applicable Laws.

(vi)          Based upon reliance
of certain SEC “no-action” letters, as of the closing, the performance by the
Trading Advisor of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and as
described in the Prospectus will not require the Trading Advisor to be
registered as an “investment adviser” as that term is defined in the Investment
Advisors Act of 1940, as amended.

(vii)         Nothing has come to
such counsel’s attention that would lead them to believe that, (A) the
Registration Statement at the time it became effective, insofar as the Trading
Advisor and the Trading Advisor Principals are concerned, contained any untrue statement
of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or
(B) the Prospectus at the time it was issued or at the closing contained
an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein relating to the Trading
Advisor or the Trading Advisor Principals, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that
such counsel need express no opinion or belief as to the performance data and
notes or descriptions thereto set forth in the Registration Statement and
Prospectus, except that such counsel shall opine, without rendering any opinion
as to the accuracy of the information in such tables, that the actual
performance tables of the Trading Advisor set forth in the Prospectus comply as
to form in all material respects with applicable CFTC rules and all CFTC and
NFA interpretations thereof.

 

-22-

 

In giving the foregoing
opinion, counsel may rely on information obtained from public officials,
officers of the Trading Advisor, and other sources believed by it to be
responsible and may assume that signatures on all documents examined by it are
genuine.

(c)           To Morgan Stanley
DW, the General Partner and the Partnership, a report dated the date of the
closing that shall present, for the period from the date after the last day
covered by the historical performance capsules in the Prospectus to the latest
practicable day before closing, updated performance information, and which
shall certify that such information is, to the best of such Trading Advisor’s
knowledge, accurate in all material respects.

(2)           The General Partner shall, at the
Initial Closing, provide the following:

(a)           To the Trading
Advisor a certificate, dated the date of such closing and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trading Advisor, to the effect that:

(i)            The representations
and warranties by the Partnership and the General Partner in this Agreement are
true, accurate, and complete on and as of the date of the closing as if made on
the date of the closing.

(ii)           No stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued by
the SEC and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending
or, to the knowledge of the General Partner, are contemplated or threatened
under the Securities Act.  No order
preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus has been issued by the SEC,
NASD, CFTC, or NFA and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or
are pending or, to the knowledge of the General Partner, are contemplated or
threatened under the Securities Act or the CEAct.

(iii)          The Partnership and
the General Partner have performed all of their obligations and satisfied all
of the conditions on their part to be performed or satisfied under this
Agreement at or prior to the date of the closing.

(b)           To the parties
hereto, an opinion of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, counsel to the
General Partner and the Partnership, in form and substance satisfactory to such
parties, to the effect that:

(i)            The Partnership is
a limited partnership duly formed pursuant to the Certificate of Limited
Partnership, the Limited Partnership Agreement and the DRULPA and is validly
existing under the laws of the State of Delaware with full partnership power
and authority to conduct the business in which it proposes to engage as
described in the Registration Statement and Prospectus and to perform its
obligations under this Agreement; the Partnership has received a Certificate of
Authority as contemplated under the New York Revised Limited Partnership Act
and is qualified to do business in New York.

(ii)           The General Partner
is a corporation validly existing and in good standing as a corporation under
the laws of the State of Delaware and is duly qualified as a foreign
corporation to do business and is in good standing in the State of New York and
in each other jurisdiction in which the nature or conduct of its business
requires such

 

-23-

 

qualification and
the failure to so qualify might reasonably be expected to result in material
adverse consequences to the Partnership or the General Partner’s ability to
perform its obligations as described in the Registration Statement and
Prospectus.  The General Partner has
full corporate power and authority to conduct its business as described in the
Registration Statement and Prospectus and to perform its obligations under this
Agreement.

(iii)          The General
Partner, each of its principals as defined in Rule 3.1 under the CEAct,
and the Partnership have all federal and state governmental and regulatory
licenses, registrations and memberships required by law and have made all
filings necessary in order for the General Partner and the Partnership to
perform their obligations under this Agreement to conduct their business as
described in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, except for such licenses,
memberships, filings, and registrations, the absence of which would not have a
material adverse effect on the ability of the Partnership or the General
Partner to act as described in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, or to
perform their obligations under this Agreement, and, to the best of such
counsel’s knowledge, after due investigation, none of such licenses and
memberships or registrations have been rescinded, revoked or suspended.

(iv)          This Agreement and
the Limited Partnership Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by or on behalf of the General Partner and this Agreement has been
duly authorized, executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Partnership, and
each constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the General Partner
and/or the Partnership, as applicable, enforceable against the General Partner
and/or the Partnership, as applicable, in accordance with its terms, subject to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium,
receivership or other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights
generally, and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether
enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity), and except that the
enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution
obligations and provisions (a) purporting to waive or limit rights to
trial by jury, oral amendments to written agreements or rights of set off or
(b) relating to submission to jurisdiction, venue or service of process,
may be limited by applicable law or considerations of public policy.

(v)           The execution and
delivery by each of the General Partner and the Partnership of this Agreement,
the offer and sale of the Units by the Partnership and the performance by the
General Partner and the Partnership of its respective obligations hereunder and
in the Prospectus (a) do not require any Governmental Approval to be
obtained on the part of the General Partner or the Partnership, except those
that have been obtained and, to such counsel’s knowledge, are in effect,
(b) do not result in a violation of any provision of the General Partner’s
certificate of incorporation or bylaws, the Certificate of Limited Partnership
or the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership or any Applicable Laws
applicable to the General Partner and the Partnership, and (c) do not
breach or result in a violation of, or default under, (i) any indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or instrument known by us to which it or any
of its subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its subsidiaries is
bound or to which any of the property or assets of it or any of its
subsidiaries is subject, or (ii) any

 

-24-

 

judgment, decree
or order known to such counsel which is applicable to the General Partner or
the Partnership and, pursuant to any Applicable Laws, is issued by any
Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it or its properties.

(vi)          To such counsel’s
knowledge, based upon due inquiry of certain officers of the General Partner,
except as disclosed in the Prospectus, there are no actions, suits or
proceedings at law or in equity pending or threatened before or by any court,
governmental body, administrative agency, panel or self-regulatory
organization, nor have there been any such actions, suits or proceedings within
the five years preceding the date of the Prospectus against the General Partner
or the Partnership which are required to be disclosed in the Registration
Statement or Prospectus.

(vii)         The Registration
Statement is effective under the Securities Act and, to the best of such
counsel’s knowledge, no proceedings for a stop order are pending or threatened
under Section 8(d) of the Securities Act or any similar state securities laws.

(viii)        At the time the
Registration Statement became effective, the Registration Statement, and at the
time the Prospectus was issued and as of the closing, the Prospectus, complied
as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities
Act, the Securities Regulations, the CEAct and the regulations of the NFA and
NASD.

(ix)           Based upon reliance
on certain SEC “no-action” letters, as of the closing, the performance by the
Partnership of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and as described
in the Prospectus will not require the Partnership to register as an
“investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(x)            Nothing has come to
such counsel’s attention that would lead them to believe that the Registration
Statement at the time it became effective contained any untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the
Prospectus at the time it was issued or at the closing contained an untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
where made, not misleading; provided, however, that Cadwalader, Wickersham
& Taft LLP need express no opinion or belief (a) as to information in
the Registration Statement or the Prospectus regarding any Trading Advisor or
its principals, or (b) as to the financial statements, notes thereto and
other financial or statistical data set forth in the Registration Statement and
Prospectus, or (c) as to the performance data and notes or descriptions
thereto set forth in the Registration Statement and Prospectus.

(xi)           The General Partner
and its “principals,” as defined in CFTC Rule 3.1(a), and the Partnership
have all federal and state governmental, regulatory, self-regulatory and
exchange approvals, licenses, registrations, and memberships, and have effected
all filings with federal and state governmental regulators, self-regulatory
organizations and exchanges required to conduct their business and to act as
described in the Prospectus, or required to perform their obligations under
this Agreement and the

 

-25-

 

Limited
Partnership Agreement, except for such approvals, licenses, registrations,
memberships, and filings the absence of which would not have a material adverse
effect on their ability to act as described in the Prospectus, or to perform
their obligations under such agreements, and, to the best of such counsel’s
knowledge, after due investigation, none of such approvals, licenses,
registrations, memberships, or filings has been rescinded, revoked, or
suspended.

(xii)          The information in
the Prospectus under the captions “Summary of the Prospectus—Tax
Considerations,” “Risk Factors—Taxation and Regulatory Risks,” “Purchases by
Employee Benefit Plans—ERISA Considerations,” “Material Federal Income Tax
Considerations,” “State and Local Income Tax Aspects,” and “The Limited
Partnership Agreements,” to the extent that such information constitutes
matters of law or legal conclusions, has been reviewed by such counsel and is
correct.

(xiii)         The Limited
Partnership Agreement provides for the subscription for and sale of the Units;
all action required to be taken by the General Partner and the Partnership as a
condition to the subscription for and sale of the Units to qualified
subscribers therefor has been taken; and, upon payment of the consideration
therefor specified in the accepted Subscription and Exchange Agreement and
Power of Attorney, the Units will constitute valid limited partnership
interests in the Partnership and each subscriber who purchases Units will
become a Limited Partner, subject to the requirement that each such purchaser
shall have duly completed, executed and delivered to the Partnership a
Subscription and Exchange Agreement and Power of Attorney relating to the Units
purchased by such purchaser, that such purchaser meets all applicable suitability
standards and that the representations and warranties of such purchaser in the
Subscription and Exchange Agreement and Power of Attorney are true and correct
and that such purchaser is included as a Limited Partner in the Partnership’s
records.

In rendering its opinion,
such counsel may rely on information obtained from public officials, officers
of the General Partner and other sources believed by it to be responsible and
may assume that signatures on all documents examined by it are genuine, and that
a Subscription and Exchange Agreement and Power of Attorney in the form
attached to the Prospectus has been duly authorized, completed, dated,
executed, and delivered and funds representing the full subscription price for
the Units purchased have been delivered by each purchaser of Units in
accordance with the requirements set forth in the Prospectus.

18.                                 Inconsistent Filings.

The Trading Advisor
agrees not to file, participate in the filing of, or publish any description of
the Trading Advisor, or of its respective principals or trading approaches that
is materially inconsistent with those in the Registration Statement and
Prospectus, without so informing the General Partner and furnishing to it
copies of all such filings within a reasonable period prior to the date of
filing or publication.

1.                                       Futures Trade Execution through Clearing
Commodity Broker:

·        
When
placing orders for futures trades with the clearing commodity broker designated
in this Agreement or by the General Partner (the “Clearing Commodity Broker”),
the Trading Advisor must follow the Clearing Commodity Broker’s order entry
procedures, of which the Trading Advisor has been advised.

·        
For
futures trades at exchanges where give-up execution is not allowed, the Trading
Advisor must use the execution facilities provided by the Clearing Commodity
Broker.

·        
The
Partnership will not incur an execution service fee from the Clearing Commodity
Broker when the Trading Advisor uses the Clearing Commodity Broker’s execution
facilities.

2.                                       FX Trade Execution through FX
Counterparties:

3.                                       “Give-Up” Futures Trade Execution:

Broker”) that directly gives the futures trade to the Clearing Commodity Broker
for such clearance, and in an amount not greater than the amount permitted by
the General Partner from time to time (the “Execution Allowance”).  The Execution Allowance shall be based on
the General Partner’s assessment for prevailing competitive rates for Give-Up
Fees.

 

 

·        
Give-Up
Fee bills in amounts up to the Execution Allowance will be processed by the
Clearing Commodity Broker, with notice provided to the Trading Advisor.  To the extent that such bills will be
greater than the Execution Allowance, the Trading Advisor will obtain the prior
written consent of the General Partner.

requested by the General Partner to verify the Give-Up Fees processed by the
Clearing Commodity Broker.

trades not executed by, and subsequently given-up to, the Clearing Commodity
Broker, and shall be responsible for ensuring that the Executing Broker(s)
transmit such futures trades to the Clearing Commodity Broker for clearance
within a timely basis.

·        
The
Trading Advisor shall be responsible for daily checkout of all of the
Partnership’s futures, options, and FX Trades. 
Such checkout shall be administered according to the procedures set
forth by the Clearing Commodity Broker’s and/or FX Counterparty’s designated
checkout area, of which the Trading Advisor has been advised.

·        
The
Trading Advisor shall be responsible for trade reconciliation and account
balancing with the Clearing Commodity Broker and/or FX Counterparty’s
designated trade reconciliation area.

Trading Advisor shall report to the General Partner any incorrect settlement
and/or closing price of which it becomes aware with regard to the Clearing

Trading Advisor shall be responsible for the conversion of foreign currency
balances to U.S. dollars.  The Trading
Advisor may, at its discretion, place such foreign currency conversion trades
as may be necessary.  Such trades must
be executed with such party as the General Partner may, from time to time,
specifically designate, or otherwise with either of the Clearing Commodity
Broker or FX Counterparty as the Trading Advisor ay prefer.  Conversion trades should be verified in the
Trading Advisor’s daily checkout, account balancing, and reconciliation
procedures.

8.                                       Monitoring of Delivery Periods, Option
Expirations and Trade Settlement:

·        
The
Trading Advisor shall be responsible for monitoring first notice (delivery)
dates, last trading dates, option expiration dates, and forward settlement
and/or maturity dates.  The Trading
Advisor shall also take appropriate steps to ensure that it has exited
positions prior to delivery, expiration and settlement.  With regard to option positions, the Trading
Advisor must, in a timely fashion, communicate to the Clearing Commodity
Broker’s and/or FX Counterparty’s designated area proper notice of its
intentions regarding all such open positions that are due to expire.

9.                                       Trading Errors:

·        
The
Trading Advisor must inform the General Partner and Clearing Commodity Broker
of any such occasion in which trades are placed in error.  The provisions of Section 2(d) of this
Agreement shall be interpreted to mean that the benefit of profitable trading
errors made by the Trading Advisor when trading on behalf of the Trading
Company shall be awarded to the Partnership, whereas the detriment of
unprofitable trading errors made by the Trading Advisor when trading on behalf
of the Partnership must be borne by the Trading Advisor.
