herein contained, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby
agree as follows:

         1. The Company does hereby open this Escrow Account and Escrow Agent's
sole concern and duties shall be as specifically set forth herein:

                  (a) From time to time during the course of this Escrow
         Agreement, in connection with the Company's offering (the "Offering")
         of up to 2,000,000,000 units of Limited Partnership Interests on a
         "best efforts" basis (the "Units"), the Escrow Agent will receive
         deposits from subscribers (either directly via wire transfer from the
         subscribers, or indirectly, from the Subscription Agent) to be held in
         Escrow in accordance with the terms hereof and the Mellon Global Cash
         Management Terms and Conditions. All such funds received by the Escrow
         Agent shall be placed into an account entitled "Rogers International
         Raw Materials Fund, L.P.", account number 043-9355 (the "Escrow
         Account").

                  (b) Upon the written authorization from the Company (which
         authorization will not be given until a minimum of $5,000,000 has been
         placed in the Escrow Account on or before December 15, 2001), the
         Escrow Agent shall disburse to the Company all available funds,
         provided such authorization is reasonable and in accordance with the
         Escrow Agent's customary and then current procedures. Thereafter,
         during the term of the Offering, the Escrow Agent shall continue to so
         receive and hold in escrow any funds received from subscribers, which
         funds shall be disbursed at such times as described in a written
         authorization to the Escrow Agent from the Company, and without any
         other

<Page>

         condition, provided such authorization is reasonable and in
         accordance with the Escrow Agent's customary and then current
         procedures.

                  (c) If the minimum of $5,000,000 is not sold by December 15,
         2001 (or the offering of the Shares is otherwise terminated prior to
         the initial closing), the Escrow Agent shall, upon receipt of written
         instruction of the Company, promptly disburse the funds held in the
         Escrow Account to the Company (or to the Subscription Agent if so
         directed by the Company) for refund to the subscribers. The Escrow
         Agent shall not have an obligation to verify any minimum amount or
         date, if written instructions are received from the Company.

                  (d) With respect solely to funds received from subscribers and
         deposited in the Escrow Account on or prior to September ___, 2001, the
         Escrow Agent shall, upon receipt of written instruction of the Company,
         promptly disburse such funds held in the Escrow Account to the Company
         (or to the Subscription Agent if so directed by the Company) for refund
         to the subscribers. The Company will authorize the disbursement for
         refund of all funds received on or prior to September ___, 2001 from
         subscribers who have not executed and delivered to the Company or the
         Subscription Agent on or prior to September 30, 2001, written
         confirmation of their intent to invest in the units. The Escrow Agent
         shall not have any obligation to verify any date or the receipt of
         proper confirmation from any subscriber, if written instructions are
         received from the Company.

                  (e) Upon termination of the Offering, which in any event shall
         occur not later than December 31, 2002, all amounts theretofore
         undistributed shall be distributed to the Company upon the instructions
         of the Company and this Escrow Account shall close as directed by the
         Company and be consummated in its entirety.

         2. The Company authorizes the Subscription Agent to deposit funds into
the Escrow Account on behalf of the Company, including by wire transfer. The
Company authorizes the Escrow Agent to provide any and all information
pertaining to the Escrow Account to the Subscription Agent provided such
information is reasonably requested and can be provided in accordance with
Escrow Agent's customary and then current procedures.

         3. All parties understand and are aware that all funds received during
the course of the Escrow and deposited in the Escrow Account must be available
prior to the release of any funds.

         4. Neither the Escrow Agent nor any of its officers, directors,
employees, representatives, agents or affiliates shall be (i) liable to the
Company or Subscription Agent for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the
Escrow Agent with respect to the Escrow Account at the direction of the
Subscription Agent (except for the Escrow Agent's own willful misconduct); or
(ii) responsible in any manner to the Company or Subscription Agent or any other
party for the compliance by the Subscription Agent with any representations,
warranties, undertakings or agreements made by the Subscription Agent through or
in connection with any agreement between the Subscription Agent or the Company,
or for any failure of the Subscription Agent or any of its officers to perform
its obligations in accordance therewith. The

Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely and shall have no liability for such
reliance, upon any writing, resolution, consent, certificate, letter, facsimile,
statement or other document or conversation with the Subscription Agent believed
by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and correct to have been signed, sent or made
by the proper person or persons selected by the Subscription Agent. The Company
hereby waives any claims it may have against the Escrow Agent or any of its
officers, directors, representatives, agents or affiliates and indemnifies and
agrees to hold the Escrow Agent and its officers, directors, employees,
representatives, agents or affiliates harmless from and against any and all
liabilities, costs, expenses, demands or claims of or by the Company or any
other person resulting from or arising out of or in connection with the Escrow
Agent's actions or refraining from acting in accordance with the request and
direction of the Subscription Agent.

         5. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, the
Escrow Agent, including its officers, directors, employees, representatives,
agents or affiliates, shall:

             (a) not be liable for any action taken or omitted under this

         parties hereto, and shall be entitled to rely upon the genuineness of
         the signatures of such signatories without inquiry and without
         requiring substantiating evidence of any kind;

             (d) be entitled to refrain from taking any action contemplated by
         this Agreement in the event that it becomes aware of any disagreement
         between the parties hereto as to any facts or as to the happening of
         any contemplated event precedent to such action;

             (e) have no responsibility or liability for any diminution in value

         which may be incurred by it as a result of its acceptance of the Escrow
         Account or arising from the performance of its duties hereunder, unless
         such losses, liabilities, costs and expenses shall have been finally
         adjudicated to having resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or

         Agreement;

             (i) in the event that (i) any dispute shall arise between the
         parties with respect to the disposition or disbursement of any of the
         assets held hereunder or (ii) the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to

         with respect to such interpleaded assets. The parties hereto other than
         the Escrow Agent further agree to pursue any redress or recourse in
         connection with such a dispute, without making the Escrow Agent a party
         to same;

         connection herewith. This Agreement sets forth all matters pertinent to

         addressed and delivered to the Escrow Agent;

             (l) have the right to perform any of its duties hereunder through
