I will, at the request of the Transfer Agent, furnish the Transfer Agent with such information as the Transfer Agent may reasonably require to establish that the purchase of the Units by the Plan does not violate any provision of ERISA or the Code, including without limitation, those provisions relating to “prohibited transactions” by “parties in interest” or “disqualified persons” as defined therein.

If Purchaser’s Subscription Agreement is accepted, Purchaser agrees to contribute Purchaser’s subscription to the Class of Units subscribed for and to accept the terms of the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Fund, as amended from time to time (the “Partnership Agreement”), attached as Exhibit A to the Prospectus. Purchaser agrees to reimburse the Fund and MA Capital Management, LLC (the “General Partner”), as general partner, for any expense or loss incurred as a result of the cancellation of Purchaser’s Units due to a failure of Purchaser to deliver good funds in the amount of the subscription price. By execution of the Subscription Agreement, Purchaser shall be deemed to accept and agree to the terms of the Partnership Agreement as if Purchaser had executed the Partnership Agreement. As an inducement to the General Partner to accept this subscription, Purchaser (for the Purchaser and, if Purchaser is an entity, on behalf of and with respect to each of purchaser’s shareholders, partners, members or beneficiaries), by executing and delivering Purchaser’s Subscription Agreement, represents and warrants to the General Partner, the clearing brokers, the selling agent who solicited Purchaser’s subscription and the Fund, as follows: (a) Purchaser is of legal age to execute the Subscription Agreement and is legally competent to do so. (b) Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser has received a copy of the Prospectus, including the Partnership Agreement. (c) All information that Purchaser has furnished to the General Partner or that is set forth in the Subscription Agreement submitted by Purchaser is correct and complete as of the date of such Subscription Agreement, and if there should be any change in such information prior to acceptance of Purchaser’s subscription, Purchaser will immediately furnish such revised or corrected information to the General Partner. (d) Unless (e) or (f) below is applicable, Purchaser’s subscription is made with Purchaser’s funds for Purchaser’s own account and not as trustee, custodian or nominee for another. (e) The subscription, if made as custodian for a minor, is a gift Purchaser has made to such minor and is not made with such minor’s funds or, if not a gift, the representations as to net worth and annual income set forth below apply only to such minor. (f) If Purchaser is an entity, the person signing the Subscription Agreement is duly authorized to do so and such entity has full power and authority to purchase such Units and enter into and accept the terms of the Subscription Agreement and become a limited partner of the Fund. (g) Purchaser either is not required to be registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) or to be a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”) or if required to be so registered is duly registered with the CFTC and is a member in good standing of the NFA. (h) Purchaser represents and warrants that Purchaser has (i) a net worth of at least $250,000 (exclusive of home, furnishings and automobiles) or (ii) an annual gross income of at least $70,000 and a net worth (similarly calculated) of at least $70,000. Residents of certain states indicated below must meet the requirements set forth below (net worth in all cases is exclusive of home, furnishings and automobiles). In addition, Purchaser may not invest more than 10% of his net worth (exclusive of home, furnishings and automobiles) in the Fund. (i) If the Purchaser is acting on behalf of a trust (a “Limited Partner Trust”), the individual signing the Subscription Agreement on behalf of the Limited Partner Trust hereby further represents and warrants that an investment in the Fund is permitted under the trust agreement of the Limited Partner Trust, and that the undersigned is authorized to act on behalf of the Limited Partner Trust under the trust agreement thereof.

Residents of the following states must meet the requirements set forth below (net worth in all cases is exclusive of home, furnishings and automobiles).

6. Minnesota — By executing the Subscription Agreement of the Fund, a Minnesota Purchaser is deemed to represent and warrant to the Fund that such person is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933. An accredited investor includes: (1) any natural person whose individual net worth, or joint net worth with that person’s spouse, at the time of such person’s purchase of the Units exceeds $1,000,000 (excluding the value of such person’s residence); or (2) any natural person who had individual income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years, or joint income with that person’s spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those years, and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year. For purposes of determining the value of the primary residence to be excluded from net worth, such person should exclude any net equity in his or her primary residence (i.e., the amount by which the current market value of the residence exceeds the current outstanding balance of any mortgage or other indebtedness secured by the residence). If the current outstanding balance of any such mortgage or other indebtedness exceeds the current market value of the residence, the amount of any such excess shall cause a reduction in such person’s net worth. If the current outstanding balance of such mortgage exceeds the amount outstanding 60 days before the proposed subscription date (other than as a result of the acquisition of the such person’s primary residence), the amount of such excess shall cause a reduction in such person’s net worth.”
