ADVISORY AGREEMENT

 

THIS ADVISORY AGREEMENT
(the “Agreement”), made as of this 25th day of March 2010, among NETS GLOBAL
HORIZONS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), BLACKROCK
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the manager
of the Company (the “Manager”), and NUWAVE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT LLC (the “Trading
Advisor”);

 

W  I  T  N  E
S  S  E  T  H:

 

WHEREAS, the Company
trades, buys, sells or otherwise acquires, holds or disposes of forward
contracts, futures contracts for commodities, financial instruments and
currencies on United States and foreign exchanges, any rights pertaining
thereto and any options thereon or on physical commodities and engages in all
activities incident thereto (the foregoing forms of investment being
collectively referred to herein as “commodity interests”);

 

WHEREAS, the sole holder
of interests in the Company as of the date hereof, BlackRock Global Horizons I,
LP (the “Fund”), is now offering Units of Limited Partnership Interest in the
Fund (“Units”) for sale to investors in an offering exempt from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof
and Rule 506 under Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as described in
the Fund’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum (the “Memorandum”) that
has been filed with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”) and
the National Futures Association (the “NFA”) pursuant to the Commodity Exchange
Act, as amended (the “CEA”), the commodity pool operator and commodity trading
advisor regulations promulgated under the CEA by the CFTC (the “Commodity
Regulations”), and NFA rules promulgated under the CEA (the “NFA Rules”);

 

WHEREAS, the Fund had
previously sold Units publicly pursuant to an effective registration under the
1933 Act.  Such public offering was
discontinued in 1998, and the Units now being offered are the same class of
equity securities as the outstanding Units;

 

WHEREAS, the Trading
Advisor is engaged in the business of, among other things, making trading
decisions on behalf of investors in the purchase and sale of certain commodity
interests; and

 

WHEREAS, the Company
desires the Trading Advisor, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, to
act as a trading advisor for the Company and to make commodity interests
investment decisions for the Company with respect to the Company’s assets from
time to time, and the Trading Advisor desires to so act;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the
parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Undertakings in Connection with Offering
of Units.

 

(a)                                  Undertakings by the Trading Advisor. 
The Trading Advisor agrees to use its best efforts to cooperate with the
Fund and the Manager in amending the Memorandum, including without limitation
by providing, as promptly as may be reasonably practicable, all information (if
any) regarding the Trading Advisor and its principals which the Manager 

 

1

 

reasonably believes to be necessary or advisable to
include in the Memorandum, as the same may be amended from time to time;
provided, that nothing herein shall require the Trading Advisor to disclose any
proprietary or confidential information related to its trading programs,
systems or strategies or to its clients.

 

(b)                                 Certain Defined Terms. 
As used in this Agreement, the term “principal” shall have the same
meaning given to such term in Section 4.10(e) of the Commodity
Regulations, and the term “affiliate” shall mean an individual or entity
(including a stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent, or principal)
that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common
control with any other individual or entity. 
Other terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to
them in the Memorandum.

 

(c)                                  Use of Memorandum and Other Solicitation
Material.  Neither the Trading Advisor, its principals
nor any of its employees, affiliates or agents, the employees, affiliates or
agents of such affiliates, or their respective successors or assigns shall use,
publish, circulate or distribute the Memorandum (including any amendment or
supplement thereto) or any related solicitation material nor shall any of the
foregoing engage in any marketing, sales or promotional activities in
connection with the offering of Units, except as may be requested by the
Manager and agreed to by the Trading Advisor.

 

(d)                                 Updated Performance Information. 
At any time while Units continue to be offered and sold, at the written
request of the Fund or the Manager, the Trading Advisor, at its own expense,
shall promptly provide the Fund and the Manager with complete and accurate
performance information (in form and substance consistent with Section 4.35
of the Commodity Regulations and the NFA Rules) reflecting the actual
performance of the accounts directed by the Trading Advisor up to the latest
practicable date (consistent with Section 4.35 of the Commodity
Regulations) prior to the date of the Memorandum as amended or supplemented,
together with any reports or letters relating to such performance data received
from accountants and in the possession of the Trading Advisor.

 

(e)                                  Access to Books and Records. 
Upon reasonable notice to the Trading Advisor, the Company or the
Manager shall have the right to have access to the Trading Advisor’s offices in
order to inspect and copy such books and records during normal business hours
as may enable them to verify the accuracy and completeness of or to supplement
as necessary the data furnished by the Trading Advisor pursuant to Section l(d) of
this Agreement or to verify compliance with the terms of this Agreement
(subject to such restrictions as the Trading Advisor may reasonably deem
necessary or advisable so as to preserve the confidentiality of proprietary
information concerning such trading systems, methods, models, strategies and
formulas and of the identity of the Trading Advisor’s clients).

 

2.                                       Duties of the Trading Advisor.

 

(a)                                  Speculative Trading. 
As of the date of this Agreement, the Trading Advisor acts as a trading
advisor for the Company.  The Trading
Advisor and the Company agree that in acting as trading advisor for the
Company, the Trading Advisor shall utilize its Combined Futures Portfolio (2x)
Program  (the “Program”) as described in the
Trading Advisor’s Disclosure Document dated September 30, 2009 (the “Disclosure
Document”).  The Trading Advisor may
trade a different portfolio for the Company only with the consent of the
Manager.  

 

2

 

Except as provided otherwise in this Section 2,
the Trading Advisor shall have sole and exclusive authority and responsibility
for directing the investment and reinvestment of the Company’s assets utilizing
the Programs pursuant to and in accordance with the Trading Advisor’s best
judgment and its approach as described in the Disclosure Document, and as
refined and modified from time to time in the future in accordance herewith,
for the period and on the terms and conditions set forth herein.  Only those individuals employed by the
Trading Advisor and listed in Appendix A, as amended from time to time, are
permitted to implement trades for the Company. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or the Manager may override
the trading instructions of the Trading Advisor to the extent necessary:  (i) to fund any distributions or
redemptions of Units to be made by the Fund; (ii) to pay the Company’s or
the Fund’s expenses; and/or (iii) to comply with speculative position
limits; provided that the Company and the Manager shall permit the Trading Advisor
three days in which to liquidate positions for the purposes set forth in
clauses (i)-(ii) prior to exercising its override authority.  The Trading Advisor will have no liability
for the results of any of the Manager’s interventions in (i)-(ii), above.

 

The Company and the
Manager both specifically acknowledge that in agreeing to direct the investment
and reinvestment of the Company’s assets, the Trading Advisor is not making any
guarantee of profits or of protections against loss.

 

The Trading Advisor shall
give the Company and the Manager prompt written notice of any proposed material
change in the Program or the manner in which trading decisions are to be made
or implemented and shall not make any such proposed material change with
respect to trading for the Company without having given the Company and the
Manager at least 30 days’ prior written notice of such change.  The addition and/or deletion of commodity
interests from the Company’s portfolio managed by the Trading Advisor shall not
be deemed a change in the Trading Advisor’s trading approach and prior written
notice to the Company or the Manager shall not be required therefor, except as
set forth in section 2(b) below; provided that, with respect to the
Company, the Trading Advisor may trade a different trading program in directing
the investment and reinvestment of the Company’s assets only with the consent
of the Manager.

 

(b)                                 List of Commodity Interests Traded by the
Trading Advisor.  The Trading Advisor shall provide the Company
and the Manager with a complete list of commodity interests which it intends to
trade on the Company’s behalf.  All
commodity interests other than regulated futures contracts and options on
regulated futures contracts traded on a qualified board or exchange in the
United States shall be listed on Appendix B to this Agreement.  The addition of commodity interests (other
than forward contracts on foreign currencies) to the Company’s portfolio
managed by the Trading Advisor as set forth in Appendix B to this Agreement
shall require prior written notice to the Company or the Manager and an
amendment to Appendix B.

 

(c)                                  Investment of Assets Held in Securities
and Cash.  Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, the Company and the Manager, and not the Trading
Advisor, shall have the sole and exclusive authority and responsibility with
regard to the investment, maintenance and management of the Company’s assets
other than in respect of the Trading Advisor’s trading of the Company’s assets
in commodity interests.

 

3

 

(d)                                 Trading Authorization. 
Prior to the Company’s acceptance of trading advice from the Trading
Advisor in accordance with this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to the
Trading Advisor a trading authorization in the form of Appendix C hereto
appointing the Trading Advisor as an agent of the Company and attorney-in-fact
for such purpose.

 

(e)                                  Delivery of Disclosure Documents. 
The Trading Advisor shall, during the term of this Agreement, deliver to
the Company copies of all updated disclosure documents for the Program promptly
following preparation of such disclosure documents, and the Manager on behalf
of the Company shall, if requested, sign the Acknowledgment of Receipt of
Disclosure Document in the form of Appendix D hereto, for the initial
disclosure document so delivered.

 

(f)                                    Trade Reconciliations. 
The Trading Advisor acknowledges its obligation to review its commodity
interest positions on a daily basis and to notify the Company and the Manager
promptly of any errors committed by the Trading Advisor or any trade which the
Trading Advisor believes was not executed in accordance with its instructions
and which cannot be promptly resolved. The Trading Advisor will use its own
systems to evaluate trade and portfolio information until it receives the
necessary information from the Company, upon which time the Trading Advisor
will use the information from the Company to evaluate the trade and portfolio
information.

 

(g)                                 Trade Information.  
The Trading Advisor shall use reasonable efforts to provide trade
information to OMR Systems by electronic file by 4:30 p.m. on the date of
any trade made on behalf of the Company.

 

3.                                       Trading Advisor Independent. 
For all purposes of this Agreement, the Trading Advisor shall be deemed
to be an independent contractor and shall have no authority to act for or
represent the Company in any way and shall not otherwise be deemed to be an
agent of the Company.  Nothing contained herein
shall create or constitute the Trading Advisor and any other trading advisor
for the Company, the Fund or the Manager as a member of any partnership, joint
venture, association, syndicate, unincorporated business or other separate
entity, nor shall 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.  The parties
acknowledge that the Trading Advisor has not been an organizer or promoter of
the Fund.

 

4.                                       Commodity Broker; Floor Brokers.

 

(a)                                  Clearing of All Trades. 
The Trading Advisor shall clear orders for all commodity interest
transactions for the Company through such commodity broker or brokers as the
Company shall designate from time to time in its sole discretion (the “Clearing
Broker”).  The Trading Advisor will not,
without the consent of the Manager, trade on a “give up” basis through floor
brokers not associated with the Clearing Broker.  The Manager will review and approve or
disapprove all executing brokers proposed by the Trading Advisor for the
Company’s account.  The Manager agrees
that it will only disapprove a proposed executing broker suggested by the
Trading Advisor for cause and that, if an executing broker is approved, the
Company will not hold the Trading Advisor liable for any error or breach of
contract by any such executing broker, barring negligence, misconduct or bad
faith on the part of the Trading Advisor. 
Even if such floor brokers receive the Manager’s consent to execute
trades on behalf of the Company, all such trades will be “given-up” to be
carried by the Clearing Broker.  The
Trading Advisor shall 

 

4

 

receive copies of all daily and monthly brokerage
statements for the Company directly from the Clearing Broker.

 

The parties acknowledge
that the Trading Advisor has no authority or responsibility for selecting a
commodity broker or dealers or for the negotiation of brokerage commission
rates.  If necessary for the Trading Advisor
to trade pursuant to the Program, the Company shall provide adequate dealing
lines of credit for the Trading Advisor to place orders for spot and forward
currency contracts on behalf of the Company.

 

(b)                                 Forward Trading. 
All forward trades for the Company shall be executed through the forward
dealer(s) (which may be affiliates of the Manager) designated by the Manager,
provided that at the request of the Trading Advisor, the Manager may consent to
some other forward trading arrangement, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.  The Trading Advisor shall use
such other banks or dealers only for what the Trading Advisor, in good faith,
believes to be good cause.

 

(c)                                  Floor Brokerage. 
Notwithstanding Section 4(a) of this Agreement, the Trading
Advisor may place orders for commodity interest transactions for the Company
through floor brokers selected by the Trading Advisor, and approved by the
Manager, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.  Such floor brokers shall “give up” all trades
on behalf the Company to the Clearing Broker for clearance.

 

The brokerage and floor
commissions, “give-up” fees and other transaction costs charged by any floor
broker to effect Company transactions shall be subject to the approval of the
Manager, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld provided that such fees
and transaction costs are competitive with the Clearing Broker’s standard
rates.

 

5.                                       Allocation of Company Assets to Trading
Advisor; Allocation of Receipts and Charges.

 

(a)                                  The Manager has allocated a portion of
the Fund’s assets to the Company to be managed in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.  The Manager may, in its
sole discretion, reallocate Fund assets by contributing to or withdrawing
amounts from the Company as of any month-end.

 

(b)                                 Gains and receipts (e.g., trading profits
and, in some instances, interest income) and losses and charges (e.g., trading
losses, Trading Advisor management fees, incentive fees and brokerage
commissions) specific to the Company shall be allocated entirely to the
Company.  Gains and receipts and losses
and charges not specific to (i) the Company or (ii) any other company
or account held by the Fund and managed by a specific trading advisor, shall be
allocated among all of the companies and accounts of the Fund managed by the
different trading advisors, including the Company, pro rata
based on the beginning of month value of each such company and account after
reduction for account specific charges. 
The value of the Company after taking into account all realized and
unrealized gains and losses is the Company’s “Mark-to-Market Value.”

 

(c)                                  The value of the Company determined by
deducting from the Company’s Mark-to-Market Value all charges and reserves
(including but not limited to certain charges 

 

5

 

specific to the Company, the Company’s pro rata share
of Fund distribution fees, transfer agent fees, administrator’s fees, brokerage
commissions and the Manager’s Sponsor Fee) except any charges or accruals for
the fees provided for in Section 6 is the Company’s “Net Asset Value
Before Fees.”

 

6.                                       Fees.

 

(a)                                  Management Fee. 
By approximately ten business days of each calendar month-end, the
Company will pay the Trading Advisor a Management Fee equal to [         ]* of the Company’s month-end Net Asset Value Before
Fees.  The resulting balance after
payment of the Management Fee is the Company’s “Post MF Net Asset Value.”  The Company’s balance after any further
reduction for the Incentive Fee provided for in Section 6(b) is the
Company’s “Net Asset Value.”

 

(b)                                 Incentive Fee.

 

(i)                                             The Company will pay to the Trading
Advisor, [                ]*
(“Incentive Fee Calculation Date”), an Incentive Fee equal to [     ]* of any New Trading Profit recognized by the Company as of
such Incentive Fee Calculation Date.

 

(ii)                                          Subject to the adjustments contemplated
below, New Trading Profit equals any increase in the Mark-to-Market Value of
the Company as of the current Incentive Fee Calculation Date over the High
Water Mark attributable to the Company.  [                ]*.

 

(iii)                                       The High Water Mark attributable to the
Company shall be equal to the highest Net Asset Value of the Company (for
avoidance of doubt, after reduction for the Incentive Fee then paid), as of any
preceding Incentive Fee Calculation Date. 
The High Water Mark shall be increased dollar-for-dollar by any capital
allocated to the Company and decreased proportionately when capital is
reallocated away from the Company (other than to pay expenses).  The proportionate reduction made as a result
of a reallocation shall be calculated by multiplying the High Water Mark in
effect immediately prior to such reallocation by the fraction the numerator of
which is the Net Asset Value of the Company immediately following such
reallocation and the denominator of which is the Net Asset Value of the Company
immediately before such reallocation.

 

(iv)                                      If an Incentive Fee is paid as of an
Incentive Fee Calculation Date, the High Water Mark is reset to the Net Asset
Value of the Company immediately following such payment.

 

(v)                                         When there is an accrued Incentive Fee at
the time any reallocation from the Company is made, the Incentive Fee
attributable to such reallocation will be paid. 
Such Incentive Fee shall be determined by multiplying the Incentive Fee
that would have been paid had the date of the reallocation been an Incentive
Fee Calculation Date by the fraction the numerator of which is the amount of
the reallocation and the denominator of which is the Post 

 

* Confidential material redacted and filed separately with the
Commission.

 

6

 

MF Net Asset Value of the Company immediately prior to
the reallocation, in each case prior to reduction for the accrued Incentive
Fee.  Such Incentive Fee will be paid
from and reduce the amount of the reallocation.

 

(vi)                                      Interest income shall not be included in
any of the foregoing calculations.  For
the avoidance of doubt, no Incentive Fee shall be payable on any interest
income earned by the Company.

 

(vii)                                   Termination of this Agreement shall be
treated as an Incentive Fee Calculation Date.

 

7.                                       Term and Termination.

 

(a)                                  Term and Renewal. 
This Agreement shall continue in effect until December 31,
2010.  Thereafter, this Agreement shall
be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods, on the same terms,
unless terminated by either the Trading Advisor or the Company upon 90 days’
notice to the other party.

 

(b)                                 Termination. 
Notwithstanding Section 7(a) hereof, this Agreement shall
terminate:

 

(i)                                             immediately if the Company shall
terminate and be dissolved in accordance with the Limited Liability Company
Agreement or otherwise;

 

(ii)                                          at the discretion of the Manager as of
the end of any month;

 

(iii)                                       at the discretion of the Trading Advisor,
as of the following month-end, should any of the following occur:  (1) the assets managed by the Trading
Advisor decrease to less than $5,000,000 at the close of business on any day;
or (2) the Trading Advisor has determined to cease managing any customer
accounts pursuant to the Program; or

 

(iv)                                      at the discretion of the Trading Advisor
as of the end of any month upon 90 days’ prior written notice to the Manager.

 

8.                                       Right to Advise Others; Uniformity of
Acts and Practices.

 

(a)                                  During the term of this Agreement, the
Trading Advisor and its affiliates shall be free to advise other investors as
to the purchase and sale of commodity interests, to manage and trade other
investors’ commodity interests accounts and to trade for and on behalf of their
own proprietary commodity interests accounts. 
However, under no circumstances shall the Trading Advisor or any of its
affiliates favor any commodity interests account directed by any of them
(regardless of the date on which they began or shall begin to direct such
account) over the Company’s account, giving due consideration to the trading
program which the Manager has requested the Trading Advisor to trade on behalf
of the Company.  For purposes of this
Agreement, the Trading Advisor and its affiliates shall not be deemed to be
favoring another commodity interests account over the Company’s account if the
Trading Advisor or its affiliates, in accordance with specific instructions of
the owner of such account, trade such account at a degree of leverage, fee
structure, or in accordance with trading policies which shall be different from
that which shall normally be applied to substantially all of the Trading
Advisor’s other 

 

7

 

accounts or if the Trading Advisor or its affiliates,
in accordance with the Trading Advisor’s money management principles, shall not
trade certain commodity interests contracts for an account based on the amount
of equity in such account.

 

(b)                                 The Trading Advisor understands and
agrees that it and its affiliates shall have a fiduciary responsibility to the
Company under this Agreement.

 

(c)                                  At the request of the Company, the
Trading Advisor and its affiliates shall promptly make available to the Company
(if available to it without unreasonable efforts) copies of the normal daily, monthly,
quarterly and annual, as the case may be, written reports reflecting the
performance of all commodity pool accounts advised, managed, owned or
controlled by the Trading Advisor or its affiliates required to be delivered to
pool participants pursuant to the CEA and similar written information,
including monthly account statements, reflecting the performance of all other
commodity interest accounts advised, managed, owned or controlled by the
Trading Advisor or its affiliates, with respect to which account reports shall
not be required to be delivered to the owners thereof pursuant to the CEA

concerning the Trading Advisor’s trading systems, methods, models, strategies
and formulas and the identity of the Trading Advisor’s clients).  At the request of the Company, the Trading
Advisor or its affiliates shall promptly deliver to the Company a satisfactory
written explanation, in the judgment of the Company, of the differences, if
any, in the performance between the Company’s account and such other commodity
interest accounts traded utilizing the same program or portfolio (subject to
the need to preserve the confidentiality of proprietary information concerning
the Trading Advisor’s trading systems, methods, models, strategies and formulas
and the identity of the Trading Advisor’s clients).

 

9.                                       Speculative Position Limits. 
If the Trading Advisor (either alone or aggregated with the positions of
any other person if such aggregation shall be required by the CEA, the CFTC or
any other regulatory authority having jurisdiction) shall exceed or be about to
exceed applicable limits in any commodity interest traded for the Company, the
Trading Advisor shall immediately take such action as the Trading Advisor may
deem fair and equitable to comply with the limits, and shall immediately
deliver to the Company a written explanation of the action taken to comply with
such limits.  If such limits are exceeded
by the Company, the Manager may require the Trading Advisor to liquidate
positions as required.

 

10.                                 Additional Undertakings by the Trading
Advisor.  Neither the Trading Advisor nor its
employees, affiliates or agents, the stockholders, directors, officers,
employees, principals, affiliates or agents of such affiliates, or their
respective successors or assigns shall:  (a) use
or distribute for any purpose whatsoever any list containing the names and/or
residential addresses of and/or other information about the Limited Partners of
the Fund; nor (b) knowingly and directly solicit any Limited Partner of
the Fund for any business purpose whatsoever (unless such Limited Partner is
already a client of the Trading Advisor).

 

11.                                 Representations and Warranties.

 

(a)                                  The Trading Advisor hereby represents and
warrants to the other parties as follows:

 

8

 

(i)                                             The Trading Advisor is an entity duly
organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization 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 affect the
Trading Advisor’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement. The
Trading Advisor has full corporate, partnership or limited liability company
(as the case may be) power and authority to perform its obligations under this
Agreement.

 

(ii)                                          This Agreement has been duly and validly
authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Trading Advisor and
constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable agreement of the Trading Advisor
in accordance with its terms.

 

(iii)                                       The Trading Advisor has all governmental,
regulatory and commodity exchange licenses and approvals and has effected all
filings and registrations with governmental and regulatory agencies required to
conduct its business and to act as described herein or required to perform its
obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, registration of the
Trading Advisor as a commodity trading advisor under the CEA, and membership of
the Trading Advisor as a commodity trading advisor in NFA), and the performance
of such obligation will not violate or result in a breach of any provision of
the Trading Advisor’s certificate of formation, limited liability company
agreement, or any agreement, instrument, order, law or regulation binding on
the Trading Advisor.  The principals of
the Trading Advisor are duly listed as such on its commodity trading advisor Form 7-R
registration.

 

(iv)                                      Assuming the accuracy of the Manager’s
representation in subsection 11(b)(vii) below, management by the Trading
Advisor of an account for the Company in accordance with the terms hereof will
not require any registration under, or violate any of the provisions of, the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (assuming that the Company is not an “investment
company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the “Company Act”)).

 

(v)                                         The Trading Advisor’s implementation of
its trading program on behalf of the Company will not infringe any other person’s
copyrights, trademark or other property rights.

 

(vi)                                      The execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the incurrence of the obligations herein set forth and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not constitute a
breach of, or default under, any instrument by which the Trading Advisor is
bound or any order, rule or regulation application to the Trading Advisor
of any court or any governmental body or administrative agency having
jurisdiction over the Trading Advisor.

 

(vii)                                   Other than as may have been disclosed in
writing to the Manager by the Trading Advisor, there is not pending, or to the
best of the Trading Advisor’s knowledge threatened, any action, suit or
proceeding before or by any court or other governmental body to which the
Trading Advisor is a party, or to which any of the assets of the Trading
Advisor is subject, which might reasonably be expected to result in any
material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, business or
prospects of the Trading Advisor.  The
Trading Advisor has not received any notice of an investigation or warning
letter from NFA or CFTC regarding non-compliance by the Trading Advisor with
the CEA or the regulations thereunder.

warrants to the other parties as follows:

 

(i)                                             The Manager is duly organized and validly

breach of, or default under, any instrument by which the Manager is bound or
any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Manager of any court or
any governmental body or administrative agency having jurisdiction over the
Manager.

 

(v)                                         There is not pending, or, to the best of

the State of Delaware and in good standing under the laws of each other

obligations hereunder.

 

(ii)                                          The Company has the limited liability

terms.

 

(iv)                                      The execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the incurrence of the obligations set forth herein and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not constitute a
breach of, or default under, any instrument by which the Company is bound or
any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Company of any court or
any governmental body or administrative agency having jurisdiction over the
Company.

 

(v)                                         There is not pending, or, to the best of
the Company’s knowledge, threatened, any action, suit or proceeding before or

(a)                                  The Company shall indemnify, defend and
hold harmless the Trading Advisor and its affiliates and their respective
directors, officers, shareholders, employees and controlling persons from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (joint and several),
costs and expenses (including any investigatory, legal and other expenses
incurred in connection with, and any amounts paid in, any settlement; provided
that the Company shall have approved such settlement) resulting from a demand,
claim, lawsuit, action or proceeding relating 

 

11

 

to any of such person’s actions or capacities relating
to the business or activities of the Company pursuant to this Agreement;
provided that the conduct of such person which was the subject of the demand,
claim, lawsuit, action or proceeding did not constitute negligence, misconduct
or a breach of this Agreement or of any fiduciary obligation to the Company and
was done in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be
in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company.  The termination of any demand, claim,
lawsuit, action or proceeding by settlement shall not, in itself, create a
presumption that the conduct in question was not undertaken in good faith and
in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests
of the Company.

 

(b)                                 The Trading Advisor shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates and their directors,
officers, shareholders, employees and controlling persons from and against any
and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (joint and several), costs and
expenses (including any reasonable investigatory, legal and other expenses
incurred in connection with, and any amounts paid in, any settlement; provided
that the Trading Advisor shall have approved such settlement) resulting from a
demand, claim, lawsuit, action or proceeding relating to any action or omission
of the Trading Advisor or any of its respective officers, directors or
employees relating to the business or activities of such person under this
Agreement or relating to the management of an account of the Company
provided:  the action or omission of such
person which was the subject of the demand, claim, lawsuit, action or
proceeding constituted negligence or misconduct or a breach of this Agreement
or was an action or omission taken otherwise than in good faith and in a manner
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Company.

 

(c)                                  The Trading Advisor, its officers,
directors, employees and shareholders shall not be liable to the Company, the
Manager, and its or their respective affiliates, officers, directors or members
or to any of their successors or assigns except by reason of acts or omissions
in contravention of the express terms of this Agreement, or due to their
intentional misconduct or negligence, or by reason of not having acted in good
faith and in the reasonable belief that such actions or omissions were in, or
not opposed to, the best interests of the Company.

 

(d)                                 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 party.

 

(e)                                  Any indemnification required by this Section 13
unless ordered or expressly permitted by a court, shall be made by the
indemnifying party only upon a determination by independent legal counsel
mutually agreeable to the parties hereto in a written opinion that the conduct
which is the subject of the claim, demand, lawsuit, action or proceeding with
respect to which indemnification is sought meets the applicable standard set
forth in this Section 13.

 

(f)                                    In the event that a person entitled to
indemnification under this Section 13 is made a party to an action, suit
or proceeding alleging both matters for which indemnification may be due
hereunder and matters for which indemnification may not be due hereunder, such
person shall be indemnified only in respect of the former matters.

 

12

 

(g)                                 Promptly after receipt by any of the
indemnified parties under this Agreement of notice of any demand, claim,
lawsuit, action or proceeding, the indemnified party shall notify the
indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof if a claim for
indemnification in respect thereof is to be made under this Agreement.  Except to the extent that the indemnifying
party is not materially prejudiced thereby, the omission so to notify shall
relieve the indemnifying party from any obligation or liability which it may
have to any such indemnified party under this section.  In the event that such demand, claim,
lawsuit, action or proceeding is brought against a person entitled to be
indemnified under this Agreement, and the indemnifying party is notified of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate
therein and, to the extent that the indemnifying party may wish, to assume the
defense thereof, with counsel selected by the indemnifying party and approved
by the indemnified person (provided that approval may not be unreasonably
withheld), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified
person of the indemnifying party’s election so as to assume the defense
thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such person under this
section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such person in
connection with the defense thereof, unless the indemnifying party approves the
employment of separate counsel by such person (it being understood, however,
that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for legal or other expenses of
more than one separate firm of attorneys for all such persons indemnified
hereunder, which firm shall be designated in writing by the Trading Advisor or
the Company, as the case may be).

 

14.                                 Assignment.  This
Agreement shall not be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the prior
express written consent of the other parties hereto; provided, that either
party may assign this agreement to an affiliate upon prior notice to the other
party.

 

15.                                 Amendment; Waiver. 
This Agreement shall not be amended except by a writing signed by the
parties hereto.  No waiver of any
provision of this Agreement shall be implied from any course of dealing between
the parties hereto or from any failure by either party hereto to assert its
rights hereunder on any occasion or series of occasions.

 

16.                                 Severability. 
If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of any provision
to any person or circumstance, shall be held to be inconsistent with any
present or future law, ruling, rule or regulation of any court or
governmental or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the subject
matter hereof, such provision shall be deemed to be rescinded or modified in
accordance with such law, ruling, rule or regulation, and the remainder of
this Agreement, or the application of such provision to persons or
circumstances other than those as to which it shall be held inconsistent, shall
not be affected thereby.

 

17.                                 Notices.  Any notice
required or desired to be delivered under this Agreement shall be in writing
and shall be delivered by courier service, facsimile, postage prepaid mail or
other similar means and shall be effective upon actual receipt by the party to
which such notice shall be directed, addressed as follows (or to such other

ADVISORY AGREEMENT

 

THIS ADVISORY AGREEMENT
(the “Agreement”), made as of this 26th day of March 2010, among ORION GLOBAL
HORIZONS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), BLACKROCK
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the manager
of the Company (the “Manager”), and ORTUS CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LIMITED (the “Trading
Advisor”);

 

W  I  T  N  E
S  S  E  T  H:

 

WHEREAS, the Company
trades, buys, sells or otherwise acquires, holds or disposes of forward
contracts, futures contracts for commodities, financial instruments and
currencies on United States and foreign exchanges, any rights pertaining
thereto and any options thereon or on physical commodities and engages in all
activities incident thereto (the foregoing forms of investment being
collectively referred to herein as “commodity interests”);

 

WHEREAS, the sole holder
of interests in the Company as of the date hereof, BlackRock Global Horizons I,
LP (the “Fund”), is now offering Units of Limited Partnership Interest in the
Fund (“Units”) for sale to investors in an offering exempt from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof
and Rule 506 under Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as described in
the Fund’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum (the “Memorandum”) that
has been filed with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”) and
the National Futures Association (the “NFA”) pursuant to the Commodity Exchange
Act, as amended (the “CEA”), the commodity pool operator and commodity trading
advisor regulations promulgated under the CEA by the CFTC (the “Commodity
Regulations”), and NFA rules promulgated under the CEA (the “NFA Rules”);

 

WHEREAS, the Fund had
previously sold Units publicly pursuant to an effective registration under the
1933 Act.  Such public offering was
discontinued in 1998, and the Units now being offered are the same class of
equity securities as the outstanding Units;

 

WHEREAS, the Trading Advisor
is engaged in the business of, among other things, making trading decisions on
behalf of investors in the purchase and sale of certain commodity interests;
and

 

WHEREAS, the Company
desires the Trading Advisor, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, to
act as a trading advisor for the Company and to make commodity interests
investment decisions for the Company with respect to the Company’s assets from
time to time, and the Trading Advisor desires to so act;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the
parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

 

1.             Undertakings in Connection with Offering of Units.

 

(a)           Undertakings by the Trading Advisor. 
The Trading Advisor agrees to use its best efforts to cooperate with the
Fund and the Manager in amending the Memorandum, including without limitation
by providing, as promptly as may be reasonably practicable, all information (if
any) regarding the Trading Advisor and its principals which the Manager 

 

1

 

reasonably believes to be necessary or advisable to
include in the Memorandum, as the same may be amended from time to time;
provided, that nothing herein shall require the Trading Advisor to disclose any
proprietary or confidential information related to its trading programs,
systems or strategies or to its clients.

 

(b)           Certain Defined Terms. 
As used in this Agreement, the term “principal” shall have the same
meaning given to such term in Section 4.10(e) of the Commodity
Regulations, and the term “affiliate” shall mean an individual or entity
(including a stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent, or principal)
that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common
control with any other individual or entity. 
Other terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to
them in the Memorandum.

 

(c)           Use of Memorandum and Other Solicitation Material. 
Neither the Trading Advisor, its principals nor any of its employees,
affiliates or agents, the employees, affiliates or agents of such affiliates,
or their respective successors or assigns shall use, publish, circulate or
distribute the Memorandum (including any amendment or supplement thereto) or
any related solicitation material nor shall any of the foregoing engage in any
marketing, sales or promotional activities in connection with the offering of
Units, except as may be requested by the Manager and agreed to by the Trading
Advisor.

 

(d)           Updated Performance Information. 
At any time while Units continue to be offered and sold, at the written
request of the Fund or the Manager, the Trading Advisor, at its own expense,
shall promptly provide the Fund and the Manager with complete and accurate
performance information (in form and substance consistent with Section 4.35
of the Commodity Regulations and the NFA Rules) reflecting the actual
performance of the accounts directed by the Trading Advisor up to the latest
practicable date (consistent with Section 4.35 of the Commodity
Regulations) prior to the date of the Memorandum as amended or supplemented,
together with any reports or letters relating to such performance data received
from accountants and in the possession of the Trading Advisor.

 

(e)           Access to Books and Records. 
Upon reasonable notice to the Trading Advisor, the Company or the
Manager shall have the right to have access to the Trading Advisor’s offices in
order to inspect and copy such books and records during normal business hours
as may enable them to verify the accuracy and completeness of or to supplement
as necessary the data furnished by the Trading Advisor pursuant to Section l(d) of
this Agreement or to verify compliance with the terms of this Agreement
(subject to such restrictions as the Trading Advisor may reasonably deem
necessary or advisable so as to preserve the confidentiality of proprietary
information concerning such trading systems, methods, models, strategies and
formulas and of the identity of the Trading Advisor’s clients).

 

2.             Duties of the Trading Advisor.

 

(a)           Speculative Trading.  As of the
date of this Agreement, the Trading Advisor acts as a trading advisor for the
Company.  The Trading Advisor and the
Company agree that in managing the assets of the Company, the Trading Advisor
shall utilize similar currency programs as it utilizes to manage Ortus Fund
(Cayman) Limited (the “Ortus Fund”) as described in the confidential Private
Placing Memorandum (the “PPM”) of the Ortus Fund  (the
“Program”).  The Trading Advisor has
previously provided to the Manager a copy of the PPM, 

 

2

 

and each time that the PPM is supplemented, revised,
or updated, the Trading Advisor will within five business days provide the
Manager with such supplement, revision, or update (together with the PPM, the “Disclosure
Document”).  The Trading Advisor may trade
a different portfolio for the Company only with the consent of the
Manager.  Except as provided otherwise in
this Section 2, the Trading Advisor shall have sole and exclusive
authority and responsibility for directing the investment and reinvestment of
the Company’s assets utilizing the Programs pursuant to and in accordance with
the Trading Advisor’s best judgment and its approach as described in the
Disclosure Document, and as refined and modified from time to time in the
future in accordance herewith, for the period and on the terms and conditions
set forth herein.  Only those individuals
currently employed by the Trading Advisor and listed in Appendix A are
permitted to implement trades for the Company. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or the Manager may override
the trading instructions of the Trading Advisor to the extent necessary:  (i) to fund any distributions or
redemptions of Units to be made by the Fund; (ii) to pay the Company’s or
the Fund’s expenses; and/or (iii) to comply with speculative position
limits; provided that the Company and the Manager shall permit the Trading
Advisor three days in which to liquidate positions for the purposes set forth
in clauses (i)-(ii) prior to exercising its override authority.  The Trading Advisor will have no liability
for the results of any of the Manager’s interventions in (i)-(ii), above.

 

The Company and the
Manager both specifically acknowledge that in agreeing to manage the Company,
the Trading Advisor is not making any guarantee of profits or of protections
against loss.

 

The Trading Advisor shall
give the Company and the Manager prompt written notice of any proposed material
change in the Program or the manner in which trading decisions are to be made
or implemented and shall not make any such proposed material change with
respect to trading for the Company without having given the Company and the
Manager at least 30 days’ prior written notice of such change.  The addition and/or deletion of commodity
interests from the Company’s portfolio managed by the Trading Advisor shall not
be deemed a change in the Trading Advisor’s trading approach and prior written
notice to the Company or the Manager shall not be required therefor, except as
set forth in section 2(b) below; provided that, with respect to the
Company, the Trading Advisor may trade a different trading program in managing
the Company only with the consent of the Manager.

 

(b)           List of Commodity Interests Traded by the Trading
Advisor.  The Trading Advisor shall provide the Company
and the Manager with a complete list of commodity interests which it intends to
trade on the Company’s behalf.  All
commodity interests other than regulated futures contracts and options on
regulated futures contracts traded on a qualified board or exchange in the
United States shall be listed on Appendix B to this Agreement.  The addition of commodity interests (other
than forward contracts on foreign currencies) to the Company’s portfolio
managed by the Trading Advisor as set forth in Appendix B to this Agreement
shall require prior written notice to the Company or the Manager and an
amendment to Appendix B.

 

(c)           Investment of Assets Held in Securities and Cash. 
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the
Company and the Manager, and not the Trading Advisor, shall have the sole and
exclusive authority and responsibility with regard to the investment,
maintenance and management of the Company’s assets other than in respect of the
Trading Advisor’s trading of the Company’s assets in commodity interests.

 

3

 

(d)           Trading Authorization.  Prior to the
Company’s acceptance of trading advice from the Trading Advisor in accordance
with this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to the Trading Advisor a trading
authorization in the form of Appendix C hereto appointing the Trading Advisor
as an agent of the Company and attorney-in-fact for such purpose.

 

(e)           Delivery of Disclosure Documents. 
The Trading Advisor shall, during the term of this Agreement, deliver to
the Company copies of all updated disclosure documents for the Program promptly
following preparation of such disclosure documents, and the Manager on behalf
of the Company shall, if requested, sign the Acknowledgment of Receipt of
Disclosure Document in the form of Appendix D hereto, for the initial
disclosure document so delivered.

 

(f)            Trade Reconciliations.  The Trading
Advisor acknowledges its obligation to review its commodity interest positions
on a daily basis and to notify the Company and the Manager promptly of any
errors committed by the Trading Advisor or any trade which the Trading Advisor
believes was not executed in accordance with its instructions and which cannot
be promptly resolved. The Trading Advisor will use its own systems to evaluate
trade and portfolio information until it receives the necessary information
from the Company, upon which time the Trading Advisor will use the information
from the Company to evaluate the trade and portfolio information.

 

(g)           Trade Information.   The Trading
Advisor shall use reasonable efforts to provide trade information to OMR
Systems by electronic file by 4:30 p.m. on the date of any trade made on
behalf of the Company.

 

3.             Trading Advisor Independent. 
For all purposes of this Agreement, the Trading Advisor shall be deemed
to be an independent contractor and shall have no authority to act for or
represent the Company in any way and shall not otherwise be deemed to be an
agent of the Company.  Nothing contained
herein shall create or constitute the Trading Advisor and any other trading
advisor for the Company, the Fund or the Manager as a member of any
partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate, unincorporated business or
other separate entity, nor shall 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.  The
parties acknowledge that the Trading Advisor has not been an organizer or
promoter of the Fund.

 

4.             Commodity Broker; Floor Brokers.

 

(a)           Clearing of All Trades.  The Trading
Advisor shall clear orders for all commodity interest transactions for the
Company through such commodity broker or brokers as the Company shall designate
from time to time in its sole discretion (the “Clearing Broker”).  The Trading Advisor will not, without the
consent of the Manager, trade on a “give up” basis through floor brokers not
associated with the Clearing Broker.  The
Manager will review and approve or disapprove all executing brokers proposed by
the Trading Advisor for the Company’s account. 
The Manager agrees that it will only disapprove a proposed executing
broker suggested by the Trading Advisor for cause and that, if an executing
broker is approved, the Company will not hold the Trading Advisor liable for
any error or breach of contract by any such executing broker, barring
negligence, misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Trading Advisor.  Even if such floor brokers receive the
Manager’s consent to execute trades on behalf of the Company, all such trades
will be “given-up” to be carried by the Clearing Broker.  The Trading Advisor shall 

 

4

 

receive copies of all daily and monthly brokerage
statements for the Company directly from the Clearing Broker.

 

The parties acknowledge
that the Trading Advisor has no authority or responsibility for selecting a
commodity broker or dealers or for the negotiation of brokerage commission
rates.  If necessary for the Trading Advisor
to trade pursuant to the Program, the Company shall provide adequate dealing
lines of credit for the Trading Advisor to place orders for spot and forward
currency contracts on behalf of the Company. 
The Trading Advisor may use any of the brokers and/or dealers and
platforms in Appendix E that are approved by the Manager.

 

(b)           Forward Trading.  All forward
trades for the Company shall be executed through the forward dealer(s) (which
may be affiliates of the Manager) designated by the Manager, provided that at
the request of the Trading Advisor, the Manager may consent to some other
forward trading arrangement, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.  The Trading Advisor shall use
such other banks or dealers only for what the Trading Advisor, in good faith,
believes to be good cause.

 

(c)           Floor Brokerage. 
Notwithstanding Section 4(a) of this Agreement, the Trading
Advisor may place orders for commodity interest transactions for the Company
through floor brokers selected by the Trading Advisor, and approved by the
Manager, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.  Such floor brokers shall “give up” all trades
on behalf the Company to the Clearing Broker for clearance.

 

The brokerage and floor
commissions, “give-up” fees and other transaction costs charged by any floor broker
to effect Company transactions shall be subject to the approval of the Manager,
such approval not to be unreasonably withheld provided that such fees and
transaction costs are competitive with the Clearing Broker’s standard
rates.  The Manager hereby approves for
use with the Company the arrangement regarding brokerage and floor commissions,
“give-up” fees and other transaction costs described in the PPM.

 

5.             Allocation of Company Assets to Trading Advisor;
Allocation of Receipts and Charges.

 

(a)           The Manager has allocated a portion of the Fund’s
assets to the Company to be managed in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.  The Manager may, in its sole
discretion, reallocate Fund assets by contributing to or withdrawing amounts
from the Company as of any month-end.

 

(b)           Gains and receipts (e.g., trading profits and, in some
instances, interest income), losses and charges (e.g., trading losses, Trading
Advisor management fees, incentive fees and brokerage commissions) specific to
the Company shall be allocated entirely to the Company.  Gains and receipts, losses and charges not
specific to (i) the Company or (ii) any other company or account held
by the Fund and managed by a specific trading advisor, shall be allocated among
all of the companies and accounts of the Fund managed by the different trading
advisors, including the Company, pro rata based
on the beginning of month value of each such company and account after
reduction for account specific charges. 
The value of the Company 

 

5

 

after taking into account all realized and unrealized
gains and losses is the Company’s “Mark-to-Market Value.”

 

(c)           The value of the Company determined by deducting from
the Company’s Mark-to-Market Value all charges and reserves (including but not
limited to charges specific to the Company provided for in Section 5(b),
the Company’s pro rata share of Fund distribution fees, transfer agent fees,
administrator’s fees, brokerage commissions and the Manager’s Sponsor Fee) except
any charges or accruals for the fees provided for in Section 6 is the
Company’s “Net Asset Value Before Fees.”

 

6.             Fees.

 

(a)           Management Fee.  By
approximately ten business days of each calendar month-end, the Company will
pay the Trading Advisor a Management Fee equal to [       ]* of the
Company’s month-end Net Asset Value Before Fees.  The resulting balance after payment of the
Management Fee is the Company’s “Post MF Net Asset Value.”  The Company’s balance after any further
reduction for the Incentive Fee provided for in Section 6(b) is the
Company’s “Net Asset Value.”

 

(b)           Incentive Fee.

 

(i)               The Company will pay to the Trading Advisor, [       ]* (“Incentive Fee Calculation Date”), an Incentive Fee
equal to [     
]* of any New Trading Profit recognized
by the Company as of such Incentive Fee Calculation Date.

 

(ii)              Subject to the adjustments contemplated below, New
Trading Profit equals any increase in the Mark-to-Market Value of the Company
as of the current Incentive Fee Calculation Date over the High Water Mark
attributable to the Company.  New Trading
Profit will be calculated prior to reduction for any accrued Incentive Fees[        ].*

 

(iii)             The High Water Mark attributable to the Company shall
be equal to the highest Net Asset Value of the Company (for avoidance of doubt,
after reduction for the Incentive Fee then paid), as of any preceding Incentive
Fee Calculation Date.  The High Water
Mark shall be increased dollar-for-dollar by any capital allocated to the
Company and decreased proportionately when capital is reallocated away from the
Company (other than to pay expenses). 
The proportionate reduction made as a result of a reallocation shall be
calculated by multiplying the High Water Mark in effect immediately prior to
such reallocation by the fraction the numerator of which is the Net Asset Value
of the Company immediately following such reallocation and the denominator of
which is the Net Asset Value of the Company immediately before such
reallocation.

 

(iv)             If an Incentive Fee is paid as of an Incentive Fee
Calculation Date, the High Water Mark is reset to the Net Asset Value of the
Company immediately following such payment.

 

* Confidential material redacted and filed separately
with the Commission.

 

6

 

(v)              When there is an accrued Incentive Fee at the time any
reallocation from the Company is made, the Incentive Fee attributable to such
reallocation will be paid.  Such
Incentive Fee shall be determined by multiplying the Incentive Fee that would
have been paid had the date of the reallocation been an Incentive Fee
Calculation Date by the fraction the numerator of which is the amount of the
reallocation and the denominator of which is the Post MF Net Asset Value of the
Company immediately prior to the reallocation, in each case prior to reduction
for the accrued Incentive Fee.  Such
Incentive Fee will be paid from and reduce the amount of the reallocation.

 

(vi)             Interest income shall not be included in any of the
foregoing calculations.  For the
avoidance of doubt, no Incentive Fee shall be payable on any interest income
earned by the Company.

 

(vii)            Termination of this Agreement shall be treated as an
Incentive Fee Calculation Date.

 

7.             Term and Termination.

 

(a)           Term and Renewal.  This Agreement
shall continue in effect until December 31, 2010.  Thereafter, this Agreement shall be
automatically renewed for successive one-year periods, on the same terms,
unless terminated by either the Trading Advisor or the Company upon 90 days’
notice to the other party.

 

(b)           Termination. 
Notwithstanding Section 7(a) hereof, this Agreement shall
terminate:

 

(i)               immediately if the Company shall terminate and be
dissolved in accordance with the Limited Liability Company Agreement or
otherwise;

 

(ii)              at the discretion of the Manager as of the end of any
month;

 

(iii)             at the discretion of the Trading Advisor, as of the
following month-end, should any of the following occur:  (1) the assets managed by the Trading
Advisor decrease to less than $20,000,000 at the close of business on any day;
or (2) the Trading Advisor has determined to cease managing any customer
accounts pursuant to the Program;

 

(iv)             on five days’ written notice to the Manager if the
Trading Advisor reasonably believes in good faith that (x) the Company or
the Manager has disclosed Trade Data other than in accordance with the terms of
Section 22 hereof and (y) such disclosure would materially harm its
business; or

 

(v)              at the discretion of the Trading Advisor as of the end
of any month upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Manager.

 

8.             Right to Advise Others; Uniformity of Acts and
Practices.

 

(a)           During the term of this Agreement, the Trading Advisor
and its affiliates shall be free to advise other investors as to the purchase
and sale of commodity interests, to manage and trade other investors’ commodity
interests accounts and to trade for and on behalf of 

 

7

 

their own proprietary commodity interests
accounts.  However, under no circumstances
shall the Trading Advisor or any of its affiliates favor any commodity
interests account directed by any of them (regardless of the date on which they
began or shall begin to direct such account) over the Company’s account, giving
due consideration to the trading program which the Manager has requested the
Trading Advisor to trade on behalf of the Company.  For purposes of this Agreement, the Trading
Advisor and its affiliates shall not be deemed to be favoring another commodity
interests account over the Company’s account if the Trading Advisor or its
affiliates, in accordance with specific instructions of the owner of such
account, trade such account at a degree of leverage or in accordance with
trading policies which shall be different from that which shall normally be
applied to substantially all of the Trading Advisor’s other accounts or if the
Trading Advisor or its affiliates, in accordance with the Trading Advisor’s
money management principles, shall not trade certain commodity interests
contracts for an account based on the amount of equity in such account.

 

(b)           The Trading Advisor understands and agrees that it and
its affiliates shall have a fiduciary responsibility to the Company under this
Agreement.

 

(c)           At the request of the Company, the Trading Advisor and
its affiliates shall promptly make available to the Company (if available to it
without unreasonable efforts) copies of the normal monthly, quarterly and
annual, as the case may be, written reports reflecting the performance of all
commodity pool accounts advised, managed, owned or controlled by the Trading
Advisor or its affiliates required to be delivered to pool participants
pursuant to the CEA and similar written information, including monthly account
statements, reflecting the performance of all other commodity interest accounts
advised, managed, owned or controlled by the Trading Advisor or its affiliates,
with respect to which account reports shall not be required to be delivered to
the owners thereof pursuant to the CEA (subject to the need to preserve the
confidentiality of proprietary information concerning the Trading Advisor’s
trading systems, methods, models, strategies and formulas and the identity of
the Trading Advisor’s clients).  At the
request of the Company, the Trading Advisor or its affiliates shall promptly
deliver to the Company a satisfactory written explanation, in the judgment of
the Company, of the differences, if any, in the performance between the Company’s
account and such other commodity interest accounts traded utilizing the same
program or portfolio (subject to the need to preserve the confidentiality of
proprietary information concerning the Trading Advisor’s trading systems,
methods, models, strategies and formulas and the identity of the Trading
Advisor’s clients).

 

9.             Speculative Position Limits. 
If the Trading Advisor (either alone or aggregated with the positions of
any other person if such aggregation shall be required by the CEA, the CFTC or
any other regulatory authority having jurisdiction) shall exceed or be about to
exceed applicable limits in any commodity interest traded for the Company, the
Trading Advisor shall immediately take such action as the Trading Advisor may
deem fair and equitable to comply with the limits, and shall immediately
deliver to the Company a written explanation of the action taken to comply with
such limits.  If such limits are exceeded
by the Company, the Manager may require the Trading Advisor to liquidate
positions as required.

 

10.           Additional Undertakings by the Trading Advisor. 
Neither the Trading Advisor nor its employees, affiliates or agents, the
stockholders, directors, officers, employees, principals, affiliates or agents
of such affiliates, or their respective successors or assigns shall:  (a) knowingly use or distribute for any
purpose whatsoever any list containing the names and/or 

 

8

 

residential addresses of and/or other information
about the Limited Partners of the Fund; nor (b) knowingly solicit any
person that the Trading Advisor Party knows or reasonably should know is a
Limited Partner of the Fund for any business purpose whatsoever (unless such
Limited Partner is already a client of the Trading Advisor, or the Trading
Advisor is not aware that a person is a Limited Partner of the Fund).

 

11.           Representations and Warranties.

 

(a)           The Trading Advisor hereby represents and warrants to
the other parties as follows:

regulation applicable to the Manager of any court or any governmental body or
administrative agency having jurisdiction over the Manager.

in good standing as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of

11

 

13.           Indemnification.

 

(a)           The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
the Trading Advisor and its affiliates and their respective directors,
officers, shareholders, employees and controlling persons from and against any
and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (joint and several), costs and
expenses (including any investigatory, legal and other expenses incurred in
connection with, and any amounts paid in, any settlement; provided that the
Company shall have approved such settlement) resulting from a demand, claim,
lawsuit, action or proceeding relating to any of such person’s actions or
capacities relating to the business or activities of the Company pursuant to
this Agreement; provided that the conduct of such person which was the subject
of the demand, claim, lawsuit, action or proceeding did not constitute gross
negligence, misconduct or a breach of this Agreement or of any fiduciary
obligation to the Company and was done in good faith and in a manner such
person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of
the Company.  The termination of any
demand, claim, lawsuit, action or proceeding by settlement shall not, in
itself, create a presumption that the conduct in question was not undertaken in
good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
best interests of the Company.

 

(b)           The Trading Advisor shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the Company, the Manager, their respective affiliates and their
respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees and controlling persons
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (joint and
several), costs and expenses (including any reasonable investigatory, legal and
other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amounts paid in, any
settlement; provided that the Trading Advisor shall have approved such
settlement) resulting from a demand, claim, lawsuit, action or proceeding
relating to any action or omission of the Trading Advisor or any of its
respective officers, directors or employees relating to the business or
activities of such person under this Agreement or relating to the management of
an account of the Company provided:  the
action or omission of such person which was the subject of the demand, claim,
lawsuit, action or proceeding constituted gross negligence or misconduct or a
breach of this Agreement or was an action or omission taken otherwise than in
good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
best interests of the Company.

 

(c)           The Trading Advisor, its officers, directors,
employees and shareholders shall not be liable to the Company and its officers,
directors or members or to any of their successors or assigns except by reason
of acts or omissions in contravention of the express terms of this Agreement, or
due to their intentional misconduct or gross negligence, or by reason of not
having acted in good faith and in the reasonable belief that such actions or
omissions were in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company.

 

(d)           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 party.

 

(e)           Any indemnification required by this Section 13
unless ordered or expressly permitted by a court, shall be made by the
indemnifying party only upon a determination by independent legal counsel
mutually agreeable to the parties hereto in a written opinion that the conduct
which is the subject of the claim, demand, lawsuit, action or proceeding with
respect to which indemnification is sought meets the applicable standard set
forth in this Section 13.

 

12

 

(f)            In the event that a person entitled to indemnification
under this Section 13 is made a party to an action, suit or proceeding
alleging both matters for which indemnification may be due hereunder and
matters for which indemnification may not be due hereunder, such person shall
be indemnified only in respect of the former matters.

 

(g)           Promptly after receipt by any of the indemnified
parties under this Agreement of notice of any demand, claim, lawsuit, action or
proceeding, the indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the commencement thereof if a claim for indemnification in respect
thereof is to be made under this Agreement. 
Except to the extent that the indemnifying party is not materially
prejudiced thereby, the omission so to notify shall relieve the indemnifying
party from any obligation or liability which it may have to any such
indemnified party under this section.  In
the event that such demand, claim, lawsuit, action or proceeding is brought
against a person entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement, and the
indemnifying party is notified of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying
party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that the
indemnifying party may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
selected by the indemnifying party and approved by the indemnified person
(provided that approval may not be unreasonably withheld), and after notice
from the indemnifying party to such indemnified person of the indemnifying
party’s election so as to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party
shall not be liable to such person under this section for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such person in connection with the defense
thereof, unless the indemnifying party approves the employment of separate
counsel by such person (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying
party shall not be liable for legal or other expenses of more than one separate
firm of attorneys for all such persons indemnified hereunder, which firm shall
be designated in writing by the Trading Advisor or the Company, as the case may
be).

 

14.           Assignment.  This
Agreement shall not be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the prior
express written consent of the other parties hereto; provided, that either
party may assign this agreement to an affiliate upon prior notice to the other
party.

 

15.           Amendment; Waiver.  This
Agreement shall not be amended except by a writing signed by the parties
hereto.  No waiver of any provision of
this Agreement shall be implied from any course of dealing between the parties
hereto or from any failure by either party hereto to assert its rights
hereunder on any occasion or series of occasions.

 

16.           Severability.  If any
provision of this Agreement, or the application of any provision to any person
or circumstance, shall be held to be inconsistent with any present or future
law, ruling, rule or regulation of any court or governmental or regulatory
authority having jurisdiction over the subject matter hereof, such provision
shall be deemed to be rescinded or modified in accordance with such law,
ruling, rule or regulation, and the remainder of this Agreement, or the
application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as
to which it shall be held inconsistent, shall not be affected thereby.

 

17.           Notices.  Any notice
required or desired to be delivered under this Agreement shall be in writing
and shall be delivered by courier service, facsimile, postage prepaid mail or
other similar means and shall be effective upon actual receipt by the party to
which such notice shall be directed, addressed as follows (or to such other
address as the party entitled to notice shall hereafter designate in accordance
with the terms hereof):

Advisor’s investment strategies, models or processes or (iii) to cause
anyone to do (i) or (ii).

 

(d)           Each of the Company and
the Manager acknowledges that the Trading Advisor and its affiliates would be

instrument.

sections and subsections in this Agreement are for the convenience of the
parties only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or
