(the “Partnership”) as indicated on page B-7 hereof and as described in the Private Placement Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Document dated August 1, 2009, as amended or supplemented from time to time (the “Memorandum”). I understand that each Unit will be offered at Net Asset Value per Unit on the date of sale. Simultaneous with my delivery of this subscription agreement to Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (the “Placement Agent”), I will either (a) complete and deliver to the Placement Agent the letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II, to authorize the Placement Agent to transfer by wire from my brokerage account with the Placement Agent, to the Partnership, monies sufficient to purchase the Units for which I am subscribing, or (b) deliver a check to the Placement Agent payable to the Partnership in an amount sufficient to purchase the Units for which I am subscribing for delivery by the Placement Agent to the General Partner. I understand that all capitalized terms used in this subscription agreement (“Subscription Agreement”) that are not separately defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Memorandum. I am aware that this subscription is not binding on the Partnership unless and until it is accepted by Ceres Managed Futures LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and the Partnership’s general partner (the “General Partner”), which may reject this subscription in whole or in part for any reason whatsoever. I understand that the General Partner will advise me within five business days of receipt of my funds and this Subscription Agreement if my subscription has been rejected. I further understand that if this subscription is not accepted, the full amount of my subscription will be promptly returned to me without deduction.

Certificates for Units (a) Certificates representing Units shall be in such form as may be determined by the Board. Such certificates shall be signed by the President or Vice President. The signature of such officer upon such certificates may be signed manually or by facsimile. All certificates for Units shall be consecutively numbered. The name of the person owning the Units represented thereby, with the number of Units and date of issue, shall be entered on the books of the Company. All certificates surrendered to the Company for transfer shall be canceled and no new certificates shall be issued until the former certificates for a like number of Units shall have been surrendered and canceled, except that, in case of a lost, destroyed or mutilated certificate, a new certificate may be issued therefor upon such terms and indemnity to the Company as the Board may prescribe.

Payment for Units If at any time Dairy Holdings elects or is required to purchase any Units pursuant to Section 7, Dairy Holdings shall pay the purchase price for the Units it purchases (i) first, by offsetting indebtedness, if any, owing from the Executive to Dairy Holdings (which indebtedness shall be applied pro rata against the proceeds receivable by each member of the Executive Group receiving consideration in such repurchase) and (ii) then, by Dairy Holdings' delivery of a check or wire transfer of immediately available funds for the remainder of the purchase price, if any, against delivery of the certificates or other instruments representing the Units so purchased, duly endorsed; provided that if such cash payment would result (A) in a violation of any law, statute, rule, regulation, policy, order, writ, injunction, decree or judgment promulgated or entered by any federal, state, local or foreign court or governmental authority applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of its or their property or (B) after giving effect thereto, a Financing Default, or (C) if the Board determines in good faith that immediately prior to such purchase there shall exist a Financing Default which prohibits such purchase, dividend or distribution ((A) through (C) collectively the "Cash Deferral Conditions"), the portion of the cash payment so affected may be made by Dairy Holdings' delivery of preferred units of Dairy Holdings with a liquidation preference equal to the balance of the purchase price; which preferred units shall accrue yield annually at the "prime rate" published in The Wall Street Journal on the date of issuance, which yield shall be payable at maturity or upon payment of distributions by Dairy Holdings (other than tax distributions). Each such preferred unit shall as of its issuance be deemed to have basic contributions made with respect to such unit equal to (A) the portion of the cash payment paid by the issuance of such preferred units divided by (B) the number of preferred units so issued in the repurchase. Any such preferred units issued shall be promptly redeemed (i) when the Cash Deferral Condition which prompted their issuance no longer exists, (ii) upon consummation of an IPO of the Company or Holdings (or their successors) (to the extent allowed by the underwriters of such IPO), or (iii) upon a Sale of the Company from net cash proceeds, if any, payable to Dairy Holdings or its unitholders (other than proceeds required to be paid to Holdings); to the extent that sufficient net cash proceeds are not so payable, the preferred units shall be cancelled in exchange for such non-cash consideration received by unitholders in the Sale of the Company having a fair market value equal to the principal of and accrued yield on the preferred units. If a yield is required to be paid on any preferred units prior to maturity and any Cash Deferral Conditions exist, such yield may be cumulated and accrued until and to the extent that such prohibition no longer exists.
Repurchase of Units (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Partner or other Person holding Units will have the right to withdraw or tender for repurchase any of its Units. The Directors may, from time to time, in their complete and exclusive discretion and on terms and conditions as they may determine, cause the Partnership to repurchase Units in accordance with written tenders. The Partnership will not offer, however, to repurchase Units on more than four occasions during any one Fiscal Year, unless the Partnership has been advised by its legal counsel that more frequent offers would not cause any adverse tax consequences to the Partnership or the Partners. In determining whether to cause the Partnership to repurchase Units, pursuant to written tenders, the Directors will consider the following factors, among others:
Subscription and Purchase of Shares For the sum of $25,000 (the “Purchase Price”), which the Company acknowledges receiving in the form of a capital contribution, the Company hereby issues the Shares to the Subscriber, and the Subscriber hereby subscribes for and purchases the Shares from the Company, 375,000 of which are subject to forfeiture, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. All references in this Agreement to shares of the Company being forfeited shall take effect as surrenders for no consideration of such shares as a matter of Cayman Islands law.
