|
1.
|
Undertakings of the
Trading Advisor.
|
(a) The
Trading Advisor agrees to make all disclosures regarding itself, its principals
and affiliates, its trading performance, its trading programs, systems, methods,
and strategies (subject to the need, in the reasonable discretion of the Trading
Advisor, to preserve the secrecy of Proprietary Information (as defined in
Section 1(b) hereof) concerning such programs, systems, methods, and
strategies), any client accounts over which it has discretionary trading
authority (other than the names of or identifying information with respect to
any such clients), and otherwise, as the General Partner may reasonably require
to fulfill its due diligence obligations, to provide any necessary disclosures
to investors and to comply with any applicable federal or state law or rule or
regulation, including those of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”), the CFTC, the National Futures Association (the “NFA”), the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority (the “FINRA”) or any other regulatory or
self-regulatory body, exchange, or board. As used herein, the term
“principal” shall have the meaning as defined in Rule 3.1(a) of the CFTC’s
Regulations and the term “affiliate” shall mean any individual or entity that
directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control
with, the Trading Advisor.
(b) For
purposes of this Agreement, and notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof,
all non-public information relating to the Trading Advisor including, but not
limited to, records, whether original, duplicated, computerized, handwritten, or
in any other form, and information contained therein, business and/or marketing
and/or sales plans and proposals, names of past and current clients, names of
past, current and prospective contacts, trading methodologies, systems,
strategies and programs, trading advice, trading instructions, results of
proprietary accounts, training materials, research data bases, portfolios, and
computer software, and all written and oral information, furnished by the
Trading Advisor to the Partnership, the General Partner and/or their officers,
directors, employees, agents (including, but not limited to, attorneys,
accountants, consultants, and financial advisors) or controlling persons (each a
“Recipient”), regardless of the manner in which it is furnished, together with
any analysis, compilations, studies or other documents or records which are
prepared by a Recipient of such information and which contain or are generated
from such information, regardless of whether explicitly identified as
confidential, with the exception of information which (i) is or becomes
generally available to the public other than as a result of acts by the
Recipient in violation of this Agreement, (ii) is in the possession of the
Recipient prior to its disclosure pursuant to the terms hereof, (iii) is or
becomes available to the Recipient from a source that is not bound by a
confidentiality agreement with regard to such information or by any other legal
obligation of confidentiality prohibiting such disclosure, or (iv) that is
independently developed by the Recipient without use of the confidential
information described in this Section 1(b), are and shall be confidential
information and/or trade secrets and the exclusive property of the Trading
Advisor (“Confidential Information” and/or “Proprietary
Information”).
(c) The
Partnership and the General Partner each warrants and agrees that they and their
respective officers, directors, employees and agents (including for purposes of
this Agreement, but not limited to, attorneys, accountants, consultants, and
financial advisors) will protect and preserve the Confidential Information and
will disclose Confidential Information or otherwise make Confidential
Information available only to the Partnership’s or the General Partner’s
officers, directors, employees and agents (including for purposes of this
Agreement, but not limited to, attorneys, accountants, consultants, and
financial advisors), who need to know the Confidential Information (or any part
of it) for the purpose of satisfying their fiduciary, legal, reporting, filing
or other obligations hereunder or to monitor performance in the account during
the term of this Agreement or thereafter, or to the Partnership, General Partner
or a Recipient, as the case may be, is required to disclose such Confidential
Information due to a fiduciary obligation or legal or regulatory
request. Additionally, the Partnership and the General Partner each
warrants and agrees that it and any Recipient will use the Confidential
Information solely for the purpose of satisfying the Partnership’s or the
General Partner’s obligations under this Agreement and not in a manner which
violates the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, each of the General Partner and the Partnership hereby agrees
that it shall not disclose Confidential Information to any affiliates, employees
or agents that are responsible for trading futures interests in a trading
strategy substantially similar to the Trading Advisor’s Trading Program (as
defined in Section 2(a) hereof) for the Partnership’s Net Assets allocated to
the Trading Advisor, except to satisfy its fiduciary, legal, reporting, filing
or other obligations hereunder or to monitor performance in the account during
the term of this Agreement and further to the extent necessary to satisfy its
obligations under other agreements among the parties to this
Agreement.

Duties of the Trading
Advisor.
|
(a) Upon
the commencement of trading operations on or about March 1, 2010 by the Trading
Advisor on behalf of the Partnership, the Trading Advisor hereby agrees to act
as a Trading Advisor for the Partnership and, as such, shall have sole authority
and responsibility for directing the investment and reinvestment of its
allocated portion of the Net Assets of the Partnership which initially shall be
traded pursuant to its Quantitative Strategies 2X Program as described in the
written materials provided to the General Partner, including the DKR Fusion
Quantitative Strategies 2X Fund Ltd. Confidential Memorandum dated as of
February (the "Disclosure Documents") (with the acknowledgment from the parties
hereto, that from time to time, the performance and portfolio of the account
traded on behalf of the Partnership may differ from that of the
Quantitative Strategies 2X Program as agreed to by the General Partner and the
Trading Advisor), and may be subsequently traded pursuant to such other of the
Trading Advisor’s programs described in the Disclosure Document as agreed to by
the General Partner and the Trading Advisor (with such changes and additions to
such trading programs as the Trading Advisor, from time to time, incorporates
into its trading program(s) for accounts the size of the Partnership and for
trades that are permitted for the Partnership), (collectively, the “Trading
Program”) on the terms and conditions and in accordance with the prohibitions
and trading policies set forth in Exhibit A hereto, the Limited Partnership
Agreement and as otherwise provided in writing to the Trading Advisor; provided, however, that the
General Partner may override the instructions of the Trading Advisor without
notice to the Trading Advisor to the extent necessary (i) to comply with
the trading policies of the Partnership, as described in Exhibit A hereto, and
the Limited Partnership Agreement, and as otherwise provided in writing to the
Trading Advisor, and with applicable speculative position limits, (ii) to
fund any distributions, redemptions or reapportionments among other trading
advisors, if any, to the Partnership, (iii) to pay the Partnership’s
expenses, (iv) to the extent the General Partner believes doing so is
necessary for the protection of the Partnership, (v) to terminate the
futures interests trading of the Partnership, or (vi) to comply with any
applicable law or regulation. The General Partner agrees not to
override any such instructions for the reasons specified in clauses (ii) or
(iii) of the preceding sentence unless the Trading Advisor fails to comply with
a request of the General Partner to make the necessary amount of funds available
to the Partnership within two business days of such request. Except
as otherwise provided herein, the Trading Advisor shall not be liable for the
consequences of any decision by the General Partner to override instructions of
the Trading Advisor, except to the extent that such consequences result from a
material breach of this Agreement by the Trading Advisor or the Trading Advisor
fails to comply with the General Partner’s decision to override an
instruction. In performing services for the Partnership, the Trading
Advisor may not materially alter or change the Trading Program without the prior
written consent of the General Partner (and shall not effect such alteration or
change on behalf of the Partnership without the General Partner’s consent), it
being understood that changes in the futures interests traded, provided that
such futures interests are listed on Exhibit B hereto or are otherwise approved
in writing by the General Partner (as set forth in Section 10(a)(iii) hereof),
shall not be deemed an alteration in the Trading Program.
(b) The
Trading Advisor shall:
(i) Exercise
good faith and due care in trading futures interests for the account of the
Partnership in accordance with the prohibitions and trading policies of the
Partnership described in Exhibit A hereto, the Limited Partnership
Agreement and as otherwise provided in writing to the Trading
Advisor. The Trading Advisor shall trade its allocated portion of the
Partnership’s Net Assets pursuant to the Trading Program.
(ii) Subject
to reasonable assurances of confidentiality by the General Partner and the
Partnership, provide the General Partner, within 45 days of the end of a
calendar quarter, and within 45 days of a separate request which the General
Partner may make from time to time, with information comparing the performance
of the Partnership’s account and the performance of all other client accounts
(“Other Accounts”) directed by the Trading Advisor using the Trading Program
over a specified period of time. In providing such information, the
Trading Advisor may take such steps as are necessary to assure the
confidentiality of the Trading Advisor’s clients’ identities. The
Trading Advisor shall, upon the General Partner’s request, consult with the
General Partner concerning any discrepancies between the performance of such
Other Accounts and the Partnership’s account. The Trading Advisor
shall promptly inform the General Partner of any material discrepancies of which
the Trading Advisor is aware. The General Partner acknowledges that
the following differences in accounts may cause divergent
results: different trading programs, strategies, implementation
methods, degrees of leverage, or different trading policies, accounts
experiencing differing inflows or outflows of equity, different risk profiles,
accounts that commence trading at different times and accounts that have
different portfolios or different fiscal years.
(iii) Inform
the General Partner when the Trading Advisor’s open positions maintained by the
Trading Advisor exceed the Trading Advisor’s applicable speculative position
limits.
(iv) Upon
the request of the General Partner and subject to reasonable assurances of
confidentiality by the General Partner and the Partnership, provide the General
Partner with all information concerning the Trading Advisor and its activities
reasonably requested by the General Partner (including, without limitation,
information relating to changes in control, key personnel, trading approach, or
financial condition). The General Partner acknowledges that all
trading instructions made by the Trading Advisor will be held in confidence by
the General Partner except to the extent necessary to conduct the business of
the Partnership or as required by law.
(c) All
purchases and sales of futures interests pursuant to this Agreement shall be for
the account, and at the risk, of the Partnership and not for the account, or at
the risk, of the Trading Advisor or any of its affiliates or each of their
principals, stockholders, directors, officers, or employees, or any other
person, if any, who controls the Trading Advisor within the meaning of the
Securities Act. All brokerage fees, including give-up fees at rates
approved by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated (“MS&Co.”) (or any
additional or subsequent brokers) arising from trading by the Trading Advisor
shall be for the account of the Partnership. The Trading Advisor
makes no representations as to whether its trading will produce profits or avoid
losses.
(d) Subject
to Section 8(a) hereof, the Trading Advisor shall assume financial
responsibility for any errors committed or caused by it in transmitting orders
for the purchase or sale of futures interests for the Partnership’s account,
including, but not limited to, payment to the commodity brokers, as provided in
Section 5 hereof, of the commissions, exchange and NFA fees, and other
transaction charges and give-up charges incurred by the commodity brokers on
such trades but only for the amount of the commodity brokers’ out of pocket
costs in respect thereof. The Trading Advisor’s errors shall include,
but not be limited to, inputting improper trading signals or communicating
incorrect orders to the commodity brokers, as described in Section
5. The Trading Advisor shall not be responsible for errors committed
or caused by MS&Co. or any other floor broker or futures commission merchant
executing trades. The Trading Advisor shall have an affirmative
obligation promptly to notify the General Partner upon discovery of its own
errors with respect to the account, and the Trading Advisor shall use its best
efforts to identify and promptly notify the General Partner of any order or
trade that the Trading Advisor reasonably believes was not executed in
accordance with its instructions to the commodity brokers.
(e) Prior
to the commencement of trading by the Trading Advisor, the General Partner on
behalf of the Partnership shall deliver to the Trading Advisor a trading
authorization in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto, appointing the Trading
Advisor the Partnership’s attorney-in-fact for such purpose.
|
3.
|
Designation of
Additional or Replacement Trading Advisors and Reallocation of Net
Assets.
|
(a) If
the General Partner at any time deems it to be in the best interests of the
Partnership, the General Partner may designate an additional or replacement
trading advisor or advisors for the Partnership and may apportion to such
additional or replacement trading advisor(s) the management of such amounts of
Net Assets as the General Partner shall determine in its absolute
discretion. The designation of an additional trading advisor or
advisors or replacement of any trading advisor for the Partnership by the
General Partner shall not require any approval of any existing trading advisor
(including the Trading Advisor). Subject to Section 7(c) hereof, the
designation and retention of an additional or replacement trading advisor(s) and
the apportionment of Net Assets to any such trading advisor(s) pursuant to this
Section 3 shall neither terminate this Agreement nor modify in any regard
the respective rights and obligations of the Partnership, the General Partner
and the Trading Advisor hereunder with respect to the assets that remain under
the management of the Trading Advisor. In the event that an
additional or replacement trading advisor(s) is so designated, the Trading
Advisor shall thereafter receive management and incentive fees based,
respectively, on that portion of the Net Assets managed by the Trading Advisor
and that portion of the Trading Profits (as defined in Section 6(c) hereof)
attributable to the trading done by the Trading Advisor.
(b) The
General Partner may at any time and from time to time upon two business days’
prior notice reallocate Net Assets allocated to the Trading Advisor to any other
trading advisor or advisors of the Partnership or allocate additional Net Assets
upon two business days’ prior notice to the Trading Advisor from such other
trading advisor or advisors; provided that any such addition to or withdrawal
from Net Assets allocated to the Trading Advisor will only take place on the
last day of a month unless the General Partner determines that the best
interests of the Partnership require otherwise.
|
4.
|
Trading Advisor
Independent.
|
For all
purposes of this Agreement, the Trading Advisor shall be deemed to be an
independent contractor and shall, unless otherwise expressly provided herein or
authorized, have no authority to act for or represent the Partnership in any way
or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Partnership or the General
Partner. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require the
Partnership or the General Partner to take any action contrary to the Limited
Partnership Agreement, the Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership
as from time to time in effect (the “Certificate of Limited Partnership”), or
any applicable law or rule or regulation of any regulatory body, exchange, or
board. Nothing herein contained shall constitute the Trading Advisor
and any other trading advisor or advisors for the Partnership, the General
Partner, or other member partnership of the Fund Group or their trading advisors
as a member of any partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate or other
entity with the Partnership or the General Partner, or, except as otherwise
specifically provided in this Agreement, be deemed to confer on any of them any
express, implied, or apparent authority to incur any obligation or liability on
behalf of any other. It is expressly agreed that the Trading Advisor
is neither a promoter, sponsor, nor issuer with respect to the
Partnership..
|
5.
|
Commodity
Brokers.
|
The
Trading Advisor shall effect all transactions in futures interests for the
Partnership through, and shall maintain a separate account with, such commodity
broker or brokers as the General Partner shall direct. At the present
time, MS&Co. shall act as the commodity broker for the Partnership, with the
exception of trades on the London Metal Exchange which will be cleared by Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx & Co. International plc, an affiliate of the General Partner
(“MSIL”). In addition, MS&Co. will act as the counterparty on all
of the foreign currency forward trades and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Capital Group Inc.
(“MSCG”) will act as the counterparty on all of the options on foreign currency
forward trades for the Partnership. The General Partner shall provide
the Trading Advisor with copies of brokerage
statements. Notwithstanding that MS&Co. and MSIL shall act as the
commodity brokers for the Partnership, the Trading Advisor may execute trades
through floor brokers other than those employed by MS&Co. and MSIL so long
as arrangements are made for such floor brokers to “give-up” or transfer the
positions to MS&Co. or MSIL and provided that the rates charged by such
floor brokers have been approved in writing by MS&Co. Except as
provided in Exhibit A hereto, the Trading Advisor will not be responsible for
paying give-up fees at rates approved by MS&Co.
|
6.
|
Fees.
|
(a) For
the services to be rendered to the Partnership by the Trading Advisor under this
Agreement, the Partnership shall pay the Trading Advisor the following
fees:
(i) A
monthly management fee, without regard to the profitability of the Trading
Advisor’s trading for the Partnership’s account, equal to 1/12 of 2% (a 2%
annual rate) of the Partnership’s Net Assets allocated to the Trading Advisor as
of the opening of business on the first day of each calendar month, commencing
with the month in which the Partnership begins to receive trading advice from
the Trading Advisor pursuant to this Agreement.
(ii) A
monthly incentive fee equal to 20% of the “Trading Profits” (as defined in
Section 6(c) hereof) experienced by the Partnership as of the end of each
calendar month, payable on a non-netted basis vis à vis other trading advisor(s)
of the Partnership.
(b) If
this Agreement is terminated on a date other than the last day of a month, the
incentive fee described above shall be determined as if such date were the end
of a month. If this Agreement is terminated on a date other than the
end of a month, the management fee described above shall be prorated based on
the ratio of the number of trading days in the month through the date of
termination to the total number of trading days in the month. If,
during any month, the Partnership does not conduct business operations, or
suspends trading for the account of the Partnership managed by the Trading
Advisor, or, as a result of an act or material failure to act by the Trading
Advisor, is otherwise unable to utilize the trading advice of the Trading
Advisor on any of the trading days of that period for any reason, the management
fee described above shall be prorated based on the ratio of the number of
trading days in the month that the Partnership account managed by the Trading
Advisor engaged in trading operations or utilized the trading advice of the
Trading Advisor to the total number of trading days in the month.
(c) As
used herein, the term “Trading Profits” shall mean net futures interests trading
profits (realized and unrealized) earned on the portion of the Partnership’s Net
Assets allocated to the Trading Advisor, decreased by the Trading Advisor’s
monthly management fees, and a pro rata portion of the brokerage fees and any
transaction fees and costs relating to the Trading Advisor’s allocated Net
Assets, if any, not included in the brokerage fees; with such trading profits
and items of decrease determined from the end of the last calendar month in
which an incentive fee was earned by the Trading Advisor or, if no incentive fee
has been earned previously by the Trading Advisor, from the date that the
Partnership begins to receive trading advice from the Trading Advisor pursuant
to this Agreement to the end of the month as of which such incentive fee
calculation is being made. Extraordinary expenses of the Partnership,
if any, will not be deducted in determining Trading Profits. No
incentive fee will be paid on interest income earned by the
Partnership.
(d) If
any payment of incentive fees is made to the Trading Advisor on account of
Trading Profits earned by the Partnership on Net Assets allocated to the Trading
Advisor and the Partnership thereafter fails to earn Trading Profits or
experiences losses for any subsequent incentive period with respect to such
amounts so allocated, the Trading Advisor shall be entitled to retain such
amounts of incentive fees previously paid to the Trading Advisor in respect of
such Trading Profits. However, no subsequent incentive fees shall be
payable to the Trading Advisor until the Partnership has again earned Trading
Profits on the Trading Advisor’s allocated Net Assets; provided, however, that if the
Trading Advisor’s allocated Net Assets are reduced or increased because of
redemptions or additions or reallocations that occur at the end of, or
subsequent to, an incentive period in which the Partnership experiences a
futures interests trading loss with respect to Net Assets allocated to the
Trading Advisor, the trading loss for that incentive period which must be
recovered before the Trading Advisor’s allocated Net Assets will be deemed to
experience Trading Profits will be equal to the amount determined by
(x) dividing the Trading Advisor’s allocated Net Assets after such increase
or decrease by the Trading Advisor’s allocated Net Assets immediately before
such increase or decrease and (y) multiplying that fraction by the amount
of the unrecovered futures interests trading loss experienced in the month prior
to such increase or decrease. In the event that the Partnership
experiences a futures interests trading loss in more than one month with respect
to the Trading Advisor’s allocated Net Assets without the payment of an
intervening incentive fee and the Trading Advisor’s allocated Net Assets are
increased or reduced in more than one such month because of redemptions or
additions or reallocations, then the trading loss for each such month shall be
adjusted in accordance with the formula described above and such increased or
reduced amount of futures interests trading loss shall be carried forward and
used to offset subsequent futures interests trading profits. The
portion of redemptions to be allocated to the Net Assets of the Partnership
managed by each of the trading advisors to the Partnership shall be in the sole
discretion of the General Partner.

any time, the Trading Advisor violates any trading or administrative policy
described in this Agreement or the Limited Partnership Agreement or otherwise
provided in writing to the Trading Advisor by the General Partner, except with
the prior express written consent of the General Partner; (H) if the Trading
Advisor fails in a material manner to perform any of its obligations under this
Agreement; or (I) if the Trading Advisor merges, consolidates or sells a
substantial portion of its assets pursuant to Section 12 of this
Agreement.
(c) The
Trading Advisor may terminate this Agreement at any time, upon thirty days’
prior written notice to the Partnership and the General Partner, in the
event: (i) that the General Partner imposes additional trading
limitation(s) in the form of one or more trading policies or administrative
policies that the Trading Advisor does not agree to follow in its management of
its allocated share of the Partnership’s Net Assets; (ii) the General
Partner objects to the Trading Advisor implementing a proposed material change
in the Trading Advisor’s Trading Program used by the Partnership and the Trading
Advisor certifies to the General Partner in writing that it believes such change
is in the best interests of the Partnership; (iii) the General Partner
overrides a trading instruction of the Trading Advisor for reasons unrelated to
those set forth in Section 2 hereof and a determination by the General Partner
that the Trading Advisor has violated the Partnership’s trading policies and the
Trading Advisor certifies to the General Partner in writing that as a result the
Trading Advisor believes the performance results of the Trading Advisor relating
to the Partnership will be materially adversely affected; (iv) the General
Partner or the Partnership materially breaches this Agreement and does not
correct the breach within ten days of receipt of a written notice of such breach
from the Trading Advisor; (v) the Partnership’s Net Assets allocated to the
Trading Advisor fall below $1,000,000 at any time; (vi) the Partnership becomes

or sells a substantial portion of its assets pursuant to Section 12 of this
Agreement, the Trading Advisor may terminate this Agreement upon prior written
notice to the General Partner and the Partnership.
(d) Except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any termination of this Agreement in

Respect of Sale of Units. The Partnership shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless the Trading Advisor, its controlling persons, their
affiliates and their respective directors, officers, principals, managers,
members, shareholders, employees and controlling persons from and against any
loss claim, damage, liability, cost, and expense, joint and several, to which
any indemnified person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act, the CEAct, the securities or Blue Sky law of any jurisdiction, or otherwise
(including any reasonable investigatory, legal, accounting and other expenses
incurred in connection with, and any amounts paid in, any litigation or other
proceeding or any settlement; provided that, solely in the case of a settlement,
the Partnership shall have approved such settlement, and in connection with any
administrative proceedings), in respect of the offer or sale of Units, unless
such loss, claim, damage, liability, cost, or expense (or action in respect
thereof) arises out of, or is based upon: (i) a breach by the Trading Advisor of
any applicable laws or regulations or any representation, warranty or agreement
in this Agreement; (ii) a breach of the disclosure requirements under the CEAct
or NFA Rules that relate to the Trading Advisor and the Trading Advisor
Principals (as defined below); or (iii) a misleading or untrue statement or
alleged misleading or untrue statement of a material fact made in the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any related selling material or an
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact therein which is required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of
the Prospectus and any selling material, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made) not misleading, and such statement or omission relates
specifically to the Trading Advisor, or its Trading Advisor Principals
(including the historical performance capsules, but excluding the pro forma
performance information except to the extent the pro forma performance
information was based on information furnished by the Trading Advisor) or was
made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information or
instructions furnished by the Trading Advisor (provided, however, that with
respect to any related selling material only such related selling material as
shall have been approved in writing by the Trading Advisor).
(e) Subject
to Section 7(a) hereof, the foregoing agreements of indemnity shall be in
addition to, and shall in no respect limit or restrict, any other remedies which
may be available to an indemnified person.
(f) Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified person of notice of the commencement of any
action, claim, or proceeding to which any of the indemnities may apply, the
indemnified person will notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party hereunder; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying
party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that the
indemnifying party may have to the indemnified person hereunder, except where
such omission has materially prejudiced the indemnifying party. In case any
action, claim, or proceeding is brought against an indemnified person and the
indemnified person notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof
as provided above, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate
therein and, to the extent that the indemnifying party desires, to assume the
defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party and not
unreasonably disapproved by the indemnified person. After notice from the
indemnifying party to the indemnified person of the indemnifying party’s
election so to assume the defense thereof as provided above, the indemnifying
party will not be liable to the indemnified person under the indemnity
provisions hereof for any legal and other expenses subsequently incurred by the
indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable
costs of investigation.
Notwithstanding
the preceding paragraph, if in any action, claim, or proceeding as to which
indemnification is or may be available hereunder, an indemnified person
reasonably determines that its interests are or may be adverse, in whole or in
part, to the indemnifying party’s interests or that there may be legal defenses
available to the indemnified person that are different from, in addition to, or
inconsistent with the defenses available to the indemnifying party, the
indemnified person may retain its own counsel in connection with such action,
claim, or proceeding and will be indemnified (provided the indemnified person is
so entitled) by the indemnifying party for any legal and other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending such action,
claim, or proceeding.
In no
event will the indemnifying party be liable for the fees and expenses of more
than one counsel for all indemnified persons in connection with any one action;
claim, or proceeding or in connection with separate but similar or related
actions, claims, or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same
general allegations. The indemnifying party will not be liable for any
settlement of any action, claim, or proceeding effected without the indemnifying
party’s express written consent, but if any action, claim, or proceeding, is
settled with the indemnifying party’s express written consent, the indemnifying
party will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless an indemnified person as
provided in this Section 8.

Right to Advise Others
and Uniformity of Acts and
Practices.
|
(a) The
Trading Advisor is engaged in the business of advising clients as to the
purchase and sale of futures interests. During the term of this
Agreement, the Trading Advisor, its principals and affiliates, will be advising
other clients (including affiliates and stockholders, officers, directors, and
employees of the Trading Advisor and its affiliates and their families) and
trading for their own accounts. The Trading Advisor will use its
reasonable best efforts, consistent with industry practice, to implement a fair
and consistent allocation policy that seeks to ensure that all clients are
treated equitably and positions allocated as nearly as possible in proportion to
the assets available for trading of the accounts managed or controlled by the
Trading Advisor. Upon written request, the General Partner may
request a copy of the Trading Advisor’s procedures regarding the equitable
treatment of trades across accounts. Such procedures shall be
provided to the General Partner within 30 days of such request by the General
Partner. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Trading Advisor
and its principals and affiliates agree to treat the Partnership in a fiduciary
capacity to the extent recognized by applicable law, but subject to that
standard. Under no circumstances shall the Trading Advisor or any of
its principals or affiliates by any act or omission knowingly or intentionally
favor any account advised or managed by the Trading Advisor or any of its
principals or affiliates over the account of the Partnership in any way or
manner. Nothing contained in this Section 9(a) shall preclude the
Trading Advisor from charging different management and/or incentive fees to its
clients. Subject to the Trading Advisor’s obligations under
applicable law, the Trading Advisor or any of its principals or affiliates shall
be free to advise and manage accounts for other clients and shall be free to
trade on the basis of the same Trading Program, trading systems, methods, or
strategies employed by the Trading Advisor for the account of the Partnership,
or trading systems, methods, or strategies that are entirely independent of, or
materially different from, those employed for the account of the Partnership,
and shall be free to compete for the same futures interests as the Partnership
or to take positions opposite to the Partnership, where such actions do not
knowingly or intentionally prefer any of such accounts over the account of the
Partnership on an overall basis.
(b) The
Trading Advisor shall not be restricted as to the number or nature of its
clients, except that: (i) so long as the Trading Advisor acts as
a trading advisor for the Partnership, neither the Trading Advisor nor any of
its principals or affiliates shall knowingly hold any position or control any
other account that would cause the Partnership, the Trading Advisor, or the
principals or affiliates of the Trading Advisor to be in violation of the CEAct
or any regulations promulgated thereunder, any other applicable law, or any
applicable rule or regulation of the CFTC or any other regulatory or
self-regulatory body, exchange, or board; and (ii) neither the Trading
Advisor nor any of its principals or affiliates shall render futures interests
trading advice to any other individual or entity or otherwise engage in activity
that shall knowingly cause positions in futures interests to be attributed to
the Trading Advisor under the rules or regulations of the CFTC or any other
regulatory or self-regulatory body, exchange, or board so as to require the
significant modification of positions taken or intended for the account of the
Partnership; provided that the Trading Advisor may modify its Trading Program,
trading systems, methods or strategies to accommodate the trading of additional
funds or accounts. If applicable speculative position limits are
exceeded by the Trading Advisor in the opinion of (i) independent counsel
(who shall be other than counsel to the Partnership), (ii) the CFTC, or
(iii) any other regulatory or self-regulatory body, exchange, or board, the
Trading Advisor and its principals and affiliates shall promptly liquidate
positions in all of their accounts, including the Partnership’s account, as to
which positions are attributed to the Trading Advisor as nearly as possible in
proportion to the accounts’ respective amounts available for trading (taking
into account different degrees of leverage and “notional” equity) to the extent
necessary to comply with the applicable position limits.

Trading Advisor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the state of its organization and is qualified to do business as a
foreign corporation and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which

Agreement. The only principals (as defined in Rule 4.10(e) under

Agreement. The Trading Advisor is registered as a commodity trading

capacity.
(viii) The
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the incurrence of the obligations set
forth herein, the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and in
the Limited Partnership Agreement and the payment of the fees hereunder will not
violate, or constitute a breach of, or default under, the certificate of
incorporation or bylaws (or any other organizational documents) of the Trading
Advisor or any other agreement or instrument by which it is bound or of any
order, rule, law or regulation binding on it of any court or any federal, state,
municipal or other governmental body or administrative agency or panel or
self-regulatory organization having jurisdiction over it.
(ix) Since
the date of the Disclosure Document, there has not been any material adverse
change in the condition, financial or otherwise, business or prospects of the
Trading Advisor or any Trading Advisor Principal.
(x) Except
as set forth in writing to the General Partner, there has not been and there is
not pending, or to the best of the Trading Advisor’s knowledge after due
inquiry, threatened, any action, suit or proceeding at law or equity before or
by any court or by any federal, state, municipal or other governmental body or
any administrative, self-regulatory or commodity exchange organization to which
the Trading Advisor or any Trading Advisor Principal is or was a party, or to
which any of the assets of the Trading Advisor or any Trading Advisor Principal
is or was subject and which resulted in or might reasonably be expected to
result in any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise,
business or prospects of the Trading Advisor. None of the Trading
Advisor or any Trading Advisor Principal has received any notice of an
investigation by the NFA, CFTC or other administrative agency or self-regulatory
body (whether United States or foreign) regarding noncompliance by the Trading
Advisor or any of the Trading Advisor Principals with the CEAct or any other
applicable law.
(xi) Neither
the Trading Advisor nor any Trading Advisor Principal has received, or is
entitled to receive, directly or indirectly, any commission, finder’s fee,
similar fee, or rebate from any person in connection with the operation of the
Partnership.
(xii) All
of the information regarding the actual performance of the accounts of the
Trading Advisor and the Trading Advisor Principals as provided in writing to the
General Partner is complete and accurate in all material respects and is in
accordance with and in compliance with the disclosure requirements under the
CEAct and the Securities Act (as applicable), including the Division of Trading
and Markets “notional equity” advisories and interpretations and the rules and
regulations of the NFA.
(xiii) The
foregoing representations and warranties shall be continuing during the term of
this Agreement and if at any time any event shall occur which could make any of
