SECTION
3.
|
OFFERING
AND SALE OF UNITS.
|
(a)
|
The
Lead Selling Agent is hereby appointed the principal selling agent of the
Trust during the term specified for the purpose of finding acceptable
Additional Selling Agents that are duly registered as a broker-dealer in
each jurisdiction in which such broker-dealer will markets Units. Units
may be sold as of the close of business on the last day of each month on a
continuous basis until the maximum amount of Units that are registered are
sold (the “Offering Period”; and the date of each Closing, each a
‘‘Closing Time”). The Managing Owner may terminate the Offering Period at
any time subject to the performance by the Managing Owner of all its
obligations to be performed hereunder. Based on the
completeness and accuracy in all material respects of all the
representations and warranties of the Managing Owner contained herein, the
Lead Selling Agent hereby accepts such agency and agrees on the terms and
conditions herein set forth to use its best efforts during the Offering
Period to retain qualified Additional Selling Agents to procure
subscribers for the Units at the current net asset value (the Net Asset
Value”) per Unit, with each such subscriber procured by said Additional
Selling Agents being required to subscribe for at least $5,000 of Units,
$2,000 of Units in the case of trustees or custodians of
eligible
|
7
|
employee
benefit plans and individual retirement accounts and $1,000 of Units in
the case of existing holders of Units (“Unitholders”). It is understood
that the Lead Selling Agent’s agreement to use its best efforts to find
acceptable Additional Selling Agents for the Units shall not prevent it
from acting in a similar capacity for the securities of other issuers
which may be offered or sold during the Offering Period. The agency of the
Lead Selling Agent hereunder shall continue, subject to the provisions of
Section 10 of this Agreement, for such period as the Lead Selling Agent
and the Managing Owner shall agree
upon.
|
(b)
|
No
selling commissions will be paid from the proceeds of sales of Units. The
Lead Selling Agent will compensate its own duly licensed registered
representatives (the “Registered Representatives”) pursuant to the Lead
Selling Agent’s standard compensation procedures. The Lead Selling Agent
will cause the Managing Owner in its capacity as the paying agent or the
paying agent’s designee to pay Additional Selling Agents selling
commissions of up to 2.0% of the Net Asset Value of each Class A Unit sold
by the Registered Representative of each such Additional Selling Agent
(the “Selling Commission”). The Managing Owner will pay the Selling
Commission at such time as the Units are sold and will be reimbursed by
the Trust at a rate of 1/12 of 2.35% of the Net Asset Value of each Class
A Unit on a monthly basis until the earlier of (i) such time as the
Managing Owner has been reimbursed up to 2.35% of the initial Net Asset
Value of the Units or (ii) such time as the respective Units have been
held for 12 months (the “Selling Commission Reimbursement”). No
selling commission will be paid with respect to Class B
Units. The Lead Selling Agent will cause the payment of up to
2.0% per annum of the month-end Net Asset Value of the Class A Units
attributable to Class A Units sold by a Registered Representative of the
Additional Selling Agent to the Registered Representative who, at the time
such payment is made, has agreed to provide the additional services
described below beginning in the month in which the Managing Owner no
longer receives the Selling Commission Reimbursement pursuant to the
4th
sentence of this Section 3(b).
|
(c)
|
The
ongoing compensation described in Section 3(b) will only be paid to
eligible Registered Representatives and is contingent upon the provision
by a Registered Representative who sold outstanding Units in his capacity
as a registered representative of the Additional Selling Agent of
additional services in connection with such Units, including: (i)
inquiring of the Managing Owner from time to time, at the request of an
owner of such Units, as to the Net Asset Value of a Unit; (ii) inquiring
of the Managing Owner from time to time, at the request of an owner of
such Units, regarding the commodities markets and the Trust; (iii)
assisting, at the request of the Managing Owner, in the redemption of
Units sold by such Registered Representative; and (iv) providing such
other services to the owners of such Units as the Managing Owner may, from
time to time, reasonably request.
|
(d)
|
Ongoing
compensation shall be paid only in respect of Units sold by Registered
Representatives who are eligible to receive such ongoing compensation as
described above. No ongoing compensation whatsoever shall be paid on any
Units sold by Registered Representatives not eligible to receive such
ongoing compensation at the time of payment. With respect to particular
Units substitute Registered Representatives who are appropriately
registered and who agree in writing to perform the services described in
Section 3(b) above with respect to such Units (“Substitute Registered
Representatives”) may also receive ongoing compensation with respect to
such Units. Such ongoing compensation shall be paid
monthly.
|
8
(e)
|
Payment
of such ongoing compensation shall be limited to the maximum amount
permissible pursuant to FINRA Rule
2810.
|
(f)
|
Ongoing
compensation which cannot be paid because an Additional Selling Agent (or
a Registered Representative) has not met the eligibility requirements
shall he retained by the Lead Selling Agent or the Managing
Owner.
|
(g)
|
The
Lead Selling Agent will use its best efforts to find eligible Additional
Selling Agents to market the Units on the terms stated herein and in the
Registration Statement and Prospectus. It is understood that the Lead
Selling Agent has no commitment with regard to the appointment of
Additional Selling Agents other than to use its best efforts. In
connection with the appointment of Additional Selling Agents, the Lead
Selling Agent represents that it will comply fully with all applicable
laws, and the rules of FINRA, the SEC, the CFTC, state securities
administrators and any other regulatory body. In particular, and not by
way of limitation, the Lead Selling Agent represents and warrants that it
is aware of FINRA Rule 2810 and that it will comply fully with all the
terms thereof in connection with the offering and sale of the Units. The
Lead Selling Agent shall cause the Additional Selling Agents that it shall
appoint to not execute any sales of Units from a discretionary account
over which it has control without prior written approval of the customer
in whose name such discretionary account is
maintained.
|
(h)
|
The
Lead Selling Agent shall cause any Additional Selling Agents that it shall
appoint to agree not to recommend the purchase of Units to any subscriber
unless the Additional Selling Agent shall have reasonable grounds to
believe, on the basis of information obtained from the subscriber
concerning, among other things, the subscriber’s investment objectives,
other investments, financial situation and needs, that the subscriber is
or will be in a financial position appropriate to enable the subscriber to
realize to a significant extent the benefits of the Trust, including tax
benefits described in the Prospectus; the subscriber has a fair market net
worth sufficient to sustain the risks inherent in participating in the
Trust, including loss of investment and lack of liquidity; and the Units
are otherwise a suitable investment for the subscriber. The Lead Selling
Agent shall cause any Additional Selling Agent that it shall appoint to
maintain files of information disclosing the basis upon which the
Additional Selling Agent determined that the suitability requirements of
FINRA Rule 2810 were met as to each subscriber (the basis for determining
suitability may include the Subscription Agreements and other certificates
submitted by subscribers). The Lead Selling Agent represents and warrants
that it has reasonable grounds to believe, based on information in the
Prospectus and information to which the Lead Selling Agent has otherwise
had access from RJOFM, that all material facts relating to an investment
in the Units are adequately and accurately disclosed in the Prospectus. In
connection with making the foregoing representations and warranties, the
Lead Selling Agent further represents and warrants that it has, among
other things, examined the following sections in the Prospectus and
obtained such additional information from RJOFM regarding the information

(i)

None
of the Lead Selling Agent, the Trust or the Managing Owner shall, directly

compensation to any person engaged by a potential investor for investment
advice as an inducement to such advisor to advise the purchase of Units;

Upon
the reasonable request of the Lead Selling Agent, RJOFM agrees to cause
its counsel to prepare and deliver to the Lead Selling Agent a Blue Sky
Survey which shall set forth, for the guidance of the Lead Selling Agent,
in which United States jurisdictions the Units may be offered and sold. It
is understood and agreed that the Lead Selling Agent may rely, in
connection with the offering and sale of Units in any jurisdiction, on
advice given by such counsel as to the legality of the offer or sale of
the Units in such jurisdiction, provided, however, that
the Lead Selling Agent, and Additional Selling Agent shall be responsible
for compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations with
respect to the actions of its employees, acting as such, in connection
with sales of Units in any
jurisdiction.

SECTION

|
COVENANTS
OF THE MANAGING OWNER.
|
(a)
|
The
Managing Owner will notify the Lead Selling Agent and confirm such
notification in writing (i) when any amendment to the Registration
Statement shall have become effective, (ii) of the receipt of any comments
from the SEC, CFTC or any other federal or state regulatory body with
respect to the Registration Statement, (iii) of any request by the SEC,
CFTC or any other federal or state regulatory body for any amendment to
the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the
Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto and (iv) of the
issuance by the SEC, CFTC or any other federal or state regulatory body of
any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement under
the 1933 Act, the CFTC registration or NFA membership of the Managing
Owner as a commodity pool operator, or the registration of Units under the
Blue Sky or securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction or any
order or decree enjoining the offering or the use of the then current
Prospectus or of the institution, or notice of the intended institution,
of any action or proceeding for that
purpose.
|
(b)
|
The
Managing Owner will deliver to the Lead Selling Agent, as soon as
available, a signed copy of each amendment to the Registration Statement
as originally filed and the exhibits thereto, and will also deliver to the
Lead Selling Agent such number of conformed copies of the Registration
Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto (without
exhibits) as the Lead Selling Agent shall reasonably
require.
|
(c)
|
The
Managing Owner will deliver to the Lead Selling Agent as promptly as
practicable from time to time during the period when the Prospectus is
required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, such number of copies of the
Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) as the Lead Selling Agent and
Additional Selling Agents may reasonably request for the purposes
contemplated by the 1933 Act or the SEC
Regulations.
|
(d)
|
During
the period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered pursuant to the
1933 Act, the Managing Owner and the Trust will use best efforts to comply
with all requirements imposed upon them by the 1933 Act and the CEAct,
each as now and hereafter amended, and by the SEC Regulations and rules
and regulations of the CFTC, as from time to time in force, so far as
necessary to permit the continuance of sales of, or dealings in, the Units
during such period in accordance with the provisions hereof and as set
forth in the Prospectus.
|
(e)
|
If
any event relating to or affecting the Managing Owner or the Trust shall
occur as a result of which it is necessary, in the reasonable opinion of
the Managing Owner or the Lead Selling Agent, to amend or supplement the
Prospectus in order to make the Prospectus not materially misleading in
light of the circumstances existing at the
time
|
11
|
it
is delivered to a subscriber, the Managing Owner and the Trust will
forthwith prepare and furnish to the Lead Selling Agent, at the expense of
the Managing Owner, a reasonable number of copies of an amendment or
amendments of, or a supplement or supplements to, the Prospectus which
will amend or supplement the Prospectus so that as amended or supplemented
it will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances existing at the time the Prospectus is
delivered to a subscriber, not misleading. No such amendment or supplement
shall be filed without the approval of the Lead Selling Agent and their
counsel.
|
(f)
|
The
Managing Owner will use best efforts to qualify the Units for offer and
sale under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws and continue such
qualification throughout the Offering Period, provided that in no event
shall the Managing Owner or the Trust be obligated to (1) take any action
which would subject it to service of process in suits other than those
arising out of the offering or sale of the Units, or taxes, in any
jurisdiction where any of them is not now so subject, (ii) change any
material term in the Registration Statement, or (iii) expend a sum of
money considered unreasonable by
RJOFM.
|
SECTION
5.
|
PAYMENT
OF EXPENSES AND FEES.
|
RJOFM, as
necessary, will advance the expenses incident to the performance of the
obligations of the Managing Owner and the Trust hereunder, including: (i) the
printing and delivery to the Lead Selling Agent and Additional Selling Agents in
quantities as hereinabove stated of copies of the Registration Statement and all
amendments thereto, of the Prospectus and any supplements or amendments thereto,
and of any supplemental sales materials; (ii) the reproduction of this Agreement
and the printing and filing of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus
(and, in certain cases, the exhibits thereto) with the SEC, CFTC and NFA; (iii)
the qualification of the Units under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws in the
various jurisdictions, including filing fees and the fees and disbursements of
RJOFM’s counsel incurred in connection therewith; (iv) the services of counsel
and accountants for RJOFM and the Trust, including certain services of CF &
Co LLP in connection with their review of the performance records in the
Prospectus; (v) the printing or reproduction and delivery to the Lead Selling
Agent of such number of copies as it may reasonably request of the Blue Sky
Survey; and (vi) “road show” presentations.
The
Managing Owner and the Lead Selling Agent are each aware of the limitations
imposed by FINRA Rule 2810 on the aggregate compensation which may be received
by the Lead Selling Agent in connection with the offering and sale of the Units
registered after October 2004. The Lead Selling Agent will in no event make any
payments to its own Registered Representatives or cause any payments to be made
to any Additional Selling Agents, which in the aggregate would exceed 10% of the
gross proceeds raised at the time of the offering.

|
SECTION
7.
|
INDEMNIFICATION
AND EXCULPATION.
|
(a)
|
Indemnification
By The Managing Owner. The Managing Owner agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Lead Selling Agent and each person, if any, who controls the
Leading Selling Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, as
follows:
|
(i)
|
against
any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever arising
out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any
omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not
misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus (or any amendment
or supplement thereto) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
and
|
(ii)
|
against
any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever to the
extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or
any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body
commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such
untrue statement or omission or any such alleged untrue statement or
omission (any settlement to be subject to indemnity hereunder only if
effected with the written consent of the Managing Owner);
and
|
(iii)
|
against
any and all expense whatsoever (including the fees and disbursements of
counsel and, in the case of the Lead Selling Agent, or Additional Selling
Agent made pursuant to a Additional Selling Agent Agreement) reasonably
incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against litigation, or
any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body,
commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such
untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or
omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under clauses
(i) or (ii) above.
|
In no
case shall the Managing Owner be liable under this indemnity to the Lead Selling
Agent if such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating
to the Lead Selling Agent and furnished or approved by the Selling Agent, or to
any Additional Selling Agent, if such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information
(including any material omission from such information), if any, relating to,
such Additional Selling Agent and furnished or approved by such
party.
13
In no
case shall the Managing Owner be liable under this indemnity agreement with
respect to any claim made against any indemnified party unless the Managing
Owner shall be notified in writing of the nature of the claim within a
reasonable time after the assertion thereof, but failure to so notify the
Managing Owner shall not relieve the Managing Owner from any liability which
they may have than on account of this indemnity agreement unless such failure to
notify shall materially prejudice the Managing Owner. The Managing Owner shall
be entitled to participate at their own expense in the defense or if they so
elect within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, to assume the
defense of that portion of any suit so brought relating to the Managing Owner’s
indemnification obligations hereunder, which defense shall be conducted by
counsel chosen by them and satisfactory to the indemnified party or parties,
defendant or defendants therein. In the event that the Managing Owner elects to
assume the defense of any such suit and retain such counsel, the indemnified
party or parties, defendant or defendants in the suit, shall, in the absence of
conflicting claims, bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel
thereafter retained by it or them.
In no
event, however, shall the Managing Owner be obligated to indemnify the Lead
Selling Agent hereunder, and the Lead Selling Agent agrees not to attempt to
obtain any indemnity from the Managing Owner hereunder, to the extent that the
Managing Owner and the Lead Selling Agent are advised by counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Managing Owner and the Lead Selling Agent that payment of
such indemnity could adversely affect the classification of the Trust as a
partnership for Federal income tax purposes.
The
Managing Owner agrees to notify the Lead Selling Agent within a reasonable time
of the assertion of any claim in connection with the sale of the Units against
it or any of its officers or directors or any person who controls either of the
Managing Owner within the meaning of Xxxxxxx 00 xx xxx 0000 Xxx.
(x)
|
Indemnification
By The Lead Selling Agent. The Lead Selling Agent agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the Trust and the Managing Owner and each person, if any,
who controls the Trust and the Managing Owner within the meaning of
Section 15 of the 1933 Act (and in the case of the Managing Owner and the
Trust, each person who signed the Registration Statement or is a director
of the Managing Owner), (i) to the same extent as the indemnity from the
Managing Owner set forth in 10(a) hereof, but only insofar as the losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses indemnified against arise out of
or are based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission relating or with respect to the Lead Selling Agent
or any of its principals, or their operations, which was made in any
preliminary prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or
any amendment or supplement thereto and furnished by or approved by the
Lead Selling Agent for inclusion therein and (ii) against any and all
loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever resulting from a
demand, claim, lawsuit, action or proceeding relating to the actions or
capacities of the Lead Selling Agent (including a breach of its
obligations hereunder) and any Additional Selling Agent relating to the
offering of Units under this Agreement or any Additional Selling Agent
Agreement.
|
(c)
|
Contribution.
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is not permitted
under applicable law under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by such parties.
|

SECTION
8.
|
STATUS
OF PARTIES.
|
In
selling the Units for the Trust, the Lead Selling Agent is acting solely as an
agent for the Trust and not as a principal. The Lead Selling Agent will use its
best efforts to assist the Trust in obtaining performance by each purchaser
whose offer to purchase Units from the Trust has been accepted on behalf of the
Trust, but the Lead Selling Agent shall not have any liability to the Trust in
the event that Subscription Agreements are improperly completed or any such
purchase is not consummated for any reason. Except as specifically provided
herein, the Lead Selling Agent shall in no respect be deemed to be an agent of
the Trust.
SECTION
9.

REPRESENTATIONS.
WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS TO
SURVIVE
DELIVERY.

All
representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or
contained in certificates of any party hereto submitted pursuant hereto shall

or any person who controls any of the foregoing.

TERMINATION.
|
(a)
|
This
Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) such date as the Lead
Selling Agent may determine by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the
other parties to this Agreement, (ii) such date as the Trust may determine
by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Lead Selling Agent or,
without such notice, upon termination of the offering of the Units or
(iii) by the Trust, without notice, upon breach by the Lead Selling Agent
of, or non-compliance by the Lead Selling Agent with, any material term of
this Agreement.
|
(b)
|
The
termination of this Agreement for any reason set forth in Sections
10(a)(i) or 10(a)(ii) shall not

(i)
|
the
ongoing obligations of the Trust to pay selling commissions, ongoing
compensation or installment selling commissions accrued prior to the
termination hereof, or
|
(ii)
|
the
indemnification obligations under Section 7 hereof. In the event this
Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10(a)(iii), the Managing Owner
may withhold accrued but unpaid selling commissions and ongoing
compensation or installment selling commissions due the Lead Selling Agent
until the Trust has been put in the same financial position as it would
have been absent such breach or
non-compliance.
|
SECTION
11.
|
ASSIGNMENT.
|
This
Agreement may be transferred and assigned by any party hereto only with the
prior express written consent of all other parties. The Lead Selling Agent may
transfer and assign any agreement with an Additional Selling Agent only with the
prior express written consent of the Additional Selling Agent that is a party to
that agreement and of the Managing Owner.

PARTIES.

This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Lead Selling

respective successors to the extent provided herein. This Agreement and the
conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be and are for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns
and controlling persons and parties indemnified hereunder, and for the benefit
of no other person, firm or corporation. No purchaser of a Unit shall be
considered to be a successor or assign solely on the basis of such

The
parties acknowledge that the obligations of this Agreement are not binding
against the Unitholders individually but are binding only upon the assets and

any Unitholder for the satisfaction of such obligation or claim.
SECTION

agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties created hereby shall be

|
Whenever
in this Agreement it is stated that a party will take or refrain from taking a
particular action, such party may nevertheless refrain from taking or take such
action if advised by counsel that doing so is required by law or advisable to
ensure compliance with law, and shall not be subject to any liability hereunder
for doing so, although such action shall permit termination of the Agreement by
the other parties hereto.
If the
foregoing is in accordance with each party’s understanding of its agreement,
each party is requested to sign and return to RJOFM as Managing Owner a
counterpart hereof, whereupon this instrument along with all counterparts will
become a binding agreement between us in accordance with its terms.

X.X.
X’Xxxxx Securities, LLC’s Business Continuity Planning
X.X.
X’Xxxxx Securities, LLC has developed a Business Continuity Plan on how we will
respond to events that significantly disrupt our business. Since the timing and
impact of disasters and disruptions is unpredictable, we will have to be
flexible in responding to actual events as they occur. With that in mind, we are
providing you with this information on our business continuity
plan.
Contacting Us – If after a
significant business disruption you cannot contact us as you usually do at (000)
000-0000, you should call our alternative number (000) 000-0000.
Our Business Continuity Plan –
We plan to quickly recover and resume business operations after a significant
business disruption and respond by safeguarding our employees and property,
making a financial and operational assessment, protecting the firm’s books and
records, and allowing our customers to transact business. In short, our business
continuity plan is designed to permit our firm to resume operations as quickly
as possible, given the scope and severity of the significant business
disruption.
Our
business continuity plan addresses: data back up and recovery; all mission
critical systems; financial and operational assessments; alternative
communications with customers, employees, business constituents, and regulators;
alternate physical location of employees; critical supplier, contractor, bank
and counter-party impact; and regulatory reporting.
Varying Disruptions –
Significant business disruptions can vary in their scope, such as only our firm,
a single building housing our firm, the business district where our firm is
located, the city where we arc located, or the whole region. Within each of
these areas, the severity of the disruption can also vary from minimal to
severe. In a disruption to only our firm or a building housing our firm, we will
transfer our operations to a local site when needed and expect to recover and
resume business within one day. In a disruption affecting our business district,
city, or region, we will transfer our operations to a site outside of the
affected area, and recover and resume business within 2 days. In either
situation, we plan to continue in business, and notify you through telephone or
email with information on how to contact us. If the significant business
disruption is so severe that it prevents us from remaining in business, we will
assure our customer’s prompt access to their funds and securities.
For more information – If you
have questions about our business continuity planning, you can contact us at
000-000-0000 or at xxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx
