If the amount of such taxes is greater than such Capital Account balance, then such Member or former Member and any successor to such Member’s Interest shall pay to the Company as a contribution to capital, upon demand, the amount of such excess. Any such withholding or other taxes related to specific Members shall be treated as a distribution to such Members and shall not be included as an expense of the Company for purposes of calculating Net Capital Appreciation or Net Capital Depreciation. Furthermore, such taxes will not be deducted as an expense of the Company for the relevant period in which such taxes were incurred for purposes of calculating the Advisory Fee and Incentive Allocation due with respect to such Member. Neither the Manager nor the Company shall be obligated to apply for or obtain a reduction of or exemption from withholding tax on behalf of any Member that may be eligible for such reduction or exemption. This Section 3.5(a) shall survive the withdrawal of any Member or termination of the Company.

Such charges shall be debited from the Capital Accounts of such Members as of the close of the Fiscal Period during which any such items were accrued by the Company.

(c) If any amount is debited from the Capital Account of any Class of any Member pursuant to this Section 3.5, then a number of Units of the same Class held by such Member having an aggregate Net Asset Value equal to such amount shall simultaneously be cancelled.

ANNEX C

3.6

Incentive Allocation.

As of the end of each Incentive Period with respect to each Class 0 Unit, Class 2 Unit, Class 3-A Unit and Class 3-B Unit of the Core Macro Portfolio, an amount (the “Incentive Allocation”) equal to twenty percent (20%) of the New High Net Trading Profits with respect to such Class as of the end of such Incentive Period shall be deducted from the Net Asset Value of such Class and credited to the Capital Account of Xxxxxx LLC.

3.7

ANNEX C

3.10

Allocations for Income Tax Purposes.

In each Fiscal Year, items of income, deduction, gain, loss or credit that are recognized for income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members in such manner as to reflect equitably amounts credited to or debited against each Capital Account of each Member, whether in such Fiscal Year or in prior Fiscal Years. To this end, the Company shall establish and maintain records which shall show the extent to which the Capital Account of each Member shall, as of the last day of each Fiscal Year, be comprised of amounts which have not been reflected in the taxable income of such Member. To the extent deemed by the Manager to be feasible and equitable, taxable income and gains in each Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Members who have enjoyed the related credits, and items of deduction, loss and credit in each Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Members who have borne the burden of the related debits. The Manager may, in its sole discretion, elect to use an "aggregate" allocation method permitted under Section 704(b)-(c) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. Taxable gain or loss realized from the sale of securities which were contributed in kind by a Member (other than gain which was recognized by such contributing Member upon such contribution pursuant to Section 721(b) of the Code) shall be allocated to the contributing Member to the extent required under Section 704(c) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. In the event a Member withdraws all or part of such Member’s Capital Account, the Manager may in its sole discretion make a special allocation to the Member for federal income tax purposes of the capital gains, ordinary income, deductions, capital losses or ordinary losses recognized by the Company in such a manner as will reduce or increase, as the case may be, the amount, if any, by which the balance of such Member’s Capital Account exceeds or is less than, as the case may be, its federal income tax basis in its interest in the Company before such allocation.

3.11

Distributions.

Except as set forth in Section 6.2(a)(iii), distributions shall be made at such time or times as the Manager may determine and shall be deducted from the Capital Accounts of the Members as of the date of the distribution. All distributions pursuant to this Section 3.11 shall be made to the Members pro rata in proportion to their Ownership Percentages.

Except as otherwise provided by law, the liability of each Member is limited to the amount of such Member's capital contributions.

4.4

Other Activities of Members.

The Manager shall not be required to devote full time to the affairs of the Company, but shall devote such time as may be reasonably required therefor. The Manager and each Member may engage in or possess an interest in any other business venture of any kind, regardless of whether or not such interest may potentially be in conflict with the interests of the Company. Neither the Manager nor any Member, nor any of their respective partners, directors, officers, shareholders, affiliates or employees, shall have any obligation to disclose or refer any investment or other opportunity to the Company or any other Member.

4.5

Duty of Care; Indemnification.

(a) The Manager shall not be liable to the Company or to any of its Members for any loss or damage occasioned by any acts or omissions in the performance of its services as Manager, unless such loss or damage is due to the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misfeasance of the Manager, or as otherwise required by law.

The right to indemnification granted by this Section 4.5 shall be in addition to any rights to which the Manager may otherwise be entitled and shall inure to the benefit of the successors or assigns of the Manager.

The Manager may not satisfy any right of indemnity or reimbursement granted in this Section 4.5 or to which it may be otherwise entitled except out of the assets of the Company, and no Member shall be personally liable with respect to any such claim for indemnity or reimbursement. The Manager may obtain appropriate insurance on behalf of the Company to secure the Company's obligations hereunder.

(c) Notwithstanding Sections 4.5(a) and (b), nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute a waiver by any Member of any of such Member’s legal rights under applicable U.S. federal securities laws or any other laws whose applicability is not permitted to be contractually waived.

ARTICLE V

ADMISSIONS, TRANSFERS AND REDEMPTIONS

5.1

Admission of Members.

The Manager may, on the first day of each Fiscal Period (or on such other day or days as the Manager may determine), and without advance notice to or consent from the Members, admit any person who shall agree to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement as a Member, unless the investment by such Member in the Company would have any of the effects described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 5.2(b) herein. The Manager shall have the absolute discretion to cause the Company to accept or reject subscriptions for Units. Effective upon such admis-sion, the Register of Members shall be revised to reflect the name and the required contribution to the capital of the Company of such additional Member and the number of Units issued to such Member.

5.2

Transfer of Units of Members.

(a) No Transfer of any Member's Units, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be valid or effective, and no transferee shall become a substituted Member, unless the prior written consent of the Manager has been obtained, which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion. In the event of any Transfer, all of the conditions of the remainder of this Section 5.2 must also be satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, assignment of the economic benefits of ownership of Units of the Fund may be made without the Manager’s consent, provided that the assignee is not an ineligible or unsuitable investor under applicable law (which would include, for example, the causing of events listed in Section 5.2(b)).

ANNEX C

(b) No Transfer of any Member's Units, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be valid or effective unless the Manager determines, after consultation with legal counsel acting for the Company, that such Transfer will not, unless waived by the Manager:

(i) require registration of any Units under any securities laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or any other jurisdiction;

(ii) subject the Company to registration under any securities or commodities laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or any other jurisdiction;

(iii) result in the Company being deemed to be a "publicly traded partnership" for purposes of Section 7704 of the Code;

(iv) result in the assets of the Company becoming "plan assets" within the meaning of ERISA; or

(v) violate or be inconsistent with any representation or warranty made by the transferring Member at the time the Member subscribed to purchase Units.

The transferring Member, or such Member’s legal representative, shall give the Manager written notice before making any voluntary Transfer and within thirty (30) days after any involuntary Transfer and shall provide sufficient information to allow legal counsel acting for the Company to make the determination that the proposed Transfer will not result in any of the consequences referred to in clauses (i) through (vi) above. If a Transfer occurs by reason of the death of a Member or assignee, the notice may be given by the duly authorized representative of the estate of the Member or assignee. The notice must be supported by proof of legal authority and valid assignment acceptable to the Manager.

(c) In the event any Transfer permitted by this Section 5.2 shall result in multiple ownership of any Member's interest in the Company, the Manager may require one or more trustees or nominees to be designated to represent a portion of or the entire interest transferred for the purpose of receiving all notices which may be given and all payments which may be made under this Agreement, and for the purpose of exercising the rights which the transferor as a Member had pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) A transferee shall be entitled to the allocations and distributions attributable to the Units transferred to such transferee and to transfer or redeem such Units in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that such transferee shall not be entitled to the other rights of a Member as a result of such transfer until he or she becomes a substituted Member.

(e) The Company and the Manager shall incur no liability for allocations and distributions made in good faith to the transferring Member until a written instrument of transfer has been received by the Company and recorded on its books and the effective date of the Transfer has passed.

ANNEX C

(f) Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any successor to any Member's Units shall be bound by the provisions hereof. Prior to recognizing any Transfer in accordance with this Section, the Manager may require the transferring Member to execute and acknowledge an instrument of transfer in form and substance satisfactory to the Manager and to pay the reasonable expenses of the Company incurred in connection with such transfer, and may require the transferee to make certain representations and warranties to the Company and the Members and to accept, adopt and approve in writing all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(g) In the event of a Transfer or in the event of a distribution of assets of the Company to any Member, the Company, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Manager, may, but shall not be required to, file an election under Section 754 of the Code and in accordance with the applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, to cause the basis of the Company's assets to be adjusted for federal income tax purposes as provided by Sections 734 or 743 of the Code.

5.3

Transfer of Interest of Manager.

The Manager may not transfer its interest as Manager in the Company other than (a) pursuant to a transaction not deemed to involve an assignment of its investment management obligations within the meaning of the Advisers Act, or (b) with the approval of a Majority of the Members. By executing this Agreement, each Member shall be deemed to have consented to any such transfer permitted by clause (a) of the preceding sentence.

5.4

Redemptions of Units.

(a) Members may not require the Company to redeem Units prior to the dissolution of the Company, except as provided in this Section 5.4.

(b) Except as provided in this Section 5.4(b) and in Section 5.4(i), a Member may voluntarily redeem some or all of such Member’s Units effective as of the last day of each month at the Net Asset Value Per Unit of such Units as of such date, by giving irrevocable written notice to the administrator of the Company at least three (3) business days prior to the proposed redemption date, or such other notice or dates as the Manager in its sole and absolute discretion may determine, indicating in such notice the number of Units to be redeemed or the amount from such Member's Capital Account to be withdrawn on account of such redemption. The Manager may, in its sole and absolute discretion, decline any request by a Member for the redemption of some but not all of a Member’s Units if:

(i) the proceeds of such redemption to be received by such Member would be less than US$10,000;

(ii) such redemption relates to Class 0 Units and would result in the Member holding Class 0 Units with an aggregate Net Asset Value of less than US$10,000; or

ANNEX C

(iii) such redemption relates to Class 2 Units and would result in the Member holding Class 2 Units with an aggregate Net Asset Value of less than US$10,000;

(iv) such redemption relates to Class 3-A Units and would result in the Member holding Class 3-A Units with an aggregate Net Asset Value of less than US$10,000; or

(v) such redemption relates to Class 3-B Units and would result in the Member holding Class 3-B Units with an aggregate Net Asset Value of less than US$10,000.

(c) The Manager may voluntarily withdraw some or all of its Capital Account as of the last day of each calendar month pursuant to this Section 5.4 without giving notice to the Members.

(d) Except as provided in Sections 5.4(h) and (i), payment of the redemption price for any Unit that is redeemed shall be equal to the Net Asset Value of the Units that are redeemed as of the redemption date, less any Administration Fees or the Incentive Allocation due with respect to the redeemed Units, and will normally be made in cash within fifteen (15) days after the effective date of such redemption, without interest.

(e) Upon receipt by the Manager of a Member's notice of intention to redeem Units, the Manager may manage the assets of the Company in a manner which would provide for cash being available to satisfy such Member's request for redemption of Units, but the Manager shall be under no obligation to effect sales of assets if the Manager, in its discretion, determines that such transactions might be detrimental to the interests of the other Members or that such transactions are not reasonably practicable. In the event that on the date of redemption the redemption cannot be fully funded with cash, the Manager may transfer to the Member Investments selected by the Manager, the fair market value of which together with any cash distributed would satisfy the Member's request for redemption.

(f) [Intentionally omitted]

(g) The Manager may, by notice to a Member, mandatorily redeem some or all of the Member's Units pursuant to this Section 5.4, effective on any date designated by the Manager. The amount due to any such Member whose Units are mandatorily redeemed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be equal to the Net Asset Value of such Units as of the effective date of the redemption.

(h) The right of any Member to redeem Units pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.4 is subject to the provision by the Manager for all liabilities of the Company.

ANNEX C

(i) The right of any Member to redeem Units or to receive a distribution from the Company, pursuant to this Section 5.4 may be suspended or restricted as determined by the Manager:

(i) when any securities exchange, board of trade or organized inter-dealer market on which a significant portion of the assets of the Company or any Master Fund is regularly quoted or traded is closed (other than for holidays) or trading thereon has been restricted or suspended;

(ii) whenever, as a result of events, conditions or circumstances beyond the control or responsibility of the Company, disposal of assets of the Company or other transactions in the ordinary course of the Company’s business involving the sale, transfer, delivery or withdrawal of Investments or funds is not reasonably practical without being detrimental to the interests of the Company or the Members;

(iii) if, for any reason, it is not reasonably practicable to make an accurate and timely determination of the Net Asset Value of the Company or the Units; or

(iv) if the Manager has adopted a resolution calling for the liquidation and dissolution of the Company.

The Manager will promptly notify each Member who has submitted a redemption request and to whom payment in full of Net Asset Value of the Units being redeemed has not yet been remitted of any such suspension or restriction of redemption or distribution rights pursuant to this Section 5.4(i). The Manager may allow any such Members to rescind their redemption request to the extent of any portion thereof for which redemption proceeds have not yet been remitted. The Manager may in its discretion complete any redemptions or distributions as of a date after the cause of any such suspension has ceased to exist to be specified by the Manager as the effective date of redemption for all purposes of this Section 5.4.

(j) Any Units that are redeemed shall not share in the income, gains and losses of the Company or have any other rights after the effective date of the redemption.

(k) The Manager may in its sole discretion waive any requirement or restriction applicable to a redemption of Units by any Member.

ANNEX C

ARTICLE VII

ACCOUNTING AND VALUATIONS;

BOOKS AND RECORDS

7.1

Accounting and Reports.

(a) The Company may adopt for tax accounting purposes any accounting method which the Manager shall decide in its sole discretion is in the best interests of the Company and which is permissible for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(b) As soon as practicable after the end of each Fiscal Year, the Manager shall cause the financial statements of the Company as of the end of each such Fiscal Year to be audited by a firm of certified public accountants selected by the Manager; and as soon as is practicable thereafter, a copy of a set of financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including the report of such certified public accountants, shall be furnished to each Member.

(c) As soon as practicable after the end of each taxable year, the Manager shall furnish to each Member such information as may be required to enable each Member properly to report for federal and state income tax purposes such Member’s distributive share of each item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Company for such year.

7.2

Valuation of Assets.

(a) The Manager shall value or have valued the Investments of the Company as of the close of business on the last day of each Fiscal Period. In addition, the Manager shall value Investments which are being distributed in kind as of their date of distribution in accordance with Section 5.4(e) or 6.2(b). In determining the value of the assets of the Company, no value shall be placed on the goodwill or name of the Company, or the office records, files, statistical data or any similar intangible assets of the Company not normally reflected in the Company's accounting records, but there shall be taken into consideration any related items of income earned but not received, expenses incurred but not yet paid, liabilities fixed or contingent, prepaid expenses to the extent not otherwise reflected in the books of account, and the value of options or commitments to purchase or sell Investments pursuant to agreements entered into on or prior to such valuation date. Valuation of Investments made pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be based on all relevant factors and is expected to comply generally with the following guidelines:

ANNEX C

(i) Securities are valued at the last reported sales price on the principal securities exchange or market on which such securities are traded. In the absence of reported sales prices on the valuation date, and in the case of non-listed securities, whether held long or sold short, portfolio positions generally are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and offer quotations. The value of assets is recorded at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Manager, in the absence of current quotations or if the Manager concludes that such quotations are not indicative of fair value by reason of illiquidity of a particular asset or other factors. Independent appraisals generally will not be obtained in these situations. Securities or other assets that are not readily marketable generally are valued in good faith by the Manager.

(ii) The value of unrealized gain or loss on open futures contracts shall be recorded as the difference between the contract price on the trade date and the closing price reported as of the valuation date on the primary exchange on which such contracts are traded.

(iii) The value of any option listed or traded on any recognized foreign or U.S. exchange shall be the settle price published by the principal exchange upon which it is traded as of the valuation date. If the recognized foreign or US exchange does not publish a settle price, the value of any options listed or traded on any recognized foreign or U.S. securities exchange shall be the last reported sale price on the relevant valuation date on the principal exchange on which such option is traded. If no such sale of such option was reported on that date, the market value shall be the average of the last reported bid and asked price. The market value of any over-the-counter option for which representative broker’s quotations are available shall be determined in like manner by reference to the last reported sale price, or, if none is available, to the average of the last reported bid and asked quotation. Provisions for the sale of such options written by the Company shall be included in the assets of the Company, and the market value of such options shall be included as a liability.

(iv) Interests held by the Company in the Offshore Feeder, and indirectly in the Feeder Funds and the Master Funds, will be valued in the same manner as provided in this Section 7.2(a).

(b) The fair value of any assets not referred to in Section 7.2(a) (or the valuation of any assets referred to therein in the event that the Manager shall determine that there is no active market or that another method of valuation is advisable in the circumstances) shall be determined by or pursuant to the direction of the Manager.

(c) Appropriate reserves may be accrued for contingent liabilities in such amounts (subject to increase or reduction) and at such times as the Manager in its sole discretion deems necessary or appropriate.

(d) Except as otherwise determined by or at the direction of the Manager: (i) investment and trading transactions shall be accounted for on the trade date; and (ii) for purposes of determining gain or loss on investment, cost of investments sold shall be determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Accounts shall be maintained in U.S. dollars, and except as otherwise determined by or at the direction of the Manager: (A) assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars shall be translated at the rates of exchange in effect at the close of the Fiscal Period (and exchange adjustments shall be recorded in the results of operations); and (B) investment and trading transactions and income and expenses shall be translated at the rates of exchange in effect at the time of each transaction.

ANNEX C

(e) The Net Asset Value Per Unit of each Class as of any date shall equal the Net Asset Value of the Company, determined as provided in this Section 7.2, attributable to such Class divided by the number of outstanding Units of such Class on such date.

(f) The value of each Investment of the Company and the Net Asset Value of the Company as a whole and of each Class of Units determined pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be conclusive and binding on all of the Members and all parties claiming through or under them absent bad faith or manifest error on the part of the Manager, and may not in any event be disputed after the completion of the next audit of the financial statements of the Company.

7.3

Determinations by Manager.

(a) All matters concerning the determination and allocation among the Members of the amounts to be determined and allocated pursuant to Sections 3.4 through 3.8 hereof, and the items of income, gain, deduction, loss and credit to be determined and allocated pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof, including any taxes thereon and accounting procedures applicable thereto, shall be determined by the Manager unless specifically and expressly otherwise provided for by the provisions of this Agreement, and such determinations and allocations shall be final and binding on all the Members.

(b) The Manager may make such adjustments to the computation of Net Capital Appreciation or Net Capital Depreciation of the Company with respect to any Member, or any component items comprising any of the foregoing as it considers appropriate to reflect fairly and accurately the financial results of the Company and the intended allocation thereof among the Members.

7.4

Books and Records.

The Manager shall keep books and records pertaining to the affairs of the Company showing all of its assets and liabilities, receipts and disbursements, realized income, gains and losses, Members' Capital Accounts and all transactions entered into by the Company. Such books and records of the Company shall be kept at its principal office, and all Members and their representatives shall at all reasonable times have free access thereto for the purpose of inspecting or copying the same.

7.5

Tax Matters.

The Manager will (a) cause the Company to make any election reasonably determined to be necessary or appropriate in order to ensure the treatment of the Company as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (b) not cause or permit the Company to elect to be excluded from the provisions of Subchapter K of the Code or to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and (c) cause the Company to file any required tax returns in a manner consistent with its treatment as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

ANNEX C

7.6

Confidentiality.

(a) Each Member acknowledges that, during the period of such Member’s investment in the Company, such Member may have access to confidential and proprietary information of the Company, including, without limitation, information regarding investment and trading strategies and investments made and positions held by the Company.

(b) During the period of a Member’s investment in the Company or at any time thereafter, confidential information of the Company may not be used in any way by such Member or former Member for such Member’s own private or commercial purposes (other than in connection with such Member’s evaluation of the Company) or, directly or indirectly, disclosed to or discussed with any other person or entity, except those owners, directors, officers, employees, accountants, attorneys or agents of the Member whose access to such information is reasonably necessary for such Member’s operations and who are bound by similar obligations as to non-disclosure of confidential information, or except as required by law.

(c) Each Member acknowledges and agrees that the Company and the Manager may be harmed irreparably by a violation of this Section 7.6 and that the Company and the Manager shall be entitled to injunctive relief, to enforcement of this Section 7.6 by specific performance and to damages in the event of any such breach. Each Member agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.

(d) Notwithstanding Sections 7.6(a) and (b), a Member may disclose the tax treatment and the tax structure (within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation 1.6011-4(b)(3)) of the Company.

ANNEX C

8.8

Bank Holding Company Act.

If any Member’s voting interest in the Company is determined at any time to be in the aggregate in excess of 4.9% of the total outstanding voting interests of the Members, and such Member is a bank holding company (or a subsidiary thereof), as defined in the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA"), or otherwise subject to the provisions of the BHCA as if it were a bank holding company, the voting interest in the Company of such Member shall be deemed to be a non-voting interest to the extent of such excess above 4.9% (whether or not subsequently transferred in whole or in part to any other person). Non-voting interests shall not be counted as interests in the Company held by a Member for purposes of determining whether any vote or consent required has been approved under this Agreement or given by the requisite percentage of interests of Members entitled to vote. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Member that is a financial holding company under the BHCA permitted to engage in merchant banking activities thereunder may elect to be excluded from the coverage of the immediately preceding sentence by delivering written notice thereof to the Manager, which election may be revoked at any time by such Member in its discretion. Except as provided in this Section 8.8, an interest in the Company which is held by a Member as a non-voting interest will be identical in all respects to all other interests in the Company held by Members.
