In your representative capacity, you have determined that an investment by either the represented beneficiary or beneficial owner in the Partnership (i) is consistent with the investment objectives, (ii) is in the best interests of, and (iii) is within the risk tolerance of such investor’s investment in the Partnership.

You agree to supply the General Partner with such information as the General Partner may reasonably request in order to attempt such verification. Certain entities that invest in the Partnership may, as a result, themselves become “commodity pools” within the intent of applicable CFTC and NFA rules, and their sponsors, accordingly, may be required to register as “commodity pool operators.”
(13) You have carefully reviewed and understand the fees and expenses that are directly and indirectly assessed on the Partnership.
(14) You understand that the General Partner is an affiliate of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., which will serve as a selling agent and commodity broker for the Partnership and may, along with its affiliates, serve as an FX counterparty for the Partnership, and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx LLC, which will also serve as the selling agent for the Partnership. You further understand that the Partnership is subject to conflicts of interest as discussed in the “Conflicts of Interest” section in the Memorandum. You also understand that Citigroup Global Markets Inc. credits up to 83.33% of the brokerage fees to financial advisors who sell Units in the Partnership and the prospect of receiving these fees may provide the General Partner (including its affiliates), the Selling Agent and your Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx LLC financial advisor or private wealth advisor with interests that potentially conflict with your own in respect of your investment in the Partnership. You consent to such conflicts and you covenant not to object to or bring any proceedings against any of the foregoing relating to any such conflicts of interest, provided that Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and the relevant Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx (including Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx LLC) parties comply with the appropriate standard of liability as set forth in the Limited Partnership Agreement or any other relevant controlling agreement.
(15) You understand that the Units are illiquid and have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any similar state law, and cannot be transferred, sold, pledged or assigned except in certain limited circumstances, and with the consent of the General Partner, as set forth in the Limited Partnership Agreement.

LLC, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx LLC, or any of their affiliates with respect to any legal, tax, or economic considerations relating to your investment decision, and you further understand that the only disclosures for which the Partnership, the General Partner, Citigroup Global Markets, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co.

Failure on the part of the Partnership, the General Partner and their affiliates to challenge any act by you or to declare you in default with respect to the Partnership, the General Partner and their affiliates, irrespective of how long that failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by the Partnership, the General Partner and their affiliates of their rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute of limitations period has run.
(ii) Any waiver granted by the General Partner with respect to any term of this Agreement hereunder must be in writing, signed by an authorized representative of the General Partner, and shall be valid only in the specific instance in which given.
