Re: | Waiver of Portion of Advisory Fees in Connection with Investments in Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Cayman Commodity Fund, Ltd. |
Dear Sir or Madam:
Reference is made to the Management Agreement by and between Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Asset Management,
Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Funds Management, L.P., Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Asset Management International and Xxxxxxx
Xxxxx Trust, a business trust organized under the laws of Delaware (the “Trust”), dated
April 30, 1997 (as further amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“Management Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Trust pays, for and on behalf of the Xxxxxxx Xxxxx
Commodity Strategy Fund, a series thereof (the “Fund”), an investment advisory fee to
Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”) as specified in such agreement (the “Fund
Management Fee”).
The Trust, for and on behalf of the Fund, intends to invest in Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Cayman Commodity Fund,
Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Subsidiary”) in respect of which GSAM (i)
provides management services and (ii) receives a management fee (the “Subsidiary Management
Fee”) pursuant to a management agreement by and between the Subsidiary and GSAM dated June 17,
2009 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Subsidiary
Agreement”).
In consideration of the Subsidiary Management Fee paid by the Subsidiary in which the Trust invests
for and on behalf of the Fund, and for as long as the Subsidiary Agreement remains in effect, GSAM
agrees to waive irrevocably all or any portion of (i) the Fund Management Fee that would otherwise
be paid by the Trust for and on behalf of the Fund to GSAM in any period in an amount equal to the
amount of Subsidiary Management Fee, if any, actually paid by the Subsidiary to GSAM under the
Subsidiary Agreement during such period.
This letter modifies the terms of the Management Agreement and to the extent of any conflict
between the terms of this letter and the terms of such agreement, the terms of this letter will
prevail. This letter and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder will be governed by,
and interpreted, construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York
without regard to the choice of law or conflicts of law principles thereof that would result in the
application of the law of any other jurisdiction.
Please confirm your understanding of and agreement with the subject matter herein by returning an
originally executed copy of this letter to the address first written above.
Very truly yours, XXXXXXX XXXXX ASSET MANAGEMENT, L.P. |
