Re: Tidewater Futures Fund L.P.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
1. Subscription for Units. I hereby irrevocably subscribe for the amount of Units (and
partial Units rounded to four decimal places) of Limited Partnership Interest (“Units”) of
Tidewater Futures Fund L.P. (the “Partnership”) as indicated on page B-8 hereof. I understand that
each Unit will be offered at Net Asset Value per Unit on the date of sale. I understand that
Citigroup Global Markets Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York
(“CGM”), and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws
of the State of Delaware (“MSSB”), act as selling agents for the Partnership. I hereby authorize
CGM to debit my brokerage account in the amount of my subscription as described in the Private
Placement Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Document of the Partnership dated August 1, 2009, as
amended or supplemented from time to time (the “Memorandum”).
I understand that all capitalized terms used in this subscription agreement (this
“Subscription Agreement”) that are not separately defined herein shall have the respective meanings
set forth in the Memorandum.
I am aware that this subscription is not binding on the Partnership unless and until it is
accepted by Ceres Managed Futures LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the
State of Delaware and the Partnership’s general partner (the “General Partner”), which may reject
this subscription in whole or in part for any reason whatsoever. I understand that the General
Partner will advise me within five business days of receipt of my funds and this Subscription
Agreement if my subscription has been rejected. I further understand that if this subscription is
not accepted, the full amount of my subscription will be promptly returned to me without deduction.
2. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Subscriber. As an inducement to the General
Partner on behalf of the Partnership to sell me the Units for which I have subscribed I hereby
represent, warrant and agree as follows:
(a) I am over 21 years old, am legally competent to execute this Subscription Agreement and
have received and reviewed the Memorandum and the Partnership’s most recent monthly statement and
annual report, if any, and except as set forth in the Memorandum, no representations or warranties
have been made to me by the selling agent indicated by check-xxxx on the cover of this Subscription
Agreement (the “Selling Agent”), the Partnership, its General Partner or their agents, with respect
to the business of the Partnership, the financial condition of the Partnership, the deductibility
of any item for tax purposes or the economic, tax, or any other aspects or consequences of a
purchase of a Unit, and I have not relied upon any information concerning the offering, written or
oral, other than that contained in the Memorandum or provided by the General Partner (as the same
may have been relayed to me by the Selling Agent) at my request. In addition, I have been
represented by such legal and tax counsel and others selected by me as I have found it necessary to
consult concerning this transaction. I am in compliance with all federal and state regulatory
requirements applicable to this investment. With respect to the tax aspects of my investment, I am
relying upon the advice of my own personal tax advisors and upon my own knowledge with respect
thereto.
(b) I have carefully reviewed the various conflicts of interest set forth in the Memorandum,
B-2
including those arising from the fact that the General Partner is indirectly owned by CGM, a
selling agent and the commodity broker/dealer for the Partnership, and is an affiliate of MSSB, a
selling agent for the Partnership.
(c) I hereby acknowledge and agree to the terms of the Customer Agreement between the
Partnership and CGM and to the payment to CGM of the flat rate brokerage fee as described in the
Memorandum. I understand that lower brokerage fees might be available, but that the General
Partner will not negotiate with CGM or any other broker to obtain such lower rates. I further
understand that MSSB will be compensated by a payment of a portion of the flat rate brokerage fee
received by CGM that is calculated based on the number of limited partners in the Partnership that
are customers of MSSB.
(d) The Partnership has made available to me, prior to the date hereof, the opportunity to
ask questions of, and to receive answers from, the General Partner and its representatives,
concerning the terms and conditions of the offering, and has afforded me access to obtain any
information, documents, financial statements, records and books (i) relating to the Partnership,
its business, the offering and an investment in the Partnership, and (ii) necessary to verify the
accuracy of any information, documents, financial statements, records and books furnished in
connection with the offering. All materials and information requested by me, including any
information requested to verify any information furnished, have been made available and have been
examined to my satisfaction.
(e) I understand that the Partnership offering has not been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or pursuant to the provisions of the securities or other laws
of certain jurisdictions, in reliance on exemptions for private offerings contained in the Act and
in the laws of certain jurisdictions. I am fully aware of the restrictions on sale,
transferability and assignment of the Units as set forth in the Limited Partnership Agreement (the
“Partnership Agreement”) of the Partnership as amended from time to time, and that I must bear the
economic risk of my investment in the Partnership for an indefinite period of time because the
offering has not been registered under the Act. I understand that the Units cannot be offered or
sold unless they are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration
is available and that any transfer requires the consent of the General Partner, who may determine
not to permit any specific transfer.
(f) I represent that I am aware of the speculative nature of this investment and of the high
degree of risk involved, that I can bear the economic risks of this investment and that I can
afford a complete loss of my investment. As evidence of the foregoing, I hereby represent to you
that I: (i) have sufficient liquid assets to pay the purchase price for my interest in the
Partnership; (ii) have adequate means of providing for my current needs and possible personal
contingencies and have no present need for liquidity of my investment in the Partnership; (iii)
have adequate net worth and sufficient means to sustain a complete loss of my investment in the
Partnership; (iv) either (a) I am an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of the Act, the
terms of which are set forth in Exhibit I to this Subscription Agreement by virtue of the
subparagraph indicated on page B-8 or (b) I have a net worth (exclusive of home, furnishings and
automobiles) at least three times my investment in the Partnership or my actual gross income for
the last two calendar years was, and my projected gross income for the current calendar year will
be, not less than three times my investment in the Partnership for each year; (v) have substantial
experience in making similar investments; (vi) have, alone or with my purchaser representative,
sufficient knowledge to be able to evaluate the merits and risks of this investment; and (vii) have
made the decision to invest in the Partnership based on my own or my purchaser representative’s
independent evaluation.
(g) I will not transfer or assign this Subscription Agreement, or any of my interest herein.
I am acquiring my interest in the Partnership hereunder for my own account and for investment
purposes only and not with a view to or for the transfer, assignment, resale or distribution
thereof, in whole or in part. I have no present plans to enter into any such contract,
undertaking, agreement or arrangement. I understand that, by making an investment in the
Partnership, I will be a limited partner. I understand that the General Partner may in its
absolute discretion require any limited partner to redeem all or part of his Units, upon ten days’
notice to such limited partner.
B-3
(h) If I am not a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. tax purposes, I agree to
pay or reimburse CGM, MSSB or the Partnership for any taxes, including but not limited to
withholding tax imposed with respect to my Units.
(i) I understand that as part of the Partnership’s responsibility for the prevention of money
laundering, CGM, MSSB or the General Partner may require a detailed verification of identity and
the source of payment. In the event of delay or failure by me to produce any information required
for verification purposes, the General Partner may refuse to accept my application and subscription
funds relating thereto or may refuse to process a redemption request until proper information has
been provided.

4. Indemnification. I hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, the

Agreement and the indemnification contained in paragraph 4 shall survive (i) the acceptance of the

laws of the State of New York.
7. Employee-Benefit Plans. By so indicating on page B-8 hereof, the undersigned hereby
represents and warrants whether or not the subscriber is a “Benefit Plan Investor” within the
meaning of U.S. Department of Labor Regulation 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101, as amended by the Pension
Protection Act of 2006 (the “Plan Assets Regulation”). Generally, a “Benefit Plan Investor” is any
plan or fund organized by an employer or employee organization subject to Title I of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or any plans subject to Section 4975
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) to provide retirement, deferred compensation,
welfare or similar benefits to employees or beneficiaries, including an entity described in Section
(g) of the Plan Assets Regulation, in which 25% or more of any class of equity interests is owned
by such plans and that is primarily engaged in the business of investing capital. If the
undersigned is investing with the assets of, or on behalf of, an employee-benefit plan subject to
ERISA, or plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code (the “Plan”) (such undersigned, the “Fiduciary”)
then the Fiduciary further represents and agrees as follows with respect to the Plan:
(1) Either (a) or (b): (a) none of CGM, MSSB, the General Partner or any of their
employees, financial advisors or affiliates (i) manages any part of the investment portfolio of the
Plan, or (ii) has an agreement or understanding, written or unwritten, with the Fiduciary under
which the Fiduciary regularly receives information, recommendations or advice concerning
investments which are used as a primary basis for the Plan’s investment decisions and which
are individualized to the particular needs of the Plan.
or (b) The relationship between the Plan and CGM, MSSB, the General Partner or any of
their employees, financial advisors or affiliates comes within (i) or (ii) above with respect to
only a portion of the Plan’s assets and the investment in the Partnership is being made by
the Fiduciary from a portion of Plan assets with respect to which such relationship does not exist.
(2) Although an account executive or a financial advisor of CGM or MSSB may have suggested
that the Fiduciary consider the investment in the Partnership, the Fiduciary has studied the
Memorandum and has made the investment decision solely on the basis of the Memorandum and without
reliance on such suggestion.
(3) The Plan is in compliance with all applicable Federal regulatory requirements.
(4) The undersigned Fiduciary acknowledges that it is: independent of CGM, MSSB, the General
Partner and all of their affiliates; capable of making an independent decision regarding the
B-6
investment of Plan assets; knowledgeable with respect to the Plan in administrative matters
and funding matters related thereto, and able to make an informed decision concerning participation
in the Partnership.
(5) The undersigned Fiduciary, if the Plan is an XXX or Xxxxx account of which CGM or MSSB is
the custodian, hereby directs said custodian as custodian of the Plan to subscribe for the amount
indicated on page B-8 hereof. In addition, the Fiduciary represents and confirms that all of the
information contained in this Subscription Agreement and relating to the subscribing Plan is
complete and accurate.

TO THE DETERMINATION BY THE GENERAL PARTNER WHETHER OFFERS FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR UNITS OF LIMITED
PARTNERSHIP INTEREST MAY BE ACCEPTED FROM:
| (THE “INVESTOR”). | ||||
INSTRUCTIONS
This Questionnaire is being given to each person who has been designated as a “purchaser
representative” by an individual who has expressed an interest in purchasing Units in the
Partnership. The purpose of this Questionnaire is to determine whether you are qualified to act as
a purchaser representative (as that term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of
1933) since the Units have not been and will not be registered under that Act and are being sold in
reliance upon an exemption contained in the Act.
Please contact Ceres Managed Futures LLC, the General Partner of the Partnership, at 55 Xxxx
00xx
Xxxxxx - 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, telephone number (000)
000-0000, if you have any questions in answering this Questionnaire.
Your answers will, at all times, be kept strictly confidential. However, you agree that, should
the investor whom you are representing agree to purchase Units, the Partnership may present this
Questionnaire to such parties as it deems appropriate in order to insure itself that the offer and
sale of Units in the Partnership to such investor will not result in the loss of the exemption from
registration under the Act which is being relied upon by the Partnership in connection with the
sale of the Units.
Please complete this Questionnaire as thoroughly as possible and sign, date and return one copy to
the General Partner at the above address. Attach additional pages if necessary to fully answer any
question.
If the answer to any question is “None” or “Not applicable,” please so state.

them in the Subscription Agreement.

my agent and true and lawful attorney to execute, acknowledge, file and record in my name, place
and xxxxx: (i) the Partnership Agreement substantially in the form included as an Appendix to the
Memorandum; (ii) all certificates and other instruments which the General Partner of the
Partnership shall deem appropriate to create, qualify, continue or dissolve the Partnership as a
limited partnership in the jurisdictions in which the Partnership may be formed or conduct
business; (iii) all agreements amending or modifying the Partnership Agreement that may be

Partnership Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof; (iv) such amendments, instruments and

instruments which the General Partner shall deem appropriate to effect the

appointment (x) is a special power of attorney coupled with an interest, is irrevocable and shall
survive my subsequent death, incapacity or disability, (y) shall survive the delivery of an
assignment by me of the whole or any portion of my interest, except that where an assignee of the
whole of such interest has been approved by the General Partner for admission to the Partnership as
a substituted Limited Partner, the power of attorney shall survive the delivery of such assignment
for the sole purpose of enabling the General Partner to execute, acknowledge and file any
instrument necessary to effect such substitution and (z) is not intended to revoke or terminate any
prior powers of attorney. I hereby represent and warrant to the General Partner of the Partnership
and any future lawful substitution as agent thereby that, so long as I hold an interest in the
Partnership, I shall not enter into any subsequent power of attorney that has the effect of
revoking or terminating this power of attorney.
In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Power of Attorney and the
Partnership Agreement and/or the Subscription Agreement, the provisions of this Power of Attorney
shall control. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provision of this
Power of Attorney is invalid under applicable law, such provision will be ineffective only to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Power of
Attorney.

NEW YORK LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY
CAUTIONARY LEGENDS
CAUTIONARY LEGENDS
The following disclosure is required to be included verbatim in all powers of attorney subject
to Title 15 of Article 5 of the New York State General Obligations Law:
CAUTION TO THE PRINCIPAL: Your Power of Attorney is an important
document. As the “principal,” you give the person whom you choose
(your “agent”) authority to spend your money and sell or dispose of
your property during your lifetime without telling you. You do not
lose your authority to act even though you have given your agent
similar authority.
When your agent exercises this authority, he or she must act
according to any instructions you have provided or, where there are
no specific instructions, in your best interest. “Important
Information for the Agent” at the end of this document describes
your agent’s responsibilities. Your agent can act on your behalf
only after signing the Power of Attorney before a notary public.
You can request information from your agent at any time. If you are
revoking a prior Power of Attorney by executing this Power of
Attorney, you should provide written notice of the revocation to
your prior agent(s) and to the financial institutions where your
accounts are located.
You can revoke or terminate your Power of Attorney at any time for
any reason as long as you are of sound mind. If you are no longer
of sound mind, a court can remove an agent for acting improperly.
Your agent cannot make health care decisions for you. You may
execute a “Health Care Proxy” to do this.
The law governing Powers of Attorney is contained in the New York
General Obligations Law, Article 5, Title 15. This law is available
at a law library, or online through the New York State Senate or
Assembly websites, xxx.xxxxxx.xxxxx.xx.xx or
xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxxxx.xx.xx.
If there is anything about this document that you do not understand,
you should ask a lawyer of your own choosing to explain it to you.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE AGENT:
When you accept the authority granted under this Power of Attorney,
a special legal relationship is created between you and the
principal. This relationship imposes on you legal responsibilities
B-23
that continue until you resign or the Power of Attorney is
terminated or revoked. You must:
(1) act according to any instructions from the principal, or, where
there are no instructions, in the principal’s best interest;
(2) avoid conflicts that would impair your ability to act in the
principal’s best interest;
(3) keep the principal’s property separate and distinct from any
assets you own or control, unless otherwise permitted by law;
(4) keep a record of all receipts, payments, and transactions
conducted for the principal; and
(5) disclose your identity as an agent whenever you act for the
principal by writing or printing the principal’s name and signing
your own name as “agent” in either of the following manner:
(Principal’s Name) by (Your Signature) as Agent, or (your signature)
as Agent for (Principal’s Name).
You may not use the principal’s assets to benefit yourself or give
major gifts to yourself or anyone else unless the principal has
specifically granted you that authority in this Power of Attorney or
in a Statutory Major Gifts Rider attached to this Power of Attorney.
If you have that authority, you must act according to any
instructions of the principal or, where there are no such
instructions, in the principal’s best interest. You may resign by
giving written notice to the principal and to any co-agent,
successor agent, monitor if one has been named in this document, or
to the principal’s guardian if one has been appointed. If there is
anything about this document or your responsibilities that you do
not understand, you should seek legal advice.
Liability of agent:
The meaning of the authority given to you is defined in New York’s
General Obligations Law, Article 5, Title 15. If it is found that
you have violated the law or acted outside the authority granted to
you in the Power of Attorney, you may be liable under the law for
your violation.
