THIS AGREEMENT FOR INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES IS MADE AND ENTERED INTO THIS 19 day of November, 2010, by and between GLOBAL ADVISORS (JERSEY) LIMITED a limited company incorporated in Jersey, Channel Islands and whose place of business is at Spectrum, Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xx Xxxxxx XX0 0XX, a commodity trading advisor and investment manager, hereinafter referred to as “GAJL”, and ADF Trading Company VI, LLC hereinafter referred to as the “Client”.
GAJL is registered as a commodity trading advisor, operating pursuant to a Claim of Exemption filed with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) pursuant to Rule 4.7, is a member of the National Futures Association ("NFA") and is authorised and regulated by the Jersey Financial Services Commission (“JFSC”) to conduct its investment business.
All references to dollars or “$” are to United States dollars.
IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED:
1. Account.
(a) GAJL shall manage an account (the “Account”) on behalf of the Client. The Account shall be traded across the systematic commodity strategies offered by GAJL, as described in GAJL’s Disclosure Document dated Nov. 10, 2010 (the “Disclosure Document”'). Subject to the terms hereof, the proportion of assets in the Account allocated to each strategy and the amount of dollar risk allocated to each strategy and to each trade shall be determined solely by GAJL. GAJL will cause commodity interest contracts, including futures contracts, forward contracts, options on futures contracts, forward contracts, spot contracts and swap contracts in respect of commodities (collectively, “Contracts”) to be bought, sold, sold short and spread.
(b) The Client and GAJL agree that the “Nominal Account Size” of the Client’s account shall initially be deemed to be $***. The Nominal Account Size shall be determined from time-to-time by multiplying the “Agreed Maximum Exposure” by the leverage factor agreed between the Client and GAJL. The initial “Agreed Maximum Exposure” is the sum of (i) the cash or securities (“Funds”) initially deposited by the Client with the Client's futures commission merchant (the “FCM”), which FCM shall be acceptable to GAJL, plus (ii) the aggregate additional amount that the Client has initially agreed to deposit with the FCM to meet all initial and variation margin requirements that may be owing with respect to open positions in the Account and any losses that may be incurred upon liquidation of such positions. The Client and GAJL may agree to increase or decrease the Nominal Account Size as of the beginning of any calendar month or at any other time by adjusting either or both the Agreed Maximum Exposure and the leverage factor. The Client may withdraw Funds on deposit with the FCM at any time upon two (2) days prior written notice to GAJL, provided the Funds remaining in the Account are no less than the greater of (i) the Funds initially deposited with the FCM, as stated in Appendix A hereto, and (ii) the amount required by the FCM to margin the Client's open positions, and provided that the Agreed Maximum Exposure is not reduced as a result of such withdrawal unless agreed to in advance by GAJL.

(c) The Client shall deposit with Newedge USA, LLC, the FCM, sufficient Funds, as determined by the FCM, to cover the required initial and variation margin for the open positions in the Account each business day. The Client's Account shall be charged for all fees, commissions and/or other expenses arising from transactions effected for the Account.
2. Power of Attorney.
(a) The Client agrees to execute and file with the FCM a limited power of attorney (substantially in the form attached as Appendix B (or such other form as may be required by the FCM and agreed by GAJL)) granting GAJL sole authority to trade the assets allocated to the Client's Account. GAJL will have the authority to issue all necessary instructions to the FCM with respect to the Account; provided, that GAJL shall not have the authority to make payments from the Account. Should the Client decide at a future date to move the Client's account to a futures commission merchant other than that indicated in Section 1 hereof (which futures commission merchant must be mutually acceptable to both the Client and GAJL), then the Client will be required to provide written notice to GAJL, to this effect, a minimum of 30 business days in advance of the transfer date.
(b) The Client hereby makes, constitutes and appoints GAJL as the Client's attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to (i) appoint any person to whom GAJL delegates any of its functions pursuant to Subsection (c) below, including the execution of any document or agreement necessary in connection therewith, (ii) negotiate and execute one or more give-up agreements with executing or floor brokers not employed by or affiliated with the FCM, by which the Client hereby agrees to be bound, and (iii) enter into any other arrangements on the Client's behalf that are necessary or convenient, in the judgment of GAJL, in effecting and processing give-up orders. Accordingly, GAJL shall have the right to direct all trades to any futures commission merchant or floor broker it chooses for execution with instructions to "give-up" to the Client's FCM for clearing, and the Client hereby ratifies and confirms any and all trades effected for Client by GAJL.
(c) The Client acknowledges and agrees that all transactions in respect of the Account shall be solely for the Client's account and risk, that all settlement functions shall be undertaken directly between the parties to such transaction, and that none of the Clients' Contracts or any documents of or evidencing title to Contracts belonging to the portfolio will be held by GAJL. GAJL shall not be responsible for the execution of orders by the brokers to the Account or for accounting to the Client for any income, profits or rights earned or accrued in relation to the Account. and GAJL accepts no liability for any act. omission or default in connection therewith.
(d) Subject to the JFSC and CFTC Rules, GAJL may aggregate transactions in Contracts for the Client with those of other customers. The Client acknowledges that aggregation may on some occasions operate to the advantage of the Client and on other occasions to the disadvantage of the Client, and the Client hereby consents to such aggregation by GAJL.

3. Management and Incentive Fees.
(a) The Client shall pay GAJL a monthly Management Fee equal to a percentage of the Net Asset Value of the Account. as described in the Initial Investment and Client Fee Election Form attached as Appendix A. The term "Net Asset Value" of the Account shall mean the value as of any date of the assets deemed to be under management as agreed to by the Client and GAJL (including, but not limited to, all cash and cash equivalents, valued at cost, accrued interest. capital committed by the Client but not actually deposited in the Account. any "notional" funds, and the market value of all open Contracts), less total liabilities of the Account (including the accrued portion of any fees), excluding accrued Management and Incentive Fees. The current market value of all open Contracts shall be as indicated by the settlement price determined by the exchanges or clearinghouses with which such positions are maintained. If there are no trades on the date of the calculation due to the operation of the daily price fluctuation limits, the closing of the exchange on which positions are maintained, or otherwise, the Contract will be valued at the settlement price as determined by the exchange. The Management Fee paid to GAJL for any month will be pro-rated for any additions to or withdrawals from the Account during the month and for any months during which GAJL did not manage the account for a full month.
(b) The Client shall pay GAJL the Incentive Fee equal to a percentage of the "New Trading Profits" of the Account for each Incentive Fee period as specified in the Initial Investment and Client Fee Election Form. The term "New Trading Profits" means the excess (if any) of(i) Cumulative Net Profits as of the end of the applicable Incentive Fee period over (ii) the highest past value of Cumulative Net Profits since inception of the Account. "Cumulative Net Profits", which are calculated at the end of each Incentive Fee period, means cumulative net realized and unrealized trading profits, after deduction of brokerage commissions paid and accrued, floor brokerage fees, "give-up" or transfer fees (subject to a maximum of $*** per round-tum for such brokerage related commissions and fees, unless otherwise agreed in writing by GAJL) and any other fees (including the Management Fee), costs, and expenses directly related to the Account and the trading activities in the Account, but exclusive of any Incentive Fees previously paid and any interest earned. Any trading losses being carried forward from prior periods must be recouped and New Trading Profits achieved before further Incentive Fees are payable. To the extent that the Client reduces the Nominal Account Size (for example through redemptions, distributions or allocations caused by the Client), any trading losses being carried forward from prior periods shall be reduced in the same proportion that the value of the reduction in the Nominal Account Size bears to the value of the Nominal Account Size prior to such reduction. If GAJL's authority to trade the Account on behalf of the Client is terminated, by either party, as of any date which is not the end of an Incentive Fee period, the Incentive Fee described above, if applicable, will be determined as if such date of termination were at the end of an Incentive Fee period. If any payment of an Incentive Fee is made to GAJL on account of New Trading Profits and the Client's Account thereafter fails to earn New Trading Profits or experiences losses for any subsequent Incentive Fee period, GAJL will be entitled to retain such amounts of Incentive Fees previously paid to it in respect of such profits.

The Client agrees to authorize the FCM to make payments from the Client's Account to GAJL in compensation for services as set forth in this Agreement. Upon request, GAJL shall furnish the Client with a copy of its invoice for services presented to the FCM. The Client agrees that Management Fees and Incentive Fees are due and payable within twenty (20) business days of the date of an invoice and shall ensure that sufficient monies are in the Client's Account at the FCM to cover all such payments on the date that they become payable.
