Re: | Emerging CTA Portfolio 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 Emerging
CTA Portfolio 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 dated August 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-mark 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
B-2
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,
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 am authorized, and the individual or individuals signing this Agreement are empowered to
enter into this Subscription Agreement and become a limited partner in the Partnership.
(d) 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 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 brokerage fee received by CGM that is
calculated based on the number of limited partners in the Partnership that are customers of MSSB.
Additionally, I hereby acknowledge and agree to the payment to the General Partner of an
administrative fee as described in the Memorandum.
(e) 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.
(f) I understand that the Partnership offering has not been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities 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 Securities 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 Securities Act. I understand that the Units
cannot be offered or sold unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities 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.
(g) I hereby 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:
B-3
(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) | have substantial experience in making similar investments; | ||
(v) | have sufficient knowledge to be able to evaluate the merits and risks of this investment; | ||
(vi) | have made this decision to invest in the Partnership based on my own independent evaluation; | ||
(vii) | (x) am an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act; and (y) am a qualified eligible person as defined in Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) Rule 4.7. See Exhibit I for the terms of these qualifications. |
(h) 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 10 days’
notice to such limited partner.
(i) 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.
(j) If I am a collective investment vehicle, I am in compliance with all applicable Federal
regulatory requirements including the registration rules of the CFTC.
(k) 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.
(l) I hereby represent and affirm that (i) I have a net worth, either alone or with my spouse,
exceeding ten (10) times my investment, or (ii) I have, either alone or with my
professional advisor, the capacity to protect my interests in connection with this transaction, or
(iii) I am able to bear the economic risk of this investment.
B-4
(m) I hereby represent that the information contained herein is complete and accurate as of
the date hereof and may be relied upon by the General Partner. I further represent that I will
notify the General Partner immediately of any adverse change in any such information which may
occur prior to the acceptance of my subscription and will promptly send the General Partner written
confirmation thereof.
(n) I understand that my subscription payment must be received by the Partnership on or before
the specified settlement date.
3. Acceptance of Partnership Agreement and Power of Attorney. I hereby apply to become a
limited partner as of the date upon which the sale of my Units becomes effective, and I hereby
agree to each and every term of the Partnership Agreement as if my signature were subscribed
thereto.
(a) I hereby constitute and appoint the General Partner of the Partnership, with full power of
substitution, as my 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 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 appropriate to reflect a change in any
provision of the Partnership Agreement or the exercise by any person of any right or rights
thereunder not requiring my specific consent, or requiring my consent if such consent has been
given, and any other change, interpretation or modification of the Partnership Agreement in
accordance with the terms thereof; (iv) such amendments, instruments and documents which the
General Partner deems appropriate under the laws of the State of New York or any other state or
jurisdiction to reflect any change, amendment or modification of the Partnership Agreement of any
kind referred to in subparagraph (iii) hereof; (v) filings with agencies of any federal, state or
local governmental unit or of any jurisdiction which the General Partner shall deem appropriate to
carry out the business of the Partnership; and (vi) all conveyances and other instruments which the
General Partner shall deem appropriate to effect the transfer of my Partnership interest pursuant
to the Partnership Agreement or of Partnership assets and to reflect the dissolution and
termination of the Partnership. The foregoing appointment (a) is a special power of attorney
coupled with an interest, is irrevocable and shall survive my subsequent death, incapacity or
disability and (b) 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.
(b) FOR INDIVIDUAL INVESTORS AND TRUSTEES EXECUTING THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT IN THE STATE
OF NEW YORK. I acknowledge that the above constitution and appointment of the General Partner of
the Partnership as my true and lawful attorney does not apply to individuals executing this
Subscription Agreement in the State of New York. Any such individual shall instead read and sign
the New York State Power of Attorney in Exhibit II to this Subscription Agreement and have his or
her signature thereto notarized.
B-5
4. Indemnification. I hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, the
Selling Agent, the General Partner and its affiliated persons from any and all damages, losses,
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which they may incur by reason of any
breach by me of the covenants, warranties and representations contained in this Subscription
Agreement.
5. Survival. All representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Subscription
Agreement and the indemnification contained in Section 0 shall survive (i) the acceptance of the
subscription, (ii) changes in the transactions, documents and instruments described in the
Memorandum that are not material, and (iii) the death or disability of the undersigned.
6. Miscellaneous. This subscription is not revocable by me and constitutes the entire
agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and may not be amended
orally. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and be governed by 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.
B-6
(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
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 IRA 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.

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

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
that continue until you resign or the Power of Attorney is
terminated or revoked. You must:
B-16
(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.
