Re: Citigroup Abingdon Futures Fund L.P.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
1. Subscription for Units. I hereby irrevocably subscribe for the amount of Units (and during the Continuous Offering, partial Units rounded to four decimal places) of Limited Partnership Interest (‘‘Units’’) of Citigroup Abingdon Futures Fund L.P. (the ‘‘Partnership’’) as indicated on page B-6 hereof. I understand that each Unit will be offered at Net Asset Value per Unit on the date of sale. I hereby authorize Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (‘‘CGM’’) to debit my Xxxxx Xxxxxx account in the amount of my subscription as described in the Private Placement Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Document dated September 10, 2007, as amended or supplemented from time to time (the ‘‘Memorandum’’).
I am aware that this subscription is not binding on the Partnership unless and until it is accepted by 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 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, if this purchase is made during the Continuous Offering, 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 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 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, including those arising from the fact that the General Partner is an affiliate of CGM, the selling agent and commodity broker/dealer 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.
(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, 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 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-6 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 this 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 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.
(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 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 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.
(j) FOR ALL ACCREDITED INVESTORS. I hereby represent and affirm that (i) I have a net worth alone or with my spouse exceeding 10 times my investment; (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 the investment.
(k) I 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.
3
(l) If I am a collective investment vehicle, I am in compliance with all applicable Federal regulatory requirements including the registration rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (‘‘CFTC’’).
3. Acceptance of Limited 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 Limited Partnership Agreement as if my signature were subscribed thereto. 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: (a) a Limited Partnership Agreement (the ‘‘Partnership Agreement’’) of the Partnership substantially in the form included as an Appendix to the Memorandum; (b) 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; (c) 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; (d) 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 (c) hereof; (e) 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 (f) 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.

4. Indemnification. I hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, 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 paragraph 4 shall survive (a) the acceptance of the subscription; (b) changes in the transactions, documents and instruments described in the Memorandum that are not material; and (c) the death or disability of the undersigned.

By so indicating on page B-6 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 CFR 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

(a) Either (i) or (ii): (i) neither CGM, the General Partner nor any of their employees, financial advisors or affiliates (A) manages any part of the investment portfolio of the Plan, or (B) 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 (ii) The relationship between the Plan and CGM, the General Partner or any of their employees, financial advisors or affiliates comes within (A) or (B) 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.
(b) Although a CGM account executive or a financial advisor 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.
(c) The Plan is in compliance with all applicable Federal regulatory requirements.
(d) The undersigned Fiduciary acknowledges that it is: (i) independent of CGM, the General Partner and all of their affiliates; (ii) capable of making an independent decision regarding the investment of Plan assets; (iii) knowledgeable with respect to the Plan in administrative matters and funding matters related thereto, and (iv) able to make an informed decision concerning participation in the Partnership.
(e) The undersigned Fiduciary, if the Plan is an IRA or Xxxxx account of which CGM is the custodian, hereby directs said custodian as custodian of the Plan to subscribe for the amount indicated on page B-6 hereof.
