FUTURES ACCOUNT AGREEMENT
U.S.
JWH Global Trust
-------------------------- -------------------------
Customer Name Customer Account Number
In consideration of the agreement of Cargill Investor Services, Inc. ("CIS") to
act as broker for the Customer in the purchase or sale of futures (which term
shall include contracts relating to immediate or future delivery of commodities,
financial futures, and options) Customer agrees, in respect to all futures
accounts which the Customer now has or may at any future time have with CIS, or
its successors, including accounts from time to time closed and then reopened,
as follows:
1. AUTHORIZATION. Orders for the purchase or sale of futures shall be
received and executed with the express intent that actual delivery is
contemplated. All transactions shall be subject to the constitution,
by-laws, rules, regulations, customs and usages of the exchange or market
where executed (and of its clearing house if any) and to any applicable
law, rule and regulation, including but not limited to, the provisions of
the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and the rules and regulations
thereunder. CIS shall have no liability to the Customer as a result of any
action taken by CIS to comply with the foregoing. The foregoing provision
is intended solely for the protection and benefit of CIS and any failure
by CIS to comply with exchange rules, regulations, customs and usages
shall not relieve the Customer of any obligations under this agreement
nor be construed to create rights hereunder in favor of the Customer.
CIS reserves the right to refuse to accept any order.
2. BROKER'S LIEN. To secure any indebtedness or other obligation owed by the
Customer to CIS, CIS is hereby granted a lien on all of the Customer's
property at any time held by CIS.
3. TRANSFER OF FUNDS. CIS may without notice transfer any money or other
property interchangeably between any accounts of the Customer. In the
event that at any time the Customer has an account in futures or options
which comes under the regulation of the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission ("CFTC") and also an account in non-CFTC-regulated futures or
options, the Customer hereby authorizes CIS, without prior notice to the
Customer to transfer from the Customer's regulated Futures Account to its
non-regulated account such amount of excess funds as in CIS' judgment may
be reasonably required to avoid the calling of margins for such other
account.
4. MARGINS. The Customer recognizes that margin deposits are due and must be
paid immediately upon entering into positions on futures exchanges and from
time to time as market conditions dictate and agrees to make such deposits
immediately on demand. CIS shall have the right to set and revise margin
requirements. Customer acknowledges CIS' right to limit, without notice to
Customer, the number of open positions which Customer may maintain or
acquire through CIS.
5. CUSTOMER OBLIGATIONS. The Customer agrees to pay promptly on demand any
and all sums due to CIS for monies advanced, with interest thereon at 1%
over the prime rate. The Customer agrees to pay when due, CIS' charges for
commissions at rates established between CIS and the Customer.
6. LIQUIDATION OF POSITIONS. CIS shall have the right, whenever in its
discretion it considers it necessary for its protection, in the event the
Customer fails to timely discharge its obligations to CIS, or in the event
that a petition in bankruptcy or for the appointment of a receiver is filed
by or against the Customer, or in the event of death of the Customer, or
in the event the Customer is adjudged incompetent, to sell any or all
futures, or other property in any account of the Customer and to buy any
or all futures which may be short in any account of the Customer, and to
close out and liquidate any and all outstanding contracts of the Customer,
and any such sales or purchases may be made at CIS' discretion on any
exchange or other market where such business is then usually transacted;
it being understood that a prior demand, or call, or prior notice of the
time and place of such sale or purchase, if any be given, shall not be
considered a waiver of CIS' right to sell or to buy without demand
or notice as herein provided. The Customer shall at all times be liable
to CIS for the payment of any debit balance owing in the accounts of the
Customer with CIS, and shall be liable for any deficiency remaining in any
such account in the event of the liquidation thereof in whole or in part,
and shall be liable for any reasonable costs of collection including
attorneys' fees.
7. NOTICES. Any notices and other communications may be transmitted to the
Customer at the address, or telephone number given herein, or at such other
address or telephone number as the Customer hereafter shall notify CIS in
writing. All notices or communications shall be deemed transmitted when
telephoned or deposited in the mail, sent via facsimile or computer by CIS.
Confirmations, purchase and sale statements and account statements shall be
deemed accurate unless written objection is delivered within 10 business
days from the date of such notice to CIS, Sears Tower, Suite 2300,
000 X. Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Facsimile No. (000) 000-0000,
Attention: Compliance Officer.
8. COMMUNICATION DELAYS. CIS will not be responsible for delays or failure in
the transmission of orders caused by a breakdown of communication
facilities or by any other cause beyond CIS' reasonable control.
9. GOVERNING LAW. This agreement is made under and shall be governed by the
laws of the State of Illinois in all respects, including construction and
performance.
10. ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The Customer acknowledges that CIS is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx and that the market recommendations
of CIS may or may not be consistent with the market position or intentions
of Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, its subsidiaries and affiliates. The market
recommendations of CIS are based upon information believed to be reliable,
but CIS cannot and does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness thereof
or represent that following such recommendations will eliminate or reduce
the risks inherent in trading futures.
11. NOTIFICATION OF RECORDING. CIS is hereby granted permission to record
telephone conversations between its employees and the Customer.
12. INDEPENDENT AGENTS. If Customer's account is carried by CIS only as the
clearing broker, Customer acknowledges that CIS has no responsibility for
the actions of the introducing broker or executing broker. Customer
agrees to indemnify and hold CIS harmless, for any actions or omissions
of such introducing broker or executing broker.
13. LIMITATION OF ACTIONS. Any action against CIS must be instituted within
two years of the action/or inaction giving rise to the alleged claim.
14. BINDING EFFECT. This agreement shall be irrevocable as long as the
Customer shall have any account with CIS; it shall be binding upon the
Customer and upon the Customer's administrators, and assigns; it can be
amended only in writing duly signed by the Customer and an officer of CIS.
15. CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIONS. Customer represents and warrants that Customer
is under no legal disability which would prevent it from trading in
commodities, futures and options contracts or entering into this Agreement
and that all of the information contained in the New Account Customer Fact
Sheet is true, complete, and correct as of the date hereof. Customer will
promptly notify CIS in writing of any changes in such information or any
change in circumstances which would affect the representations and
information given CIS or which would in any way affect Customer's ability
to make any transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Customer
represents that he or she is 18 years of age or over and that he or she is
not an employee of any exchange nor of any corporation of which any
exchange owns a majority of the capital stock. The Customer further
represents that he or she is not an employee or a member of any
exchange nor of a firm registered on any exchange or if he or she is so
employed that a written consent of his or her employer is attached
herewith.
16. EXPIRATION PROCEDURES. At least two business days prior to the first
notice day in the case of long positions in futures or forward contracts,
and at least two business days prior to the last trading day in the case of
short positions in futures or forward contracts or long and short positions
in options, Customer agrees to either give CIS instructions to liquidate or
make or take delivery under such futures or forward contracts, or to
liquidate, exercise or allow the expirations of such options. Customer
will deliver to CIS sufficient funds and/or documents required in
connection with exercise or delivery. If such instructions or such funds
and/or documents, with regard to option transactions, are not received by
CIS prior to the expiration of the option, CIS may allow such option to
expire.

CUSTOMER AGREEMENT SUPPLEMENT
THIS CUSTOMER AGREEMENT SUPPLEMENT, made as of the ____ day of _____,
1997 by and between JWH Global Trust (the "Trust") and Cargill Investor
Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Broker").
W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, the Trust has been organized to engage in the speculative
trading of all commodity interests, including futures contracts, options on
futures contracts or on physical commodities, and spot and forward contracts in
currencies and precious metals ("Commodity Interests");
WHEREAS, the Trust will deposit substantially all of its assets in an
account in the name of the Trust carried by the Broker;
WHEREAS, the Trust will maintain one or more customer segregated
accounts carried in the name of the Trust by the Broker pursuant to Section 4d
of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and applicable rules of the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"), including but not limited to CFTC Rules
1.20 - 1.30 (the "Company Accounts");
WHEREAS, the Trust will trade spot and forward contracts in currencies
and precious metals with CIS Financial Services, Inc. ("CISFS") as counterparty
and pursuant to agreements with CISFS has established one or more accounts with
CISFS (the "CISFS Accounts");
WHEREAS, the Trust and the Broker have entered into a Futures Account
Agreement -- U.S. (which, together with this Customer Agreement Supplement shall
be referred to as the "Customer Agreement") setting forth certain terms and
conditions upon which the Broker shall provide brokerage and related services to
the Trust; and
WHEREAS, the Trust and the Broker wish to enter into this Customer
Agreement Supplement which sets forth certain additional terms and conditions
upon which the Broker will serve as the broker for the trading of Commodity
Interests on behalf of the Trust for the term of the Customer Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
1. TRANSFERS TO AND FROM CISFS ACCOUNTS. The Broker shall from time
to time transmit Trust assets to CISFS Accounts as required by CISFS to margin
positions in the CISFS Accounts. The Broker shall withdraw Trust assets from
the CISFS Accounts to the
extent not necessary for margin therein whenever such excess exceeds U.S.
$10,000.
2. COMPENSATION TO THE BROKER. The Trust shall pay on the __
business day of each month to Broker a monthly Brokerage Fee equal to 0.542% of
the Trust's assets as of the end of the previous month (the "Primary Brokerage
Fee Rate"); provided that, with respect to the month-end assets of the Trust
attributable to Units held by any Unitholder holding as of such month-end Units
originally issued in an aggregate Net Asset Value in excess of $5,000,000, the
Broker shall be paid a Brokerage Fee at a rate equal to 0.375% of the Trust's
month-end assets attributable to such Units (the "Special Brokerage Fee Rate")
provided the Units have been held by such Unitholder for at least a full
calendar month or, if less, since the Trust commences operations.
3. INTEREST ON TRUST ASSETS. For purposes of this Section, the
term Trust Assets shall mean the total equity, from time to time, held in all
of the one or more accounts of the Trust carried by the Broker consisting of
all cash and cash equivalents, valued at cost (including any amounts
deposited as original margin) plus or minus the net profit or loss accruing
on open commodity interest positions. On the 5th business day of each month,
the Broker shall credit the Trust with interest income, with respect to asset
denominated in dollars, on 100% of the Trust's average daily Trust Assets on
deposit with the Broker during the previous month at a rate equal to the
average yield on 90-day U.S. Treasury bills auctioned during such previous
month and, with respect to Trust Assets denominated in currencies other than
dollars, on the average daily assets at the applicable rates as set forth in
the Prospectus. In computing Trust Assets for purposes of computing interest
income, Trust Assets shall exclude monies due the Trust with respect to
unrealized gain on forward contracts. Trust Assets shall also exclude
accrued but unpaid interest income and interest income, therefore, is not
compounded within each month. The Trust may deposit a portion of its assets
in an account in the name of the Trust at a bank ("Custodian") and engage a
cash manager to provide cash management services with respect to such assets.
Broker hereby agrees that on the 5th business day of each month it shall
credit the Trust's account the amount, if any, by which returns (net of fees
of the cash manager) on Trust assets held by a Custodian during the previous
month are less than the return that would have been realized by the Trust had
such assets been deposited with Broker and CISFS.
The Trust will not receive any other interest income on its assets
held by the Broker.
4. TERM. The Customer Agreement shall have an initial term ending
on the last day of the 12th full calendar month following the commencement of
trading by the Trust unless terminated earlier by the Trust upon 60 days' prior
written notice.
5. INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE. The Futures Account Agreement - U.S.
annexed hereto is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof
to the same extent as if such document were set forth in full herein. If any
provision of this Customer Agreement Supplement is or at any time becomes
inconsistent with the annexed document, the terms of this Customer Agreement
Supplement shall control.
6. ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The Broker acknowledges that the obligations of
this Agreement are not binding against the
2
Unitholders individually but are binding only upon the assets and property of
the Trust, and that, in the event of any obligation or claim arising hereunder
against the Trust, no resort shall be had to any Unitholder's personal property
for the satisfaction of such obligation or claim.
7. COMPLETE AGREEMENT. The Customer Agreement constitutes the
entire agreement between the parties with respect to the matters referred to
herein, and no other agreement, oral or otherwise, shall be binding as between
the parties unless in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement
is sought.
8. ASSIGNMENT. This Customer Agreement may not be assigned by a
party without the express written consent of the other party.
9. AMENDMENT. This Customer Agreement may not be amended except by
the written consent of the parties hereto.
10. SURVIVAL. The provisions of this Customer Agreement shall
survive the termination of this Customer Agreement with respect to any matter
arising while this Customer Agreement is in effect.
11. HEADINGS. Headings of sections herein are for the convenience of
the parties only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or
interpretation of this Customer Agreement.
12. NO WAIVER. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto
in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or
remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or remedy. Any waiver granted hereunder must be in writing
and shall be valid only in the specific instance in which given.

Agreement Supplement as of the day and year first above written.
