As described in the Prospectus referred to below, the Trust will engage in this business under the direction of the Managing Owner. The Trust proposes to make a public offering of units of beneficial interest in the Trust (the "Units"). In connection with the proposed public offering, the Trust has filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), pursuant to the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), a registration statement on Form S-1 to register the Units, and as part thereof a prospectus (Registration No. 333-37548) (which registration statement, together with all amendments thereto, shall be referred to herein as the "Registration Statement" and which prospectus together with all amendments and supplements thereto in the forms filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act shall be referred to herein as the "Prospectus"). The Units are designed to be sold to investors who have "wrap fee" accounts with their selling agent. The Managing Owner and the Trust have entered into a selling agreement dated as of January 4, 2001 among Campbell Financial Services, Inc., the Managing Owner, the Trust and others (the "Selling Agreement"), a copy of which will be furnished to you upon request. Other selling agents, including those introduced by wholesalers ("Wholesalers") to the Trust and the Managing Owner (the "Additional Selling Agents"), may be selected by the Managing Owner. You have been so selected by the Managing Owner. We confirm our agreement with you as follows. Capitalized terms used but otherwise not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Selling Agreement unless the context indicates otherwise. 1. Appointment and Undertakings of the Additional Selling Agent (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Selling Agreement and the Registration Statement, the Additional Selling Agent is hereby appointed, and hereby accepts such appointment, as one of the Trust's non-exclusive selling agents to offer and sell the Units on a best-efforts basis without any commitment on the Additional Selling Agent's part to purchase any Units. Units are designed to be sold to investors who have "wrap fee" account with the Additional Selling Agent. It is understood and agreed that the Managing Owner may retain other selling agents (including those introduced by Wholesalers). The Additional Selling Agent agrees to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any terms and conditions of the Selling Agreement applicable to Additional Selling Agents. 2 (b) The Additional Selling Agent agrees to use its reasonable efforts to procure subscriptions for the Units as long as this Agreement and the Selling Agreement remain in effect and to make the offering of Units at the offering price and minimum amounts and on the other terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus and the Selling Agreement. (c) The Additional Selling Agent shall offer and sell Units only to persons and entities who satisfy the suitability and/or investment requirements set forth in the Prospectus and the subscription agreements attached thereto and who, to the Managing Owner's satisfaction, complete the subscription agreements and related subscription documents used in connection with the offering of the Units (the "Subscription Documents") and remit good funds for the full subscription price. The Additional Selling Agent shall conduct a thorough review of the suitability of each subscriber for Units that it solicits and of the Subscription Documents. The Additional Selling Agent shall not execute any transactions in Units in a discretionary account over which it has control without prior written approval of the customer in whose name such discretionary account is maintained. The Additional Selling Agent agrees not to recommend the purchase of Units to any subscriber unless the Additional Selling Agent shall have reasonable grounds to believe, on the basis of information obtained from the subscriber concerning, among other things, the subscriber's investment objectives, other investments, financial situation and needs, that the subscriber is or will be in a financial position appropriate to enable the subscriber to realize to a significant extent the benefits of the Trust, including the tax benefits (if any) described in the Prospectus; the subscriber has a fair market net worth sufficient to sustain the risks inherent in participating in the Trust, including loss of investment and lack of liquidity; and the Units are otherwise a suitable investment for the subscriber. In addition to submitting such information to the Managing Owner, the Additional Selling Agent agrees to maintain files of information disclosing the basis upon which the Additional Selling Agent determined that the suitability requirements of Rule 2810(b)(2) of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") were met as to each subscriber (the basis for determining suitability may include the Subscription Documents and other certificates submitted by subscribers). In connection with making the foregoing representations and warranties, the Additional Selling Agent further represents and warrants that it has received copies of the Registration Statement, as amended to the date hereof, and the Prospectus and has, among other things, examined the following sections in the Prospectus and obtained such additional information from the Managing Owner regarding the information set forth thereunder as the Additional Selling Agent has deemed necessary or appropriate to determine whether the Prospectus adequately and accurately discloses all material facts relating to an investment in the Trust and provides an adequate basis to subscribers for evaluating an investment in the Units: "Summary" "The Risks You Face" "Investment Factors" "Campbell & Company, Inc." "Conflicts of Interest" "Charges to the Trust" "Use of Proceeds" "Distributions and Redemptions" "Declaration of Trust & Trust Agreement" "Federal Income Tax Aspects" In connection with making the representations and warranties set forth in this paragraph, the Additional Selling Agent has not relied on inquiries made by or on behalf of any other parties. The Additional Selling Agent agrees to inform all prospective purchasers of Units of all pertinent facts relating to the liquidity and marketability of the Units as set forth in the Prospectus. The Additional Selling Agent shall offer and sell Units in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Registration Statement (particularly the "Subscription Requirements" attached as Exhibit B thereto), this Agreement and the Blue Sky Survey delivered to the Additional Selling Agent pursuant to Section 4(e) below. The Additional Selling Agent represents and warrants that it shall comply fully at all 2 3 times with all applicable federal and state securities and commodities laws (including without limitation the 1933 Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the "CEA"), and the securities and Blue Sky laws of the jurisdictions in which the Additional Selling Agent solicits subscriptions, all applicable rules and regulations under such laws, and all applicable requirements, rules, policy statements and interpretations of the NASD, and the securities and commodities exchanges and other governmental and self-regulatory authorities and organizations having jurisdiction over it or the offering of Units). The Additional Selling Agent shall under no circumstances engage in any activities hereunder in any jurisdiction (i) in which the Managing Owner has not informed the Additional Selling Agent that counsel's advice has been received that the Units are qualified for sale or are exempt under the applicable securities or Blue Sky laws thereof or (ii) in which the Additional Selling Agent may not lawfully engage. The Additional Selling Agent further agrees to comply with the requirement under applicable federal and state securities laws to deliver to each offeree a Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto (including summary financial information, if available, after the Trust has commenced operations). Neither the Additional Selling Agent nor any of its employees, agents or representatives will use or distribute any marketing material or information other than that prepared by the Trust and the Managing Owner. It is, however, understood that the Additional Selling Agent may use documents that it prepares solely for the purpose of communicating with its Registered Representatives provided that the Additional Selling Agent provides to the Managing Owner a copy of each such document prior to such use. Other than as set forth in the Prospectus, the Managing Owner disclaims any responsibility or obligation to notify any client of Additional Selling Agent that (i) the Managing Owner operates another publicly-offered commodity pool, which trades in the Financial, Metal & Energy Large Portfolio, with a higher overall cost structure, and (ii) Additional Selling Agent, if offering both the Trust and such other pool, may have a conflict of interest relating thereto. (d) The additional services that the Additional Selling Agent will provide on an ongoing basis to Unitholders will include but not be limited to: (i) inquiring of the Managing Owner from time to time, at the request of Unitholders, as to the Net Asset Value of a Unit, (ii) inquiring of the Managing Owner from time to time at the request of the Unitholders, as to the commodities markets and the activities of the Trust, (iii) assisting, at the request of the Managing Owner, in the redemption of Units sold by the Additional Selling Agent, (iv) responding to questions of Unitholders from time to time with respect to monthly account statements, annual reports and financial statements furnished to Unitholders, and (v) providing such other services to the owners of Units as the Managing Owner may, from time to time, reasonably request. All payments for subscriptions shall be made by transfer of funds to the escrow account of the Trust as described in the Prospectus, as may be amended from time to time upon notice of the Managing Owner, provided that any such arrangements must comply in all relevant respects with Rules 10b-9 and 15c2-4 under the 1934 Act. 2. Compensation (a) In consideration of the Additional Selling Agent administering the Units, the Managing Owner shall pay the Additional Selling Agent an ongoing fee for administrative, legal and client reporting services of 0.35% per annum of the net assets of the Trust, as defined in the Prospectus attributable to subscriptions from subscribers which are customers of the Additional Selling Agent. The Additional Selling Agent may pass along a portion of such fee to another selling agent which is appropriately registered with or a member of, as applicable, the National Futures Association (the "NFA"), the NASD, the SEC, the securities or Blue Sky administrators of the several states and various other jurisdictions and any other regulatory body. Provided that the Additional Selling Agent is registered with the CFTC as a futures commission merchant or introducing broker and is a member in good standing of the NFA in such capacity, the ongoing compensation described above will not be limited. The Additional Selling Agent may pay a portion of such compensation to its registered representatives who are registered associated persons with 3 4 the CFTC and have passed the National Commodity Futures Examination (Series 3) or the Futures Managed Fund Examination (Series 31). Selling agents and registered representatives who are not registered with the CFTC as described above may receive the ongoing fee outlined above, on the same basis as described above, provided that the total of such ongoing fee plus the per Unit organization and offering costs properly deemed to constitute costs allocable to the selling agents, such as a selling brochure, seminar costs and travel expenses, do not exceed 10% of such Units' initial sale price. The Additional Selling Agent shall not, directly or indirectly, pay or award any finder's fees, commissions or other compensation to any person engaged by a potential investor for investment advice as an inducement to such advisor to advise the purchase of Units; provided, however, the normal sales commissions payable to a registered broker-dealer or other properly licensed person for selling Units shall not be prohibited hereby. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Managing Owner shall have sole discretion to accept or reject any subscription for the Units in whole or in part. (c) The Managing Owner agrees to make all payments to the Additional Selling Agent pursuant to this Section 2 within 15 days following the end of a monthly period in which compensation is earned. 3.

(c) Each of the parties to this Agreement understands that the obligations of each party subject to this Section 6 are separate and distinct. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6, (i) the Managing Owner shall have no obligation to indemnify the Additional Selling Agent for more than the amount of proceeds resulting from the sale of Units by the Additional Selling Agent during the period from the commencement of the offering of the Units to the initial Closing Date and during the Continuing Offering Period plus the Additional Selling Agent's actual expenses incurred in connection with any loss, claim, damage, charge or liability (including reasonable attorneys' and accountants' fees incurred in defense thereof) and (ii) any obligation of the Managing Owner to indemnify the Additional Selling Agent shall be adjusted to reflect the relative responsibility of the Additional Selling Agent (if any) for the circumstances giving rise to the losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, liabilities or actions for which indemnification is sought. (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6, (i) the Additional Selling Agent shall have no obligation to indemnify the Managing Owner for more than the amount of proceeds resulting from the sale of Units by the Additional Selling Agent during the period from the commencement of the offering of the Units to the initial Closing Date and during the Continuing Offering Period plus the Managing Owner's actual expenses incurred in connection with any loss, claim, damage, charge or liability (including reasonable attorneys' and accountants' fees incurred in defense thereof) and (ii) any obligation of the Additional Selling Agent to indemnify the Managing Owner shall be adjusted to reflect the relative responsibility of the Managing Owner (if any) for the circumstances giving rise to the losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, liabilities or actions for which indemnification is sought.

(f) Any party which proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section 6 will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding but the omission to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 6 except to the extent, and only to the extent, that such omission was prejudicial to the indemnifying party. In no event shall any such omission relieve an indemnifying party of any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 6. In case any such action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party, and such party shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein, and, if it shall wish, individually or jointly with any other indemnifying party, to assume (or have such other party assume) the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election (or the election of such other party) so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation requested by the indemnifying party (or such other party), subsequently incurred by such indemnified 9 10 party in connection with the defense thereof. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ its counsel in any such action, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment by counsel by such indemnified party has been authorized by the indemnifying party (or such other indemnifying party as may have assumed the defense of the action in question), (ii) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the indemnifying party (or such other party) and the indemnified party in the conduct of the defense of such action (in which case the indemnifying party (or such other party) shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (iii) the indemnifying party shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party (subject to possible reimbursement of the indemnifying party by such other party). An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its consent.
