Re: Abingdon Futures Fund 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 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 understand that Citigroup Global Markets Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York (“CGM”), and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney 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 and Disclosure Document of the Partnership dated August 1, 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 meaning 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 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 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. I further understand that MSSB will

B-2

be compensated by a payment of a portion of the flat rate brokerage fee received by CGM that is calculated based on the number of limited partners in the Partnership that are customers of MSSB.

(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 (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 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 that I 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, 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 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, MSSB 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, 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.

(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.

B-3

(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.

(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”).

(m) 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 stead: (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 (x) is a special power of attorney coupled with an interest, is irrevocable and shall survive my subsequent death, incapacity or disability and (y) 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 III to this Subscription Agreement and have his or her signature thereto notarized.

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 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.

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-6 hereof, the undersigned hereby represents and warrants whether or not the subscriber is a “Benefit Plan Investor” within the meaning of

B-4

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:

(a) Either (i) or (ii): (i) none of CGM, MSSB, the General Partner or 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, MSSB, 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 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.

(d) The undersigned Fiduciary acknowledges that it is: (i) independent of CGM, MSSB, 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 Keogh 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-6 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.

This Questionnaire is being given to each person who has been designated as a “purchaser representative” by an individual who has expressed an interest in purchasing Units in the Partnership. The purpose of this Questionnaire is to determine whether you are qualified to act as a purchaser representative (as that term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933) since the Units have not been and will not be registered under that Act and are being sold in reliance upon an exemption contained in the Act.

NEW YORK LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY
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 only after signing the Power of Attorney before a notary public.

You can request information from your agent at any time. If you are revoking a prior Power of Attorney by executing this Power of Attorney, you should provide written notice of the revocation to your prior agent(s) and to the financial institutions where your accounts are located.

You can revoke or terminate your Power of Attorney at any time for any reason as long as you are of sound mind. If you are no longer of sound mind, a court can remove an agent for acting improperly.

Your agent cannot make health care decisions for you. You may execute a “Health Care Proxy” to do this.

The law governing Powers of Attorney is contained in the New York General Obligations Law, Article 5, Title 15. This law is available at a law library, or online through the New York State Senate or Assembly websites, www.senate.state.ny.us or www.assembly.state.ny.us.

If there is anything about this document that you do not understand, you should ask a lawyer of your own choosing to explain it to you.

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:

(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;

B-19

(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.
