W I T N E S S E T H:
 
WHEREAS, the Partnership currently pays Krom Cayman a monthly fee for professional management services equal to 1/12 of 2% (2% per year) of the month-end Net Assets of the Partnership allocated to the Advisor; and
 
WHEREAS, effective as of October 1, 2013, the Parties wish to change the professional management services fee to 1/12 of 1% (1% per year); and
 
WHEREAS, the Parties wish to amend the Management Agreement to reflect this change.
 
NOW, therefore, the Parties agree as follows:
 
1. The text of Section 3(a) of the Management Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:
 
“In consideration of and as compensation for all of the services to be rendered by the Advisor to the Partnership under this Agreement, the Partnership shall pay Krom Cayman (i) an incentive fee payable quarterly equal to 20% of New Trading Profits (as such term is defined below) earned by the Advisor for the Partnership and (ii) a monthly fee for professional management services equal to 1/12 of 1% (1% per year) of the month-end Net Assets of the Partnership allocated to the Advisor (computed monthly by multiplying the adjusted net assets of the Partnership as of the last business day of each month by 1.0% and dividing the result thereof by 12).”
 
2. The foregoing amendment shall take effect as of the 1st day of October, 2013.
 
3. In all other respects the Management Agreement remains unchanged and of full force and effect.
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
4. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute the same agreement.
