WHOLESALING AGREEMENT

                                , 2003

[ADDRESS]

Dear Sirs:

        Millburn Ridgefield Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Managing Owner"), has caused the formation of a business trust pursuant to the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (the "Delaware Act") under the name, Global Macro Trust (the "Trust"), for the purpose of engaging in speculative trading of futures and forward contracts, options on futures and forward contracts and other commodity interests, implementing the systematic trading methods of the Managing Owner. The Trust is engaged in a public offering of units of beneficial interest in the Trust (the "Units") through UBS Financial Services Inc. (the "Selling Agent"), on a best-efforts basis pursuant to the Selling Agreement dated as of April 1, 2002 among the Managing Owner, the Selling Agent, and the Trust (the "Selling Agreement"), a copy of which has been furnished to you. In connection with the 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 (Reg. No. 333-            ) which became effective on                        , and as part thereof a prospectus (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"). Other selling agents, including those introduced by                         ("Wholesaler") to us (the "Additional Selling Agents" and together with the Selling Agent, the "Selling Agents"), may be selected by the Managing Owner with the consent of the Selling Agent. We confirm our agreement with you as follows.

1.     Appointment And Undertakings Of The Wholesaler

        (a)   Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Wholesaler is hereby appointed, and hereby accepts such appointment, as one of the Trust's wholesalers to identify and introduce to us one or more Additional Selling Agents.

        (b)   The Wholesaler agrees to use diligent efforts to identify and introduce to us one or more Additional Selling Agents, each of which shall agree 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 pursuant to an Additional Selling Agent Agreement and, so long as this Agreement and the relevant Additional Selling Agent Agreements remain in effect, to use diligent efforts to assist the Additional Selling Agents with the performance of their obligations as provided herein.

        (c)   The Wholesaler covenants and agrees to wholesale Units through registered broker-dealers which are member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") and which have signed Additional Selling Agent Agreements. The Wholesaler's wholesaling activities will consist primarily of introducing Additional Selling Agents to the Trust, providing information concerning the Trust to such Additional Selling Agents and assisting such Additional Selling Agents in providing additional services on an ongoing basis to Unitholders.

        (d)   The Wholesaler shall comply fully with all applicable laws, and the rules and interpretations of the NASD, the SEC, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"), state securities administrators and any other regulatory body. The Wholesaler shall under no circumstances engage in any activities hereunder in any jurisdiction (i) in which the Managing Owner has not informed the Wholesaler 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 Wholesaler may not lawfully engage.

        (e)   The Wholesaler has received a copy of the Prospectus and a copy of the Registration Statement as amended to the date hereof.

        (f)    The Wholesaler further acknowledges, and agrees to assist each Additional Selling Agent introduced by it (references hereafter in this Agreement, except Sections 7 and 9, to Additional Selling Agent(s) shall mean only those Additional Selling Agent(s) introduced to us by the Wholesaler) with the provision of additional services, on an ongoing basis, to Unitholders, including, but not be limited to: (i) inquiring of the Managing Owner from time to time, at the request of Additional Selling Agents or 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 Additional Selling Agents or Unitholders, regarding the commodities markets and the Trust, (iii) assisting, at the request of the Managing Owner, in the redemption of Units sold by the Additional Selling Agents, and (iv) providing such other services to the Additional Selling Agents or owners of Units as the Managing Owner may, from time to time, reasonably request.

        (g)   The Wholesaler (i) acknowledges that, other than as set forth herein, it is not authorized to act as agent of the Managing Owner or the Trust in any connection or transaction and (ii) agrees not to so act or to purport to so act.

2.     Compensation

        (a)   In consideration for the Wholesaler performing the obligations under this Agreement, the Managing Owner shall pay the Wholesaler, from the Managing Owner's own funds, a selling commission of    % of the subscription value of the Unit(s) sold by each Additional Selling Agent (it being understood that the Managing Owner shall pay each Additional Selling Agent's share of selling commission, ongoing compensation or installment selling commissions directly to such Additional Selling Agent in accordance with the applicable Additional Selling Agent Agreement); provided, however, that in respect of subscriptions which (with respect to a single investor, in the aggregate) equal or exceed $500,000, such selling commission shall be    of the subscription value of the Units sold by each Additional Selling Agent. Such commissions will be paid in respect of each subscription as promptly as practicable after each month-end closing.

        (b)   The Wholesaler shall receive ongoing compensation, payable monthly by the Managing Owner, of    of 1% (a    % annual rate) of the month-end Net Asset Value of the Units sold by a Registered Representative of an Additional Selling Agent which remain outstanding for more than twelve months (including the month as of the end of which such Unit is redeemed) assuming (i) the continued registration of the Wholesaler with the CFTC as a futures commission merchant or introducing broker and continued membership with the National Futures Association ("NFA") in such capacity and (ii) the Wholesaler's compliance with the additional requirements described in Subsection 1 (d), registration of Wholesaler's registered representatives with the CFTC and compliance with applicable proficiency requirements by either passing the Series 3 National Commodity Futures Exam or the Series 31 exam and provision of the additional services described in Subsection 1(f); provided, however, that with respect to subscriptions which (in respect of a single investor, in the aggregate) equal or exceed $500,000, the ongoing compensation with respect to such Units shall be equal to a    % annual rate. Such ongoing compensation shall begin to accrue with respect to each Unit only after the end of the twelfth full month after the sale of such Unit. Such ongoing compensation will be paid by the Managing Owner from its own funds. For purposes of determining when ongoing compensation should begin to accrue, Units shall not be deemed to be sold until the day Units are issued, and in either case not the day when subscriptions are accepted by the Managing Owner or subscriptions funds are received by the Trust.

2

        (c)   With respect to Units sold to participants in an Additional Selling Agent's "wrap account" program and which participate in such program, the Wholesaler shall not receive a selling commission but shall receive ongoing compensation, payable monthly by the Managing Owner, of    of 1% of the month-end Net Asset Value of such Units (a     % annual rate); provided that the Wholesaler meets the eligibility requirements to receive ongoing compensation set forth in items (i) and (ii) of Subsection 2(b) above (it being understood that the Managing Owner shall pay the Additional Selling Agent's administrative fee directly to such Additional Selling Agent). Such ongoing compensation shall begin to accrue as of the first calendar month-end following the sale of a Unit.

        (d)   The Managing Owner may, in its sole discretion, reimburse the Wholesaler for certain expenses reasonably incurred by the Wholesaler in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder. Any such expense reimbursement, when aggregated with the selling commissions, installment selling commissions, administrative fees paid to non-CFTC qualified Additional Selling Agents that have sold Units to participants in such Additional Selling Agents' "wrap account" programs, and any other expense reimbursements to Additional Selling Agents paid in respect of the sale of Units by Additional Selling Agents, shall not exceed 9.5% of the subscription price of such Units.

        Furthermore, the Managing Owner shall not compensate the Wholesaler unless the Wholesaler is legally qualified and permitted to receive such compensation.

        If the Wholesaler (or its registered representatives) is not qualified to receive ongoing compensation as set forth above or does not provide the additional services described above in Subsection 1(f), the Managing Owner will pay the Wholesaler installment selling commissions at the same rate as in the case of ongoing compensation, but the sum of such installment selling commissions, the initial selling commission paid to the Wholesaler and each Additional Selling Agent, installment selling commissions paid to Additional Selling Agents, and administrative fees paid to each non-CFTC qualified Additional Selling Agent in respect of sales of Units to participants in such Additional Selling Agent's "wrap account" program, which Units participate in such program, is limited in amount, pursuant to applicable NASD policy, to 9.5% of the initial subscription price of the Units sold by each Additional Selling Agent.

        (e)   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.

        (f)    The Managing Owner agrees to make all payments to the Wholesaler pursuant to Subsections 2(b) and (c) within 15 business days following the end of each month in which compensation is earned.

        (b)   The Wholesaler agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust and the Managing Owner to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Managing Owner set forth in Subsection (a) of this Section 6 (and, in the case of the Managing Owner, for any indemnity paid by the Managing Owner pursuant to Subsection (a) of this Section 6), but only insofar as such losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon acts or omissions of the Wholesaler constituting negligence, misconduct or violation of this Agreement or applicable laws or regulations.

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 party in connection with the defense thereof.

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.

        (e)   The exculpation provisions of the Trust's Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement shall not relieve the Managing Owner or its principals from any liability they may have or incur to the Trust under this Agreement.
