The Trading Advisor shall not be liable for the consequences of any decision by the Trading Manager to override instructions of the Trading Advisor, except, subject to Section 7(a), to the extent that such consequences result from a material breach of this Agreement by the Trading Advisor or the Trading Advisor fails to comply with the Trading Manager’s decision to override an instruction.

For all purposes of this Agreement, the Trading Advisor shall be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall, unless otherwise expressly provided herein or authorized, have no authority to act for or represent the Trading Company or its Members in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Trading Company or its Members. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require the Trading Company to take any action contrary to the Operating Agreement or the Certificate of Formation of the Trading Company as from time to time in effect, or any applicable law or rule or regulation of any regulatory or self-regulatory body, exchange, or board. Nothing herein contained shall constitute the Trading Advisor, the Trading Manager, the Trading Company or the Members, as members of any partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate or other entity, or be deemed to confer on any of them any express, implied, or apparent authority to incur any obligation or liability on behalf of any other.

  4. Commodity Broker; Foreign Exchange (“FX”) Prime Broker.

(a) The Trading Advisor shall effect all transactions in futures interests for the Trading Company through the Trading Company’s separate account maintained with such commodity broker or brokers as the Trading Manager shall direct and appoint from time to time with the prior written consent of the Trading Advisor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Both Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS & Co.”), Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited (“MSIL”), and Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. (“MSCG” and collectively, the “Commodity Brokers”) may act as the clearing commodity brokers for the Trading Company, and MS & Co. and its Affiliates may act as FX forward contract counterparty for the Trading Company. MSCG and its Affiliates may act as an options on FX forward contract counterparty for the Trading Company. The Trading Manager shall provide the Trading Advisor with copies of brokerage statements.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trading Advisor may execute trades through floor brokers other than those employed by MS & Co. and its Affiliates so long as arrangements (including executed give-up agreements) are made for such floor brokers¸ give-up brokers, prime brokers, dealers or other executing entities or facilities (collectively, “Executing

 

8


Brokers”) to “give-up” or transfer the positions to MS & Co. in conformity with the Trading Policies set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. The Trading Manager will review and approve or disapprove all Executing Brokers proposed by the Trading Advisor for the Trading Company’s account, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If an Executing Broker is approved, the Trading Company will not hold the Trading Advisor liable for any error or breach of contract by any such Executing Broker subject to the standard of liability set forth in Section 7(a). In addition, the Trading Advisor may execute trades directly on an exchange or other trading venue, and the Trading Advisor may use any execution method, including but not limited to automated order routing, order or trade bunching, exchange-for-physical (“EFP”), exchange-for-swap (“EFS”), block trading and pre-execution communication, to the extent permitted by and subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations including, without limitation, the rules of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Intercontinental Exchange. Irrespective of whether Executing Brokers unaffiliated with MS& Co. receive the Trading Manager’s consent to execute trades on behalf of the Trading Company, all such trades will be “given-up” to be carried by MS & Co. The Trading Advisor shall have full authority, acting as the Trading Company’s agent, (i) to negotiate, enter into, execute and deliver, any agreement, instrument or authorization relating to order execution, trading, trade affirmation, automated order routing, breakage resolution, compensation and rebate and bonus programs and (ii) to enter into, execute and deliver any agreement, instrument or authorization relating to trade give-up, EFP and the associated initial and offsetting spot FX or forward transactions, EFS and the associated initial and offsetting swap transactions, in the case of either (i) or (ii) on behalf of the Trading Company, or in the Trading Advisor’s own name but for the account, benefit and risk of the Trading Company. The Trading Advisor shall have the full authority to make the necessary representations and warranties set forth in such agreements and to negotiate the applicable commissions, if any, on such terms as the Trading Advisor, in its reasonable discretion, and acting on behalf of the Trading Company, deems necessary or appropriate. The Trading Company, the Trading Manager and the Trading Advisor agree that all orders and transactions entered into pursuant to any such agreement, instrument and authorization are being entered into by the Trading Advisor as the Trading Company’s agent for the account, benefit and risk of the Trading Company, notwithstanding the fact that such agreement, instrument or authorization, or the corresponding orders and transaction may have been entered into by the Trading Advisor in its own name. The Trading Company agrees to assume all liabilities associated with the orders and transactions entered into pursuant to this Agreement and agrees, subject to the standard of liability set forth in Section 7(a) of this Agreement, that the Trading Advisor shall have no liability for such orders and transactions.

(c) Any “FX prime brokerage” arrangements which the Trading Advisor may wish to establish for the Trading Company is hereby approved by the Trading Manager but is subject to approval by MS & Co. The Trading Manager hereby so approves Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as FX prime broker to effectuate the give-up of OTC FX transactions to MS & Co.. or such other clearing broker appointed by the Trading Company from time to time for the account, benefit and risk of the Trading Company, and the applicable prime brokerage commissions to be negotiated by the Trading Advisor. The Trading Company, the Trading Manager and the Trading Advisor agree that all OTC FX transactions entered into pursuant to this Agreement are being entered into by the Trading Advisor as the Trading Company’s agent for the account, benefit and risk of the Trading Company, notwithstanding that such OTC FX transactions are first being entered into by the Trading Advisor, being treated as principal by the FX prime broker and MS & Co.. The Trading Company agrees to assume all liabilities associated with the OTC FX transactions and the Trading Company and the Trading Manager agree, subject to the standard of liability set forth in Section 7(a) of this Agreement, that the Trading Advisor shall have no liability for such OTC FX transactions.

 

  5. Fees.

(a) For the services to be rendered to the Trading Company by the Trading Advisor under this Agreement:

(i) The Trading Company shall pay the Trading Advisor a monthly management fee equal to 1/12th of 1% (a 1% annual rate) of the Assets as of the first day of each month (the “Management Fee”). The Management Fee is payable in arrears within 30 Business Days of the end of the month for which it was calculated. For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” shall mean any day which the securities markets are open in the United States; and

(ii) The Trading Company shall pay the Trading Advisor an incentive fee equal to 20% of the “New Trading Profit” (as defined in Section 5(d) hereof) in each capital account of the Members in the Trading Company (the “Capital Account”) that shall accrue monthly, effective January 1, 2016, but is not payable until the end of each calendar half year (the “Incentive Fee”). The Incentive Fee is payable within 30 Business Days of the end of the calendar half year for which it was calculated.

 

10


(b) If this Agreement is terminated on a date other than the last day of a calendar half year, the Incentive Fee shall be determined as if such date were the end of a calendar half year. If this Agreement is terminated on a date other than the end of a month, the Management Fee described above shall be determined as if such date were the end of a month, but such fee shall be prorated based on the ratio of the number of calendar days in the month through the date of termination to the total number of calendar days in the month. If, during any month after the Trading Company has commenced trading operations (including the month in which the Trading Company commenced such operations), the Trading Company does not conduct business operations, or suspends trading for the account of the Trading Company managed by the Trading Advisor, or, as a result of an act or material failure to act by the Trading Advisor, is otherwise unable to utilize the trading advice of the Trading Advisor on any of the calendar days of that month for any reason, the Management Fee shall be prorated based on the ratio of the number of calendar days in the month which the Trading Company account managed by the Trading Advisor engaged in trading operations or utilizes the trading advice of the Trading Advisor to the total number of calendar days in the month. In the event that there is an increase or decrease in the Assets as of any day other than the first day of a month, the Trading Advisor shall be paid a pro rata Management Fee on such increase or decrease in the Assets for such month.

(c) The term “Net Assets” shall mean the total assets of the Trading Company (including, but not limited to, all cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest and amortization of original issue discount, and the market value (marked-to-market) of all open futures interests positions and other assets of the Trading Company) less all liabilities of the Trading Company determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied under the accrual basis of accounting. Unless generally accepted accounting principles require otherwise, the market value of a futures or option contract traded on a United States exchange shall mean the settlement price on the exchange on which the particular futures or option contract shall be traded by the Trading Company on the day with respect to which the Net Assets are being determined; provided, however, that if a contract could not be liquidated on such day due to the operation of daily limits or other rules of the exchange on which that contract shall be traded or otherwise, the settlement price on the first subsequent day on which the contract could be liquidated shall be the market value of such contract for such day, or if a contract could not be liquidated on such day due to the exchange being closed for an exchange holiday, the settlement price on the most recent preceding day on which the contract could have been liquidated shall be the market value of such contract for such day. The market value of a forward contract or a futures or option contract traded on a foreign exchange or market shall mean its market value as determined by the Trading Manager on a basis consistently applied for each different variety of contract.

 

11


(d) The term “New Trading Profit” shall mean net futures interests trading profits (realized and unrealized) on the Assets in each Capital Account, decreased by such Capital Account’s pro-rata share of (i) the Trading Advisor’s monthly management fees and (ii) the Trading Company’s brokerage commissions, transaction costs and administrative fees. Such trading profits and items of decrease shall be determined for each Capital Account from the end of the last calendar half year in which an Incentive Fee was earned by the Trading Advisor or, if no Incentive Fee has been earned previously by the Trading Advisor with respect to a Capital Account, from the date that the Trading Advisor commenced managing the Assets in the Capital Account to the end of the calendar half year as of which such Incentive Fee calculation is being made. Extraordinary expenses do not reduce New Trading Profit. Interest income is not included in New Trading Profit. New Trading Profit shall be calculated before reduction for Incentive Fees paid or accrued so that the Trading Advisor does not have to earn back Incentive Fees. Accrued Incentive Fees shall be paid to the Trading Advisor on any New Trading Profits earned on those Assets withdrawn from a Capital Account due to redemptions at the end of any month when such withdrawal of Assets is made as if such month-end is the end of the calendar half year.

(e) If any payment of Incentive Fees is made to the Trading Advisor on account of New Trading Profit earned by the Trading Advisor for a Capital Account and the Trading Advisor thereafter fails to earn New Trading Profit for such Capital Account or experiences losses for any subsequent incentive period the Trading Advisor shall be entitled to retain such amounts of Incentive Fees previously paid to the Trading Advisor in respect of such New Trading Profit. No Incentive Fees shall be payable to the Trading Advisor with respect to a Capital Account until the Trading Advisor has earned New Trading Profit; provided, however, that if the Assets of a Capital Account are reduced because of redemptions that occur at the end of, and/or subsequent to, a calendar half year in which the Trading Advisor experiences a futures interests trading loss for such Capital Account, the trading loss that must be recovered by such Capital Account before the Trading Advisor will be deemed to experience New Trading Profit for such Capital Account in a subsequent calendar half year will be equal to the amount determined by (x) dividing the Assets of such Capital Account after such decrease by the Assets in such Capital Account immediately before such decrease and (y) multiplying that fraction by the amount of the unrecovered futures interests trading loss prior to such decrease. In the event that the Trading Advisor experiences a trading loss for a Capital Account in more than one calendar half year without the Trading Company paying an intervening Incentive Fee with

 

12


respect to such Capital Account and the Assets for a Capital Account are reduced in more than one such calendar half year because of redemptions, then the trading loss for each such calendar half year shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula described above and such reduced amount of futures interests trading loss shall be carried forward and used to offset subsequent futures interests trading profits.

 

  6. Term

If the Trading Manager or Trading Company merges, consolidates or sells a substantial portion of its assets pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement, the Trading Advisor may terminate this Agreement upon prior written notice to the Trading Manager and Trading Company.
