1. Section 6(a)(i) of the Management Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:
 
(i)  A monthly management fee, without regard to the profitability of the Trading Advisor’s trading for the Partnership’s account, equal to 1/12 of 1.50% (a 1.50% annual rate) of the portion of the Partnership’s Net Assets allocated to the Trading Advisor as of the opening of business on the first day of each calendar month, commencing with the month in which the Partnership begins to receive trading advice from the Trading Advisor pursuant to this Agreement.

4. In all other respects the Management Agreement remains unchanged and of full force and effect.

5. This Amendment No. 3 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.

 
 
 
 
6. Each party represents and warrants, with respect to itself only, that it has taken all action required to be taken in order to authorize and effect this Amendment No. 3. This Amendment No. 3 constitutes
 a legal, valid and binding and enforceable obligation of each party.

7. This Amendment No. 3 is subject to and shall be construed in accordance with the laws applicable to the Management Agreement and the jurisdiction provisions of the Management Agreement shall apply equally to this Amendment.
