INDEPENDENCE OF THE ADVISOR For all purposes herein, the Advisor shall be deemed to be an independent contractor and, unless otherwise expressly provided or authorized, shall have no authority to act for or represent the Partnership in any way and shall not be deemed an agent, promoter or sponsor of the Partnership, CMF, or any other trading advisor. The Advisor shall not be responsible to the Partnership, CMF, any trading advisor or any limited partners for any acts or omissions of any other trading advisor to the Partnership.
COMPENSATION TO THE ADVISOR The Trust shall pay the Advisor, out of the assets of a Fund, as full compensation for all services rendered, an advisory fee for such Fund set forth below. Such fee shall be calculated by applying the following annual rates to the average daily net assets of such Fund for the calendar year computed in the manner used for the determination of the net asset value of shares of such Fund.
Services of the Adviser The Adviser represents and warrants that it is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (“Advisers Act”) and will maintain such registration for so long as required by applicable law. Subject to the general supervision of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Adviser shall provide the following advisory, management, and other services with respect to the Series:
(a) Provide general investment advice and guidance with respect to the Series and provide advice and guidance to the Company’s Directors, and oversee the management of the investments of the Series and the composition of each Series’ portfolio of securities and investments, including cash, and the purchase, retention and disposition thereof, in accordance with each Series’ investment objective or objectives and policies as stated in the Company’s registration statement, as may be supplemented or amended from time to time (the “Registration Statement”), which management may be provided by others selected by the Adviser and approved by the Board of Directors as provided below or directly by the Adviser as provided in Section 3 of this Agreement;
(b) Render to the Board of Directors of the Company such periodic and special reports as the Board of Directors may reasonably request; and
(c) Make available its officers and employees to the Board of Directors and officers of the Company for consultation and discussions regarding the administration and management of the Series and services provided to the Company under this Agreement.
REIMBURSEMENT TO THE ADVISOR The Company shall not reimburse the Advisor for Total Operating Expenses to the extent that Total Operating Expenses (including the Asset Management Fee), in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended (the “Expense Year”) exceed (the “Excess Amount”) the greater of 2% of Average Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income for that period of four consecutive fiscal quarters. Any Excess Amount paid to the Advisor during a fiscal quarter shall be repaid to the Company. Reimbursement of all or any portion of the Total Operating Expenses that exceed the limitation set forth in the preceding sentence may, at the option of the Advisor, be deferred without interest and may be reimbursed in any subsequent Expense Year where such limitation would permit such reimbursement if the Total Operating Expense were incurred during such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is an Excess Amount in any Expense Year and the Independent Directors determine that all or a portion of such excess was justified, based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which they deem sufficient, the Excess Amount may be reimbursed to the Advisor. If the Independent Directors determine such excess was justified, then, after the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company for which there is an Excess Amount for the 12 months then ended paid to the Advisor, the Advisor, at the direction of the Independent Directors, shall cause such fact to be disclosed in the next quarterly report of the Company or in a separate writing and sent to the Stockholders within 60 days of such quarter end, together with an explanation of the factors the Independent Directors considered in determining that such Excess Amount was justified. Such determination shall be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the Board. The Company will not reimburse the Advisor or its Affiliates for services for which the Advisor or its Affiliates are entitled to compensation in the form of a separate fee. All figures used in any computation pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.

The foregoing notwithstanding, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect after Indemnitee has ceased to serve as a director, officer, advisor, key employee or in any other capacity of the Company, as provided in Section 17. This Agreement, however, shall not impose any obligation on Indemnitee or the Company to continue Indemnitee’s service to the Company beyond any period otherwise required by law or by other agreements or commitments of the parties, if any.
