     a Purchaser Representative(s), Subscriber hereby acknowledges that
     Subscriber has had disclosed in writing by Subscriber's Purchaser

     existing or contemplated, or which has existed at any time during the two
     years preceding the date hereof, as well as any compensation received or
     to be received as a result of such relationship. If Subscriber is using a
     Purchaser Representative, a Purchaser Representative Questionnaire (a
     copy of which may be obtained from the General Partner upon request)
     shall be completed and returned to the General Partner with this
     Subscription Agreement.

     will advise Subscriber as soon as practicable whether this Subscription
     Agreement, together with all or a portion of the subscription, has been
     accepted or rejected. Any subscriptions may be rejected in whole or in
     part by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. If this
     subscription is rejected, the Partnership shall as soon as practicable

     registered address set forth under "Registration Information" will
     constitute payment to Subscriber and relieve the Partnership of any
     further obligation to Subscriber with respect to the amounts so paid and
     the Units thereby redeemed, and Subscriber releases the Partnership from
     any further obligation with respect thereto. Subscriber understands that
     the Partnership may impose such procedures as it deems appropriate before
     it will accept any change to the registered address.

     Partnership and the offering of the Units have not been approved,
     disapproved, or reviewed by any federal or state agency or commission or
     by any exchange or other self-regulatory organization. Subscriber has a
     substantive and pre-existing relationship with the General Partner or its
     principals, employees, agents or representatives, (including the Selling
     Agents).

     appropriate, the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended ("CEA"), the
     Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") Regulations, the National
     Futures Association ("NFA") Rules, United States and non-United States
     securities laws, and state securities laws), and there are no actions,
     suits, proceedings, or investigations pending or, to the knowledge of
     Subscriber, threatened against Subscriber or any of its principals or
     affiliates, at law or in equity or before any governmental department,
     commission, board, bureau, agency, or instrumentality, or any
     self-regulatory organization, or any securities or commodity exchange, in
     which an adverse decision could materially and adversely affect
     Subscriber's ability to conduct its business or to comply with, and
     perform its obligations under, this Subscription Agreement. In that
     regard, if necessary under the CEA or CFTC Regulations, Subscriber is
     registered as a commodity pool operator with the CFTC and is a member of
     the NFA, and such registration and membership, if required, have not
     expired or been revoked, suspended, terminated, or not renewed, or
     limited or qualified in any respect.

10.  Limitations on Transfers. Subscriber understands and agrees that the
     Units may not be offered for sale, sold, pledged, hypothecated,
     transferred, assigned, or otherwise disposed of (each a "Transfer"), and
     will not attempt to Transfer its Units without the prior written consent
     of the General Partner, which consent may be granted or withheld in the
     sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner. Subscriber further
     represents and warrants that it does not have any intention or obligation
     to Transfer all or a portion of its Units. Subscriber understands that
     the Units may not be resold unless subsequently registered pursuant to
     the 1933 Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available,
     and that Subscriber does not have the right to require such registration.
     Subscriber further understands that Rule 144 under the 1933 Act will not
     be available to permit resales of Units and that there is and will be no
     public market for the Units. Subscriber has the ability and willingness
     to accept (i) the illiquid nature of an investment in the Partnership and
     (ii) the risk of loss of all or a substantial portion of its investment
     in the Partnership.

     any profits whatsoever.

     the General Partner, Subscriber represents and warrants that Subscriber

     Subscriber also agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless the
     Partnership Parties from and against any and all direct and consequential

     (c)  Binding Agreement. Subscriber understands that this Agreement, upon
          acceptance by the Partnership, shall constitute a binding agreement
          between the Partnership and the Subscriber. This Agreement and the

          the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, legal
          representatives, successors, and assigns of the parties hereto.

     (d)  Representations and Warranties Continuing. The understandings,
          declarations, covenants, representations, warranties and
          indemnification obligations of the Subscriber contained in this
          Subscription Agreement are continuous and will survive the execution
          hereof and the purchase of the Units. If at any time any event shall
          occur which could make any of the foregoing incomplete or
          inaccurate, Subscriber shall immediately notify the Partnership of
          the occurrence of such event.

     (e)  Choice of Law. This Subscription Agreement shall be deemed to have
          been made under, and shall be governed by, and construed in
          accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York
          (excluding the law thereof which requires the application of or
          reference to the law of any other jurisdiction).

     (f)  Legal Capacity. Each person signing this Subscription Agreement has
          the legal authority, capacity and power to do so. If more than one

          such persons, and the foregoing grant of power of attorney to the
          General Partner shall be a joint and several grant by all such
          persons. Actions of any one joint Subscriber pursuant to this
          Subscription Agreement shall bind all Subscribers. A subscription in
          joint names creates a joint tenancy with right of survivorship.

     (g)  Costs. If any legal action or any arbitration or other proceeding is
          brought for the enforcement of the agreement represented by this
          Subscription Agreement or because of an alleged dispute, breach,

          provisions of this Subscription Agreement, the successful or
          prevailing party or parties shall be entitled to recover reasonable
          attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in that action or
          proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which they may be
          entitled.

     (h)  Instructions. Subscriber hereby confirms that the General Partner is
          authorized and instructed to accept and execute any instructions in
          respect of the Units to which this Subscription Agreement relates
          given by Subscriber by facsimile. If instructions are given by

     (l)  Arbitration. By executing this Subscription Agreement, Subscriber
          waives its right to seek remedies in court, including any right to a
          jury trial. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Subscriber
          agrees that in the event of any dispute between the parties arising
          out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement or the
          Fund, such dispute shall be resolved exclusively by arbitration to

          laws of the State of New York. Disputes shall not be resolved in any
          other forum or venue. The parties agree that such arbitration shall

          disputes regarding the securities business, that discovery shall not
          be permitted except as required by the rules of JAMS, that the

          judgment may be entered on it in any court of competent jurisdiction

23.  ERISA Accounts. The following provision is applicable to any Subscriber
     acting on behalf of an "employee benefit plan" as defined in and subject
     to ERISA, or a "plan" as defined in Section 4975 of the Code (a "Plan"),
     which would include, among other types of arrangements, IRAs, Keogh
     plans, corporate pension and profit sharing plans, "simplified employee
     pension plans" and medical benefit plans. Plan fiduciaries or trustees
     must carefully confirm that an investment in the Fund is authorized under
     the operative documents of the Plan. Many Plans may not in fact be
     authorized to invest in a highly leverage, illiquid and speculative
     investment such as the Fund. If the undersigned is acting on behalf of a
     Plan, the individual signing this Subscription Agreement on behalf of the
     subscriber hereby further represents and warrants, as the agent or the
     fiduciary of the Plan responsible for purchasing Units (the "Investment
     Fiduciary"), that: (a) the Investment Fiduciary has considered an
     investment in the Fund in light of the risks relating thereto; (b) the
     Investment Fiduciary has determined that, in view of such considerations,
     an investment in the Fund is consistent with the Investment Fiduciary's
     responsibilities under ERISA or other applicable law; (c) the Plan's
     investment in the Fund does not violate and is not otherwise inconsistent
     with the terms of any legal document constituting the Plan or any trust
     agreement thereunder; (d) the Plan's investment in the Fund has been duly
     authorized and approved by all necessary parties; (e) none of the General
     Partner, the Trading Advisors utilized by the Fund, Carr Futures, Inc.,
     ABN AMRO, Inc., ABN AMRO Bank, N.V., SunTrust Bank, CIS Financial
     Services, Inc., any selling agent retained to sell units, any of their
     respective affiliates or any of their respective agents or employees; (i)
     has investment discretion with respect to the investment of assets of the
     Plan used to purchase the units; (ii) has authority or responsibility to
     or regularly gives investment advice with respect to the assets of the
     Plan used to purchase the units for a fee and pursuant to an agreement or
     understanding that such advice will serve as a primary basis for
     investment decision with respect to the Plan and that such advice will be
     based on the particular investment needs of the Plan; or (iii) is an
     employer maintaining or contributing to the Plan, unless, after taking
     into consideration such relationship, the Investment Fiduciary has
     determined and hereby represents and warrants that the Plan's investments
     in the Fund will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction
     under ERISA and the Code; (f) the Investment Fiduciary (i) is authorized
     to make, and is responsible for, the decision to invest in the Fund,
     including the determination that such investment is consistent with the
     requirements imposed by Section 404 of ERISA (or other applicable law)
     that plan investments be diversified so as to minimize the risks of large
     losses; (ii) is independent of the General Partner, the Trading Advisors
     utilized by the Fund, Carr Futures, Inc., ABN AMRO, Inc., ABN AMRO Bank,
     N.V., SunTrust Bank, CIS Financial Services, Inc., each selling agent
     retained to sell units and each of their respective affiliates; and (iii)
     is qualified to make such investment decision; and (g) taking into
     account the following factors, and all other factors relating to the
     Fund, the undersigned has concluded that investment in the Fund
     constitutes an appropriate part of the Plan's overall investment program:
     (i) there is a significant risk of the loss of substantial or the
     majority of the Plan's investment; (ii) an investment in the Fund will be
     illiquid, except for certain redemption rights; (iii) the Fund will
     permit the aggregate investments by benefit plan investors to exceed
     twenty-five percent (25%) of any class of equity interest of the Plan, in
     which case the assets of the Fund will be for purposes of ERISA and
     Section 4975 of the Code deemed assets of the Plans on whose behalf
     investments in the Fund are made; and (iv) funds invested in the Fund
     will not be readily available for the payment of employee benefits under
     the Plan. The undersigned further represents and warrants that (a) the
     trustee of the Plan will hold the Plan's units in trust, unless not
     required by ERISA; (b) the Investment Fiduciary consents to the payment
     of fees to the General Partner, the Traders, Carr Futures, Inc., ABN
     AMRO, Inc., SunTrust Bank, and their agents and has determined that the
     arrangement for services by, and the fees to be paid to, the General
     Partner, the Traders, Carr Futures, Inc., ABN AMRO, Inc., SunTrust Bank,
     and their agents are


                                      7





     reasonable and the services to be performed by such persons are
     appropriate and helpful to the Plan, all within the meaning of Section
     408(b)(2) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(2) of the Code; (c) that, to the
     extent the Plan is subject to ERISA and for so long as the unitholder
     maintains an interest in the Fund, it will maintain a qualifying ERISA
     fiduciary bond that covers the General Partner and Trading Advisors as a
     named insured in respect of the Plan's assets that are invested in the
     Fund, and (d) the undersigned consents on behalf of the Plan to and
     authorizes the operation of the Fund as described in the Fund's
     Memorandum. The undersigned will notify the General Partner, in writing,
     of (a) any termination, substantial contraction, merger or consolidation
     of the Plan, or transfer of its assets to any other plan; (b) any
     amendment to the Plan or any related instrument which materially affects
     the investments of the Plan or the authority of any fiduciary to
     authorize Plan investments; and (c) any alteration in the identity of any
     fiduciary, including the undersigned, who has the authority to approve
     and monitor Plan investments. The undersigned will, at the request of the
     General Partner, furnish the General Partner with such information as the
     General Partner may reasonably require to establish that the purchase of
     the units by the Plan and the transactions to be entered into by the
     Fund, and the holding of any investment by the Fund, do not violate any
     provision of ERISA or the Code, including, without limitation, those
     provisions relating to "prohibited transactions" by "parties in interest"
     or "disqualified persons" as defined therein.

24.  Party in Interest/Disqualified Person Status. If the subscriber is a Plan
     that is subject to ERISA or the prohibited transaction provisions of the
     Code, the undersigned has determined, after investigating the Plan's
     specific facts and circumstances and hereby represents and warrants, that
     Carr Futures, Inc. and ABN AMRO, Inc. are not (a) an ERISA fiduciaries
     with respect to the Plan or (b) a "parties in interest" (as such term is
     defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a "disqualified person" (as defined
     in Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code) with respect to the Plan for a reason
     other than being a service provider to the Plan (or being an affiliate of
     a Plan service provider). If the subscriber is a Plan that is subject to
     ERISA or the prohibited transaction provisions of the Code, the
     undersigned has determined, after investigating the Plan's specific facts
     and circumstances, and hereby represents and warrants, that CIS Financial
     Services, Inc. and ABN AMRO Bank, N.V. are not "parties in interest" (as
     such term is defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or "disqualified persons"
     (as defined in Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code) with respect to the Plan.
     The undersigned agrees and covenants that CIS Financial Services, Inc.
     and ABN AMRO Bank, N.V. will not, while the Plan holds units, become a
     party in interest (as such term is defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or
     disqualified person (as such term is defined in Section 4975(e)(2) of the
     Code) with respect to the Plan. The undersigned agrees and covenants that
     Carr Futures, Inc. and ABN AMRO, Inc. will not, while the Plan holds
     units, become a fiduciary to the Plan or a party in interest (as defined
     in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a "disqualified person" (as defined in
     Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code) with respect to the Plan (other than by
     reason of being a service provider to the Plan or being an affiliate of a
     Plan service provider).

     For these purposes a party in interest generally includes any person
     possessing one of the following relationships with a Plan:

     o    a fiduciary to the Plan (or an affiliate of a Plan fiduciary) (such
          as an advisor to the Plan);

     o    a Plan service provider (e.g. custodian, broker or trustee) (or one
          of its affiliates);

     o    an employer whose employees are covered by the Plan (or one of its
          affiliates);

     o    an employee organization any of whose members are covered by the
          Plan; or

     o    relatives or affiliates of a Plan fiduciary or IRA owner.

     The undersigned agrees to notify the General Partner immediately upon
     becoming aware of any of the foregoing provisions of this provision being
     untrue.

25.  Consent to Jurisdiction. The parties hereto agree that any action or
     proceeding arising directly, indirectly, or otherwise in connection with,
     out of, related to, or from this Agreement, any breach hereof, or any
     transaction covered hereby, shall be resolved, whether by arbitration or
     otherwise, within the County, City, and State of New York. Accordingly,
     the parties consent and submit to the jurisdiction of the federal and
     state courts and any applicable arbitral body located within the County,
     City, and State of New York. The parties further agree that any such
     action or proceeding brought by either party to enforce any right, assert
     any claim, or obtain any relief whatsoever in connection with this
     Agreement shall be brought by such party exclusively in the federal or
     state courts, or if appropriate before any applicable arbitral body,
     located within the County, City, and State of New York.

(f) Subscriber's governing documents do not prohibit the Partnership from investing in specific securities, financial instruments or issues, including, but not limited to, securities and financial instruments which would be deemed to be "employer securities" with respect to Subscriber as defined in Section 407 of ERISA.
