EX-1.01 3 c66226a6exv1w01.txt FORM OF SELLING AGREEMENT Exhibit 1.01 SELLING AGENT AGREEMENT _______________, 2002 Quadriga Asset Management, Inc. 180 North LaSalle Street Suite #2416 Chicago, Illinois 60601 Ladies and Gentlemen: Quadriga Superfund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership issuing Series A and Series B units (the "Company"), whose general partner is Quadriga Capital Management, Inc. ("QCM"), hereby confirms its agreement with Quadriga Asset Management, Inc. ("QAM", "Agent" or "you"), as follows: Introductory The Company is offering (the "Offering") for sale of its newly issued units of business trust (the "Units"). It is acknowledged that QCM may, in its sole discretion, regardless of any priorities or preferences, accept or reject subscriptions in whole or in part in the Offering and terminate the Offering at any time. Once made, subscriptions are irrevocable provided that a subscriber may revoke his subscription within 10 business days prior to the applicable Closing (defined below), whichever comes first, by the subscriber delivering written notice to QCM. The term "Initial Offering Period" is the period commencing on the date of the Prospectus and ending on April 30, 2003 (unless extended by QCM upon amendment of the Registration Statement (defined below)) or such earlier date as QCM has accepted subscriptions for at least $2,000,000 in either Series. During the Initial Offering Period, Agent will offer Units for sale at an "Initial Closing" at a price equal to $1,000 per Unit, which Initial Closing will not take place unless QCM has accepted subscriptions for at least 2,000 Units in any single Series. If the minimum number of Units is not sold during the Initial Offering Period, the Offering will terminate and all subscription amounts (together with any interest earned thereon) will be refunded to subscribers, as described in the Prospectus. Units which remain unsold following the Initial Closing will be offered for sale in a continuing offering (the "Continuing Offering") at monthly closings ("Monthly Closings;" the Initial Closing or any Monthly Closing, each a "Closing") to be held on the last day of each month at a price per Unit equal to 100% of the Net Asset Value, as defined in the Company's restated trust agreement (the "Trust Agreement"), as of the close of business on the date of such Monthly Closing. The minimum initial subscription for an investor is $5,000. Once an investor has been admitted to the Company, there is no minimum for additional subscriptions, except that they must be in multiples of $1,000. The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a Registration Statement on Form S-1 containing a prospectus relating to the Offering for the registration of the Units under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). The Registration Statement, as amended and as declared effective by the Commission, is hereinafter referred to as the "Registration Statement." The prospectus on file with the Commission at the time the Registration Statement initially becomes effective is hereinafter called the "Prospectus," except that if the Company files a Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424 of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1933 Act (the "1933 Act Regulations") which differs from the Prospectus on file at the time the Registration Statement initially becomes effective, or if the Company files an amendment to the Registration Statement subsequent to the time it initially becomes effective and such amendment contains a Prospectus which differs from the Prospectus on file at the time the Registration Statement initially becomes effective, the term "Prospectus" refers to the Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424 or contained in such amendment to the Registration Statement from and after the time said Prospectus is filed with or transmitted to the Commission for filing. Any terms not expressly defined herein have the same definition and meaning as is set forth in the Prospectus. SECTION 1. APPOINTMENT OF AGENT Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby appoints Quadriga Asset Management, Inc. as its exclusive marketing agent to consult with and advise the Company, and, on a "best efforts" basis, to assist the Company with the solicitations of subscriptions for Units in connection with the Company's offering of the Units in the Offering. Agent will offer and sell Units in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Subscription Agreement and this Agreement. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, Quadriga Asset Management, Inc. accepts such appointment and agrees to consult with and advise the Company as to matters relating to the Offering and agrees to use its best efforts to solicit subscriptions for Units in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that the Agent will not be responsible for obtaining subscriptions for any specific number of Units, will not be required to purchase any Units and will not be obligated to take any action which is 2 inconsistent with any applicable law, regulation, decision or order or decree, directive, agreements or memorandum of or with any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, or other government body. Units will be offered by means of Subscription Agreements and Subscription Agreement for Existing Investors or Subscribers, substantially in the respective forms set forth as Exhibit C and D to the Prospectus (each a "Subscription Agreement"). The parties agree that Units may be sold by the Agent or by other broker-dealers appointed by the Agent (each an "Additional Selling Agent"), provided that each such other broker-dealer executes a Selected Additional Selling Agent Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Selling Agent and each Additional Selling Agent will notify the Company of the identity of the registered representative of the Agent or Additional Selling Agent, as the case may be, credited with the sale of each Unit (such registered representative being referred to as the "Responsible Broker" and such Unit being referred to as a "Credited Unit"). The Selling Agent and each Additional Selling Agent will agree diligently to make inquiries of each prospective purchaser of Units concerning the suitability of such an investment for such person and to retain in its records and make available to the Company for a period of a least six years, information establishing that an investment in Units is suitable for each purchaser of Units solicited by them. SECTION 2. COMPENSATION OF THE SELLING AGENT, ADDITIONAL SELLING AGENTS AND RESPONSIBLE BROKERS As compensation for the Agent's services under this Agreement or an Additional Selling Agent's services under an Additional Selling Agent Agreement, the Company will pay to the Agent or such Additional Selling Agent, as the case may be, a sales commission of up to 4% of the purchase price of each Unit sold by the Agent or such Additional Selling Agent. Such compensation will be paid promptly following the applicable Closing for such Unit. As additional compensation to each Responsible Broker, the Company will pay the Responsible Broker a trailing commission with respect to each Credited Unit equal to 4% of the Net Asset Value of a Unit (the "Trailing Commission"). The Trailing Commission will be based on the Net Asset Value of a Unit as of the last day of each year, commencing December 31, 2003; provided that: (a) no Trailing Commission will be paid with respect to any Credited Unit that has been outstanding for less than one full year; 3 (b) if a Credited Unit is redeemed during a subsequent year, the Trailing Commission with respect to such Credited Unit will be prorated based on the portion of the year during which such Credited Unit was outstanding; and (c) to be eligible to receive the Trailing Commission, the Responsible Broker must, at the date of payment, be a registered representative of a broker-dealer that is registered with the Commission and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") or be an associated person of a futures commission merchant registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC") (such requirements being referred to as the "Eligibility Requirements"). The Trailing Commission, if any, payable to a Responsible Broker will be paid within 45 days following the close of each year. Once you or an Additional Selling Agent sell Units to a particular investor, you or such Additional Selling Agent will be entitled to a sales commission on any Units subsequently purchased by that investor, and such units will be deemed Credited Units of the Responsible Broker, for which he will be entitled to a Trailing Commission so long as he satisfies the Eligibility Requirements. The appointment of the Agent hereunder will terminate upon completion or termination of the Offering. SECTION 3. CLOSING DATES, RELEASE OF FUNDS (a) The Initial Closing, if any, for the acceptance of subscriptions for Units of Currency is currently scheduled to be held on or before December 31, 2002. Monthly Closings in the Continuing Offering for Units will be held as of the last day of each month. (b) Subject to its right to reject any subscription in its sole discretion in whole or in part at any time prior to acceptance, the QCM, on behalf of the Company, will accept subscriptions for Units properly made and cause proper entry to be made in the Unit register to be maintained by the QCM. No certificate evidencing Units will be issued to any subscriber; rather, Agent will deliver confirmations in its customary form to subscribers whose subscriptions have been accepted by the QCM at each Closing. (c) At each Closing, the delivery, receipt, and acceptance of subscriptions for Units will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including payment of the full subscription price for Units and delivery of a properly completed Subscription Agreement by each subscriber. 4 (d) Upon the satisfaction of such terms and conditions, the aggregate subscription price for Units will be paid and delivered to the Company at each Closing. SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES The Company and QCM represent and warrant to the Agent as follows: (a) The Company intends to file the Registration Statement with the Commission or before March 1, 2002. The Company also intends to file copies of the Registration Statement with (i) the CFTC under the Commodity Exchange Act (the "CEA") and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the CFTC (the "CFTC Rules"); (ii) NASD Regulation, Inc.

(m) Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, there is not now pending or, to the knowledge of QCM, threatened, any action, suit or proceeding, before or by any court, governmental agency or body or self-regulatory organization to which QCM, any "principals" of QCM, as defined in CFTC Rule 4.10(e) ("QCM Principals") or the Company is a party, which might result in a Material Adverse Effect, nor is QCM aware of any facts which would form the basis for the assertion of any material claim or liability that are not disclosed in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, and neither QCM nor any QCM Principal has received any notice of an investigation by the Commission, the CFTC, NASD-R or the NFA regarding noncompliance by QCM, the QCM Principals or the Company with the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), any other federal securities laws, rules or regulations, the CEA, the CFTC Rules, or the rules of NASD-R or the NFA, which action, suit, proceeding, or investigation resulted or might reasonably be expected to result in any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, business or prospects of QCM or of the Company, or which could be material to an investor's decision to invest in any of the Company. (n) QCM and each "principal" of QCM, as defined in CFTC Rule 3.1(a), have all federal, state, and foreign governmental, regulatory, self-regulatory, and exchange approvals, licenses, registrations, and memberships, and have effected all filings with federal, state, and foreign governmental regulators, self-regulatory organizations, and exchanges required to conduct their business and to act as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, or required to perform their obligations under this Agreement and all other agreements referred to in the Prospectus or the Registration Statement to which the Company or QCM is a party.

(p) The Company and QCM have filed all necessary federal, state, local and foreign income and franchise tax returns and have paid, or are contesting in good faith, all taxes shown as due thereon; and QCM has no knowledge of any tax deficiency which has been or might be asserted against the Company or QCM, which would result in a Material Adverse Effect. (q) All contracts and other documents of the Company or QCM which are, under the 1933 Act Regulations, required to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement have been so filed. (r) The conduct of the businesses of the Company and QCM is in compliance in all respects with applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations, except where the failure to be in compliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and QCM are in possession of all necessary licenses, permits, consents, certificates, orders, and other governmental authorizations currently required for the conduct of their respective businesses, except where failure to obtain such licenses, permits, consents, certificates, orders or other governmental authorizations would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and all such licenses, permits, consents, certificates, orders and other governmental authorizations are in full force and effect and neither the Company nor QCM has received any notice of proceedings related to the revocation or modification thereof, and the Company and QCM are in all material respects complying therewith; the expiration of any such licenses, permits, consents, certificates, orders and other governmental authorizations would not materially affect their operations; and none of the activities or businesses of the Company or QCM is in violation of, or causes the Company or QCM to violate, any material law, rule, regulation or order of the United States, any state, county or locality, or any agency or body of the United States or of any state, county or locality. (s) Neither the Company nor QCM is in violation, breach or default of or under its charter or bylaws, certificate of limited Company or limited Company agreement, as applicable, or any material bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness or any material contract, agency agreement, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, lease, joint venture or other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or QCM is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound, or is in material violation of any federal, foreign, state or local law, order, rule, regulation, writ, injunction or decree of any government, governmental instrumentality or court, which violation would 9 have a Material Adverse Effect.

(v) All material transactions between the Company or QCM and the officers, directors, partners or shareholders who beneficially own more than 5% of any class of the Company's voting securities required to be disclosed under the rules of the Commission, have been accurately disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and, except as noted therein, the terms of each such transaction are fair to the Company and no less favorable to the Company than the terms that could have been obtained from unrelated parties. (w) The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action (and does not know of any action taken by its directors, officers, shareholders or others) designed to or which has constituted or which might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under the 1934 Act, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate, the sale or resale of the Units. Any certificate signed by an officer of QCM and delivered to the Agent or its counsel that refers to this Agreement will be deemed to be a representation and warranty by QCM to the Agent as to the matters covered thereby with the same effect as if such representation and warranty were set forth herein. SECTION 5. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY The Company and QCM hereby covenant with the Agent as follows: (a) The Company will not, at any time before or after the Registration Statement, including any supplement filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act, is declared effective by the Commission file any amendment to such Registration Statement without so notifying the Agent and without providing the Agent a reasonable opportunity to review such amendment. 10 (b) The Company will immediately upon receipt of any information concerning the events listed below notify the Agent and promptly confirm the notice in writing: (i) of the receipt of any comments from the Commission, or any other governmental entity having authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) any requests by the Commission or any other governmental entity having authority for any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other governmental entity having authority of any order or other action suspending the Offering or the use of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus; (iv) the issuance by the Commission or any state authority having jurisdiction of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the initiation or threat of initiation or threat of any proceedings for that purpose; or (v) of the occurrence of any event mentioned in paragraph (g) below. The Company will make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance by the Commission or any state authority having jurisdiction of any such order and, if any such order at any time is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible time. (c) The Company will give the Agent notice of its intention to file, and reasonable time to review prior to filing, any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus. (d) The Company has delivered or will deliver to the Agent and to its counsel two complete conformed copies (including all exhibits) of the Registration Statement, as originally filed and each amendment thereto. (e) The Company will furnish to the Agent, without charge, from time to time during the period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, such number of copies of such Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) as the Agent may reasonably request for the purposes contemplated by the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act or the respective applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The Company authorizes the Agent to use the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if 11 amended or supplemented) for any lawful manner in connection with the sale of the Units by the Agent. (f) The Company will comply in all material respects with the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated under the 1934 Act (the "1934 Act Regulations"), and all other applicable laws (including state Blue Sky laws) to be complied with prior to, at, and subsequent to each Closing. During the periods prior to each Closing and when the Prospectus is required to be delivered, the Company will comply in all material respects, at its own expense, with all requirements imposed upon it by the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations, in each case as from time to time in force, in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Prospectus. (g) If, at any time during the period when the Prospectus relating to the Units is required to be delivered (including the period after the Initial Closing and prior to each Monthly Closing), any event relating to or affecting the Company occurs, as a result of which it is necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable good faith opinion of the Agent's counsel, to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus in order to make the Registration Statement or Prospectus not misleading in light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser, the Company will, at its expense, forthwith prepare, file with the Commission and furnish to the Agent a reasonable number of copies of an amendment or amendments of, or a supplement or supplements to, the Registration Statement or Prospectus (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and its counsel after a reasonable time for review) which will amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus so that as amended or supplemented it will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances existing at the time the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading. For the purpose of this Agreement, the Company will timely furnish to the Agent such information with respect to itself as the Agent may from time to time reasonably request. (h) If required, the Company will take all necessary actions, in cooperation with you, to qualify or register the Units for offering and sale by the Company under the applicable securities or Blue Sky laws of each jurisdiction as you may reasonably designate, provided, however, that the Company will not be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified. In each jurisdiction where any of the Units has been qualified or registered as above provided, the Company will make and file such statements and reports in each fiscal period as are or may be required by the laws of such jurisdictions. (i) During the period which the Units are registered under the 1934 12 Act or for the three years from the final Closing, whichever period is greater, the Company will furnish to its unitholders as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year an annual report (including a consolidated statement of financial condition and consolidated statements of income or operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows of the Company and QCM as at the end of and for such year, certified by independent public accountants in accordance with Regulation S-X under the 1933 Act). (j) The Company will use the net proceeds from the sale of the Units in the manner set forth in the Prospectus under the caption "Use of Proceeds." (k) Other than as permitted by the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations and the laws of any state in which the Units are qualified for sale, the Company will not distribute any Prospectus, offering circular or other offering material in connection with the offer and sale of Units. (l) The Company will make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable, but not later than 90 days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earning statement (in form complying with the provisions of Rule 158 of the regulations promulgated under the 1933 Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company's fiscal quarter next following the effective date (as defined in such Rule 158) of the Registration Statement. (m) The Company will file, if required, with the Commission such reports on Form SR as may be required pursuant to Rule 463 under the 1933 Act. (n) The Company will register the Units under Section 12(g) of the 1934 Act prior to execution of the Public Offering Acknowledgment and will not deregister the Units for a period of at least three years thereafter, unless such registration is no longer required. (o) The Company will take such actions and furnish such information as are reasonably requested by the Agent in order for the Agent to ensure compliance with the "Interpretation With Respect to Free Riding and Withholding" of NASD-R. (p) Prior to each Closing, the Company will conduct its business in compliance in all material respects with all applicable federal and state laws, rules, regulations, decisions, directives and orders including, without limitation, all decisions, directives and orders of the NFA, the CFTC and NASD-R. (q) The Company will not, prior to each Closing, incur any liability or obligation, direct or contingent, or enter into any material transactions, other than in the ordinary course of business, except as contemplated by the Prospectus. 13 (r) The representations and warranties made in this Agreement will be true and correct as of the date hereof and as of each Closing. SECTION 6. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES The Company agrees to pay or cause to be paid and reimburse the party making payment for all expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the following: (i) the fees and disbursements of the Company's counsel, accountants and other advisors; (ii) the qualification of the Units under all applicable securities or Blue Sky laws, including filing fees and the fees and disbursements of counsel in connection therewith and in connection with the preparation of a Blue Sky memorandum; (iii) the printing and delivery to the Agent in such quantities as the Agent reasonably request of copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented and all other documents in connection with this Agreement; (iv) filing fees incurred in connection with the review of the Offering by the Commission, CFTC and by NASD-R. SECTION 7. INDEMNIFICATION (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and any Additional Selling Agent, its respective officers, directors, agents, servants and employees and each person, if any, who controls the Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20(a) of the 1934 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense whatsoever (including but not limited to settlement expenses), joint or several, that any indemnified party may suffer or to which any indemnified party may become subject under all applicable federal and state laws or otherwise, and to promptly reimburse any indemnified party upon written demand for any expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any actions, proceedings or claims (whether commenced or threatened) to the extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions: (i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (a) the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), (b) any application or other instrument or document of the Company or based upon written information supplied by the Company or their representatives filed in any state or jurisdiction to register or qualify any or all of the Units under the securities laws thereof (collectively, the "Blue Sky Application"), or (c) any application or other document, advertisement, oral statement, or communication ("Sales Information") prepared, made or executed by or, with its consent, on behalf of the Company, or based upon 14 written or oral information furnished by, or with its consent, on behalf of the Company, in connection with or in contemplation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any of the foregoing documents or information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (iii) arise from any theory of liability whatsoever relating to or arising from or based upon the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), preliminary or final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), Blue Sky Application or Sales Information or other documentation distributed in connection with the Offering; provided, however, that no indemnification is required under this paragraph (a) to the extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statements or alleged untrue statements in, or material omission or alleged material omission from, the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), Prospectus or Sales Information made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by the Agent regarding QAM expressly for use in the Prospectus, which information consists of the disclosure included in the Prospectus contained in the first paragraph under the caption "TERMS OF THE OFFERING - General." (b) The Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents, servants and employees, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20(a) of the 1934 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense whatsoever (including but not limited to settlement expenses), joint or several, that the Company or any of them may suffer or to which the Company or any of them may become subject under all applicable federal and state laws or otherwise, and to promptly reimburse the Company and any such persons upon written demand for any expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Company or any of them in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any actions, proceedings or claims (whether commenced or threatened) to the extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Sales Information, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any of the foregoing documents a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that your obligations under this Section 7(b) will exist only if, and only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement was made in, or such material fact or alleged material fact was omitted from the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the Sales Information 15 in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by the Agent regarding Atrium Securities expressly for use in the Prospectus, which information consists of the disclosure included in the Prospectus contained in the first paragraph under the caption "TERMS OF THE OFFERING - General." (c) Each indemnified party must give prompt written notice to each indemnifying party of any action, proceeding, claim (whether commenced or threatened), or suit instituted against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder. No indemnification will be available to any party who fails to give notice as provided in this Section 7(c) if the party to whom notice was not given was unaware of the proceeding to which such notice would have related and was prejudiced by the failure to give such notice, but otherwise the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party under this Section 7. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of such action. In addition, if it so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, an indemnifying party, jointly with any other indemnifying parties receiving such notice, may assume the defense of such action with counsel chosen by it and approved by the indemnified parties that are defendants in such action, and such indemnified parties will not be liable for any fees and expenses of such counsel for the indemnified parties incurred thereafter in connection with such action, proceeding or claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any action, proceeding or claim, the indemnified party will have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and disbursements of such counsel will be at its own expense unless (i) the parties to any such action, proceeding or claim include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and (ii) representation of both parties by the same counsel reasonably would be deemed inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting interests between them. In no event will the indemnifying parties be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (other than any special counsel that said firm may retain) for each indemnified party in connection with any one action, proceeding or claim or separate but similar or related actions, proceedings or claims in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. SECTION 8. CONTRIBUTION In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 7 is due in accordance with its terms but is for any reason held by a court to be unavailable from the Company or the Agent, the Company or the Agent will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including any investigation, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claims asserted, but after deducting any contribution received by the Company or the Agent from persons other than the 16 other party thereto, who may also be liable for contribution) to the party entitled to indemnification in such proportion so that the Agent is responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the fees paid to the Agent pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement (not including expenses) bears to the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Units in the Offering and the Company will be responsible for the balance. If, however, the allocation provided above is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party will contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Agent on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damage or liabilities (or actions, proceedings or claims in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agent on the other will be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total gross proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bears to the total fees (not including expenses) received by the Agent. The relative fault will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or other omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Agent on the other and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 8. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions, proceedings or claims in respect thereof referred to above in this Section 8 will be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action, proceeding or claim. It is expressly agreed that the Agent will not be liable for any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense or be required to contribute any amount which in the aggregate exceeds the amount paid to the Agent under the Agreement. It is understood that the above-stated limitation on the Agent's liability is essential to the Agent and that the Agent would not have entered into this Agreement if such limitation had not been agreed to by the parties to this Agreement. No person found guilty of any fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 (f) of the 1933 Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not also found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Company and the Agent under this Section 8 and under Section 7 hereof will be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Agent may otherwise have. For purposes of this Section 8, each of the Agent's officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Agent within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act will have the same rights to contribution as each officer and director of the Company and 17 each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, and each officer and director of the Agent or the Company, will have the same rights to contribution as the Agent or the Company, respectively. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit, claim or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party under this Section 8, will notify such party from whom contribution may be sought. No person will be entitled to contribution hereunder who fails to give notice as provided in this Section 8 if the party to whom notice was not given was unaware of the proceeding to which such notice would have related and was prejudiced by the failure to give such notice, but otherwise the omission so to notify the party from whom contribution is sought will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to a party seeking contribution under this Section 8. SECTION 9. TERMINATION (a) In the event the Company elects not to accept any subscriptions for Units in the Offering, this Agreement will terminate upon refund by the Company to each person who has ordered any of the Units the full amount which it may have received from such persons and no party to this Agreement will have any obligation to the other hereunder, except for the Company's obligations under Sections 1, 6, 7 and 8 hereof. (b) In the event that at least 1,000 Units are not sold by the end of the Initial Offering Period, this Agreement will terminate and any such termination will be without liability of any party to any other party except as otherwise provided in Sections 1, 6, 7 and 8 hereof. SECTION 10. SURVIVAL The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Agent, as set forth in this Agreement, will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of the Agent or any of its officers or directors or any person controlling the Agent, or the Company or any officer, director or person controlling the Company, and will survive termination of the Agreement and the receipt or delivery of any payment for the Units. SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS Notices hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein, must be given in writing or by telegraph, addressed (a) to the Agent at 180 North LaSalle Street, Suite #2416, Chicago, Illinois 60601 (Attention: President) with a copy and (b) to the Company at Le Marquis Complex, Unit 5, P.O. Box 1479, Grand Anse, St. 18 George's, Grenada, West Indies (Attention: President), with a copy (which will not constitute notice) to Henderson & Lyman, 175 West Jackson Blvd., Suite 240, Chicago, Illinois 60604 (Attention: Douglas E. Arend, Esq.). This Agreement is made solely for the benefit of and will be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the controlling persons, directors and officers referred to in Section 7 hereof and no other person will have any right or obligations hereunder. The term "successor" does not include any purchaser of any of the Units. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois. This Agreement may be signed in various counterparts which together will constitute one agreement. If the foregoing correctly sets forth the arrangement among the Company and the Agent, please indicate acceptance thereof in the space provided below for that purpose, whereupon this letter and your acceptance will constitute a binding agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8, QCM (i) shall have no obligation to indemnify the Additional Selling Agent for more than the amount of proceeds resulting from the sale of Units by the Additional Selling Agent during the Continuing Offering Period plus the Additional Selling Agent's actual expenses incurred in connection with any loss, claim, damage, charge or liability (including reasonable attorneys' and accountants' fees incurred in defense thereof) and (ii) any obligation of QCM to indemnify the Additional Selling Agent shall be adjusted to reflect the relative responsibility of the Additional Selling Agent (if any) for the circumstances giving rise to the losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, liabilities or actions for which indemnification is sought. 8.4 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, indemnification of QCM or its controlling persons by the Partnership shall be permitted only to the extent permitted by the Agreement of Limited Partnership, as amended. 8.5 Any party which proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section 8 will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnified party under this Section 8, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding but the omission to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 8 except to the extent, and only to the extent, that such omission was prejudicial to the indemnifying party. In no event shall any such omission relieve an indemnifying party of any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8. In case any such action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any 8 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. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ its 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 questions), (ii) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict 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. In the case of (ii) above, the indemnifying party (or the indemnifying parties, if an indemnified party shall have a claim for indemnification against more than one indemnifying party) shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel for each of the following groups: (x) the Additional Selling Agent and any person who controls the Additional Selling Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and (y) the Partnership and QCM and any person who controls the Partnership and within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act. 9. MISCELLANEOUS 9.1 This Agreement embodies the entire understanding between the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and no modification or amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall 9 be effective unless the same shall be reduced to writing and signed by the parties hereto. 9.2 The illegality, invalidity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement under the law of any jurisdiction shall not affect its legality, validity or enforceability under the law of any other jurisdiction nor the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision 9.3 In case that single terms of this Agreement are or become inoperative or impracticable, the rest of this Agreement shall remain unaffected thereby.

In consideration of the Additional Selling Agent soliciting and obtaining purchasers of the Units, QAM shall pay the Additional Selling Agent a selling commission as specified below subject to the possibility of a payment of additional selling commissions as described herein. In consideration of the provision by the Additional Selling Agent of the additional services specified below in the next succeeding paragraph, QAM will pay to the Additional Selling Agent (provided it represents that it is registered with the CFTC as a futures commission merchant or introducing broker and is a member in good standing of the NFA in such capacity) ongoing payments serviced by the Additional Selling Agent. Such ongoing compensation shall commence at the beginning of the thirteenth full month after the sale of the Units. The Additional Selling Agent may pay such compensation to its registered representatives who are registered as associated persons with the CFTC and have passed the National Commodity Futures Examination (Series 3) or the Futures Managed Funds 12 Examination (Series 31). If any such registered representative shall transfer employment to another CFTC/NFA registered firm, and the limited partners to which he sold shall also become clients of the transferee firm, the Additional Selling Agent agrees to transfer its ongoing compensation to the transferee firm. The ongoing compensation specified above shall be in consideration of and is contingent upon the provision by the Additional Selling Agent or its affiliates of additional services in connection with the Units sold by the Additional Selling Agent, including: (w) inquiring of QCM from time to time, at the request of an owner of Units sold by it, as to the Net Asset Value of a Unit; (x) inquiring of QCM from time to time, at the request of an owner of Units sold be it, regarding the commodities markets and the Partnership; (y) assisting, at the request of QCM, in the redemption of Units sold by it; and (z) providing such other services to the owners of the Units sold by it as QCM may, from time to time, reasonably request. The Additional Selling Agent also will use its best efforts to insure that any of its registered representatives to whom compensation is passed on will cooperate in providing the services specified in clauses (w) through (z) above for as long as such representative continues in the employment of the Additional Selling Agent. The Additional Selling Agent shall forfeit its rights hereunder to receive any ongoing compensation relating to the additional services for the entirety of any month during which it is not duly registered with the CFTC as a futures commission merchant or introducing broker and a member in good standing of NFA. Additional Selling Agents and registered representatives who are not registered with the CFTC as described above may receive additional selling commissions from QAM, paid on the same basis as the ongoing payments, provided that the total of such additional selling commissions plus the initial selling commission and per Unit organization and offering costs properly deemed to constitute costs allocable to the Additional Selling Agents, such as a selling brochure, seminar costs and travel expenses do not exceed 10% of such Units' initial sale price. Any such ongoing payments or additional selling commission will be paid by QAM and not by the Company, but may be deemed to constitute underwriting compensation. If any such registered representative shall transfer employment to another NASD registered firm, and the limited partners to which he sold shall also become clients of the transferee firm, the Additional Selling Agent agrees to transfer its ongoing compensation to the transferee firm. 13 1.1 The Company will pay to the Additional Selling Agent a sales commission according to the appropriate Matrix below, based on the net asset value at the end of the immediately preceding month of Units which the Additional Selling Agent is credited as having sold (without regard to such net asset value for any prior period): 1.1.a Standard Compensation Matrix: 1.1.b Alternate Compensation Matrix: Upon termination of the Additional Selling Agent Agreement pursuant to the terms of Section 7.2 thereof, the following matrix supersedes the provisions of 1.1.a hereof.

Box 1479 Grand Anse, St. George's Grenada, West Indies RE: RE: QUADRIGA SUPERFUND, L.P. SERIES A AND SERIES B UNITS OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST Ladies and Gentlemen: We refer to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the "Registration Statement"), filed on the date hereof by Quadriga Superfund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership"), under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission, relating to the registration under the 1933 Act of $200,000,000 of Units of Limited Partnership Interest (the "Units"). For purposes of expressing the opinions hereinafter set forth, our examination of documents has been limited to the examination of executed or conformed counterparts, or copies otherwise proved to our satisfaction, of the following: (a) The Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership, dated April 17, 2002 (the "Certificate of Partnership"), as filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the "Secretary of State"); (b) The Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership, dated as of August 5, 2002, attached to the Registration Statement as Exhibit "A"; (c) The Registration Statement; (d) A form of Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney, including a Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney Signature Page of the Partnership (the "Subscription Agreement"), attached to the Registration Statement as Exhibit "D"; and (f) A Certificate of Good Standing for the Partnership ("Certificate") obtained from the Delaware Secretary of State. Initially capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined are used as defined in the Registration Statement. For purposes of this opinion, we have not reviewed any documents other than the documents listed above, and we have assumed that there exists no provision in any document not listed above that bears upon or is inconsistent with the opinions stated herein. We have conducted no independent factual investigation of our own, but rather have relied solely upon the foregoing documents, the statements and information set forth therein and the additional matters recited or assumed herein, all of which we have assumed to be true, complete and accurate in all material respects. With respect to all documents examined by us, we have assumed that (i) all signatures of parties except for the Partnership on documents examined by us are genuine, and (ii) all documents submitted to us as copies conform to the original copies of those documents. For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed (i) the due authorization, execution and delivery by all parties thereto of all documents examined by us, (ii) that after the issuance and sale of Units in the Partnership under the Registration Statement and the Agreement, the dollar amount of the Units issued by the Partnership will equal or exceed the minimum, and the dollar amount of the Units issued and reserved for issuance by the Partnership will not exceed the maximum, dollar amount of the Units which may be issued by the Partnership under the Registration Statement and the Agreement, (iii) that the Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter thereof, including with respect to the admission of beneficial owners to, and the creation, operation and termination of, the Partnership and that the Agreement and the Certificate are in full force and effect, have not been amended and no amendment of the Agreement or the Certificate is pending or has been proposed, and (iv) except for the due creation and valid existence in good standing of the Partnership as a business Partnership under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (6 Del. Code Section 17-101, et seq.) (the "Act"), the due creation, organization or formation, as the case may be, and valid existence in good standing of each party to the documents examined by us under the laws of the jurisdiction governing its creation, organization or formation and the capacity of persons and entities who are parties to the documents examined by us. Insofar as the opinions expressed herein relate to the Units and persons and entities to be admitted to the Partnership as beneficial owners of the Partnership in connection with the Registration Statement (the "Unitholders"), the opinions expressed herein relate solely to the Unitholders and the Units to be issued in connection with the Registration Statement. Based upon the foregoing, and upon our examination of such questions of law and statutes as we have considered necessary or appropriate, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that: 1. The Partnership has been duly created and is validly existing in good standing as a limited partnership under the Act. 2. Assuming (i) the due authorization, execution and delivery to the General Partner of a Subscription Agreement by each Unitholder, (ii) the due acceptance by the General Partner of each Subscription Agreement and the due acceptance by the General Partner of the admission of the Unitholders as beneficial owners of the Partnership to the Partnership, (iii) the payment by each Unitholder to the Partnership of the full consideration due from it for the Units subscribed to by it, (iv) that the books and records of the Partnership set forth all information required by the Agreement and the Act, including all information with respect to all persons and entities to be admitted as Unitholders and their contributions to the Partnership, and (v) that the Units are offered and sold as described in the Registration Statement and the Agreement, the Units to be issued to the Unitholders will be validly issued and, subject to the qualifications set forth herein, will be fully paid and nonassessable beneficial interests in the Partnership, as to which the Unitholders, as beneficial owners of the Partnership, will be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit, subject to the obligation of a Unitholder to make contributions required to be made by it to the Partnership, to make other payments provided for in the Agreement and to repay any funds wrongfully distributed to it from the Partnership. We do not find it necessary for the purposes of this opinion to cover, and accordingly we express no opinion as to, the application of the securities or blue sky laws of the various states (including the state of Delaware) to the sale of the Units. This opinion speaks as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update this opinion as of any future date. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the Registration Statement and to all references to our firm included in or made a part of the Registration Statement. This opinion shall not be used by any other person for any purpose without our written consent.

(the "Partnership"), a limited Partnership organized under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. We have reviewed such data, documents, questions of law and fact and other matters as we have deemed pertinent for the purpose of this opinion. Based upon the foregoing, we hereby confirm our opinion expressed under the caption "Federal Income Tax Aspects" in the Prospectus (the "Prospectus") constituting a part of the Registration Statement that the Partnership will be taxed as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. We also advise you that in our opinion, the description set forth under the caption " Federal Income Tax Aspects" in the Prospectus correctly describes (subject to the uncertainties referred to therein) the material considerations of the federal income tax treatment to a United States individual taxpayer, as of the date hereof, of an investment in the Partnership. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the Registration Statement and all references to our firm included in or made a part of the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

To secure any indebtedness or other obligation owed by the Customer to CIS, CIS is hereby granted a lien on all of the Customer's property at any time held by CIS. 3. TRANSFER OF FUNDS.

In the event that at any time the Customer has an account in futures or options which comes under the regulation of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") and also an account in non-CFTC regulated futures or options, the Customer hereby authorizes CIS, without prior notice to the Customer to transfer from the Customer's regulated Futures Account to its non-regulated account such amount of excess funds as in CIS' judgment may be reasonably required to avoid the calling of margins for such other account. 4.

The Customer shall at all times be liable to CIS for the payment of any debit balance owing in the accounts of the Customer with CIS, and shall be liable for any deficiency remaining in any such account in the event of the liquidation thereof in whole or in part, and shall be liable for any reasonable costs of collection including attorney's fees.

Customer agrees to indemnify and hold CIS harmless, for any actions or omissions of such introducing broker or executing broker. 12. LIMITATION OF ACTIONS. Any action against CIS must be instituted within two years of the action/or inaction giving rise to the alleged claim. 13. BINDING EFFECT. This agreement shall be irrevocable as long as the Customer shall have any account with CIS; it shall be binding upon the Customer and upon the Customer's administrators, and assigns; it can be amended only in writing duly signed by the Customer and an officer of CIS. 14. CUSTOMER REPRESENTATION. Customer represents and warrants that Customer is under no legal disability which would prevent it from trading in futures or entering into this Agreement and that all information contained in the New Account Customer Fact Sheet is true, complete, and correct as of the date hereof.

EX-10.01(B) 9 c66226a6exv10w01xby.txt FORM OF ADM CUSTOMER AGREEMENT EXHIBIT NO. 10.01(b) ADM Investor Services, Inc. CUSTOMER AGREEMENT To: ADM Investor Services, Inc. 141 West Jackson Blvd. Chicago, IL 60604 Gentlemen: In consideration of the acceptance by ADM Investor Services, Inc. ("ADMIS") acting as broker, of one or more accounts of the undersigned ("Customer") for the purchase or sale of commodity futures, commodity options, forward contracts, foreign exchange, physical or cash commodities, and exchange for physical ("EFP") transactions (Collectively "contracts") it is agreed as follows: 1. Customer acknowledges the following: (a) The purchase and sale of commodity futures contracts, exchange-traded and dealer options (commodity options) is speculative, involves a high degree of risk and is suitable only for persons who can assume the risk of loss in excess of their margin deposits or of the entire option cost. Customer understands that because of the low margin normally required in commodity futures trading, price changes in commodity futures contracts may result in significant Customer losses, which losses may substantially exceed Customer's margin deposits and any other deposits he may make. Customer also acknowledges that he has received, has read and understands this agreement. (b) Customer authorizes ADMIS to execute such transactions for the Customer's account and exercise commodity options for Customer's account in accordance with Customer's oral or written instructions. ADMIS shall have the right to refuse to accept any orders. ADMIS shall also have the right to tape record all telephone conversations with customer. (c) Customer understands that ADMIS or its affiliates will at times act as principal in regard to cash, forward, or foreign exchange transactions. (d) ADMIS shall not be responsible to Customer in any case for a floor brokers' liability to execute orders, or for error or negligence on the part of floor brokers who are not employees of ADMIS. Furthermore, ADMIS is not obligated to quote a price for any principal transaction. (e) The Customer acknowledges that the execution of a futures contract always anticipates making or accepting delivery. Customer hereby authorizes ADMIS to take all action deemed necessary by ADMIS in the event ADMIS takes physical delivery for customer and customer hereby agrees to indemnity ADMIS from all costs associated therewith, ADMIS may, in its sole discretion, liquidate any short position in Customer's account if Customer has not delivered to ADMIS certificates, receipts, or other appropriate instruments of delivery at least seven days prior to the last trading day of the futures contract. (f) Customer acknowledges the right of ADMIS to limit, without notice to Customer, the number of open positions which Customer may maintain or acquire through ADMIS. 2. Customer shall deposit with ADMIS (1) the applicable initial and maintenance requirements; pay interest, commission charges in effect from time to time, (which commissions may be shared by more than one of customers agents) and other costs to ADMIS occasioned by carrying the account of the customers; (2) deposit the amount of any deficit balance that may result from transactions executed by ADMIS for Customer's account, and (3) pay the interest and service charges on any Customer deficit balances at the rates customarily charged by ADMIS together with ADMIS's cost and attorney's fees incurred in collecting any such deficit or defending claims brought by Customer in which ADMIS is the prevailing party. 3. Customer understands and acknowledges that ADMIS, acts as agent for all transactions which are executed on commodity futures exchanges and among other requirements, is financially liable to the exchange clearing houses of which it is a member and to the clearing members through which it clears transactions on exchanges of which it is not a clearing member, for deficit balances occurring in the Customer's accounts; because of this, ADMIS is the guarantor of the financial responsibility of the Customer. Therefore, Customer agrees to hold ADMIS harmless with respect to any and all losses sustained by ADMIS resulting from deficit balances which may occur in the Customer's account. 4. Customer shall, without notice or demand from ADMIS, at all times, maintain adequate margins, so as continually to meet the margin requirements established by ADMIS. Such margin requirements established by ADMIS, in its sole and absolute discretion, may exceed the margin requirements set by any commodity exchange, or other regulatory authority. Customer agrees, when required, to wire transfer margins to ADMIS or any monies so required, and to furnish ADMIS with names of bank officers for immediate verification of such transfers. 5. If, at any time, Customer's account does not contain the amount of margin required by ADMIS, or by any exchange, clearing house or other regulatory authority, ADMIS may, at its sole and absolute discretion, at any time or from time to time, without notice to Customer, close out Customer's open positions in whole or in part or take any other action it deems necessary to satisfy such requirements, including, but not necessarily limited to, transferring funds from other accounts of customer including transfers between CFTC Segregated and other accounts. Failure of ADMIS to so act in such circumstance, in whole or in part, shall not constitute a waiver of its rights so to do any time or from time to time thereafter, nor shall ADMIS be subject to any liability to Customer for its failure so to act. In addition, ADMIS has the right, but not the obligation, to liquidate the account(s) upon receipt of notice of the death of customer (if applicable). 6. All monies, securities negotiable instruments, forward contracts, foreign exchange contracts, physical or cash contracts, commodity options, open position in futures contracts and commodities, or other property now or at any future time in Customer's account, or held by ADMIS or its affiliates for Customer, are hereby pledged with ADMIS, and shall be subject to a security interest in ADMIS's favor to secure any indebtedness, at any time, owing from Customer to ADMIS without regard to whether or not ADMIS or its affiliates has made advances with respect to such property. Customer will not cause or allow any of the property held in his accounts to be subject to any other liens, security interests, mortgages or other encumbrances without the express written approval of ADMIS. 7. Customer understands that obligations arising out of transactions denominated and/or paid for in currencies other than U.S. Dollars may be converted to U.S. Dollars at the discretion of ADMIS at an exchange rate determined by ADMIS at its discretion based on prevailing market rates and customer will be required to pay ADMIS in U.S. Dollars. 8. Customer acknowledges that: (1) any market recommendations and information communicated to Customer by ADMIS do not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy any commodity, or any commodity futures contract; (2) such recommendations and information, although based upon information obtained from sources believed by ADMIS to be reliable, may be incomplete and may not be verified; and (3) ADMIS makes no representation, warranty or guarantee as to, and shall be responsible for, the accuracy or completeness of any information or trading recommendation furnished to Customer. Customer understands that ADMIS and/or its officers, directors, affiliates, stockholders or representatives may have a position or positions in and may intend to buy or sell commodities or commodity futures contracts, which are the subject 7 (continued on next page) of market recommendations furnished to Customer, and that the position or positions of ADMIS or any such officer, director, affiliate, stockholder, or representative may or may not be consistent with the recommendations furnished to Customer by ADMIS. 9. All transactions by ADMIS on Customer's behalf shall be subject to the applicable constitution, rules, regulations, customs, usages, rulings, and interpretations of the exchanges or markets on which such transactions are executed by ADMIS or its agents for Customer's account (such as the Board of Trade of the City of Chicago, The Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and the MidAmerica Commodity Exchange and the clearing houses affiliated with each, if any) and to all applicable governmental acts and statutes (such as the Commodity Exchange Act of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission Act of 1974) and to rules and regulations made thereunder; ADMIS shall not be liable to Customer as a result of any action taken by ADMIS, or its agents, to comply with any such constitution, rule, regulation, custom, usage, ruling, interpretation, act or statue. If Customer is subject to regulation, Customer agrees that ADMIS has no duty to ascertain or ensure that Customer is in compliance with any governing statutes or rules. 10. If, at any time, Customer shall be unable to deliver to ADMIS any security, commodity or other property previously bought or sold by ADMIS on Customer's behalf, Customer authorizes ADMIS, in its discretion, to borrow or to buy any security, commodity, or other property necessary to make delivery thereof, and Customer shall pay and indemnify ADMIS for any cost, loss, and damage (including consequential costs, losses and damages) which ADM may sustain thereby and any premiums which ADMIS may be required to pay thereon, and for any cost, loss and damage (including consequential costs, losses, and damages) which ADMIS may sustain thereby and any premiums which ADMIS may be required to pay thereon, and for any cost, loss and damage (including consequential costs, losses and damages) which ADMIS may sustain from its inability to borrow or buy any such security, commodity or other property. 11. Customer acknowledges and agrees that ADMIS shall not be responsible to Customer for any losses resulting from conduct or advice (including but not limited to errors and negligence) on the part of any broker/dealer, futures commission merchant, introducing broker, commodity trading advisor, or any other person or entity introducing Customer to ADMIS or having trading authority over the account of Customer at ADMIS. Customer specifically agrees that ADMIS shall have no obligation to supervise the activities of any such person or entity and Customer will indemnify ADMIS and hold ADMIS harmless from and against all losses, liabilities, and damages (including attorney's fees) incurred by ADMIS as a result of any actions taken or not taken by such person or entity. 12. Customer authorizes ADMIS to contact such banks, financial institutions, credit agencies, and other references as ADMIS shall deem appropriate from time to time verify the information regarding Customer which may be provided by Customer. Customer understands that an investigation may be made pertaining to his personal and business credit standing and that Customer may make a written request within a reasonable period of time for complete and accurate disclosure of its nature and scope. 13. ADMIS shall not be responsible for delays in the execution of orders due to breakdown, or failure of transmission, or communication facilities, or to any other cause beyond ADMIS's control. 14. Confirmation of trades, contracts statements of account, margin calls, and any other notices sent by ADMIS to Customer shall be sent to the address shown in and to the attention of the person(s) named in the "Commodity Agreement" and they shall be conclusively deemed accurate and complete, if not objected to, in writing, prior to the opening of trading on the contract market on which such transaction occurred on the next business day following the day on which such communication was first received.

Customer will hold harmless and indemnify FIMAT for all liabilities, penalties, losses, and expenses, including any legal expenses and any penalty imposed by any Commodity Exchange, FIMAT incurs or reasonably anticipates incurring if Customer fails timely (1) to take good delivery of any item FIMAT has purchased at Customer's direction, (2) to supply FIMAT with or otherwise make good delivery of any item FIMAT has sold at Customer's direction, or otherwise, in connection with a delivery, or (3) to comply with Applicable Law, and FIMAT may in the event of any such failure, apparent failure, or otherwise withhold from Customer's Account(s) with FIMAT or any Affiliates the amount (however denominated) estimated by FIMAT as sufficient to satisfy the above indemnity, for application as FIMAT deems appropriate. L. FORWARDING AND STORAGE OF MATERIAL. If FIMAT on Customer's behalf arranges for packaging, shipping storage, or insurance, FIMAT's only liability will be for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the making of the arrangements. M. REIMBURSEMENT FOR TAXES, ETC. Customer will indemnify FIMAT for all taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges and fees (including legal expenses) incurred in connection with any sale, purchase, forwarding or storage. N. PAYMENT. Customer's payments must be in freely transferable and immediately available funds to FIMAT account at a bank designated by FIMAT and without deduction for any taxes, imposts, duties, charges, or fees, free and clear of any withholding, restrictions, or conditions of any nature when received by FIMAT. Payment may not be effected by the delivery of bank notes or other legal tender unless Agreed by FIMAT. FIMAT may withhold any delivery until it receives payment in the foregoing manner. O. CLOSEOUT. Whenever FIMAT in its sole discretion, considers it necessary for Customer's protection or FIMAT's protection, FIMAT may, but is not obligated to, refuse to accept new positions and/or close out otherwise liquidate Customer's positions, and Customer will be liable for any deficiency in Customer's Account that may result therefrom. P. OPTIONS EXERCISE. Customer agrees that if Customer has a commodity option position with FIMAT and does provide timely instructions regarding the exercise of a commodity option on the last day of trading in that option. FIMAT, in its sole discretion and without prior notice to Customer, is authorized to exercise or abandon (i.e. let expire) the option. Customer further agrees that any exercise or abandonment of an option by FIMAT pursuant to this Agreement shall be for Customer's sole account and risk and FIMAT shall have no liability with respect thereto, and FIMAT shall have no duty to exercise such authority. Customer further agrees that, without FIMAT's written consent, Customer may not, on any day, exercise more than 20 options contracts with FIMAT unless Customer has margin with FIMAT in excess of the amount of margin FIMAT requires for the futures contract Customer would be assigned as a result of such exercise. Customer acknowledges that FIMAT's confirmation of purchase and sale statements will reflect option expiration dates that FIMAT obtains from sources generally believed to be reliable, and FIMAT will be responsible only for gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud in connection therewith. If Customer holds options with a Friday expiration date, it is possible that, if a grantor, Customer could be assigned a futures position after the expiration of the option on Friday, and on some exchanges, as late as Saturday morning. Q. ADJUSTMENTS. On rare occasion FIMAT may, in error, not fill Customer's order or fill Customer's order at a price which is less favorable than the price which could have been obtained if the error had not occurred. In these circumstances, FIMAT will give Customer the filled order and cash adjust Customer's Account(s) so as to restore the price at which the order could have been executed had the error not occurred. Customer agrees however that when correcting its error, FIMAT obtains a position at a better price than Customer's order could have been filled at, Customer will only receive the fill Customer could have obtained if Customer's orders had been executed without error (and FIMAT will receive any difference). R. EXCHANGE OF PHYSICAL FOR FUTURES TRANSACTION. Customer agrees to create, retain, and produce, upon request a Commodity Exchange, the CFTC, or the United States Department of Justice, documentation of cash transaction -11- underlying exchanges of futures for cash commodities or exchanges of futures in connection with cash commodities transactions in accordance with Applicable Law. Documentation means those documents customarily generated in accordance with cash market practices and/or required by the relevant Commodity Exchange or regulatory authority which demonstrate the existence and nature of the underlying cash transactions, including, but not limited to, contracts, confirmation statements, telex printouts, invoices, and warehouse receipts or other documents of title. S. DIRECT ORDER TRANSMITTAL CLIENT DISCLOSURE. On occasion, when FIMAT's offices are closed, Customer may request that FIMAT grant it authority to place orders directly with one or more of FIMAT's non-U.S. Affiliates for execution on non-U.S. exchanges, or for transactions on U.S. exchanges to be executed on GLOBEX, NYMEX ACCESS or other electronic trading systems.

FIMAT'S RIGHTS RESPECTING COLLATERAL. Customer will sign and deliver all agreements, instruments, certificates and documents FIMAT requests to create, perfect, preserve and protect the security interest in any of the Collateral, accompanied by such instruments of assignment and transfer and in such form as FIMAT should reasonably request. Customer appoints FIMAT as Customer's agent to sign, deliver, complete and file any such agreements, instruments, certificates and documents on Customer's behalf. FIMAT has no obligation to return the identical item of Collateral, but only to replace the item with property of like kind and substantially similar quantity, subject to adjustment for quantity variations at then prevailing market prices. FIMAT may, at any time and without limitations except those imposed by law, pledge, re-pledge, hypothecate, loan or invest any Collateral without notice to Customer or the obligation to account to Customer for any interest, income, or other benefit from any of the Collateral. Customer agrees to permit FIMAT and/or its agents and representatives at any time to inspect any of the Collateral and make abstracts or copies from any of Customer's books and records pertaining to the Collateral. The right is expressly granted to FIMAT, in its sole discretion, to notify warehousemen, consignees, bailees or any other persons in possession of Collateral of FIMAT's security interest therein. Unless Agreed by FIMAT, the undersigned will not file or authorize or permit to be filed in any jurisdiction any such financing or like statement in which FIMAT is not named as the sole secured party. Upon the request of FIMAT Customer shall, at Customer's expense, keep insured all Collateral which is tangible property for full value, with such coverage as FIMAT may approve, and the policies shall be duly endorsed in FIMAT's favor and delivered to FIMAT.

Customer appoints FIMAT as Customer's agent to sign, complete, and deliver any and all documents necessary or desirable to carry out the foregoing. None of FIMAT nor any of its Affiliates, nor any of its agents or representatives will be responsible for losses or lost profits, accrued or anticipated, resulting from any position or transaction entered to enforce the foregoing remedies.

MISCELLANEOUS A. GOVERNING LAW AND SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. All disputes between FIMAT and Customer including, but not limited to, disputes arising directly or indirectly as a result of, or the relationship established as a result of, this Agreement, shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of choice of law. Notwithstanding any provision of Applicable Law, Customer agrees to commence all actions of any kind against FIMAT within one year of the event giving rise to any dispute. Customer irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of New York and of the Federal Courts of the Southern District of New York with respect to litigation relating to all such disputes, including, but not limited to, disputes arising directly or indirectly as a result of or the relationship established as a result of this Agreement and transactions subject to this Agreement, agrees to commence actions and proceedings and assert claims for relief involving them only in such courts (unless Customer has otherwise agreed to arbitrate all disputes against FIMAT, in which case such arbitration shall be held only in New York City), and consents to service of process by the mailing of copies to Customer by certified mail to Customer's address as it appears on the books of FIMAT.

CUSTOMER'S WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY IS A PREREQUISITE TO, AND INDUCEMENT OF FIMAT TO OFFER, THE OPENING OF CUSTOMER'S ACCOUNT(S). C. APPLICABLE LAW AND NOTES FOR GERMAN CLIENTS. Contrary to German Law, the substantive law of New York does not distinguish between binding and non-binding terminal (futures) transactions (see paragraph 53 of the German Borsengesetz). All trades under this Agreement are therefore binding market transactions. Customer acknowledges that under German Law futures trading gives rise to an imperfect obligation (as provided in paragraphs 762 and 764 of the Burgerliches Gesetzbuch ("BGB") and paragraph 58 of the German Borsengesetz). Customer also acknowledges that under paragraph 814 of the BGB disclosure of this fact removes any and all rights Customer might otherwise have as a result of the "Differenzeinwand" (paragraph 812 of the BGB). Customer credit balance held by FIMAT will be applied to fulfill, discharge and perform the transaction(s) and as an advance performance or down payment to cover any transaction(s) trading costs. D. Force Majeure; Warranty and Disclaimer of Warranties. FIMAT shall not be liable for any delay in performance or for non-performance of its obligations caused by any event beyond the reasonable control of FIMAT. FIMAT may, without liability, cancel this Agreement or any particular transaction contemplated hereunder if its performance is delayed or rendered impossible due to any such event. FIMAT's sole warranty is that any commodity delivered by it will conform to the description on any confirmation prepared and delivered by FIMAT with respect thereto. FIMAT EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. E. NON-WAIVER; NON-ASSIGNMENT; TIME OF THE ESSENCE. This Agreement and the Other Agreements, if any, constitute the entire Agreement between FIMAT and Customer with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all other understandings, agreements, or communications concerning such subject matter. Any oral representations, warranties, inducements, or agreements made by any representative of FIMAT inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement are excluded and will not bind FIMAT. FIMAT will be bound by waivers and modifications of any of the terms of this Agreement, any other written agreement, or any transaction, or any attempted assignment by Customer of any right or interest in this Agreement, any other agreement, or any transaction, only if Agreed by FIMAT (as defined). Such agreement will bind FIMAT only in relation to the waiver, modification, or assignment, to which FIMAT has consented in writing. Customer hereby waives the right to claim estoppel or forbearance unless Agreed by FIMAT. Any agreement by FIMAT to forbear liquidation, pursuant to any of its rights and remedies hereunder, may be revoked by FIMAT upon 24 hours notice to Customer (unless a shorter time is commercially reasonable under the circumstances), which notice Customer hereby deems reasonable. FIMAT's failure to exercise any right or remedy is not a waiver of the right or remedy not exercised or any other right or remedy. Time is of the essence in the performance of Customer's obligations. F. BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement covers all of Customer's Account(s) with FIMAT, is binding on Customer and Customer's estate, legal representatives, successors and assigns and inures to the benefit of FIMAT and its successors and assigns. -14- G.

Customer acknowledges that FIMAT may erase such recordings after a reasonable period of time. FIMAT shall be entitled to rely on any instructions, notices and communications, whether oral or in writing, that it believes to be that of an individual authorized to act on behalf of Customer as authorized to act on its behalf, and Customer shall be bound thereby. Customer hereby waives any defense that any such instruction was not in writing as may be required by the Statute of Frauds or any other similar law, rule or regulation. Customer will indemnify FIMAT and hold FIMAT harmless from and against all liabilities, penalties, losses, and expenses, including legal expenses, incurred by FIMAT as a result of FIMAT's acting upon such instructions. H. NON-EXECUTION. Any failure by Customer to duly sign this Agreement is not a waiver by FIMAT of any rights it otherwise has against Customer. I. FIMAT HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ADVICE. FIMAT is not acting as fiduciary, foundation manager, commodity pool operator, commodity trading advisor or investment adviser in respect of any Account(s) opened by Customer and FIMAT shall have no responsibility hereunder for compliance with any law or regulation governing the conduct of fiduciaries, foundation managers, commodity pool operators, commodity trading advisors or investment advisers.
