NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
(Unaudited)
A. General
These financial statements have been prepared without audit. In the opinion
of management, the financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of
only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position of Prudential-Bache Capital Return Futures Fund 3, L.P. (the
'Partnership') as of September 30, 1998 and the results of its operations for
the nine and three months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. However, the
operating results for the interim periods may not be indicative of the results
expected for a full year.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 1997.
Certain balances from the prior year have been reclassified to conform with
the current financial statement presentation.
During July 1998, Willowbridge Associates Inc. ('Willowbridge') ceased to
serve as a Trading Manager to the Partnership. All assets previously managed by
Willowbridge were allocated to Tamiso & Company ('Tamiso'), who began trading
Partnership assets on August 28, 1998. The monthly management fee paid to Tamiso
equals 1/6 of 1% (a 2% annual rate) of its traded assets as compared to 1/4 of
1% (a 3% annual rate) paid to Willowbridge. The quarterly incentive fee paid to
Tamiso equals 17% of the New High Net Trading Profits (as defined in the
Advisory Agreement among the Partnership, the General Partner and Tamiso) as
compared to 20% of the New High Net Trading Profits paid to Willowbridge.
B. Related Parties
Seaport Futures Management, Inc. (the 'General Partner') and its affiliates
perform services for the Partnership which include, but are not limited to:
brokerage services, accounting and financial management, registrar, transfer and
assignment functions, investor communications, printing and other administrative
services. The costs incurred for these services for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997 were:

The Partnership maintains its trading and cash accounts with Prudential
Securities Incorporated ('PSI'), the Partnership's commodity broker and an
affiliate of the General Partner. Except for the portion of assets that is
deposited as margin to maintain forward currency contract positions as further
discussed below, the Partnership's assets are maintained either with PSI or, for
margin purposes, with the various exchanges on which the Partnership is
permitted to trade.
4
<PAGE>
The Partnership acting through its trading managers, executes
over-the-counter, spot, forward and/or option foreign exchange transactions with
PSI. PSI then engages in back-to-back trading with an affiliate,
Prudential-Bache Global Markets Inc. ('PBGM'). PBGM attempts to earn a profit on
such transactions. PBGM keeps its prices on foreign currency competitive with
other interbank currency trading desks. All over-the-counter currency
transactions are conducted between PSI and the Partnership pursuant to a line of
credit. PSI may require that collateral be posted against the marked-to-market
position of the Partnership.
C. Credit and Market Risk
Since the Partnership's business is to trade futures, forward and options
contracts, its capital is at risk due to changes in the value of these contracts
(market risk) or the inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of
the contracts (credit risk).
Futures, forward and options contracts involve varying degrees of off-balance
sheet risk; and changes in the level of volatility of interest rates, foreign
currency exchange rates or the market values of the contracts (or commodities
underlying the contracts) frequently result in changes in the Partnership's
unrealized gain (loss) on open commodity positions reflected in the statements
of financial condition. The Partnership's exposure to market risk is influenced
by a number of factors including the relationships among the contracts held by
the Partnership as well as the liquidity of the markets in which the contracts
are traded.
Futures and options contracts are traded on organized exchanges and are thus
distinguished from forward contracts which are entered into privately by the
parties. The credit risks associated with futures and options contracts are
typically perceived to be less than those associated with forward contracts,
because exchanges typically provide clearinghouse arrangements in which the
collective credit (subject to certain limitations) of the members of the
exchanges is pledged to support the financial integrity of the exchange. On the
other hand, the Partnership must rely solely on the credit of its broker (PSI)
with respect to forward transactions. The Partnership presents unrealized gains
and losses on open forward positions as a net amount in the statements of
financial condition because it has a master netting agreement with PSI.
The General Partner attempts to minimize both credit and market risks by
requiring the Partnership's trading managers to abide by various trading
limitations and policies. The General Partner monitors compliance with these
trading limitations and policies which include, but are not limited to,
executing and clearing all trades with creditworthy counterparties (currently,
PSI is the sole counterparty or broker); limiting the amount of margin or
premium required for any one commodity or all commodities combined; and
generally limiting transactions to contracts which are traded in sufficient
volume to permit the taking and liquidating of positions. The General Partner
may impose additional restrictions (through modifications of such trading
limitations and policies) upon the trading activities of the trading managers as
it, in good faith, deems to be in the best interests of the Partnership.
PSI, when acting as the Partnership's futures commission merchant in
accepting orders for the purchase or sale of domestic futures and options
contracts, is required by Commodity Futures Trading Commission ('CFTC')
regulations to separately account for and segregate as belonging to the
Partnership all assets of the Partnership relating to domestic futures and
options trading and is not to commingle such assets with other assets of PSI. At
September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, such segregated assets totalled
$10,179,308 and $13,304,825, respectively. Part 30.7 of the CFTC regulations
also requires PSI to secure assets of the Partnership related to foreign futures
and options trading which totalled $5,449,617 and $4,996,751 at September 30,
1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. There are no segregation requirements
for assets related to forward trading.
As of September 30, 1998, the Partnership's open futures, forward and options
contracts mature within one year.

At September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, gross contract amounts of open
futures, forward and options contracts are:

Commitments to sell 7,380,915 477,804

</TABLE>
The gross contract amounts represent the Partnership's potential involvement
in a particular class of financial instrument (if it were to take or make
delivery on an underlying futures, forward or options contract). The gross
contract amounts significantly exceed the future cash requirements as the
Partnership intends to close out open positions prior to settlement and thus is
generally subject only to the risk of loss arising from the change in the value
of the contracts. As such, the Partnership considers the 'fair value' of its
futures, forward and options contracts to be the net unrealized gain or loss on
the contracts (plus premiums on options.) Thus, the amount at risk associated
with counterparty nonperformance of all contracts is the net unrealized gain
included in the statements of financial condition. The market risk associated
with the Partnership's commitments to purchase commodities is limited to the
gross contract amounts involved, while the market risk associated with its
commitments to sell is unlimited since the Partnership's potential involvement
is to make delivery of an underlying commodity at the contract price; therefore,
it must repurchase the contract at prevailing market prices.
At September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the fair value of open futures,
forward and options contracts was:

(a limited partnership)
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership commenced operations on May 30, 1990 with gross proceeds of
$65,520,000. After accounting for organizational and offering costs, the
Partnership's net proceeds were $64,222,750. At the inception of the
Partnership, 60% of the net proceeds was allocated to trading activity and 40%
was placed in reserve and invested in investment grade interest-bearing
obligations ('Reserve Assets'). On June 30, 1995, the letter of credit expired
and the Reserve Assets became available for commodities trading.
At September 30, 1998, 100% of the Partnership's net assets were allocated to
commodities trading. A significant portion of the net asset value was held in
U.S. Treasury bills (which represented approximately 70% of the net asset value
prior to redemptions payable) and cash, which are used as margin for the
Partnership's trading in commodities. Inasmuch as the sole business of the
Partnership is to trade in commodities, the Partnership continues to own such
liquid assets to be used as margin.
The percentage that U.S. Treasury bills bears to the total net assets varies
each day, and from month to month, as the market value of commodity interests
change. The balance of the total net assets is held in cash. All interest earned
on the Partnership's interest-bearing funds is paid to the Partnership.
The commodities contracts are subject to periods of illiquidity because of
market conditions, regulatory considerations and other reasons. For example,
commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in commodity futures contract prices
during a single day by regulations referred to as 'daily limits.' During a
single day, no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. Once the
price of a futures contract for a particular commodity has increased or
decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit, positions in the commodity can
neither be taken nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at
or within the limit. Commodity futures prices have occasionally moved the daily
limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading. Such market
conditions could prevent the Partnership from promptly liquidating its commodity
futures positions.
Since the Partnership's business is to trade futures, forward and options
contracts, its capital is at risk due to changes in the value of these contracts
(market risk) or the inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of
the contracts (credit risk). The General Partner attempts to minimize these
risks by requiring the Partnership's trading managers to abide by various
trading limitations and policies. See Note C to the financial statements for a
further discussion on the credit and market risks associated with the
Partnership's futures, forward and options contracts.
The Partnership does not have, nor does it expect to have, any capital
assets.
Redemptions by limited partners recorded for the nine and three months ended
September 30, 1998 were $2,433,227 and $978,277, respectively. Redemptions by
the General Partner recorded for the nine and three months ended September 30,
1998 were $24,360 and $9,741, respectively. Redemptions by limited partners and
the General Partner from commencement of operations, May 30, 1990, through
September 30, 1998 totalled 64,462,838 and $757,323, respectively. Future
redemptions will impact the amount of funds available for investment in
commodity contracts in subsequent periods.
Year 2000 Risk
Investment funds, like financial and business organizations and individuals
around the world, depend on the smooth functioning of computer systems. The year
2000, however, holds the potential for a significant disruption in the operation
of these systems. Many computer systems in use today cannot distinguish the year
2000 from the year 1900 because of the way in which dates are encoded. This is
commonly known as the 'Year 2000 Problem.' The Partnership could be adversely
affected if computer systems used by it or any third party with whom it has a
material relationship do not properly perform date comparisons and calculations
concerning dates on or after January 1, 2000, which in turn could have a
negative impact on the handling or determination of trades and prices and the
services provided to the Partnership.
The Partnership has engaged third parties to perform primarily all of the
services it needs. Accordingly, the Partnership's Year 2000 problems, if any,
are not its own but those that center around the ability of the
9
<PAGE>
General Partner, Prudential Securities Incorporated, its Trading Managers and
any other third party with whom the Partnership has a material relationship
(individually, a 'Service Provider,' and collectively, the 'Service Providers')
to address and correct problems that may cause their systems not to function as
intended as a result of the Year 2000 Problem.
The Partnership has received assurances from its General Partner and
Prudential Securities Incorporated that they anticipate being able to continue
their operations without any material adverse impact from the Year 2000 Problem.
Although other Service Providers, such as the Partnership's Trading Managers,
have not made similar representations to the Partnership, the Partnership has no
reason to believe that these Service Providers will not take steps necessary to
avoid any material adverse impact on the Partnership, though there can be no
assurance that this will be the case. The costs or consequences of incomplete or
untimely resolution of the Year 2000 Problem by the Service Providers, or by
governments, exchanges, clearing houses, regulators, banks and other third
parties, are unknown to the Partnership at this time, but could have a material
adverse impact on the operations of the Partnership. The General Partner will
promptly notify the Partnership's limited partners in the event it determines
that the Year 2000 Problem will have a material adverse impact on the
Partnership's operations.
The Partnership has considered various alternatives as a contingency plan. If
the Year 2000 Problems are systemic, for example, the federal government, the
banking system, exchanges or utilities are affected materially, there may be no
adequate contingency plan for the Partnership to follow other than to suspend
operations. If the Year 2000 Problems are related to one or more of the other
Service Providers selected by the Partnership, the Partnership believes that
each such Service Provider is prepared to address any Year 2000 Problems which
arise that could have a material adverse impact on the Partnership's operations.
Results of Operations
The net asset value per Unit as of September 30, 1998 was $165.11, a decrease
of 1.92% from the December 31, 1997 net asset value per Unit of $168.35.
Additionally, the net asset value per Unit increased 9.61% during the third
quarter.
Third quarter profits resulted from gains in the financial, index and energy
sectors. Losses were incurred in the metal, soft and grain sectors. Performance
early on in the quarter was slightly negative as generally flat markets left
little room for profitable trading opportunities. Also, price movements of many
industrial metals such as copper, zinc and lead provided a difficult trading
environment, leading to losses for the Partnership. As the quarter progressed
and world stock markets became unglued, investors turned to the financial sector
as a safe haven. This caused bond prices around the world to rise, significantly
profiting the Partnership's long bond positions. Particularly, gains were
experienced in Eurodollar, German ten-year, U.S. five-year and Japanese bonds.
Falling world stock markets also opened up opportunities for the Partnership to
profit by taking short positions in indices such as the U.S. S&P 500 and the
German DAX.
During July 1998, Willowbridge ceased to serve as a Trading Manager to the
Partnership. All assets previously managed by Willowbridge were allocated to
Tamiso, who began trading Partnership assets on August 28, 1998. As a result,
the Partnership did not incur management fees, commissions or other transaction
fees during the period these assets were not allocated for commodities trading.
The monthly management fee paid to Tamiso equals 1/6 of 1% (a 2% annual rate) of
its traded assets as compared to 1/4 of 1% (a 3% annual rate) paid to
Willowbridge. The quarterly incentive fee paid to Tamiso equals 17% of the New
High Net Trading Profits (as defined in the Advisory Agreement among the
Partnership, the General Partner and Tamiso) as compared to 20% of the New High
Net Trading Profits paid to Willowbridge.
Interest income from U.S. Treasury bills decreased by approximately $107,000
and $54,000 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared
to the same periods in 1997. These decreases are primarily due to the effect of
poor trading performance during the first six months of 1998 and redemptions on
funds available for investment in U.S. Treasury bills, as well as declining
interest rates during the current year.
Commissions are calculated on the net asset value on the first day of each
month and, therefore, vary based on monthly trading performance and redemptions.
Commissions decreased by approximately $282,000 and $144,000 for the nine and
three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the same periods in
1997. The effect on the monthly net asset values of poor trading performance
during the second quarter of 1997 and the first six months of 1998,
as well as redemptions, caused a majority of these
10
<PAGE>
decreases. The replacement of Willowbridge as a Trading
Manager as discussed above also resulted in decreases to commissions.
Other transaction fees consist of National Futures Association, exchange,
floor brokerage and clearing fees which are based on the number of trades the
Trading Managers execute. Other transaction fees decreased by approximately
$51,000 and $34,000 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1998 as
compared to the same periods in 1997 primarily due to lower trading volume. The
replacement of Willowbridge as a Trading Manager as discussed above also
resulted in decreases to other transaction fees.
As of September 30, 1998, all trading decisions were made by Sjo, Inc. and
Tamiso (the 'Trading Managers'). Management fees are calculated on the net asset
value allocated to each Trading Manager as of the end of each month and,
therefore, are affected by trading performance and redemptions. Management fees
decreased by approximately $160,000 and $72,000 for the nine and three months
ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the same periods in 1997 for the same
reasons commissions decreased, as well as a reduction in the rate paid to Tamiso
as compared to Willowbridge, as discussed above.
Incentive fees are based on New High Net Trading Profits generated by each
Trading Manager, as defined in the Advisory Agreements among the Partnership,
the General Partner and each Trading Manager. Despite overall net trading losses
for the Partnership, Tamiso generated profits during the three months ended
September 30, 1998 which resulted in incentive fees of approximately $9,000.
General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $11,000 and
$1,000 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the
same periods in 1997. These expenses include reimbursements of costs incurred by
the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership, in addition to accounting,
audit, tax and legal fees as well as printing and postage costs related to
reports sent to limited partners.

ADVISORY AGREEMENT
ADVISORY AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") dated as of the 27th
day of July, 1998 by and among Prudential-Bache Capital
Return Futures Fund 3, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership
(the "Partnership"), Seaport Futures Management Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "General Partner") and Robert M.
Tamiso, a sole proprietor (the "Advisor").
W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, the Partnership has been organized primarily for
the purpose of trading, buying, selling, spreading or
otherwise acquiring, holding or disposing of futures,
forwards and options contracts. Physical commodities also
may be traded from time to time. The foregoing commodities
related transactions are collectively referred to as
"Commodities"; and
WHEREAS, the General Partner is authorized to utilize the
services of one or more professional commodity trading
advisors in connection with the Commodities trading
activities of the Partnership; and
WHEREAS, the Partnership wishes to retain the Advisor as a
commodity trading advisor to the Partnership to manage a
portion of the Partnership's Assets; and
WHEREAS, the Advisor's present business includes the
management of Commodities accounts for his clients; and
1
<PAGE>
WHEREAS, the Advisor is registered as a commodity trading
advisor under the United States Commodity Exchange Act, as
amended ("CE Act") and is a member of the National Futures
Association ("NFA") as a commodity trading advisor and will
maintain such registration and membership for the term of
this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Partnership and the Advisor desire to enter
into this Agreement in order to set forth the terms and
conditions upon which the Advisor will render and implement
commodity advisory services in connection with the conduct
by the Partnership of its Commodities trading activities
during the term of this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Duties of the Advisor.
(a) Appointment. The Partnership hereby appoints the
Advisor, and the Advisor hereby accepts appointment, as its
attorney-in-fact to invest and reinvest in Commodities a
portion of the Net Asset Value of the Partnership on the
terms and conditions set forth herein, commencing on the
date hereof. The Advisor's initial allocation shall be
approximately $7,000,000. The precise definition of the
term "Net Asset Value" shall be as defined in Exhibit A
hereto. This limited power-of-attorney is a continuing
power and shall continue in effect with respect to the
Advisor until terminated hereunder. To this end, the
Advisor (i) agrees to act as a commodity trading advisor
retained by the General Partner on behalf of the
Partnership, and specifically, to exercise discretion with
respect to that portion of the Net Asset Value of the
Partnership which the General Partner has allocated to the
Advisor's management above, and which the General Partner
may allocate to the Advisor in the future, upon the terms
and conditions, and for the purposes, set forth in this
Agreement and (ii) shall have sole authority and
2
<PAGE>
responsibility for independently directing the investment
and reinvestment in Commodities of the portion of the
Partnership's Net Asset Value allocated to him for the term
of this Agreement pursuant to the trading methods, systems
and strategies of his Interbank Currency System (the
Advisor's "Trading Approach") as such trading approach is
described in the Advisor's Disclosure Document dated July 1,
1998 attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Disclosure
Document"), receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, subject
to the Partnership's trading policies and limitations as set
forth in Exhibit C, attached hereto, as the same may be
modified or amended and provided in writing to the Advisor
from time to time (the Partnership's "Trading Policies and
Limitations"). The General Partner and the Partnership
acknowledge that the Advisor makes no guarantee of profits
or of protection against loss, and that the Advisor's
Commodities transactions hereunder are for the account and
risk of the Partnership.
(b) Allocation of Responsibilities. The General Partner
will have the responsibility for the management of the
portion of the Partnership's Net Asset Value that is
invested in United States Treasury bills or other
investments approved by the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission ("CFTC") for the investment of "customer" funds
or are held in cash. The Advisor will use his good faith
best efforts in determining the investment and reinvestment
in Commodities of that portion of the Partnership's Net
Asset Value allocated to him in compliance with the Trading
Policies and Limitations, and in accordance with his Trading
Approach. In the event that the General Partner shall, in
its sole discretion, determine in good faith following
consultation, if appropriate under the circumstances, with
the Advisor that any trading instruction issued by the
Advisor violates the Partnership's Trading Policies and
Limitations, then the General Partner, following reasonable
notice appropriate under the circumstances to the Advisor,
may override such trading instruction. Nothing herein shall
be
3
<PAGE>
construed to prevent the General Partner from imposing
any limitation(s) on the trading activities of the
Partnership beyond those enumerated in Exhibit C hereto if
the General Partner determines that such limitation(s) are
necessary or in the best interests of the Partnership, in
which case the Advisor will adhere to such limitations
following written notification thereof.
(c) Modification of Trading Approach. In the event the
Advisor wishes to use a trading method or strategy other
than or in addition to the Trading Approach in connection
with trading for the Partnership (including without
limitation the deletion of an agreed upon trading method or
strategy or the addition of a trading method or strategy in
addition to the then agreed upon Trading Approach), either
in whole or in part, the Advisor may not do so unless he
gives the General Partner prior written notice of his
intention to utilize such different trading method or
strategy, and the General Partner consents thereto in
writing.
(d) Notification of Material Changes. The Advisor also
agrees to give the Partnership prior written notice of any
proposed material change in his Trading Approach, and agrees
not to make any material change in such Trading Approach (as
applied to the Partnership) over the objection of the
General Partner, it being understood that the Advisor shall
be free to institute non-material changes in his Trading
Approach (as applied to the Partnership) without prior
written notification. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, refinements to the Advisor's Trading
Approach, the addition or deletion of Commodities to or from
the Advisor's Trading Approach, and variations in the
leverage principles and policies utilized by the Advisor
shall not be deemed a material change in the Advisor's
Trading Approach, and prior approval of the General Partner
shall not be required therefor. The Advisor agrees that he
will discuss with the General Partner upon request, subject
to adequate assurances of confidentiality, any trading
4
<PAGE>
methods or strategies used by him for trading customer
accounts which differ from the Trading Approach which he
uses for the Partnership, provided, that nothing contained
in this Agreement shall require the Advisor to disclose what
he deems to be proprietary or confidential information
concerning any such trading methods or strategies, including
the Trading Approach.
(e) Request for Information. The Advisor agrees to provide
the Partnership with any reasonable information concerning
the Advisor that the Partnership may reasonably request,
subject to receipt of adequate assurances of confidentiality
by the Partnership, including, but not limited to,
information regarding any change in control, key personnel,
Trading Approach and financial condition which the
Partnership reasonably deems to be material to the
Partnership; the Advisor also shall notify the Partnership
of any such matters the Advisor, in his reasonable judgment,
believes may be material to the Partnership relating to the
Advisor and his Trading Approach.
(f) Notice of Errors. The Advisor is responsible for
promptly reviewing all oral and written confirmations he
receives to determine that the Commodities trades were made
in accordance with the Advisor's instructions. If the
Advisor determines that an error was made in connection with
a trade or that a trade was made other than in accordance
with the Advisor's instructions, the Advisor shall promptly
notify the Partnership of this fact, and shall utilize his
reasonable best efforts to cause the error or discrepancy to
be corrected.
(g) Exculpation. The Advisor shall not be liable to the
General Partner, its officers, directors, shareholders or
employees, or any person who controls the General Partner,
or the Partnership or its partners, or any of their
respective successors or assigns under this Agreement,
except by reason of the Advisor's acts or omissions in
material breach of this
5
<PAGE>
Agreement or due to his misconduct
or negligence or by reason of not having acted in good faith
in the reasonable belief that such actions or omissions were
in the best interests of the Partnership; it being
understood that all purchases and sales of Commodities shall
be for the account and risk of the Partnership, and the
Advisor shall not incur any liability for trading profits or
losses resulting therefrom.
2. Indemnification.
(a) The Advisor and each employee of the Advisor shall be
indemnified by the Partnership against any losses,
judgments, liabilities, expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) and amounts paid in
settlement of any claims (collectively "Losses") sustained
by the Advisor (i) in connection with any matter relating to
the Partnership's Registration Statement No. 33-32355 or
final prospectus, dated February 1, 1990, (the "Prospectus")
including all amendments and supplements thereto, as well as
any matters relating to the Partnership prior to the
effective date of this Agreement, (ii) in connection with
any acts or omissions of the Advisor relating to its
management of its allocable portion of the Partnership's Net
Asset Value, and (iii) as a result of a material breach of
this Agreement by the Partnership or the General Partner
provided that, (A) such Losses were not the direct result of
negligence, misconduct or a material breach of this
Agreement on the part of the Advisor, (B) the Advisor and
his employees acted (or omitted to act) in good faith and in
a manner reasonably believed by it and them to be in the
best interests of the Partnership and (C) any such
indemnification by the Partnership will only be recoverable
from the assets of the Partnership and/or the General
Partner.
6
<PAGE>
(b) The Partnership shall be indemnified by the Advisor
against any Losses sustained by the Partnership directly
resulting from (i) the negligence or misconduct of, or a
material breach of this Agreement by, the Advisor or his
employees or (ii) any action or omission to act of the
Advisor or his employees that was not taken in good faith or
in a manner reasonably believed by him and them to be in the
best interests of the Partnership.
(c) No indemnification shall be permitted under this Section
2 for amounts paid in settlement if either (A) the party
claiming indemnification (the "Indemnitee") fails to notify
the indemnifying party of the terms of any settlement
proposed, at least fifteen (15) days before any amounts are
paid or (B) the indemnifying party does not in its good
faith business judgment approve the amount of the settlement
within thirty (30) days of its receipt of notice of the
proposed settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
indemnifying party shall, at all times, have the right to
offer to settle any matter with the approval of the
Indemnitee (which approval shall not be withheld
unreasonably) and if the indemnifying party successfully
negotiates a settlement and tenders payment therefor to the
Indemnitee, the Indemnitee must either use its reasonable
best efforts to dispose of the matter in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the proposed settlement or the
Indemnitee may refuse to settle the matter and continue its
defense in which latter event the maximum liability of the
indemnifying party to the Indemnitee shall be the amount of
said proposed settlement. Any indemnification under this
Section 2, unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the
indemnifying party only as authorized in the specific case
and only upon a determination by mutually acceptable
independent legal counsel in a written opinion that
indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the
Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth hereunder.
7
<PAGE>
(d) None of the provisions for indemnification in this
Section 2 shall be applicable with respect to default
judgments or confessions of judgment entered into by an
Indemnitee, with its knowledge, without the prior consent of
the indemnifying party.
(e) In the event that an Indemnitee under this Section 2 is
made a party to an action, suit or proceeding alleging both
matters for which indemnification can be made hereunder and
matters for which indemnification may not be made hereunder,
such Indemnitee shall be indemnified only for that portion
of the Losses incurred in such action, suit or proceeding
which relates to the matters for which indemnification can
be made.
(f) Expenses incurred in defending a threatened or pending
civil, administrative or criminal action, suit or proceeding
against an Indemnitee shall be paid in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding if (i) the
legal action, suit or proceeding, if sustained, would
entitle the Indemnitee to indemnification pursuant to the
terms of this Section 2, and (ii) the Indemnitee undertakes
to repay the advanced funds in cases in which the Indemnitee
is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to the preceding
paragraph, and (iii) in the case of advancement of expenses,
the Indemnitee receives a written opinion of mutually
acceptable independent legal counsel that advancing such
expenses is proper in the circumstances.
3. Advisor Independence. The Advisor shall for all
purposes herein be deemed to be an independent contractor
with respect to the Partnership, the General Partner and
each other commodity trading advisor that provides or may in
the future provide commodity trading advisory services to
the Partnership (the other Advisors and each such other
commodity trading advisor being collectively referred to
herein as the "Other Advisors"), and shall, unless otherwise
expressly authorized, have no authority to act for or to
represent the Partnership, the General Partner or any Other
Advisor in any way or otherwise be deemed to be a general
agent, joint venturer or partner of the Partnership, the
General
8
<PAGE>
Partner or any Other Advisor, or in any way be
responsible for the acts or omissions of any Other Advisor
as long as he is acting independently of such Other Advisor.
The parties acknowledge that the Advisor has not been an
organizer or promoter of the Partnership.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require the
Partnership to take any action contrary to its Agreement of
Limited Partnership or Certificate of Limited Partnership,
or any applicable statute, regulation or rule of any
exchange or self-regulatory organization.
The Partnership and the General Partner acknowledge that the
Advisor's Trading Approach is his confidential property.
Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Advisor to
disclose the confidential or proprietary details of his
Trading Approach. The Partnership and the General Partner
further agree that they will keep confidential and will not
disseminate the Advisor's trading advice to the Partnership,
except as, and to the extent that, it may be determined by
the General Partner to be (i) necessary for the monitoring
the business of the Partnership, including the performance
of brokerage services by the Partnership's commodity
broker(s), or (ii) expressly required by law or regulation.
4. Commodity Broker. All Commodities trades for the
account of the Partnership shall be made through such
commodity broker or brokers as the General Partner directs
pursuant to such procedures as are mutually agreed upon.
The Advisor shall not have any authority or responsibility
in selecting or supervising any broker for execution of
Commodities trades of the Partnership or for negotiating
commission rates to be charged therefor. The Advisor shall
not be responsible for determining that any such bank or
broker used in connection with any
9
<PAGE>
Commodities transactions
meets the financial requirements or standards imposed by the
Partnership's Trading Policies and Limitations. At the
present time it is contemplated that the Partnership will
effect all Commodities trades through Prudential Securities
Incorporated ("Prudential Securities"); provided, however,
that the Advisor may execute transactions at such other
broker(s), and upon such terms and conditions, as the
Advisor and the General Partner agree if such broker(s)
agree to "give up" all such transactions to Prudential
Securities for clearance. To the extent that the
Partnership determines to utilize a broker or brokers other
than Prudential Securities, it will consult with the Advisor
prior to directing it to utilize such broker(s), and will
not retain the services of such broker(s) over the
reasonable objection of the Advisor.
5. Fees. In consideration of and in compensation for the
performance of the Advisor's services under this Agreement,
the Advisor shall receive from the Partnership:
(a) A management fee (the "Management Fee") of 1/6 of 1%
(2% annualized) of the portion of the Partnership's Net
Asset Value allocated to it as of the last day of each
calendar month. For purposes of determining such Management
Fee, any distributions and redemptions allocable to the
Advisor made as of the last day of such month shall be added
back to the Net Asset Value and there shall be no reduction
for (i) the accrued Management Fee being calculated, or (ii)
any fees due the Advisor under paragraph (c) below accrued
as of the last day of such month or (iii) any reallocation
of assets as of the last day of such month, or (iv) any
accrued but unpaid extraordinary expenses. The Management
Fee for any month in which the Advisor manages all or any
portion of the Net Asset Value of the Partnership allocated
to it for less than a full month shall be prorated, such
proration to be calculated on the basis of the
10
<PAGE>
number of days in the month the Net Asset Value allocated to the
Advisor was under the Advisor's management as compared to
the total number of days in such month.
(b) For the purposes of calculating incentive fees under
Section 5, only the management fee paid to the Advisor shall
be deducted from the Net Asset Value allocated to the
Advisor, together with brokerage commissions attributable to
the Advisor's trading activities, general administrative
charges attributable to the pro rata portion of the
Partnership's Net Asset Value allocated to the Advisor for
trading, and extraordinary expenses, if any, attributable to
the Advisor.
(c) A quarterly incentive fee (the "Incentive Fee") of
seventeen percent (17%) of New High Net Trading Profits (as
hereinafter defined) achieved on the portion of the
Partnership's Net Asset Value allocated to the Advisor. New
High Net Trading Profits for the Advisor shall be computed
as of the close of trading on the last day of each calendar
quarter. The first Incentive Fee which may be due and owing
to the Advisor in respect of any New High Net Trading
Profits shall be computed as of September 30, 1998. New
High Net Trading Profits shall be computed solely on the
performance of the Advisor and shall not include or be
affected by the performance of any Other Advisor.
"New High Net Trading Profits" (for purposes of calculating
the Advisor's Incentive Fee only) for each calendar quarter
is defined as the excess (if any) of (A) the Net Asset Value
of the Partnership allocated to the Advisor as of the last
day of any calendar quarter, but before deduction of
Incentive Fees payable for such quarter over (B) the Net
Asset Value of the Partnership allocated to the Advisor as
of the last day of the most recent preceding calendar
quarter for which an Incentive Fee was earned (or the date
the Advisor commenced trading the
11
<PAGE>
Partnership's Net Asset Value, whichever date the Net Asset Value
allocated to it was higher), after deduction of Management Fees and
Incentive Fees paid or payable to the Advisor for such prior
quarter. In computing New High Net Trading Profits, the
difference between (A) and (B) in the preceding sentence
shall be (i) decreased by all interest earned on the portion
of the Partnership's Net Asset Value allocated to the
Advisor between the dates referred to in (A) and (B), and
(ii) increased by (x) any distributions or redemptions
allocable to the Advisor and paid or payable by the
Partnership as of, or subsequent to, the date in (B) through
the date in (A); as well as (y) losses (including losses
incurred from the date of the last Incentive Fee paid or
payable), if any, associated with redeemed Units allocable
to the Advisor, and (iii) adjusted (either increased or
decreased, as the case may be) to reflect any additional
allocations or negative reallocations of the Partnership's
Net Asset Value to or from the Advisor from the date in (B)
to the last day of the calendar quarter as of which the
current Incentive Fee calculation is made. For purposes of
calculating the first Incentive Fee payable to the Advisor,
the date referred to in (B) shall be the date of this
Agreement. If there is a cumulative loss when a withdrawal
is made from the assets allocated to the Advisor for any
reason, such loss shall be reduced by the proportionate
amount of the loss attributable to the monies being
withdrawn.
Management Fees and Incentive Fees shall be paid within ten
(10) business days following the end of the period for which
they are payable.
If an Incentive Fee shall have been paid by the Partnership
to the Advisor in respect of any calendar quarter and the
Advisor shall incur subsequent losses on the portion of the
Partnership's Net Asset Value under his management, the
Advisor shall nevertheless be entitled to retain amounts
previously paid to it in respect of New High Net Trading
Profits.
12
<PAGE>
(d) Neither the Advisor nor any of his employees shall
receive any commissions, compensation, remuneration or
payments whatsoever from any broker with which the
Partnership carries an account for transactions executed in
the Partnership's account.
6. Term and Termination.
(a) Term. This Agreement shall commence on the date hereof
and, unless sooner terminated, shall continue in effect
until the close of business on July 31, 1999. Thereafter,
this Agreement shall be renewed automatically on the terms
and conditions set forth herein for additional successive
twelve (12) month terms, each of which shall commence on the
first day of the month subsequent to the conclusion of the
preceding twelve (12) month term, unless this Agreement is
terminated pursuant to paragraphs (b), (c) or (d) of this
Section 6. The automatic renewal(s) set forth in the
preceding sentence hereof shall not be affected by (i) any
reallocation of Partnership's Net Asset Value away from the
Advisor pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement, or (ii) the
retention of Other Advisors following a reallocation, or
otherwise.
(b) Automatic Termination. This Agreement shall terminate
automatically in the event that the Partnership is
terminated. This Agreement shall terminate automatically
with respect to the Advisor, upon one business day prior
written notice from the General Partner, without affecting
the continuation of this Agreement with any Other Advisor in
the event that the Advisor's allocable percentage of the
Partnership's Net Asset Value at the close of trading on any
business day is equal to or less than the Termination
Amount. The "Termination Amount" shall be an amount equal
to 66-2/3% of the portion of the Partnership's Net Asset
Value allocated to the Advisor's management on the date it
commences Commodities trading activities for the
Partnership, or the first day of any calendar year,
whichever day the Net Asset Value
13
<PAGE>
allocated to the Advisor
is higher, in either case, as adjusted on an ongoing basis
by the percentage decline(s) or increases in that portion of
the Partnership's Net Asset Value allocated to the Advisor's
management caused by distributions, redemptions and
permitted reallocations, and new allocations to the Advisor
covered by reallocations away from other trading advisors,
respectively. Each redemption and distribution of funds
shall have the effect of reducing the Termination Amount by
an amount equal to the portion of such redemption or
distribution allocable to the Advisor. Reallocations of
funds away from the Advisor shall reduce the Termination
Amount dollar for dollar.
(c) Optional Termination Right of Partnership. This
Agreement may be terminated at any time in the sole
discretion of the General Partner upon prior written notice
to the Advisor. The General Partner will use its best
efforts to cause any such termination to occur as of a
month-end.
(d) Optional Termination Right of Advisor. The Advisor
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement (1) upon
written notice to the General Partner at least thirty (30)
days' prior to the end of each twelve (12) month term of
this Agreement; and (2) upon thirty (30) days' prior written
notice to the General Partner in the event (i) of the
receipt by the Advisor of an opinion of independent counsel
satisfactory to the Advisor and the Partnership that by
reason of the Advisor's activities with respect to the
Partnership, the Advisor is required to register as an
investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of
1940; (ii) that the registration of the General Partner as a
commodity pool operator under the CE Act, or its NFA
membership as a commodity pool operator is revoked,
suspended, terminated or not renewed; (iii) the General
Partner imposes additional trading limitation(s) pursuant to
Section 1 of this Agreement which
14
<PAGE>
the Advisor does not agree
to follow in his management of the Partnership's Net Asset
Value or the General Partner overrides a trading instruction
of the Advisor; (iv) if the Net Asset Value allocated to the
Advisor decreases, for any reason, to less than $1,000,000;
(v) the General Partner elects (pursuant to Section 1 of
this Agreement) to have the Advisor use a different Trading
Approach in the Advisor's management of Partnership assets
from that which the Advisor is then using to manage such
assets and the Advisor objects to using such different
Trading Approach; (vi) there is an unauthorized assignment
of this Agreement by the Partnership or the General Partner;
or (vii) other good cause is shown and the written consent
of the General Partner is obtained (which shall not be
withheld unreasonably).
(e) In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant
to subparagraphs (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 6, the
Advisor shall be entitled to, and the Partnership shall pay,
the Management Fee and the Incentive Fee, if any, which
shall be computed (A) with respect to the Management Fee, on
a pro rata basis, based upon the portion of the month for
which the Advisor had his portion of the Partnership's Net
Asset Value under management, and (B) with respect to the
Incentive Fee, if any, as if the effective date of
termination was the last day of the then current calendar
quarter. The rights of the Advisor to fees earned through
the earlier to occur of the date of expiration or
termination of this Agreement shall survive this Agreement
until satisfied.
7. Reallocation of Funds. The General Partner may, at any
month-end, in its sole discretion, upon at least thirty (30)
days' prior written notice, reallocate a portion of the
Partnership's Net Asset Value then allocated to the
Advisor's management away from the Advisor.
15
<PAGE>
8. Liquidation of Positions. The Advisor agrees to
liquidate open positions in the amount that the General
Partner informs the Advisor, in writing via telecopy or
other equivalent means, that the General Partner considers
necessary or advisable to liquidate in order to (i) effect
any termination or reallocation pursuant to Sections 6 or 7,
respectively, or (ii) fund his pro rata share of any
redemption, distribution or Partnership expense. The
General Partner shall not, however, have authority to
instruct the Advisor as to which specific open positions to
liquidate, except as provided in Section 1 hereof. The
General Partner shall provide the Advisor with such
reasonable prior notice of such liquidation as is
practicable under the circumstances and will endeavor to
provide at least three (3) days' prior notice. In the event
that losses incurred by the Advisor exceed the assets
allocated to the Advisor, the General Partner will withdraw
the funds necessary to cover such excess losses pro rata
from the assets under the management of all Other Advisors.
9. Other Accounts of the Advisor.
(a) Subject to paragraph (b) of this Section 9, the Advisor
shall be free to manage and trade accounts for other
investors (including other public and private commodity
pools) during the term of this Agreement and to use the same
or other information and Trading Approach utilized in the
performance of services for the Partnership for such other
accounts so long as the Advisor's ability to carry out his
obligations and duties to the Partnership pursuant to this
Agreement is not materially impaired thereby. In addition,
the Advisor and his employees, as applicable, also will be
permitted to trade in Commodities for their own accounts, so
long as the Advisor's ability to carry out his obligations
and duties to the Partnership is not materially impaired
thereby.
(b) Furthermore, so long as the Advisor is performing
services for the Partnership, he agrees that he will not
accept additional capital for management in the Commodities
markets if doing so would have a reasonable likelihood of
resulting in the Advisor having to modify materially his
agreed upon Trading Approach being used for the Partnership
in a manner which might reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on the Partnership (without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, it is understood that this
paragraph shall not prohibit the acceptance of additional
capital, which acceptance requires only routine adjustments
to trading patterns in order to comply with speculative
position limits or daily trading limits).
(c) The Advisor agrees, in his management of accounts other
than the account of the Partnership, that he will not
knowingly or deliberately favor any other account managed or
controlled by him or any of his employees or affiliates (in
whole or in part) over the Partnership. The preceding
sentence shall not be interpreted to preclude (i) the
Advisor from charging another client fees which differ from
the fees to be paid to it hereunder, or (ii) an adjustment
by the Advisor in the implementation of any agreed upon
Trading Approach in accordance with the procedures set forth
in Section 1 hereof, which is undertaken by the Advisor in
good faith in order to accommodate additional accounts. The
Advisor, upon reasonable request and receipt of adequate
assurances of confidentiality, shall provide the General
Partner with an explanation of the differences, if any, in
performance between the Partnership and any other similar
account pursuant to the same Trading Approach for which the
Advisor or any of his affiliates acts as a commodity trading
advisor (in whole or in part).
(d) Upon reasonable notice from the General Partner, the
Advisor shall permit the General Partner to review at the
Advisor's offices during normal business hours such trading
records as he reasonably may request for the purpose of
confirming that the Partnership has been treated equitably
with respect to advice rendered during the term of this
Agreement by the Advisor for other accounts managed by the
Advisor, which the parties acknowledge to mean that the
General Partner may inspect, subject to such restrictions as
the Advisor may reasonably deem necessary or advisable so as
to preserve the confidentiality of proprietary information
and the identity of his clients, all trading records of the
Advisor as it reasonably may request related to such other
accounts during normal business hours. The Advisor may, in
his discretion, withhold from any such report or inspection
the identity of the client for whom any such account is
maintained and in any event, the Partnership and the General
Partner shall keep all such information obtained by it from
the Advisor confidential.
10. Speculative Position Limits. If, at any time during the
term of this Agreement, it appears to the Advisor that he
may be required to aggregate the Partnership's Commodities
positions with the positions of any other accounts he owns
or controls for purposes of applying the speculative
position limits of the CFTC, any exchange, self-regulatory
body, or governmental authority, the Advisor promptly will
notify the General Partner if the Partnership's positions
are included in an aggregate amount which equals or exceeds
one hundred percent (100%) of the applicable speculative
limit. The Advisor agrees that, if his trading
recommendations pursuant to his agreed upon Trading Approach
are altered because of the potential application of
speculative position limits, the Advisor will modify his
trading instructions to the Partnership and his other
accounts in a good faith effort to achieve an equitable
treatment of all accounts; to wit, the Advisor will
liquidate Commodities positions and/or limit the taking of
new positions in
18
<PAGE>
all accounts he manages, including the
Partnership, as nearly as possible in proportion to the
assets available for trading of the respective accounts to
the extent necessary to comply with applicable speculative
position limits. The Advisor presently believes that his
Trading Approach for the management of the Partnership's
account can be implemented for the benefit of the
Partnership notwithstanding the possibility that, from time
to time, speculative position limits may become applicable.
11. Redemptions, Distributions and Reallocations.
(a) The General Partner agrees to give the Advisor at least
three (3) days' prior notice of any proposed redemptions,
distributions or reallocations.
(b) Redemptions and distributions shall be charged against
the various Partnership accounts managed by its trading
advisors, including the Advisor, in such proportions as the
General Partner, in its discretion, determines to be in the
Partnership's best interests.
12. Brokerage Confirmations and Reports. The General
Partner will instruct the Partnership's commodity broker or
brokers to furnish the Advisor with copies of all trade
confirmations, daily equity runs, and monthly trading
statements relating to the Partnership's assets under the
management of the Advisor. The Advisor will maintain
records and will monitor all open positions relating
thereto; provided, however, that except as provided in
Section 1(f) hereof, the Advisor shall not be responsible
for any brokerage errors. The General Partner also will
furnish the Advisor with a copy of all reports, including
but not limited to, monthly, quarterly and annual reports,
sent to the limited partners, the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"), the CFTC and the NFA. The Advisor
shall, at the General Partner's
19
<PAGE>
request, provide the General
Partner with copies of all trade confirmations, daily equity
runs, monthly trading reports or other reports sent to the
Advisor by the Partnership's commodity broker regarding the
Partnership, and in the Advisor's possession or control, as
the General Partner deems appropriate, if the General
Partner cannot obtain such copies on its own behalf. Upon
request, the General Partner will provide the Advisor with
accurate information with respect to the Partnership's then
current Net Asset Value and Net Asset Value per Unit.
13. The Advisor's Representations and Warranties. The
Advisor represents and warrants that:
(a) He has full capacity and authority to enter into this
Agreement, and to provide the services required of it
hereunder;
(b) He will not by entering into this Agreement and by

a material adverse effect on the Partnership;

affiliates, nor any of his or their respective successors or

be expected to result in any material adverse change in the
condition of the Advisor (financial or otherwise), business
or prospects or reasonably might be expected to affect
adversely in any material respect any of the Advisor's
assets or which reasonably might be expected to (A)
materially impair the Advisor's ability to discharge his

received any notice of an investigation by (i) the NFA
regarding noncompliance with NFA rules or the CE Act, (ii)
the CFTC regarding noncompliance with the CE Act, or the
rules and regulations thereunder, or (iii) any exchange

which investigation reasonably might be expected to (1)
materially impair his ability to discharge his obligations
to the Partnership, or (2) result in a matter which would
require disclosure in his Disclosure Document which has not
been so disclosed;

Partnership and itself that:
(a) It has full corporate capacity and authority to enter
into this Agreement;
(b) It will not, by acting as general partner to the
Partnership or by entering into this Agreement, (i) be
required to take any action contrary to its incorporating
documents or any applicable statute, law or regulation of
any jurisdiction, or (ii) breach or cause to be breached (A)
any undertaking, agreement, contract, statute, rule,
regulation, to which it or the Partnership is a party or by

(c) The Partnership and the General Partner have obtained
all required governmental and regulatory licenses,
registrations and approvals required by law as may be
23
<PAGE>

EXHIBIT A
"Net Asset Value" means the total assets, including, but not
limited to, all cash and cash equivalents (valued at cost
plus accrued interest and amortization of original issue
discount) less total liabilities, of the Partnership, each
determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States, consistently applied under
the accrual method of accounting ("GAAP"), including, but
not limited to, the extent specifically set forth below:
(a) Net Asset Value shall include any unrealized profit or
loss on open Commodities Positions, and any other credit or
debit accruing to the Partnership but unpaid or not received
by the Partnerships.
(b) All open commodity futures contracts and options traded
on a United States exchange are calculated at their then
current market value, which shall be based upon the
settlement price for that particular commodity futures
contract and option traded on the applicable United States
exchange on the date with respect to which Net Asset Value
is being determined; provided, that if a commodity futures
contract or option traded on a United States exchange could
not be liquidated on such day, due to the operation of daily
limits or other rules of the exchange upon which that
position is traded or otherwise, the settlement price on the
first subsequent day on which the position could be
liquidated shall be the basis for determining the market
value of such position for such day. The current market
value of all open commodity futures contracts and options
traded on a non-United States exchange shall be based upon
the liquidating value for that particular commodity futures
contract and option traded on the applicable non-United
States exchange on the date with respect to which Net Asset
Value is being determined; provided, that if a commodity
futures contract or option traded on a non-United States
exchange could not be liquidated on such day, due to the
operation of rules of the exchange upon which that position
is traded or otherwise, the liquidating value on the first
subsequent day on which the position could be liquidated
shall be the basis for determining the market value of such
position for such day. The current market value of all open
forward contracts entered into by the Partnership shall be
the mean between the last bid and last asked prices quoted
by the bank or financial institution which is a party to the
contract on the date with respect to which Net Asset Value
is being determined; provided, that if such quotations are
not available on such date, the mean between the last bid
and asked prices on the first subsequent day on which such
quotations are available shall be the basis for determining
the market value of such forward contract for such day. The
General Partner may in its discretion value any assets of
the Partnership pursuant to such other principles as it may
deem fair and equitable.
(c) Interest earned on the Partnership's commodity brokerage
account shall be accrued at least monthly; and
30
<PAGE>
(d) The amount of any distribution made pursuant to Article
VIII of the Partnership's Agreement of Limited Partnership
shall be a liability of the Partnership from the day when
the distribution is declared until it is paid.

Trading Limitations
The Partnership will not: (i) engage in pyramiding its
commodities positions (i.e., the use of unrealized profits
on existing positions to provide margin for the acquisition
of additional positions in the same or a related commodity),
but may take into account open trading equity on existing
positions in determining generally whether to acquire
additional commodities positions; (ii) borrow or loan money
(except with respect to the initiation or maintenance of the
Partnership's commodities positions or obtaining lines of
credit for the trading of forward contracts; provided,
however, that the Partnership is prohibited from incurring
any indebtedness on a non-recourse basis); (iii) permit
rebates or give-ups to be received by the General Partner or
its affiliates, or permit the General Partner or any
affiliate to engage in any reciprocal business arrangements
which would circumvent the foregoing prohibition; (iv)
permit the Advisor to share in any portion of the commodity
brokerage fees paid by the Partnership; (v) commingle its
assets, except as permitted by law; or (vi) permit the
churning of its commodity accounts.
The Partnership will conform in all respects to the rules,
regulations and guidelines of the markets on which its
trades are executed.
Trading Policies
Subject to the foregoing limitations, the Advisor has agreed
to abide by the trading policies of the Partnership, which
currently are as follows:
(1) Partnership funds will generally be invested in
futures, forward and option contracts which are traded in
sufficient volume to permit taking and liquidating
positions.
(2) Stop or limit orders may, in the Advisor's discretion,
be given with respect to initiating or liquidating positions
in order to limit losses or secure profits. If stop or
limit orders are used, no assurance can be given, however,
that Prudential Securities will be able to liquidate a
position at a specified stop or limit order price, due to
either the volatility of the market or the inability to
trade because of market limitations.
(3) The Partnership generally will not initiate an open
position in a futures contract (other than a cash settlement
contract) during any delivery month in that contract, except
when required by exchange rules, law or exigent market
circumstances. This policy does not apply to forward and
cash market transactions.
(4) The Partnership may occasionally make or accept
delivery of a commodity, including, without limitation,
currencies.
(5) The Partnership will, from time to time, employ trading
techniques such as spreads, straddles and conversions.
<PAGE>
(6) The Advisor will not initiate open positions which
would result in net long or short positions requiring margin
or premium for outstanding positions in excess of 15% of the
Partnership's Net Asset Value allocated to the Advisor for
any one commodity, or in excess of 66(% of the Partnership's
Net Asset Value allocated to the Advisor for all commodities
combined.
(7) To the extent the Partnership engages in transactions
in foreign currency forward contracts other than with or
through Prudential Securities or its affiliates, the
Partnership will only engage in such transactions with or
through a bank which as of the end of its last fiscal year
had an aggregate balance in its capital, surplus and related
accounts of at least $100,000,000, as shown by its published
financial statements for such year, and through other
broker-dealer firms with an aggregate balance in its
capital, surplus and related accounts of at least
$50,000,000.
The General Partner will be responsible for the management
of non-commodities assets, with the assistance of Prudential
Securities or other affiliates. At least 75% of the
Partnership's Net Asset Value will be maintained in
interest-bearing U.S. Treasury obligations (primarily U.S.
Treasury bills), a significant portion of which will be
