Compensation to the Trading Advisors by the Trading Companies consists of a management fee and an incentive fee as follows:

Management Fee – Each Trading Company pays its Trading Advisor a monthly management fee based on a percentage of net assets as described in the advisory agreement among each Trading Company, Ceres and each Trading Advisor.

Incentive Fee – Each Trading Company pays each Trading Advisor a quarterly incentive fee equal to 20% of the trading profits earned by the applicable Trading Company. Such fee is accrued on a monthly basis.
 
Trading profits represent the amount by which profits from Futures Interests trading exceed losses after management fees and administrative fees are deducted.  When a Trading Advisor experiences losses with respect to net assets as of the end of a calendar quarter, the Trading Advisor must recover such losses before that Trading Advisor is eligible for an incentive fee in the future.
