2 RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENT FOR FUTURES AND OPTIONS (continued) CC 3 safeguard funds or property deposited for your account. (9) Under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position. This can occur, for example, when the market reaches a daily price fluctuation limit ( limit move ). (10) All futures positions involve risk, and a spread position may not be less risky than an outright long or short position. (11) The high degree of leverage (gearing) that is often obtainable in futures trading because of the small margin requirements can work against you as well as for you. Leverage (gearing) can lead to large losses as well as gains. (12) In addition to the risks noted in the paragraphs enumerated above, you should be familiar with the futures commission merchant you select to entrust your funds for trading futures positions. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission requires each futures commission merchant to make publicly available on its Web site firm specific disclosures and financial information to assist you with your assessment and selection of a futures commission merchant. Information regarding this futures commission merchant may be obtained by visiting our Web site, ALL OF THE POINTS NOTED ABOVE APPLY TO ALL FUTURES TRADING WHETHER FOREIGN OR DOMESTIC. IN ADDITION, IF YOU ARE CONTEMPLATING TRADING FOREIGN FUTURES OR OPTIONS CONTRACTS, YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL RISKS: (13) Foreign futures transactions involve executing and clearing trades on a foreign exchange. This is the case even if the foreign exchange is formally linked to a domestic exchange, whereby a trade executed on one exchange liquidates or establishes a position on the other exchange. No domestic organization regulates the activities of a foreign exchange, including the execution, delivery, and clearing of transactions on such an exchange, and no domestic regulator has the power to compel enforcement of the rules of the foreign exchange or the laws of the foreign country. Moreover, such laws or regulations will vary depending on the foreign country in which the transaction occurs. For these reasons, customers who trade on foreign exchanges may not be afforded certain of the protections which apply to domestic transactions, including the right to use domestic alternative dispute resolution procedures. In particular, funds received from customers to margin foreign futures transactions may not be provided the same protections as funds received to margin futures transactions on domestic exchanges. Before you trade, you should familiarize yourself with the foreign rules which will apply to your particular transaction. (14) Finally, you should be aware that the price of any foreign futures or option contract and, therefore, the potential profit and loss resulting therefrom, may be affected by any fluctuation in the foreign exchange rate between the time the order is placed and the foreign futures contract is liquidated or the foreign option contract is liquidated or exercised. THIS BRIEF STATEMENT CANNOT, OF COURSE, DISCLOSE ALL THE RISKS AND OTHER ASPECTS OF THE COMMODITY MARKETS. I hereby acknowledge that I have received and understood this risk disclosure statement.

5 VOLUNTARY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT CC 14 This Voluntary Arbitration Agreement will be deemed a part of, and incorporated into the Account Agreement with Cunningham Commodities, LLC ( Cunningham ) when signed below whereby the undersigned consents to and agrees to abide by the provisions hereof. If you sign this Voluntary Arbitration Agreement you agree that any controversy, claim or grievance between you and Cunningham relating to your account(s) shall, except as provided below, be resolved by arbitration before a forum chosen in accordance with the procedures described herein. Any award rendered thereon by the arbitrators shall be final and binding on each and all of the parties thereto and their personal representatives and judgment may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Notification of your intent to arbitrate must be sent by certified mail to Cunningham at its Chicago office. At such time as you notify Cunningham that you intend to submit a claim to arbitration, or at such time as Cunningham notifies you of its intention to submit a claim for arbitration, you will have the opportunity to elect a qualified forum for the conducting of the proceeding. Please note that, in the Account Agreement, you have agreed that the venue for all arbitration proceedings shall be within the City of Chicago, State of Illinois. Within ten business days after receipt of a notice from you or at the time Cunningham so notifies you, Cunningham will provide you with a list of three organizations whose procedures qualify them to conduct arbitrations in accordance with CFTC Reg , together with a copy of the rules of each forum listed. If you fail to make such selection within forty-five days, then Cunningham shall have the right to make such election. If Cunningham notifies you of its intent to submit a claim for arbitration, it shall designate a qualified forum for conducting the proceedings. Cunningham will pay any incremental fees which may be assessed by a qualified forum for provision of a mixed panel, unless the arbitrators in a particular proceeding determine that you have acted in bad faith in initiating or conducting that proceeding. If, by reason of any applicable statute, regulation, exchange rule or otherwise (other than by reason of your entitlement to commence reparation proceedings under Section 14 of the Commodity Exchange Act and Part 12 of the regulations promulgated there under), your advance agreement to submit a controversy to arbitration would not be enforceable by Cunningham, then this provision shall not permit you to enforce Cunningham s advance agreement to submit to arbitration. THREE FORUMS EXIST FOR THE RESOLUTION OF COMMODITY DISPUTES: CIVIL COURT LITIGATION, REPARATIONS AT THE COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION (CFTC) AND ARBITRATION CONDUCTED BY A SELF-REGULATORY OR OTHER PRIVATE ORGANIZATION. THE CFTC RECOGNIZES THAT THE OPPORTUNITY TO SETTLE DISPUTES BY ARBITRATION MAY IN SOME CASES PROVIDE MANY BENEFITS TO CUSTOMERS, INCLUDING THE ABILITY TO OBTAIN AN EXPEDITIOUS AND FINAL RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES WITHOUT INCURRING SUBSTANTIAL COSTS. THE CFTC REQUIRES, HOWEVER, THAT EACH CUSTOMER INDIVIDUALLY EXAMINE THE RELATIVE MERITS OF ARBITRATION AND THAT YOUR CONSENT TO THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT BE VOLUNTARY. BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU: (1) MAY BE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO SUE IN A COURT OF LAW; AND (2) ARE AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY ARBITRATION OF ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS WHICH YOU OR CUNNINGHAM MAY SUBMIT TO ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. YOU ARE NOT, HOWEVER, WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO ELECT INSTEAD TO PETITION THE CFTC TO INSTITUTE REPARATIONS PROCEEDINGS UNDER SECTION 14 OF THE COMMODITY EXCHANGE ACT WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE THAT MAY BE ARBITRATED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT. IN THE EVENT A DISPUTE ARISES, YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED IF CUNNINGHAM INTENDS TO SUBMIT THE DISPUTE TO ARBITRATION. IF YOU BELIEVE A VIOLATION OF THE COMMODITY EXCHANGE ACT IS INVOLVED AND IF YOU PREFER TO REQUEST A SECTION 14 REPARATIONS PROCEEDING BEFORE THE CF'T'C, YOU WILL HAVE 45 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF SUCH NOTICE IN WHICH TO MAKE THAT ELECTION. YOU NEED NOT SIGN THIS AGREEMENT TO OPEN OR MAINTAIN AN ACCOUNT WITH CUNNINGHAM. (SEE 17 CFR ) You are advised that if you seek reparations under Section 14 of the Commodity Exchange Act and Part 12 of the regulations promulgated there under, and the CFTC declines to institute reparation proceedings, claims or grievances may be subject to this Arbitration Agreement PRINT NAME CUSTOMER SIGNATURE DATE

9 Additional Risk Disclosure 1. You acknowledge that trading in commodity futures and options is speculative and involves a high degree of risk, and that no promises or representations regarding profits or limitation of losses have been made by Global Futures & Forex Inc. or its employees or agents (collectively, GFF BROKERS ). Because of the complexity, only genuine risk capital should be used for trading. 2. No representation is made that taking educational commodity courses, paper trading or online simulated trading will increase your chances of success in trading futures. Simply because a subscriber of the educational publication follows its methodologies does not mean that the customer s trading will be profitable or losses will be limited. As a result, customer acknowledges that the high degree of risk involved in commodity futures and options trading is not lessened by having subscribed to materials of any educational service or paper traded and does not guarantee or assure that the customer will make a profit or limit his losses. 3. You acknowledge that you may receive trading recommendations by GFF BROKERS or its agents and employees, and that any trading recommendations received shall not be relied upon by you for accuracy. You must make your own independent determination as to the advisability of a particular trade, or rely on the independent advice of a CTA or other account manager not affiliated with GFF BROKERS. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses. There have been no promises, guarantees or warranties suggesting that any trading will result in a profit or will not result in a loss. 4. It has been widely reported that most futures and options traders lose money. GFF BROKERS, its agents and employees have no reason to believe that individuals, who subscribe to educational commodity courses, attend seminars, and/or workshops perform any better than other futures and options traders. 5. You acknowledge that you have exercised independent judgment in selecting a futures brokerage firm, and that opening an account with GFF BROKERS is purely optional and voluntary. 6. This additional risk disclosure document is supplemental to all other risk disclosure documents provided to you by GFF BROKERS, but does not replace any other risk disclosures given to you when opening your account. In the event of a conflict of terms between this disclosure and your Customer Agreement or Risk Disclosure, the Customer Agreement or Risk Disclosure offered by your FCM controls. 7. GFF BROKERS encourages you to check your equity runs daily to determine its accuracy or report any errors. You are limited to 24-hours in which you can report errors contained in the equity run. If you do not understand how to read your equity run, please contact your broker or our Customer Service Department for assistance. If your account is being traded by someone other than yourself, it is imperative that you check your equity runs as soon as possible to correct any errors. If you are not receiving or are unable to access your equity runs on a daily basis, even if someone else is trading your account, please contact us immediately; otherwise, we will assume you have correctly received it. 8. Most open outcry and electronic trading facilities are supported by computer-based systems for their order-routing, executing, matching, response times, security, registration, clearing of trades. As with all facilities and systems, they are vulnerable to temporary disruption or failure. In the event of a system or component failure, it is possible that you may not be able to enter new orders, execute existing orders, or modify or cancel orders that were previously entered. You may also experience loss of orders or order priority. Your ability to recover certain losses as a result of such failures is limited by the system providers, the exchanges, the FCM, and GFF BROKERS. 9. Accounts in which you have assigned someone else power of attorney to trade your account ( POA ), that account must only be traded by the POA and not by both you and your POA at the same time. This is to avoid confusion and mistakes between the two parties. If the Customer wants to trade his own account, he should open a second account and allow the POA to continue trading the first account, or remove the POA as having authority to trade the account. GFF BROKERS is not responsible for trading errors or entries as a result of both parties trading the same account. POAs must be revoked by the account owner(s) in writing in order to be effective. 10. When you place an order through GFF BROKERS s trade desk, that order may NOT be entered into your online order execution platform. It is your responsibility to keep track of all orders, including all trades executed with the trade desk, and for knowing your positions at all times. GFF BROKERS is authorized to rely solely on your representations and the information shown on our computer system. While this information is deemed reliable, GFF BROKERS makes no guarantees as to the accuracy of the information provided. If you would like your trades placed with the trade desk to be shown on your online order execution platform, it is your responsibility to contact GFF BROKERS and request an external fill. 11. GFF BROKERS is authorized by you to accept oral telephonic orders as you or your authorized agent may give for transactions in your account(s). You hereby waive any defense that such order was not in writing or evidenced by a memorandum in writing as required by the Statute of Frauds or any other statute. Although authorized, GFF BROKERS is not required to accept oral or telephonic orders. GFF BROKERS is further authorized to record, whether by tape, wire or other method, with or without a periodic tone signal, any and all telephonic or other oral communications between GFF BROKERS and you and/or your authorized agents, with or without notice thereof 12. By your signature below, you agree that in any action brought by you against GFF BROKERS, its agents and employees, or its FCM, with which it has contractual and indemnification responsibilities, in which GFF BROKERS or its FCM prevails, to reimburse GFF BROKERS for all legal fees and costs, including attorneys fees, expended in conjunction with such matter, including indemnification cost between GFF BROKERS and its FCM(s). By your signature below you are hereby waiving your right to contest this provision. Initials Global Futures & Forex Inc. Rev: 05/2017

10 13. This brief statement does not disclose all of the risks associated with trading in futures and options. Customers should undertake commodity trading only if they fully understand the nature of the contract and contractual relationship into which they are entering and the extent of their capital exposure risk. Trading in futures and options is not suitable for everyone. Customers are advised to carefully consider whether trading is appropriate for them in light of their experience, objectives, financial resources and other relevant circumstances. 14. You understand that GFF BROKERS has the sole and absolute discretion and the right to limit positions in your account(s), to decline to accept any orders, and to require that your account(s) be transferred to another firm. You understand that if you do not promptly transfer your positions upon GFF BROKERS s demand, GFF BROKERS reserves the right to liquidate positions in your account(s) at its sole and absolute discretion. 15. You agree to maintain such margin as GFF BROKERS may require in its sole and absolute discretion with respect to your account(s). Any accounts that fall into margin call will be charged a margin call fee of $50 per contract. An account that does not meet the margin requirement may be liquidated and an additional liquidation fee of $25 per contract will be assessed to your account. Please be aware that additional margin call & liquidation fees may be charged by the FCM, please contact your broker for details. Margin requirements and the fees may be increased without notice in GFF BROKERS's sole and absolute discretion and may differ from those established by the exchange on which the transaction is executed and the FCM at which your account is held. Margin requirements are subject to change without notice and will be enforced retroactively and prospectively. You shall make deposits of margin as GFF BROKERS requests within a reasonable time after such a request. It is agreed and understood that one hour may be deemed to be a reasonable time; provided, however, that GFF BROKERS, in its sole and absolute discretion, may require that deposits be made in a lesser period of time. GFF BROKERS's failure to require satisfaction of a margin call within one hour, or any lesser period, on any occasion shall not be deemed to be a waiver of its right to do so in the future. You shall provide GFF BROKERS with any information deemed reasonable and prudent for immediate verification of wire transfers. 16. In the event you fail to deposit sufficient funds to pay for any futures and/or commodities and/or to satisfy any demands for initial and/or variation margin, or whenever, in GFF BROKERS s sole and absolute discretion it considers it necessary, GFF BROKERS may, without prior demand or notice and not withstanding any rule of any exchange, liquidate and/or hedge the positions in your account(s). Such sale or purchase may be made without advertising or notice to you and in such a manner as GFF BROKERS may, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine, and no demands, tenders or notices which GFF BROKERS may make or give shall invalidate your aforesaid waiver. If liquidation is deemed necessary a liquidation fee of $50.00 per contract will be assessed to your account and risk. You agree that GFF BROKERS has no duty and is not required to liquidate positions in your account(s) and that the provisions of this paragraph are solely for the protection of GFF BROKERS. 17. You acknowledge that you shall be liable for all losses in your account(s) whether or not your account(s) is liquidated for any debts and deficiencies, including, but not limited to, interest, costs, expenses, maintenance fees, exchange rates, margin call fees, liquidation fees, and attorneys fees, including all debts and deficiencies resulting from a liquidation of your account(s). If a client has multiple accounts, GFF BROKERS reserves the right to transfer funds between those accounts in order to cover possible debits/margin calls. 18. Special Risk Disclosure Document for System Traders: [CFTC Rule 4.41(b)(1)(I)] Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under or over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses. There have been no promises, guarantees or warranties suggesting that any trading will result in a profit or will not result in a loss.
