Trust or the Fund with any applicable documents, laws or regulations, or for losses, costs or expenses arising out of a failure by the Sponsor, the Trust or the Fund to comply with said documents, laws or regulations or the failure by or inability

 4. Duties of the Trust and the Sponsor. The Trust and the Sponsor shall notify
the Administrator promptly of any matter affecting the performance by the Administrator of its services under this Agreement. Where the Administrator is providing fund accounting services pursuant to this Agreement, the Trust and the Sponsor shall
promptly notify the Administrator as to the accrual of liabilities of the Fund and of liabilities of the Fund not appearing on the books of account kept by the Administrator, as well as to the existence, status and proper treatment of reserves, if

banking and securities laws of the United States or other jurisdictions relating to “Know Your Customer” and money laundering prevention rules and regulations (collectively, the “KYC Requirements”). For purposes of this
subsection, and in connection with all applicable KYC Requirements, the Fund is the “client” or “customer” of the Administrator. The Trust, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Fund, and the Sponsor further represent that each
will perform all obligations required under applicable KYC Requirements with respect to the Fund’s “customers” (as defined in the KYC Requirements) and that, because these customers do not constitute “customers” or
“clients” of the Administrator under such applicable rules and regulations, the Administrator is under no such similar obligations.

liable for, and shall be indemnified by the Fund against any and all losses, costs, damages or expenses arising from or as a result of, any action taken or omitted in reliance upon Instructions or upon any other written notice, request, direction,
instruction, certificate or other instrument believed by it to be genuine and signed or authorized by the proper party or parties. A list of persons no authorized (“Authorized Persons”) by the Sponsor is attached hereto as Appendix B and
upon which the Administrator may rely until its receipt of notification to the contrary from the Trust and/or the Sponsor.

of the Fund. 
 5.3 Telephonic or other oral instructions or instructions given by e-mail or telefax transmission
may be given by any one of the above Authorized Persons and will also be considered instructions if the Administrator believes them to have been given by a person authorized to give such Instructions with respect to the transaction involved.

 5.4 With respect to telefax transmissions, the Trust, on its own behalf and behalf of the Fund, and the
Sponsor hereby acknowledge that (i) receipt of legible instructions cannot be assured, (ii) the Administrator cannot verify that authorized signatures on telefax instructions are original, and (iii) the Administrator shall not be
responsible for losses or expenses incurred through actions taken in reliance on such 

  
 - 3 -









 
telefax instructions. The Trust, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Fund, and the Sponsor agree that such telefax instructions shall he conclusive evidence of the Trust’ s/Sponsor’s
Instruction to the Administrator to act or to omit to act. 
 5.5 Instructions given orally will not be confirmed
in writing and the lack of such confirmation shall in no way affect any action taken by the Administrator in reliance upon such oral Instructions. The Trust and the Sponsor authorize the Administrator to tape record any and all telephonic or other
oral Instructions given to the Administrator by or on behalf of the Fund (including any of the Sponsor’s officers, directors, trustees, employees or agents or any investment manager or adviser or person or entity with similar responsibilities
which is authorized to give Instructions on behalf of the Fund to the Administrator.) 
 6. Expenses and
Compensation. For the services to be rendered and the facilities to be furnished by the Administrator as provided for in this Agreement, the Sponsor and/or the Fund shall pay the Administrator rendered pursuant to this Agreement a fee based
on such fee schedule as may from time to time be agreed upon in writing among the Sponsor, the Trust, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Fund, and the Administrator. Additional services performed by the Administrator on behalf of the Fund as
requested by the Sponsor or the Trust shall be subject to additional fees as mutually agreed from time to time. In addition to any such fees, the Administrator shall bill the Fund separately for any out-of-pocket disbursements of the Administrator
based on an out-of-pocket disbursement schedule as may from time to time be agreed upon in writing among the Sponsor, the Trust, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Fund, and the Administrator. The foregoing fees and disbursements shall be billed
to the Fund by the Administrator and shall be paid promptly by wire transfer or other appropriate means by the Sponsor and/or the Fund to the Administrator. 
 7. Standard of Care. The Administrator shall be held to the exercise of reasonable care and diligence in carrying out the provisions of this Agreement, provided that the Administrator shall
not thereby be required to take any action which is in contravention of any applicable law, rule or regulation or any order or judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction. 
 8. General Limitations on Liability.

Administrator in the performance of its obligations and duties as provided in Section 3 hereof, including without limitation any error of judgment or mistake of law, except a loss, damage or expense directly resulting from the
Administrator’s willful malfeasance, had faith or negligence in the performance of such Administrator’s obligations and duties. 
 8.4 The Administrator agrees to look solely to the assets of the Fund and to the Sponsor and its assets in respect of any claim against or obligation of the Fund. The Administrator acknowledges and agrees
that liability of the Fund, as a series of the Trust, is limited pursuant to Section 3804(a) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, such that (a) the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing
with respect to the Fund shall be enforceable against the assets of the Fund only, and not against the assets of the Trust generally or the assets of any other series of the Trust, and (b) none of the debts, liabilities, obligations and
expenses incurred, contracted for, or otherwise existing with respect to the Trust generally and any other series of the Trust shall be enforceable against the assets of the Fund.

9.1.4 below. 

  
 - 5 -









 9.1.1 The parties hereto acknowledge that the
Administrator’s causing an error or delay in the determination of NAV may, but does not in and of itself, constitute negligence or reckless or willful misconduct. The parties further acknowledge that in accordance with industry practice the
liability of the Administrator for fluid accounting services shall accrue and the recalculation of NAV shall be performed in accordance with this Section 9.1 only with regard to errors in the calculation of the NAV that are (i) greater
than or equal to $.01 per unit of the Fund and (ii) greater than or equal to  1/2% of the total net assets of the Fund. 
 9.1.2 In no event
shall the Administrator be liable or responsible to the Sponsor, the Trust, the Fund, the Fund’s commodity broker, the Fund’s commodity trading advisor (if any), any present or former unitholder of the Fund, or any other person for any
error or delay that continued or was undetected after the date of an audit performed by the certified public accountants employed by or on behalf of the Fund if, in the exercise of reasonable care in accordance with generally accepted accounting
standards, such accountants should have become aware of such error or delay in the course of performing such audit. 
 9.1.3 The Administrator shall not be held accountable or liable to the Sponsor, the Trust, the Fund, the Fund’s commodity broker, the Fund’s commodity trading advisor (if any), any unitholder or
former unitholder of the Fund or any other person for any delays or losses, damages or expenses any of them may suffer or incur resulting from (i) the Administrator’s usage of a third party service provider for the purpose of storing
records delivered to the Administrator by or on behalf of the Fund and which the Administrator did not create in the performance of its obligations hereunder; (ii) the Administrator’s failure to receive timely and suitable notification
concerning quotations or corporate actions relating to or affecting portfolio securities of the Fund; or (iii) any errors in the computation of NAV based upon or arising out of quotations or information as to corporate actions if received by
the Administrator either (a) from a source which the Administrator was authorized to rely upon (including those sources listed on Appendix C), or (b) from a source which in the Administrator’s reasonable judgment was as reliable a
source for such quotations or information as such authorized sources; or (iv) any errors in the computation of NAV as a result of relevant information known to the Sponsor, the Trust, the Fund, a futures commission merchant, securities brokers
or dealers, or any of the Fund’s other service providers including futures commission merchants in contract with respect to the Fund, which would impact the calculation of NAV, but was not communicated to the Administrator. To the extent that
Fund assets are not in the custody of the Administrator, the Administrator may conclusively rely on any reporting in connection with such assets provided to the Administrator by a third party on behalf of the Fund, including, without limitation any
futures commission merchant. 
 9.1.4 In the event of any error or delay in the determination of such NAV for
which the Administrator may be liable, the Sponsor and the 

  
 - 6 -









 
Administrator will consult and make good faith efforts to reach agreement on what actions should be taken in order to mitigate any loss suffered by the Fund or its present or former unitholders,
in order that the Administrator’s exposure to liability shall be reduced to the extent possible after taking into account all relevant factors and alternatives. It is understood that in attempting to reach agreement on the actions to be taken
or the amount of the loss which should appropriately be borne by the Administrator, the Sponsor, the Fund and the Administrator will consider such relevant factors as the amount of the loss involved, the Fund’s/Sponsor’s desire to avoid
loss of unitholder goodwill, the fact that other persons or entities could have been reasonably expected to have detected the error sooner , than the time it was actually discovered, the appropriateness of limiting or eliminating the benefit which
unitholders or former unitholders might have obtained by reason of the error, and the possibility that other parties providing services to the Fund might be induced to absorb a portion of the loss incurred,

 APPENDIX D 
 BBH Pricing Policies  
 Futures, Forwards, Swaps, Options
and Treasuries 
 The pricing policies stated below are used for all BBH clients-, including Mutual Fund Registered Investment
Companies. These policies have been audited by numerous accounting firms during annual fund audits. 
 Futures 

Futures traded on exchanges are valued using the closing settlement prices quoted on the relevant exchange and obtained from pricing sources, typically
Bloomberg or Reuters. 
 Forward Currency Contracts 
 BBH obtains the WM Reuters London Close closing spot rates and the WM Reuters London Close forward point rates on a daily basis. The currency forward contract pricing model derives the differential in
point rates to the expiration date of the forward and calculates its present value. The forward is valued at the net of the present value and the spot rate. 
 Swaps 
 Swaps and other similar derivative or contractual type instruments are valued at a
price provided by a single broker or dealer, typically the counterparty. If no such price is available, the contract is valued at a price at which the counterparty to such contract would repurchase the instrument or terminate the contract.

 Options 

Option contracts on securities, currencies, indices, futures contracts, commodities and other instruments shall be valued at the last sale
price on the exchange or market that is the Primary Market. If a contract did not trade on the Primary Market, it shall be valued at the last sale price on another exchange or market where it did trade. If there is no such sale price, the value
shall be the most recent bid quotation. 
 Sale prices and bid quotations indicated above shall be supplied by a Pricing Service (Reuters,
Bloomberg, IDC, etc.). If a Pricing Service is not able to provide such sale prices or bid quotations, the value shall be determined by taking the mean between the bid and the asked quotations provided by a single broker or dealer, unless the broker
or dealer can only provide a bid quotation, in which case the value shall be such bid quotation. 
 Except as provided below. OTC currency
options are valued by uploading the applicable implied volatility rates from Reuters or Bloomberg. Other inputs are either uploaded (interest rates, spots) or are specified when the ticker symbols are set up (expiration date, strike). OTC currency
options are then priced by using the Garman-Kohlhagen modified Black-Scholes formula, which adjusts for a constant yield versus a fixed dividend. 
 Except as provided below, OTC equity/index options are priced according to the contract specifications (days to expiration, current spot index level, interest rates, dividends, strike price) using the
Black-Scholes pricing model, modified for dividends. The volatility input assumption is interpolated from the previous day’s price. 

US Treasuries 
 BBH uses an evaluated bid
supplied by IDC for treasury prices.
