Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them under the Agreement (defined below).
WHEREAS, the Trust and BBH&Co. executed a Custodian Agreement dated as of May 16, 2019, as amended (the “Agreement”);
WHEREAS, the SBH Fundamental International Small Cap Fund and the SBH Workplace Equality Fund (the “Liquidating Funds”) previously liquidated;
WHEREAS the Trust desires to terminate the Agreement in respect of the Liquidating Funds and to amend Appendix A of the Agreement by removing the Liquidating Funds to reflect such termination and to make certain other revisions to the list of Funds included on Schedule A;
WHEREAS, Section 15.1 of the Agreement provides for termination by either party on seventy-five (75) days’ notice, and 12.2 of the Agreement provides for the amendment or modification of the Agreement by a written document signed by an authorized representative of each party;

The Trust and BBH&Co. agree that, unless otherwise agreed in writing, the effective date of said termination shall be August 1, 2023. |
2. | Appendix A is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the Appendix A as attached hereto. |
3. | Except as modified by this Amendment, the Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force, and specifically, for avoidance of doubt, in respect of the Trust and each of the remaining Funds set forth on Appendix A. |
4. | This Amendment may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
