Appendix A to Schedule 1

NET ASSET VALUE ERROR CORRECTION POLICY & PROCEDURES

1. Definitions

As used in the Schedule to which this Exhibit 3 is attached, the following terms shall have the meaning hereinafter stated:

“Fund” means an investment fund for which X.X. Xxxxxx provides NAV calculation services under the Agreement.

“Fund Benefit” means a situation where a Fund has either paid insufficient redemption proceeds as a result of an understatement of NAV or received excessive subscription proceeds as a result of an overstatement of NAV. When such a Fund Benefit occurs, the individual Unitholders effecting transactions suffer a corresponding loss (a “Unitholder Loss”).

“Fund Loss” refers to a situation where a Fund has either paid excessive redemption proceeds as a result of an overstatement of the NAV or received insufficient subscription proceeds as a result of an understatement of the NAV. When such a Fund Loss occurs, the individual Unitholders effecting transactions received a corresponding benefit.

“NAV” shall mean the net value of a Fund’s assets and liabilities.

“NAV Error” is defined as one or more errors in the computation of net asset value which, when considered cumulatively, result in a difference between the originally computed NAV and the corrected NAV of at least USD 0.010 (one cent) per Unit. This computation is based upon the actual difference and is not based upon any rounding of the NAV.

“NAV Error Period” comprises those days during which a NAV Error existed.

“Net Fund Loss (Benefit) Amount” means an amount equal to the difference between (i) the aggregate amount of Fund Losses less (ii) the aggregate amount of Fund Benefits arising out of a given NAV Error. This amount shall be a “Net Fund Loss Amount” when a positive number and a “Net Fund Benefit Amount” when a negative number.

“Per Unit NAV” shall mean the result obtained by dividing a Fund’s NAV by the number of existing Units of the Fund. In determining Unit value, fractions will be taken to two or four decimal places, as agreed upon with the Customer. Unit value shall be determined as of each valuation date before taking into account additions to and withdrawals from the Fund occurring as of such valuation date.

“Per Unit NAV Error” is the difference between the originally computed per Unit NAV, and the amount that would have been computed had the errors not occurred.

“Unitholder” means a holder of one or more Units.

“Units” means the units or shares issued by the Fund.

The term “responsible person” means one or more persons who, by virtue of negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct, caused or contributed to an NAV Error.

2. General Principles

X.X. Xxxxxx shall not be liable for any Unitholder Loss, Fund Loss or Net Fund Loss Amount in the absence of X.X. Xxxxxx’x negligence. X.X. Xxxxxx shall not be liable for (i) the accuracy or completeness of any information provided to X.X. Xxxxxx by the Investment Adviser or any Information Provider, (ii) values stated by the trustee of any group trust, including common and collective funds (each, a “Group Trust”), which shall be reported at the value stated by the trustee of the Group Trust

26

(other than when X.X. Xxxxxx is the trustee), (iii) the net asset value or other unit or share value as announced by any limited partnership, limited liability company, investment company, or other fund or its operator, (iv) any redemption fees, surrender charges or similar fees or charges imposed on any investment held by the Fund; or (v) NAV errors, as described in Section 3(a) below.

3. Error Correction Procedures

The following procedures will be utilized by X.X. Xxxxxx with respect to NAV error corrections:

(a) If the error in the computation of the net asset value is less than USD 0.010 (one cent) per Unit, no action shall be taken.

(b) If a Per Unit NAV Error is less than ¹⁄₂ of 1% (one half of one percent) of the originally computed Per Unit NAV, X.X. Xxxxxx, on behalf of the Fund, will determine whether total Fund Losses exceeded total Fund Benefits for the NAV Error Period. If the Fund incurred a Net Fund Loss Amount, the Customer will be responsible for obtaining reimbursement for such loss from the responsible person or persons. If the Fund had a Net Fund Benefit Amount, no action needs to be taken; however, such Net Fund Benefit Amount should not be carried forward to any analyses performed in the future for other NAV Errors that may arise.

(c) If the Per Unit NAV Error equals or exceeds ¹⁄₂ of 1% (one half of one percent) of the originally computed Per Unit NAV, 1) account adjustments should be made to compensate Unitholders for Unitholder Losses, and 2) the Customer will be responsible for obtaining reimbursement for such loss from the responsible person or persons for Fund Losses.

(i) With respect to individual Unitholder Losses, the Customer will be responsible for causing the Fund (or responsible party) to pay to individual Unitholders any additional redemption proceeds owed and either refund excess subscription monies paid or credit the Unitholder account as of the date of the NAV Error, for additional Units. Nevertheless, no correction of a given individual Unitholder account shall be made unless the applicable Unitholder Loss for such Unitholder equals or exceeds a de minimis amount of USD 25 (twenty-five dollars).

(ii) With respect to Fund Losses, the Customer will be responsible for causing either the responsible person or persons or the individual Unitholders to reimburse the Fund for the amount of the Fund Losses. (Note that there is no netting of Fund Losses (as described in (b) above) where the error equals or exceeds ¹⁄₂ of 1% (one half of one percent) of NAV, to the extent benefits were paid out by the Fund to Unitholders as account adjustments).

(d) In the case of an NAV Error that fluctuates above and below ¹⁄₂ of 1% (one half of one percent), individual Unitholder adjustments should be effected for those days where the NAV Error was equal to or exceeded ¹⁄₂ of 1% (one half of one percent). With respect to the remaining days, the Fund level process described above in Section 3(a) above shall apply.

(e) If there is a subsequent discovery of an error which affects a NAV Error Period that had previously been corrected in the manner described above, the subsequently discovered NAV Error should be analyzed in isolation without taking into consideration the previously corrected NAV Errors.

(f) In cases where an NAV Error (as described in (c) above) has occurred, the Customer, upon X.X. Xxxxxx’x request, will instruct the Transfer Agent to reprocess transactions and to adjust each Unitholder’s Units upwards or downwards accordingly, at the expense of the responsible person or persons. If the Transfer Agent does not agree to reprocess transactions resulting from an NAV Error for which X.X. Xxxxxx is a

27

responsible person, X.X. Xxxxxx’x liability will be limited to the amount it would have been liable for had the reprocessing occurred.

(g) In cases where X.X. Xxxxxx is not the responsible person with regard to an NAV Error, X.X. Xxxxxx shall be entitled to reasonable compensation from the Customer or the Fund for the work it performs with respect to the remediation of the NAV Error.

(h) In cases where X.X. Xxxxxx is a responsible person with regard to an NAV Error, but not the sole responsible person and the other responsible persons were not engaged by X.X. Xxxxxx, the Customer or the Fund, to the extent customary under industry practice, shall seek recovery from each such responsible person, for its proportional share of the applicable Fund Loss, Net Fund Loss Amount or Unitholder Loss, as applicable.
