Emerald Advisers LLC

Item 5: Fees and Compensation

EA LLC’s fees are based on a percentage of assets under management and are billed
quarterly in arrears. Fees are based on the total portfolio values, including accruals,
as of the last business day of the month. Client payment is due to the adviser
promptly after billing, which is generally mailed at the beginning of the next
calendar quarter. EA LLC may request payment directly from a client’s account
provided that the client has agreed to the arrangement by singing the management
agreement and the client receives copies of all invoices paid. Bills for new accounts
activated during the calendar quarter will be pro-rated so that the client pays only
for the period of time during which the account was actually managed by the
adviser. The management agreement can be terminated by either party with thirty
days written notice to the other party by regular U.S. mail. No fee will be charged if a
new client terminates within five business days after signing the management
agreement.

Our current fee schedule is:

For the first $10,000,000 in assets: .20% per quarter
For assets over $10,000.000: .15% per quarter

Due to the specific nature of certain client investment programs, these fees can be
negotiated depending on the objectives and relative complexity of managing the
account.
