ITEM 5 - FEES AND COMPENSATION
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES AND COMPENSATION
Our Firm charges a fee as compensation for providing Investment Management services on your
account. These services include advisory services, trade entry, investment supervision, and other
account-maintenance activities. For non-wrap accounts, our custodian charges transaction costs,
custodial fees, redemption fees, retirement plan and administrative fees or commissions. The client
will pay these fees. See Additional Fees and Expenses below for additional details.

The fees for investment management are based on an annual percentage of assets under
management and are billed either monthly or quarterly in advance. The monthly or quarterly fee
will be calculated on the month end or quarter end balance of the account, plus weighted cash
flows. Only flows over $5,000 cash will either be credited or debited to calculate the fee. Fees are
assessed on all assets under management, including securities, cash and money market balances.
Margin account balances are not included in the fee billing.

Our maximum investment advisory fee is 1.75% or we may negotiate a lower advisory fee. The
specific advisory fees are set forth in your Investment Management Agreement. Fees may vary
based on the size of the account, complexity of the portfolio, extent of activity in the account or
other reasons agreed upon by us and you as the client. In certain circumstances, our fees and the
timing of the fee payments may be negotiated. Our employees and their family related accounts
are charged a reduced fee for our services.

Unless otherwise instructed by the Client, we may aggregate related client accounts for the
purposes of determining the account size and annualized fee. The common practice is often

referred to as “house-holding” portfolios for fee purposes and may result in lower fees than if fees
were calculated on portfolios separately. Our method of house-holding accounts for fee purposes
looks at the overall family dynamic and relationship. When applicable and noted in Exhibit A of the
Investment Management Agreement, legacy positions will also be excluded from the fee
calculation.

The independent qualified custodian holding your funds and securities will debit your
account directly for the advisory fee and pay that fee to us. You will provide written
authorization permitting the fees to be paid directly from your account held by the
qualified custodian. Further, the qualified custodian agrees to deliver an account
statement to you on a monthly basis indicating all the amounts deducted from the account
including our advisory fees.

Either Fortis or you may terminate the management agreement immediately upon written
notice to the other party. The management fee will be pro-rated to the date of termination,
for the month in which the cancellation notice was given and the fee will be refunded to
your account. Upon termination, you are responsible for monitoring the securities in your
account, and we will have no further obligation to act or advise with respect to those assets.
In the event of client’s death or disability, Fortis will continue management of the account until we
are notified of client’s death or disability and given alternative instructions by an authorized party.

THIRD PARTY MANAGEMENT (“TPM PROGRAM” OR “TPM”) FEES
Fees and billing methods are outlined in each respective Manager’s Brochure and Advisory
Contract. The Client pays an on-going fee directly to the Manager based upon a percentage of your
assets under management with respect to each Manager. You will receive disclosure of all fees by
the TPM, which include the terms of the compensation arrangement and a description of the
compensation paid, at the time of signing an advisory agreement with the TPM.

The minimum account size for participating in a TPM Program will vary from Manager to Manager.
All such minimums will be disclosed in the respective Manager’s Brochure. Fortis may have the
ability to negotiate such minimums for you.

You may terminate your relationship in accordance with the respective Managers’ disclosure
documents. If you terminate your participation in the Program within five business days of
inception, you will receive a full refund of the fee. Pre-paid fees will be refunded in accordance
with the respective Manager’s agreement and disclosure documents.

A Manager relationship may be terminated at your or your IAR’s discretion. Fortis may at any time
terminate the relationship with a Manager that manages your assets. Fortis will notify you of
instances where we have terminated a relationship with any Manager you are investing with. Fortis
will not conduct on-going supervisory reviews of the Manager following such termination.

Factors involved in the termination of a Manager may include a failure to adhere to their stated
management style or your objectives, regulatory issues, a material change in the professional staff
of the Manager, unexplained poor performance, unexplained inconsistency of account
performance, or our decision to no longer include the Manager on our list of approved Managers.
