ITEM 5        FEES AND COMPENSATION

As described in greater detail below, TCPG charges fees based on a percentage of assets under
management and in some cases will charge performance-based fees. The specific fees charged by
TCPG for its advisory services will be set forth in each client’s written agreement. Advisory fees
can be negotiable under certain circumstances and at the sole discretion of TCPG and arrangements
with any particular client can or will differ from those described below. In addition, TCPG can, in
its sole discretion, waive advisory fees in their entirety. Although TCPG believes its advisory fees
are competitive, clients should be aware that lower fees for comparable services can be available
from other sources.

A. Description of Fees; Fee Schedule

    1. Fees Based on a Percentage of Assets Under Management

TCPG generally charges an annual management fee ranging from .5% to .875% based upon a
percentage of a client’s assets under management. TCPG’s investment management fees are
assessed quarterly in arrears and calculated as of the close of business on the last business day of
the calendar quarter.

Should a client open an account during the quarter, management fees will be prorated for assets
held for a partial quarter based on the number of days that the account was open during the quarter.
In the event that TCPG’s services are terminated mid-quarter, the annual fee shall be prorated
through the date of termination as defined in the Agreement and any earned, unpaid balance will
be immediately due and payable by client.

Payment of TCPG’s investment management fees will be deducted from each client’s account on
a quarterly basis by their custodian and paid directly to us, unless otherwise directed in writing by
a client. The consent for deduction of fees is generally contained in the Agreement. Clients’
custodians will deliver a periodic (at least quarterly) account statement directly to clients. The
statements will include all transactions that took place in the account during the period covered
and reflect any fees deducted and paid to us. Clients are encouraged to review their account
statements for accuracy and compare them to the reports received by TCPG. Should there be any
discrepancies Clients’ should rely on the information in their custodian’s account statement.

B. Other Fees and Expenses

Clients should understand that the advisory fees described in the sections above do not include
certain charges imposed by third parties such as custodial fees, mutual fund fees, and expenses.
Client assets can also be subject to transaction costs, retirement plan administration fees (if
applicable), deferred sales charges on mutual funds initially deposited in the account, 12b-1 fees,
odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes
on brokerage accounts and securities transactions.

Client assets invested in mutual funds can be subject to certain fees and expenses imposed directly
by mutual funds to their shareholders, which shall be described in each fund’s prospectus. These
fees will generally include a management fee, other fund expenses, and a possible distribution fee.
If the sponsor also imposes sales charges, a client can pay initial or deferred sales or surrender
charge.

Additionally, clients can incur brokerage commissions and other execution costs charged by the
custodian or executing broker-dealer in connection with transactions for a client’s account. Clients
should further understand that all custodial fees and any other charges, fees and commissions
incurred in connection with transactions for a client’s account will be paid out of the assets in the
account. Please refer to Item 12 of this Brochure entitled “Brokerage Practices” for additional
important information about the brokerage and transactional practices of TCPG.

These fees and expenses are separate from and in addition to the fees charged by TCPG.
Accordingly, the client should review the fees charged by any mutual funds and other investment
products in which the client’s assets are invested, together with the fees charged by TCPG, to fully
understand the total amount of fees to be paid by the client and to thereby evaluate the advisory
services being provided.

In certain cases, account minimums can be waived at the sole discretion of TCPG. Prior to
engaging TCPG to provide any of the investment advisory services described in this Brochure, the
client will be required to enter into a written agreement with TCPG setting forth the terms and
conditions under which TCPG shall render its services.

If a client’s account is a pension or other employee benefit plan governed by the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), TCPG can be a fiduciary to the
plan. In providing our investment management services, the sole standard of care imposed upon
us is to act with the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that
a prudent man acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of
an enterprise of a like character and with like aims. TCPG may provide certain disclosures to the
“responsible plan fiduciary” (as such term is defined in ERISA) in accordance with Section
408(b)(2), regarding the services we provide and the direct and indirect compensation we receive
by such clients. Generally, these disclosures are contained in this Form ADV Part 2A, the client
agreement and/or in separate ERISA disclosure documents, and are designed to enable the ERISA
plan’s fiduciary to: (1) determine the reasonableness of all compensation received by TCPG; (2)
identify any potential conflicts of interests; and (3) satisfy reporting and disclosure requirements
to plan participants.
