Pursuant to Article 4, each Fund shall pay LSA Asset Management LLC compensation

1. Focused Equity Fund: 0.95% of the current net assets of the Fund.
2. Growth Equity Fund: 0.85% of the current net assets of the Fund.
3. Disciplined Equity Fund: 0.75% of the current net assets of the Fund.
4. Value Equity Fund: 0.80% of the current net assets of the Fund.
5. Balanced Fund: 0.80% of the current net assets of the Fund.
6. Emerging Growth Equity Fund: 1.05% of the current net assets of the Fund.
7. Aggressive Growth Fund: 0.95% of the current net assets of the Fund.

The Percentage Fee for each Fund shall be accrued for each calendar
day and the sum of the daily fee accruals shall be payable monthly to the
Manager. The daily fee accruals will be computed by multiplying the fraction of
one over the number of calendar days in the year by the applicable annual rate
described in the preceding paragraph, and multiplying this product by the net
assets of the Fund as determined in accordance with the Trust's prospectus and
statement of additional information as of the close of business on the previous
business day on which the Trust was open for business.
If this Agreement becomes effective or terminates before the end of
any month, the fee for the period from the effective date to the end of such
month or from the beginning of such month to the date of termination, as the
case may be, shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period
bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination occurs.
