The fees paid to the Adviser are allocated between the classes <strong>of</strong> shares based upon the amount <strong>of</strong> assets in each such<br />
class.<br />
As compensation for its advisory and administrative services under the Advisory Agreements, the Adviser is paid a<br />
monthly fee based on the average daily NAV <strong>of</strong> each Fund, at the following annual rates:<br />
Annual Advisory Fee<br />
(as a percentage <strong>of</strong><br />
Fund<br />
average daily<br />
net assets)<br />
Mighty Mites Fund 1.00%<br />

Mid-Cap Equity Fund 1.00%<br />
Income Fund 1.00%<br />
Equity Fund 1.00%<br />

Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Adviser pays Westwood out <strong>of</strong> its advisory fees with respect to the Equity Fund,<br />
Balanced Fund, and Intermediate Bond Fund, a fee computed daily and payable monthly in an amount equal on an<br />
annualized basis to the greater <strong>of</strong> (i) $150,000 per year on an aggregate basis for the Funds or (ii) 35% <strong>of</strong> the net<br />
revenues to the Adviser from the Funds. With respect to the SmallCap Equity, Mid-Cap Equity, Income, and<br />
Intermediate Bond Funds, the Board has approved expense limitation agreements under which the Adviser has<br />
contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fees and/or reimburse the Funds’ expenses to the extent necessary<br />
to maintain the Funds’ total annual operating expenses (excluding brokerage costs, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and<br />
expenses and extraordinary expenses) at the levels set forth in the fee tables <strong>of</strong> the current prospectuses until at least<br />
January 31, 2015. Thereafter, the agreement may only be terminated or amended to increase these expense caps as <strong>of</strong><br />
January 31 <strong>of</strong> each calendar year, provided that in the case <strong>of</strong> a termination by the Adviser, the Adviser will provide the<br />
Board with written notice <strong>of</strong> its intention to terminate the agreement prior to the expiration <strong>of</strong> its then current term. In<br />
addition, each <strong>of</strong> the SmallCap Equity, Income and Intermediate Bond Funds has agreed, during the two-year period<br />
following any waiver or reimbursement by the Adviser, and the Mid-Cap Equity Fund has agreed during the three-year<br />
period following any waiver or reimbursement by the Adviser, to repay such amount to the extent, after giving effect to<br />
the repayment, such adjusted Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses would not exceed the amount <strong>of</strong> the specified<br />
expense cap on an annualized basis.<br />
