the engagement or meeting.

For engagements estimated to require greater than three (3) hours, we require a deposit of fifty percent

calculated by assessing the percentage rates using the predefined levels of assets as shown in the above
chart and applying the fee to the average daily balance as of the last day of the previous month or quarter.
If the average daily balance is not available, the ending account value from the previous month or quarter
will be used; or if those are unavailable, the ending account balance from the most reliable past date
recorded will be used. No increase in the annual fee shall be effective without agreement from the client
by signing a new agreement or amendment to their current advisory agreement.

Advisory fees are directly debited from client accounts, or the client may choose to pay by check. Specific
instructions for how accounts are debited is recorded on Schedule B of Client’s agreement. For fees paid

in advance, accounts initiated or terminated during a calendar month will be charged a pro-rated fee
based on the amount of time remaining in the billing period. For fees paid in arrears, no refund will be
needed upon termination of the account. An account may be terminated with written notice at least 30
calendar days in advance.
