**We can impose a minimum annual fee of $2,000 per household. The fee schedule is blended, meaning
that you will be charged the corresponding fee based upon the value of your account at each tier. Clients
may be charged higher or lower fees than the fee schedule above. Some clients may be charged an
overall flat percentage rather than blended.

An annual fee of up to $65 may be assessed on all accounts to cover technology costs.

Our annual portfolio management fee is billed and payable quarterly in advance based on the value of
your account on the last day of the previous quarter.

If the client agreement is executed at any time other than the first day of a calendar quarter, our fees

will apply on a pro rata basis, which means that the advisory fee is payable in proportion to the number
of days in the quarter for which you are a client. Our advisory fee is negotiable, depending on individual
client circumstances.

Charles Schwab & Co., Inc: In addition to the assets in the accounts if $75,000 or more in assets are
deposited into an account after the inception of a quarter, the fee payable with respect to such total
deposited assets will be prorated based on the number of days remaining in the quarter. If more than
$75,000 in assets are withdrawn from an account after the inception of a quarter, the unearned fee with
respect to such assets will be credited towards your next quarter’s fee. Clients may withdraw assets from
the account after providing us with notice. All withdrawals are subject to customary securities
settlement procedures.

LPL Financial Corporation Accounts: If assets are deposited into an account after the inception of a
quarter, the fee payable with respect to such assets will be prorated based on the number of days
remaining in the quarter. If any assets are withdrawn from an account after the inception of a quarter,
the unearned fee with respect to such assets will be credited towards your next quarter’s fee. Clients
may withdraw assets from the account after providing us with notice. All withdrawals are subject to
customary securities settlement procedures.

At our discretion, we may combine the account values of family members living in the same household
to determine the applicable advisory fee. For example, we may combine account values for you and your
minor children, joint accounts with your spouse, and other types of related accounts.

We will invoice you for advisory fees or we will deduct our fee directly from your account through the
qualified custodian holding your funds and securities. We will deduct our fee only when you have given
our firm written authorization permitting the fees to be paid directly from your account. Further, the
qualified custodian will deliver an account statement to you at least quarterly. These account statements
will show all disbursements from your account. You should review all statements for accuracy.
