Item 5 – Fees and Compensation

5(A)1 Description of Fees for Premium Financial Planning Services
Premium Financial Planning Services are offered at both an hourly rate and a flat fee for a financial plan. Financial
planning is offered at $425 per hour or a fixed rate of $3,850 for a comprehensive financial plan. Lower fees for
comparable services may be available from other investment advisers or financial planners. Financial planning
fees are negotiable. The exact fee and services agreed upon will be described in your Premium Financial Planning
Agreement.

5(B)1 Payment Methods
Generally, clients are invoiced monthly in advance for financial planning services performed on an hourly basis.
When entering into a flat fee arrangement for a financial plan, we generally require a 100% upfront payment due
prior to the completion of the financial plan.

5(C)1 Other Fees and Expenses
Financial planning services generally recommend the implementation of the financial plan through the purchase
and/or sale of securities and insurance products. Implementation of a financial plan will incur additional costs, such
as custodial fees and brokerage fees which prospective clients should carefully review. Furthermore, the Firm may
recommend its Platinum Investment Advisory Service for investment management. This represents a material
conflict of interest.

5(D)1 Termination Provisions, Refunds, and Assignments
Prior to initiating financial planning services, the Client will be required to enter into a written Premium Financial
Planning Services Agreement ("Agreement"), which sets forth the terms and conditions of the engagement; and
describes the scope of services provided. The Agreement may be ongoing (in the case of hourly financial planning)
and may be terminated by the Client upon receipt of a termination notice.
The Client may terminate the Agreement within five (5) business days of executing the Agreement at no cost. After
the five-day period, the Client will be responsible for fees incurred to date based on the number of hours worked
at the hourly rate or the percentage completion for a fixed fee engagement. Any prepaid fees exceeding the amount
due to the Advisor for services rendered shall be refunded to the Client.

5(A)2 Description of Fees for Platinum Investment Advisory Services

Platinum Investment Advisory Services ("Platinum Service") calculates its fee at the annual rate of 1.00% of assets
under management ("AUM"). AUM is based on the account value of each account. Lower fees for comparable
services may be available from other investment advisers. Fees for related accounts may be negotiable for purposes

of calculating assets under management. In calculating your market value, assets allocated to cash or a cash proxy,
such as a money market fund, will be included in the calculation of assets under management. This prevents a
conflict of interest. Otherwise, we would benefit from your account containing less cash and more investments.
Note the "annualized fee" excludes brokerage costs such as commissions, markups, markdowns, ticket charges,
and underlying mutual fund expenses. Aventine does not receive or share in any such fees.
Generally, the Firm will recommend the purchase of exchange-traded funds ("ETFs" or mutual funds as part of its
Platinum Service. When purchasing ETFs or mutual funds, effectively, Clients are subject to two (2) layers of fees:
1) Direct advisory fee of 1.00% as stated above, and
2) Indirect advisory fees (that is, the advisory fee paid by the mutual fund to the adviser of the mutual fund.
For a detailed treatment of brokerage costs, please carefully review"Item 12 – Brokerage Practices".

5(B)2 – Payment Methods
Fees for Platinum Services are deducted on a monthly basis at the annualized rate of 1.00%, payable in advance of
each month, based upon the account value at the end of the preceding month. The fee in the first month of the
Agreement shall be waived to the end of the first month.

When utilizing Aventine's qualified custodian, Schwab, fees are deducted directly from client accounts. Clients will
receive custody statements from Schwab no less frequently than quarterly. Should you believe that your fee is calculated
incorrectly, please contact Aventine promptly to resolve the issue.

5(C)2 Other Fees and Expenses
In connection with Platinum Services, implementation will generally include the purchase and/or sale of securities.
Implementation will incur additional costs, such as custodial fees and brokerage fees which prospective clients should
carefully review. Please refer to "Item 12 – Brokerage Practices" and "Item 13 – Custody".

5(D)2 – Termination Provisions, Refunds, and Assignments
Prior to providing Platinum Services, the Client will be required to enter into a written Platinum Investment Advisory
Agreement ("Agreement"). The Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of the engagement and describes the
scope of services to be provided. Each Agreement is ongoing and may be canceled by the Client for any reason upon
receipt of written notice. Furthermore, the Client may terminate the Agreement within five (5) business days of signing
this Agreement at no cost. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for Platinum Services rendered to the
point of termination, and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Any unearned prepaid fees will be promptly
refunded by Aventine.
