A. Fees for Advisory Services
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management and investment advisory fees are paid monthly in advance based on the fair market value of
portfolio assets under management in the Account[s] at the end of the prior month. Investment advisory fees are
based on the following schedule:

     Total Assets Under Management (By Family) ($)                             Annual Rate (%)
     First $1,000,000                                                            Up to 1.50%
     Greater than $1,000,000 – Less than or equal to $5,000,000                  Up to 1.25%
     Greater than $5,000,000 – Less than or equal to $10,000,000                 Up to 1.00%
     Greater than $10,000,000                                                    Up to 0.75%

The investment advisory fee in the first month of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the
end of the first month. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take into
consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by
Axiom will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s
valuation to ensure accurate billing.

The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and custody fees, and other
related costs and expenses described in Item 5.C below, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor
shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.

Use of Independent Managers
As noted in Item 4, the Advisor in certain situations will implement all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio
utilizing one or more Independent Managers. To eliminate any conflict of interest, the Advisor does not earn any
compensation from an Independent Manager. The Advisor will only earn its investment advisory fee as described
above. Independent Managers typically do not offer any fee discounts but may have a breakpoint schedule which
will reduce the fee with an increased level of assets placed under management with an Independent Manager. The
terms of such fee arrangements are included in the Independent Manager’s disclosure brochure and applicable
contract[s] with the Independent Manager. The total blended fee, including the Advisor’s fee and the Independent
Manager’s fee, will not exceed 2.00% annually.

Financial Planning Services
Axiom offers financial planning services either on an hourly basis or a fixed engagement fee. Hourly fees range from
$100 to $1,000 per hour. Fixed fees will be based on the estimated number of hours necessary to complete the
engagement. Fees may be negotiable based on the nature and complexity of the services to be provided and the
overall relationship with the Advisor. An estimate for total hours and/or total costs will be provided to the Client prior to
engaging for these services.

Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Retirement plan advisory fees are paid in advance or in arrears and either monthly or quarterly pursuant to the
terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement . and/or according to the plan providers payment practices. Fees
are generally based on the market value of assets in the Plan at the end of the prior calendar quarter and charged
at an annual rate ranging from 0.25% to 1.00% of Plan assets. Fees may also be billed at a fixed annual rate.

B. Fee Billing
Wealth Management and Investment Management Services
Wealth management and investment advisory fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from
the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Advisor shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount of
the fees to be deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the respective month end date. The amount due is calculated
based on the fair market value of portfolio assets under management in the Account[s] at the end of the prior month.
Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the investment
advisory fee. Clients are urged to also review and compare the statement provided by the Advisor to the brokerage

statement from the Custodian, as the Custodian does not perform a verification of fees. Clients provide written
authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by Axiom to be paid directly from their account[s] held by the
Custodian as part of the investment advisory agreement and separate account forms provided by the Custodian.

Use of Independent Managers

deducted from the Client’s account[s] with the respective manager and a portion of the investment advisory fee may
be provided to Axiom.
