Investing Program account.
The Guided Investing Program Fee will be assessed monthly in advance based on the value of the Guided
Investing Program assets at the end of the previous month. The initial monthly Guided Investing Program Fee
charged when the Guided Investing Program account is established will be prorated by the number of days
remaining in the calendar month unless the Guided Investing Program account is funded on the first day
of the calendar month. Guided Investing Program Fees and expenses will be payable first from the withdrawal
or liquidation by FCIS of cash funds or any cash equivalents in the Guided Investing Program account; if these
assets are insufficient to cover the Guided Investing Program Fees and expenses owed, the Guided Investing
