Item 5: Fees and Compensation

Model Portfolio Management Fees

The annualized fee for Portfolio Management Services will be charged as a percentage of assets
under management, according to the fee schedule listed below. The fee is prorated and is paid
monthly as determined by us, in arrears, based upon the market value of the assets on the last
day of the previous month as valued by the custodian. The fee for the initial month shall be
calculated on a pro rata basis commencing on the day the assets are initially designated to us
for management under our advisory agreement. No portion of the fee shall be based on capital
gains or capital appreciation of the assets except as provided herein and provided for under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”) and analogous state securities
laws. No increase in the advisory fee shall be effective without prior written notification to you.

If assets are deposited into an account after the inception of a month that exceeds $10,000, the
fee payable with respect to the assets will be prorated based on the number of days remaining
in the month. Clients may withdraw assets from the account after providing us with notice. All
withdrawals are subject to customary securities settlement procedures.

Alpha Dog Advisors’ fee billing information is as follows:

1.25% for $0.00 to $500,000
1.00% for $500,001 to $1,000,000
0.90% for $1,000,001 to $3,000,000
0.75% for $3,000,001 to $10,000,000

0.50% for $10,000,001 and more

Clients have entered into a separate brokerage account agreement with Schwab Institutional that
describes their fees and services.

Alpha Dog Advisors receives a fee of 0.5% for the management of assets from Mid-Atlantic for
each account that uses Alpha Dog Advisors’ model portfolio services. These accounts are
typically 401k participants working with the plan sponsor and the plan investment advisor. Alpha
Dog Advisors does not interact directly with any of the clients of Mid-Atlantic.

Our fees are billed monthly in arrears at the end of each month based upon the value (market
value or fair market value in the absence of market value) of the client's account at the end of the
previous billing period. Consequently, all clients will receive invoices on the first of every month
that will contain detailed itemized fees and expenses. Fees will be debited from the account in
accordance with the client authorization in the Client Services Agreement. Clients authorize us
to invoice the custodian for the management fee and direct and authorize the custodian to deduct
the amount stated in the fee statement from client’s Account. It will be the client’s responsibility
to verify the accuracy of the calculation of the management fee and will acknowledge that the
custodian will not determine whether the management fee is accurate or properly calculated.

Since we charge fees in arrears on a monthly basis, we only charge for services provided. Clients
can leave at any time, and they will only be charged for the prorated services already provided.

Certain fees may be deferred or waived from time to time or may be negotiable at the discretion of
Alpha Dog Advisors.

Other Compensation and Expenses

Representatives of Alpha Dog Advisors may also receive compensation from the insurance
company for the sale of insurance products that is separate from the Management Fees
discussed above. This may present a conflict of interest due to the financial incentive to
recommend such investments based on the compensation received, rather than on the clients'
needs. Generally, the conflict is addressed by disclosing the fact that the client is purchasing an
investment that is separate from the services of Alpha Dog Advisors, and for which
representatives of Alpha Dog Advisors receive a commission. Clients may also pay additional
fees to the insurance for various expenses. It is important, however, that Alpha Dog Advisors will
take into consideration a client’s insurance needs in the context of an overall investment strategy
when evaluating a client's needs. Additional information may be found in the section Other
Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations (Item 10).

Clients should understand that they have the option to purchase investment products that Alpha
Dog Advisors recommends through other insurance brokers or agencies that are not affiliated
with Alpha Dog Advisors.

Alpha Dog Advisors provides current clients with complimentary financial planning services. We

reserve the right to charge for these services but have not charged any client to date.

Referral Compensation. Alpha Dog Advisors may receive compensation from unaffiliated third-
party providers when clients participate in certain enhanced tax-planning programs
recommended or introduced by Alpha Dog Advisors. Alpha Dog Advisors may receive a referral
fee equal to 1.5% of the amount invested or contributed by the client. This compensation creates
a financial incentive for Alpha Dog Advisors to recommend such programs and therefore
presents a conflict of interest. Additional information regarding these arrangements is provided
in Item 14.

Item 7: Types of Clients
Alpha Dog Advisors may provide advisory services to the following types of clients:

   •   Individuals (other than high net worth individuals)

   •   High Net Worth Individuals

   •   Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans (other than plan participants)
   •   Corporations and other businesses

Alpha Dog Advisors’ services are subject to a minimum account size. The minimum account is
typically $500,000 or more; however, Alpha Dog Advisors retains its right to accept clients with
less funds on an individual basis.

If a client’s account is a pension or other employee benefit plan governed by the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), Alpha Dog Advisors is typically
deemed a fiduciary to the plan. As such, our firm is subject to specific duties and obligations under
ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code that include, among other things, restrictions concerning
certain forms of compensation. In providing investment management services, the sole standard
of care imposed upon the Firm is to act with the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the
circumstances then prevailing that a prudent man acting in a like capacity and familiar with such
matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims.
