Depending on specific circumstances, fees are subject to negotiation. McDonald Partners will
not change any fees without prior written notice to and acceptance by the client. The Financial
Advisor’s Fee is included in the total investment management fee charged by the Firm and is
paid by the Firm to the Financial Advisor.

For clients of CapTrust Financial Advisors that are invested in Michigan municipal tax-free
bonds, CapTrust Financial Advisors have determined that it is cheaper for the client to
purchase these securities in a brokerage account, where the Financial Advisor receives a
commission on the trade, as opposed to placing the asset in the client’s advisory account and
charging a fee based on the client’s assets under management. In the event the Client does
not have a brokerage account with McDonald Partners, Michigan municipal tax-free bonds can
be purchased in the client’s advisory account and the advisory fee is not charged on those
assets. The Financial Advisor will still receive a commission for the purchase or sale of the
bonds.

The advisory fee on client assets invested in the Funds is waived until such time that the total
dollar amount of advisory fees waived equals or exceeds the placement fee charged. The fees
to be charged on these assets are based on the estimated fair value of the Funds and will not
exceed the maximum advisory fees set forth in Item 5 Fees and Compensation.

Financial Planning Fees
McDonald Partners provides financial planning services both as a one-time fee based
offering and as a subscription based offering.

   One-Time Fee Based Offering
   You will be charged a flat fee determined by the Financial Advisor based on the complexity
   of the services provided.

                                    McDonald Partners LLC – Form ADV Part 2A Brochure – Page 13

Subscription based offering
You are provided with a choice of Clientship levels defined by the planning services offered
under each level. Clientship levels are “Foundation”, “Growth” and “Legacy”. You and your
Financial Advisor agree on the clientship level.

   Foundation                                                             $4,000 annually

   Growth                                                                 $7,500 annually

   Legacy                                                                 $10,000 annually

Account Termination and Fees

In the event of account termination of our services, you will only be charged for the days
your account was under management. You may terminate this agreement with us at any
time by written notice to us.

Account termination notices should be sent to McDonald Partners LLC, 1301 East 9th
Street, Suite 3700, Cleveland, OH 44114 or by email to your Financial Advisor at his or her
respective email address. The client can also terminate the Investment Management
Agreement within five days of execution and receive a full refund of any fees charged
under the program. However, in such case, the client will be responsible for fees and/or
commissions charged on trades executed prior to the receipt of such notice by McDonald
Partners.

Fees for advisory accounts managed by McDonald Partners are computed and payable
quarterly or monthly in arrears (unless you have negotiated a different payment
arrangement) on the valuation of your assets under management on the last day of the
quarter, depending on the agreement between the client and McDonald Partners. The
value on the final day of the quarter, or month, as the case may be, is multiplied by the
portion of your annual fee attributable to that month or quarter (calculated by dividing the
annual fee by 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) then multiplying the quotient by the
number of days in the given month or quarter). Fees will automatically be deducted from
your account on or about the 15th day following the end of each quarter or month, as the
case may be, unless you have arranged for an alternative method of payment. The fee
does not include certain dealer markups or markdowns, odd lot differentials, transfer
taxes, exchange fees (among which SEC fees are included), and any other fees required by
law. The valuation used to calculate the fee is provided by RBC CS for publicly traded
securities.

Fees for advisory accounts managed by RBC Advisors are computed and payable
quarterly or monthly in advance on the valuation of your assets under management on
the last day of the quarter. The value on the final day of the quarter is multiplied by the
portion of your annual fee attributable to that month or quarter (calculated by dividing the
