McDonnell Wealth Management LLC

Item 5 - Fees and Compensation

McDonnell Capital provides a comprehensive and integrated suite of services in a fee-based
environment. McDonnell Capital does not accept commissions or any compensation from
third-parties, which means 100% of compensation comes directly from clients. Annual fees are
generally based on a percentage of the client’s total assets under management, and integrated
financial planning and our Goals Based Wealth Management process is typically inclusive.
Clients may choose to limit the scope of the engagement, in which clients generally pay an
hourly or fixed fee schedule for certain advisory services.

Investment Management Fees and Compensation
McDonnell Capital Management charges an annual asset-based fee for Investment
Management services.

The advisory fee will be calculated as a percentage of the market value of all assets in the
client’s account(s) on the first trading day of each calendar quarter.

The standard fee schedule is as follows:

Range                                 Percentage
First $500,000                        1.25%
Next portion up to $2,000,000         1.00%
Next portion up to $5,000,000         0.85%
Above $5,000,000                      0.75%

This is a blended fee schedule. This means that the assets in a client’s account will be billed at
different levels according to the fee schedule above. For example, if a client had an account
value of $7,000,000.00 then the following equation would be used to calculate their quarterly
fee: ($500,000 x 1.25%) + ($1,500,000 x 1.00%) + ($3,000,000 x 0.85%) + ($2,000,000 x 0.75%) =
$61,750.00 /4 = $15,437.50 which is 0.88% of the total amount.

McDonnell Capital Management has established a minimum quarterly fee of $500 for
Investment Management services. As such, our comprehensive service structure is designed for
the client with a minimum of $160,000 of liquid and/or investable assets.

Integrated Financial Planning Fees and Compensation
The fee for an engagement limited to financial planning will be based on the size, scope and
nature of each project, and will be determined and communicated prior to entering into the
agreement. Fees for this type of engagement can be either hourly or fixed, based on client
preference. For example, a client in need of a stand-alone and straightforward retirement plan
may choose a fixed cost engagement. The fixed cost engagement typically ranges from $2,000
to $5,000. The minimum fixed fee for a comprehensive financial plan is $2,000, and the range
for both fixed and hourly agreements adjust for complexities in the client’s financial situation,

which include, but are not limited to client net worth and income, number of related persons,
accreditation of investors, and hours spent meeting with the client. Fees range from $200-$400
per hour, which similarly adjusts for complexities within the client’s financial situation (as
described above). For fixed cost agreements, one half of the project cost will be billed at the
time of the agreement and the remainder is payable at the presentation of the deliverable. The
relationship will typically end at the completion of the project.

Employee Retirement and Benefit Plan Consulting
McDonnell Capital Management charges an annual asset-based fee for all consulting,
investment advisory, and participant education services related to retirement and benefit
plans.

The advisory fee will be calculated as a percentage of the market value of all assets in the plan
on the first trading day of each calendar quarter.

The standard fee schedule is as follows:

Plan Assets                           Percentage
First $1,000,000                      1.00%
Next portion up to $5,000,000         0.65%
Next Portion up to $15,000,000        0.50%
Above $15,000,000                     Negotiable

This is a blended fee schedule. This means that the assets in the plan will be billed at different
levels according to the fee schedule above. For example, if a client had an account value of
$7,000,000.00 then the following equation would be used to calculate their quarterly fee:
($1,000,000 x 1.00%) + ($4,00,000 x 0.65%) + ($2,000,000 x 0.50%) = $46,000.00/4 = $11,500
which is 0.66% of the total amount.

McDonnell Capital Management has established a minimum quarterly fee of $1,000 for
Employee Retirement and Benefit Plan Consulting services. As such, our comprehensive service
structure is designed for the client with a minimum of $400,000 of liquid and/or investable
assets.

Except as detailed in the following section, McDonnell Capital does not reasonably expect to
receive any other compensation, direct or indirect, for its services. If we receive any other
compensation for such services, we will (i) offset that compensation against our stated fees,
and (ii) will disclose the amount of such compensation, the services rendered for such
compensation and the payer of such compensation to you.

Other Advisory Services Fees and Compensation
McDonnell Capital Management may provide other investment advisory services, including
Investment Policy Statement creation, investment advice, educational seminars or other
financial planning on a project or one-time basis. Fees for this type of engagement are typically

billed hourly, at a rate from $200-$400 per hour depending on complexity. One half of the
expected fee is due at the time of the written agreement, and the remainder is payable at the
presentation of the deliverable. The relationship will typically end at the completion of the
project.
