Fees to be assessed will be outlined in the advisory agreement to be signed by the client. Annualized
fees are billed on a pro-rata basis monthly in arrears based on the value of the account(s) on the last
day of the month. Fees are negotiable and will be deducted from client account(s). Our firm reserves
the right to waive or reduce fees from time to time on an individual account basis. In rare cases, our
firm will agree to directly invoice. Unless otherwise noted in writing, our firm bills on cash. As part
of this process, Clients understand the following:
a) The client’s independent custodian sends statements at least quarterly showing the market
values for each security included in the Assets and all account disbursements, including the
amount of the advisory fees paid to our firm;
b) Clients will provide authorization permitting our firm to be directly paid by these terms. Our
firm will send an invoice directly to the custodian; and
c) If our firm sends a copy of our invoice to the client, a legend urging the comparison of
information provided in our statement with those from the qualified custodian will be
included.

fees for services rendered to the point of termination will be charged. If advisory fees cannot be
deducted, our firm will send an invoice for due advisory fees to the client.
