Mendota Financial Group LLC

Item 5 - Fees and Compensation
 Fees paid to MFG are for MFG advisory services only. The fees do not include, for example, the fees charged by third
 parties such as third-party managers, or accountants and attorneys assisting with providing the client with accounting
 and legal advice. Commissions on transactions and other account fees will also be charged by brokerage firms in
 accordance with the brokerage firm’s normal commission schedule. See Item 12, Brokerage Practices.

 Prospective clients should be aware that in addition to MFG's advisory fees, each mutual fund, annuity
 sub-fund and exchange-traded fund in which a client's assets are invested also pays its own advisory fees
 and other internal expenses which already have been deducted from the reported fund’s performance.
 Depending on the fund, a client may be able to invest directly in the shares issued by the fund with or
 without incurring any sales or third-party management fees. Account maintenance fees are also deducted
 by the custodian.

 There are tax effects pertaining to fund share redemptions, and other sales, made by MFG on behalf of
 clients. Redemptions and sales may be taxable events which may accelerate the recognition of capital
 gains, and losses, and frequent redemptions and sales may result in short-term, rather than long-term,
 capital gains and losses.

 Financial Consulting Services Fee
 All fees for FCS are negotiable. MFG's fees for providing FCS are typically charged on a fixed fee basis.
 There is a minimum fee of $2,500.00.

 Prior to engagement, each client signs an FCS Agreement which details the total fee for services. The
 amount of the fee for each analysis depends on the nature and scope of the advice requested by the client.

 Half of the fee is payable upon commencement of services. The remaining half of the fee is payable upon
 delivery of the analysis, however there will never be an instance where $1,200 or more is charged 6 or
 more months in advance. Payment arrangements are established in the FCS Agreement, but clients
 typically pay fees directly as opposed to having their account debited. The fee may be waived, in whole
 or in part by MFG at its sole discretion, if client elects to retain MFG for IMS.

 The FCS Agreement may be terminated at any time by either party giving the other party written notice.
 A full refund of any fees paid to MFG will be made if the Financial Consulting Services Agreement is
 terminated prior to its completion.
  Investment Management Services Fee
  Fees for MFG Investment Management Services are negotiable and calculated as a percentage of
  the total value of investments under MFG's management at the rates set forth in the Fee Schedule
  below. In addition to this advisory fee there may, depending upon the type of security, be
  transactional and commissions charged by the custodian. Administrative and servicing fees may
  also be charged by the custodian.

All fees due are set forth in each client’s IMS Agreement.

Advisory fees are payable quarterly in advance and are calculated on the basis of the market value
of the investments in the account, including accrued interest and any balances held in money
market funds or other cash equivalents. The fee for the initial quarter is pro-rated for the period
that services are provided. Subsequent fees are based upon the market value of the account as of
the last business day of the previous quarter. Account balances of related accounts may, at MFG’s
discretion, be combined for fee calculation purposes. The fees are applied and prorated for
$100,000 or more of assets added to the account during any quarter, at MFG’s discretion. No pre-
paid fee is returned based upon partial withdrawals by a client. MFG may amend its fee schedule
upon thirty (30) days advance written notice to the client.

Payment arrangements are established in the IMS Agreement, but clients may elect to have the
fee debited directly from their account or pay by check. With the client’s prior permission,
fees are automatically deducted from the client's account when due. MFG will liquidate money
market shares to pay the fee and, if money market shares or cash value are not available, other
investments will be liquidated. Authorization for the deduction of fees from the managed
account is contained in the IMS Agreement. The client may terminate the authorization for
automatic deduction at any time by notifying MFG in writing.

The IMS Agreement may be terminated within 5 days of the signing of the agreement without
penalty. Thereafter, the IMS Agreement may be terminated by fifteen (15) days advance written
notice from either party to the other. Upon termination of the IMS Agreement, any pre-paid and
unearned advisory fees will be prorated and refunded subject to receipt of fifteen (15) days written
notice.

When third-party investment managers are used to manage a portion of the overall portfolio, the
fee is in addition to the management fee for IMS. With client’s prior permission, fees are
automatically deducted from the client’s account when due.

Other Compensation
None.
