Our firm’s fees are billed on a pro-rata annualized basis quarterly in advance based on the value of
your account on the last day of the previous quarter. Our firm bills on cash unless indicated
otherwise in writing. Fees will generally be automatically deducted from your managed account. In
rare cases, we will agree to directly bill clients. Individualized fee schedules may be used at our
discretion, based on the complexity and scope among other relevant factors and circumstances.
Legacy clients may have a different or customized fee schedule. As part of this process, you
understand and acknowledge the following:

For Accounts Held at LPL:

    a) LPL Financial, LLC (“LPL”) as your custodian sends statements at least quarterly to you
       showing all disbursements for your account, including the amount of the advisory fees paid
       to us;
    b) You provide authorization permitting LPL to deduct these fees; and
    c) LPL calculates the advisory fees for all flat fee schedules and tiered advisory fee accounts
       and deducts them from your account*.

For Accounts Held at Schwab:

    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.

         *Upon firm approval on a case by case basis, our firm offers custom billing for high net
         worth clients based on aggregated household assets. Under this option, advisory fees are
         calculated by our firm and then submitted to the account custodian for direct fee deduction.

Estate Planning:

Our firm charges on an flat fee basis for Estate Planning services. The total estimated fee, as well as
the ultimate fee charged, is based on the scope and complexity of our engagement with the client.
Flat fees will not exceed $4,000. The fee-paying arrangements will be determined on a case-by-case
basis and will be detailed in the signed consulting agreement. Our firm will not require a retainer
exceeding $1,200 when services cannot be rendered within 6 months.

E-Newsletters:

There is no charge for our monthly or quarterly e-newsletters.

Other Types of Fees & Expenses

Non-Wrap Clients will incur transaction fees for trades executed by their chosen custodian via
individual transaction charges. These transaction fees are separate from our firm’s advisory fees
and will be disclosed by the chosen custodian. Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) does not
charge transaction fees for U.S. listed equities and exchange traded funds. LPL Financial offers a

trading platform with select exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) that do not charge transaction fees.
The no-transaction-fee ETF trading platform is available to clients participating in LPL Financial’s
Strategic Wealth Management (“SWM”) and Strategic Asset Management (“SAM”) programs. Clients
will be subject to transaction fees charged by LPL Financial for ETFs not included in LPL Financial’s
platform and for other types of securities. The limited number of ETFs available on LPL Financial’s
no-transaction fee platform may have higher overall expenses than other types of securities and
ETFs not included in the platform.

Clients may also pay holdings charges imposed by the chosen custodian for certain investments,
charges imposed directly by a mutual fund, index fund, or exchange traded fund, which shall be
disclosed in the fund’s prospectus (e.g., fund management fees, distribution fees, surrender charges,
variable annuity fees, IRA and qualified retirement plan fees, mark-ups and mark-downs, spreads
paid to market makers, fees for trades executed away from custodian, wire transfer fees and other
fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions). Our firm does not receive a
portion of these fees.

Termination & Refunds

We charge our advisory fees quarterly in advance. In the event that you wish to terminate our
services, we will refund the unearned portion of our advisory fee to you. You need to contact us in
writing and state that you wish to terminate our services. Upon receipt of your letter of
termination, we will proceed to close out your account and process a pro-rata refund of unearned
advisory fees.

Estate Planning clients may terminate their agreement at any time before the delivery of a plan by
providing written notice. There will be no fee billed until the Estate Planning service has been
completed.
