This management fee generally varies between 85 and 150 basis points (.85% – 1.5 %) in accordance with
the following fee schedule:
                             Portfolio Value                                Base Fee

                         $500,001 - $1,000,000                                1.25%
                        $1,000,001 - $3,000,000                               1.00%
                         $3,000,001 – 5,000,000                                .85%

                 For Assets over $5 Million, our fees will be based on the following tiered (blended) schedule:
                             Portfolio Value                                Base Fee

                                $5,000,000                                     .85%
                        $5,000,001 - $7,500,000                                .75%

                       $7,500,001 - $15,000,000                                .50%
                          $15,000,001 – Above                                  .25%

For account (s) used only for holding money market mutual funds, there will not be a wealth management
fee charged, nor will these accounts be included for aggregate discounts in the fee schedules above.
The Gleason Group has an annual minimum fee of $10,000 and requires a minimum of $1,000,000 in AUM
per relationship.
This fee will be billed on a quarterly basis, in advance, based upon the market value of the Assets at the
close of the New York Stock Exchange on the last business day of the previous billing period (“Billing
Period”) as valued by the custodian of your Assets.
If management begins after the start of a quarter, fees will be prorated accordingly. If Assets are deposited
or withdrawn after the beginning of a billing period, the management fee will reflect these changes on the

subsequent quarterly billing period. Fees are normally debited directly from client account(s), unless other
arrangements are made. In the event the advisory agreement is terminated, the fee for the final billing
period is prorated through the effective date of the termination and the outstanding or unearned portion of
the fee is charged or refunded to the client, as appropriate.
Additionally, for asset management services the Firm provides with respect to certain client holdings (e.g.,
held-away assets, accommodation accounts, alternative investments, etc.), The Gleason Group may
negotiate a fee rate that differs from the range set forth above.

Cash Management Accounts

The Gleason Group does not charge a wealth management fee on money market balances held in certain
accounts designated as CMA Accounts, and the balances in those accounts are not included in the
calculation for aggregate discounts.

Fee Discretion

The Gleason Group may, in its sole discretion, negotiate to charge a lesser fee based upon certain criteria,
such as anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amount of assets to
be managed, pre-existing/legacy client relationship, and pro bono activities.

Additional Fees and Expenses

In addition to the advisory fees paid to The Gleason Group, clients may also incur certain charges imposed
by other third parties, such as broker-dealers, custodians, trust companies, banks and other financial
institutions (collectively “Financial Institutions”). These additional charges may include securities
brokerage commissions, transaction fees, custodial fees, margin costs, charges imposed directly by a mutual
fund or ETF in a client’s account, as disclosed in the fund’s prospectus (e.g., fund management fees and
other fund expenses), deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and
electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. The Firm’s
brokerage practices are described at length in Item 12, below.

Direct Fee Debit

Clients generally provide The Gleason Group with the authority to directly debit their accounts for payment
of the investment advisory fees. The Financial Institutions that act as the qualified custodian for client
accounts, from which the Firm retains the authority to directly deduct fees, have agreed to send statements
to clients not less than quarterly detailing all account transactions, including any amounts paid to The
Gleason Group.

Account Additions and Withdrawals

Clients may make additions to and withdrawals from their account at any time, subject to The Gleason
Group’s right to terminate an account. Additions may be in cash or securities provided that the Firm
reserves the right to liquidate any transferred securities or declines to accept particular securities into a
client’s account. Clients may withdraw account assets on notice to The Gleason Group, subject to the usual
and customary securities settlement procedures. However, the Firm generally designs its portfolios as long-
term investments and the withdrawal of assets may impair the achievement of a client’s investment
objectives. The Gleason Group may consult with its clients about the options and implications of
transferring securities. Clients are advised that when transferred securities are liquidated, they may be
