ITEM 5
IMC is compensated for services rendered by an annual fee, which is calculated as a percentage of assets under
management. Fees are negotiable and confirmed to the client prior to commencement of consulting. Generally, fees are
billed quarterly in arrears, and are based on the market value of each account on the last day of the quarter. A client may
terminate the Investment Advisory
Agreement at any time upon 30 days’ written notice (the fee for the quarter in which
termination occurs will be prorated). Clients have the option to have IMC’s consulting fee deducted directly from their
asset account or invoiced for fees incurred.
IMC may be compensated on a flat fee basis. Also, an hourly rate of $150 is available to clients not wishing to engage
IMC on a permanent basis. Hourly fees may include, but are not limited to, the following services: setting investment
objectives, asset allocation, mutual fund selection and review.

In addition to the consulting fee, the client understands that there may be other expenses such as: mutual fund operating
expenses, transactional fees and, if appropriate, custodial fees charged by other organizations associated with the client’s
accounts. IMC does not have the ability to negotiate mutual fund operating expenses or custodial fees. IMC will not
receive any commission or other soft-dollar payments of any nature with respect to the client.
Percentage of assets under management (“AUM”) Fee: IMC charges a maximum annual fee of 1.00%
calculated at the end of each quarter.
Example of Percentage of AUM calculation: a client with IMC who has $1,000,000 in AUM will pay $10,000 per
