For example, if your account balance subject to Managed Accounts is $50,000, the maximum annual fee is 0.55 % of the
account balance. The amount collected quarterly will be based upon your account balance on the day of fee assessment.
If your account balance subject to Managed Accounts is $500,000, the first $100,000will be subject to a maximum annual
fee of 0.55 % (quarterly 0.1375%), the next $150,000 will be subject to a maximum annual fee of 0.45 % (0.1125%), the
next $150,000 will be subject to a maximum annual fee of 0.35 % (0.0875%), and any amounts over $400,000 will be
subject to a maximum annual fee of 0.25 % (0.0625%). All fees are assessed on a quarterly basis. For example, the
maximum quarterly fee for an account balance less than $100,000 (subject to maximum annual fee of 0.55%) would be
0.1375% as demonstrated above.
The fees for Online Investment Advice and Managed Account services will generally be debited from your account within
the last five (5) to seven (7) business days of each quarter of enrollment, which may or may not correspond to a calendar
quarter; however, if you cancel participation in Managed Accounts, the fee will be based on your account balance on the
date of cancellation and will be debited from your account within five (5) to seven (7) business days of the end of the
quarter in which the cancellation occurred. Use of online investment advice at any time during a quarter will result in your
account being debited the quarterly fee.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
AAG offers the following investment advisory services; Online Investment Guidance, Online Investment Advice, and the
Managed Account service through Advisory Services:
Online Investment Guidance: The Online Investment Guidance service is geared toward account owners who wish to
manage their own retirement accounts. Clients are provided access to online guidance tools.
Online Investment Advice: Online Investment Advice is geared toward account owners who wish to manage their own
retirement plans. Clients are provided online guidance and investment advice for a personalized recommended
investment portfolio. The recommended investment portfolio is based on information drawn from your account profile and
from the investment options available to you. You may then implement the recommended investment portfolio and
manage your retirement account online.
Managed Account service: The Managed Accounts service is geared toward account owners who wish to have a
qualified financial expert select among the available investment options and manage their retirement account for them.
You will receive a personalized investment portfolio that reflects the investment options and your retirement timeframe, life
stages and overall financial picture, including additional financial wealth (if you elect to provide this information), which
may be taken into consideration when determining the allocation of assets in your IRA (AAG will not provide advice for,
recommend allocations of, or manage your outside or non-IRA assets). Under the Managed Account service, AAG has
discretionary authority over allocating your assets among the investment options, without your prior approval of each
transaction.
Upon receipt of your initial deposit or rollover into your IRA, your funds will be allocated to the default investment option
specified in your custodial agreement. AAG will re-allocate your funds to your asset allocation portfolio within 5 business
days of receiving your initial deposit.
Managed Account assets in the your investment options will be automatically monitored, rebalanced and reallocated
every quarter by AAG, based on data resulting from the methodologies and software employed by the Independent
Financial Expert, to respond to market performance and to ensure optimal account performance over time. You will
receive an account update and forecast statement annually and can update your personal information at any time by
calling AAG at our toll-free customer service number or by visiting the website.
IMPORTANT: The projections or other information generated by the advisory service product regarding the
likelihood of various investment outcomes are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual investment results and
are not guarantees of future results. Results may vary with each use and over time.
The Advisory Services methodology is powered by Ibbotson Associates. Ibbotson first builds stable, consistent asset
allocation models at various risk levels. Based on Monte Carlo simulations of the client’s resources, liabilities, and human
capital, an appropriate asset level portfolio is selected and a savings rate and a retirement age are determined that best
suits each client’s situation. The asset class level model portfolios are revisited annually. Investment options are then
selected to implement each asset-level model portfolio. These investment options are monitored and rebalanced
quarterly.
Your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement constitutes your authorization for AAG to deduct the
quarterly fee. The fees are subject to change.
Certain investment options in your IRA may charge a redemption fee or impose restrictions for market timing. Such
restrictions or redemption fees vary in amount and application from investment option to investment option. It is possible
that transactions initiated by AAG under Online Investment Advice or the Managed Account service may result in the
imposition of a redemption fee or marketing timing base restriction on one or more investment options available in your
IRA. Any redemption fees will be deducted from your account balance.
If you participate in the Managed Accounts service, you must allocate all of your account balance. You may not invest in
other investment options while also participating in the Managed Account service. Once enrolled in the Managed Account
service, you will no longer be able to make investment allocation changes to your account online, via paper, or through
the toll-free customer service number. This includes functionality for fund-to-fund transfers, change fund allocations, or
utilization of dollar cost averaging, or rebalancer. Once enrolled, you retain full inquiry access to your account and you
may still request a distribution. The aforementioned functionality will be restored to your account within the next business
day markets are open after you cancel participation in the Managed Account service.
You may cancel participation in the Managed Account service at any time by completing the cancellation form available
online or by calling AAG at our toll-free customer service number.

ROTH INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNT CUSTODIAL AGREEMENT
Form 5305-RA under Section 408(a) of the Internal Revenue Code FORM (REV. MARCH 2002)
The Depositor named on the Application is establishing a Roth Individual Retirement Account under section 408A to provide for his or her retirement and for the support of his or her beneficiaries after death.
The Custodian named on the Application has given the Depositor the disclosure statement required by Regulations section 1.408-6. The Depositor has assigned the custodial account the sum indicated on the Application. The Depositor and the Custodian make the following agreement:
ARTICLE I
Except in the case of a rollover contribution described in section 408A(e), a recharacterized contribution described in section 408A(d)(6), or an IRA Conversion Contribution, the Custodian will accept only cash contributions up to $3,000 per year for tax years 2002 through 2004. That contribution limit is increased to $4,000 for tax years 2005 through 2007 and $5,000 for 2008 and thereafter. For individuals who have reached the age of 50 before the close of the tax year, the contribution limit is increased to $3,500 per year for tax years 2002 through 2004, $4,500 for 2005, $5,000 for 2006 and 2007, and $6,000 for 2008 and thereafter. For tax years after 2008, the above limits will be increased to reflect a cost-of-living adjustment, if any.
ARTICLE II
1. The annual contribution limit described in Article I is gradually reduced to $0 for higher income levels. For a single Depositor, the annual contribution is phased out between adjusted gross income (AGI) of $95,000 and $110,000; for a married Depositor filing jointly, between AGI of $150,000 and $160,000; and for a married Depositor filing separately, between AGI of $0 and $10,000. In the case of a conversion, the Custodian will not accept IRA Conversion Contributions in a tax year if the Depositor's AGI for the tax year the funds were distributed from the other IRA exceeds $100,000 or if the Depositor is married and files a separate return. Adjusted gross income is defined in section 408A(c)(3) and does not include IRA Conversion Contributions.
2. In the case of a joint return, the AGI limits in the preceding paragraph apply to the combined AGI of the Depositor and his or her spouse.
ARTICLE III
The Depositor's interest in the balance in the custodial account is nonforfeitable.
ARTICLE IV
1. No part of the custodial account funds may be invested in life insurance contracts, nor may the assets of the custodial account be commingled with other property except in a common trust fund or common investment fund (within the meaning of section 408(a)(5)). 2. No part of the custodial account funds may be invested in
collectibles (within the meaning of section 408(m)) except as otherwise permitted by section 408(m)(3), which provides an exception for certain gold, silver, and platinum coins, coins issued under the laws of any state, and certain bullion.
ARTICLE V
1. If the Depositor dies before his or her entire interest is distributed to him or her and the Depositor's surviving spouse is not the designated beneficiary, the remaining interest will be distributed in accordance with (a) below or, if elected or there is no designated beneficiary, in accordance with (b) below:
(a) The remaining interest will be distributed, starting by the end of the calendar year following the year of the Depositor's death, over the designated beneficiary's remaining life expectancy as determined in the year following the death of the Depositor. (b) The remaining interest will be distributed by the end of the
calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Depositor's death.
2. The minimum amount that must be distributed each year under paragraph 1(a) above is the account value at the close of business on December 31 of the preceding year divided by the life expectancy (in the single life table in Regulations section 1.401(a)(9)-9) of the designated beneficiary using the attained age of the beneficiary in the year following the year of the Depositor's death and subtracting 1 from the divisor for each subsequent year.
3. If the Depositor's surviving spouse is the designated beneficiary, such spouse will then be treated as the Depositor
ARTICLE VI
1. The Depositor agrees to provide the Custodian with all information necessary to prepare any reports required by sections 408(i) and 408A(d)(3)(E), Regulations sections 1.408-5 and 1.408-6, or other guidance published by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
2. The Custodian agrees to submit to the IRS and Depositor the reports prescribed by the IRS.
ARTICLE VII
Notwithstanding any other articles which may be added or incorporated, the provisions of Articles I through IV and this sentence will be controlling. Any additional articles inconsistent with section 408A, the related regulations, and other published guidance will be invalid.
ARTICLE VIII
This Agreement will be amended as necessary to comply with the provisions of the Code, the related Regulations, and other published guidance. Other amendments may be made with the consent of the persons whose signatures appear on the Application.
