Revenue Sharing And Float Disclosure

Client is hereby notified that, in addition to the fees outlined in the Fee Schedule, TruSource, or its affiliates may receive remuneration from registered investment companies for providing recordkeeping, sub transfer agency and shareholder services related to the Plan's investments in the Company. Such remuneration is either based on the market value of the Plan's investments or number of participants in each TruSource customer account invested in the Company. Furthermore, funds awaiting investment will be held in the Union Bank of California Variable Rate Savings Account and TruSource is entitled to receive the spread, i.e., the difference between the interest paid to the account and the amount earned on the funds.

TruSource may also receive credit and/or interest ("float") on aggregate cash balances that it has on deposit with a third party in an omnibus account as part of reasonable compensation, and without liability for interest. This applies to such portion of the trust fund representing pending distribution of benefits and pending payment of expenses. Funds are moved into the omnibus account when a check is cut and removed when the checks are presented for payment. The Omnibus account earns interest at the federal funds rate.

USA Patriot Act of 2001

TruSource has adopted an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Plan that complies with the requirement of Sections 326 and 352 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001. The Anti-Money Laundering Plan and its Customer Identity Verification Program (CIP) are addressed in this disclosure.

CIP applies to all accounts and plans such as but not limited to: Medical Savings Accounts (MSAs); non-governmental 457 plans; 403(b) accounts; non-qualified plans; One-man plans; SIMPLE plans; SEPs; traditional, Roth and educational IRAs.

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each entity who opens an account.

What this means for you: When you open an account with TruSource, we will ask you for your name, address, date of birth (individuals only), and/or other information that will allow us to identify you.

A corporation, partnership, trust or other legal entity will need to provide your employer identification number (EIN) – and documents verifying existence of the entity (ex. certified articles of incorporation, partnership agreement, trust document, a government-issued business license.)

Individuals must provide valid government-issued identification bearing a photograph or similar safeguard (ex. driver’s license, federal government employee I. D. card, passport, alien registration card or permanent resident card).
