Assets Administered by Provident Trust Group, LLC (PTG) Investor Choice IRA While IRAs can hold many different investments the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) specifically excludes two types of investments: collectibles (artwork, rugs, antiques, gems, stamps, most coins, etc.) and life insurance. An IRA also cannot invest in Subchapter S corporations as it does not meet the requirements of an eligible shareholder. The range of assets acceptable for investment is nearly unlimited; the IRA Trustee or Custodian determines the type of investments they will accept. The IRA Owner should initiate appropriate due diligence prior to selecting an investment. PTG accepts the asset types listed below. Other assets would need to be reviewed by PTG prior to acceptance. Secured Note A secured note is a Promissory Note that is guaranteed by an interest in an asset that is worth as much or more than the amount of the loan. If the borrower defaults on the loan, the IRA may become the owner of the asset securing the note. Notes can be secured by property, vehicles, mobile homes, accounts receivable, etc. As with an unsecured note, the note spells out the terms of the loan, such as interest rate, loan amount, payment schedule, etc. A Deed of Trust, a Mortgage, or a Uniform Commercial Code (UCC1) filing with the Secretary of State may be used to place a lien against the secured asset. For most vehicles, the IRA would be placed on the title as lien holder, just like any other lender. Note and Deed of Trust: A Deed of Trust involves three parties: the trustor (borrower), the beneficiary (lender: the IRA), and the trustee (may be a title company or third party, but the trustee cannot be a disqualified person). When the loan is repaid the title is reconveyed back to the trustor. A Note and Deed of Trust is the preferred financing instrument in California because of the ease of foreclosure. When a loan is in default, the beneficiary can order the trustee to hold a trustee s sale where the property can be sold. The process takes about 4 months. Note and Mortgage: A mortgage involves just two parties: the mortgagor (borrower) and the mortgagee (lender). The mortgage places a lien on the property, but legal title remains in the name of the borrower. If the borrower defaults, court proceedings are required, which may take up to two years: one year to foreclose and an additional year in which the borrower has the right to redeem the property. Note and UCC1 filing: The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) provides for the filing of certain financial statements, agricultural liens, and other lien documents with the Secretary of State. Filing with the Secretary of State s Office serves to perfect a security interest in the named collateral and establishes priority in case of default or bankruptcy. A UCC filing can be used when a lien is attached to certain real property, such as mobile homes, a business inventory, etc. Please note that UCC1 filings are generally effective for 5 years and may need to be re-filed for loans with terms over 5 years. Unsecured Note Sometimes called a Promissory Note or a Straight Note, an unsecured note is only guaranteed by the borrower s promise to pay. The borrower signs a note, which may be as simple as a hand written agreement. The borrower s signature must be notarized and a W-9 must be completed by the borrower. The note spells out the terms of the loan, such as interest rate, loan amount, and payment schedule. The loan may be amortized, interest only, or a balloon note, receiving full payment and interest at maturity. The Custodian holds the original note in safekeeping. Real Property Real property or real estate includes raw land, pre-development, commercial, residential, etc. Property can be owned directly by the IRA or the IRA can hold an interest in an LP/LLC that holds title to the property or an interest in real estate investment trusts. For further information, please refer to our Investor Choice IRA Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and Real Property Requirements, available on our website or upon request. 8880 W. Sunset Rd., Suite 250, Las Vegas, NV 89148 Assets Administered by PTG

Interest in Limited Partnership (LP) or Limited Liability Company (LLC) LPs and LLCs have become a popular instrument to hold investments as a result of the liability protection that they may provide. Investors in LPs are called partners, while investors in LLCs are called members. The partners/members pool their funds to invest in trust deeds, real property, etc. Any income generated by the investments flows back into the LP or LLC to be reinvested by the LP/LLC or distributed to the limited partners/members. The LP/LLC files a K-1 each year reporting each partner s/member s share of the earnings. When IRA funds are used to invest in LPs/LLCs, the partner/member is Provident Trust Group FBO (IRA Owner s Name) IRA (or Roth IRA) and the tax ID number is that of the custodian. Usually, an LP/LLC will have an Operating Agreement, an Investor Questionnaire, and/or a Subscription Agreement. The IRA Owner reviews all documents, answers any investor questions, and signs each page requiring the investor s signature or initials as read & approved. The IRA Custodian signs as the new partner/member/investor. The IRA cannot be the General Partner of an LP or the Managing Member of an LLC. In addition, once the LP/LLC is funded, no further contributions or capital calls may be allowed if the IRA, IRA Owner and any disqualified persons combined own 50% or more of the LP/LLC. For further LP/LLC requirements refer to our LP and LLC Guidelines, available on our website or upon request. Normally earnings on investments held within an IRA are not taxed until the IRA Owner takes a distribution. However, sometimes the LP or LLC generates unrelated business taxable income (UBTI). If an LP or LLC generates UBTI it may be reflected on the K-1. If an IRA investment has UBTI the IRA must file IRS Form 990-T and pay unrelated business income tax (UBIT). This tax must be paid from cash held in the IRA. The IRA Owner s tax advisor or CPA prepares the 990-T; PTG signs as custodian. For further details, refer to our Unrelated Business Taxable Income Policy & Procedure, provided upon request. Privately Held Stock Privately held companies are companies whose stock is not traded publicly, i.e., the stock cannot be bought and sold on a public stock exchange. Often these companies are just forming or are owned by a single family. To invest IRA funds in a privately held company, the IRA Owner and his or her lineal descendents combined must own less than 50% of the company at the time of purchase, or a disinterested third party must own the company. A corporation can issue two general types of stock: common stock and preferred stock. When purchasing privately held stock a subscription or purchase agreement is required. The Custodian holds the original stock certificate(s) in safekeeping, if stock certificates are issued. For a rollover, transfer in-kind, or purchase of stock from a current shareholder, additional documents will be required. S-Corporations can only have individuals as shareholders; therefore, an IRA cannot invest in S-Corporation stock. Precious Metals Precious metals include certain gold, silver, platinum and palladium coins and bullion. Precious metals purchased in an IRA must adhere to applicable fineness and/or bullion standards as described in the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 and must NOT be collectibles as described in IRS Publication 590. PTG uses Delaware Depository Services Company (DDSC), a Division of Depository Trust Company of Delaware, LLC, for storage of precious metals. An IRA Owner cannot personally hold or store precious metals owned by the IRA. Foreign Investments PTG may hold investments in U.S. based companies whose holdings include foreign investments, and may hold foreign property, if the asset can be valued annually in US dollars. PTG will only hold titled property directly or through a corporation. PTG will not hold property through a Right of Possession (ROP). Refer to our Real Property Requirements, available on our website or provided upon request. Foreign assets must be reviewed and approved by PTG on a case by case basis. Please note: PTG does not evaluate assets as to merit or appropriateness as an investment. Assets Administered by PTG

Provident Trust Group, LLC (PTG) Prohibited Transactions PTG is committed to providing professional services within the applicable guidelines of federal and state statutes and regulations. PTG will not accept, process, or hold any investment that is a prohibited transaction as defined in Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 4975 or Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Publication 590. In addition, PTG reserves the right to refuse to hold an investment that may potentially be considered a prohibited transaction or an indirect prohibited transaction. Any improper use of your IRA by you, your beneficiary, or any disqualified person is considered a prohibited transaction. Prohibited transactions include the direct or indirect: Sale, exchange, or leasing of any property between the IRA and a disqualified person. For example, an IRA cannot buy an investment currently owned by the IRA Owner. Lending of money or other extension of credit between the IRA and a disqualified person. For example, the IRA cannot loan money to the IRA Owner or a disqualified person. Furnishing of goods, services, or facilities between the IRA and a disqualified person. For example, an IRA Owner cannot pledge the IRA assets as collateral for a personal loan. Transfer of the income or assets of the IRA to a disqualified person, or use by or for the benefit of a disqualified person. For example, the IRA cannot loan money to a third party who uses the funds to benefit the IRA Owner or another disqualified person. Any act of the IRA Owner by which income from the IRA or assets of the IRA are used for his or her own interest. For example, the IRA Owner cannot benefit from an asset owned by the IRA. The receipt of consideration by the IRA Owner for his or her account from any party dealing with the IRA in a transaction that involves IRA income or assets. For example, the IRA Owner cannot receive compensation for any transaction involving the IRA. A disqualified person includes: You Your spouse Ancestors Lineal descendants Spouses of lineal descendants An entity (i.e., partnership, trust) in which any disqualified person(s) holds a combined interest of 50% or more The consequence of engaging in a prohibited transaction in an IRA is generally a total disqualification of the IRA, resulting in a taxable distribution of the entire value of the IRA to the IRA Owner, which may also incur penalties. We recommend that questionable transactions be reviewed by an ERISA attorney, who specializes in retirement law. If you would like to review these rules, please call us.

For single member LLCs (your IRA will own 100% of the LLC): The assets of the LLC are considered assets of the IRA. The Operating Agreement or Subscription Agreement must require that the manager appoint a qualified professional such as a CPA or attorney to either serve as the manager or to conduct a review of each transaction before execution. Note: The IRA Owner may be required to provide documentation of all transactions upon audit. If the manager is the IRA Owner or other disqualified party no compensation can be paid to the manager of the LLC. If the manager is the IRA Owner or other disqualified party the manager s activities are restricted to administrative and investment oversight, i.e., the manager cannot physically work on property owned by the LLC. Capital calls are allowed and expenses of the LLC can be paid directly from the IRA. If disqualified persons/entities combined will own 50% or more of the LLC: The Operating Agreement or Subscription Agreement must require that the manager appoint a qualified professional such as a CPA or attorney to either serve as the manager or to conduct a review of each transaction before execution.

If the manager is the IRA Owner or other disqualified party the manager s activities are restricted to administrative and investment oversight, i.e., the manager cannot physically work on property owned by the LLC. Additional investments, capital calls, and payment for expenses in the LP or LLC may be prohibited; the Operating Agreement or Subscription Agreement should not require these types of additional funding. We recommend that you seek legal counsel regarding additional contributions or investments into multimember LLCs made after the formation or initial investment into the LLC by the IRA. Plan Asset Regulations: If the LP/LLC is an investment company and the LP/LLC is owned 25% or more by IRAs and employee benefit plans (retirement plans) then Plan Asset Regulations prohibit new investments by retirement plans or additional contributions or capital calls from existing retirement plan investors. If the LP/LLC is an operating company the 25% restriction does not apply. The general partner/manager should determine if this regulation applies.

Provident Trust Group, LLC (PTG) Loan Requirements PTG will hold secured and unsecured notes/loans subject to the following: A third party loan servicing agent is required for all secured and unsecured notes held by PTG as custodian. o Neither PTG as a directed custodian nor Polycomp Administrative Services, Inc. (PAS) as administrator acts as a loan servicer for the notes held in your IRA. We do not track payments or provide notices of default. The maturity date of your loan will be shown on your quarterly statement and we will take no other action to notify you regarding loans past maturity. o A loan servicer typically collects and forwards all payments to PTG as Beneficiary of the note, maintains records of payments, interest and principal, collects past due payments and penalties, takes action to notify of default and/or other duties as agreed between the IRA Owner and the agent. A loan servicer can also be the Trustee of the Deed of Trust and foreclose the security. o A separate loan servicing agreement is required for each note. o The loan servicing agent cannot be a disqualified person, such as the IRA Owner s spouse or child, or an entity owned 50% or more by the IRA Owner or disqualified persons. o An executed copy of the Loan Servicing Agreement must be provided prior to funding the loan.

Based on the terms of the note, we can help the IRA Owner determine the required minimum balance and the appropriate cash reserve needed prior to funding. The IRA cannot make a loan to the IRA Owner or any disqualified person, i.e., spouse, lineal descendents or ascendants. The interest charged must be based on an arm s length transaction and at a fair market rate to be in compliance with the Exclusive Benefit Rule (IRC 408(a)). Special treatment because of a relationship to the IRA Owner will always violate the Exclusive Benefit Rule. A current FMV from the loan servicer or reliable third party knowledgeable and trained to assess the value of the asset is required at the time of any taxable distribution, including Roth conversions, and before calculating the required minimum distribution. The IRA Owner is responsible for ensuring that documents required to secure collateral for a loan are titled in the name of Provident Trust Group FBO (IRA Owner s Name) IRA (or Roth IRA) and properly recorded. Unsecured Note/Loan Documents and information required before funding: A current Polycomp Direction Letter completed as required. The original executed Note with the borrower s notarized signature.

If required, the Tax ID number used is that of the Custodian: 26-1558513. If an existing note/loan is being purchased from a third party, the IRA Owner must provide the original executed Assignment of Note and a copy of the original executed Note.

For loans secured by assets other than real property, draft copies of a UCC1 Financing Statement or other appropriate documents designating Provident Trust Group FBO (IRA Owner s Name) IRA (or Roth IRA) as beneficiary are required before funding. The IRA Owner is responsible for ensuring that the UCC1 Financing Statement is filed with the appropriate Secretary of State. A copy of the filed document is required to complete the loan file. Please note that UCC1 filings are generally effective for 5 years and may need to be re-filed for loans with a term greater than 5 years.
