SUPERSCRIPT LEGEND
a Only Pretax amounts from an IRA or SEP may be rolled to these plans.

b Rollovers from SIMPLE IRAs are prohibited until after 2 years of participation.

c Pretax amounts only.
d After-tax amounts may be received only by direct transfer or direct rollover.
         e PPA will permit the direct rollover from a non-Roth qualified plan, non-Roth 403(b) and             governmental 457(b) to a Roth IRA beginning in 2008.
            The direct rollover amount would be taxable in the year it is directly rolled to the Roth IRA.

            f Traditional IRAs & SEP IRAs may not be rolled into a Roth IRA, but there is a conversion process.
