1 Bruce A. Lefavi Securities, Inc. Business Continuity Plan I. Emergency Contact Persons Our firm s three emergency contact persons are: Bruce A. Lefavi: H: , W: , Cell: , lefavi@lefavi.com; Sherrie Bakelar W: H: , starconspirator@gmail.com, sbakelar@lefavi.com; and Deborah Holmes: W: , Cell: , dholmes@lefavi.com. These names will be updated in the event of a material change, and our Executive Representative will review them regularly. II. Firm Policy Bruce A. Lefavi Securities, Inc. s policy is to respond to a Significant Business Disruption (SBD) by safeguarding employees lives and firm property, making a financial and operational assessment, quickly recovering and resuming operations, protecting all of the firm s books and records, and allowing our customers to transact business. In the event that we determine we are unable to continue our business, we will assure customers prompt access to their funds and securities. A. Significant Business Disruptions (SBDs) Our plan anticipates two kinds of SBDs, internal and external. Internal SBDs affect only our firm s ability to communicate and do business, such as a fire in our building. External SBDs prevent the operation of the securities markets or a number of firms, such as a terrorist attack, a city flood, or a wide-scale, regional disruption. Our response to an external SBD relies more heavily on other organizations and systems, especially on the capabilities of our clearing firm. B. Approval and Execution Authority Bruce A. Lefavi, a registered principal, is responsible for approving the plan and for conducting the required annual review. Bruce A. Lefavi has the authority to execute this. C. Plan Location and Access Our firm will maintain copies of its plan, the periodic reviews, and the changes that have been made to it for inspection. An electronic copy of our plan is located in the file/folder name: W:\Compliance\. A hard copy can be found under Business Continuity Plan in our regulatory/compliance file with the rest of the related folders (our executed copy) and in our written supervisory procedures.

2 III. Business Description Our firm conducts business primarily in mutual funds and variable annuities, but also to a lesser extent, equity and fixed income, as well as direct participation programs. Our firm is an introducing firm and does not perform any type of clearing function for itself or others. Furthermore, we do not hold customer funds or securities. We accept and enter orders. Most transactions are sent to our clearing firm, which executes our orders, compares them, allocates them, clears and settles them. Our clearing firm also maintains our customers accounts, can grant customers access to them, and delivers funds and securities. In cases for which our clearing broker does not offer certain products, such as variable annuities and direct participation products, we invest directly with the offering company. The offering company in this case takes custody of the customer funds and invests in, holds, record keeps, reports on the customers assets as well as facilitates any transactions necessary, such as issuing funds or securities to the customer. In some cases, especially for smaller clients, we will also purchase mutual fund shares directly from the offering mutual fund company as opposed to through our clearing broker. This is typically done when it is easier and less costly to the client to transact business in this manner. Our firm services only retail customers. Our clearing firm is: Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc.(SALI), 980 North Federal Hwy, Ste 308, Boca Raton, FL 33432, , dferguson@sterneagee.com and our contact person at that clearing firm is Dennis Ferguson, , dferguson@sterneagee.com or Don Exner, , dexner@sterneagee.com. Our clearing firm has also given us the following alternative contact in the event it cannot be reached: Eric Warner or Sue at the Clearing Liaison Desk: , ewarner@salfin.com, internet access: The following is a summary of the important relevant facts to us regarding our clearing firm s that they provided to us: In the event of an interruption of service at SALI, you will receive a blast from our office indicating the nature of the interruption, an estimate of the duration of the interruption and alternate means for you to accomplish the desired service at issue. Subsequent to the remedy of the interruption, you will receive a blast notification of the return to normal business operations interrupted by the disruption. 1. SALI may be contacted, in an emergency, direct at , or Our provides for switching all direct telephone numbers to a location (if necessary) where staff will be available to conduct the processing of transactions. 2. Customers may identify contact information at 3. Customers will have ability to access funds in their account by requesting a wire transfer or issuance of a check on an uninterrupted basis. 4. Best practice is to have your customers use the check writing features for funds access. 5. SALI has redundant connectivity to all exchanges, clearing agents and banks from alternate location cites. 7/31/15 2

3 IV. 6. Depending on the severity of the interruption, while order entry capability will be uninterrupted, reports of execution may be slowed or delayed due to nature of interruption (i.e. exchange outage, executing agent outage, ILX or Beta interruption.) 7. SALI uses Beta Systems for its processing. Beta has dual locations, which mirror all processing live 24/7. Consequently, any interruption should be minimal equaling only the time to reconnect to alternate location via back up data lines. Your ILX/Beta internet connection known as thin client enables you to direct connect to Beta without being affected by a SALI location outage. 8. It is unlikely that SALI will suffer a disaster of such magnitude that it will mandate that SALI discontinue operations. FINRA requires that each member firm discuss this circumstance. Your plan as well must address the possibility of business discontinuance. Your customers, via the SALI, will have access to account assets as described in the attached. Office Locations Bruce A. Lefavi Securities, Inc. has only one office (main office) described below. A. Main Office Location Our Main Office Location is at 2323 Foothill Dr., Suite 100, Salt Lake City, UT Its main telephone number is Our employees may travel to that office by means of foot, car, bicycle, or bus. We engage in all OSJ recordkeeping including our electronic systems and backups, all back office functions, order taking and entry at this location. V. Alternative Physical Location(s) of Employees In the event of an SBD, staff will work from home using internet access, if available and personal phones. At this location we have remote access to our computer systems, telephone access, and if needed access to offsite backup of all electronic records (client database, client records, office records, accounting records, etc.) VI. Customers Access to Funds and Securities Our firm does not maintain custody of customers funds or securities, which are maintained at our clearing firm, Sterne, Agee & Leach or directly with a particular mutual fund company or variable annuity company for our application way accounts. In the event of an internal or external SBD, if telephone service is available, our registered persons will take customer orders or instructions and contact our clearing firm or other custodian on their behalf, and if our Web access is available, our firm will post on our Web site that customers may access their funds and securities by contacting the custodian of their account. For any SALI accounts they can contact SALI s Clearing Liaison Desk directly at For any other accounts held by another custodian, they can 7/31/15 3

4 contact the custodian by calling the number listed on their statement. The firm will make this information available to customers through its disclosure policy. If SIPC determines that we are unable to meet our obligations to our customers or if our liabilities exceed our assets in violation of Securities Exchange Act Rule 15c3-1, SIPC may seek to appoint a trustee to disburse our assets to customers. We will assist SIPC and the trustee by providing our books and records identifying customer accounts subject to SIPC regulation. SIPC contact Info: Tel: (202) Fax: (202) VII. Data Back-Up and Recovery (Hard Copy and Electronic) Our firm maintains its primary hard copy books and records and its electronic records at the main office: 2323 Foothill Dr., Suite 100, Salt Lake City, UT Bruce A. Lefavi, President, , is responsible for the maintenance of these books and records. Our firm maintains the following document types and forms that are not transmitted to our clearing firm: New client documents (Client Fact Finder, Client Account Card), additional client documents necessary for new accounts (trust agreement, articles of incorporation, retirement plan documents, etc.), tax returns, financial plans, and client disclosure forms (mutual fund disclosure, annuity disclosure, MLP disclosure, Switch Replacement Forms, etc.). Electronically, we keep client information (name, address, phone, ss#, birth date, etc), client notes, investment summaries and records, and financial plans. Our Client Relationship Management (CRM) database is stored offsite, administered by Ebix.com. If there are any problems, we can contact Michael Shaw at ext. 7241; Michael.Shaw@ebix.com, or his colleague Chad Snyder at ext Technical support can also be reached at Data in the CRM is backed up on a daily basis. The firm backs up its electronic records daily by recording all relevant data on our main server to a digital backup tape, and keeps a copy offsite. Contact: Michelle Gallagher, 1788 E S. Salt Lake City UT, In the event of an internal or external SBD that causes the loss of our paper records, we will recover what we can from our clearing broker, other custodians, and from any electronic copies we may have. If our primary site is inoperable, we will continue operations from our back-up site or an alternate location. For the loss of electronic records, we will either physically recover the storage media or electronically recover data from our back-up site, or, if our primary site is inoperable, continue operations from our back-up site or an alternate location. 7/31/15 4

5 VIII. Financial and Operational Assessments Bruce A. Lefavi and any other relevant senior management will identify any significant changes in its operational, financial, and credit risk exposures in the event of an SBD during the annual compliance meeting. A. Operational Risk In the event of an SBD, we will immediately identify what means will permit us to communicate with our customers, employees, critical business constituents, critical banks, critical counter-parties, and regulators. Although the effects of an SBD will determine the means of alternative communication, the communications options we will employ will include our internet, telephone, alternative location telephone, company cell phones, telephone voice mail, and . In addition, we will retrieve our key activity records as described in the section above, Data Back-Up and Recovery (Hard Copy and Electronic). B. Financial and Credit Risk In the event of an SBD, we will determine the value and liquidity of our investments and other assets to evaluate our ability to continue to fund our operations and remain in capital compliance. We will contact our clearing firm, other custodians of our clients funds, critical banks, and investors to apprise them of our financial status. If we determine that we may be unable to meet our obligations to those counter-parties or otherwise continue to fund our operations, we will request additional financing from our bank or other credit sources to fulfill our obligations to our customers and clients. If we cannot remedy a capital deficiency, we will file appropriate notices with our regulators and immediately take appropriate steps, including scaling down operations to a minimum in order to operate as long as possible to resolve problem and contact SIPC if necessary. IX. Mission Critical Systems Our firm s mission critical systems are those that ensure prompt and accurate processing of securities transactions, including order taking, entry, execution, comparison, allocation, clearance and settlement of securities transactions, the maintenance of customer accounts, access to customer accounts, and the delivery of funds and securities. More specifically, these systems include: Smart Office CRM - Our database of client information and secondary source of investment records; ecustody Our internet-based access to our clearing broker from which we can enter orders and access client records and investment information; clearing broker website gives us access to client requests such as check requests, wire requests, change of address, etc. all these functions may be done via phone or as well. The clearing broker website also gives us access to all of our activity reports such as trade blotters, commission activity 7/31/15 5

6 reports, and exception reports. Telephone system - All clearing broker functions such as order entry and delivery of client funds may be done via phone with the clearing broker. We have primary responsibility for establishing and maintaining our business relationships with our customers and have sole responsibility for our mission critical functions of order taking and entry. Our clearing firm or other custodians provide, through contract, the execution, comparison, allocation, clearance and settlement of securities transactions, the maintenance of customer accounts, access to customer accounts, and the delivery of funds and securities. Our clearing firm contract provides that our clearing firm will maintain a business continuity plan and the capacity to execute that plan. Our clearing firm represents that it will advise us of any material changes to its plan that might affect our ability to maintain our business and presented us with an executive summary of its plan, which is attached to our. In the event our clearing firm executes its plan, it represents that it will notify us of such execution and provide us equal access to services as its other customers. If we reasonably determine that our clearing firm has not or cannot put its plan in place quickly enough to meet our needs, or is otherwise unable to provide access to such services, our clearing firm represents that it will assist us in seeking services from an alternative source. Our clearing firm represents that it backs up our records at a remote site. Our clearing firm represents that it operates a back-up operating facility in a geographically separate area. Our clearing firm has also confirmed the effectiveness of its back-up arrangements to recover from a wide scale disruption by testing frequently. Recovery-time objectives provide concrete goals to plan for and test against. They are not, however, hard and fast deadlines that must be met in every emergency situation, and various external factors surrounding a disruption, such as time of day, scope of disruption, and status of critical infrastructure particularly telecommunications can affect actual recovery times. Recovery refers to the restoration of clearing and settlement activities after a wide-scale disruption; resumption refers to the capacity to accept and process new transactions and payments after a wide-scale disruption. Our clearing firm has the following SBD recovery time and resumption objectives: recovery time period of within the hour; and resumption time of within minutes, virtually continuous. A. Our Firm s Mission Critical Systems 1. Order Taking Currently, our firm receives orders from customers via telephone and in-person visits by the customer. During an SBD, either internal or external, we will continue to take orders through any of these methods that are available and reliable, and in addition, as communications permit, we will inform our customers when communications become available to tell them what alternatives they have to send their orders to us. Customers will be informed of alternatives by , website postings, and regular mail (if time 7/31/15 6

7 permits). If necessary, we will advise our customers to place orders directly with our clearing firm at the Clearing Liaison Desk: Order Entry Currently, our firm enters orders by electronically entering them directly on our clearing brokers system (ecustody internet based system) and sending them to our clearing firm electronically through the same system. Alternatively, we place customer orders by calling our clearing broker s trading desk directly. We have contacted our clearing broker and were told that, under its, we can expect continual service. In the event of an internal SBD, we will enter and send records to our clearing firm by the fastest alternative means available, which include , phone, and internet. In the event of an external SBD, we will maintain the order in electronic or paper format, and deliver the order to the clearing firm by the fastest means available when it resumes operations. In addition, during an internal SBD, we may need to refer our customers to deal directly with our clearing firm for order entry. B. Mission Critical Systems Provided by Our Clearing Firm Our firm relies, by contract, on our clearing firm to provide order execution, order comparison, order allocation, and the maintenance of customer accounts, delivery of funds and securities, and access to customer accounts.
