Distribution assistance fee payments shall be made only to Recipients that are registered with the SEC as a broker-dealer or are exempt from registration. The distribution assistance to be rendered by the Recipients in connection with the sale of Shares may include, but shall not be limited to, the following: distributing sales literature and prospectuses other than those furnished to current Shareholders, providing compensation to and paying expenses of personnel of the Recipient who support the distribution of Shares by the Recipient, and providing such other information and services in connection with the distribution of Shares as the Distributor or the Fund may reasonably request.

Dues Deduction 1. The DTU will indemnify, defend, and hold the employer harmless against any claim made and against any suit instituted against the Employer on account of any check-off of union dues. 2. Upon receipt of a written authorization from an employee covered by this agreement, the Employer will deduct from the employee's pay the amount owed to the DTU by such employee for dues and its assessments. 3. It is understood that this provision will provide for 22 or 26 deductions per year for all covered employees as outlined in Appendix D. The Employer will remit to the DTU such sums as deductions are made to be implemented when the ACH system is functioning. There will be a one month trial transfer period. An electronic copy of the deduction will be provided to the DTU within five working days. Changes in the DTU membership dues rate will be certified to the Employer in writing over the signature of the authorized officer or officers of the DTU and shall be done at least 30 days in advance of the effective date of such change. The Employer's remittance will be deemed correct if the DTU does not give written notice to the Employer within thirty (30) calendar days after a remittance is received of its belief, with reason(s) stated therefore, that the remittance is incorrect. 4. No deduction of dues shall be made from the pay of any employee for any payroll period in which the employee's net earnings for that payroll period, after deductions, are less than the amount of dues to be checked off. 5. An employee may at any time revoke, in writing her/his authorization for dues deductions. Written requests received by the 20th day of the month will be effective no earlier than the first payday and no later than the second payday of the following month. 6. Any employee who has payroll deductions to DTU for membership dues at the time of any unpaid leave shall have such dues deductions reinstated when she/he returns from leave, unless canceled by the employee in writing.
