# EDGAR Public Dissemination Service (PDS) System

                            Dec. 15, 2015                       

The EDGAR Public Dissemination Service (PDS) System became operational on November 1, 1998, to provide the public an accurate, complete and fast method of obtaining all accepted and valid EDGAR filings. This privatized PDS System is managed by Maximus Federal Consulting, LLC and is the primary source to receive a dedicated feed of all public EDGAR filings. Subscribers are required to enter into a paid Subscription Agreement with Maximus Federal Consulting, LLC to access this service.

Public filings are also available free of charge. Anyone can access and download this information or query it through a variety of EDGAR public searches.

### PDS subscriber services include:

                                - Transmission by Internet connection of all public filings acquired and accepted by EDGAR as soon as reasonably feasible following receipt of filing data by the PDS.
                                - Additional Single or multiple public feed options.
                                - Tracking of all files sent and received.
                                - Re-transmission of public filings that failed to be successfully delivered to subscribers due to problems encountered during connection and/or transmission to subscribers.
                                - A failover system that provides delivery of public filings from an alternative PDS server in the event service from the primary PDS sever becomes unavailable.
                                - Access to archived data of all recently accepted and transmitted filings.
                                - Six hours of support per year from the PDS Helpdesk.
