Escrowed Shares (a) As security for Proman’s indemnity obligations under this ARTICLE V, PDN shall withhold the Escrowed Shares from the Merger Share Consideration at the Effective Time. A stock certificate representing the Escrowed Shares shall be delivered to the transfer agent at the Effective Time to be held by such transfer agent during the period beginning on the Effective Time and ending on the first anniversary of the Effective Time and distributed in accordance with Section 5.5(b). Proman shall retain the beneficial ownership and voting rights associated with the Escrowed Shares until such time as such shares are distributed to PDN pursuant to Section 5.5(b). (b) PDN shall have the right to deduct from the Escrowed Shares any Losses suffered by PDN Indemnified Persons that have been finally resolved in accordance with this Agreement whereby the number of Escrowed Shares deducted by PDN equals the quotient of the amount of the Losses suffered by PDN as finally resolved divided by the Current Market Value (as hereinafter defined) of PDN Common Stock as of the date such shares are transferred to PDN. On the first anniversary of the Effective Time, PDN shall distribute to Proman the balance of any of the Escrowed Shares remaining after the deduction for Losses suffered by a PDN Indemnified Person in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Losses incurred, paid or borne by a PDN Indemnified Person for which such PDN Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification from Proman under this Article V may, at the election of Proman, be satisfied, in whole or in part, by Proman in the form of cash, rather than shares of PDN Common Stock, in which event Escrowed Shares having a Current Market Value equal to the amount of such payment shall be promptly released to Proman.
Company Shares If the managing underwriter has not limited the number of Registrable Securities to be underwritten, the Company may include securities for its own account or for the account of others in such registration if the managing underwriter so agrees and if the number of Registrable Securities which would otherwise have been included in such registration and underwriting will not thereby be limited.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or (to the extent waiver thereof is permitted thereby) applicable law, each Fund’s obligation to pay the Underwriter’s Allocable Portion of the Distribution Fees payable in respect to the Class B shares of the Funds shall not be terminated or modified for any reason (including a termination of this Agreement) except: (a) to the extent required by a change in the 1940 Act, the rules thereunder or the Conduct Rules of FINRA, in each case enacted or promulgated after Xxxxx 00, 0000, (x) on a basis which does not alter the Underwriter’s Allocable Portion of the Distribution Fees computed with reference to Commission Shares the Date of Original Issuance (as defined in the Allocation Schedule) of which occurs on or prior to the adoption of such termination or modification and with respect to Free Shares (as defined in the Allocation Schedule) which would be attributed to such Underwriter under the Allocation Schedule with reference, or (c) in connection with a “Complete Termination” (as hereinafter defined) of the Plan.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the termination of the Underwriter’s role as principal distributor of the Class B shares of a Fund, nor the termination of this Agreement with respect to a Fund, nor the termination of the Plan with respect to a Fund will terminate the Underwriter’s right to its Allocable Portion of the CDSCs in respect of the Class B shares of each Fund. (vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Underwriter may assign, sell or pledge (collectively, “Transfer”) its rights to the Service Fees and its Allocable Portion of the Distribution Fees and CDSCs (but not its obligations to the Funds under this Agreement) to raise funds to make the expenditures related to the distribution of Class B shares of a Fund and in connection therewith, upon receipt of notice of such Transfer, a Fund shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the assignee, purchaser or pledgee (collectively with their subsequent transferees, “Transferees”) such portion of the Underwriter’s Service Fees, Allocable Portion of the Distribution Fees and CDSCs in respect of the Class B shares of a Fund so Transferred. Except as provided in (iii) above and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, to the extent the Underwriter has Transferred its rights thereto to raise funds as aforesaid, a Fund’s obligation to pay the Underwriter’s Allocable Portion of the Distribution Fees and CDSCs payable in respect of the Class B shares of a Fund shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be subject to dispute, offset, counterclaim or any defense whatsoever, at law or equity, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing based on the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Underwriter (it being understood that such provision is not a waiver of the Funds’ right to pursue the Underwriter and enforce claims against the assets of the Underwriter other than the Underwriter’s right to the Distribution Fees and CDSCs in respect of the Class B shares of each Fund, which have been so transferred in connection with such Transfer). The Funds agree that each such Transferee is a third party beneficiary of the provisions of this clause (vi) but only insofar as those provisions relate to Distribution Fees and CDSCs transferred to such Transferee. (vii) For purposes of the Agreement, the term “Allocable Portion” of Distribution Fees and CDSCs payable in respect of the Class B shares of a Fund shall mean the portion of such Distribution Fees and CDSCs allocated to the Underwriter.

(ix) The Underwriter may reallow any or all of the Distribution and Service Fees and CDSCs which it is paid under the Agreement to such dealers as the Underwriter may from time to time determine. (x) The Underwriter may fix quantity discounts and other similar variances or waivers of the CDSCs not inconsistent with the provisions of the 1940 Act; provided however, that the Underwriter shall not impose any commission, permit any quantity discount, or impose any other similar waiver or variance in connection with the sale of Class B shares except as disclosed in each Fund’s current Prospectus.
