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.

The Escrow Agent may earn compensation in the form of short-term interest (“float”) on items like uncashed distribution checks (from the date issued until the date cashed), funds that the Escrow Agent is directed not to invest, deposits awaiting investment direction or received too late to be invested overnight in previously directed investments.

(b) All amounts held by the Subscription Receipt Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be held by the Subscription Receipt Agent for the benefit of the Receiptholder and the delivery of the Escrowed Funds to the Subscription Receipt Agent shall not give rise to a debtor-creditor or other similar relationship between the Subscription Receipt Agent and the Receiptholder. The amounts held by the Subscription Receipt Agent pursuant to this Agreement are the sole risk of the Receiptholder and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Subscription Receipt Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any diminution of the Escrowed Funds which may result from any deposit made with an Approved Bank pursuant to this Section 6.2, including any losses resulting from a default by the Approved Bank or other credit losses (whether or not resulting from such a default) and any credit or other losses on any deposit liquidated or sold prior to maturity. The Corporation acknowledges and agrees that the Subscription Receipt Agent acts prudently in depositing the Escrowed Proceeds at any Approved Bank, and that the Subscription Receipt Agent is not required to make any further inquiries in respect of any such bank. At any time and from time to time, the Receiptholder shall be entitled to direct the Subscription Receipt Agent by written notice (a) not to deposit any new amounts in any Approved Bank specified in the notice and/or (b) to withdraw all or any of the Escrowed Funds that may then be deposited with any Approved Bank specified in the notice and re- deposit such amount with one or more of such other Approved Banks as specified in the notice.

For tax reporting purposes, all interest or other taxable income earned from the investment of the Escrow Funds in any tax year shall (i) to the extent such interest is distributed by the Subscription Receipt Agent to any person or entity pursuant to the terms of this Agreement during such tax year, be allocated to such person or entity, and
