The failure of the Offeree to respond within the Offeree Option Period shall be deemed to be a waiver of the Offeree Option, provided that the Offeree may waive its rights under this Section 4.6 prior to the expiration of the Offeree Option Period by giving written notice to the Selling Shareholder.
(c) Closing. The closing of the purchase of Offered Shares subscribed for by the Offeree under this Section 4.6 shall be held at the executive office of the Company at 11:00 a.m., local time, on the sixtieth (60th) day after the giving of the Offering Notice or at such other time and place as the parties to the transaction may agree.

In addition, the Company shall not be required to file any registration within six (6) months after the effective date of any other registration statement of the Company (the “Prior Registration Delay”).

Section 5.3.2 Cutback.
(a) Minimum Year One Sale.

If the lead managing Underwriter of an offering covered by Section 5.3.1 (other than in connection with the Minimum Year One Sale) shall advise the Company on or before the date five (5) days prior to the date then scheduled for such offering that, in its view, the amount of Shares requested to be included in such registration exceeds the amount which can be sold in such offering without having a material and adverse effect on the market for the Shares and, if applicable, any other securities issued by the Company, then the Company will include in such registration: first, if the Company shall have initiated the registration, any Shares proposed to be registered by the Company; second, (i) until the Caledonia Group shall
28
have sold two million (2,000,000) Caledonia Tag Shares (including Caledonia Tag Shares sold pursuant to the Minimum Year One Sale) in the aggregate (the “Caledonia Sale Trigger”), Registrable Securities requested to be registered by the Caledonia Group, and (ii) until the CMS Group shall have sold one million (1,000,000) CMS Tag Shares (including CMS Tag Shares sold pursuant to the Minimum Year One Sale) in the aggregate (the “CMS Sale Trigger”), Registrable Securities requested to be registered by the CMS Group, such Caledonia Tag Shares and CMS Tag Shares to be allocated, if necessary, pro rata among such Holders on the basis of the number of Shares proposed to be registered at the time, and third, (i) prior to the Caledonia Sale Trigger and the CMS Sale Trigger, each if applicable, Registrable Securities requested to be registered by any other Holders, allocated, if necessary, pro rata among such Holders on the basis of the number of the Shares proposed to be registered at the time and (ii) following the Caledonia Sale Trigger and CMS Sale Trigger, Registrable Securities requested to be registered by all Holders, allocated, if necessary, pro rata among the Holders on the basis of the number of Shares proposed to be registered at the time.

35
by law, the Company, its officers, directors and agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any and all losses, claims, damages, and liabilities resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus filed by the Company or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and conforms with written information concerning such Holder furnished by such Holder to the Company expressly for use in any such prospectus or preliminary prospectus; provided, however, that the liability of such Holder shall not exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder and the participating members of such Holder’s Group from the sale of its Registrable Securities. Each Holder also shall indemnify any underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Company (but only to the extent that any untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and conforms with written information concerning such Holder furnished by such Holder to such underwriter expressly for use in such prospectus or preliminary prospectus); provided, however, that the indemnification of such Holder shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder and the participating members of such Holder’s Group from the sale of its Registrable Securities.
Section 5.7.3 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.7 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, to the extent such indemnification is unavailable, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party (and, if the indemnifying party is a Holder, aggregated with the relative fault of the participating members of such Holder’s Group) and Indemnified Parties in connection with the actions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses. The relative fault of such indemnifying party or, if applicable, any participating of such Holder’s Group and Indemnified Parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or, if applicable, any participating of such Holder’s Group or Indemnified Parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action.
36
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.7.3 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.
