Item 1.01 
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Subscription Agreement

On August 20, 2012, Nuvel Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”) closed the first round of an offering (the “Offering”) of its Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase its common stock, par value $.001 per share (“Common Stock”) to a number of accredited investors (the “Investors”) pursuant to a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”). The Subscription Agreement contemplates multiple closings of the Offering and a final closing of the Offering on or before March 31, 2013.

Under the Subscription Agreement, the Company issued and sold to the Investors in this round, for an aggregate purchase price of $385,000, an aggregate of 549,999 shares of the Company's newly designated Series A Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $0.70 (the “Purchase Price”), together with Warrants to purchase 50% of the shares of Common Stock that the Series A Preferred Stock such Investors purchased would be able to be converted into at an exercise price of $0.80 per share. The warrants have a five year term. The number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased upon exercise of the warrants and the exercise price of the warrants are subject to adjustment to protect the holder of the warrants against dilution upon the occurrence of certain events.

The Subscription Agreement contains representations warranties by us and the Investors which are customary for transactions of this type. The Company covenanted under the Subscription Agreement that on or before 210 days after the final closing of the Offering, the Company shall use its best effort to file with the SEC a registration statement, registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and upon exercise of the Warrants.

Series A Preferred Stock

The rights and preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock are set forth in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation of Series A Preferred Stock”) which was filed with the State of Secretary of Florida on August 10, 2012.  The following is a summary of the rights and preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock:

Dividends . The holders of such Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends which are calculated as 8% of the Purchase Price per annum.

Liquidation Preference. Series A Preferred Stock will rank on priority to the Common Stock in the event of liquidation or dissolution and the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive the amount (the “Liquidation Amount”) which equals the sum of (i) two times the Purchase Price and (ii) any declared and unpaid dividends.

Conversion Rate. This is determined by dividing (A) the Original Purchase Price by (B) the then effective conversion price (which shall initially be $0.70). The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Certain Adjustment as described below.

Conversion at Option of Holder. Any time prior to the 36-month anniversary of the date of issuance, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder into a number of shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate, subject to Certain Adjustment as described below.

Automatic Conversion. The Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted in shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate if: (a) the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg Finance, L.P. equals or exceeds One Dollar Twenty Cents ($1.20) per share during any twenty (20) consecutive trading days and (b) the trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock is at least $150,000.
 
Voting Rights . The holders of shares of Series A Stock may be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock at then applicable Conversion Rate.

Certain Adjustments.
 
Stock Dividends and Stock Splits .   In the event of a stock dividend, stock distribution, stock split or reverse stock split or reclassification with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate of Series A Preferred Stock will be adjusted accordingly.
  
Fundamental Transaction . If the Company effects a merger, sell all or substantially all of its assets, any tender offer or exchange offer is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or  it effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (each, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then on subsequent conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the holder has the right to receive, for each share of Common Stock that would have been issuable on such conversion absent such fundamental transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as the holder would have been entitled to receive on the occurrence of the Fundamental Transaction as if the holder had been, immediately prior to such fundamental transaction, the holder of Common Stock.

b.  
In the event that the Warrant is not exercised in full, the number of Warrant Shares shall be reduced by the number of such Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercised and/or surrendered, and the Company, if requested by Holder and at its expense, shall within three (3) Trading Days (as defined below) issue and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor in the name of the Holder or as the Holder (upon payment by Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, reflecting such adjusted Warrant Shares.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon exercise of any portion of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless such Holder is purchasing the full amount of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares so purchased hereunder and the dates of such purchases or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Warrant upon each such exercise.  The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant or a new Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this Section, following exercise of any portion of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares which may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant may be less than the number of Warrant Shares set forth on the face hereof.  Certificates for shares of Common Stock purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the Holder hereof within three (3) Trading Days after the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised as aforesaid.  The Holder may withdraw its Notice of Exercise at any time if the Company fails to timely deliver the relevant certificates to the Holder as provided in this Agreement.  A Notice of Exercise shall be

deemed sent on the date of delivery if delivered before 8:00 p.m. New York Time on such date, or the day following such date if delivered after 8:00 p.m. New York Time; provided that the Company is only obligated to deliver Warrant Shares against delivery of the Exercise Price from the holder hereof and, if the Holder is purchasing the full amount of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant, surrender of this Warrant (or appropriate affidavit and/or indemnity in lieu thereof).  In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Warrant Shares issuable upon conversion of this Warrant, provided the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“ FAST ”) program, upon request of the Holder, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise to the Holder, by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian (“ DWAC ”) system. The time periods for delivery described above shall apply to the electronic transmittals through the DWAC system. The Company agrees to coordinate with DTC to accomplish this objective.
 
c.  
If at any time this Warrant is exercised following the twelve month anniversary of the date of issuance of this Warrant, but before the Expiration Date and on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Holder’s delivery of an Exercise Notice in respect of such exercise, a Registration Statement covering the Warrant Shares that are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the “ Unavailable Warrant Shares ”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares, the Holder of this Warrant also may exercise this Warrant as to any or all of such Unavailable Warrant Shares and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise a reduced number of shares of Common Stock (the “ Net Number ”) determined according to the following formula (a “ Cashless Exercise ”):
 

                                Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)
                                                          ---------------------
                                                                     B

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

A= the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised in a Cashless Exercise.
 
 
 
 

 
 
- 3 -

 


B= the Market Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.

C= the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

There cannot be a Cashless Exercise unless “B” exceeds “C.”
 
d.  
The term “ Trading Day ” means (x) if the Common Stock is not listed on the NYSE Euronext or NYSE AMEX but sale prices of the Common Stock are reported on Nasdaq Global Market, Nasdaq Global Select Market, Nasdaq Capital Market or another automated quotation system, a day on which trading is reported on the principal automated quotation system on which sales of the Common Stock are reported, (y) if the Common Stock is listed on the NYSE Euronext or NYSE AMEX, a day on which there is trading on such stock exchange, or (z) if the foregoing provisions are inapplicable, a day on which quotations are reported by National Quotation Bureau Incorporated.
 
The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares upon an exercise in accordance with Section 3 above are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

4.  
No Fractional Shares or Scrip .   No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.  In lieu of issuance of a fractional share upon any exercise hereunder, the Company will either round up to nearest whole number of shares or pay the cash value of that fractional share, which cash value shall be calculated on the basis of the average closing price of the Common Stock during the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of exercise.

5.  
Charges, Taxes and Expenses .   Issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder of this Warrant or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder of this Warrant; provided , however , that in the event certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder of this Warrant, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder hereof; and provided further , that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of any Warrant certificates or any certificates for the Warrant Shares other than the issuance of a Warrant Certificate to the Holder in connection with the Holder’s surrender of a Warrant Certificate upon the exercise of all or less than all of the Warrants evidenced thereby.
 
6.  
Closing of Books .   The Company will at no time close its shareholder books or records in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.
 
7.  
No Rights as Shareholder until Exercise .   Subject to Section 12 of this Warrant and the provisions of any other written agreement between the Company and the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Warrant Shares or any other securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Purchaser, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value, or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until the Warrant shall have been exercised as provided herein.  However, at the time of the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 3 hereof, the Warrant Shares so purchased hereunder shall be deemed to be issued to such Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised.
 
8.  
Assignment and Transfer of Warrant .   This Warrant may be assigned by the surrender of this Warrant and the Assignment Form annexed hereto duly executed at the office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company or its transfer agent as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder hereof at the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company); provided , however , that this Warrant may not be resold or otherwise transferred except (a) in a transaction registered under the Act, or (b) in a transaction pursuant to an exemption, if available, from registration under the Act and whereby, if reasonably requested by the Company, an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company is obtained by the Holder of this Warrant to the effect that the transaction is so exempt.

10.  
Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc.   If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a legal holiday.
 
11.  
Effect of Certain Events . If at any time while this Warrant or any portion thereof is outstanding and unexpired there shall be a transaction (by merger or otherwise) in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Company is disposed of (collectively, a “ Sale or Merger Transaction ”), the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to purchase, by exercise of this Warrant and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such action, the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of such transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto, subject to further adjustment as provided in Section 12.
 
12.  
Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares . The number of and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 12.
 
a.  
Subdivisions, Combinations, Stock Dividends and other Issuances .    If the Company shall, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on any equity securities (including instruments or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such equity securities) in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combine outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
 
 
 
 

 
 
- 6 -

 


 
outstanding before such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 12(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.  The number of shares which may be purchased hereunder shall be increased proportionately to any reduction in Exercise Price, or decreased proportionately to any increase in Exercise Price, pursuant to this paragraph 12(a), so that after such adjustments the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the  applicable number of shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect just prior to such adjustments.
 
b.  
Other Distributions . If at any time after the date hereof the Company distributes to holders of its Common Stock, other than as part of its dissolution, liquidation or the winding up of its affairs, any shares of its capital stock, any evidence of indebtedness or any of its assets (other than Common Stock), then the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be increased to equal: (i) the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event, (ii) multiplied by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value (as defined below) per share of Common Stock on the record date for the dividend or distribution, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the Fair Market Value price per share of Common Stock on the record date for the dividend or distribution minus the amount allocable to one share of Common Stock of the value (as jointly determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Holder) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, other securities or property, so distributed.  For purposes of this Warrant, “ Fair Market Value ” shall equal the   average closing trading price of the Common Stock on the Principal Market for the five (5) Trading Days preceding the date of determination or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any Principal Market, and the average price cannot be determined as contemplated above, the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock shall be as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors and the Holder.  If the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock cannot be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors and the Holder after five (5) business days, such determination shall be made by a third party appraisal firm mutually agreeable by the Board of Directors and the Holder, at the expense of the Company (the “ Independent Appraiser ”).  The fair market value as determined by the Independent Appraiser shall be final.  The Exercise Price shall be reduced to equal: (i) the Exercise Price in effect immediately before the occurrence of any event (ii) multiplied by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately before the adjustment, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the adjustment.
 
 
 
 

 
 
- 7 -

 
 

 

 
c.  
Merger, etc. If at any time after the date hereof there shall be a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into or a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another entity, then the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon or after such transfer, merger or consolidation becoming effective, and upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares or other securities or property of the Company or of the successor corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation, which would have been received by the Holder for the shares of stock subject to this Warrant had this Warrant been exercised just prior to such transfer, merger or consolidation becoming effective or to the applicable record date thereof, as the case may be.  The Company will not merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation, or sell or otherwise transfer its property, assets and business substantially as an entirety to another corporation, unless the corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation (if not the Company), or such transferee corporation, as the case may be, shall expressly assume in writing the due and punctual performance and observance of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company.
 
d.  
Reclassification, etc.   If at any time after the date hereof there shall be a reorganization or reclassification of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, then the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares or other securities or property resulting from such reorganization or reclassification, which would have been received by the Holder for the shares of stock subject to this Warrant had this Warrant at such time been exercised.
 
13.  
Call Provision .  If at any time after the date hereof, (i) the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days (the “ Measurement Period ”) is at least $1.20 (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, stock dividends and the like after the date hereof), (ii) the average daily volume of the Common Stock for such Measurement Period is at least $150,000 per Trading Day, (iii) the Holder is not in possession of any information that constitutes, or might constitute, material non-public information which was provided by the Company, and (iv) there is an effective Registration Statement pursuant to which the Holder is permitted to utilize the prospectus thereunder to resell all of the Warrant Shares, then the Company may, within 1 Trading Day of the end of such Measurement Period, call for cancellation of all or any portion of this Warrant for which a Notice of Exercise has not yet been delivered.  To exercise this right, the Company must deliver to the Holder a written notice (the “ Call Notice ”), indicating therein the unexercised portion of this Warrant to which such notice applies.  Any unexercised portion of this Warrant for which a Notice of Exercise shall not have been received, will be cancelled at 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the thirtieth (30 th ) calendar day after the date of the Call Notice.
 
 
 
 
 

 
- 8 -

 
 

 

 
14.  
Notice of Adjustment .   Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or number or kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, the Company, at its expense, shall promptly mail to the Holder of this Warrant a notice setting forth the number of Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares after such adjustment and setting forth the computation of such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
 
15.  
Authorized Shares .   The Company covenants that during the period the Warrant is outstanding and exercisable, it will reserve and keep available from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide solely for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any and all purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law, regulation, or rule of any applicable market or exchange.
 
16.  
Compliance with Securities Laws .   The Holder hereof acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered (or if no exemption from registration exists), will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.  Each certificate representing the Warrant Shares issued to the Holder upon exercise (if not registered, for resale or otherwise, or if no exemption from registration exists) will bear substantially the following legend: THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ SECURITIES ACT ”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED, TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

17.  
Purpose of Warrant Shares .   Without limiting the Purchaser’s right to transfer, assign or otherwise convey the Warrant or Warrant Shares in compliance with all applicable securities laws, the Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the Purchaser’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and that the Purchaser will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of applicable federal and state securities laws.

Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Subscriber Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Subscribers.
 
(ii)  
In the event any Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement under this Section 4 to the extent permitted by law, each Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 4, the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the registration statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act  of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), (each, a “ Company Indemnified Person ”), against any Claim, insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Subscriber expressly for use in the Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 4, such Subscriber will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any Company Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Subscriber, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Company Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Subscribers.

(iii)  
Promptly after receipt by a Subscriber Indemnified Person or Company Indemnified Person (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”) under this Section 4 of notice of a Claim, such Indemnified Person shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 4, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall, by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within fifteen days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Claim, have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for such Indemnified Person to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Subscriber Indemnified Person or Company Indemnified Person and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. In the case of any Company Indemnified Person, legal counsel referred to in the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the holders holding at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities included in the registration statement to which the Claim relates. The Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Person that relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Person reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Person of a full and general release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation, and such settlement (a) shall provide for the payment by the Indemnifying Party of money as sole relief for the claimant, (b) shall not include any finding or admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Person and (c) shall have no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party.
 
Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 4, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
