On March 26, 2009, Accelerize New Media, Inc. (the “Company”) announced an interim closing of a convertible loan transaction, in the aggregate amount of $617,000, with 16 different lenders. In connection with the loan, the Company issued to each of the lenders a convertible promissory note and a common stock purchase warrant. The notes accrue interest at the rate of 12% per annum and mature in March 2012. Interest may be paid, at the lenders’ option, in cash or in shares of common stock of the Company. If the interest is paid in shares of common stock, the number of shares issuable to satisfy the interest is based on the closing price of the Company’s shares, as quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, on the trading day immediately prior to the interest payment date. The interest is payable on a quarterly basis commencing June 1, 2009 and until the obligations under the notes are satisfied. The Company may prepay the notes in whole or in part as follows: if prior to June 30, 2009, at a premium amounting to the product of 0.5% for each full month remaining between the prepayment date and the maturity date times the applicable prepayment amount, and after June 30, 2009, without premium. The lenders may convert, at their option, the outstanding principal of the notes into Company common stock, after June 30, 2009 and prior to maturity date, at the lesser of: (1) $0.50 per share of common stock; or (2) the effective price per share of a subsequent financing of the Company occurring prior to the respective maturity date.
 
In addition, the Company issued to the lenders common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 308,500 shares. The warrants are exercisable for 5 years and expire on 2014, with an exercise price of $0.55 per share. The exercise price of the warrants and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and reorganizations, or in the event the Company issues shares of common stock or securities convertible or exchange for shares of common stock at an effective price less than the then exercise price of the warrants in which event the exercise price would be adjusted downward.
 
The Company has the right to call the warrants, at a redemption price of $.001 per warrant share, commencing on the first trading day after the common stock of the Company has traded for ten consecutive days at an average closing price at or exceeding $1.25 per share.
 
The Company intends to use the cash proceeds from the loan advances to finance its on going operations, including, development, sales, marketing and support services.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
 
[$________]      
 New York, New York
[February 1, 2009]
 
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Accelerize New Media, Inc. a Delaware corporation  (referred to herein as the “Borrower”), with offices at 12121 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 322, Los Angeles, CA 90025, hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of [_____________________]  (the “Lender”), in lawful money of the United States, at [__________________________________], or such other address as the Lender may from time to time designate, the principal sum of [___________ Dollars ($________)] (the “Principal”).  This Note shall mature and become due and payable in full on [February 15, 2012] (the “Maturity Date”).
 
1.           Terms of Repayment.  Principal of and interest on this Note shall be paid by the Borrower as follows:
 
(a)           Interest at the rate of ten percent (12%) per annum from the date hereof through the Maturity Date shall be payable quarterly on each of June 1, September 1, December 1 and March 1 (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing [June 1, 2009].  Subject to certain limitations detailed within this Note, interest shall be payable at the option of the Lender in cash or shares common stock, par value $0.001 of the Borrower (the “Common Stock”), provided, however, that in the case of interest distributions to retirement based accounts held at National Financial Services (NFS), interest will be paid only in cash.
 
(b)           If interest is payable in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Lender as payment of interest shall be determined by dividing the interest dollar amount due on the respective Interest Payment Date by the Closing Price (as defined below) of the Common Stock on the last Trading Day (as defined below) before the respective Interest Payment Date, and rounding it to the nearest whole number (no fractional shares shall be issued).  As used herein, the term "Trading Day" means a day on which trades are effected on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”), NASDAQ or any other stock exchange on which the Common Stock trades.  As used herein, the term “Closing Price” for each Trading Day shall be: (i) if shares of Common Stock are listed or admitted for trading on any national securities exchange, or the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc., the last sale price of the Common Stock, or the closing bid price thereof if no such sale occurred, in each case as officially reported on the principal securities exchange on which such security is listed, or (ii) if quoted on the OTCBB or any similar system of automated dissemination of quotations of securities prices then in common use the closing high bid quotation of such security in the over-the-counter market as shown by OTCBB or such similar system of automated dissemination of quotations of securities prices.
 

(c)           All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.  Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a business day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day.
 
(d)           Principal shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date, at which time the Principal shall be payable at the option of the Lender in cash or shares of Common Stock.  If then at the Lender’s election the Principal is payable in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Lender shall be determined by dividing the principal amount outstanding on the Maturity Date by the average Closing Price of the Common Stock on the last five (5) Trading Days prior to the Maturity Date.
 
2.           Terms of Prepayment.
 
(a)           At any time on or prior to June 30, 2009, the Borrower may at its sole election prepay all or any portion of the outstanding Principal and any interest amount accrued thereon of the Note solely in cash, provided that the Borrower shall then additionally pay to the Lender in cash a prepayment penalty (the “Penalty”), which Penalty shall be calculated as the product of (I) sum of one half of one percent (0.5%, or 50 basis points) for each open full month remaining on the Note between the prepayment date and the Maturity date, times (II) the Principal amount then prepaid.
 
(b)            At any time on or after June 30, 2009, but prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower may prepay all or any portion of the outstanding Principal and any interest amount accrued thereon of the Note without any premium or penalty, provided however, that if the Borrower then elects to prepay the Principal or any part thereof, the Lender shall have the option to convert any such prepaid Principal amount to shares of Common Stock at the Lender’s Conversion Price (as defined in Section 3, here below).
 
3.           Conversion.
 
The Lender shall have the option, at any time on or after July 01, 2009, but before the Maturity Date, to convert the outstanding Principal of this Note into fully-paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at the Lender’s Conversion Price (as defined below) described below by providing the Borrower with a written notice (“Lender’s Conversion Notice”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.  As used herein, the term “Lender’s Conversion Price” means, as applicable,: (i) fifty cents ($0.50) per share of Common Stock; or (ii) if at any time prior to the Maturity Date the Borrower enters into a New Transaction (as defined below), the Lender’s Conversion Price shall be the New Transaction Price, if lower than the prices provided in Section 3(i). As used herein, the term “New Transaction Price” means the lowest effective purchase price, conversion price or exercise price, as the case may be, in a New Transaction.  As used herein, the term “New Transaction” means any transaction entered into, directly or indirectly, by or for the benefit of the Borrower after the date hereof and before the Maturity Date, pursuant to which shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible or exercisable into shares of Common Stock, are issued by the Borrower, except shares of Common Stock issued under the Accelerize New Media Stock Option Plan.
 

(a)            To exercise any conversion, the holder of this Note, either upon receiving Borrower’s Conversion Notice or upon delivering Lender’s Conversion Notice, shall surrender this Note to the Borrower during usual business hours at the offices of the Borrower, accompanied by a notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
 
(b)           As promptly as practicable after the surrender of this Note by the Lender, the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Lender, certificates for the full number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Principal and interest accrued thereon  under this Note, or any portion thereof, in accordance with the provisions of this Note, together with a duly executed new Note of the Borrower in the form of this Note for any principal amount not so converted.  Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the time that this Note was surrendered for conversion and the notice specified herein shall have been received by the Borrower.
 
(c)           The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note or repayment by the Borrower in shares of Common Stock shall be proportionately adjusted if the Borrower shall declare a dividend of capital stock on its capital stock (except the Pay-In-Kind dividends payable to the holders of the Borrower’s 10% Series A Preferred Convertible Stock and the 8% Series B Preferred Convertible Stock), or subdivide its outstanding capital stock into a larger number of shares by reclassification, stock split or otherwise, which adjustment shall be made effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend, and immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note or any part thereof shall be proportionately adjusted in the amount of securities for which the shares of Common Stock have been changed or exchanged in another transaction for other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other combination.  The Borrower shall promptly provide the holder of this Note with notice of any events mandating an adjustment to the conversion ratio, or for any planned merger, consolidation, share exchange or sale of the Borrower, signed by the President and Chief Executive Officer of Borrower.
 

4.           Representations and Warranties.  The Borrower represents and warrants as follows:  (i) the Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware; (ii) the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Note are within the Borrower's powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary action, and do not contravene (A) the Borrower's certificate of incorporation or by-laws or (B) (x) any law or (y) any agreement or document binding on or affecting the Borrower, (iii) no authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority, regulatory body or third person is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Note; (iv) this Note constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms except as enforcement hereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and subject to the applicability of general principles of equity; (v) the Borrower has all requisite power and authority to own and operate its property and assets and to conduct its business as now conducted and proposed to be conducted and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; (vi)  the Borrower is duly qualified to conduct its business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it, or in which the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary; (vi) there is no pending or, to the Borrower's knowledge, threatened action or proceeding affecting the Borrower before any governmental agency or arbitrator which challenges or relates to this Note or which may otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Borrower; and (viii) the Borrower has taken all required action to reserve for issuance such number of shares of Common Stock as may be issuable from time to time upon conversion of this Note.

1.2.           Full Exercise.  This Warrant may be exercised in full by the Holder hereof by delivery of an original or facsimile copy of the form of subscription attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Subscription Form”) duly executed by such Holder and surrender of the original Warrant within four (4) days of exercise, to the Company at its principal office or at the office of its Warrant Agent (as provided hereinafter), accompanied by payment, in cash, wire transfer or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company, in the amount obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is then exercisable by the Purchase Price then in effect.
 
1.3.           Partial Exercise.  This Warrant may be exercised in part (but not for a fractional share) by surrender of this Warrant in the manner and at the place provided in subsection 1.2 except that the amount payable by the Holder on such partial exercise shall be the amount obtained by multiplying (a) the number of whole shares of Common Stock designated by the Holder in the Subscription Form by (b) the Purchase Price then in effect.  On any such partial exercise, the Company, at its expense, will forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder hereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Holder hereof or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, the whole number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant may still be exercised.
 
1.4.           Fair Market Value. Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of a particular date (the “Determination Date”) shall mean:
 
(a)           If the Company’s Common Stock is traded on an exchange or is quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., then the last sale price reported for the last business day immediately preceding the Determination Date;
 
(b)           If the Company’s Common Stock is not traded on an exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. but is traded in the over-the-counter market, then the average of the closing bid and ask prices reported for the last business day immediately preceding the Determination Date;
 
Page 2

(c)           Except as provided in clause (d) below, if the Company’s Common Stock is not publicly traded, then as the Holder and the Company agree, or in the absence of such an agreement, by arbitration in accordance with the rules then standing of the American Arbitration Association, before a single arbitrator to be chosen from a panel of persons qualified by education and training to pass on the matter to be decided; or
 
(d)           If the Determination Date is the date of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or any event deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up pursuant to the Company’s charter, then all amounts to be payable per share to holders of the Common Stock pursuant to the charter in the event of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, plus all other amounts to be payable per share in respect of the Common Stock in liquidation under the charter, assuming for the purposes of this clause (d) that all of the shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of all of the Warrants are outstanding at the Determination Date.
 
1.5.           Company Acknowledgment. The Company will, at the time of the exercise of the Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder any rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. If the Holder shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford to such Holder any such rights.
 
1.6.           Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. on Exercise.  The Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such shares as aforesaid. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any event within three (3) business days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder hereof, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in compliance with applicable securities laws, a certificate or certificates for the number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value of one full share of Common Stock, together with any other stock or other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which such Holder is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.
 
1.7.           Forced Exercise by the Company.   The Company reserves the right to call the Warrants, at a redemption price of $.001 per Warrant, commencing on the first trading day after the Common Stock of the Company has traded for ten (10) consecutive days at an average closing price at or exceeding $1.25 per share. The call may be made within ten (10) days from the date the Company’s Common Stock satisfies the average trading price described above, but the Company is not required to make any such call and may make the call on the terms described at any future date where the trading price of the common stock satisfies the above criterion. Investors will have thirty (30) days from the date of such notice to exercise the Warrants, and in the event the Warrants are not exercised, the Company may cancel them, and investors will receive payment of $0.001 per Warrant share.  The Company will also have the right to assign the right to exercise the Warrant for a period of thirty (30) days to another Purchaser in this offering or to any other person whether or not such person is an existing shareholder of the Company.  Investors will not receive any proceeds in the event such other person exercises the Warrant.

2.           Adjustments.
 
2.1.           Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc.  In case at any time or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or merge into any other person or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder of this Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such Holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 3.

2.2.           Dissolution.  In the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, prior to such dissolution, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable in accordance with Section 2.1 by the Holder of the Warrants upon their exercise after the effective date of such dissolution pursuant to this Section 2.

2.3.           Continuation of Terms.  Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this Section 2, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the Other Securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any Other Securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 3.

3.           Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock.  In the event that the Company shall (a) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (b) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Purchase Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase Price then in effect. The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 3. The number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 3) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Purchase Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 3) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Purchase Price in effect on the date of such exercise.

4.           Certificate as to Adjustments.  In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of the Warrants, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder of the Warrant and any Warrant Agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 9 hereof).
 
5.           Reservation of Stock, etc. Issuable on Exercise of Warrant; Financial Statements.  The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of the Warrants, all shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of the Warrant.  This Warrant entitles the Holder hereof to receive copies of all financial and other information distributed or required to be distributed to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock.
 
6.           Assignment; Exchange of Warrant.  Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may be transferred by any registered holder hereof (a “Transferor”). On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the Transferor’s endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Transferor Endorsement Form”) and together with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the transfer of this Warrant will be in compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company at its expense, once, only, but with payment by the Transferor of any applicable transfer taxes, will issue and deliver to or on the order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Endorsement Form (each a “Transferee”), calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor.  No such transfers shall result in a public distribution of the Warrant.

7.           Replacement of Warrant.  On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense, twice only, will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

8.           Warrant Agent.  The Company may, by written notice to the Holder of the Warrant, appoint an agent (a “Warrant Agent”) for the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or Other Securities) on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1, exchanging this Warrant pursuant to Section 6, and replacing this Warrant pursuant to Section 7, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by such Warrant Agent.
