ITEM 1.01    ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

ITEM 1.02    TERMINATION OF A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On February 11, 2009, Accelerize New Media, Inc. (the “Company”) and MarketingExperiments, LLC (“MarEx”), a Delaware limited liability company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MECLABS, LLC and an affiliate of MarketingSherpa, LLC and MarketingTouch, LLC executed an Amended Common Stock Purchase Warrant for the purchase of up to 2,708,333 shares of Common Stock of the Company by MarEx (the “Amended Warrant”).

The Amended Warrant was issued in connection with the execution of a Termination and Mutual Release Agreement entered on the same date between the Company and MarEx (the “Termination Agreement”), thereby canceling their prior thirty-six month letter agreement entered on September 12, 2008 (the “Letter Agreement”) and the Common Stock Purchase Warrant that was issued together with it (the “Original Warrant”).

Under the Original Warrant dated as of September 11, 2008, MarEx had the right to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock the Company, of which, 2,500,000 Warrants vested on the issue date, and the other 2,500,000 Warrants were set to vest in twelve equal increments of 208,333.33 shares each, at the end of every 3-month period after the issue date, with the last vesting increment taking place on the third anniversary after the issue date.  The Warrant exercise price was set at $0.55 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board on the Original Warrant’s issue date. As of the termination date, only one such increment has already vested.

The Company and MarEx mutually agreed that MarEx would keep the Warrants to purchase 2,708,333 shares already vested under the Original Warrant and that the remaining 2,291,667 Warrants would be cancelled, with the Company having no further obligation to issue such Warrant shares to MarEx. All other terms of the Original Warrant remained the same.
