Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 24, 2012, Authentidate Holding Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue to the Investors an aggregate principal amount of $3,300,000 of senior secured promissory notes (the “Notes”) and common stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase a total of 2,558,139 shares of its common stock for gross proceeds of $3,300,000 (the “Financing”). The Notes are senior secured promissory notes and are not convertible into equity securities of the Company. The Notes are due and payable on the first to occur of October 31, 2013 or the consummation of a subsequent financing, as defined in the Notes. No interest shall accrue on the Notes and the Notes contain covenants and events of default customary for similar transactions. The Notes will be secured by a first priority lien on all of the Company’s assets in accordance with, and subject to, a Security Agreement between the Company and the Investors, dated as of the date of the Purchase Agreement.

The Warrants will be exercisable for a period of 54 months commencing on the six month anniversary of the date on which they are issued and will have an initial exercise price of $1.34 per share. The exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares and similar recapitalization transactions. The closing of the Financing occurred on September 28, 2012. The net proceeds to the Company from the transaction, after deducting the Company’s estimated offering expenses, and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Warrants issued in the offering, are approximately $3,250,000. The Company will use the net proceeds from the transaction for general business and working capital purposes, which may include, among other matters, the redemption of the Company’s outstanding shares of preferred stock.

In connection with the Financing, as of September 24, 2012, the Company also entered into an amendment agreement (the “Amendment”) with the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the senior secured promissory notes issued in March 2012 (the “Prior Notes”), to extend the maturity date of such notes to October 31, 2013 and grant pari passu rights to the new notes issued in the above Financing. In connection with and in consideration of this extension, we agreed to issue the holders of the Prior Notes warrants (the “Extension Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 2,197,674 shares of common stock with the same terms as the Warrants issued in the Financing. The number of Extension Warrants to be issued to each holder of a Prior Note shall be determined pro rata, based on the principal amount of the Prior Notes held by such holder.

The Notes, Warrants and Extension Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration. The description of terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Amendment, and the forms of each of the Note, Warrant and Extension Warrant described herein does not purport to be complete and each is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the form of the Note, the Warrant, the Extension Warrant, the Purchase Agreement, the Security Agreement and the Amendment, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

In addition, we also entered into a Board Nomination and Observer Agreement (the “Board Agreement”) with Lazarus Investment Partners, LLLP (“Lazarus Investment”) pursuant to which we granted it the right, to be exercised within a 180-day period, to appoint either an observer to our board of directors or to nominate an individual for election to our board of directors. So long as Lazarus Investment owns 5% or more of our outstanding common stock it may designate an observer to attend all meetings of our board in a non-voting capacity for a period of two years. In addition, in lieu of designating an observer, so long as it owns at least 10% of our outstanding common stock, Lazarus Investment shall have the right to designate one person to be nominated for election to the board. If Lazarus Investment nominates an individual for election to our board, we shall promptly increase the size of the board, appoint such nominee as a member of the board and, subject to the terms of the Board Agreement, use our best efforts to include such nominee in the slate of nominees recommended for election as a director for three years. The description of the Board Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Board Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4 and incorporated herein by reference.

The following investors that participated in the Financing are related parties of the Company. An entity affiliated with J. David Luce, a member of our board of directors, and his spouse, agreed to purchase an aggregate principal amount of $1,150,000 of Notes and 891,473 Warrants. In addition, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a member of its

2

board of directors, O’Connell Benjamin, and its Chief Financial Officer, William Marshall, each agreed to purchase an aggregate principal amount of $50,000 of Notes and 38,760 Warrants. Further, Lazarus Investment, which is the beneficial owner of approximately 23.8% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the offering, agreed to purchase an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 of Notes and 775,194 Warrants. The manager of the general partner of Lazarus Investment is the brother of Dr. Todd A. Borus, a member of our board of directors. The participation by these investors was on the same terms as the other investors in the offering. Further, due to their ownership of Prior Notes, we will issue Extension Warrants to the following related parties: entities affiliated with Mr. Luce will be issued a total of 813,953 Extension Warrants; John Waters, a director, will be issued 81,395 Extension Warrants, each of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer will be issued 27,131 Extension Warrants and Lazarus Investment will be issued 542,636 Extension Warrants.

The Company issued a press release announcing the transaction on September 28, 2012. Such press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information disclosed in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K concerning the Financing is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.

Such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This disclosure does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Company’s securities, nor will there be any sales of these securities by the Company in any state or jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

SENIOR SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE

No. 2012 – B	September     , 2012
	U.S.$

1. Senior Secured Promissory Note.

This Senior Secured Promissory Note is one of a duly authorized series of obligations (individually, the “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”) of Authentidate Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). This Note is being issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) among the Company and the original holders of the Notes pursuant to which the Company has issued an aggregate principal amount of $         of Notes. By its acceptance of this Note, each Holder agrees to be bound by the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The Notes are secured obligations of the Company, to the extent provided for in the Security Agreement dated as of the date of the Purchase Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) entered into among the Company and the holders of the Notes, and shall be senior in right of payment to all other Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries subject to the terms herein. This note is a direct obligation of the Company and ranks pari passu in right of payment with all other Notes now or hereafter issued in accordance with the Purchase Agreement under the terms set forth herein. All payments on the Notes shall be made pro rata to the Holders thereof based upon the principal amount of each Note then outstanding.

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein, shall have the respective meanings given to those terms in Section 8 hereof. Other capitalized terms used in this Note that are not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

2. Principal and Interest.

(a) The Company for value received, hereby promises to pay to                              or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), the principal sum of                      DOLLARS (U.S. $        .00) on the first to occur of (i) October 31, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”) or (ii) the consummation of the Next Financing (as defined below), subject to early redemption (if any), as provided in Section 5 below. No interest shall accrue on this Note.

1

(b) Payment of the principal of this Note shall be made upon the surrender of this Note to the Company, at its chief executive office (or such other office within the United States as shall be designated by the Company to the Holder hereof) (the “Designated Office”), in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. Payment of principal and all other amounts payable with respect to the Notes shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Holder; provided that if the Holder entitled thereto shall not have furnished wire instructions in writing to the Company on or prior to the third Business Day immediately prior to the date on which the Company makes such payment, such payment may be made by U.S. dollar check mailed to the address of the Holder entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the signature page herewith.

3. Seniority and Security.

(a) Seniority of Note. This Note shall rank (i) on parity with the Prior Notes with respect to the right of repayment and claim under the security interest in and to any or all of the Collateral and (ii) senior to any and all other Indebtedness, as defined below, of the Company, unless the Company receives the prior written consent of the Holders of a Majority in Interest, to otherwise incur Indebtedness senior to or on parity with this Note. This Note is issued subject to the provisions of this Section 3 and each person taking or holding this Note, accepts and agrees to be bound by these provisions.

(b) Prior Notes. The Holder hereby confirms that regardless of the relative times of attachment or perfection thereof, and regardless of anything in any Transaction Agreements to the contrary, any security interests or liens granted from time to time to the Prior Notes in all or any part of the Collateral as security for the Prior Notes, shall in all respects be pari passu security interests and liens, on parity with any security interests or liens at any time granted to the Holders of the Notes in such Collateral as security for the obligations evidenced by the Notes. The priorities specified herein are applicable irrespective of the time, order or method of attachment or perfection of security interests or the time or order of filing of financing statements. Each Holder agrees not to seek to challenge, to avoid, to subordinate or to contest or directly or indirectly to support any other Person in challenging, avoiding, subordinating or contesting in any judicial or other proceeding, including, without limitation, any proceeding involving the Company, the priority, validity, extent, perfection or enforceability of any lien held by the holders of the Prior Notes in all or any part of the Collateral.

(c) Security Interest. As security for the full, prompt and complete payment and performance of the Company’s obligations hereunder, the Company hereby grants to the Holder of this Note, equally and ratably with the security interests granted to the other Holders of other Notes issued under the Purchase Agreement, a security interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Security Agreement and subject in all respects to the holders of the Permitted Liens. Except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Security Agreement, the Holder will not individually exercise any remedy with respect to any of the Collateral secured by the Permitted Liens, nor will the Holder commence, or cause to commence, prosecute or participate in any administrative, legal or equitable action against the Company with respect to the Collateral secured by Permitted Liens.

4. Redemption. At any time and from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, upon no less than 20 days’ written notice by the Company to the Holder (the “Redemption Notice”), all or a portion of the then outstanding Notes may be redeemed by payment of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed at the end of such 20-day notice period (the “Redemption Amount”). The last day of such 20 day notice period shall be the “Redemption Date”. Provided the Company tenders the Redemption Amount on the Redemption Date, the principal amount of the Notes noticed for prepayment shall, after the Redemption Date, represent only the right to receive the Redemption Amount and shall not be considered outstanding for any other purposes.

2

5. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees that, so long as this Note remains outstanding and unpaid, in whole or in part:

(a) Payment of Principal and Interest. The Company will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of this Note, at the time and in the manner provided for herein.

(b) Preservation of Business. Unless otherwise permitted herein, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and the rights (charter and statutory) of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right if (a) the Company shall determine in good faith that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holder or (b) the Company shall no longer continue to have such right as a result of a good faith, arms-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company.

(c) Payment of Taxes. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, promptly pay and discharge all lawful taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it, its income and profits, or any of its property, before the same shall become in default, as well as all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies, which amounts if unpaid, might become a material lien or charge upon such properties or any part thereof. However, the Company or such Subsidiary shall not be required to pay and discharge any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim so long as the validity thereof shall be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect to any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim so contested.

(d) Maintenance of Property. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, at all times maintain, preserve, protect and keep its property used or useful in the conduct of its business in good repair, working order and condition and will, from time to time, make all necessary and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto.

(e) Insurance. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep adequately insured, by financially sound reputable insurers, all property of a character usually insured by similar corporations and carry such other insurance as is usually carried by similar corporations.

(f) Books and Records. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, at all times maintain books of account in which all of its financial transactions are duly recorded in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles.

(g) Other Indebtedness. Unless the Holders of at least a Majority in Interest shall have otherwise given prior written consent, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, incur or guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness, other than (i) the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note and the other Notes issued under the Purchase Agreement and (ii) Permitted Indebtedness.

(h) Existence of Liens. Unless the Holders of at least a Majority in Interest shall have otherwise given prior written consent, so long as this Note is outstanding or upon the earlier termination of the Security Agreement, the Company shall not, and the Company shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, allow or suffer to exist any Liens upon or in any property or assets owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than Permitted Liens.

3

6. Events of Default.

(a) “Event of Default”, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

(1) the Company defaults in the payment of the principal (a “Defaulted Payment”) on any of the Notes or the Prior Notes when the same becomes due and payable at the Maturity Date, and such default continues for 15 days or longer;

(2) the Company fails to perform or observe any other material term, covenant or agreement contained in this Note or the Purchase Agreement, and the default continues for a period of 30 days after written notice of such failure, requiring the Company to remedy the same, shall have been given to the Company by the holders of at least a Majority in Interest of the outstanding Notes;

(3) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by or on behalf of the Company in or in connection with the Purchase Agreement or in the other agreements entered into in connection herewith, shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made;

(4) any proceeding under any applicable U.S. federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law relating to the Company or to all or any material part of its properties is instituted against the Company without its consent and continues undismissed or unstayed for sixty (60) calendar days, or any order for relief is entered in any such proceeding or there is an entry by a court having competent jurisdiction of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable U.S. federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Company bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company, under any applicable U.S. federal or state law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs; or

(5) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable U.S. federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by the Company to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable U.S. federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against the Company, or the consent by the Company to the appointment of or the taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by the Company of an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

(b) Acceleration of Payment. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6(a)(4) or 6(a)(5) hereof with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Holders of at least a Majority in Interest of the Notes, by written notice to the Company, may declare due and payable the principal of this Note and all other outstanding Notes in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Security Agreement. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal shall be

4

immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6(a)(4) or 6(a)(5) occurs with respect to the Company, the principal of this Note shall become and be immediately due and payable, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Holder.

The Holders of not less than a Majority in Interest of the principal of the outstanding Notes may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind and annul an acceleration and its consequences (including waiver of any defaults) if: (1) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of a Defaulted Payment on this Note and any of the other Notes that have become due solely because of the acceleration, have been remedied, cured or waived, and (2) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Collections. If an Event of Default with respect to this Note occurs and is continuing, the Holder may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the Defaulted Payment or to enforce the performance of any provision of this Note in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Security Agreement.

(d) Right to Receive Payment Upon Default. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Note, the Holder of this Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal in respect of the Notes held by the Holder, on or after the final Maturity Date, or in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Security Agreement, to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such date, and such rights shall not be impaired or affected adversely without the consent of the Holder.

(e) No Exclusive Right or Remedy. Except as otherwise provided herein, no right or remedy conferred in this Note upon the Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

(f) No Waiver of Right or Remedy. No delay or omission of the Holder of this Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or any acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Section 6 or by law to the Holder may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Holder.

7. Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) This Note has not been registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction. Neither this Note nor any interest or participation herein may be reoffered, sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (a “Transfer”) in the absence of such registration or unless (i) such transaction is exempt from, or not subject to, registration under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction and (ii) is made in compliance with applicable federal and state statutory resale restrictions, if any. The Holder by its acceptance of this Note agrees that it shall not offer, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of this Note or any portion thereof or interest therein other than in a minimum denomination of $50,000 principal amount (or any integral multiple of $10,000 in excess thereof) and then (other than with respect to a Transfer pursuant to a registration statement that is effective at the time of such Transfer) only (a) to the Company, (b) to an Affiliate of the Holder, (c) to a Person it reasonably believes to be an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, or (d) pursuant to a transaction in compliance with Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and in the case of (b),

5

(c) and (d) above in which the transferor furnishes the Company with such certifications, legal opinions or other information as the Company may reasonably request to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act as applicable.

(b) The Holder represents that it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of the Securities Act. The Holder has been advised that this Note has not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws and, therefore, cannot be resold unless it is registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration requirements is available. The Holder is aware that the Company is under no obligation to effect any such registration or to file for or comply with any exemption from registration. The Holder has not been formed solely for the purpose of making this investment and is acquiring the Note for its own account for investment, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, the distribution thereof.

2. Exercise of Warrant.

(a) Manner of Exercise.

(i) Cash Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, during the period commencing as of 9:30:01 a.m., New York time, on the Initial Exercise Date and ending as of 5:30 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (the “Exercise Period”), for              fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”), for an exercise price per share equal to the Exercise Price, by delivery to the Company at its headquarters, or at such other place as is designated in writing by the Company, of:

(1) a duly executed Notice of Exercise, substantially in the form of Attachment I attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein;

(2) this Warrant; and

(3) subject to Section 2(a)(ii) below, payment of an amount in cash equal to the product of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares being purchased upon such exercise, with such payment being in the form of a wire transfer of immediately available U.S. funds to an account designated in writing by the Company.

The date on which the Company receives the Notice of Exercise, this Warrant, and the Exercise Price payable with respect to the Warrant Shares being purchased shall be deemed to be the date of exercise (the “Date of Exercise”).

(ii) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(a)(i)(3) above (requiring payment by wire transfer), the Company agrees that, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law, the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant in full or in part on a cashless basis, computed using the following formula:

X = Y (A - B)

    A

Where:

X = The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this cashless exercise;

Y = The number of Warrant Shares in respect of which the net issue election is made;

A = The Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one Warrant Share at the time the cashless exercise election is made; and

B = The Exercise Price then in effect at the time of such exercise.

- 2 -

The term “Fair Market Value” shall mean, on any given day: (A) if the class of Warrant Shares is exchange-traded, the average of the closing sales prices per share of the class of Warrant Shares for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the day that is two (2) trading days prior to the applicable date of determination of Fair Market Value; or (B) if the class of Warrant Shares is not listed or admitted to trading on any securities exchange but is regularly traded in any over-the-counter market, then the average of the bid and ask prices per share of the class of Warrant Shares for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the day that is two (2) trading days prior to the applicable date of determination of Fair Market Value; or (C) if the class of Warrant Shares is not traded as described in clauses (A) or (B), then the per share fair market value of the class of Warrant Shares as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

(b) Delivery of Certificates. Certificates for Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system if the Company is a participant in such system and such Warrant Shares are eligible for delivery in such a manner, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise within three Business Days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, surrender of this Warrant and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (the “Delivery Period”). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date on which this Warrant is surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price is received by the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date on which all of the criteria described in the immediately preceding sentence have occurred, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open. If fewer than all of the Warrant Shares purchasable under the Warrant are purchased, the Company will, upon such partial exercise, execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (dated as of the Issue Date), in the same form and tenor as this Warrant, evidencing that portion of the Warrant not exercised.

(c) Delivery of Electronic Shares. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise (provided that the transfer agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer program and provided further that the Holder provides the transfer agent with information required in order to issue such Warrant Shares to the Holder electronically), upon the request of the Holder as set forth in the Notice of Exercise, but only if the Warrant Shares may be issued without restrictive legends, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit, within the Delivery Period, the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise to the Holder by crediting Holder’s account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system. Any delivery not effected by electronic transmission shall be effected by delivery of physical certificates.

(d) No Fractional Shares. If a fractional share of Warrant Shares would, but for the provisions of this Section 2(d), be issuable upon exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, the Company shall (i) round a half share or greater to be delivered to Holder up to the next whole share and (ii) round a less-than-half share to be delivered to Holder down to the nearest whole share.

(e) Buy-In. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, in addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the applicable Warrant Shares purchased upon exercise hereof or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC, as applicable, on or before the end of the Delivery Period (other than a failure caused by any incorrect or incomplete information provided by

- 3 -

Holder to the Company hereunder), and if after such date the Holder purchases shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Warrant Shares that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company upon exercise of this Warrant (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three Business Days after the Holder’s request, (1) pay cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue, by (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored, or deliver to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit the 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 the Securities as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(f) No Charge to Holder Upon Issuance. The issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to Holder for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such exercise and the related issuance of Warrant Shares (other than any transfer taxes resulting from the issuance of Warrant Shares to any person other than Holder).

(g) Reservation of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock such number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the full exercise of this Warrant. All Warrant Shares which are so issuable shall, when issued and upon the payment of the applicable Exercise Price, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges and not subject to the pre-emptive rights of any holder of Common Stock or any other class or series of stock of the Company. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall not take any action which would cause the number of authorized but unissued Common Stock to be less than the number of such shares required to be reserved hereunder for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant.

(h) Limitations on Exercises.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, this Warrant shall not be exercisable by the Holder hereof to the extent (but only to the extent) that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise, such Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such issuance. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether this Warrant shall be exercisable (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates) and of which such securities shall be exercisable (as among all such securities owned by the Holder) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. For the purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Warrant. For any reason at any time,

- 4 -

upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities into Common Stock. The provisions of this Section 2(h)(i) may be waived by such Holder, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, and the provisions of this Section 2(h)(i) shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by such Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver). At 12:00 a.m., New York Time, on the 62^nd day following the provision of the notice referred to in the preceding sentence, the exercise limitation set forth above shall expire.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything else set forth herein, if required under applicable law or regulation, in no event shall this Warrant be exercisable by the Holder to the extent that the Holder or any of its affiliates and any other Person whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding at the time of such issuance unless any issuances in excess of the foregoing limitation are approved by the Company’s common stockholders.

3. Adjustments in Certain Events. The number, class, and price of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant may be exercised are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:

(a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock are divided into a greater number of shares, by forward stock split or otherwise, or a dividend in stock is paid on the Common Stock, then the number of shares of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is then exercisable will be proportionately increased and the Exercise Price will be proportionately reduced. Conversely, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock are combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, by reverse stock split or otherwise, then the number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is then exercisable will be proportionately reduced and the Exercise Price will be proportionately increased. The increases and reductions provided for in this Section 3(a) will be made with the intent and, as nearly as practicable, the effect that neither the percentage of the total equity of the Company obtainable on exercise of the Warrants nor the price payable for such percentage upon such exercise will be affected by any event described in this Section 3(a).

(b) Merger, Consolidation, Reclassification, Reorganization, Etc. In case of any change in the Common Stock through merger, consolidation, reclassification, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation, purchase of all or substantially all the assets of the Company, or other change in the capital structure of the Company, then, as a condition of such change, lawful and adequate provision will be made so that the Holder will have the right thereafter to receive upon the exercise of the Warrant the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property to which he would have been entitled if, immediately prior to such event, he had held the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon the exercise of the Warrant. In any such case, appropriate adjustment will be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Holder, to the end that the provisions set forth herein will thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrant. The Company will not permit any change in its capital structure to occur unless the issuer of the shares of stock or other securities to be received by the Holder, if not the Company, agrees to be bound by and comply with the provisions of this Warrant.

- 5 -

(c) If securities of the Company or securities of any subsidiary of the Company are distributed pro rata to holders of Common Stock, such number of securities will be distributed to the Holder or its assignee upon exercise of its rights hereunder as such Holder or assignee would have been entitled to if this Warrant had been exercised prior to the record date for such distribution. The provisions with respect to adjustment of the Common Stock provided in this Section 3 will also apply to the securities to which the Holder or its assignee is entitled under this Section 3(c).

4. No Rights as a Stockholder. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, including without limitation, or Holders the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meetings of stockholders for the election of directors the right to receive dividends or any other matter.

5. Restrictions on Transfer; Legends.

(a) Registration or Exemption Required. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Holder contained in herein, this Warrant has been issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and exempt from state registration or qualification under applicable state laws. The Holder acknowledges that he has been advised by the Company that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof have not been registered under the Securities Act. Neither this Warrant nor the Warrant Shares may be pledged, transferred, sold or assigned except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the transferee be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act or a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.

(b) Representations of Holder. The Holder represents and warrants that he has acquired this Warrant and will acquire the Warrant Shares for his own account for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof or the granting of any participation therein, and that he has no present intention of distributing or selling to others any of such interest or granting any participation therein. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant and Warrant Shares must be held indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any applicable state securities or “blue-sky” laws or is exempt from registration and/or qualification. The Holder has no need for liquidity in its investment in the Company, and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period and to afford a complete loss thereof. The Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 (the provisions of which are known to the Holder) promulgated under the Act.

(c) Restrictive Legend. The Holder understands that until such time as the Warrant Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, this Warrant and the

- 6 -

Warrant Shares, as applicable, shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the form set forth on the cover page of this Warrant (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such securities).

(d) Disposition of Warrant or Warrant Shares. With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares prior to registration of such Warrant Shares, the Holder agrees to give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to the Company (which shall include such representation of the transferee regarding investment intent as the Company may request, to the effect that such offer, sale or other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Act as then in effect or any federal or state securities law then in effect) of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares and indicating whether or not under the Securities Act certificates for this Warrant or Warrant Shares to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such law. Upon receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory evidence, the Company, as promptly as practicable but no later than seven (7) days after receipt of the written notice, shall notify the Holder that the Holder may sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or Warrant Shares, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. If the Company determines that the evidence is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify the Holder promptly with details thereof after such determination has been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Warrant Shares may be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Rule 144 under the Act and in compliance with the applicable statutory resale restrictions imposed by state securities laws, provided that the Company shall have been furnished with such information as the Company may reasonably request to provide a reasonable assurance that the provisions of Rule 144 and the applicable resale restrictions imposed by state securities laws have been satisfied. Each certificate representing this Warrant or the Warrant Shares thus transferred shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such laws, unless pursuant to an opinion of counsel for the Holder, such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with such laws. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions.

(e) Removal of Restrictive Legends. The certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend restricting the transfer thereof: (A) while a registration statement covering the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares is effective under the Securities Act and such legend removal is permitted under applicable securities laws (including compliance with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act), or (B) following any sale of such Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (C) if such Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1), or (D) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) and the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel to the Holder in form reasonably acceptable to the Company to such effect (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to its transfer agent if required by the transfer agent to effect the issuance of the Warrant Shares, as applicable, without a restrictive legend or removal of the legend hereunder. The Company agrees that at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions are met, it will, no later than three (3) Trading Days following the delivery by the Holder to the Company or the transfer agent of a certificate representing Warrant Shares, issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder a certificate (or electronic transfer) representing such Warrant Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends.

6. Registration Rights. The Holder shall be entitled to all of the rights and subject to all of the obligations regarding registration of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant as described in the Purchase Agreement.

- 7 -

7. Notices; Adjustments.

(a) Manner of Exercise.

(i) Cash Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, during the period commencing as of 9:30:01 a.m., New York time, on the Initial Exercise Date and ending as of 5:30 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (the “Exercise Period”), for              fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”), for an exercise price per share equal to the Exercise Price, by delivery to the Company at its headquarters, or at such other place as is designated in writing by the Company, of:

(1) a duly executed Notice of Exercise, substantially in the form of Attachment I attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein;

(2) this Warrant; and

(3) subject to Section 2(a)(ii) below, payment of an amount in cash equal to the product of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares being purchased upon such exercise, with such payment being in the form of a wire transfer of immediately available U.S. funds to an account designated in writing by the Company.

The date on which the Company receives the Notice of Exercise, this Warrant, and the Exercise Price payable with respect to the Warrant Shares being purchased shall be deemed to be the date of exercise (the “Date of Exercise”).

(ii) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(a)(i)(3) above (requiring payment by wire transfer), the Company agrees that, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law, the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant in full or in part on a cashless basis, computed using the following formula:

X = Y (A - B)

Where:

X = The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this cashless exercise;

Y = The number of Warrant Shares in respect of which the net issue election is made;

A = The Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one Warrant Share at the time the cashless exercise election is made; and

B = The Exercise Price then in effect at the time of such exercise.

- 2 -

The term “Fair Market Value” shall mean, on any given day: (A) if the class of Warrant Shares is exchange-traded, the average of the closing sales prices per share of the class of Warrant Shares for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the day that is two (2) trading days prior to the applicable date of determination of Fair Market Value; or (B) if the class of Warrant Shares is not listed or admitted to trading on any securities exchange but is regularly traded in any over-the-counter market, then the average of the bid and ask prices per share of the class of Warrant Shares for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the day that is two (2) trading days prior to the applicable date of determination of Fair Market Value; or (C) if the class of Warrant Shares is not traded as described in clauses (A) or (B), then the per share fair market value of the class of Warrant Shares as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

(b) Delivery of Certificates. Certificates for Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system if the Company is a participant in such system and such Warrant Shares are eligible for delivery in such a manner, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise within three Business Days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, surrender of this Warrant and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (the “Delivery Period”). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date on which this Warrant is surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price is received by the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date on which all of the criteria described in the immediately preceding sentence have occurred, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open. If fewer than all of the Warrant Shares purchasable under the Warrant are purchased, the Company will, upon such partial exercise, execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (dated as of the Issue Date), in the same form and tenor as this Warrant, evidencing that portion of the Warrant not exercised.

(c) Delivery of Electronic Shares. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise (provided that the transfer agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer program and provided further that the Holder provides the transfer agent with information required in order to issue such Warrant Shares to the Holder electronically), upon the request of the Holder as set forth in the Notice of Exercise, but only if the Warrant Shares may be issued without restrictive legends, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit, within the Delivery Period, the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise to the Holder by crediting Holder’s account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system. Any delivery not effected by electronic transmission shall be effected by delivery of physical certificates.

(d) No Fractional Shares. If a fractional share of Warrant Shares would, but for the provisions of this Section 2(d), be issuable upon exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, the Company shall (i) round a half share or greater to be delivered to Holder up to the next whole share and (ii) round a less-than-half share to be delivered to Holder down to the nearest whole share.

(e) Buy-In. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, in addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the applicable Warrant Shares purchased upon exercise hereof or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC, as applicable, on or before the end of the Delivery Period (other than a failure caused by any incorrect or incomplete information provided by

- 3 -

Holder to the Company hereunder), and if after such date the Holder purchases shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Warrant Shares that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company upon exercise of this Warrant (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three Business Days after the Holder’s request, (1) pay cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue, by (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored, or deliver to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit the 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 the Securities as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(f) No Charge to Holder Upon Issuance. The issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to Holder for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such exercise and the related issuance of Warrant Shares (other than any transfer taxes resulting from the issuance of Warrant Shares to any person other than Holder).

(g) Reservation of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock such number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the full exercise of this Warrant. All Warrant Shares which are so issuable shall, when issued and upon the payment of the applicable Exercise Price, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges and not subject to the pre-emptive rights of any holder of Common Stock or any other class or series of stock of the Company. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall not take any action which would cause the number of authorized but unissued Common Stock to be less than the number of such shares required to be reserved hereunder for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant.

(h) Limitations on Exercises.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, this Warrant shall not be exercisable by the Holder hereof to the extent (but only to the extent) that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise, such Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such issuance. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether this Warrant shall be exercisable (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates) and of which such securities shall be exercisable (as among all such securities owned by the Holder) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. For the purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Warrant. For any reason at any time,

- 4 -

upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities into Common Stock. The provisions of this Section 2(h)(i) may be waived by such Holder, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, and the provisions of this Section 2(h)(i) shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by such Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver). At 12:00 a.m., New York Time, on the 62^nd day following the provision of the notice referred to in the preceding sentence, the exercise limitation set forth above shall expire.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything else set forth herein, if required under applicable law or regulation, in no event shall this Warrant be exercisable by the Holder to the extent that the Holder or any of its affiliates and any other Person whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding at the time of such issuance unless any issuances in excess of the foregoing limitation are approved by the Company’s common stockholders.

3. Adjustments in Certain Events. The number, class, and price of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant may be exercised are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:

(a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock are divided into a greater number of shares, by forward stock split or otherwise, or a dividend in stock is paid on the Common Stock, then the number of shares of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is then exercisable will be proportionately increased and the Exercise Price will be proportionately reduced. Conversely, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock are combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, by reverse stock split or otherwise, then the number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is then exercisable will be proportionately reduced and the Exercise Price will be proportionately increased. The increases and reductions provided for in this Section 3(a) will be made with the intent and, as nearly as practicable, the effect that neither the percentage of the total equity of the Company obtainable on exercise of the Warrants nor the price payable for such percentage upon such exercise will be affected by any event described in this Section 3(a).

(b) Merger, Consolidation, Reclassification, Reorganization, Etc. In case of any change in the Common Stock through merger, consolidation, reclassification, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation, purchase of all or substantially all the assets of the Company, or other change in the capital structure of the Company, then, as a condition of such change, lawful and adequate provision will be made so that the Holder will have the right thereafter to receive upon the exercise of the Warrant the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property to which he would have been entitled if, immediately prior to such event, he had held the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon the exercise of the Warrant. In any such case, appropriate adjustment will be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Holder, to the end that the provisions set forth herein will thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrant. The Company will not permit any change in its capital structure to occur unless the issuer of the shares of stock or other securities to be received by the Holder, if not the Company, agrees to be bound by and comply with the provisions of this Warrant.

- 5 -

(c) If securities of the Company or securities of any subsidiary of the Company are distributed pro rata to holders of Common Stock, such number of securities will be distributed to the Holder or its assignee upon exercise of its rights hereunder as such Holder or assignee would have been entitled to if this Warrant had been exercised prior to the record date for such distribution. The provisions with respect to adjustment of the Common Stock provided in this Section 3 will also apply to the securities to which the Holder or its assignee is entitled under this Section 3(c).

4. No Rights as a Stockholder. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, including without limitation, or Holders the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meetings of stockholders for the election of directors the right to receive dividends or any other matter.

5. Restrictions on Transfer; Legends.

(a) Registration or Exemption Required. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Holder contained in herein, this Warrant has been issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and exempt from state registration or qualification under applicable state laws. The Holder acknowledges that he has been advised by the Company that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof have not been registered under the Securities Act. Neither this Warrant nor the Warrant Shares may be pledged, transferred, sold or assigned except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the transferee be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act or a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.

(b) Representations of Holder. The Holder represents and warrants that he has acquired this Warrant and will acquire the Warrant Shares for his own account for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof or the granting of any participation therein, and that he has no present intention of distributing or selling to others any of such interest or granting any participation therein. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant and Warrant Shares must be held indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any applicable state securities or “blue-sky” laws or is exempt from registration and/or qualification. The Holder has no need for liquidity in its investment in the Company, and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period and to afford a complete loss thereof. The Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 (the provisions of which are known to the Holder) promulgated under the Act.

(c) Restrictive Legend. The Holder understands that until such time as the Warrant Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, this Warrant and the

- 6 -

Warrant Shares, as applicable, shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the form set forth on the cover page of this Warrant (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such securities).

(d) Disposition of Warrant or Warrant Shares. With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares prior to registration of such Warrant Shares, the Holder agrees to give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to the Company (which shall include such representation of the transferee regarding investment intent as the Company may request, to the effect that such offer, sale or other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Act as then in effect or any federal or state securities law then in effect) of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares and indicating whether or not under the Securities Act certificates for this Warrant or Warrant Shares to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such law. Upon receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory evidence, the Company, as promptly as practicable but no later than seven (7) days after receipt of the written notice, shall notify the Holder that the Holder may sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or Warrant Shares, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. If the Company determines that the evidence is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify the Holder promptly with details thereof after such determination has been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Warrant Shares may be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Rule 144 under the Act and in compliance with the applicable statutory resale restrictions imposed by state securities laws, provided that the Company shall have been furnished with such information as the Company may reasonably request to provide a reasonable assurance that the provisions of Rule 144 and the applicable resale restrictions imposed by state securities laws have been satisfied. Each certificate representing this Warrant or the Warrant Shares thus transferred shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such laws, unless pursuant to an opinion of counsel for the Holder, such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with such laws. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions.

(e) Removal of Restrictive Legends.

(f) Litigation. Except as described in the Company’s reports filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act (the “SEC Reports”), there is no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation before any court, governmental agency or body, or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company, or any of its Affiliates that would affect the execution by the Company or the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, and all other agreements entered into by the Company relating hereto. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, there is no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation before any court, governmental agency or body, or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company, or any of its Affiliates which litigation if adversely determined would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, each of the Company and its subsidiaries owns or has the valid right to use all Intellectual Property (as defined below) necessary for the conduct of the businesses of the Company and its subsidiaries in the manner described in the SEC Reports as now conducted or proposed to be conducted. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports: (i) to the knowledge of the Company, no third party has infringed, misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated in any material respect any Intellectual Property rights of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and no claims for any of the foregoing have been brought against any third party by the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (ii) the Intellectual Property owned by the Company or its subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of the Company, the Intellectual Property licensed to the Company or its subsidiaries have not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and there is no pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim challenging the validity, enforceability, scope, issuance/registration, use or ownership of any such Intellectual Property, and the Company is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim; (iii) there is no pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others that the Company or any of its subsidiaries infringes, misappropriates, dilutes or otherwise violates any Intellectual Property of others; and (iv) each of the Company and its

7

subsidiaries has taken commercially reasonable steps, consistent with industry standards, to maintain and protect all Intellectual Property that is material to the conduct of its business.

(h) Property. The Company does not own any real property. The Company and its subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all properties and assets described in the SEC Reports as owned by it, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except such as (i) are described in the SEC Reports; (ii) do not materially affect the value of such property and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and its subsidiaries; or (iii) are Permitted Liens.

The Company and its subsidiaries possess all licenses, certificates, clearances, authorizations or permits issued by the appropriate governmental or regulatory agencies or authorities (collectively, “Permits”) that are necessary to enable them to own, lease and operate their respective properties and to carry on their respective businesses as presently conducted, except where the failure to possess such licenses, certificates, authorization or permits would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has not received notice of any revocation or modification of any such Permits and has no reason to believe that any such license, certificate, permit or authorization will not be renewed in the ordinary course. The Company has not received any Form 483 notice of adverse finding from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), warning letter, untitled letter or other correspondence or notice from FDA or any other governmental or regulatory authority alleging or asserting noncompliance with any applicable laws or any Permits.

(j) Financial Statements. The financial statements of the Company, together with the related schedules and the notes thereto, included or incorporated by reference in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and Exchange Act as in effect at the time of filing.

EisnerAmper LLP, who has audited certain financial statements of the Company, are independent registered public accountants as required by the Securities Act and Exchange Act and have been appointed by the Company’s audit committee (if so empowered by the Board of Directors) comprised only of independent directors, or by the Board of Directors, as the case may be.

(k) Material Liabilities and Indebtedness.

8

ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (B) liabilities not required to be reflected in the Company’s financial statements pursuant to GAAP or required to be disclosed in filings made with the Commission, (iii) the Company has not altered its method of accounting or the identity of its auditors, and (iv) other than with respect to the Company’s outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company has not declared or made any dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its shareholders or purchased, redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or redeem any shares of its capital stock. Except for the issuance of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement or as set forth in the SEC Reports or Proxy Statement, no event, liability or development has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its subsidiaries or their respective business, properties, operations or financial condition, that would be required to be disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws at the time this representation is made or deemed made that has not been publicly disclosed at least one Trading Day prior to the date that this representation is made.

(l) Nature of Company’s Obligation. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Agreements, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Warrant Shares, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.

(m) No Defaults. Except as disclosed in the Company’s SEC Reports, the Company and its Subsidiaries are not, nor have they received notice that they would be with the passage of time, giving of notice, or both, in breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or in default under (a) their charters and bylaws, (b) any statute, rule, regulation or order of any governmental agency or body or any court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over them, or any of their material assets or properties, or (c) any material agreement or instrument to which they are a party or by which they are bound or to which any of their assets or properties are subject, except, in the case of clauses (b) and (c) only, for such conflicts, breaches or violations as have not and are not reasonably be expected to result in, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(n) Insurance. The Company, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, carries, or is covered by, insurance from insurers of recognized financial responsibility in such amounts and covering such risks as is customary for companies engaged in similar businesses in similar industries. All policies of insurance of the Company and its subsidiaries are in full force and effect; each of the Company and its subsidiaries is in compliance with the terms of such policies in all material respects; and none of the Company or its subsidiaries has received notice from any insurer or agent of such insurer that capital improvements or other expenditures are required or necessary to be made in order to continue such insurance; there are no claims by the Company or any of its subsidiaries under any such policy or instrument as to which any insurance company is denying liability or defending under a reservation of rights clause; and none of the Company or its subsidiaries has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(o) Taxes. The Company has filed all federal, state, local and foreign income and franchise tax returns required to be filed through the date hereof, subject to permitted extensions, and has paid all taxes due thereon, and no tax deficiency has been determined adversely to the Company, nor does the Company have any knowledge of any tax deficiencies that could, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no pending dispute with any taxing authority relating to the Company’s payment of taxes in any material amount except which the Company is contesting in good faith and the Company has no knowledge of any proposed liability for any tax to be imposed upon the properties or assets of the Company for which there is not an adequate reserve reflected in the Company’s financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the SEC Reports.

Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company has not, in the twelve (12) months preceding the date hereof, received notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Principal Market”) to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of the Principal Market. Except as described in the SEC Reports, the Company has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be in compliance or regain compliance in a timely manner, as the case may be, with all such listing and maintenance requirements. The issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder does not contravene, in a manner which is expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the rules and regulations of the Principal Market and no stockholder approval is required for the Company to fulfill its obligations under the Transaction Agreements, other than as described in this Agreement. The Common Stock has been registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and is currently listed on the Principal Market.

As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports filed for the two years preceding the date hereof have complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and none of such SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(r) Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance. The Company is in compliance in all material respects with all provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, applicable to it, and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by all government and regulatory authorities and agencies. The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and to maintain accountability for assets, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect thereto.

The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and the Company presented in its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012, the conclusions of the Company’s certifying officers about the effectiveness of such disclosure controls and procedures.

13

(j) Experience of Purchaser. There are risks associated with the purchase of and investment in the Notes, the Warrants, and shares of Common Stock of the Company, and the Purchaser, either alone or together with his, her or its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of entering into this Agreement and making his, her or its Purchase Price and the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Notes, the Warrants, and shares of Common Stock of the Company, and such Purchaser has so evaluated such merits and risks. Such Purchaser understands that he, she or it must bear the economic risk of an investment in the Notes, the Warrants, and shares of Common Stock of the Company, if any, indefinitely and is able to bear such risk and to afford a complete loss of such investment.

(k) Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that he, she or it has reviewed the SEC Reports and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as he, she or it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Notes and Warrants, (ii) access to information about the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable him, her or it to evaluate the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed decision. The Purchaser is not purchasing the Notes based on knowledge of material information concerning the Company that has not been generally disclosed. Such Purchaser and its advisors, if any, in acquiring the Securities, have relied solely on their independent investigation of the Company and have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Purchaser or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. Such Purchaser understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. Such Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.

(l) No Governmental Review. Each Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency, or any other government or governmental agency has reviewed or passed on or made, or will pass on or make, any recommendation or endorsement of the Notes, the Warrants, or shares of Common Stock of the Company or the fairness or suitability of the prospective investment in the Notes, the Warrants, or shares of Common Stock of the Company.

(m) Aggregate Investment. Each Purchaser understands that his, her or its subscription for the Securities forms part of a larger offering of Securities by the Company as described herein. Each Purchaser understands that there is no minimum aggregate subscription required to close the Offering.

(n) Securities and Other Transactions. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, the Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that the Purchaser first became aware of the proposed transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of the Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of the Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above

14

shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Units covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement and its Affiliates and their respective investment advisors, agents, counsel and other advisors, the Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Such Purchaser has no present intent to effect a “change of control” of the Company as such term is understood under the rules promulgated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

(o) No Legal, Tax or Investment Advice. Each Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Company to him, her or it in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein, including the prospective investment in the Notes, the Warrants, and shares of Common Stock, constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Each Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as he, she or it, in his, her or its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in the circumstances. The Purchaser is not relying on the Company or its counsel in this regard.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser does not make or has not made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in this Section 3.2.

ARTICLE IV

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

4.1 Piggyback Registration Rights. Each Purchaser and the Company agree that the Purchasers shall be entitled to the registration rights with respect to the Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1

(a) Definition of Registrable Securities. As used in this Section 4.1, the term “Registrable Security” means each of the shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants; provided, however, that with respect to any particular Registrable Security, such security shall cease to be a Registrable Security when, as of the date of determination; (A) it has been and remains effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of pursuant thereto; (B) in the opinion of counsel to the Company, registration under the Securities Act is no longer required for subsequent public distribution of such security without volume limitations pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, or otherwise; or (C) it has ceased to be outstanding. The term “Registrable Securities” means any and all of the securities falling within the foregoing definition of “Registrable Security.” In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization or other change in corporate structure affecting the Common Stock, such adjustment shall be made in the definition of “Registrable Security” as is appropriate to prevent any dilution or increase of the rights granted pursuant to this clause (a) as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(b) Piggyback Registration Rights. As used herein, a “Registration Statement” shall mean any registration statement filed by the Company with the Commission under the Securities Act at any time or from time to time while any Registrable Securities remain outstanding; provided, however, that a Registration Statement for the purposes hereof shall not include: (A) any registration statement (or amendment thereto) filed by the Company which has not been declared effective on or before the date hereof; (B) any registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form) filed by the Company for the purpose of effecting offers and sales of securities on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415(a)(ix) or (x) under the Securities Act; (C) a registration relating to employee benefit plans (whether effected on Form S-8 or its successor); or (D) a registration effected on Form S-4 (or its successor). If at any time or from time to time while any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, the Company shall determine to register or shall be required to register any of its Common Stock, whether or not for its own account, the Company shall:

(i) provide to each Purchaser written notice thereof at least seven days prior to the filing of the Registration Statement by the Company in connection with such registration;

15

(ii) include in such registration, and in any underwriting involved therein, all those Registrable Securities specified in a written request by each Purchaser received by the Company within five days after the Company mails the written notice referred to above. The Company may withdraw the registration at any time. If a registration covered by this Section 4.1 is an underwritten registration on behalf of the Company, and the underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company shall include in such registration: (1) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (2) second, the Registrable Securities and other securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the selling Purchasers and any other selling security holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such Purchaser and other selling security holders. The Purchasers’ right to have Registrable Securities included in the first registration statement filed by the Company may be deferred to the second registration statement filed by the Company, which deferral may be continued to the third or subsequent registration statement so long as the registration statements are pursuant to underwritten offerings and the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require exclusion of some or all of the Registrable Securities held by the Purchasers, but such deferral shall be only to the extent of such required exclusion as determined by the underwriter; and

(iii) if the registration is an underwritten registration, each Purchaser of Registrable Securities shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter and provide such information regarding Purchaser that the underwriter shall reasonably request in connection with the preparation of the prospectus describing such offering, including completion of FINRA Questionnaires.

(c) Covenants with Respect to Registration. In connection with the registration in which the Registrable Securities are included, the Company and Purchaser covenant and agree as follows:

(i) The foregoing registration rights shall be contingent on the Purchasers furnishing the Company with such appropriate information as the Company shall reasonably request, including (A) such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least seven days prior to the first anticipated filing date of any Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Purchaser of the information the Company requires from such Purchaser if such Purchaser elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. A Purchaser shall provide such information to the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement if it elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. Each Purchaser agrees to furnish to the Company a completed selling security holder questionnaire (a “Questionnaire”) in the form provided to it by the Company not less than two Business Days prior to the filing date of such Registration Statement. The Company shall not be required to include the Registrable Securities of a Purchaser in a Registration Statement and shall not be required to pay any damages to such Purchaser who fails to furnish to the Company a fully completed Questionnaire at least two Business Days prior to the filing date. The Company may require each selling Purchaser to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it and, if required by the Commission, the natural persons thereof that have voting and dispositive control over its shares of Common Stock.

16

(ii) Each Purchaser, by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Purchaser has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude all of its Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement. Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company that it must suspend sales of Common Stock pursuant to the Registration Statement, it will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities, until the Purchaser is advised by the Company that such dispositions may again be made.

(iii) Each Purchaser covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.

(iv) The Company shall indemnify each Purchaser of Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to the registration statement and each person, if any, who controls such Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including reasonable expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim) to which any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from such registration statement, except to the extent arising under paragraph (v) below.

(v) Each Purchaser owning Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to a registration statement, and their successors and assigns, shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its officers and directors and any underwriter, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against all loss, claim, damage or reasonable expense or liability (including expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising (A) from information furnished by or on behalf of such Purchaser, or their successors or assigns, for inclusion in such registration statement, or (B) as a result of use by the Purchaser of a registration statement that the Purchaser was advised to discontinue.

6.2 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall, by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fourth Trading Day immediately following the date hereof, file a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and including the form of this Agreement as an exhibit thereto.

18

Company, with respect to any press release of any of the Purchasers, or without the prior consent of the Purchasers holding a majority of the Notes, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication.

6.5 Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser covenants that neither it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to Section 6.2. Each Purchaser covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to Section 6.2, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that unless a Purchaser possesses material, non-public information with respect to the Company, has entered into a confidentiality agreement with the Company, or otherwise is restricted in its trading activities with respect to the Company’s Common Stock, (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced; (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced; and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality to the Company or its Subsidiaries relating to this Agreement after the initial disclosure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

19

be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if he or she were an original Purchaser hereunder), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

GENERAL

8.1 Termination. Solely in the event that the Closing has not been consummated on or before September 28, 2012, this Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties; provided, however, that (a) any Purchaser may elect to extend the foregoing date solely with respect to its purchase of the Securities hereunder and (b) any such termination will not affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by the other party (or parties).

8.2 Confidentiality. The Purchasers acknowledge that due to certain of the covenants contained herein or in the other Transaction Agreements, from time to time the Purchasers may come into possession of confidential information of the Company, including material, non-public information relating to the Company. The Purchasers hereby agree that (i) they shall keep all such information strictly confidential, applying, at a minimum, the same degree of care as it does to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature; (ii) shall only use such information in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (iii) shall not disclose any of such information other than: (a) to the Purchaser’s employees, representatives, directors, attorneys, auditors, or Affiliates who are advised of the confidential nature of such information (so long as any of the foregoing persons agree to be bound by the

20

provisions of this Section), (b) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes available on a non-confidential basis from any source of such information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure, (c) to the extent disclosure is required by law (including applicable securities law), regulation, subpoena or judicial order or any administrative body or commission to whose jurisdiction the Purchasers are subject (provided that notice of such requirement or order shall be promptly furnished to the Company in advance of such disclosure), (d) to assignees or participants or prospective assignees or participants who agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section, or (e) with the Company’s prior written consent. The Purchasers agree to be responsible for any breach of this agreement by any of the persons identified in Section 8.2(iii). The Purchasers are aware that, under certain circumstances, the United States securities laws may prohibit a Person who has received material, non-public information from an issuer from purchasing or selling securities of such issuer or from communicating such information to any other Person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such other Person is likely to purchase or sell such securities.

8.3 Fees and Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, at the Closing, the Company has agreed to pay to Berenbaum Weinshienk, PC, counsel to the lead investor, the sum of $7,000, in payment for legal fees incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

8.4 Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived except in a written instrument signed, (i) in the case of an amendment, by the Company and Purchasers representing a Majority in Interest, or (ii) in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought; provided that, in the case of waiver by or on behalf of all of the Purchasers, such written instrument shall be signed by Purchasers representing a Majority in Interest; and provided, further that any amendment that would (a) reduce the principal amount of any Note, (b) reduce the percentage in aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding necessary to modify or amend the Notes; or (c) modify this Section 8.4 shall, in each case, require the approval of each Purchaser to which such amendment shall apply. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

8.5 Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or e-mail at the facsimile number or e-mail address referred to in this Section 8.5 prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on a Business Day, (b) the next Business Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or e-mail at the facsimile number or e-mail address referred to in this Section 8.5 on a day that is not a Business Day or later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on any Business Day, (c) the Business Day following the date of deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier service or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The addresses, facsimile numbers and e-mail addresses for such notices and communications are those set forth on the signature pages hereof, or such other address, facsimile number or e-mail address as may be designated in writing hereafter, in the same manner, by the relevant party hereto.

8.6 Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

21

8.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Notes and Warrants contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such agreements and exhibits. At or after the Closing, and without further consideration, the parties hereto will make, do and execute and deliver, or cause to be made, done and executed and delivered, such further acts, deeds, assurances, documents and things as may be reasonably requested by any of the other parties hereto in order to give practical effect to the intention of the parties hereunder.

8.8 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Purchasers representing a Majority in Interest (other than by merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets). A Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom the Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions of this Agreement that apply to the “Purchasers.”

8.9 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person or entity.

8.10 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

8.11 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under this Agreement. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in this Agreement and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

22

8.12 Execution. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or e-mail transmission), all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or e-mail attachment, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or e-mail-attached signature page were an original thereof.

8.13 Survival; Severability. All covenants and other agreements set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for the respective periods set forth therein and if no such period is specified until the maturity date of the Notes. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

8.14 Interpretation. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise this Agreement and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments hereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of capital stock in this Agreement shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement. The word “including”, whenever used in this Agreement, shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”.

8.15 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Agreement. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Agreement, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Agreements, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been advised to retain its own representation, including its own separate legal counsel, in their review and negotiation of the Transaction Agreements.

11

Creditors; (B) prior to enforcing any right to foreclose or otherwise realize on the Collateral after acceleration or demand for payment of the Obligations, or any of them, a Creditor shall give at least 10 days’ prior written notice to the other Creditors of its intention to enforce such right; and (C) prior to enforcing any other right or remedy available to it against the Company or the Collateral, a Creditor shall give at least three business days’ prior written notice to the other Creditors of its intention to enforce such right or remedy. With the agreement of the other Creditors, such 10-day and three-day notice requirements may be waived or reduced at any time.

(iii) Subject to the security interests of the holders of the Senior Permitted Liens, it is the intention of the Secured Parties that whenever practicable, any foreclosure or other realization on the Collateral after acceleration or demand for payment of the Obligations, or any of them, shall be coordinated among the Creditors and constitute a common foreclosure or realization on behalf of the Creditors. Each Secured Party agrees to endeavor in good faith to consult with the other Creditors prior to any foreclosure or other realization on the Collateral after acceleration or demand for payment of the Obligations, or any of them, in order to agree on a common course of action. Subject to the foregoing, if any Creditor shall have notified the other Creditors pursuant to Section 7(d)(ii), above, of its intention to enforce any right to foreclose or otherwise realize on the Collateral after acceleration or demand for payment of the Obligations, or any of them, and if such Creditor shall have thereafter determined within the 10-day period referred to in Section 7(d)(ii) above, to enforce such right, then such Creditor (a “Foreclosing Creditor”) may proceed to foreclose and realize on the Collateral on its own behalf and as agent on behalf of the other Creditors (the “Non-Foreclosing Creditors”). The method of foreclosure or other realization on the Collateral (including, without limitation, the acceptability of any bid at any foreclosure sale or transfer in lieu of foreclosure and the method of collection of accounts receivable or other rights to payment) shall be determined by the Foreclosing Creditor after consultation with the Non-Foreclosing Creditors, as the case may be, provided that any such foreclosure or realization shall be conducted by the Foreclosing Creditor in good faith and in a commercially reasonable and expeditious manner, and further provided that the Foreclosing Creditor shall have no right to bid in any Obligations payable to the Non-Foreclosing Creditors without the express written consent of the Non-Foreclosing Creditors. Except as otherwise provided above, and subject to the requirements of Section 7(d)(ii) above, each Creditor shall have the authority to and may proceed at any time to foreclose and realize on the Collateral to the extent otherwise permitted under the Prior Notes or Notes and Security Agreement to which it is a party.

(iv) In the event of receipt of any payments from the Company by a Creditor on account of the Obligations payable to such Creditor after acceleration or demand for payment of the Obligations of any of them, such payments shall be held in trust by such Creditor, and shall be promptly applied to the payment of the Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 7(d)(v) below.

(v) In the event of the acceleration or demand for payment of the Obligations, or any of them, or of any foreclosure, sale or other disposition in liquidation of the Collateral, all moneys collected or received by the Creditors on account of the Obligations or in respect of the Collateral in excess of the amounts paid to discharge prior liens upon the Collateral shall be applied to the payment of all proper costs and expenses, if any, incurred in the collection thereof or for the protection of the Collateral pro rata in accordance with the amount of such costs and expenses, and the balance of such moneys shall be applied pro rata to the payment of the Prior Notes and Notes in that proportion which the amount of such Obligations payable to each Creditor bears to the aggregate amount of such Obligations taken as a whole.

SECTION VIII

SECURITY AGENT

Section 8.1 Appointment. The Secured Parties, by their acceptance of the benefits of the Agreement, hereby agree that prior to declaring an Event of Default or exercising any of their rights hereunder in connection with any Event of Default, to designate in writing a Person to act as their representative to act as the security agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the “Security Agent”). The Secured Parties agree that the act of the Majority in Interest in appointing the Security Agent shall be sufficient in all respects to rightfully appoint the Security Agent hereunder. Each Secured Party (whether or not a signatory hereto) shall be deemed irrevocably (a) to consent to the appointment of Security Agent as its agent hereunder, (b) to confirm that the Security Agent shall have the authority to act as the exclusive agent of such Person for the enforcement of any provisions of this Agreement against the Company, the exercise of remedies hereunder and the giving or withholding of any consent or approval hereunder relating to any Collateral or the Company’s obligations with respect thereto, (c) to agree that it shall not take any action to enforce any provisions of this Agreement against the Company, to exercise any remedy hereunder or to give any consents or approvals hereunder except as expressly provided in this Agreement or in the Notes and (d) to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. The appointment of the Security Agent shall continue until revoked in writing by a Majority in Interest, at which time a Majority in Interest shall appoint a new Security Agent. The Security Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees.

Section 8.2 Nature of Duties. The Security Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement. Neither the Security Agent nor any of its partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it as such under the Agreement or in connection herewith, be responsible for the consequence of any oversight or error of judgment or answerable for any loss, unless caused solely by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction. The duties of the Security Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Security Agent shall not have by reason of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Company or any Secured Party; and nothing in the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document except as expressly set forth herein and therein.

Section 8.3 Lack of Reliance on the Security Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Security Agent, each Secured Party, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries in connection with such Secured Party’s investment in the Company, the creation and continuance of the Obligations, the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and the taking or not taking of any action in connection therewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Company and its subsidiaries, and of the value of the Collateral from time to time, and the Security Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Secured Party with any credit, market or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before any Obligations are incurred or at any time or times thereafter. The Security Agent shall not be responsible to the Company or any Secured Party for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith, or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or for the financial condition of the Company or the value of any of the Collateral, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or the financial condition of the Company, or the value of any of the Collateral, or the existence or possible existence of any default or Event of Default under the Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Transaction Documents.

13

Section 8.4 Certain Rights of the Security Agent. The Security Agent shall have the right to take any action with respect to the Collateral permitted by this Agreement, on behalf of all of the Secured Parties. To the extent practical, the Security Agent shall request instructions from the Secured Parties with respect to any material act or action (including failure to act) in connection with the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and shall be entitled to act or refrain from acting in accordance with the instructions of a Majority in Interest; if such instructions are not provided despite the Security Agent’s request therefor, the Security Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action, and if such action is taken, shall be entitled to appropriate indemnification from the Secured Parties in respect of actions to be taken by the Security Agent; and the Security Agent shall not incur liability to any person or entity by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Security Agent as a result of the Security Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the terms of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and the Company shall have no right to question or challenge the authority of, or the instructions given to, the Security Agent pursuant to the foregoing and (b) the Security Agent shall not be required to take any action which the Security Agent believes (i) could reasonably be expected to expose it to personal liability or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or applicable law.

Section 8.5 Reliance. The Security Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and its duties thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it and upon all other matters pertaining to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and its duties thereunder, upon advice of other experts selected by it. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Security Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Secured Party to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Company or is cared for, protected or insured or that the liens granted pursuant to the Agreement have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority.

Section 8.6 Indemnification. To the extent that the Security Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Company, the Secured Parties will jointly and severally reimburse and indemnify the Security Agent, in proportion to their initially purchased respective principal amounts of Notes, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Security Agent in performing its duties hereunder or under the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or in any way relating to or arising out of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document except for those determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the Security Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Prior to taking any action hereunder as Security Agent, the Security Agent may require each Secured Party to deposit with it sufficient sums as it determines in good faith is necessary to protect the Security Agent for costs and expenses associated with taking such action.

Section 8.7 Resignation by the Security Agent.

(a) The Security Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties under the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice (as provided in the Agreement) to the Company and the Secured Parties. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Security Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below.

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation, the Secured Parties, acting by a Majority in Interest, shall appoint a successor Security Agent hereunder.

14

(c) If a successor Security Agent shall not have been so appointed within said 30-day period, the Security Agent shall then appoint a successor Security Agent who shall serve as Security Agent until such time, if any, as the Secured Parties appoint a successor Security Agent as provided above. If a successor Security Agent has not been appointed within such 30-day period, the Security Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction or may interplead the Company and the Secured Parties in a proceeding for the appointment of a successor Security Agent, and all fees, including, but not limited to, extraordinary fees associated with the filing of interpleader and expenses associated therewith, shall be payable by the Company on demand.

Section 8.8 Rights with respect to Collateral. Each Secured Party agrees with all other Secured Parties and the Security Agent (i) that it shall not, and shall not attempt to, independently exercise any rights with respect to its security interest in the Collateral, whether pursuant to any other agreement or otherwise (other than pursuant to this Agreement), or take or institute any action against the Security Agent or any of the other Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral or its rights hereunder (other than any such action arising from the breach of this Agreement) and (ii) that such Secured Party has no other rights with respect to the Collateral other than as set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Security Agent hereunder by a successor Security Agent, such successor Security Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Security Agent and the retiring Security Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Agreement. After any retiring Security Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Security Agent, the provisions of the Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Security Agent.

A waiver by a Secured Party of any right or remedy under this Agreement on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion.

At such time the Obligations have been satisfied in full, the Majority in Interests or Security Agent (if one had been appointed) shall execute and deliver to the Company all assignments and other instruments as may be reasonably necessary or proper to terminate the Secured Parties’ security interest in the Collateral, subject to any disposition of the Collateral that may have been made by or on behalf of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement. For the purpose of this Agreement, the Obligations shall be deemed to continue if the Company enters into any bankruptcy or similar proceeding at a time when any amount paid to the Secured Parties could be ordered to be repaid as a preference or pursuant to a similar theory, and shall continue until it is finally determined that no such repayment can be ordered.

WHEREAS, the Company has issued $4,050,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes due January 2013 (the “Prior Notes”), pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 9, 2012, among the Company and the initial holders of such Prior Notes (the “Purchase Agreement”). The terms of such Prior Notes are set forth in the form of Senior Secured Note attached to the Purchase Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Company’s obligations under the Prior Notes are secured by liens on substantially all of its assets pursuant to that certain Security Agreement, dated as of March 9, 2012, between the Company and the holders of the Prior Notes, and as subsequently amended on March 28, 2012 (the “Security Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Company now wishes to issue up to $3,500,000 (the “New Financing”) in new secured notes due October 31, 2013 (the “New Notes”) to purchasers, which may include holders of the Prior Notes (such purchasers of the New Notes may be referred to herein as the “Purchasers”), and the Purchasers have agreed to provide the New Financing;

WHEREAS, it is a condition of the New Financing that the Company enter into a security agreement with the Purchasers of the New Notes on terms and conditions substantially similar in all material respects with the Security Agreement (the “New Security Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend and modify the terms of the Prior Notes and the Security Agreement to permit the New Financing, and the undersigned holders of the Prior Notes (the “Holders”) consisting, collectively, of at least a Majority in Interest (as defined in the Prior Notes) have agreed to such amendments, modifications and intercreditor provisions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 2. Amendments to the Prior Notes. Each of the Prior Notes shall be amended as follows:

(A) Section 2(a) of each of the Prior Notes is hereby amended to modify the definition of the term “Maturity Date” such that from and after the Effective Date, the term “Maturity Date” shall mean October 31, 2013.

(a) Seniority of Note. This Note shall rank (i) on parity with the New Notes with respect to the right of repayment and claim under the security interest in and to any or all of the Collateral and (ii) senior to any and all other Indebtedness, as defined below, of the Company, unless the Company receives the prior written consent of the Holders of a

1

Majority in Interest, to otherwise incur Indebtedness senior to or on parity with this Note. This Note is issued subject to the provisions of this Section 3 and each person taking or holding this Note, accepts and agrees to be bound by these provisions.

(b) New Notes. The Holder hereby confirms that regardless of the relative times of attachment or perfection thereof, and regardless of anything in any Transaction Agreements to the contrary, any security interests or liens granted from time to time to the New Notes in all or any part of the Collateral as security for the New Notes, shall in all respects be pari passu security interests and liens, on parity with any security interests or liens at any time granted to the Holders of the Notes in such Collateral as security for the obligations evidenced by the Notes. The priorities specified herein are applicable irrespective of the time, order or method of attachment or perfection of security interests or the time or order of filing of financing statements. Each Holder agrees not to seek to challenge, to avoid, to subordinate or to contest or directly or indirectly to support any other Person in challenging, avoiding, subordinating or contesting in any judicial or other proceeding, including, without limitation, any proceeding involving the Company, the priority, validity, extent, perfection or enforceability of any lien held by the holders of the New Notes in all or any part of the Collateral.

(C) The first paragraph of Section 6(b) of each of the Prior Notes is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(d) Right to Receive Payment Upon Default. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Note, the Holder of this Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal in respect of the Notes held by the Holder, on or after the final Maturity Date, or in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Security Agreement, to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such date, and such rights shall not be impaired or affected adversely without the consent of the Holder.

The Secured Parties and Representative hereby confirm that regardless of the relative times of attachment or perfection thereof, and regardless of anything in any Transaction Document to the contrary, (A) any Senior Permitted Liens granted by the Company in all or any part of the Collateral shall in all respects be first and senior security interests and Liens, superior to any security interests or Liens at any time granted to the Secured Parties in such Collateral; (B) the Liens granted to the holders of the New Notes in the Collateral shall in all respects be pari passu security interests and Liens in the Collateral with the Notes; and (C) as between all Secured Parties, the security interests granted to the Secured Parties hereunder are in all respects pari passu security interests and Liens in the Collateral. The priorities specified herein are applicable irrespective of the time, order or method of attachment or perfection of security interests or the time or order of filing of financing statements. The Secured Parties agree not to seek to challenge, to avoid, to subordinate or to contest or directly or indirectly to support any other Person in challenging, avoiding, subordinating or contesting in any judicial or other proceeding, including, without limitation, any proceeding involving the Company, the priority, validity, extent, perfection or enforceability of any Senior Permitted Liens or the Liens granted to the holders of the New Notes in all or any part of the Collateral. The Secured Parties further covenant and agree that they shall not, and they shall not instruct, authorize or otherwise permit or consent to allowing the Security Agent to, take any action that is in violation of, or inconsistent with, the provisions of Section 7.

(c) Release of Collateral. If, in connection with the exercise by any of the holders of Senior Permitted Liens of their rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral, such holders release any of its or their Senior Permitted Liens on any part of the Collateral, then the Liens, if any, of the Secured Parties, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released on a parity basis with the holders of the New Notes; provided, that after the Senior Permitted Liens have been satisfied, the balance, if any, of the proceeds of such Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations for the benefit of the Secured Parties and the holders of the New Notes on a pari passu basis. The Secured Parties shall, or shall cause a duly appointed Security Agent to, promptly execute and deliver to the Company such termination statements, releases and other documents as it may reasonably require to effectively confirm such release.

SECTION 5. Intercreditor Provisions.

(a) Subject to the security interests of the holders of the Senior Permitted Liens, notwithstanding the date, manner and order of perfection of the security interests in and liens on the Collateral (as such term is defined in the Security Agreement and the New Security Agreement) and

4

notwithstanding any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code, as in effect in any state of appropriate jurisdiction, or any other applicable law or decision, as among the holders of Prior Notes and the purchasers of New Notes (each, a “Creditor”), the holders of the Prior Notes agree that (i) each Creditor (including the purchasers of the New Notes) shall rank pari passu with respect to their respective security interests in the Collateral and (ii) upon any foreclosure, sale or other disposition in liquidation of all or any part of the Collateral, each Creditor shall share in the resulting income pertaining to and the proceeds of such foreclosure, sale or other disposition in liquidation of the Collateral pro rata in the manner set forth in Section 5(e) below, regardless of the time at which such Creditor acquired rights in or to any of the Collateral.

(b) Subject to the security interests of the holders of the Senior Permitted Liens, and except as expressly provided herein, this Amendment shall not limit or impair the right of a Creditor to take any action permitted under their respective Prior Notes or Security Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. Subject to the security interests of the holders of the Senior Permitted Liens, to the extent otherwise permitted under the Prior Notes that a Creditor holds, each holder of the Prior Notes agrees that a Creditor may proceed to accelerate or demand payment of the Obligations (as such term is defined in the Security Agreement and the New Security Agreement) payable to it, and enforce any other right or remedy available to it against the Company in accordance with the terms of the Prior Notes and Security Agreement; provided, however, (i) if a Creditor accelerates or demands payment of any Obligations payable to it, or if there is an automatic acceleration or demand for payment of any Obligations payable to such Creditor under the terms of their respective Prior Notes or New Notes as the result of the filing of a petition in bankruptcy or similar event, such Creditor shall on the date of such acceleration or demand for payment (or promptly following an automatic acceleration or demand) give written notice of acceleration or demand to the other Creditors; (ii) prior to enforcing any right to foreclose or otherwise realize on the Collateral after acceleration or demand for payment of the Obligations, or any of them, a Creditor shall give at least 10 days’ prior written notice to the other Creditors of its intention to enforce such right; and (iii) prior to enforcing any other right or remedy available to it against the Company or the Collateral, a Creditor shall give at least three business days’ prior written notice to the other Creditors of its intention to enforce such right or remedy. With the agreement of the other Creditors, such 10-day and three-day notice requirements may be waived or reduced at any time.

(c) Subject to the security interests of the holders of the Senior Permitted Liens, it is the intention of the holders of the Prior Notes that whenever practicable, any foreclosure or other realization on the Collateral after acceleration or demand for payment of the Obligations, or any of them, shall be coordinated among the Creditors and constitute a common foreclosure or realization on behalf of the Creditors. Each holder of a Prior Note agrees to endeavor in good faith to consult with the other Creditors prior to any foreclosure or other realization on the Collateral after acceleration or demand for payment of the Obligations, or any of them, in order to agree on a common course of action. Subject to the foregoing, if any Creditor shall have notified the other Creditors pursuant to Section 5(b), above, of its intention to enforce any right to foreclose or otherwise realize on the Collateral after acceleration or demand for payment of the Obligations, or any of them, and if such Creditor shall have thereafter determined within the 10-day period referred to in Section 5(b) above, to enforce such right, then such Creditor (a “Foreclosing Creditor”) may proceed to foreclose and realize on the Collateral on its own behalf and as agent on behalf of the other Creditors (the “Non-Foreclosing Creditors”). The method of foreclosure or other realization on the Collateral (including, without limitation, the acceptability of any bid at any foreclosure sale or transfer in lieu of foreclosure and the method of collection of accounts receivable or other rights to payment) shall be determined by the Foreclosing Creditor after consultation with the Non-Foreclosing Creditors, as the case may be, provided that any such foreclosure or realization shall be conducted by the Foreclosing Creditor in good faith and in a commercially reasonable and expeditious manner, and further provided that the Foreclosing Creditor shall have no right to bid in any Obligations payable to the Non-Foreclosing Creditors without the express written consent of the Non-Foreclosing Creditors. Except as otherwise provided above, and subject to the requirements of Section 5(b) above, each Creditor shall have the authority to and may proceed at any time to foreclose and realize on the Collateral to the extent otherwise permitted under the Prior Notes or New Notes and Security Agreement to which it is a party.

5

(d) In the event of receipt of any payments from the Company by a Creditor on account of the Obligations payable to such Creditor after acceleration or demand for payment of the Obligations of any of them, such payments shall be held in trust by such Creditor, and shall be promptly applied to the payment of the Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 5(e) below.

(e) In the event of the acceleration or demand for payment of the Obligations, or any of them, or of any foreclosure, sale or other disposition in liquidation of the Collateral, all moneys collected or received by the Creditors on account of the Obligations or in respect of the Collateral in excess of the amounts paid to discharge prior liens upon the Collateral shall be applied to the payment of all proper costs and expenses, if any, incurred in the collection thereof or for the protection of the Collateral pro rata in accordance with the amount of such costs and expenses, and the balance of such moneys shall be applied pro rata to the payment of the Prior Notes and New Notes in that proportion which the amount of such Obligations payable to each Creditor bears to the aggregate amount of such Obligations taken as a whole.

SECTION 6. Extension Warrants. In consideration of the amendments to the Prior Notes and Security Agreement and the other agreements set forth herein, the Company agrees to issue to the Holders, on the Effective Date, warrants to purchase such number of shares of common stock of the Company (in the aggregate) as is equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) 0.70 by (b) the quotient derived by dividing (x) the total principal amount of the outstanding Prior Notes by (y) 101% of the most recent Closing Bid Price of the Company’s Common Stock as published by the Nasdaq Stock Market prior to the execution of this Amendment (the “Extension Warrants”). As used herein, “Closing Bid Price” shall mean the most recently reported closing consolidated bid price of the Company’s Common Stock published by the Nasdaq Stock Market prior to the execution of this Agreement. The number of Extension Warrants to be issued to each Holder shall be determined pro rata, based on the principal amount of Prior Notes held by each Holder as of the date of issuance of the Extension Warrants. The Extension Warrants shall be exercisable for a period of 54 months commencing six months following the date of issuance, at an exercise price equal to the greater of (i) 101% of the Closing Bid Price of the Company’s Common Stock or (ii) $1.34, and otherwise shall be in the form attached as Annex A to this Amendment.

SECTION 7. Effect of Amendment. This Amendment shall become effective on the date on which (the “Effective Date”) the following conditions have occurred: the Company and the Holders of at least a Majority in Interest of the Prior Notes have executed and delivered counterparts of this Amendment and the Company shall have obtained all consents or waivers necessary to consummate the New Financing. Upon the Effective Date, (i) the applicable portions of this Amendment shall be a part of each Prior Note and the Security Agreement, as the case may be, each as amended hereby, and (ii) each reference in any such document to “this Note”, “this Agreement”, “hereof”, “hereunder”, or words of like import, and each reference in any other document or agreement to any of the Prior Notes or the Security Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Prior Notes or the Security Agreement, as the case may be, as amended hereby. Except as expressly amended hereby, each of the Prior Notes and the Security Agreements amended herein shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed by the parties hereto.

SECTION 8. Consent. Each of the Holders executing this Amendment hereby consents to the terms of the amendments to the Prior Notes and Security Agreement contained in this Amendment. This Amendment is not intended to serve as, and shall not be construed by operation of law or otherwise, as a novation of the Prior Notes.

6

SECTION 9. Representations and Warranties. Each of the parties hereto represents and warrants that it is duly incorporated or otherwise organized, validly existing and (to the extent applicable) in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, that it has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Amendment and that this Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation.

This Amendment shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Exhibit 10.4

BOARD NOMINATION AND OBSERVER AGREEMENT

This Board Nomination and Observer Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of September 25, 2012, among Authentidate Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Lazarus Investment Partners, LLLP, a limited liability partnership (the “Stockholder”). Unless otherwise specified herein, all of the capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 5 hereof.

WHEREAS, the Company has entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 24, 2012 (the “Purchase Agreement”), with the Stockholder and the other parties identified on Schedule I thereto whereby the Stockholder has agreed to participate in transaction described therein; and

WHEREAS, the Company has agreed to grant the Stockholder, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, to observation and nomination rights as set forth herein on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Board Observer Rights.

(a) At any time prior to the Expiration Time, provided that the Stockholder has not exercised its rights under Section 2 of this Agreement and such Stockholder together with its Affiliates Beneficially Own 5.0% or greater of the Outstanding Equity, the Stockholder may designate a Board observer reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Board Observer”) to attend all meetings of the Board, in a non-voting capacity, by the giving of written notice to the Company’s Chairman or Chief Executive Officer of such designation (“Observation Election”) prior to the Expiration Time. In connection therewith and during the time period set forth in Section 1(b), the Company shall simultaneously give the Board Observer copies of all notices, consents, minutes and other materials, financial or otherwise, which the Company provides to the Board in connection with meetings of the Board to be held during such time frame, provided that (i) if the Board Observer does not, upon the request of the Company, before attending any meetings of the Board, execute and deliver to the Company a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company, the Board Observer may be excluded from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof if the Board determines in good faith that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to protect confidential proprietary information of the Company or confidential proprietary information of third parties that the Company is required to hold in confidence, or for other similar reasons; (ii) such representative may be excluded from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof if the Board determines in good faith that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege; (iii) any committee of the Board may exclude the Observer from attending any meeting of such committee in its discretion; and (iv) nothing herein shall prohibit the Board or any committee of the Board from taking any action proposed to be taken at any meeting of the Board or committee or by written consent.

(b) In the event the Stockholder makes an Observation Election, the Stockholder shall have the observation rights set forth herein for a period of time expiring on the earlier of (i) the second anniversary date of the Effective Date, (ii) the date on which the Stockholder makes an election to appoint a Nominee in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement, or (iii) the occurrence of a General Termination Event. All obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 1 shall terminate upon the Stockholder ceasing to have the right to designate a Board Observer pursuant to this Section 1.

- 1 -

(c) Stockholder agrees, and Stockholder will cause any Board Observer to agree, to hold in confidence with respect to all information so provided and not use or disclose any confidential information provided to or learned by it in connection with its rights under this Agreement other than for purposes reasonably related to its interest as a shareholder of the Company, and not to the detriment of, the Company. The confidentiality provisions hereof will survive any termination of this Agreement. The Stockholder shall cause the Board Observer to agree to, and shall be responsible for the Board Observer’s failure to, hold in confidence and trust and to act in a fiduciary manner with respect to all information provided to such Board Observer pursuant hereto.

Section 2. Board Nomination Rights.

(a) At any time prior to the Expiration Time, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and provided that the Stockholder together with its Affiliates Beneficially Own 10.0% or greater of the Outstanding Equity, the Stockholder shall have the right (but not the obligation) to designate one person to be nominated for election to the Board (a “Nominee”) by giving written notice to the Chairman of the Board or the Secretary of the Company prior to the Expiration Time. As a condition of exercising its right under Section 2 of this Agreement, the Stockholder hereby agrees that effective upon the election of such Nominee to the Board, the Stockholder’s rights under Section 1 of this Agreement shall automatically expire and no person may continue to act in the capacity as Board Observer. The Nominee shall be selected by the Stockholder in reasonable consultation with (but without the need for the approval of) the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of its Board of Directors (the “Nominating Committee”).

(b) Provided the Stockholder exercises its right under Section 2(a) prior to the Expiration Time, the Company shall subject to its rights under Section 3: (i) promptly increase the size of the Board from five (5) to six (6) members; (ii) appoint such Nominee as a member of the Board; and (iii) at all times during the Designation Period, include, and shall use its best efforts to cause the Board, whether acting through the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board or otherwise, to include the Nominee in the slate of nominees recommended to the Stockholders for election as a director at any annual or special meeting of the Stockholders held during the Designation Period (or, if permitted, by any action by written consent of the Stockholders taken during the Designation Period) at or by which directors of the Company are to be elected.

(c) If a Board vacancy occurs during the Designation Period solely because of the death, disability, disqualification, resignation or removal of the Nominee, the Stockholder shall be entitled to designate such person’s successor in accordance with Section 3(b).

(d) If during the Designation Period the Nominee is not nominated or elected to the Board because of such Nominee’s death, disability, disqualification, withdrawal as a nominee or such Nominee is for any other reason unavailable or unable to serve on the Board, the Stockholder shall be entitled to promptly designate another Nominee in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2 and the director position for which such Nominee was nominated shall not be filled pending such designation.

(e) A Nominee shall be entitled to the same compensation paid and expense reimbursement payable to other non-employee Directors.

(f) If in the reasonable judgment of the Company, the election or appointment of the Nominee would cause the Company to not comply with the relevant listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Listing Rules”), including the requirement that the Company’s Board be comprised of a majority of Independent Directors, then the Company may defer the appointment and/or election of such

- 2 -

Nominee until it is able to take commercially reasonable measures to ensure that such appointment or election would not cause the Company to violate the Listing Rules. For the purpose of clarity, it is agreed that such measures may include a further increase in the size of the Board and the appointment and/or election of an additional individual to serve as an Independent Director, which individual shall be selected in the sole discretion of the Company.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Agreement shall not limit any rights the Stockholder may have as a stockholder of the Company pursuant to Delaware law, the Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws.

Section 3. Company Obligations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to appoint any Nominee to serve on the Board or cause to be nominated for election to the Board or recommend to the stockholders the election of any Nominee: (i) who fails to submit to the Company on a timely basis such questionnaires as the Company may reasonably require of its directors generally and such other information as the Company may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of its filings under the Securities Laws; or (ii) if the Board or the Nominating Committee (if any) determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that (A) such action would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties or applicable law or violate the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws; or (B) such Nominee would not be qualified under any applicable law, rule or regulation to serve as a Director of the Company; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of either (i) or (ii) above, the Company shall promptly notify the Stockholder of the occurrence of such event and permit the Stockholder to provide an alternate Nominee sufficiently in advance of any Board action, the meetings of the stockholders called or written action of stockholders with respect to such election of nominees and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations under Section 2 with respect to such alternate Nominee (provided that if the Company provides at least 45 days advance notice of the occurrence of any such event such alternative nominee must be designated by the Stockholder not less than 30 days in advance of any Board action, notice of meeting of the stockholders or written action of stockholders with respect to such election of nominees), and in no event shall the Company be obligated to postpone, reschedule or delay any scheduled meeting of the stockholders with respect to such election of Nominees.

(b) If at any time during Designation Period a Board vacancy occurs solely because of the death, disability, disqualification, resignation or removal of the Nominee, then the Board, or any committee thereof, shall not fill such vacancy until the earliest to occur of: (i) the Stockholder’s designation of a successor Nominee (which successor Nominee shall be designated in accordance with Section 2(a) and subject to the terms of Section 3(a)) and the Board’s appointment of such successor Nominee to fill the vacancy; (ii) the Stockholder’s failure to designate a successor Nominee within 20 Business Days after receiving notification of the vacancy from the Company; or (iii) the Stockholder’s specifically waiving in writing its rights under this Section 3(b). For the purposes of clarity, the Company shall have the right to fill any Board vacancy which may occur due to any reason other than the death, disability, disqualification, resignation or removal of the Nominee in accordance with the terms of the Company’s By-Laws and Certification of Incorporation.

Section 4. Term and Termination.

(a) This Agreement shall become effective upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Effective Date”).

- 3 -

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Stockholder together with its Affiliates cease to Beneficially Own at least 10.0% of the Outstanding Equity, whether as a result of dilution, Transfer or otherwise, then the rights of the Stockholder under Section 2 of this Agreement shall terminate automatically (the “Nominee Termination Event”). Within three Business Days after the occurrence of the Nominee Termination Event (i) that results from a Transfer of Common Stock by the Stockholder, the Stockholder shall notify the Company of such event and (ii) that results from any other event or occurrence, the Company shall notify the Stockholder of such event (in each case, a “Nominee Termination Notice”).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the occurrence of a General Termination Event, this Agreement shall be automatically terminated and of no further force and effect, and no party hereto shall have any surviving obligations, rights, or duties hereunder after such termination. Within three Business Days after the occurrence of a General Termination Event (i) that results from a Transfer of Common Stock by the Stockholder, the Stockholder shall notify the Company of such event and (ii) that results from any other event or occurrence, the Company shall notify the Stockholder of such event (in each case, a “General Termination Notice”).

AUTHENTIDATE HOLDING CORP. ANNOUNCES NEW

LOAN FINANCING OF $3.3 MILLION

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, NJ – September 28, 2012 — Authentidate Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: ADAT), a provider of secure web-based software applications and telehealth products and services for healthcare organizations, announced that it has completed a $3.3 million secured loan financing with certain accredited investors. In connection with the financing the company sold approximately $3.3 million of senior secured promissory notes and 2,558,139 warrants to the investors. The notes are not convertible into equity securities and no interest is due on the notes. The notes are due and payable on the earlier of October 31, 2013 or the completion of a subsequent financing as defined in the investor agreements. The warrants are exercisable for 54 months commencing six months from the issue date at an exercise price of $1.34 per share.

In connection with the financing, Authentidate entered into an agreement with the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the senior secured promissory notes issued in March 2012 (the “Prior Notes”), to extend the maturity date of such notes to October 31, 2013 and grant pari passu rights to the notes issued in the new financing. In consideration of this extension, we agreed to issue the holders of the Prior Notes warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,197,674 shares of common stock with the same terms as the warrants issued in the new financing.

Ben Benjamin, Chief Executive Officer of Authentidate, stated “We are pleased to have raised these additional funds which will be used primarily for general business and working capital purposes as well as to support the growth of our telehealth solution for remote patient monitoring. We are optimistic about the opportunity we have to increase our revenues in the coming quarters and these additional funds will assist us in growing sales and responding efficiently to new product orders. We believe that the participation of one of the company’s board members in addition to our largest stockholder in this financing, alongside my own participation and that of our CFO William Marshall, expresses their confidence in the company’s future and we are appreciative of their continued support. We look forward to sharing additional updates on the development of our business in our upcoming investor communications.”

The group of investors included Authentidate’s largest stockholder, Lazarus Investment Partners LLLP as well as affiliates of Mr. J. David Luce, an Authentidate board member, Mr. O'Connell Benjamin, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and a board member, as well as Mr. William Marshall, Chief Financial Officer of Authentidate. In addition, we also entered into a separate agreement with Lazarus Investment Partners, LLLP pursuant to which we granted it the right to appoint either an observer to our board of directors or to nominate an individual for election to our board of directors.

This release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities

laws of such state. The securities were offered and sold in a private placement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Such securities were offered and sold only to accredited investors and have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws.
