 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Authentidate Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), with its
principal offices located at 300 Connell Drive, Fifth Floor, Berkeley Heights, N.J. 07922, hereby promises to pay to Peachstate Health Management, LLC d/b/a AEON Clinical Laboratories (the “Holder”) at such address as the Holder designates
in writing to the Borrower, the principal sum of Four Hundred Fifty Thousand and NO/100 Dollars ($450,000.00) (the “Principal Amount”), on the earlier of the Maturity Date stated above, or the Accelerated Payment Date (as defined below).
This Note is a direct obligation of the Borrower. This Note is being issued pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated as of the October 28, 2015 among the Borrower and the original holder of the Notes (the “Purchase
Agreement”). By its acceptance of this Note, each Holder agrees to be bound by the terms of the Purchase Agreement. This Note is a direct obligation of the Borrower and ranks (i) subordinate to the rights of the holders of outstanding debt
securities previously issued by Borrower and (ii) 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. 

1. Interest on this Note shall be computed at the rate of 20% per annum, payable in arrears on the Maturity Date or the Accelerated
Payment Date, as the case may be, at which time all accrued and unpaid interest shall be immediately due and payable. All computations of interest payable hereunder shall be on the basis of a 365-day year and actual days elapsed in the period for
which such interest is payable. Accrued interest on the outstanding principal amount shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date or the Accelerated Payment Date in cash. Payments of all amounts due hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the
United States. 
 2. Payment of the Principal Amount of this Note, and interest thereon, shall be made upon the surrender of this Note to
the Borrower, at its chief executive office (or such other office within the United States as shall be designated by the Borrower 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. If the Maturity Date (or the Accelerated Payment Date) shall be a Saturday or a Sunday or shall be a legal holiday in the State of New York,
then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a legal holiday. For purposes of this note, a “month” shall mean a 30 day period. 

3. As used herein, the term “Accelerated Payment Date” shall mean a date within 30 days of the closing of a sale of equity or debt
securities of the Company, or series of closings, as part of the same transaction, of equity or debt securities within a period of 90 days, in the gross amount of at least $5,000,000 in cash proceeds.

 4. Events of Default. 

(a) For purposes of this Note, an “Event of Default” shall consist of any of the following events: 

(1) The Borrower shall fail to pay any portion of the Principal Amount of this Note when the same becomes due and payable, whether at the
Maturity Date or at any accelerated date of maturity or at any other date fixed for payment, and such default continues for 10 days or more. 

(2) The Borrower shall voluntarily commence any case, proceeding or other action under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction,
domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or relief of debtors, seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to it, or seeking to adjudicate it as bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking other relief with respect to its debts;
or a court shall enter an order for relief or any such adjudication or appointment, which case, proceeding or action or order, adjudication, or appointment, as the case may be, remains undismissed, undischarged or unbonded for a period of 60 days,
then, or any time thereafter during the continuance of any of such events. 
 (3) A final judgment for money damages or order for the
payment of money damages in excess of One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) (exclusive of amounts covered by insurance) shall be entered against the Borrower, which has not been vacated or stayed within 15 days of entry. 

(4) Any material representation or warranty of the Borrower herein or in the Purchase Agreement shall prove to have been false in any
material respect upon the date when made. 
 (5) The occurrence of a default (after giving effect to any grace periods or rights to cure
held by the Borrower) under any material indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from other than the failure to timely pay interest or principal of such indebtedness which results in the acceleration of the maturity of such indebtedness. 

(6) The Borrower shall liquidate, dissolve, terminate or suspend its business operations. 

(b) Acceleration of Payment. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 4(a)(2) hereof with
respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Holder, by written notice to the Company, may declare due and payable the principal amount of this Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such
principal shall be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 4(a)(2) 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. Further, upon an Event of Default, from such date of the Event of Default, Holder shall be entitled, and this Note shall bear 

  
 2 








 
interest at the rate of 2.48% per month until such Event of Default is cured. Upon the payment in full of the amounts due under this Note, the Holder shall promptly surrender this Note to or
as directed by the Borrower. 
 (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. 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 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. 
 (d) 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. 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 4 or by law to the Holder may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Holder.

(b) This Note and the rights and obligations of the Holder and of the undersigned shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws

(d) No failure or delay on the part of the Holders hereof in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing hereunder are cumulative to, and not

 (e) The Borrower hereby, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, waives presentment,
demand, notice (including without limitation notice of default (except as otherwise specifically set forth herein), notice of protest, notice of intention to accelerate maturity, notice of acceleration of maturity and notice of nonpayment or
dishonor), protest and all other demands and notices in connection with delivery, acceptance, performance, default, acceleration or enforcement of or under this Note, and the bringing of suit and diligence in taking any action to collect amounts
