Effective on the date of grant specified above (the “Date of Grant”), the Board of Directors (“Board”), or the Stock Option Committee (“Committee”) designated by the Board, of Authentidate Holding Corp. (the “Company”) has granted to the above-named optionee (the “Optionee”) an option (the “Option”) to purchase from the Company, for the price per share set forth above, the number of shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock, $.001 par value per share (the “Stock”) of the Company set forth above pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 2000 Employee Stock Option Plan (“Plan”) which is incorporated in this Option as though set forth in full. This Option is intended to be treated as an “incentive stock option" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). 

The terms and conditions of the Option granted hereby, are as follows: 

1.   The number
    and price of the Shares subject to this Option shall be the number and price
    set forth above, subject to any adjustments which may be made pursuant
to Section 9 below. 

2.   Subject
    to the terms and conditions set forth in this Option, this Option may be
    exercised to purchase the Shares covered by this Option as follows: commencing
    on the first anniversary of the Date of Grant (the “Anniversary”),
but prior to the second Anniversary, up to an aggregate of
_____
of the aggregate number of Shares covered by this Option; after the second Anniversary
    but prior to the third Anniversary, up to an aggregate of
______
of the aggregate number of Shares covered by this Option; after the third Anniversary
but prior to ___ (the “Expiration Date”), all of the Shares covered by this Option.
This Option shall terminate and no Shares may be purchased after the Expiration
Date. 

1 

3.   Except as provided in Section 7 of this Option, this Option may not be exercised
    unless the Optionee is in the employ of the Company or one of its parent
    or subsidiary corporations (as within the meaning of Section 425(e) and (f)
    of the Code respectively) on the date of such exercise and shall have been
    such employee continuously since the Date of Grant of this Option. 

4.   Subject
    to the terms and conditions set forth in this Option, this Option is exercisable
    by a written notice signed by you and delivered to the Company
    at its executive offices, signifying your election to exercise this Option.
    The notice must state the number of Shares as to which your Option is being
    exercised, must contain a statement by you (in a form acceptable to the Company)
    that such Shares are being acquired by you for investment and not with a
    view to their distribution or resale (unless a Registration Statement covering
    the Shares has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission)
    and must be accompanied by the full purchase price of the Shares being purchased.
    Payment shall be in cash, or by certified or bank cashier's check payable
    to the order of the Company, free from all collection charges, provided,
    however, that payment may be made in shares of Mature Stock owned by the
    Optionee having a market value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate
    purchase price, or in a combination of cash and Mature Stock. For the purposes
    of this provision, Mature Stock shall mean shares of the Company's Common
    Stock that are owned by the Optionee for a minimum of six months prior to
the date the Optionee exercises this Option.
    For these purposes, the market value per share of Mature Stock shall be:
    (i) if the
    Stock is traded on a national securities exchange or on the
    Nasdaq National Market System (“NMS”), the per share closing price
    of the Stock on the principal securities exchange on which they are listed
    or on NMS, as the case may be, on the date of exercise (or if there is no
    closing price for such date of exercise, then the last preceding business
    day on which there was a closing price); or (ii) if the Stock is traded in
    the over-the-counter market and quotations are published on the Nasdaq quotation
    system (but not on NMS), the closing bid price of the Stock on the date of
    exercise as reported by Nasdaq (or if there is no closing bid prices for
    such date of exercise, then the last preceding business day on which there
    was a closing bid price); or (iii) if the Stock is traded in the over-the-counter
    market but bid quotations are not published on Nasdaq, the closing bid price
    per share for the Stock as furnished by a broker-dealer which regularly furnishes
  price quotations for the Stock.  

2 

If
    notice of the exercise of this Option is given by the person or persons other
    than you, the Company may require, as a condition to the exercise of this
    Option, the submission to the Company of appropriate proof of the right of
    such person or person to exercise this Option. 

Certificate
    for Shares so purchased will be issued as soon as practicable. The Company,
    however, shall not be required to issue or deliver a certificate for any
    Shares until it has complied with all requirements of the Securities Act
    of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, any
    stock exchange on which the Company's Stock may then be listed and all applicable
    state laws in connection with the issuance or sale of such Shares or the
    listing of such Shares on such exchange. Until the issuance of the certificate
    for such Shares, you or such other person as may be entitled to exercise
    this Option, shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect
    to Shares subject to this Option. 

3 

5.   As soon
    as practicable after the Company receives payment for the Shares, it shall
    deliver a certificate or certificates representing the Shares so
    purchased to the Optionee. 

6.   This Option
    is personal to the Optionee and during the Optionee's lifetime may be exercised
    only by the Optionee. This Option shall not be transferable
    other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 

7.   In the event
    that an option holder ceases to be an employee of the Company or of any subsidiary
    for any reason other than permanent disability (as determined
    by the Board of Directors) or death, this Option, including any unexercised
    portion thereof, which was otherwise exercisable on the date of termination,
    shall expire unless exercised within a period of three months from the date
    on which the Optionee ceased to be so employed, but in no event after the
    Expiration Date. In the event of the death of Optionee during this three
    month period, this Option shall be exercisable by his or her personal representatives,
    heirs or legatees to the same extent that the Optionee could have exercised
    this Option if he or she had not died, for the three months from the date
    of death, but in no event after the Expiration Date. In the event of the
    permanent disability of Optionee while an employee of the Company or of any
    subsidiary, this Option shall be exercisable for twelve (12) months after
    the date of permanent disability, but in no event after the Expiration Date.
    In the event of the death of the Optionee while an employee of the Company
    or any Subsidiary, or during the twelve (12) month period after the date
    of permanent disability of the Optionee, that portion of the Option which
    had become exercisable on the date of death shall be exercisable by his or
    her personal representatives, heir or legatees at any time prior to the expiration
    of twelve (12) months from the date of the death of Optionee, but in no event
    after the Expiration Date. 

4 

8.   This Option
    does not confer on the Optionee any right to continue in the employ of the
    Company or interfere in any way with the right of the Company
    to determine the terms of the Optionee's employment. 

9.   In the event
    of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination
    of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, or any other
    change in the corporate structure or Stock of the Company, the Board shall
    make such adjustments, if any, as it deems appropriate in the number and
    kind of shares covered by this Option, or in the Option price, or both. Notwithstanding
    any provision to the contrary, the Committee or the Board may cancel, amend,
    alter or supplement any term or provision of this Option to avoid the penalty
    provisions of Section 4999 of the Code. 

10.   This Option
    shall be subject to the requirement that if at any time the Board shall determine
    that the registration, listing or qualification of the Shares
    covered hereby upon any securities exchange or under any federal or state
    law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary
    or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of this
    Option or the purchase of the Shares, this Option may not be exercised unless
    and until such registration, listing, qualification, consent or approval
    shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable
    to the Board. The Board may require that the person exercising this Option
    shall make such representations and agreements and furnish such information
    as it deems appropriate to assure compliance with the foregoing or any other
    applicable legal requirements. 

11.   This
    Option is intended to qualify for “incentive stock option” treatment
    under the provisions of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
    as amended. However, you are urged to consult with your individual tax
    advisor prior to exercising this Option since the
exercise
of this Option may result in adverse tax consequences including the payment of additional
federal and/or state income taxes.

    the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company. 

	
      2.	Acceptance
      of Option Agreement

  Your acceptance
    of this stock option agreement will indicate your acceptance of and
    your willingness to be bound by its terms; it imposes no obligation upon you
    to purchase any of the shares subject to the option. Your obligation to purchase
    shares can arise only upon your exercise of the option in the manner set forth
    in paragraph 4 hereof. 

	
      3.	When
      Option May Be Exercised

  Except as
    otherwise provided herein, this option shall be exercisable at any time prior

    if less than ten) and expires _____ , ____ (the “;Expiration Date”;)
    whether or not it has been duly exercised, unless sooner terminated as provided
    in paragraphs 5, 6 and 7 hereof. 

	
      4.	How

  This option
    is exercisable by a written notice signed by you and delivered to the Company

    The notice must state the number of shares of Common Stock as to which your
    option is being exercised, must contain a statement by you (in a form acceptable
    to the Company) that such shares are being acquired by you for investment
    and not with a view to their distribution or resale (unless a Registration

    Securities and Exchange Commission) and must be accompanied by cash or certified
    check to the order of the Company for the full purchase price of the shares
    being purchased. Payment shall be in cash, or by certified or bank cashier’s
    check payable to the order of the Company, free from all collection charges.

  If notice
    of the exercise of this option is given by the person or persons other than

  Certificate

    the Company’s common Stock may then be listed and all applicable state
    laws in connection with the issuance or sale of such shares or the listing

    option, shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to shares
    subject to this option. 

	
      5.	Termination
      of Directorship

    for any reason other than by death or disability, this option shall lapse
    and expire on the effective date of termination of service as a director.
    

	
      6.	No
      Rights as Shareholder

  Until the
    date that the conditions to exercise are, in the Company’s sole determination,
    satisfied, you (or such other person as may be entitled to exercise this option)
    shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to Common Stock
    upon exercise of this option. 

	
      7.	Disability

  If your service
    as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company is terminated
    by reason of your permanent disability you may exercise this option within
    one year from the date of such termination, provided, that such exercise occurs
    prior to the Expiration Date. 

	
      8.	Death

  If you die
    while serving as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, any
    option which was exercisable by you at the date of your death may be exercised
    by your legatee or legatees under your Will, or by your personal representatives
    or distributees, within one year from the date of your death, but in no event
    after the Expiration Date. 

	
      9.	Non-Transferability
      of Option

  This option
    shall not be transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution,
    and may be exercised during your lifetime only by you. Notwithstanding the
    foregoing, any proposed transfer shall be subject to the Internal Revenue
    Code, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and the federal securities
    laws and regulations.

	
      10.	Adjustments
      Upon Changes in Capitalization

  If at any
    time after the date of grant of this option, the Company shall, by stock dividend,
    split-up, combination, reclassification or exchange, or through merger or
    consolidation, or otherwise, change its shares of Common Stock into a different
    number or kind or class of shares or other securities or property, then the
    number of shares covered by this option and the price of each such share shall
    be proportionately adjusted for any such change by the Board of Directors
    whose determination shall be conclusive. Any fraction of a share resulting
    from any adjustment shall be eliminated through the payment of cash based
    upon the fair market value of the Common Stock. 

	
      11.	Subject
      to Terms of the Plan

  This stock
    option agreement shall be subject in all respects to the terms and conditions
    of the Plan and in the event of any question or controversy relating to the
    terms of the Plan, the decision of the Board of Directors shall be conclusive.
    

	 	 
	
      12.	Withholding

  The Company
    shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require an
    Optionee to remit to the Company as a condition precedent for the fulfillment
    of any Option Exercise, an amount sufficient to satisfy Federal, state, and
    local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld
    with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of the exercise of Options.
    Whenever Shares are to be issued or cash paid to a Optionee upon exercise
    of an Option, the Company shall have the right to require the Optionee to
    remit to the Company, as a condition of exercise of the Option, an amount
    sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local withholding tax requirements
    at the time of exercise.

	 	 
	
      13.	Tax
      Treatment

  option is not intended to qualify for “;incentive stock option”; treatment
