Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Authentidate Holding Corp. (the “Company”) issued a senior secured promissory note (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $320,000 to MKA 79, LLC (the “Purchaser”), in a private transaction dated August 7, 2015. The Note is due and payable on December 31, 2015 and interest shall accrue on the Note at the rate of 10.0% per annum. The Note is not convertible into equity securities of the Company and it contains terms and events of default customary for similar transactions. The Note is secured by a first priority lien on certain of our assets, as described in a security agreement entered into between the Company and the Purchaser dated as of August 7, 2015. In consideration of the loan, the Company and the Purchaser entered into a Warrant Amendment Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to amend certain of the terms of the existing 5,474,829 Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Warrants”) currently held by the Purchaser and an affiliate of the Purchaser. In amending the Warrants, the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of such Warrants to $0.17 and to extend the expiration date of the Warrants to December 13, 2019. The Warrants amended by the Warrant Amendment Agreement were issued in various transactions on or about March 14, 2012, September 28, 2012, and June 20, 2013 at exercise prices ranging between $0.95 and $1.34. The Purchaser is an entity affiliated with J. David Luce, a member of the Company’s board of directors. The Company is using the net proceeds from the transaction for general business and working capital purposes. The description of the terms and conditions of the Note, the Security Agreement and related Warrant Amendment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the form of the Note, Security Agreement and the Warrant Amendment Agreement, which documents have been filed as exhibits to this Form 8-K.

Maturity Date:   December 31, 2015     

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 the order of MKA 79, LLC (the “ Holder ”) at such address as the Holder designates in writing to the Borrower, the principal sum of Three Hundred and Twenty Thousand Dollars ($320,000.00) (the “ Principal Amount ”), on the earlier of the Maturity Date stated above, or such earlier date as this note may be payable in accordance with Section 4, below. This Senior Secured Promissory Note (this “ Note ”) is a direct obligation of the Borrower.

1. Interest on this Note shall be computed at the rate of 10.0% per annum, payable in arrears on the Maturity Date or such earlier date as this note may be payable in accordance with Section 4, below, 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 on any earlier date on which the Principal Amount of this Note becomes due and payable. 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 earlier date of payment) 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 which is not a legal holiday. For purposes of this note, a “month” shall mean a 30 day period. The Borrower may prepay this obligation in whole or part at any time and from time to time without premium or penalty of any kind, upon ten (10) days advance written notice to the Holder, provided that any prepayment shall be applied first to accrued but unpaid interest and any other sums owed to Holder, and then to reduce the Principal Amount of the Note.

3. Seniority and Certain Covenants .

(a) Seniority and Security . The obligations of the Borrower under this Note are secured by certain assets of the Borrower pursuant to the Security Agreement, dated as of the Issuance Date of this Note (the “ Security Agreement ”) between the Borrower and the Holder. This Note shall be senior in right of payment to all other Indebtedness of the Borrower and its subsidiaries, subject to the terms herein.

(b) Negative Covenants . As long as any portion of this Note remains outstanding, unless the Holder shall have otherwise given prior written consent, the Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of the subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(i) other than Permitted Indebtedness (as defined in the Security Agreement), enter into, create, incur, assume, guarantee or suffer to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money of any kind, including, but not limited to, a guarantee, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom;

 

1


(ii) other than Permitted Liens (as defined in the Security Agreement), enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Liens (as defined in the Security Agreement) of any kind, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom; or

(iii) prepay any Indebtedness (as defined in the Security Agreement), other than pursuant to payments of Permitted Indebtedness. For purposes of clarity, nothing herein shall restrict or limit the Borrower’s payment of the principal amount of, or interest on, any instruments evidencing Indebtedness issued by the Borrower prior to the date hereof and as such instruments may have been amended to date, in accordance with their terms, and any deferrals, renewals or extensions thereof, and any notes or other instruments or evidences of Indebtedness issued in respect of or in exchange thereof.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3, if any transaction contemplated by Section 3(b) provides for the repayment of this Note at or prior to the closing of such transaction, then the consent of the Holder shall not be required, provided that this Note is paid in full at or prior to the closing of such transaction.

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 or any accrued, but unpaid interest thereon, 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 5 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 30 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 Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (exclusive of amounts covered by insurance) shall be entered against the Borrower, which has not been vacated or stayed within 10 days of entry.

(4) Any material representation or warranty of the Borrower herein 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.

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

 

2


(b) Acceleration of Payment . If an Event of Default with respect to the Borrower (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 4(a)(2) hereof) occurs and is continuing, the Holder, by written notice to the Borrower, 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 Borrower, 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 interest at the rate of 16% per annum. 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 Annual, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, in respect of the Note 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.

Section 7.11. Release . No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment or termination of this Agreement or of any instrument or document executed and delivered by the Company to the Secured Party, nor additional advances made by the Secured Party to the Company, nor the taking of further security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral by the Secured Party nor any other act of the Secured Party shall release the Company from any Obligation, except a release or discharge executed in writing by the Secured Party or the Majority in Interest if there is more than one Secured Party, with respect to such Obligation or upon full payment and satisfaction of all Obligations and termination of the Secured Note. At such time the Obligations have been satisfied in full, the Secured Party or the Majority in Interest if there is more than one Secured Party, shall execute and deliver to the Company all assignments and other instruments as may be reasonably necessary or proper to terminate the Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral, subject to any disposition of the Collateral that may have been made by or on behalf of the Secured Party 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 Party 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.

This WARRANT AMENDMENT AGREEMENT (this “ Amendment ”), dated as of August 7, 2015 (the “ Execution Date ”), is entered into by and among AUTHENTIDATE HOLDING CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”) and MKA 79, LLC (the “ Lender ”) and Margaret Luce (together, the “ Holders ”), the holders of the Warrants (as such term is defined below).

WHEREAS, the Company has issued to the Holders the following warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company: (i) warrants to purchase 1,119,403 shares of common stock on March 14, 2012 (the “ March 2012 Warrants ”), (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,705,426 shares of common stock in three issuances on September 28, 2012 (the “ September 2012 Warrants ”), and (iii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,650,000 shares of common stock in two issuances on June 20, 2013 (the “ June 2013 Warrants ”) (collectively, the “ Warrants ”); and

WHEREAS, in consideration of the Lender’s agreement to extend a loan of up to a maximum principal amount of $320,000 to the Company, the Company and Holders desire to amend the Warrants to reduce the exercise price and to extend the exercise period of such Warrants.

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged the Company and the Holders agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Definitions and Effectiveness . As used herein, terms that are defined herein shall have the meanings as so defined, and terms not so defined shall have the meanings as set forth in the Warrants. This Amendment is binding on the parties on the date hereof (the “ Effective Date ”).

SECTION 2. Amendments to the Warrants . The Warrants shall be amended as follows:

(a) The relevant section of each of the Warrants is hereby amended to modify the definition of the term “Exercise Price” such that from and after the Effective Date of this Amendment, the term “ Exercise Price ” shall be as follows:

Exercise Price ” means the price at which the Holder may purchase one share of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as determined from time to time pursuant to the provisions hereof. The initial Exercise Price is $0.17 per share, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(b) The relevant section of each of the Warrants is hereby amended to modify the definition of the term “ Expiration Date ” such that from and after the Effective Date of this Amendment, the term “ Expiration Date ” shall be as follows:

Expiration Date ” shall be December 13, 2019.

SECTION 3. Effect of Amendments . Upon the Effective Date of this Amendment, (i) the applicable portions of this Amendment shall be a part of each of the Warrants and each of the Warrants shall incorporate the provisions of Section 2 hereof which are applicable to such Warrants, and (ii) each reference in the Warrants to “this Warrant”, “this Agreement”, “hereof”, “hereunder”, or words of like import, and each reference in any other document or agreement to the Warrants shall mean and be a reference to such Warrants as amended hereby. In the event of any inconsistencies between this Amendment and any of the Warrants, the terms of this Amendment shall govern. Except as expressly amended hereby, each of the Warrants, as amended hereby, shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed by the parties hereto.

SECTION 4. 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. Each Holder further represents and warrants that (i) it is the beneficial or record owner of each of the Warrants originally issued to it, free and clear of any and all pledges, liens, security interests, mortgage, claims, charges, restrictions, options, title defects or encumbrances; (ii) such Holder has not assigned or transferred any interest in the Warrants; (iii) it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933; (iv) it is holding the Warrants (and the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise thereof) for its own account for investment and not with a view toward distribution in a manner which would violate the Securities Act of 1933 or any applicable state securities laws; and (v) it is aware that the Warrants (and the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise thereof) are “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws and must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and under applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

SECTION 5. Governing Law; Miscellaneous .

(a) This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without reference to principles of conflicts of law. Headings used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning of this Amendment. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Executed counterparts may be delivered via facsimile or other means of electronic transmission.

(b) In the event one or more of the provisions of this Amendment should, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Amendment, and this Amendment shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

(c) This Amendment contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior arrangements and understandings between the parties, either written or oral, with respect to its subject matter. No provision of this Amendment may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Company and the Holders. The failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect the rights at a later time to enforce the same. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Amendment, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision. 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.

(d) Each Holder has engaged and consulted with its own attorneys prior to the execution of this Amendment. The Holders understand, confirm and agree that counsel to the Company is not acting as counsel to any of the Holders and the undersigned Holders have not relied upon any legal advice except as provided by its own attorneys and counsel.
