This Amendment No. 1 to Unit Purchase Agreement (this “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of March 4, 2011, by and among Technest Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Technest”), AccelPath LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company (“AccelPath”) and all of the members of AccelPath (each a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”).
RECITALS
Whereas, each of Technest, AccelPath and the Sellers have previously entered into that certain Unit Purchase Agreement dated as of January 11, 2011 (the “Unit Purchase Agreement”);

Whereas, on the date hereof, 315,000 Units (as defined in the Unit Purchase Agreement) have been repurchased from one of the Sellers by AccelPath and terminated, reducing the number of issued and outstanding Units from 2,900,000 to 2,585,000;
Whereas, in order to carry out the intent of the parties to achieve the Target Percentage immediately following the closing of the AccelPath Transaction, the parties now desire to amend the Unit Purchase Agreement to increase the exchange ratio from 29.7073240 shares of Technest’s common stock for each Unit to 33.3273650 shares of Technest’s common stock for each Unit;
Whereas, pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Unit Purchase Agreement any provision of the Unit Purchase Agreement may be amended by action taken or authorized by Technest’s Board of Directors and AccelPath’s Managers; and
Whereas, this Amendment has been duly authorized and approved by Technest’s Board of Directors and AccelPath’s Managers.
