WAIVER
September 4, 2003
To the undersigned holder of the Preferred
Shares
issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement
(as defined below) and the undersigned holder of
a Warrant (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)
Gentlemen:
We refer to the Series H Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2003, as amended (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”), among Wave Systems Corp. (the “Company”) and the purchasers listed on Exhibit A thereto. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Purchase Agreement shall be used herein as therein defined.
Upon the effectiveness of this waiver as set forth below, the Company and the undersigned purchaser agree as follows:
(a) The rights of all the holders of the Preferred Shares to payments described in Section 7(c)(ii) of the Certificate of Designation are irrevocably waived.
(b) The rights of all the holders of the Preferred Shares under Sections 3, 8(a), 8(c), 8(e), 8(h) and 9 of the Certificate of Designation are irrevocably waived.
(c) Section 1 of each Warrant shall be amended to read in its entirety as follows:
“Term. The right to subscribe for and purchase shares of Warrant Stock represented hereby shall commence on September 15, 2003 and expire at 5:00 p.m., eastern time, on April 30, 2008 (such period being the “Term”).”
(d) Section 2(a) of each Warrant shall be amended to read in its entirety as follows:
“Time to Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part during the Term commencing on September 15, 2003 and expiring on April 30, 2008.”
(e) Sections 2(f), 4 and 5 of each Warrant shall be deleted in their entirety.
(f) Section 8(c)(ii) of each Warrant shall be amended to read in its entirety as follows:
“(ii) The Issuer shall not be obligated to issue shares of Common Stock to any Holder in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock representing such Holder’s Pro Rata Maximum (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) of the Issuable Maximum as set forth on Schedule 3.16 of the Purchase Agreement.”
(g) Notwithstanding Section 3.12 of the Purchase Agreement, the holders of the Preferred Shares shall have no rights to participate in any Subsequent Financing other than in the Next Financing. The “Next Financing” shall be the next sale to any third party of Common Stock or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock, including convertible debt securities (collectively, the “Financing Securities”), following September 9, 2003, other than a Permitted Financing. In connection with the Next Financing, notwithstanding Section 3.12 of the Purchase Agreement, the Rights Notice shall only provide the Purchasers an option during the two (2) trading days following delivery of the Rights Notice to inform the Company in writing whether the Purchasers will purchase any of the securities being offered in the Next Financing on the same terms and conditions as contemplated by the Next Financing. Each Purchaser will only be entitled to purchase securities being offered in the Next Financing having an aggregate purchase price not to exceed the amount invested by such Purchaser on April 30, 2003. If the aggregate size of the Next Financing is less than $5,485,000, then the investment amount that such Purchaser can make shall be reduced by a pro rata amount. Appropriate amendments are hereby deemed to be made to Section 3.12 to effect the foregoing.
(h) Sections 3.13 and 3.15 of the Purchase Agreement shall be deleted in their entirety.
(i) Section 3.16 of the Purchase Agreement shall be amended to read in its entirety as follows:
“The Issuer shall not be obligated to issue in excess of the Issuable Maximum (as defined in the Warrants and Certificate of Designation). Each Purchaser’s and the Other Purchaser’s pro rata portion of the Issuable Maximum based upon the number of shares of Common

Except as expressly provided herein, no term or provision of the Transaction Documents shall be amended or otherwise modified, and each term or provision of the Transaction Documents shall remain in full force and effect.
