THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of this              day of February, 2006, between Computer Software Innovations, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“the Company”) and                          (the “Consultant”), is made pursuant and subject to the provisions of the Company’s 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended, and any future amendments thereto (the “Plan”). The Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, is incorporated herein by reference. All terms used herein that are defined in the Plan and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings given them in the Plan.

(a) Risks of Forfeiture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine that all or some of the shares of Restricted Stock which would otherwise be forfeited upon the termination of the Consultant’s Services under the Letter of Engagement shall not be so forfeited depending upon the circumstances relating to such termination.

(b) Return of Forfeited Award. If any portion of the award is forfeited as described in paragraph 2(a) above, the Consultant shall return the shares of Restricted Stock so forfeited by surrendering his stock certificate evidencing the shares of Restricted Stock for cancellation. The Company shall cancel such certificate and reissue to the Consultant a new certificate evidencing the shares of Restricted Stock that were not so forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Consultant may mutually agree that in lieu of returning the forfeited shares of Restricted Stock to the Company, the Consultant may pay to the Company a specified amount in cash in complete settlement of the Consultant’s obligation to return the forfeited Restricted Stock.

(c) Certificates Issued. The stock certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock shall be issued and registered on the Company’s books in the name of the Consultant as of the date hereof. The Company shall cause a stock certificate or certificates, without a restricted stock legend, covering the requisite number of vested shares of the Company’s Common Stock, registered on the Company’s books in the name of the Consultant to be delivered to the Consultant, within thirty (30) days after such vesting. Upon receipt of such stock certificate(s), the Consultant is free to hold or dispose of such certificate, subject to (1) the general conditions and procedures provided in the Plan and this Agreement, (2) the applicable restrictions and procedures of federal and state securities laws and (3) the obligation of the Consultant to return to the Company the certificate in the event of any forfeiture of a portion of the award as provided in paragraph 2(b) above.


(d) Stockholder Rights. Prior to any forfeiture of the shares of Restricted Stock and the Consultant shall, subject to the restrictions of the Plan, have all rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock awarded hereunder, including the right to receive dividends, warrants and other stock rights and to vote the shares of Restricted Stock

(e) Tax Obligations. Since the Consultant is not an employee of the Company, the Company is under no obligation to withhold from any award of the Restricted Stock any federal, state or local income taxes or employment taxes required by any government to be paid with respect to such award. The Consultant acknowledges and understands that he shall not be treated as an employee of the Company for federal, state or local tax purposes and that he shall be solely responsible for the payment of all applicable federal, state and local income taxes and self-employment taxes that may become due by him as a result of the award under this Agreement.

3. Termination as Consultant. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

4. No Right to Continued Service. This Agreement does not confer upon the Consultant any right or obligation with respect to continuance of the Services under the Letter of Engagement, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Consultant or the Company to terminate the Letter of Engagement or the Services thereunder at any time.

5. Change in Control or Capital Structure. In the event of a Change in Control, the provisions of Section 8.04 of the Plan shall apply to this award of Restricted Stock.

The award of Restricted Stock pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge or to consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate or sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

6. Consultant’s Acknowledgments and Representations.
