(a) Modification. The Contract shall be, and the same is, modified in the manner set forth in Attachment 2.

Nothing contained in this Modification Agreement shall in any way impair the security now held for the indebtedness evidenced by the Contract or the lien priority thereof, nor waive, annul, vary or affect any provision, condition, covenant and agreement contained in the Contract, nor affect or impair any rights, powers and remedies under the Contract, except as herein specifically modified to do any one or more of the foregoing. If any provision in this Modification Agreement shall be interpreted or applied by a court or other tribunal with personal and subject matter jurisdiction over the parties hereto and the Contract, as modified, so as to impair the security now held for the indebtedness or lien priority thereof, or do any one or more of any of the foregoing, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent it causes an impairment of such security or the lien priority thereof or causes any of such other consequences, or the application thereof shall be in a manner and to an extent which does not impair such security or the lien priority thereof, or result in the occurrence of any of the other consequences. This Modification Agreement does not extend the expiration dates or enlarge the terms of any property, physical damage, credit and any other insurance written in connection with or financed by said Contract.

(d) Usury. Bank does not intend to and shall not reserve, charge and collect interest, fees and charges under the Contract, as herein modified, in excess of the maximum rates and amounts permitted by applicable law. If any interest, fees and charges are reserved, charged and collected in excess of the maximum rates and amounts, it shall be construed as a mutual mistake, appropriate adjustments shall be made by Bank and to the extent paid, the excess shall be returned to the person making such a payment.
(e) Documentary Stamps, etc. To the extent not prohibited by law and notwithstanding who is liable for payment of the taxes and fees, Borrower shall pay, on Banks demand, all intangible taxes, documentary stamp taxes, excise taxes and other similar taxes assessed, charged and required to be paid in connection with this Modification Agreement, and any future extension, renewal and modification of the Contract, or assessed, charged and required to be paid in connection with any of the loan documents which make up the Contract.

1. | Describe Promissory Note (Date, Original Amount, Current Amount and all Modifications): |
Commercial Promissory Note from Computer Software Innovations, Inc. to RBC Centura Bank (now known as RBC Bank (USA)) dated January 2, 2007 in the original principal amount of $800,000.00, with a current outstanding balance of $334,630.00.

(b) | UCC-1 Financing Statement, filed on January 31, 2007 in the Department of State for Delaware as No. 2007 0088061. |
Attachment 2
To
Modification Agreement
The Contract shall be, and the same is, modified as follows:
1. | The principal amount as stated in the Note is increased to $1,000,000.00 and to the extent the principal amount is stated in any of the other individual instruments, documents and agreements that make up the Contract, the principal amount stated therein is increased to the amount stated herein. |
2. | The maturity date stated in the Note is changed to November 15, 2010 and to the extent the maturity date is stated in any of the other individual instruments, documents and agreements that make up the Contracts, the maturity date stated therein is changed to the date stated herein. |
3. | The payment terms as stated in the Note are changed to principal and interest payable in twenty (23) equal consecutive monthly payments of Forty Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($40,000.00), commencing on December 1, 2008, and continuing on the same day of each calendar month thereafter until November 15, 2010, when one final payment of the entire balance of principal, interest, fees, premiums, charges and costs and expenses then outstanding shall be due and payable in full. |
4. | The pre-default interest payable on the Note per annum is changed to accrue at two and one half percent (2.50%) plus the LIBOR Base Rate. The LIBOR Base Rate is the London Interbank Offer Rate for United States Dollars for a term of one month which appears on Telerate Page 3750, Bloomberg Professional Screen BBAM (or any generally recognized successor method or means of publication) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, two (2) London business days prior to the day on which the rate will become effective. The rate for the first month or part thereof will initially become effective on the date of the Note as shown on the face hereof. Thereafter, the rate will change and a new rate will become effective on the first calendar day of each succeeding month. If for any reason the London Interbank Offer Rate is not available, then the LIBOR Base Rate shall mean the rate per annum which banks charge each other in a market comparable to Englands Eurodollar market on short-term money in U.S. Dollars for an amount substantially equivalent to the principal amount due under this Note as determined at 11:00 A.M., London time, two (2) London business days prior to the day on which the rate will become effective, as determined in the Banks sole discretion. Banks determination of such interest rate shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. |
5. | Except as modified herein, each of the loan and security documents comprising the Contract remains in full force and effect and legally binding and enforceable against the Borrower. |
