case of Capital Leases and (y) in the case of the Dupont Leases, do not result in increases of the cash payments of base rent, additional rent or any other cash payments with respect to the Dupont Leases), with respect to the Indebtedness so
refinanced, renewed, or extended; provided that with respect to the Dupont Leases, the amount of the lease payments with respect to the Dupont Leases may be increased in an amount reasonably acceptable to Agent in connection with (A) a
corresponding reduction of the effective interest rate and related lease and rent payments and (B) the alteration of payment terms so that no lease or rent payments are due or payable until at least 180 days after the Maturity Date,
(ii) such refinancings, renewals, or extensions do not result in a shortening of the average weighted maturity of the Indebtedness so refinanced, renewed, or extended (and in the case of the Dupont Leases, do not change the dates upon which

materially more burdensome or restrictive to any of Holdings, Borrower or their respective Subsidiaries, (iii) if the Indebtedness that is refinanced, renewed, or extended was subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations, then the terms
and conditions of the refinancing, renewal, or extension Indebtedness must include subordination terms and conditions that are at least as favorable to the Lender Group as those that were applicable to the refinanced, renewed, or extended
Indebtedness, (iv) if the Indebtedness that is refinanced, renewed or extended was (x) unsecured, then the refinanced, renewed or extended Indebtedness must be unsecured or (y) secured, then the refinanced, renewed or extended
Indebtedness must not be secured by any assets which did not secure the Indebtedness that was refinanced, renewed or extended, (v) the Indebtedness that is refinanced, renewed, or extended is not recourse to any Person that is liable on account
of the Obligations other than those Persons which were obligated with respect to the Indebtedness that was refinanced, renewed, or extended, and (vi) all payments made with respect to the Indebtedness that is so refinanced shall be funded
solely from the Indebtedness that refinances such refinanced Indebtedness, 
 (e) UK Indebtedness, including the UK Guaranty
and Indebtedness with respect to Hedge Agreements entered into pursuant to the UK Loan Agreement for bona fide hedging purposes and not for speculative purposes,

Lenders, as security for the Obligations,

 -12-Modification to Revolving Facility

 Exhibit 10.1 
 MODIFICATION TO REVOLVING FACILITY 
 THIS
MODIFICATION TO REVOLVING FACILITY (this “Modification”) is made and entered into this 30th day of June, 2008 by and between
Computer Software Innovations, Inc. (“Borrower”) and RBC Bank (the “Bank”). 
 This Modification is
intended to modify the maturity date of that certain Revolving Facility as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated September 14, 2007 (the “Loan Agreement”). Specifically, the following
terms are amended: (1) Section 2.2 of the Amended and Restated Commercial Promissory Note dated September 14, 2007 (the “Revolving Note”) shall be amended to reflect that the Maturity Date (as defined therein) shall
be June 30, 2010; and (2) the definition of Revolving Maturity Date as stated in Exhibit A to the Loan Agreement shall be amended to be June 30, 2010. 
 All other terms contained in the Revolving Note and the Loan Agreement (collectively, the “Loan Documents”), shall remain in full force and effect. All capitalized but undefined terms contained herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents are each and all hereby ratified and affirmed in all respects by the parties hereto, except as specifically amended or modified herein. It is expressly understood and
agreed that: (a) except as expressly modified hereby, the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and this Modification shall have no effect on the priority or validity of the liens set forth in or established by the Loan
Documents; (b) except as stated herein, Bank expressly reserves all rights as to recourse under the Loan Documents; and (c) no novation is intended to result from the parties entering into this Modification. Nothing set forth herein shall
affect the priority or extent of the lien of any of the Loan Documents, nor, except as expressly set forth herein, release or change the liability of any party who may now be or after the date of this Modification become liable, primarily or
secondarily, under the Loan Documents. 
 This Modification shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their
respective legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that Borrower shall not assign this Modification, any of the Loan Documents, or any of its respective rights, interests, duties or obligations hereunder or
thereunder in whole or in part without the Bank’s prior written consent and that any such assignment (whether voluntary or by operation of law) without said consent shall be void. This Modification may be executed in any number of counterparts
with the same effective as if all parties hereto had signed it. All counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one instrument, but in making proof hereof it shall only be necessary to produce one such counterpart. It is the
intention of the parties that this Modification and the Loan Documents be interpreted in a consistent manner; provided, however, in the event of any irreconcilable conflict in the provisions of this Modification and the provisions of the Loan
Documents, the provisions of this Modification shall control. 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Modification to be executed with authority duly
obtained, as of the date first written above.
