TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 2.03 CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION
On January 7, 2008, Streamline Health, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Streamline Health
Solutions, Inc., entered into a new revolving loan agreement with the Fifth Third Bank, Cincinnati,
OH, in the principal amount of $500,000. The interest rate on amounts borrowed will accrue at a
variable rate from the Prime Rate to the Prime Rate plus 3%, based on the ratio of the funded
indebtedness to the trailing twelve months earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA). The agreement contains other covenants including; Minimum Tangible Net
Worth, Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and Funded Indebtedness to EBITDA. The loan is guaranteed by
the Registrant and is secured by a first lien on all of the assets of the Registrant and its
subsidiary. The complete terms of this loan are set forth in the Revolving Note and Continuing
Guarantee Agreement attached as Exhibits 10.1 & 10.2.
This new temporary facility expires on April 30, 2008, and replaces the previous Revolving Loan
Facility entered into in January 2007 with the Fifth Third Bank. Currently the Registrant is
soliciting proposals from additional lenders, and the Registrant expects to enter into a new longer
term agreement prior to April 30, 2008.
Streamline Health believes that its present cash position, combined with cash generation currently
anticipated from operations will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash requirements for the short
term and the Registrant will not be required to use this temporary facility in the short term.

Third Bancorp (together with its successors and assigns, the Lender) the sum of Five Hundred
Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) (the Borrowing), plus interest as provided herein, less
such amounts as shall have been repaid in accordance with this Note. The outstanding balance of
this Note shall appear on a supplemental bank record and is not necessarily the face amount of this
Note, which record shall evidence the balance due pursuant to this Note at any time.
Principal and interest payments shall be initiated by Lender in accordance with the terms of this
Note from Borrowers account through BillPayer 2000®. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to initiate
such payments from Borrowers account located at Fifth Third Bank, routing number x account number
x. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that use of BillPayer 2000® shall be governed by the BillPayer
2000® Terms and Conditions, a copy of which Borrower acknowledges receipt. Borrower further
acknowledges and agrees to maintain payments hereunder through BillPayer 2000® throughout the term
of this Note. Each payment hereunder shall be applied first to advanced costs, charges and fees,
then to accrued interest, and then to principal, which will be repaid in inverse chronological
order of maturity.
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations and warranties
of Borrower herein, Lender hereby extends to Borrower a line of credit facility pursuant to which
Lender, in its reasonable discretion, may make loans hereunder to Borrower, on a revolving basis
and upon Borrowers request from time to time during the term of this Note (each, a Revolving
Loan), provided that: (a) the aggregate principal amount borrowed hereunder at any time shall not
exceed the lesser of (i) the Borrowing, or (ii) the Borrowing Base (as defined below) and (b) no
Event of Default shall exist or be caused thereby. Lender may create and maintain reserves from
time to time based on such credit and collateral considerations as Lender may deem appropriate.
Borrower may borrow, prepay, in whole or in part, and reborrow hereunder; provided that, in the
event that the principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding at any one time under this Note
shall exceed the foregoing limits, Borrower shall immediately repay the amount of such excess to
Lender in cash. In the event Borrower fails to pay such excess, Lender may, in its discretion,
setoff such amount against Borrowers accounts at Lender.
Borrower may request a Revolving Loan by written notice to Lender, via facsimile transmission,
electronic mail or otherwise, no later than 10:00 a.m. local time on the date Borrower shall
request that such Revolving Loan be advanced, which written request shall include a Borrowing Base
Certificate certified by the Borrower or financial officer of Borrower that sets forth the
calculation of the Borrowing Base as of such date if requested or required by Lender. Lender shall
make each Revolving Loan by crediting the amount thereof to Borrowers account at Lender.
The entire principal balance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and any other charges,
advances and fees, if any, outstanding hereunder, shall be due and payable in full on the earlier
of the Maturity Date or upon acceleration of the Note.
The principal sum outstanding shall bear interest from the date of the first advance until paid at
a floating rate of interest equal to the percent per annum set forth below (the Interest Rate),
which rate of interest will fluctuate on a periodic basis as provided herein to the rate specified
by the following table based upon the ratio of Borrowers Trailing Twelve Month EBITDA (TTM
EBITDA):

Interest rate changes based upon changes in the foregoing chart will be made effective as of the
date of the first advance hereunder and on the first day of the calendar month following the review
by Lender of Borrowers monthly financial statements detailing compliance with the above-mentioned
financial measurement. As used herein, Prime Rate shall mean the rate established from time to time
by Fifth Third Bank at its principal office as its Prime Rate, whether or not Fifth Third Bank
shall at times lend to borrowers at lower rates of interest, or if there is no such prime rate,
then such other rate as may be substituted by Fifth Third Bank for the prime rate. In addition to
changes occurring pursuant to fluctuations in the foregoing chart, the interest rate charged
hereunder shall change automatically upon each change in the Prime Rate. Interest shall be
calculated based on a
360-day year and charged for the actual number of days elapsed, and shall be
payable on the 1st day of each month beginning on January 1, 2008.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Note, in no event shall the interest rate
charged on the Borrowing exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable state
and/or federal usury law. Any payment of interest that would be deemed unlawful under applicable
law for any reason shall be deemed received on account of, and will automatically be applied to
reduce, the principal sum outstanding and any other sums (other than interest) due and payable to
Lender under this Note, and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for the
highest rate of interest permitted under applicable law.
2. USE OF PROCEEDS. Borrower certifies that the proceeds of this loan are to be used for
business purposes.
3. RENEWAL. This Note is issued, not as a payment toward, but as a continuation of, the
obligations of Borrower to Lender pursuant to that certain note dated January 20, 2007, in the
principal amount of $5,000,000.00 (together with all prior amendments thereto or restatements
thereof the Prior Note). Accordingly, this Note shall not be construed as a novation or
extinguishment of, the obligations arising under the Prior Note, and its issuance shall not affect
the priority of any security interest granted in connection with the Prior Note.
4. UNUSED COMMITMENT FEE may charge, and Borrower agrees to pay the following
fees at the times stated below:
On the 30th day of each May, August, November, and February of each year that Obligations (defined
herein) remain outstanding, an unused commitment fee, to be determined as follows: the average
daily amount of the Borrowing unused by Borrower for the previous three-month period as measured on
each April 30, July 31, October 31, and January 31, multiplied by 0.0035.

following:

other remedy permitted by law, Lender may at any time, without notice, apply the
Collateral to this Note or such other Obligations, whether due or not, and Lender may,
at its option, proceed to enforce and protect its rights by an action at law or in
equity or by any other appropriate proceedings; provided that this Note and the
Obligations shall be accelerated automatically and immediately if the Event of Default
is a filing under the Bankruptcy Code.
Lenders rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative, and may be exercised together, separately,
and in any order. No delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any such right or remedy shall
operate as a waiver. No single or partial exercise by Lender of any right or remedy shall preclude
any other further exercise of it or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver or

not expressed in this Note and the documents referred to herein.
13. SEVERABILITY. The declaration of invalidity of any provision of this Note shall not affect
any part of the remainder of the provisions.

obligations described in this Note without the prior written consent of Lender. Borrower agrees
that Lender may assign some or all of its rights and remedies described in this Note without notice
to, or prior consent from, the Borrower.
15. MODIFICATION; WAIVER OF LENDER. The modification or waiver of any of Borrowers
obligations or Lenders rights under this Note must be contained in a writing signed by Lender.
Lender may perform Borrowers obligations, or delay or fail to exercise any of its rights or
remedies, without causing a waiver of those obligations or rights. A waiver on one occasion shall
not constitute a waiver on another occasion. Borrowers obligations under this Note shall not be
affected if Lender amends, compromises, exchanges, fails to exercise, impairs or releases (i) any
of the obligations belonging to any co- borrower, endorser or guarantor or (ii) any of its rights
against any co- borrower, guarantor or endorser.
16. WAIVER OF BORROWER. Demand, presentment, protest and notice of dishonor, notice of protest
and notice of default are hereby waived by Borrower, and any endorser or guarantor hereof. Each of

WHEREAS, Beneficiary has agreed to extend credit and financial accommodations to Streamline
Health, Inc. fka LanVision Inc., an Ohio corporation (Borrower), pursuant to the Term Note, dated
July 30, 2004, executed by Borrower and made payable to the order of Beneficiary and the Revolving
Note, dated December 14, 2007, executed by Borrower and made payable to the order of Beneficiary
(collectively, the Notes), and all agreements, instruments and documents executed or delivered in
connection with any of the foregoing or otherwise related thereto (together with any amendments,
modifications, or restatements thereof, the Loan Documents); and
WHEREAS, Guarantor is affiliated with Borrower and, as such, shall be benefited directly by
the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents, and shall execute this Guaranty in order to
induce Beneficiary to enter into such transaction.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable
consideration, Guarantor hereby guarantees, promises and undertakes as follows:
1. GUARANTY.
(a) Guarantor hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees to
Beneficiary the full and prompt payment and performance when due (whether at maturity by
acceleration or otherwise) of any and all loans, advances, indebtedness and each and every
other obligation or liability of Borrower owed to Beneficiary and any affiliate of Fifth
Third Bancorp, however created, of every kind and description, whether now existing or
hereafter arising and whether direct or indirect, primary or as guarantor or surety,
absolute or contingent, due or to become due, liquidated or unliquidated, matured or
unmatured, participated in whole or in part, created by trust agreement, lease, overdraft,
agreement, or otherwise, whether or not secured by additional collateral, whether
originated with Beneficiary or owed to others and acquired by Beneficiary by purchase,
assignment or otherwise, and including, without limitation, all loans, advances,
indebtedness and each and every other obligation or liability arising under the Loan
Documents, letters of credit now or hereafter issued by Beneficiary or any affiliate of
Fifth Third Bancorp for the benefit of or at the request of Borrower, all obligations to
perform or forbear from performing acts, any and all Rate Management Obligations (as
defined in the Loan Documents), and all agreements, instruments and documents evidencing,
guarantying, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any of the foregoing,
together with any amendments, modifications, and restatements thereof, and all expenses and
attorneys fees incurred or other sums disbursed by Beneficiary or any affiliate of Fifth
Third Bancorp under this Guaranty or any other document, instrument or agreement related to
any of the foregoing (collectively, the Obligations).
(b) This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty of payment, and not merely of collection,
that shall remain in full force and effect until expressly terminated in writing by
Beneficiary, notwithstanding the fact that no Obligations may be outstanding from time to
time. Such termination by Beneficiary shall be applicable only to transactions having
their inception after the effective date thereof, and shall not affect the enforceability
of this Guaranty with regard to any Obligations arising out of transactions having their
inception prior to such effective date, even if such Obligations shall have been modified,
renewed, compromised, extended, otherwise amended or performed by Beneficiary subsequent to
such termination. In the absence of any termination of this Guaranty as provided above,
Guarantor agrees that Guarantors obligations hereunder shall not be deemed discharged or
satisfied until the Obligations are fully paid and performed, and no such payments or

not limited to any trustee in bankruptcy, to recover any of such payments. If any such
payments are so set aside or settled without litigation, all of which is within
Beneficiarys discretion, Guarantor shall be liable for the full amount Beneficiary is
required to repay, plus costs, interest, reasonable attorneys fees and any and all
expenses that Beneficiary paid or incurred in connection therewith. A successor of
Borrower, including Borrower in its capacity as debtor in a bankruptcy reorganization case,
shall not be considered to be a different person than Borrower; and this Guaranty shall
apply to all Obligations incurred by such successor.
(c) Guarantor agrees that Guarantor is directly and primarily liable to Beneficiary
and that the Obligations hereunder are independent of the Obligations of Borrower, or of
any other guarantor. The liability of Guarantor hereunder shall survive discharge or
compromise of any Obligation of Borrower in bankruptcy or otherwise. Beneficiary shall not
be required to prosecute or seek to enforce any remedies against Borrower or any other
party liable to Beneficiary on account of the Obligations, or to seek to enforce or resort
to any remedies with respect to any collateral granted to Beneficiary by Borrower or any
other party on account of the Obligations, as a condition to payment or performance by
Guarantor under this Guaranty.
(d) Beneficiary may, without notice or demand and without affecting its rights
hereunder, from time to time: (i) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the amount
of, the time for payment of, or other terms relating to, any or all of the Obligations, or
otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of the Loan Documents or any other document or
instrument evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the Obligations, (ii) take and
hold collateral for the payment of the Obligations guaranteed hereby, and exchange,
enforce, waive, and release any such collateral, and apply such collateral and direct the
order or manner of sale thereof as Beneficiary in its discretion may determine.
Accordingly, Guarantor hereby waives notice of any and all of the foregoing.
(e) Guarantor hereby waives all defenses, counterclaims and off-sets of any kind or
nature, whether legal or equitable, that may arise: (i) directly or indirectly from the
present or future lack of validity, binding effect or enforceability of the Loan Documents
or any other document or instrument evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the
Obligations, (ii) from Beneficiarys impairment of any collateral, including the failure to
record or perfect the Beneficiarys interest in the collateral, or (iii) by reason of any
claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by Beneficiary in the event such
election may, in any manner, impair, affect, reduce, release, destroy or extinguish any
right of contribution or reimbursement of Guarantor, or any other rights of the Guarantor
to proceed against any other guarantor, or against any other person or any collateral.
(f) Guarantor hereby waives all presentments, demands for performance or payment,
notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of
default or nonpayment, notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence,
creation, or incurring of new or additional Obligations, and all other notices or
formalities to which Guarantor may be entitled, and Guarantor hereby waives all suretyship
defenses, including but not limited to all defenses set forth in the Uniform Commercial
Code, as revised from time to time (the UCC) to the full extent such a waiver is
permitted thereby.
(g) Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives all legal and equitable rights to recover from
Borrower any sums paid by the Guarantor under the terms of this Guaranty, including without
limitation all rights of subrogation and all other rights that would result in Guarantor
being deemed a creditor of Borrower under the federal Bankruptcy Code or any other law, and
Guarantor hereby waives any right to assert in any manner against Beneficiary any claim,
defense, counterclaim and offset of any kind or nature, whether legal or equitable, that
Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against Borrower or any other party liable
to Beneficiary.

covenants as follows:

12. CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT. Guarantor authorizes any attorney of record to appear for it in
any court of record in the State of Ohio, after an Obligation becomes due and payable whether by
its terms or upon default, waive the issuance and service of process, and release all errors, and
confess a judgment against it in favor of the holder of such Obligation, for the principal amount
of such Obligation plus interest thereon, together with court costs and attorneys fees. Stay of
execution and all exemptions are hereby waived. If an Obligation is referred to an attorney for
collection, and the payment is obtained without the entry of a judgment, the obligors shall pay to
the holder of such obligation its attorneys fees. GUARANTOR AGREES THAT AN ATTORNEY WHO IS COUNSEL

ATTORNEY TAKING SUCH ACTIONS MAY BE PAID FOR THOSE SERVICES BY BENEFICIARY OR THE HOLDER OF SUCH
OBLIGATION. GUARANTOR WAIVES ANY CONFLICT OF INTEREST THAT MAY BE CREATED BECAUSE THE ATTORNEY WHO

SUCH OBLIGATION, OR BECAUSE SUCH ATTORNEY IS BEING PAID BY BENEFICIARY OR THE HOLDER OF SUCH
OBLIGATION.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Guarantor has caused this Guaranty to be executed as of the date first
above written.
