THIS WARRANT AMENDMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of February 10, 2010, is entered into by and among Wizzard Software Corporation, a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (the “Holder”).  Defined terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated June 29, 2007 (the “Purchase Agreement”), among the Company, the Holder and the other investors signatory thereto,  the Company issued the investors thereunder shares of Series A 7% Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants exercisable for shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”);

WHEREAS, the Holder currently holds a Warrant to purchase 609,576 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $2.85 per share (the “Warrant Shares”);

WHEREAS, there is currently an effective registration statement with respect to Warrant Shares (SEC File No. 333-144886);

WHEREAS, the Holder’s Warrant presently provides for cashless exercise only in the event that there is no effective registration statement registering the Holder’s resale of the Warrant Shares;

WHEREAS, the Company and the Holder wish to amend the terms of the Warrant held by the Holder to provide for the cashless exercise of the Warrant notwithstanding the above-referenced effective registration statement such that the Holder will be entitled to receive 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock upon full exercise of its Warrant;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Holder hereby agree as follows:

1.

Amendment and Immediate Cashless Exercise of Warrant.  The parties hereby agree:  (i) pursuant to Section 5(l) of the Warrant, to amend Section 2(c) of the Warrant to add the following sentence at the end thereof: “In addition, the Holder may exercise this Warrant on a cashless basis pursuant to the terms of that certain Warrant  Amendment Agreement, dated February 10, 2010, between the Holder and the Company, such that this Warrant may be exercised in full for 50,000 Warrant Shares of the Company’s common stock”; and (ii) to allow an immediate cashless exercise of the Warrant pursuant to the amended Section 2(c) such that the Company shall issue to the Holder, for no cash or other consideration, 50,000 Warrant Shares.  Such Warrant Shares shall be issued without any legends or restrictions, electronically, pursuant to the DTC instructions included on the Holder’s signature page hereto, within 3 Trading Days from the date hereof.  The Holder acknowledges and agrees that upon the issuance of the 50,000 Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section, the original certificate evidencing its Warrants will be deemed cancelled and the Holder will not be entitled to receive any additional Warrant Shares under its Warrant.
