W I T N E S S E T H :

In consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants herein contained and to induce Lender to extend credit to Borrower, the parties agree as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS; RELATED TERMS.

1.1. Certain UCC Terms. Any term used in this Agreement or in any financing statement filed in connection herewith which is defined in the UCC and not otherwise defined in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall have the meaning given to the term in the UCC, including, without limitation, Accession, Account Debtor, Chattel Paper, Account, Commercial Tort Claim, Deposit Account, Document, Electronic Chattel Paper, Equipment, Fixture, Instrument, Inventory, Investment Property, Letter-of-Credit Right, Proceeds, Supporting Obligation, and Tangible Chattel Paper.

1.2. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in this Section 1.2. Certain terms relating to financial covenants are set forth in Section 8.

“Accounts Payable Report” has the meaning given such term in Section 6.6(a).

“Accounts Receivable Report” has the meaning given such term in Section 6.6(a).

“Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, (a) any other Person directly or indirectly owning 5% or more of the Equity Interests of such Person or of which such Person owns 5% or more of such Equity Interests; (b) any other Person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with such Person; (c) any officer, director, or employee of such Person or any Affiliate of such Person; and (d) any family member or Affiliate of such Person.

“Applicable Margin” means an amount determined as follows:

(a) For the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on (and including) December 31, 2009, as to (i) any Revolving Loan, or portion thereof, that is a LIR Loan, 2.75%; and (ii) any portion of the Term Loan that is a LIR Loan, 2.50%.

(b) Thereafter, an amount determined from time to time on each Determination Date (as defined below and commencing with the first Determination Date occurring after December 31, 2009) by reference to the following table and corresponding to the Leverage Ratio for the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter:


		Type of Loan
	Leverage Ratio	For any Revolving Loan that is a LIR Loan	For any portion of the Term Loan that is a LIR Loan
Level I	Less than 1.00 to 1.00	2.50%	2.25%

Level II	Greater than or equal to 1.00 to 1.00, but less than 1.25 to 1.00	2.75%	2.50%

Level III	Greater than or equal to 1.25 to 1.00	3.00%	2.75%

(c) If any Loans are converted to Base Rate Loans because of Section 2.3(g), then the Applicable Margin for such Base Rate Loans shall be 0.50% for Revolving Loans and 0.50% for Term Loans

The Applicable Margin shall be subject to reduction or increase, as applicable and as set forth in the table above, on a quarterly basis as of each Determination Date (as defined below), according to the performance of the Borrower as measured by the Leverage Ratio as determined in the manner provided in Section 8 and reported in accordance with Section 6.6(d). Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, any increase or reduction in the Applicable Margin provided for herein shall be effective on each Determination Date. Without limiting Lender’s rights to invoke the Default Rate, if (i) the financial statements and the compliance certificate of the Borrower setting forth the Leverage Ratio are not received by Lender within 5 days after the date required pursuant to Section 6.6(b) and (d), as applicable, or (ii) an Event of Default occurs and Lender so elects, then, in each case, the Applicable Margin shall be at Level I until such time as such financial statements and compliance certificate are received and any Event of Default (whether resulting from a failure to timely deliver such financial statements or compliance certificate or otherwise) is waived in writing by Lender. As used herein, “Determination Date” means the first day of the first calendar month after the date on which Borrower provides the quarterly compliance certificate and financial statements under Section 6.6(b) and (d), as applicable, for March, June, September, and December of each year.

In the event that any financial statement or certificate required by Section 6.6(b), (c), or (d) is shown to be inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitment is in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) Borrower shall immediately deliver to Lender a correct certificate for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period shall be determined by reference to such certificate, and (iii) Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, ON DEMAND, the accrued additional interest owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by Lender in accordance with the terms hereof.

If for any reason Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that it is unable, after due inquiry, to ascertain the Federal Funds Rate for any reason, including the inability or failure of Lender to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms hereof, the Base Rate shall be determined without regard to clause (a) of the first sentence of this definition until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist. Any change in the Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Rate shall be effective on the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Rate, respectively.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make Revolving Loans to Borrower and issue Letters of Credit on Borrower’s account from time to time during the Term. Lender shall have no obligation to make any Revolving Loan or issue any Letter of Credit if doing so would, after giving effect thereto, cause the Working Capital Obligations to exceed the lesser of (i) the Revolving Loan Commitment and (ii) the Borrowing Base. Within the foregoing limit and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may borrow, repay, and reborrow the principal amount of the Revolving Loans at any time during the Revolving Loan Term. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Revolving Loans only for its working capital and general corporate purposes and for Permitted Acquisitions.

(b) Term Loan Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make a Term Loan to Borrower in the principal amount not to exceed $7,000,000. Lender shall fund the Term Loan in a single draw on the Closing Date. The Term Loan Commitment shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Term Loan. Borrower may not reborrow any repaid principal of the Term Loan. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Term Loan only to fund the costs and expenses of and, to the extent necessary, a portion of the cash purchase price for the MDS Acquisition and for no other purpose.

(c) Increase of Revolving Loan Commitment. During the period from the Closing Date through the Revolving Loan Termination Date, the Revolving Loan Commitment may, if requested by Borrower and approved by Lender in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, be increased by $3,000,000 (the “Revolving Loan Commitment Increase”) to $8,000,000, provided that: (a) Borrower’s request for such increase must be in writing; (b) Borrower must execute a new Revolving Note reflecting the increase in the Revolving Loan Commitment and any additional documents, instruments or agreements Lender deems necessary in connection therewith, including any amendments to the other Loan Documents that Lender deems necessary; and (c) no Event of Default exists as of the date of such request for the Revolving Loan Commitment Increase or as of the date on which such Revolving Loan Commitment Increase is to occur.

2.2. The Notes.

(c) Interest Rate. All LIR Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) 3.75% and (ii) the sum of the LIBOR Index Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

-13-

(d) All interest on any Loan and on all other Obligations shall be calculated on the presumed basis of a year of 360 days, for the actual number of days elapsed.

(f) Default Rate. At Lender’s option, during the existence of any Event of Default, the principal amount of all Obligations (other than Obligations arising under Hedge Agreements between Borrower and Lender or any of its Affiliates) shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In any event, the Default Rate shall automatically and without notice to any Person apply from the time the Obligations have become due and payable under Section 9.2 (whether because of Lender’s exercising its right to accelerate the Obligations under Section 9.2 or because the Obligations have automatically become due and payable under Section 9.2) until the Obligations or any judgment thereon are paid in full.

Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if Lender should at any time determine that (i) it is not reasonably possible to determine the LIBOR Index Rate, (ii) that the LIBOR Index Rate is no longer available, (iii) it is no longer lawful for Lender to make Loans at any rate based on the LIBOR Index Rate, or (iv) a Default or Event of Default exists and Lender shall so elect, then, in each case, (A) all affected LIR Loans shall automatically and without notice be converted into Base Rate Loans and (B) all obligations of Lender to make LIR Loans shall cease until such time as Lender shall have determined that it is able to determine the LIBOR Index Rate, such illegality shall be reversed, or such Event of Default shall have been waived or cured, as applicable.

(h) Opening LIBOR Index Rate. The LIBOR Index Rate on the date hereof is 0.26125% per annum and, therefore, the rate of interest in effect hereunder on the date hereof, expressed in simple interest terms (but on a 360-day basis), is, subject to Section 2.3(c), (i) 3.01125% per annum with respect to any portion of the Revolving Loans bearing interest as a LIR Loan; and (ii) 2.76125% per annum with respect to any portion of the Term Loan bearing interest as a LIR Loan.

(i) Borrower shall repay the principal amount of the Term Loan in consecutive monthly installments, each in an amount equal to $155,555.55 and each due and payable on the first day of each calendar month, commencing on December 1, 2009.

From time to time, Borrower may prepay the principal amount of the Term Loan, in whole or in part, on one Business Days’ written notice for prepayment of that portion of the Term Loan which constitutes a Base Rate Loan or a LIR Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and must be in writing or made telephonically promptly followed by a confirming writing. Each prepayment of any portion of the Term Loan which constitutes a Base Rate or LIR Loan shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000. Lender shall apply each prepayment on the Term Loan first to accrued but unpaid interest thereon and then to installments of principal in the inverse order of their maturities. That portion of any prepayment to be applied to principal shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans, then to LIR Loans.

(e) Mandatory Prepayments of Term Loan. Borrower shall prepay the principal balance of the Term Loan promptly upon receipt of, and in an amount equal to, the Net Proceeds in excess of $100,000 received with respect to any real property or Equipment, except to the extent otherwise permitted under Section 6.3(b) or Section 7.13(d). Nothing in this subsection constitutes Lender’s consent to any disposition of any Equipment or real property.

Lender may, without notice to, or the consent of, Borrower, debit the Operating Account and apply such amounts to the payment of Obligations which are then due and payable. If at any time there are insufficient funds in the Operating Account to cover all or any portion of Obligations which are due and payable, Lender shall have the right at such time, without notice to, or the consent of, Borrower to (i) make a deemed Revolving Loan under Section 2.4(a), (ii) debit any Funding Account, Collections Account, other Deposit Account, or other account over which Lender has Control and apply such amounts to the payment of Obligations which are then due and payable, or (iii) both.

If any payment of any Obligations shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be due and payable the next Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such time.

(c) Excess Over Borrowing Base. At any time the Working Capital Obligations exceed the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall immediately pay the amount of such excess to Lender.

(d) Hedge Agreements Are Independent. Prepayment of any Loans shall not affect Borrower’s obligation to continue making payments under any Hedge Agreement between Borrower and Lender or any of its Affiliates, which shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such prepayment, subject to the terms of such Hedge Agreement.

-16-

(e) Capital Requirements; Increased Costs. If (i) the introduction of, or any change in, or in the interpretation of, any applicable law or (ii) compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or comparable agency or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of, or has affected or would affect the amount of capital required to be maintained by Lender or any Person controlling Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, the Revolving Loan Commitment, the Term Loan Commitment, and other commitments of this type, below the rate which Lender or such other Person could have achieved but for such introduction, change, or compliance, then within 5 Business Days after Lender’s written demand therefor, Borrower shall pay Lender from time to time as specified by Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate Lender or such other Person for such reduction. Lender’s accounting of such amounts submitted in writing to Borrower shall be presumed conclusive absent manifest error. If there is any change in the LIBOR Reserve Requirements, then Borrower shall, from time to time upon demand by Lender, pay to Lender such additional amounts as Lender may deem necessary to compensate Lender for any increased costs resulting from such change. Borrower agrees that Lender’s determination of such additional amounts and increased costs will be made in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(a) Establishment of Lockboxes. Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, Borrower shall (i) promptly establish and thereafter maintain one or more lockboxes under Lender’s control and (ii) contemporaneously therewith, direct all of its Account Debtors to make payments to such lockboxes (or, if made by wire or other transfer, to a Collections Account).

All such Items and funds shall be the exclusive property of Lender upon the earlier of the receipt thereof by Lender or by Borrower. Lender shall promptly process all Items received pursuant to this Section 2.9(b) into each lockbox and deposit such Items into a Collections Account. Subject to Section 2.9(c), Lender shall apply available balances from any Item or funds deposited into a Collections Account pursuant to this Section 2.9(b) to the payment of Obligations in whatever order Lender shall determine.

(c) Chargebacks. No payment item received by Lender shall constitute payment to Lender until such item is actually collected by Lender and credited to the Collections Account; provided, however, that Lender shall have the right to charge back to the Collections Account (or any other account of Borrower maintained with Lender) an Item which is returned for inability to collect, plus accrued interest during the period of Lender’s provisional credit for such item prior to receiving notice of dishonor.

(d) Power of Attorney; Security Interest; Applicable Fees. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender (and any Person designated by Lender) as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact to indorse Borrower’s name on any Items which come into Lender’s possession or control, this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable so long as any of the Obligations remain outstanding. Such indorsement by Lender under such power of attorney shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have been made by Borrower (prior to any subsequent indorsement by Lender) in negotiation of the Item.

Other than as disclosed in financial statements delivered to Lender on or before the Closing Date or on Schedule 5.3, attached hereto and made a part hereof, none of Borrower, any Subsidiary, or (to the knowledge of Borrower) any Guarantor has any material direct or contingent obligations or liabilities or any material unrealized or anticipated losses from any commitments of such Person. As of the Closing Date, all material operating and capital leases under which Borrower, any Subsidiary, or (to the knowledge of Borrower) any Guarantor is lessee are disclosed in the financial statements delivered to Lender on or before the Closing Date or on Schedule 5.3. All financial statements from time to time delivered to Lender by Borrower shall have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and fairly present the financial condition of such Person as of the date thereof.

5.5. Agreements, Etc. Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any order or decree of any Governmental Entity or any charter or other corporate restriction, materially adversely affecting its business, assets, operations, or condition (financial or otherwise), nor is any such Person in default in the performance, observance, or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants, or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party, or any law, regulation, decree, order, or the like to which it is subject.

Except as noted herein, no approval, consent or authorization of, or filing or registration with, any governmental commission, bureau or other regulatory authority or agency is required with respect to the execution, delivery or performance of any Loan Document.

All rights of Lender and all obligations of Borrower hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any change in the time, manner, or place of payment of, or any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any provision of the Loan Documents, (b) any exchange, release, or non-perfection of any other collateral given as security for the Obligations, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty for all or any of the Obligations, or (c) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower or any third party, other than payment and performance in full of the Obligations.

10.14. Additional Provisions. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. No provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any Governmental Entity by reason of such party having or being deemed to have structured, drafted or dictated such provision.

PENDING AND THREATENED LITIGATION

Transcend Services, Inc., Plaintiff vs. Farnam Street Financial, Inc., Defendant in THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA ATLANTA DIVISION. This case pertains to three leases entered into between Transcend and Defendant for computer and other equipment in 2005 and 0000. Xxxxxx Xxxxxx maintains that only lease schedule #1 contains a fair market value buyout provision. Transcend disagrees. In addition, Farnam Street automatically renewed the leases against Transcend’s wishes when Transcend was attempting in good faith to negotiate lease buyouts. Transcend simply wants to negotiate a reasonable buyout quote as of the end of the original lease terms. A disposition of this dispute adverse to Transcend would be immaterial.

Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx was employed by DeVenture through December 31, 2008. On January 1, 2009, as part of the acquisition of DeVenture, Xx. Xxxxxx became a Transcend employee. Xx. Xxxxxx filed a discrimination claim with the Ohio Civil Rights Commission against DeVenture on November 30, 2007. DeVenture has indemnified Transcend in regards to this claim. Xx. Xxxxxx filed two additional claims with the Ohio Civil rights Commission against Transcend on January 30, 2009 and April 14, 2009. The claims allege retaliation by Transcend related to Xx. Xxxxxx’x prior claim, specifically that Transcend restricted her from working on her primary account. The most recent claim also alleges racial discrimination. Transcend denies all charges and has responded in a timely manner to the Commission’s requests for information. Management expects the outcome to be immaterial to Transcend.
