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.

“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.

(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.

(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.

All payments made pursuant to this subsection shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.9. All outstanding principal of the Revolving Loans shall be due and payable on the Revolving Loan Termination Date.

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).

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.

(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.

-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.

In any case, Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care of the Collateral if Lender takes such steps for the care and preservation of the Collateral or rights therein as Borrower reasonably requests Lender to take; provided that Lender’s omission to take any action not requested by Borrower shall not be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care.

(e) Unless otherwise expressly provided in a separate Security Document, the Collateral shall not include more than 66²/3% of any voting Equity Interests (as contemplated in Treas. Reg.

Borrower authorizes Lender to file any financing statements (and other similar filings or public records or notices relating to the perfection of Liens), fixture filings, and amendments thereto relating to the Collateral which Lender deems appropriate, in form and substance required by Lender, and to (a) describe the Collateral thereon (i) as “all personal property of the debtor,” “all assets,” or words of similar effect, if appropriate and permitted by applicable law, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law, or (ii) by specific collateral category and (b) include therein all other information which is required by Article 9 of the UCC or other applicable law with respect to the preparation or filing of a financing statement (or other similar filings or public records or notices relating to the perfection of Liens), fixture filing, or amendment.

Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Lender’s benefit. Borrower shall be liable for any and all expense incurred in connection with Lender’s exercising its rights under this Section 3.2.

To induce Lender to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans or extend credit as provided for herein, Borrower makes the following representations and warranties, all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents. Unless otherwise specified, such representations and warranties shall be deemed made as of the date hereof and as of the date of each request for a Loan or extension of credit hereunder:

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.

Any amount paid or collected by Lender as interest which would be in excess of the amount permitted by applicable law shall be deemed applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations and not to the payment of interest, but if such Obligations have been or are thereby paid in full, the excess shall be returned to the Person paying same, such application to the principal balance of the Obligations or the refunding of excess to be a complete settlement and acquittance thereof.

10.9. Powers. All powers of attorney granted to Lender are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable.

10.10. Approvals; Amendments. If this Agreement calls for Lender’s approval or consent, such approval or consent may be given or withheld in the discretion of Lender unless otherwise specified herein. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may not be modified, altered, or amended, except by an agreement in writing signed by Borrower and Lender and may not be modified in any manner adverse to a counterparty to any secured or guarantied Hedge Agreement between Borrower and Lender or any of its Affiliates without that provider’s prior written consent.

10.11. Participations and Assignments. Lender shall have the right to enter into one or more participations with other banks or financial institutions with respect to the Obligations and to assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its interest, rights, and obligations under the Loan Documents. Upon prior notice to Borrower of any such participation or assignment, Borrower shall thereafter furnish such participant or assignee with any information furnished by Borrower to Lender pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall prohibit Lender from pledging or assigning this Agreement and Lender’s rights under any of the other Loan Documents, including Collateral therefor, to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

10.12. Dealings with Multiple Borrowers. If more than one Person is a Borrower hereunder, all Obligations, representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities set forth in the Loan Documents to which such Person is a party shall be joint and several. Lender shall have the right to deal with any individual of any Borrower with regard to all matters concerning the rights and obligations of Lender hereunder and pursuant to applicable law with regard to the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents. All actions or inactions of the officers, managers, members, or agents of any Borrower with regard to the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents shall be deemed with full authority and binding upon all Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby appoints each other Borrower as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full right and power, for purposes of exercising all rights of such Person hereunder and under applicable law with regard to the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 10.12 and Lender’s reliance thereon are material inducements to the agreement of Lender to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

10.13. Waiver of Certain Defenses. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, neither Borrower nor anyone claiming by or under Borrower will claim or seek to take advantage of any law requiring Lender to attempt to realize upon any Collateral or collateral of any Guarantor, or any appraisement, evaluation, stay, extension, homestead, redemption, or exemption laws now or hereafter in force to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this Agreement. Borrower, for itself and all who may at

-41-

any time claim through or under Borrower, hereby expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law the benefit of all such laws. 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.

10.15. Integration; Final Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with all other instruments, agreements, and certificates executed by the parties in connection therewith or with reference thereto, embody the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto and thereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and inducements, whether express or implied, oral or written. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.

10.16. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY; WAIVER OF PUNITIVE DAMAGES. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO, INCLUDING LENDER BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES THAT, IN ANY JUDICIAL, MEDIATION, OR ARBITRATION PROCEEDING OR ANY CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM (A “DISPUTE”) THAT MAY ARISE OUT OF OR BE IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OR DOCUMENT BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM OR THE OBLIGATIONS EVIDENCED HEREBY OR RELATED HERETO, IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY HAVE A REMEDY OF, OR BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR, (a) INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR (b) PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT OR CLAIM TO PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES THEY MAY HAVE OR WHICH MAY ARISE IN THE FUTURE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE DISPUTE IS RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION, MEDIATION, JUDICIALLY, OR OTHERWISE.

10.17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF BORROWER BY EXECUTION HEREOF AND LENDER BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT EACH MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY WITH RESPECT HERETO. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO LENDER TO ENTER INTO AND ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES AGREES THAT THE TERMS HEREOF SHALL SUPERSEDE AND REPLACE ANY PRIOR AGREEMENT RELATED TO ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES BETWEEN THE PARTIES CONTAINED IN ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT HERETOFORE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH, RELATED TO OR BEING REPLACED, SUPPLEMENTED, EXTENDED OR MODIFIED BY, THIS AGREEMENT.

10.18. Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue.

(a) Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be brought in the courts of the State of Georgia in ▇▇▇▇ County or the State of Alabama in Jefferson County or of the United States for the Northern District of Georgia or the Northern District of Alabama, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts, and agrees to be bound by the other provisions set forth in this Section 10.18. Borrower further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by

-42-

registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to it at the address set out for notices pursuant to Section 10.4. Nothing herein shall affect the right of Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or to otherwise proceed against Borrower or any other Credit Party in any other jurisdiction.

(b) Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document brought in the courts referred to in subsection (a) above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

10.19. Credit Inquiries. Borrower hereby authorizes and permits Lender, at its discretion and without any obligation to do so, to respond to credit inquiries from third parties concerning Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

10.20. Information. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Lender from disclosing confidential information provided by any Credit Party from time to time (a) to any of Lender’s Affiliates, or any of Lender’s or any of its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, agents, or advisors, (b) to any other Person if reasonably incidental to the administration of the agreements made herein, (c) as required by any law, rule, or regulation, (d) upon the order, request or demand of any Governmental Entity; provided, however, that, to the extent permitted by law, Lender shall provide prior written notice to the affected Credit Party of any such request or demand, (e) that is or becomes available to the public or that is or becomes available to Lender other than as a result of a disclosure by Lender prohibited by this Agreement, (f) in connection with any litigation to which Lender or any of its Affiliates may be a party, whether to defend itself, reduce its liability, protect or exercise any of its claims, rights, remedies or interests under or in connection with the Loan Documents or any Hedge Agreements, or otherwise, (g) to the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedy under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (h) to any actual or proposed participant or assignee; such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications.

SCHEDULE 5.4

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 ▇▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ was employed by DeVenture through December 31, 2008. On January 1, 2009, as part of the acquisition of DeVenture, ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ became a Transcend employee. ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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. ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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 ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ 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.
