Gentlemen:



The undersigned, Susan McGrogan, (hereinafter referred to as
Creditor) is a creditor of Transcend Services, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (hereinafter referred to as Borrower) and desires that Bank of America, N.A., a national banking association (hereinafter referred to as
Bank) continue to extend or extend such financial accommodations to Borrower as Borrower may request and as Bank may deem proper. At the present time Borrower is indebted to Creditor in the principal sum of $3,500,000.00 plus accrued
interest, if any, thereon. For the purpose of inducing Bank to grant, continue or renew such financial accommodations, and in consideration thereof, Creditor agrees as follows:



1. Any and all claims of Creditor against Borrower, now or hereafter existing, are, and shall be at all times, subject and
subordinate to any and all claims, now or hereafter existing which Bank may have against Borrower (including any claim by Bank for interest accruing after any assignment for the benefit of creditors by Borrower or the institution by or against
Borrower of any proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code, or any claim by Bank for any such interest which would have accrued in the absence of such assignment or the institution of such proceedings).



2. Creditor agrees not to sue upon, or to collect, or to receive payment of
the principal or interest of any claim or claims now or hereafter existing which Creditor may hold against Borrower, and not to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, or encumber such claim or claims except subject expressly to this Agreement,
and not to enforce or apply any security now or hereafter existing therefor, nor to file or join in any petition to commence any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, nor to take any lien or security on any of Borrowers property, real or
personal, so long as any claim of Bank against Borrower shall exist.



3. In case of any assignment for the benefit of creditors by Borrower or in case any proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code are instituted by or against Borrower, or in case of the appointment of any receiver for Borrowers business or
assets, or in case of any dissolution or winding up of the affairs of Borrower; (a) Borrower and any assignee, trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession or other person or persons in charge are hereby directed to pay to Bank the full
amount of Banks claims against Borrower (including interest to the date of payment) before making any payment of principal or interest to Creditor, and insofar as may be necessary for that purpose, Creditor hereby assigns and transfers to Bank
all security or the proceeds thereof, and all rights to any payments, dividends or other distributions, and (b) Creditor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Bank its true and lawful attorney to act in its name and stead: (i) to file the
appropriate claim or claims on behalf of Creditor if Creditor does not do so prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file claims in such proceeding and if Bank elects at its sole discretion to file such claim or claims and (ii) to
accept or reject any plan of reorganization or arrangement on behalf of Creditor, and to otherwise vote Creditors claim in respect of any indebtedness now or hereafter owing from Borrower to Creditor in any manner Bank deems appropriate for
its own benefit and protection.



4. Bank is hereby authorized
by Creditor to: (a) renew, compromise, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time of payment, or any other terms, of any existing or future claim of Bank against Borrower, (b) increase or decrease the rate of interest payable thereon or any
part thereof, (c) exchange, enforce, waive or release any security therefor, (d) apply such security and direct the order or

manner of sale thereof in such manner as Bank may at its discretion determine, (e) release Borrower or any guarantor of
any indebtedness of Borrower from liability, and (f) make optional future advances to Borrower, all without notice to Creditor and without affecting the subordination provided by this Agreement.



5. On request of Bank, Creditor shall deliver to Bank the original of any
promissory note or other evidence of any existing or future indebtedness of Borrower to Creditor, and mark same with a conspicuous legend which reads substantially as follows:



THIS PROMISSORY NOTE IS SUBORDINATED TO ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE INDEBTEDNESS OWING FROM THE MAKER TO
BANK OF AMERICA, N.A. AND ITS ASSIGNS, AND MAY BE ENFORCED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THAT CERTAIN SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT DATED  BETWEEN
 AND BANK OF AMERICA, N.A.



6. In the event that any payment or any cash or noncash distribution is made to Creditor in violation of the terms of this Agreement, Creditor shall
receive same in trust for the benefit of Bank, and shall forthwith remit it to Bank in the form in which it was received, together with such endorsements or documents as may be necessary to effectively negotiate or transfer same to Bank.



7. Until all such claims of Bank against Borrower, now or hereafter
existing, shall be paid in full, no gift or loan shall be made by Borrower to Creditor.



8. For violation of this Agreement, Creditor shall be liable for all loss and damage sustained by reason of such breach, and upon any such violation Bank may, at its option, accelerate the maturity of any of its
existing or future claims against Borrower.



9. This Agreement
shall be binding upon the heirs, successors and assigns of Creditor, Borrower and Bank. This Agreement and any existing or future claim of Bank against Borrower may be assigned by Bank, in whole or in part, without notice to Creditor or Borrower.



10. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 2, so long as
there has been no occurrence of any default under any agreement between Borrower and Bank, now existing or hereafter entered into, Creditor may receive regularly scheduled principal and interest payments on the presently existing indebtedness of
Borrower to Creditor, provided, however, that Creditor shall not receive any prepayment of principal or interest on said indebtedness without the prior written consent of Bank.



Susan McGrogan/s/ Susan McGroganCreditor

|------------------------------- |  | ------------------------------
|Principal Amount: $1,500,000.00 |  | Date of Note: January 31, 2005



PROMISE TO PAY. Transcend Services,
Inc. (Borrower) promises to pay to Bank of America, N.A. (Lender), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand & 00/100 Dollars ($1,500,000.00) or
so much as may be outstanding, together with interest on the unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance. Interest shall be calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each advance.



PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding principal plus all
accrued unpaid interest on April 30, 2006. In addition, Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment date, beginning February 28, 2005, with all subsequent interest payments to be due on the last
day of each month after that. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; then to any late charges; and then to any unpaid collection costs. The annual
interest rate for this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal
balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay Lender at Lenders address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing.



VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an index which is the rate of interest publicly
announced from time to time by the Lender as its Prime Rate. The Prime Rate is set by the Lender based on various factors, including the Lenders costs and desired return, general economic conditions and other factors, and is used as a
reference point for pricing some loans. The Lender may price loans to its customers at, above, or below the Prime Rate. Any change in the Prime Rate shall take effect at the opening of business on the day specified in the public announcement of a
change in the Lenders Prime Rate (the Index). The index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans and is set by Lender in its sole discretion. If the index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan,
Lender may designate a substitute index after notifying Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current index rate upon Borrowers request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each date of such change in the index. Borrower
understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid principal balance of this Note will be at a rate equal to the Index. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this
Note be more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.



PREPAYMENT. Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrowers obligation to continue to
make payments of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked paid in full, without recourse, or similar language. If Borrower sends
such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lenders rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or
other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes payment in full of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to:
Bank of America, N.A., FL9-100-03-15, P.O. Box 45247 Jacksonville, FL 32203-0329.



LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 15 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 4.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularlyscheduled payment, regardless of any partial payments Lender has received.



INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity,
Lender, at its option, may, if permitted under applicable law, increase the variable interest rate on this Note to 6.000 percentage points over the Index. The interest rate will not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.



DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default (Event of
Default) under this Note:



Payment Default.
Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this Note.



Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Note or in any of the related documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or
condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.



Default in Favor of Third Parties. Borrower or any Grantor defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor
or person that may materially affect any of Borrowers property or Borrowers ability to repay this Note or perform Borrowers obligations under this Note or any of the related documents.



False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or
furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrowers behalf under this Note or the related documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.



Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of
Borrowers existence as a going business, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrowers property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any
proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower.



Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any
governmental agency against any collateral securing the loan. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrowers accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by
Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety
bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.



Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any guarantor, endorser, surety, or
accommodation party of any of the indebtedness or any guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any guaranty of the indebtedness evidenced by this
Note.

|Loan No: 3892414-307/315 |  | PROMISSORY NOTE (Continued) |  | Page 2



Change In
Ownership. Any change in ownership of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the common stock of Borrower.



Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Borrowers financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance
of this Note is impaired.



Insecurity. Lender in good
faith believes itself insecure.



LENDERS RIGHTS. Upon default,
Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance on this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, and then Borrower will pay that amount.



ATTORNEYS FEES; EXPENSES. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect this Note if Borrower does not pay. Borrower will pay Lender that amount. This
includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lenders costs of collection, including court costs and fifteen percent (15%) of the principal plus accrued interest as attorneys fees, if any sums owing under this Note are collected
by or through an attorney at law, whether or not there is a lawsuit, and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), and appeals. If not prohibited by applicable law, Borrower
also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.



GOVERNING LAW. This Note will be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with federal law and the laws of the State of Georgia. This Note has been accepted by Lender in the State of Georgia.



CHOICE OF VENUE. If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lenders request to
submit to the Jurisdiction of the courts of any County, State of Georgia.



RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law. Lender reserves a right of setoff in all Borrowers accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Borrower holds
jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future. However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the debt against any and all such accounts.



LINE OF CREDIT. This Note evidences a revolving line of credit. Advances under this Note, as well as directions for payment from Borrowers accounts, may be requested orally or in writing by Borrower or by
an authorized person. Lender may, but need not, require that all oral requests be confirmed in writing. Borrower agrees to be liable for all sums either: (A) advanced in accordance with the instructions of an authorized person or (B) credited to any
of Borrowers accounts with Lender. The unpaid principal balance owing on this Note at any time may be evidenced by endorsements on this Note or by Lenders internal records, including daily computer print-outs. Lender will have no
obligation to advance funds under this Note if: (A) Borrower or any guarantor is in default under the terms of this Note or any agreement that Borrower or any guarantor has with Lender, including any agreement made in connection with the signing of
this Note; (B) Borrower or any guarantor ceases doing business or is insolvent; (C) any guarantor seeks, claims or otherwise attempts to limit, modify or revoke such guarantors guarantee of this Note or any other loan with Lender; (D) Borrower
has applied funds provided pursuant to this Note for purposes other than those authorized by Lender; or (E) Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.



ARBITRATION.(a) This paragraph concerns the resolution of any controversies or claims between the parties, whether arising in contract, tort or by statute,
including but not limited to controversies of claims that arise out of or relate to: (i) this agreement (including any renewals, extensions or modifications); or (ii) any document related to this agreement (collectively a Claim). For the
purposes of this arbitration provision only, the term parties shall include any parent corporation, subsidiary or affiliate of the Bank involved in the servicing, management or administration of any obligation described or evidenced by
this agreement.



(b) At the request of any party to this agreement, any Claim
shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9. U. S. Code) (the Act). The Act will apply even though this agreement provides that it is governed by the law of a specified state.



(c) Arbitration proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Act, the
applicable rules and procedures for the arbitration of disputes of JAMS or any successor thereof (JAMS), and the terms of this paragraph. In the event of any inconsistency, the terms of this paragraph shall control.



(d) The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS and conducted, unless otherwise required by
law, in any U.S. state where real or tangible personal property collateral for this credit is located or if there is no such collateral, in the state specified in the governing law section of this agreement. All Claims shall be determined by one
arbitrator; however, if Claims exceed $5,000,000, upon the request of any party, the Claims shall be decided by three arbitrators. All arbitration hearings shall commence within 90 days of the demand for arbitration and close within 90 days of
commencement and the award of the arbitrator(s) shall be issued within 30 days of the close of the hearing. However, the arbitrator(s), upon a showing of good cause, may extend the commencement of the hearing for up to an additional 60 days. The
arbitrator(s) shall provide a concise written statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration award may be submitted to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed, judgment entered and enforced.



(e) The arbitrator(s) will have the authority to decide whether any Claim is barred by the
statute of limitations and, if so, to dismiss the arbitration on that basis. For purposes of the application of the statute of limitations, the service on JAMS under applicable JAMS rules of a notice of Claim is the equivalent of the filing of a
lawsuit. Any dispute concerning this arbitration provision or whether a Claim is arbitratable shall be determined by the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award legal fees pursuant to the terms of this agreement.



(f) This paragraph does nor limit the right of any party to: (i) exercise self-help
remedies, such as but not limited to, setoff; (ii) initiate judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure against any real or personal property collateral; (iii) exercise any judicial or power of sale rights, or (iv) act in a court of law to obtain an interim
remedy, such as but not limited to, injunctive relief, writ of possession or appointment of a receiver, or additional or supplementary remedies.



(g) The filing of a court action is not intended to constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the suing party, thereafter to require submittal of the Claim
to arbitration.



ADDITIONAL DEFAULTS.



Each of the following shall constitute an additional event of default (Event of
Default) under this Note:



Event of Default Under Related
Documents. A default or additional event of default occurs under the terms of any promissory note, guaranty, pledge agreement, security agreement or other agreement or instrument executed by Borrower or any guarantor, pledgor, accommodation
party or other obligor in connection with or relating to this Note.



Judgment. The entry of a judgment against any Borrower or guarantor, pledgor, accommodation party or other obligor which Lender deems to be of a material nature, in Lenders sole discretion.



ASSIGNMENT. Lender may sell or offer to sell this Note, together with any and all
documents guaranteeing, securing or executed in connection

with this Note, to one or more
assignees without notice to or consent of Borrower. Lender is hereby authorized to share any information it has pertaining to the loan evidenced by this Note, including without limitation credit information on the undersigned, any of its principals,
or any guarantors of this Note, to any such assignee or prospective assignee.



COUNTERPARTS. This Note may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.



PRE BILLING. If the Borrower and Lender elect to use pre-billing calculation, for each
payment date (the Due Date) the amount of each payment debit will be determined as follows: On the Billing Date Lender will prepare and mail to Borrower an invoice of the amounts that will be due on that Due Date
(Billed Amount). (The Billing Date will be a date that is a specified number of calendar days prior to the Due Date, which number of days will be mutually agreed from time to time by Lender and Borrower.) The calculation of
the Billed Amount will be made on the assumption that no new extensions of credit or payments will be made between the Billing Date and the Due Date, and that there will be no changes in the applicable interest rate. On the Due Date Lender will
debit the Designated Account for the Billed Amount, regardless of the actual amount due on that date (Accrued Amount). If the Due Date does not fall on a Business Day, Lender shall debit the Designated Account on the first Business Day
following the Due Date. For purposes of this Agreement, Business Day means a day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are authorized to close or are in fact closed in the state where the Lenders
lending office is located. If the Billed Amount debited to the Designated Account differs from the Accrued Amount, the difference will be treated as follows: If the Billed Amount is less than the Accrued Amount, the Billed Amount for the following
Due Date will be increased by the amount of the underpayment. Borrower will not be in default by reason of any such underpayment. If the Billed Amount is more than the Accrued Amount, the Billed Amount for the following Due Date will be decreased by
the amount of the overpayment. Regardless of any such difference, interest will continue to accrue based on the actual amount of principal outstanding without compounding. Lender will not pay interest on any overpayment.



AUTOMATIC PAYMENTS. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender automatically to deduct from
Borrowers account numbered 3279435327 the amount of any loan payment. If the funds in the account are insufficient to cover any payment, Lender shall not be obligated to advance funds to cover the payment. At any time and for any reason,
Borrower or Lender may voluntarily terminate Automatic Payments.



TERMINATION OF AUTOMATIC PAYMENTS. In the event that Borrower terminates the Automatic Payment arrangement with Lender, Borrower agrees that the interest rate under the Note will increase, at the discretion of the Lender, by one-half
percentage point (0.50%) per annum over the rate of interest stated in the Note, and the amount of each interest installment will be increased accordingly. The effective rate of interest under the Note shall not in any event exceed the maximum rate
permitted by law.



OPTIONAL RENEWAL CLAUSE. This Note will be considered
renewed if and only if Lender has sent to Borrower a written notice of renewal (the Renewal Notice) effective as of the Expiration Date. If this Note is renewed, it will continue to be subject to all the terms and conditions set forth
herein except as modified by the Renewal Notice. If this Note is renewed, the term Expiration Date shall mean the date set forth in the Renewal Notice as the Expiration Date, and all outstanding principal plus all accrued interest shall
be paid on the Expiration Date. The same process for renewal will apply to any subsequent renewal of this Note. A renewal fee may be charged at Lenders option. The amount of the renewal fee will be specified in the Renewal Notice.



ADVANCES UNDER THE LINE OF CREDIT. Except as otherwise provided in this Note,
advances under the line of credit provided under this Note will be available until the earlier of any event of default under this Note, or April 30, 2006 (the Expiration Date). Borrower may borrow, repay and re-borrow under this Note at
any time until the Expiration Date. The total principal amount outstanding under this Note at any one time must not exceed the principal amount of this Note, provided that the amount advanced hereunder does not exceed any borrowing base or other
limitation on borrowings by Borrower.

Agreement, Lender may, at its option, charge a late fee to the defaulting party in an amount set by Lender. The imposition and payment of a late fee shall not constitute a waiver of Lenders rights with respect to the default.
