Trade Name License Agreement

This Trade Name License Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of November 23,
2010 (the “Effective Date”), by and between MedQuist Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“Licensor”),
and CBaySystems Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Licensee”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Licensor is a majority-owned subsidiary of Licensee;

WHEREAS, Licensee acknowledges that Licensor is the owner of the trade name MedQuist (the “Name”)
used to identify Licensor’s corporate entity and certain of its products and services;

WHEREAS, Licensee desires to use the Name to identify Licensee’s corporate entity in connection
with Licensee becoming a publicly-traded company in the United States, to identify the corporate
entities which are subsidiaries of Licensee and to identify products and services of Licensee and
its subsidiaries other than Licensor; and

WHEREAS, Licensor and Licensee believe that such use of the Name by Licensee will be of mutual
benefit.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Agreement,
and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as follows:

1. Grant of License. Licensor hereby grants to Licensee and Licensee hereby accepts a
personal, non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-sublicensable (other than to subsidiaries of Licensee
for uses consistent with those described in this Section 1) limited license to use, reproduce and
display the Name, including as trademarks, domain names or other source indicators, in connection
with the naming of Licensee’s corporate entity and the corporate entities which are subsidiaries of
the Licensee (other than the Licensor) and the conduct by Licensee and its subsidiaries (other than
Licensor) of their respective businesses.

2. Reservation of Rights. Licensor reserves all rights in and to the Name, including but
not limited to the right to use the Name in connection with its business as well as its current and
future products and services. If Licensor reasonably believes that a particular manner or method
of use of the Name by Licensee will be harmful to Licensor, then Licensee shall cease or modify
such use upon Licensor’s request notwithstanding that such use may be within the scope of the
License. Licensor shall have no right to obtain any trademark or trade name or, other than as
expressly set forth herein, to obtain any other intellectual property rights in the Name.

3. Term. The term of the License shall be effective upon the Effective Date and shall
continue unless sooner terminated in accordance with Section 9.

4. Non-exclusivity. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent Licensor from
granting any other licenses for use of the Name or from utilizing the Name in any manner
whatsoever; provided, however, that no such license or use shall be granted to any person who is
not a subsidiary of Licensee or Licensor without the approval of the Licensor’s board of directors.

5. Goodwill. Licensee recognizes that there exists great value and goodwill associated
with the Name, and acknowledges that the Name and all rights therein and goodwill pertaining
thereto belong exclusively to Licensor.

6. Licensor’s Title and Protection of Licensor’s Rights.

a. Licensee agrees that it will not, during the term of this Agreement, or thereafter,
challenge the title or any rights of Licensor in and to the Name or challenge the validity of the
license granted herein or any trademarks or trademark registrations relating to the Name.

b. Licensee agrees to assist Licensor to the extent necessary in the procurement of any
protection or to protect any of Licensor’s right to the Name, and Licensor, if it so desires and at
its own expense, may commence or prosecute any claims or suits in its own name or in the name of
Licensee or join Licensee as a party thereto. Licensee shall notify Licensor in writing of any
infringement or imitations by others of the Name which come to Licensee’s attention, and Licensor
shall have the sole right to determine whether or not any action shall be taken on account of any
such infringements or imitations. Licensee shall not institute any suit or take any action on
account of any such infringement without prior consultation with Licensor.

c. Licensee agrees to cooperate fully and in good faith with Licensor for the purpose of
securing and preserving Licensor’s rights in and to the Name, and Licensor shall reimburse Licensee
its reasonable out-of-pocket costs for such cooperation (unless Licensee is in breach of this
Agreement). It is agreed that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as an
assignment or grant to the Licensee of any right, title or interest in or to the Name, it being
understood that all rights relating thereto are reserved by Licensor, except for the license
hereunder to Licensee of the right to use the Name only as specifically and expressly provided in
this Agreement. Licensee hereby agrees that at the termination or expiration of this Agreement,
Licensee will be deemed to have assigned, transferred and conveyed to Licensor any trade rights,
equities, goodwill, titles or other rights in and to the Name which may have been obtained by
Licensee or which may have vested in Licensee, and that Licensee will execute any instruments
requested by Licensor to accomplish or confirm the foregoing. Any such assignment, transfer or
conveyance shall be without consideration other than the mutual covenants and considerations of
this Agreement.

7. Indemnification. Licensee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Licensor, its
directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents from and against any and all losses,
liabilities, damages (including but not limited to damage to the value of the Name or the
Licensor’s goodwill in the Name) and expenses (including interest, penalties and reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses) that any of them may incur or become obligated or liable to pay as a
result of Licensee’s breach of this Agreement or Licensee’s use of the Name. In any instance to
which the foregoing indemnities pertain to a third party claim, Licensor shall cooperate with and
assist Licensee in connection with any such defense, Licensee shall reimburse Licensor’s reasonable
out-of-pocket costs actually incurred by Licensor in connection with such cooperation and
assistance, and Licensee shall keep Licensor fully advised of all developments and shall not enter
into a settlement or admit liability or fault without Licensor’s prior written approval, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that Licensor may elect to assume the defense of any
such third-party claim at Licensee’s expense, and Licensee shall reimburse Licensor’s reasonable
out-of-pocket costs actually incurred by Licensor in connection with such defense, but Licensor
shall not enter into a settlement or admit liability or fault without Licensee’s prior written
approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

8. Inspection. Licensor, or its nominee, shall have the right to inspect during normal
business hours the books and records of Licensee for the purpose of ensuring compliance with this
Agreement.

9. Termination.

a. Licensee may terminate this Agreement for any reason upon written notice to Licensor.

b. This Agreement, including but not limited to the License, may be terminated by Licensor
upon notice to Licensee should Licensee fail or refuse to perform any obligation created by this
Agreement or Licensee breaches any term or condition of this Agreement and such failure, refusal or
breach is not cured within thirty (30) calendar days following notice from Licensor.

c. This Agreement, including but not limited to the License, shall automatically terminate,
without the need for notice or an opportunity to cure, should any of the following events occur:

substantial part of its property or approving a petition filed against Licensee seeking

statute; or

outstanding securities; or

iii. the termination of the Management Services Agreement dated September 19, 2009 between

rights which Licensor may otherwise have against Licensee.

activity which would create an adverse effect on or otherwise harm or damage the Name or Licensor’s
reputation.

or assist any other party to take any actions that would infringe upon, harm or contest the
proprietary rights of Licensor in and to the Name.

prohibit use of the Name by, any other licensee duly authorized by Licensor. Licensee further
