                                PROMISSORY NOTE

PRINCIPAL AMOUNT: $4,140,000.00                  DATE OF NOTE: DECEMBER 26, 2000

PROMISE TO PAY. Hyland Software, Inc. ("Borrower") promises to pay to KeyBank
National Association ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the United States
of America, the principal amount of Four Million One Hundred Forty Thousand &
00/100 Dollars ($4,140,000.00), together with interest on the unpaid principal
balance from the date hereof, until paid in full.

PAYMENT. Subject to any payment changes resulting from changes in the Index,
Borrower will pay this loan in 119 monthly principal payments of $17,250.00 each
and one final installment of the remaining principal balance of $2,087,250.00.
Borrower's first principal payment is due January 31, 2001, and all subsequent
principal payments are due on the last day of each month thereafter. In
addition, Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of all accrued unpaid
interest due as of each payment date. Borrower's first interest payment is due
January 31, 2001, and all subsequent interest payments are due on the last day
of each month after that. Borrower's final payment, due December 31, 2010, will
be for all principal and accrued interest not yet paid. This Note shall bear
interest prior to maturity at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate
(defined below), which rate shall be adjusted immediately to correspond with any
change in the Index (as defined below).

"Interest Rate" means the rate determined in accordance with the following
matrix:

LEVERAGE REQUIREMENT                         PRICING TIER
Less then 2.00 to 1.00                       Prime Rate plus 1/4%
Greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00        Prime Rate plus 1/2%
but less than 4.00 to 1.00
Greater than or equal to 4.00:1.00           Prime Rate plus 1%
but less than or equal to 5.00 to 1.00
Greater than 5.00 to 1.00                    Default Rate

The "Leverage Requirement" means the Ratio of Senior Liabilities to Adjusted
Tangible Capital, as determined pursuant to the Loan Agreement (as defined
below).

The initial rate as of the date of this Note shall be the Prime Rate plus 1%.
The first rate determined according to the above matrix shall be based on the
Borrower's balance sheet as of December 31, 2000. Subsequent interest rate
adjustments under the above matrix will be calculated using the Ratio of Senior
Liabilities to Adjusted Tangible Capital at each quarter end, commencing with
the quarter ending December 31, 2000. Such rate changes shall be effective on
the first day of the next following quarter (or such earlier date as the Lender
agrees to in writing), except for the quarters ending December 31, when the
effective date of the change shall be May 1. By way of example, the Interest
Rate based on the December 31, 2000 balance sheet shall become effective May 1,
2001, and the Interest Rate based on the March 31, 2001 balance sheet shall be
effective July 1, 2001.

Upon the maturity of this Note (whether by acceleration or otherwise), the
unpaid principal amount of the Note, and accrued interest thereof, or any fees
or any other sum payable hereunder, shall thereafter until paid in full bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to three percent (3%) in excess of the Index
in effect from time to time, which rate shall be adjusted immediately to
correspond with any change in the Index, except such interest rate shall not
exceed the highest rate permitted by law (the "Default Rate"). Interest on this
Note is computed on a 365/360 simple interest basis; that is, by applying the
ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360 days, times the outstanding
principal balance, times 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. Unless otherwise agreed or
required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to accrued unpaid
interest, then to principal, and any remaining amount to any unpaid collection
costs and late charges.

                                       1

<PAGE>
VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change
from time to time based on changes in an index that is the Lender's Prime Rate
(the "Index"). The interest rate will change on the date of each announced
change of the Index within Lender. 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, the Lender may
designate a substitute index after notifying Borrower. Lender will tell
Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower's request. Borrower understands
that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The interest rate
change will not occur more often than each day that the rate changes. The index
currently is 9.50% per annum. The interest rate or rates to be applied to the
unpaid principal balance of this Note will be the rate or rates set forth above
in the "Payment" section. 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 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 under
the payment schedule. Rather, they will reduce the principal balance due and
may result in Borrower making fewer payments.

LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 10 days or more late, Borrower will be charged
5.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment or $50.00,
which ever is greater.

DEFAULT. Borrower will be in default if any of the following happens: (a)
Borrower fails to make any payment within ten (10) days after due. (b) Borrower
breaks any promise Borrower has made to Lender, or Borrower fails to comply
with or to perform when due any other term, obligation, covenant, or condition
contained in this Note or any agreement related to this Note, or in any other
agreement or loan Borrower has with Lender. (c) Borrower defaults under any
loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or
any other agreement, in favor of 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.
(d) Any representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or
on Borrower's behalf is false or misleading in any material respect either now
or at the time made or furnished. (e) Borrower becomes insolvent, a receiver is
appointed for any part of Borrower's property. Borrower makes an assignment for
the benefit of creditors, or any proceeding is commenced either by Borrower or
against Borrower under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws. (f) Any creditor
tries to take any of Borrower's property on or in which Lender has a lien or
security interest. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower's accounts
with Lender. (g) Any guarantor dies or any of the other events described in
this default section occurs with respect to any guarantor of this Note. (h) A
material adverse change occurs in Borrower's financial condition or Lender
believes the prospect of payment or performance of the Indebtedness is
impaired. (i) Lender in good faith deems itself insecure.

LENDER'S RIGHTS. Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal
balance on the Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, without
notice, and then Borrower will pay that amount. Upon default, including failure
to pay upon final maturity, Lender, at its option, may also, if permitted under
applicable law, increase the variable interest rate on this Note by 3.000
percentage points. The interest rate will not exceed the maximum rate permitted
by applicable law. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect this
Note if Borrower does not pay. Borrower also will pay Lender that amount. This
includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender's attorneys' fees
and Lender's legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit including
attorneys' fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including
efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any
anticipated post-judgment collection services. If not prohibited by applicable
law, Borrower also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums
provided by law. This Note has been delivered to Lender and accepted by Lender
in the State of Ohio. If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender's
request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Cuyahoga County, the
State of Ohio. Lender and Borrower hereby waive the right to any jury trial in
any action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought by either Lender or Borrower
against the other. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Ohio.

CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers
any attorney-at-law, including an attorney hired by Lender, to appear in any
court of record and to confess judgment against Borrower for the unpaid amount
of this Note as evidenced by an affidavit signed by an officer of Lender
setting forth the

                                       2
<PAGE>
amount then due, plus attorneys' fees as provided in this Note, plus costs of
suit, and to release all errors, and waive all rights of appeal. If a copy of
this Note, verified by an affidavit, shall have been filed in the proceeding,
it will not be necessary to file the original as a warrant of attorney.
Borrower waives the right to any stay of execution and the benefit of all
exemption laws now or hereafter in effect. No single exercise of the foregoing
warrant and power to confess judgment will be deemed to exhaust the power,
whether or not any such exercise shall be held by any court to be invalid,
voidable, or void; but the power will continue undiminished and may be
exercised from time to time as Lender may elect until all amounts owing on this
Note have been paid in full. Borrower waives any conflict of interest that an
attorney hired by Lender may have in acting on behalf of Borrower in confessing
judgment against Borrower while Lender retains such attorney. Borrower
expressly consents to such attorney acting for Borrower in confessing judgment.

LOAN AGREEMENT. This Note is executed under the terms and conditions of a
Business Loan Agreement of even date.

GENERAL PROVISIONS. If any part of this Note cannot be enforced, this fact will
not affect the rest of the Note. In particular, this section means (among other
things) that Borrower does not agree or intend to pay, and Lender does not agree
to intend to contract for, charge, collect, take, reserve or receive
(collectively referred to herein as "charge or collect"), any amount in the
nature of interest or in the nature of a fee for this loan, which would in any
way or event (including demand, prepayment, or acceleration) cause Lender to
charge or collect more for this loan than the maximum Lender would be permitted
to charge or collect by federal law or the law of the State of Ohio (as
applicable). Any such excess interest or unauthorized fee shall, instead of
anything stated to the contrary, be applied first to reduce the principal
balance of this loan, and when the principal has been paid in full, be refunded
to Borrower. Lender may delay or forgo enforcing any of its rights or remedies
under this Note without losing them. Borrower and any other person who signs,
guarantees or endorses this Note, to the extent allowed by law, waive
presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of dishonor. Upon any change
in the terms of this Note, and unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, no
party who signs this Note, whether as maker, guarantor, accommodation maker or
endorser, shall be released from liability. All such parties agree that Lender
may renew or extend (repeatedly and for any length of time) this loan, or
release any party, partner, or guarantor or collateral); or impair, fail to
realize upon or perfect Lender's security interest in the collateral; and take
any other action deemed necessary by Lender without the consent of or notice to
anyone. All such parties also agree that Lender may modify this loan without the
consent of or notice to anyone other than the party with whom the modification
is made.

PRIOR TO SIGNING THIS NOTE, BORROWER READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THE PROVISIONS OF
THIS NOTE, INCLUDING THE VARIABLE INTEREST RATE PROVISIONS. BORROWER AGREES TO
THE TERMS OF THE NOTE AND ACKNOWLEDGES RECEIPT OF A COMPLETED COPY OF THE NOTE.

                               (The "Amendment")

     WHEREAS, HYLAND SOFTWARE, INC. ("Borrower") executed and delivered a
certain Promissory Note dated December 26, 2000, payable to the order of
KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("Bank"), in the original principal amount of Four
Million One Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars ($4,140,000.00) (herein called the
"Promissory Note"), and

     WHEREAS, Borrower and Bank have agreed to amend the Promissory Note.

     NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration received to their satisfaction,
Borrower and Bank hereby mutually agree as follows:

     1.   The Promissory Note is amended to delete the second (including the
matrix), third, and fourth paragraphs under the caption entitled "Payment" set
forth on page 1 of the Promissory Note and to substitute the following:
"Interest Rate" means the Index (as defined below)."

     2.   This Amendment shall be effective as of April 20, 2001. Except as
herein specifically amended, all provisions of the Promissory Note are hereby
confirmed and ratified and shall remain in full force and effect. All security
documents securing payment of the Promissory Note and all loan agreements and
other documents, including any guarantees, securing or relating to the
Promissory Note (collectively, the "Related Documents"), are hereby modified as
may be necessary to take into account and incorporate the changes set forth
herein, and shall continue to secure payment of the Promissory Note as amended
herein. Borrower reaffirms its obligation in full and reaffirms the validity and
enforceability of the Related Documents without set-off, counterclaim, or
defense. The terms hereof shall bind the parties hereto and their assigns,
successors, and transferees.

     3.   Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Bank that (a) Borrower has
the legal power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement; (b) the
officials executing this Amendment have been duly authorized to execute and
deliver this Amendment and bind Borrower with respect to the provisions hereof;
(c) that no event of default exists under the Related Documents and the
execution and delivery hereof by Borrower and the performance and observance by
Borrower of the provisions hereof do not violate or conflict with the
organizational agreements or documents of Borrower or any law applicable to
Borrower or result in a breach of any provisions of or constitute a default
under any other agreement, instrument, or document binding upon or enforceable
against Borrower; (d) this Amendment constitutes a valid and binding obligation
of the Borrower in every respect.

     4.   In consideration of this Amendment, Borrower hereby releases and
discharges the Bank and its shareholders, directors, officers, employees,
attorneys, affiliates, and subsidiaries from any and all claims, demands,
liability, and causes of action whatsoever, now known or unknown, arising out of
or in any way related to the extension or administration of the Loans, the
Agreement, or any of the other Related Documents.

     5.   In consideration of this Amendment, Borrower shall pay the Bank's
outside legal fees incurred in connection herewith, which fees shall be payable
upon the execution of this Amendment.

<PAGE>
     6.   This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Ohio, without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

     7.   All defined terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning
ascribed thereto in the Related Documents.

     8.   Borrower authorizes any attorney at law to appear before any court of
record, state, or federal, in the United States of America (other than any
court in which utilization of this warrant of attorney would be contrary to
law) after the Promissory Note, as amended hereby, becomes due, whether by
lapse of time or by acceleration of maturity, to waive the issuance and service
of process, to admit the maturity and nonpayment of the indebtedness evidenced
by the Promissory Note, as amended hereby, to confess judgment against Borrower
in favor of Bank for the amount then appearing due, together with costs of
suit, and thereupon to release all errors and waive all rights of appeal and
stay of execution. The foregoing warrant of attorney shall survive the judgment;
should any judgment be vacated for any reason the foregoing warrant of attorney
nevertheless may thereafter be utilized for obtaining additional judgment or
judgments. Borrower agrees that the Bank's attorney may confess judgment
pursuant to the foregoing warrant of attorney. Borrower further agrees that the
attorney confessing judgment pursuant to the foregoing warrant of attorney may
receive a legal fee or other compensation from the Bank.

     "WARNING -- BY SIGNING THIS PAPER YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO NOTICE AND
     COURT TRIAL. IF YOU DO NOT PAY ON TIME A COURT JUDGMENT MAY BE TAKEN
     AGAINST YOU WITHOUT YOUR PRIOR KNOWLEDGE AND THE POWERS OF A COURT CAN BE
     USED TO COLLECT FROM YOU REGARDLESS OF ANY CLAIMS YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST THE
     CREDITOR WHETHER FOR RETURNED GOODS, FAULTY GOODS, FAILURE ON HIS PART TO
     COMPLY WITH THE AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER CAUSE."

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower and Bank have caused this Amendment to be
executed by their duly authorized representatives as of the 20th day of April,
2001.

                         DEMAND MASTER PROMISSORY NOTE

$5,000,000                                                           May 3, 2004
                                                                 Cleveland, Ohio

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, HYLAND SOFTWARE, INC., an Ohio
corporation, ("Borrower") promises to pay to the order to KEYBANK NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION ("Bank") at its main office at 127 Public Square, Cleveland, Ohio
44114-1306, the principal sum of FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($5,000,000), or the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Advances made by Bank to Borrower
hereunder, whichever is less, in lawful money of the United States of America,
on the earlier of DEMAND or May 2, 2005.

     Borrower promises to pay interest (based on a year having three hundred
sixty (360) days and calculated for the actual number of days elapsed) on the
principal balance of each Advance at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate
from time to time in effect minus one hundred (100) basis points, with such
interest to be due and payable commencing May 31, 2004, and continuing on the
last day of each succeeding calendar month thereafter and on the Maturity Date.
The principal balance of each Advance that remains outstanding after the
Maturity Date shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.
Advances may be prepaid at any time.

     This Note shall serve as a master note to evidence all Advances; provided,
however, that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Advances shall not at
any time outstanding exceed the Line of Credit. Borrower shall make an immediate
prepayment on this Note in the event that the aggregate unpaid principal amount
of all Advances shall at any time exceed the Line of Credit. Bank shall record
the principal amount of each Advance and the amount of any principal, interest
or other payment and the applicable dates with respect thereto, by such method
as Bank may generally employ; provided, however, that failure to make any such
entry shall in no way detract from Borrower's obligations under this Note. The
foregoing information with respect to the Advances set forth on the records of
Bank shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the principal and interest
owing and unpaid on this Note.

     Borrower may request same day borrowings with respect to Advances provided
that the request for such borrowing is made before 2:00 P.M. (Eastern time).
Whenever any payment to be made under this Note shall be due on a day that is
not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business
Day and such extension of time shall in each case be included in the computation
of the interest payable hereunder. Borrower waives presentment, demand, notice,
protest and all other demands and notices in connection with delivery,
acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note.

     Borrower agrees to provide to Bank (a) within forty-five (45) days after
the end of each of the first three quarter-annual fiscal periods of each of
Borrower's fiscal years, Borrower's balance sheet as of the end of that period
and its cash-flow statement, reconciliation of surplus statement and profit and
loss statement for that period, all prepared in form and detail in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and
certified by a financial officer of Borrower; (b) within ninety (90) days after
the end of each of Borrower's fiscal years, a complete annual audit report of
Borrower for that year prepared in form and detail

<PAGE>
satisfactory to Bank and certified by an independent public accountant
reasonably satisfactory to Bank; and (c) within ten (10) days of Bank's written
request, such other information about the financial condition, properties and
operations of Borrower as Bank may from time to time reasonably request.

     Borrower shall at all times maintain unrestricted cash-on-hand and Cash
Equivalents in an aggregate amount of no less than Three Million Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000). As used herein, "Cash Equivalents" shall mean
cash equivalents in accordance with GAAP.

     Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses of Bank,
including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and expenses in connection with
the preparation, negotiation and closing of this Note and the collection of the
Obligations. Concurrently herewith Borrower is terminating any commitment of
Bank to make loans or other extensions of credit to Borrower under the "Business
Loan Agreement - Asset Based" dated as of April 20, 2001. Bank has also agreed
to terminate the Security Agreement executed in connection therewith dated as of
April 20, 2001.

     Borrower agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Bank from and
against any and all liabilities, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees) that may be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against Bank in connection with any investigative, administrative
or judicial proceeding (whether or not Bank shall be designated a party thereto)
or any other claim by any Person relating to or arising out of this Note;
provided that Bank shall not have the right to be indemnified under this
paragraph as a result of Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at all times thereafter, at
the option of Bank (but automatically with respect to Events of Default (e)
through (h)), all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, Bank may
terminate the Line of Credit and no further Advance may be requested by
Borrower. In addition, Bank may apply or setoff any Deposit Account against all
Obligations, all without any notice to or demand upon Borrower, in addition to
any other rights and remedies Bank may have pursuant to law, this Note or any
other instruments or agreements, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.
This Note and the other Obligations are secured by the mortgage executed in
connection with the Business Loan Agreement.

     This Note shall bind Borrower and Borrower's successors and assigns and
shall inure to the benefit of Bank and its successors and assigns. Borrower may
not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Note without the
express written consent of Bank. All provisions hereof shall be subject to,
governed by, and construed in accordance with Ohio law, without regard to
principles of conflicts of laws. Unenforceability of any provision hereof or any
application of any provision hereof shall not affect the enforceability of any
other provision or application of any provision. This Note constitutes a final
written expression of all of the terms of this instrument, is a complete and
exclusive statement of those terms and supersedes all oral representations,
negotiations and prior writings, if any, with respect to the subject matter
hereof. The relationship between Borrower and Bank with respect to this Note is
and shall be solely that

                                       2
<PAGE>
of debtor and creditor, respectively, and Bank shall have no fiduciary

as Bank's Prime Rate, whether or not such rate is publicly announced; the Prime
Rate may not be the lowest interest rate charged by Bank for commercial or other
extensions of credit. Each change in the Prime Rate shall be effective
immediately from and after such change.

     Borrower authorizes any attorney at law at any time or times after the
maturity hereof (whether maturity occurs by lapse of time or by acceleration) to
appear in any state or federal court of record in the United States of America,
to waive the issuance and service of process, to admit the maturity of this Note
and the nonpayment thereof when due, to confess judgment against Borrower in
favor of the holder of this Note for the amount then appearing due, together
with interest and costs of suit, and thereupon to release all errors and to
waive all rights of appeal and stay of execution. The foregoing warrant of
attorney shall survive any judgment, and if any judgment is vacated for any
reason, the holder hereof nevertheless may thereafter use the foregoing warrant
of attorney to obtain an additional judgment or judgments against Borrower.
Borrower agrees that Bank's attorney may confess judgment pursuant to the
foregoing warrant of attorney. Borrower further agrees that the attorney
confessing judgment pursuant to the foregoing warrant of attorney may receive a
legal fee or other compensation from Bank.
