<PAGE> 3
March 28, 2001 and (2) the date on which there shall have
occurred a "Designated Event" as such term is defined in that
certain indenture dated March 13, 1995, between Danka PLC, as
issuer, and The Bank of New York, as trustee, pursuant to
which Danka PLC issued the Convertible Subordinated Notes, and
any Event of Default that may have existed on or after
December 31, 2000 as a result of any failure by the Danka
Parties to comply therewith during such period shall be
waived, if the Danka Parties do not permit:
(a) The Consolidated Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio as at the end of the four fiscal
quarter period ending on December 31, 2000 to be less
than 0.80 to 1.00;
(b) At any time on and after December
31, 2000 and on or prior to March 28, 2001 the
Adjusted Consolidated Net Worth of Danka PLC and its
Subsidiaries to be less than $286,000,000;
(c) The Consolidated Total Leverage
Ratio as at the end of December 31, 2000 for the four

For purposes of subsections (a), (c), (d) and (e) in this Section 8.3(vii), the
calculation of the Consolidated EBITDA for the four fiscal quarter period ending
December 31, 2000 shall add to income from continuing operations the actual
restructuring charges for such period in an amount not to exceed $62,340,000. In
addition, for purposes of subsections (a), (b) and (e) in this Section 8.3(vii),

dated as of July 9, 1999 on the interest expense for such period shall be

thereof, an "Event of Default" as such term is defined in Section 9.1 of this
Agreement shall be deemed to have occurred."
3. New Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
Credit Agreement, during the period from and after December 31, 2000, the

<PAGE> 4
Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of Danka PLC shall have, on or
before the date of any such request, delivered a certificate to the Banks (in
care of the Agent) setting forth in reasonable detail the then current cash
balances and cash flow projections of the Companies and certifying that the
Companies require the proceeds from such request in order for the Companies to
be able to pay all of their costs and expenses incurred in the ordinary course
of business and to operate their businesses in the ordinary course of business
in the immediate two weeks following any such request; provided, however, that
the Companies shall not be required to deliver such certificate for any new
Borrowing where the aggregate amount outstanding against ABN Amro Bank N.V.'s
commitments under the International Swing Line Agreement after giving effect to
such new Borrowing does not exceed $7,000,000; and provided further that an
election to continue any Syndicated Loan or Bank of America Swing Line loan
pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(ii) of the Credit Agreement shall not be considered a
new Borrowing for purpose of this paragraph 3. At the request of the Banks
(acting through the Agent) the Companies shall provide to the Banks such
additional facts and evidence supporting the conclusions contained in such
certificate as may be reasonably requested by the Agent.
4. Dividends, Distributions, Investments. During the period from
and including December 31, 2000 and to and including March 28, 2001 (i) Danka

the Companies nor any of their Subsidiaries shall make any Acquisitions, and

January 1, 2001 in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.9(c) and Schedule
V of the Credit Agreement, on December 29, 2000; provided, that in order for the
Companies to make such election, the Companies shall provide written notice to
the Agent of its election on or before December 22, 2000. Schedule V of the

election.
6. Repayment of Tax Retention Operating Lease. Notwithstanding
any provision of the Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents to the contrary,
the Companies may make payments to the TROL Lenders of the Termination Value of
any Property, which payments shall be applied to the principal amount of such
loan and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and "Holder Advances" as
defined in the TROL Documents (the "Permitted Application"); provided that (a)
the funds for such payments shall be derived solely from (i) funds, if any, in
the Cash Collateral Account (including any investment earnings thereon but
excluding any taxes reasonably estimated to be payable thereon), and (ii) net
proceeds from the sale of any Property (determined without any reduction in
respect of outstanding obligations under the TROL Documents) (the "Net TROL
Proceeds"), and (b) within three (3) Business Days of the receipt of the Net
TROL Proceeds, the Companies shall pay to the TROL Lenders one hundred percent

Tenth Amendment by the Majority Banks, the Danka Parties shall pay to the Agent

the Banks the operations, finances, and business affairs of Danka PLC and its
Subsidiaries and to furnish reports of its findings and recommendations solely
to the Agent, its counsel and the Banks. The Companies jointly and severally
agree to pay all reasonable fees, costs, and expenses of the Consultant incurred
in connection with the performance by the Consultant of its duties described in
this paragraph. The Companies shall, and shall cause all Subsidiaries to,
cooperate fully and in a timely manner with the Consultant, including its agents

Parties to the Agent of the Amendment Fee, and (c) receipt by the Agent of a

documents.

2002, and then on a yearly basis for fiscal years 2003, 2004 and 2005) in
reasonable detail.
