                           SECOND AMENDMENT TO AMENDED

                          AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

         THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT is dated
as of March 30, 2001 ("this Amendment"), by and among NORSTAN, INC., a Minnesota
corporation (the "Borrower"), the banks which are signatories hereto (each
individually, a "Bank," and collectively, the "Banks"), and U.S. BANK NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, one of the Banks, as agent for the
Banks (in such capacity, the "Agent").

                                    RECITALS

         A. The Borrower, the Banks and the Agent are parties to an Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 20, 2000, as amended by a First
Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 19, 2001
(as amended, the "Credit Agreement").

         B. The Borrower has advised the Banks that (i) it will be unable to
make the principal payments due upon Term Loan A and Term Loan B of the Credit
Agreement due on March 30, 2001 and (ii) it has violated certain financial
covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.

         C. The Borrower has requested that the Banks agree to extend the times
for the payments due under Term Loan A and Term Loan B under the Credit
Agreement on the terms set forth in this Agreement and agree to forbear from
exercising their remedies pursuant to the Borrower's events of default due to
the Borrower's failure to meet its financial covenants.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and
valuable consideration the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 DEFINITIONS. CAPITALIZED TERMS USED HEREIN AND NOT OTHERWISE DEFINED HEREIN,
     BUT WHICH ARE DEFINED IN THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, SHALL HAVE THE MEANINGS
           ASCRIBED TO SUCH TERMS IN THE CREDIT AGREEMENT UNLESS THE
                          CONTEXT OTHERWISE REQUIRES.

          AMENDMENTS TO CREDIT AGREEMENT. SUBJECT TO SECTION 5 HEREOF,
               THE CREDIT AGREEMENT IS HEREBY AMENDED AS FOLLOWS:

TERM LOAN PAYMENTS. SECTIONS 2.5(B) AND 2.5(C) OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT ARE
DELETED IN THEIR ENTIRETIES AND THE FOLLOWING IS SUBSTITUTED IN LIEU THEREOF:

                           (b) Term A Loan. The unpaid balance of the Term A
                  Loan, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be
                  due and payable on April 4, 2001;

                           (c) Term B Loan. The unpaid balance of the Term B
                  Loan, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be
                  due and payable on April 4, 2001;

               FORBEARANCE FROM OF EVENTS OF DEFAULT. THE BORROWER
                       HAS INFORMED THE BANKS AS FOLLOWS:

                  (a) that it was not in compliance with its covenant under
         Section 6.16 of the Credit Agreement for the period ended February 28,
         2001, in that its actual EBITDA for the fiscal month ended on that date
         was ($2,179,000), which amount is the less than the minimum EBITDA of
         $2,195,000 required by that Section for that period;

                  (b) that it was not in compliance with its covenant under
         Section 6.18 of the Credit Agreement for the fiscal month ended
         February 28, 2001, in that the Adjusted Leverage Ratio as of that date
         was 16.9 to 1.0, which amount is greater than the maximum Adjusted
         Leverage Ratio of 13.7 to 1.0 required by that Section for that period;
         and,

                  (c) that it was not in compliance with its covenant under
         Section 6.19 of the Credit Agreement for the fiscal month ended
         February 28, 2001, in that the Interest Coverage Ratio as of that date
         was (3.2) to 1.0, which amount is less than the minimum Interest
         Coverage Ratio of 3.9 to 1.0 required by that Section for that period;

Each such instance of noncompliance constitutes a Default or Event of Default
under the Credit Agreement (collectively, the "Existing Defaults"). Upon the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5 below, each Bank and the
Agent shall, until the Forbearance Termination Date (defined below), forbear
from exercising their enforcement remedies under the Loan Documents arising from
the Existing Defaults. For purposes of this letter, the "Forbearance Termination
Date" shall mean the earlier to occur of April 4, 2001 or the date on which any
additional Event of Default occurs. The Banks' and the Agent's agreement to
forbear is limited to the express terms thereof, and nothing herein shall be
deemed a waiver or forbearance by the Banks or the Agent of any other term,
condition, representation or covenant applicable to the Borrower or any
Guarantor under the Loan Documents (including but not limited to any future
occurrence similar to the Existing Defaults). The forbearance by the Banks and
the Agent set forth herein shall not constitute a waiver or forbearance by the
Banks or the Agent of any other Default or Event of Default, if any, under any
Loan Document, and shall not be, and shall not be deemed to be, a course of
action with respect thereto upon which the Borrower may rely in the future, and
the Borrower hereby expressly waives any claim to such effect.
