	 	Re:  	 	SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT dated as of January 24, 2005, as
amended by First Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as
of February 17, 2005 and Second Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement dated as of March 28, 2006, as the same may be or have been further amended
from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”) entered into by and among BLACK BOX
CORPORATION OF PENNSYLVANIA, a Delaware corporation (“BBCPA”), and NORSTAN,
INC., a Minnesota corporation (“Norstan” — BBCPA and Norstan are sometimes
individually referred to herein as a “Borrower” and collectively as the
“Borrowers”), BLACK BOX CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the
“Parent”), the guarantors parties hereto from time to time (together with the
Parent, the “Guarantors”), the Lenders parties hereto from time to time and
CITIZENS BANK OF PENNSYLVANIA, a banking association organized and existing under the
laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as administrative agent for the Lenders
parties hereunder (in such capacity, together with the successors in such capacity, the
“Agent”)





Dear Mr. McAndrew:




     Reference is made to the Credit Agreement. Terms in this letter that are not defined in this
letter shall have the meanings given to those terms in the Credit Agreement, unless the
circumstances clearly require otherwise. Further, reference is made to that certain letter
agreement entered into by and among the Lenders, the Agent and the Borrowers dated February 28,
2007 (the “Waiver Letter”).



     The Waiver Letter provided that the Lenders would agree to waive certain Defaults (as defined
in the Waiver Letter) provided that the Borrowers deliver third quarter financial statements and
the Form 10-Q of the Parent to the Lenders on or prior to May 28, 2007. You have requested that
the Lenders agree to extend the date upon which the Borrowers must deliver such financial
statements and Form 10-Q until June 29, 2007.



     Subject to the terms and conditions of this letter agreement and provided that the Borrowers
deliver such third quarter financial statements and the Form 10-Q of the Parent to the Lenders on
or prior to June 29, 2007, the Lenders agree to waive the Defaults (as defined in the Waiver
Letter).



 









 





     The Borrowers represent and warrant that: (i) subject to the last sentence of this paragraph,
all of the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement, the Notes and the
other Loan Documents are true and correct, as if made on the date hereof, (ii) after giving effect
to the terms of this letter agreement, no Event of Default or Potential Default exists on and as of
the date hereof and the Borrowers are in compliance with all of the terms of the Credit Agreement,
the Notes and the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the Borrowers are authorized to execute and
deliver this letter agreement. The Lenders have been advised by the Parent that, as a result of
the Parent’s ongoing review of its stock option practices, the Parent will need to restate its
historical financial statements to record additional non-cash compensation expense related to stock
option grants and to make other related adjustments. Accordingly, the financial statements,
certificates, documents and other information previously delivered or to be delivered to the
Lenders were not accurate and complete in all material respects with respect to these potential
adjustments.



     Except as specifically amended hereby, each of the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents
shall remain in full force and effect in the form in which it existed on the date hereof prior to
giving effect to the terms of this letter agreement and the Borrowers ratify and affirm each of the
Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents in its respective entirety (subject to the amendments
specifically provided for herein).



     Nothing contained in this letter shall be construed to impair the security of the Agent or the
Lenders or their successors and assigns under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents nor affect or impair any rights or powers that the Agent or the Lenders may have under
the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents for the recovery of the indebtedness of the
Borrowers to the Lenders in case of non-fulfillment of the terms, provisions and covenants
contained in this letter or the terms, rights, powers and covenants of the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents not modified by this letter. All rights, powers and remedies of the Agent and
the Lenders under any other agreement now or at any time hereafter in force between the Agent, the
Lenders and the Borrowers shall be cumulative and not alternative and shall be in addition to all
rights, powers and remedies given to the Agent and the Lenders by law.



     If the foregoing accurately sets forth our understanding with respect to the matters contained
herein, please accept this letter agreement by signing where indicated below. This letter
agreement shall not be enforceable against the Lenders and shall not act as a modification to any
of the terms of the Credit Agreement until such time as it has been accepted by the Borrowers and
the Required Lenders, to be evidenced by delivery of the signatures of the Borrowers and the
Required Lenders as provided below.
