                           Executive agrees to pay a prorated amount of
                           Executive's total relocation cost based on
                           Executive's time with the Company.

                           3.4.1    Executive's basis in his current primary

                                    make-up any difference in the actual selling

                                    between $775,000.00 and $825,000.00, up to a
                                    maximum make-up difference of $50,000.00.
                                    The Company reserves the right to consider
                                    the most tax advantageous way to provide
                                    such makeup payment.

                           3.4.2    Company shall assist Executive in obtaining
                                    a bridge loan if necessary.

                  6.4      Executive, except within the course of the
                           performance of his duties hereunder, shall not at any

                           partner of the Company or any of their respective
                           parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, or (ii) in any way
                           cause, influence, or participate in the employment of
                           any individual which would be contrary to the
                           Company's best interests, as determined by the
                           Company in its sole discretion.

                  6.5      Executive's services are unique and any breach or

                           Executive of any of the provisions of this Section 6,
                           the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief
                           restraining Executive and any business, firm,

                           Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the
                           Company from pursuing any other remedies available at
                           law or in equity for such breach or threatened
                           breach, including the recovery of damages and the
                           immediate termination of the employment of Executive
                           hereunder.

                           or unenforceable in a particular jurisdiction, the
                           same shall not affect the remainder of the provisions
                           or the enforceability thereof in that jurisdiction,
                           which shall be given full effect, without regard to
                           the invalidity or unenforceability thereof in a
                           particular jurisdiction because of the duration
                           and/or scope of such provision or covenant in that
                           jurisdiction and, in its reduced form, said provision
                           or covenant shall be enforceable. In all other
                           jurisdictions this Section 6 shall at all times
                           remain in full force and effect.

                                RELEASE OF CLAIMS

DEFINITIONS: I, Forrest Mark Wolfinger, ("Employee"), intend all words used in
this Release to have their plain meaning in ordinary English. Technical legal
words are not needed to describe what I mean. Specific terms I use in this
Release have the following meanings:

         A.       I, Me, and My include both me and anyone who has or obtains
                  any legal rights or claims through me.

         B.       Employer, as used herein, shall at all times mean Danka
                  Corporation or any parent company, subsidiaries, affiliated
                  companies or entities and their employees, officers,
                  directors, successors and assigns, its attorneys, consultants
                  and agents, whether in their individual or official
                  capacities.

         C.       My Claims means all of the rights I have to any relief of any
                  kind from Employer, whether or not I now know about those
                  rights, arising out of or in any way related to my employment
                  with Employer, any my termination of employment, or any
                  employee benefit plan, including, but not limited to, common
                  law, or equitable claims, claims for violation or breach of
                  any employment agreement or understanding; fraud or
                  misrepresentation; and any statutory claims including alleged
                  violations of the, the federal Age Discrimination in
                  Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, or any
                  other federal, state, or local civil rights laws or
                  ordinances, defamation; intentional or negligent infliction of
                  emotional distress; breach of the covenant of good faith and
                  fair dealing; promissory estoppel; negligence, wrongful
                  termination of employment, any any other claims.

AGREEMENT TO RELEASE MY CLAIMS. I am receiving a substantial amount of money,
among other things, from Employer as consideration for my Release of claims. I
agree to give up all My Claims against the Employer as defined above. I will not
bring any lawsuits, file any charges, complaints, or notices, or make any other
demands against the Employer or any of its employees or agents based on any
alleged claims. The money I am receiving is a full and fair payment for the
release of all My Claims.

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS. Even though the Employer is paying me
to release My Claims, the Employer expressly denies that it is responsible or
legally obligated for My Claims or that is has engaged in any wrongdoing.

         I understand that I may have twenty-one (21) calendar days from the day
that I receive this Release, not counting the day upon which I receive it, to
consider whether I wish to sign this Release. I further understand that the
Employer recommends that I consult with an attorney before executing this
Release. I agree that if I sign this Release before the end of the twenty-one
(21) day period, it is because I have decided that I have already had sufficient
time to decide whether to sign the Release.

         I understand that I may rescind (that is, cancel) this Release within
seven (7) calendar days of signing it to reinstate federal civil rights claims
(if any). To be effective, my rescission must be in writing and delivered to the
Employer, Attention General Counsel,

or by mail within the required period. If sent by mail, the rescission must be:

         1.       Postmarked within the relevant period;

         2.       Properly addressed to the General Counsel; and

         3.       Sent by certified mail, return receipt requested.

         I have read this Release carefully and understand all its terms. I have
had the opportunity to review this Release with my own attorney. In agreeing to
sign this Release, I have not relied on any statements or explanations made by
the Employer or its agents other than those set forth in the Release and
Employment Agreement.

         I understand and agree that this Release and Employment Agreement to
which it is attached contain all the agreements between the Employer and me. We
have no other written or oral agreements.
