                                  WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, Executive is a party to an employment agreement dated as of
August 1, 1998 between the Company and the Executive as amended by a letter

         WHEREAS, the Company wishes to assure itself of the services of
Executive, on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

         WHEREAS, Executive desires to be so employed by the Company on said
terms.

to discharge his obligations hereunder and perform his duties in accordance
with the general policies established by the Board of Directors of the Company

4.       PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT. Executive's principal place of work shall be
located in the Tampa Bay, Florida metropolitan area. The parties acknowledge
that this is consistent with the extensive national and international business
travel which may be required of Executive in connection with his performance of
his duties under this Employment Agreement.

5.       BASE SALARY AND BONUS. During the Employment Period and subject to all
the terms and conditions of this Employment Agreement, the Company shall pay
Executive a base salary at the rate of $450,000 per annum, payable in a manner
consistent with the Company's payroll procedures for U.S. salaried employees.
Executive's base salary shall be reviewed annually and may be increased as
deemed appropriate.

         In addition to the annual base salary, Executive shall be entitled to
receive an annual bonus opportunity under a performance bonus plan developed by
the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors of Danka Business
Systems ("H.R. Committee"). The H.R. Committee shall establish during the first
quarter of each fiscal year financial performance targets for such fiscal year,
stated in terms of net income, diluted earnings per share, operating cash flow
or such other measures as may be selected by the H.R. Committee, as well as the
annual bonuses available upon achievement of target, threshold and maximum
levels of performance. The bonus available upon achievement of the target level
shall be one hundred percent (100%) of Executive's annual base salary. Subject
to the H.R. Committee's certification of the Company's achievement of the
relevant financial goals for the fiscal year at not less than the threshold
level, payment of each such annual bonus shall be made to Executive in cash
(net of applicable taxes) as promptly after the end of the relevant fiscal year
as the H.R. Committee is able to certify the achievement of the applicable
target performance goals, subject to any deferral election made by Executive
under the terms of the Company's deferred compensation plan for U.S.
executives.

         All salary and bonus payments to Executive under this Employment
Agreement shall be paid to Executive by the Company, through its U.S. payroll
system. If the Company should fail to make any such payment to Executive when
due, the Company, Danka Holding Company and Danka Business Systems shall be
jointly and severally liable to Executive.

6.       ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS. During the Employment Period,
the Company shall pay to or provide Executive such other compensation and
benefits as are established by or approved by the H.R. Committee, including the
following additional compensation and welfare and fringe benefits:

         (a)      Stock Options. Executive shall be eligible to receive stock
                  option awards, as described in Section 7 below, on such basis
                  and at such times as the H.R. Committee may determine to be
                  equitable and consistent with Executive's position and
                  performance.

                                       2

         (b)      Medical Insurance. The Company shall provide Executive and
                  his dependents with health insurance coverage no less
                  favorable than that from time to time made available to other
                  key employees of the Company located in the United States.

         (c)      Vacation. Executive shall be entitled to at least four (4)
                  weeks of vacation during each year during the term of this
                  Employment Agreement, prorated for partial years.

         (d)      Business Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Executive for
                  all reasonable, ordinary and necessary expenses he incurs in
                  connection with his employment by the Company (including but
                  not limited to, automobile and other business travel, and
                  customer entertainment expenses).

         (e)      Car. The Company shall provide, at the Company's expense, a
                  Mercedes or Jaguar, or similar type automobile for
                  Executive's use.

         In addition to the benefits provided pursuant to the preceding
paragraphs of this Section 6, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in
all executive compensation and retirement plans of the Company applicable
generally to officers of the Company located in the United States, including,
without limitation, airline club expenses up to $1,000 annually and life
insurance premiums up to $10,000 annually, and in such welfare benefit plans,
programs, practices and policies of the Company as are generally applicable to
other United States employees from time to time.

7.       STOCK OPTIONS. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be
granted additional stock options ("Options") with respect to American
Depository Shares representing ordinary shares of Danka Business Systems
("ADSs") on an equitable basis consistent with his position, provided that
Executive has continued his employment with the Company through the relevant
grant date and has not given a Notice of Termination as defined in Section 10
below. All of the Options of Executive shall be subject to the following terms
and conditions:

         (a)      The Options granted to Executive shall become fully vested on
                  an accelerated basis upon: (1) expiration of the Employment
                  Period (or, if such original Employment Period is extended or
                  renewed by mutual agreement of Executive and the Company,
                  expiration of the final renewal period); (2) Executive's
                  death or permanent Disability; (3) an involuntary termination
                  of Executive's employment other than for Cause (as defined in
                  Section 10); (4) Executive's voluntary termination of
                  employment for Good Reason (as defined in Section 10); or (5)
                  the date the Company gives Executive a Notice of Termination
                  (other than for Cause as defined in Section 10).

                                       3

         (b)      Upon termination of Executive's employment for Cause (as
                  defined in Section 10), any unexercised Options held by
                  Executive (including both vested and unvested Options) shall
                  be forfeited immediately. Upon delivery of a Notice of
                  Termination by Executive or other voluntary termination by
                  Executive (other than for Good Reason as defined in Section
                  10), any vested but unexercised Options held by Executive
                  shall continue to be exercisable during the period of twelve
                  (12) months following the date of termination. If Executive's
                  Options vest on an accelerated basis pursuant to paragraph
                  (a), or if Executive's employment terminates at the
                  expiration of the Employment Period, the Options not
                  exercised by the termination date shall continue to be
                  exercisable for a period of thirty-six (36) months following
                  such date (but not later than the expiration of the Option's
                  original ten (10) year term). Such continued right to
                  exercise the Options shall be subject to Executive's
                  adherence to the terms of such non-competition,
                  confidentiality and similar restrictive covenants as the H.R.
                  Committee may require to be included in the stock option
                  certificates, provided that such restrictive covenants shall
                  be deemed to be waived upon a Change of Control (as defined
                  in the Change of Control Agreement).

         (c)      At the H.R. Committee's discretion, the Options may be
                  granted for the equivalent number of ordinary shares of Danka
                  Business Systems, instead of ADSs.

8.       TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY OR BY EXECUTIVE. This Employment Agreement
may be terminated by the Company or by Executive upon thirty days' written
notice, provided that the Company or Executive, as the case may be, shall give
Notice of Termination (as defined in Section 10). Compensation paid to
Executive during the thirty day notice period following the giving of the
Notice of Termination shall be considered to be part of the severance pay
described in Section 9 of this Employment Agreement.

         This Employment Agreement may be terminated upon six months' written
notice by the Company by reason of the Disability (as defined in Section 10) of
Executive. This Employment Agreement may be terminated by the Company for Cause
(as defined in Section 10) immediately upon giving Notice of Termination and
may be terminated by Executive for Good Reason (as defined in Section 10)
immediately upon giving Notice of Termination, provided that the Company shall
in either case pay to Executive the compensation and other benefits described
in Section 9 of this Employment Agreement.

9.       PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION.

         (a)      If Executive's employment is terminated during the Employment
                  Period, either by the Company or by Executive, or in the
                  event of death or Disability (as defined in Section 10),
                  Executive shall be entitled to receive his base salary
                  accrued through

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

                  the date of termination, any accrued but unpaid vacation pay
                  for the year of the termination, plus any bonus earned but
                  not previously paid with respect to fiscal years preceding
                  the termination date. If Executive's employment is terminated
                  during the Employment Period by Executive for Good Reason (as
                  defined in Section 10), or by the Company other than for
                  Cause (as defined in Section 10), then Executive shall also
                  receive the additional termination pay and benefits set forth
                  in Sections 9(b), 11 or other applicable provisions of this
                  Employment Agreement.

         (b)      If Executive's employment is involuntarily terminated by the
                  Company during the Employment Period for any reason other
                  than death, Disability (as defined in Section 10) or Cause
                  (as defined in Section 10), including by giving a Notice of
                  Termination to Executive, or if the Executive gives a Notice
                  of Termination for Good Reason (as defined in Section 10),
                  the Company shall also be obligated to provide Executive with
                  the following severance compensation:

                  (i)      The Company shall pay to Executive (subject to
                           withholding of applicable taxes) termination
                           payments, in an amount equal to the sum of (A) two
                           (2) full years of Executive's annual base salary, at
                           the rate in effect on the date the Notice of
                           Termination is given, and (B) twice the annual
                           target bonus (i.e., twice the annual target bonus of
                           100 percent of annual base salary) which would be
                           payable to Executive for the fiscal year in which
                           the Notice of Termination is given if the Company's
                           financial performance targets were deemed to be
                           satisfied at the budgeted target level for such
                           fiscal year. The Company shall deliver a lump sum
                           payment equal to one-half (1/2) of such amount
                           (subject to withholding of applicable taxes) to
                           Executive by wire transfer or cashier's check within
                           ten (10) business days after the termination of his
                           employment. The remainder shall be paid to Executive
                           in a series of twelve (12) equal monthly payments,
                           beginning on the first anniversary of the date of
                           termination. These payments shall be offset by any
                           amounts the Company pays to the Executive as annual
                           salary or bonus for his services during the thirty
                           day notice period following the date the Notice of
                           Termination was given, but shall not be offset by
                           any amounts Executive may receive as compensation
                           for services he performs for any other employer
                           after his employment with the Company terminates.

                  (ii)     In addition to these termination payments, Executive
                           shall be entitled to receive a pro rata annual bonus
                           from the Company for the fiscal year which includes
                           the date of termination, calculated by determining
                           the performance bonus earned for the fiscal year
                           which includes the date of

                                       5
<PAGE>   6

                           termination, based on the extent to which the
                           Company actually satisfies the relevant financial
                           performance targets for the fiscal year by the end
                           of such fiscal year, and multiplying this amount by
                           a percentage equal to the ratio of the number of
                           days worked by Executive during the fiscal year of
                           the termination to the total number of work days
                           during such fiscal year. This pro rata bonus shall
                           be paid to Executive (subject to withholding of
                           applicable taxes) promptly after the end of the
                           fiscal year, once the H.R. Committee has certified
                           the Company's achievement of the relevant
                           performance targets.

                  (iii)    The Company shall continue to provide the Executive
                           and his wife with coverage under all medical,
                           hospitalization, life and other insurance benefits
                           being provided to Executive on the date the Notice
                           of Termination is given, for a period of up to
                           twenty-four (24) months after the date of
                           termination; provided that the Company shall have no
                           obligation to continue to provide Executive with
                           these benefits for any periods after the earlier of
                           (A) the expiration of the Employment Period, or (B)
                           the date Executive obtains comparable benefits (with
                           no significant pre-existing condition exclusions) as
                           a result of Executive's employment in a new
                           position.

                  (iv)     Any stock options awarded to Executive under any
                           stock option plan or scheme maintained by the
                           Company shall (A) if not previously vested,
                           immediately become fully vested and exercisable in
                           full, and (B) be deemed to be amended to permit
                           their exercise by Executive at any time during the
                           period of thirty-six (36) months following the date
                           of termination (but no later than the expiration of
                           any such stock option's original ten-year term),
                           subject to the Executive's adherence to the terms of
                           such non-competition, confidentiality and similar
                           restrictive covenants as the H.R. Committee may
                           require to be included in the relevant stock option
                           agreements.

                  (v)      The Executive shall also receive any vested benefits
                           payable to him under the terms of any deferred
                           compensation, retirement, incentive or other benefit
                           plan maintained by the Company, payable in
                           accordance with the terms of the applicable plan.

         (c)      If Executive's employment is terminated by the Company
                  for Cause, the amount Executive shall be entitled to receive
                  from the Company shall be limited to his base salary accrued
                  through the date of termination, any accrued but unpaid
                  vacation pay for the year of termination, any bonuses earned
                  but not previously

                  paid with respect to the fiscal year of the Company most
                  recently ended, and any vested benefits payable to Executive
                  under the terms of any deferred compensation, retirement,
                  stock option or other incentive plans maintained by the
                  Company.

         (d)      If Executive voluntarily terminates his employment by giving
                  Notice of Termination before the end of the Employment Period
                  (other than for Good Reason as defined in Section 10), or
                  retires at the end of the Employment Period, the amount
                  Executive shall be entitled to receive from the Company shall
                  be limited to his base salary accrued through the date of
                  termination, any accrued but unpaid vacation pay for the year
                  of termination, any bonus earned but not previously paid with

                  ended, and any other vested benefits payable to Executive
                  under the terms of any deferred compensation, retirement,
                  stock option or other incentive plans of the Company.

         (e)      All payments to Executive under this Section 9 shall be paid
                  by the Company, but in the event the Company should fail to
                  make any such payment when due, the Company, Danka Holding
                  Company and Danka Business Systems shall be jointly and
                  severally liable to Executive.

         (f)      Executive shall not be required to mitigate amounts or
                  benefits payable under this Employment Agreement by seeking

                  duties under this Employment Agreement as an employee and as
                  a result of which he shall have been unable to perform his

                  consecutive months.

                           which represents a demotion from such status, title,
                           position or responsibilities (including reporting

                           work responsibilities set forth in this Employment
                           Agreement or which are materially inconsistent with
                           the status, title, position or work responsibilities
                           of a chief financial officer of a United
                           Kingdom/United States publicly traded corporation;
                           or any removal of Executive from, or failure to

                  (ii)     the relocation of the principal office of the
                           Company or the reassignment of Executive to a
                           location more than thirty (30) miles from St.
                           Petersburg, Florida; or

                           incentive, bonus or other compensation plan in which
                           Executive participates, unless an equitable
                           arrangement (embodied in an ongoing substitute or
                           alternative plan) has been made with respect to the
                           failure to continue such plan, or the failure by the
                           Company to continue Executive's participation
                           therein, or any action by the Company which would
                           directly or indirectly materially reduce his
                           participation therein or reward opportunities
                           thereunder; provided, however, that Executive
                           continues to meet substantially all eligibility
                           requirements thereof; and further provided, that if
                           the terms of any incentive compensation plan assign
                           the H.R. Committee discretion to grant awards, any
                           exercise of such discretion by the H.R. Committee
                           that does not result in an award to Executive for a
                           relevant period shall not by itself constitute "Good
                           Reason"; or

                  (iv)     the failure by the Company to continue in effect any
                           employee benefit plan (including any medical,
                           hospitalization, life insurance, disability or other
                           group benefit plan in which Executive participates),
                           or any material fringe benefit or perquisite enjoyed
                           by him unless an equitable arrangement (embodied in
                           an ongoing substitute or alternative plan) has been
                           made with respect to the failure to continue such
                           plan, or the failure by the Company to continue
                           Executive's participation therein, or any action by
                           the Company which would directly or indirectly
                           materially reduce his participation therein or
                           reward opportunities thereunder, or the failure by
                           the Company to provide him with the benefits to
                           which he is entitled

                           under this Employment Agreement; provided, however,
                           that Executive continues to meet substantially all
                           eligibility requirements thereof; or

                  (v)      any other material breach by the Company of any
                           provision of this Employment Agreement; or

                  (vi)     any purported termination of Executive's employment
                           which is not effected pursuant to a Notice of
                           Termination satisfying the requirements of this
                           Employment Agreement, and for purposes of this
                           Employment Agreement, no such purported termination
                           shall be effective; or

                  (vii)    the failure of the Company to obtain a satisfactory
                           agreement from any successor or assignee of the
                           Company to assume and agree to perform this
                           Employment Agreement.

         (c)      Cause. For purposes of this Employment Agreement, "Cause"
                  shall mean and be limited to:

                  (i)      Executive being convicted of a felony (or entering a
                           guilty or nolo contendere plea to such a crime); or

                  (ii)     Executive being convicted of any lesser crime
                           committed in connection with the performance of his
                           duties hereunder involving fraud or moral turpitude;
                           or

                  (iii)    the intentional and willful failure by Executive to
                           substantially perform his duties in accordance with
                           Section 2 herein (other than any such failure
                           resulting from Executive's incapacity due to
                           physical or mental Disability) after a written
                           demand for substantial performance is made on
                           Executive by the Company and such failure continues
                           after Executive shall have had reasonable
                           opportunity to correct the acts or omissions so
                           complained of.

         (d)      Notice of Termination. "Notice of Termination" shall mean a
                  written notice which shall indicate the specific termination
                  provision in this Employment Agreement relied upon and shall
                  set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances
                  claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive's
                  employment under the provision so indicated; provided,
                  however, no such purported termination shall be effective
                  without such Notice of Termination; provided further,
                  however, any purported termination by the Company or by
                  Executive shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination to
                  the other party hereto in accordance with Section 13 of this
                  Employment Agreement.

11.      DEATH. Upon Executive's death during the Employment Period, this
Employment Agreement shall terminate immediately upon the date of Executive's
death, provided that the Company shall:

         (a)      Pay to Executive's estate Executive's base salary accrued
                  through the date of death, accrued but unpaid vacation pay
                  for the year of death, any bonus earned but unpaid with
                  respect to periods prior to the date of death, and a pro rata
                  bonus for the fiscal year which includes the date of death,
                  calculated by multiplying the performance bonus payable for
                  the fiscal year, based on the Company's actual satisfaction
                  of its performance goals for the year, by a percentage equal
                  to the ratio of the number of days Executive worked prior to
                  his death to the total number of work days during the fiscal
                  year.

         (b)      Pay any death benefits owed in respect of Executive under the
                  terms of any life insurance plan, retirement or deferred
                  compensation plan, or other benefit plan of the Company, to
                  Executive's surviving spouse or such other beneficiary as
                  Executive has designated.

12.      NON-COMPETITION AND CONFIDENTIALITY. As used in this Section 12, the
term "Restricted Area" shall mean, during the Employment Period, and during the
twenty-four (24) months following the termination of Executive's employment
hereunder for any reason specified in the Employment Agreement, the entire
world. During the Employment Period and for a period of twenty-four months
following the termination of Executive's employment hereunder for any reason
specified in the Employment Agreement, Executive shall not, in the Restricted
Area, directly or indirectly, enter the employ of, or render any services to,
any person, firm or corporation engaged in any business competitive with the
businesses engaged in by the Company, any constituent partners of the Company
or any of their respective parents, subsidiaries or affiliates; further,
Executive shall not engage in such business, directly or indirectly, as an
individual, partner, shareholder, director, officer, principal, agent,
employee, trustee, consultant, or any other relationship or capacity; provided,
however, that nothing contained in this Section 12 shall be deemed to prohibit
Executive from acquiring, solely as an investment, a less than one percent
interest in the equity of any publicly traded corporation or limited
partnership.

         Executive, except within the course of the performance of his duties
hereunder, shall not at any time while he is in the employ of the Company, any
constituent partner of the Company or any of their respective parents,
subsidiaries, or affiliates and for 24 months thereafter (i) employ any
individual who is then employed by the Company, any constituent partner of the
Company or any of their respective parents, subsidiaries, or 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.

                                      10
<PAGE>   11

         Executive's services are unique and any breach or threatened breach by
Executive of any provision of this Section 12 shall cause the Company
irreparable harm which cannot be remedied solely by damages. In the event of a
breach or threatened breach by Executive of any of the provisions of this
Section 12, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief restraining
Executive and any business, firm, partnership, individual, corporation or
entity participating in such breach or threatened breach. Nothing herein shall
be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies
available at law or in equity in the event of such breach or threatened breach,
including the recovery of damages and the immediate termination of the
employment of Executive hereunder.

         If any of the provisions of or covenants contained in this Section 12
are hereafter construed to be invalid 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 12 shall at all times
remain in full force and effect.

13.      NOTICES. For the purposes of this Employment Agreement, notices and
all other communications provided for in the Employment Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered
or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or by
expedited (overnight) courier with established national reputation, shipping
prepaid or billed to sender, in either case addressed to the respective
addresses last given by each party to the other (provided that all notices to
the Company shall be directed to the attention of the Board with a copy to the
Secretary of the Company) or to such other address as either party may have
furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith. All notices and
communication shall be deemed to have been received on the date of delivery
thereof, on the third business day after the mailing thereof, or on the second
day after deposit thereof with an expedited courier service, except that notice
of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

14.      SUCCESSORS. This Employment Agreement shall be binding on the Company
and any successor to any of its businesses or to a substantial fraction of its
business assets. Without limiting the effect of the prior sentence, the Company
shall use its best efforts to require any successor or assigns (whether direct
or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly
assume and agree to perform this Employment Agreement in the same manner and to
the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such
succession or assignment had taken place. As used in this Employment Agreement,
"Company" shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor or
assignee to its business and/or a substantial fraction of its assets as
aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Employment Agreement or
which is otherwise obligated under this Employment Agreement, by operation of
law or otherwise.

15.      BINDING EFFECT. This Employment Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of and be enforceable by Executive's personal and legal representatives,
executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and
legatees. If Executive should die while any amounts would still be payable to
him hereunder if he had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise
provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Employment
Agreement to Executive's estate.

16.      MODIFICATION AND WAIVER. No provision of this Employment Agreement may
be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge
is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and such officer of the Company
as may be specifically designated by the Board. No waiver by either party
hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance
with, any condition or provision of this Employment Agreement to be performed
by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar
provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.

17.      HEADINGS. Headings used in this Employment Agreement are for
convenience only and shall not be used to interpret or construe its provisions.

18.      WAIVER OF BREACH. The waiver of either the Company or Executive of a
breach of any provision of this Employment Agreement shall not operate or be
construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by either the Company or
Executive.

19.      AMENDMENTS. No amendments or variations of the terms and conditions of
this Employment Agreement shall be valid unless the same is in writing and
signed by all of the parties hereto.

20.      SEVERABILITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of
this Employment Agreement, whether in whole or in part, shall not in any way
affect the validity and/or enforceability of any other provision herein
contained. Any invalid or unenforceable provision shall be deemed severable to
the extent of any such invalidity or unenforceability.

21.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT. Except for the Change of Control Agreement and the
options, special cash bonus and provision regarding repayment of relocation
expenses in the event Executive voluntarily leaves the employment of the
Company prior to August 1, 2000, as provided for in the Prior Employment
Agreement, this Employment Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and
understanding of the Company and Executive in respect of the terms and
conditions of Executive's employment after the Commencement Date, and
supersedes all prior employment agreements, covenants or representations or
warranties, whether oral or written, made by the parties, or any representative
of the Company, with respect to such terms and conditions of employment.

this Employment Agreement or any transactions provided for herein, or the
breach thereof, other than a claim for injunctive relief shall be settled by
arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association (the "Rules") in effect at the time demand for
arbitration is made by any party. One arbitrator shall be named by the Company,

agreed upon, he or she shall be named by the American Arbitration Association.

                                    RECITALS

         WHEREAS, HTE loaned DSI $1,750,000, pursuant to DSI's promissory note
dated October 31, 1999, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit "A" hereto ("DSI
Note"); and

         WHEREAS, the DSI Note provides for payment of principal in the amount
of $200,000, plus interest accrued at the annual rate of 8%, by DSI to HTE on
October 31, 2000 ("DSI 10-31-00 Note Payment"); and

         WHEREAS, DSI has requested that HTE defer payment of the DSI 10-31-00
Note Payment and accept in satisfaction of the DSI 10-31-00 Note Payment certain
securities of DSI, when issued, rather than a cash payment of such obligation;
and

         WHEREAS, HTE has evaluated DSI's request and has determined that HTE's
interest will be best served by accepting such modified payment terms for the
DSI Note, provided the interest rate for the DSI Note is increased from 8% to
10% and DSI pays HTE a one-time modification fee of $10,000.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements
set forth herein, HTE and DSI agree as follows:

                  1. INCREASE IN INTEREST RATE. Effective November 1, 2000, the
interest rate for the DSI Note shall be increased from 8% to 10% per annum.

                  2. DEFERRAL OF DSI 10-31-00 NOTE PAYMENT. HTE hereby extends
and defers until October 30, 2001, the payment of the DSI 10-31-00 Note Payment.

                  3. MODIFICATION FEE. On or before January 15, 2001, DSI shall
pay to HTE a modification fee of $10,000.

                  4. PAYMENT WITH NEWLY ISSUED SECURITIES. In the event DSI
issues prior to October 31, 2001 a new equity security ("New DSI Security") in a
third-party transaction in which equity capital in excess of $3,000,000 is
raised for DSI ("Third Party Financing"), HTE agrees to accept from DSI, and DSI
agrees to issue to HTE, within 30 days of the Third Party Financing, in full and
complete satisfaction of the DSI 10-31-00 Note Payment the New DSI Security of
equivalent fair market value. The fair market value of the New DSI Security
issued to HTE shall be deemed to be equal to the face or par value of such
security as issued in the Third Party Financing.

                  5. CONTINGENT CASH PAYMENT. In the event DSI does not issue
the New DSI Security in a Third Party Financing prior to October 31, 2001, DSI
shall pay in cash to HTE by October 31, 2001, the DSI 10-31-00 Note Payment,
plus all additional accrued interest due as a result of the deferral hereunder
of payment of the DSI 10-31-00 Note Payment.
