THIRD AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT AND THIRD AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), is dated effective as of November 26, 2008, and is entered into by and between DELPHAX TECHNOLOGIES CANADA LIMITED, an Ontario corporation (the "Borrower"), and SCANTRON CANADA LTD. (the "Lender").

RECITALS

The Borrower and Wells Fargo Financial Corporation Canada ("Wells Fargo") were parties to a Credit and Security Agreement dated September 10, 2007, as amended by a First Amendment to Credit and Security Agreement dated as of February 28, 2008 and a Second 

Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of July 7, 2008 (as amended from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement unless otherwise specified, and references to Sections refer to Sections of the Credit Agreement.

On or about August 7, 2008, the Lender acquired the Indebtedness of the Borrower to Wells Fargo and all of Wells Fargo's rights and interests under the Loan Documents.

Various Events of Default have occurred under the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents, as more fully described in the forbearance letters from Lender to Borrower dated September 5, 2008, September 23, 2008 and October 3, 2008 (the "Specified Defaults").  Pursuant to these forbearance letters and the letter agreements by and between Lender and Borrower dated October 17, 2008, October 31, 2008 and November 14, 2008 Lender agreed to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies with respect to the Specified Defaults through October 31, 2008. 

Parent has delivered to Lender its certified projections for its 2009 fiscal year, and Borrower and Lender have been negotiating mutually agreeable Financial Covenants for Borrower's 2009 fiscal year for the US Loan Documents and Credit Agreement.

Borrower has requested that certain amendments be made to the Credit Agreement and that Lender continue to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies with respect to the Specified Defaults in order to allow Borrower to address the Specified Defaults and other business issues.  Lender is willing to make such changes and continue to forbear subject and pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, it is agreed as follows:

	Acknowledgements.  Borrower acknowledges that:

	As of November 25, 2008, the Indebtedness totaled $3,366.531.54, exclusive of accrued but unpaid interest and other costs and fees provided for in the Credit Agreement;

	All of the Indebtedness is due Lender without setoff, defense or counterclaim, in law or in equity, of any kind or nature;

	The Indebtedness is secured by valid, properly perfected first priority liens and security interests in favor of Lender in all of Borrower's personal property and assets;

	As a result of the Specified Defaults (in the absence of the Forbearance Period provided for in this Agreement), Lender has the right, without further notice, to accelerate the Indebtedness, demand payment in full and enforce its rights under the Loan Documents; and

	Lender has duly performed all of its obligations under the Credit Agreement and Loan Documents and, in the absence of the Forbearance Period provided for in this Agreement, Lender would have no obligation to continue financing Borrower or to forbear from enforcing its rights under the Credit Agreement, the Loan Documents and applicable law.

	Forbearance Period.  Subject to the following conditions, Lender agrees to forbear from enforcing its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents with respect to the Specified Defaults through the date upon which Lender has received and accepted all of the parts ordered by Lender under that certain parts purchase order identified by P.O. 4500172179 issued on August 22, 2008 by Lender to Parent (the "Parts Order") (the "Forbearance Period"):

	There are no further or additional Events of Default under the Credit Agreement;

	Simultaneous with providing originally executed copies of this Agreement, Borrower provides fully executed originals of all certificates and reaffirmations hereto, along with complete copies of the October 22, 2001 Shareholders' Declaration and any other documents or agreements regarding shareholders' rights; and

	Borrower complies with all terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby) and the Loan Documents.

Upon the occurrence of any additional or further Events of Default or of a default under this Agreement, Lender may, at its option and without further notice, terminate the Forbearance Period and exercise all rights and remedies available under the Credit Agreement, the Loan Documents and applicable law and all of the Indebtedness will immediately become due and payable upon the expiration or termination of the Forbearance Period.  However, if no further or additional defaults or Events of Default (including, without limitation, recurrence of the Specified Defaults) have occurred under the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents prior to the date upon which Lender has received and accepted all of the parts ordered by Lender under the Parts Order, then all of the Specified Defaults shall be deemed to be waived effective as of that date.

SECOND AMENDMENT

TO 

SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT 

This Second Amendment (the "Amendment") is made as of November 26, 2008 to amend the Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 26, 2007, as previously amended by a First Amendment dated September 10, 2007 (as then, now and hereafter amended, the "Securities Purchase Agreement") that was entered into by and among Delphax Technologies Inc. ("Delphax"), Delphax Technologies Canada Limited ("Delphax Canada") and Whitebox Delphax, Ltd. ("Whitebox").  The rights and interests of Whitebox under the Securities Purchase Agreement have been assigned by means of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated August 14, 2008 (the "Assignment Agreement") to Harland Clarke Corp. ("Harland Clarke").  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Recitals

A.Prior to the Assignment Agreement, Whitebox had alleged that Delphax was in default (i) under the Registration Rights Agreement as a result of Delphax common stock not being listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market and that Delphax was subject to monthly penalty payments under the Registration Rights Agreement, and (ii) under Section 4.7 of the Securities Purchase Agreement as a result of Delphax common stock not being listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market.  

B.At the time of the Assignment Agreement, Delphax and Whitebox terminated the Registration Rights Agreement and terminated the Warrants issued under the Securities Purchase Agreement.  

C.Delphax, Delphax Canada and Harland Clarke wish to provide for the issuance of an amended and restated promissory note to Harland Clarke in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A to constitute the "Notes" referred to in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

In consideration of the foregoing, the parties agree as follows:

Agreement

1.Issuance of Amended and Restated Note.  Upon execution of this Amendment, Delphax Canada shall execute and deliver to Harland Clarke the Amended and Restated Promissory Note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, which shall constitute the "Note" or "Notes" for purposes of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.  Harland Clarke shall constitute the "Investors" referred to in the Securities Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, as successor in interest to Whitebox.

2.Computation of Quarterly Interest Payments.  The parties agree that the amount of the quarterly interest due under the Notes shall be computed by multiplying 12% by the outstanding principal amount of the Notes, and dividing that product by four, such that if the outstanding principal amount is $7,000,000 the quarterly interest payment shall be $840,000 divided by 4 or $210,000. With respect to the quarterly interest payment that was due on September 1, 2008, Harland Clarke has waived three percentage points of the interest with respect to that quarterly interest payment only, and Delphax Canada and Delphax agree that the remainder of that quarterly interest payment, namely $157,500, shall be paid in cash by Delphax Canada to Harland Clarke on December 1, 2008.  

3.Deletion of References to Warrants and Registration Rights Agreement. The Securities Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting (i) in Article X thereof the defined terms "Warrants" and the "Registration Rights Agreement", and (ii) those capitalized terms where they appear elsewhere as defined terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. 

4.SEC Registration of Delphax Common Stock.  Harland Clarke has previously waived the provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement requiring Delphax to maintain the registration of its common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Harland Clarke agrees that Sections 4.3 and 4.7 of the Securities Purchase Agreement shall have no further force or effect unless Delphax registers its common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the future.  

5.Amendment of Tax Provision.  Section 1.7 of the Securities Purchase Agreement is hereby amended as follows:  (a)  Section 1.7(a), (c) and (d) are amended by deleting the words "Indemnified Taxes or" each place that they appear.  Further, Section 1.7(a) is amended by changing the words "Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes)" appearing at the end of the fourth line to instead read "Other Taxes".

6.Waivers.    Harland Clarke hereby waives and agrees to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents or applicable law with respect to (i) any Event of Default on the basis of any breach of the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrants, (ii) any breach of Sections 4.3 or 4.7 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, and (iii) the payment of the interest payment due September 1, 2008, provided that such interest is paid as provided in Section 2. 

   

7.Address for Notices.  For purposes of all Transaction Documents, Investors' address for notice purposes will be:

10931 Laureate Drive

San Antonio, TX  78249

Attention:  Chief Financial Officer

8.Reaffirmation.  Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, the terms and provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement, as amended hereby, are ratified and confirmed.  To the extent that there is any conflict between this Amendment and the Securities Purchase Agreement, this Amendment shall govern.

9.Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed and delivered by facsimile signature in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, and all of which will constitute the same agreement.  Facsimile and electronic copies of signatures shall be treated as original signatures for all purposes.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have caused this Second Amendment to be duly executed as of the date first above written.
