      AMENDMENT
        NO. 1 TO CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

       

      AMENDMENT
        NO. 1 dated as of November 20, 2007 (this “Amendment”), to the CONFIDENTIALITY
        AGREEMENT (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) dated as of October 12, 2007,
        between  IKON Office Solutions, Inc., an Ohio corporation, and Steel
        Partners II, L.P.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have
        the meanings ascribed thereto in the Confidentiality Agreement.

       

      WHEREAS,
        the Parties to the Confidentiality Agreement wish to amend certain provisions
        of
        the Confidentiality Agreement as set forth in this Amendment.

       

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

       

      1.  The
        Parties agree that the sixth paragraph of the Confidentiality Agreement starting
        with “The Interested Party further agrees...” and ending with “not earlier than
        December 1, 2007” is hereby amended and replaced with the following six
        paragraphs:

       

      “The
        Interested Party further agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its
        affiliates not to, prior to May 19, 2009, directly or indirectly, alone or
        in
        concert with others or in any other manner: (1) acquire, agree to acquire,
        or
        make any proposal to acquire any securities or assets of the Disclosing Party
        (other than assets transferred in the ordinary course of its business), acquire
        “beneficial ownership” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities
        Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of any equity securities
        of the Disclosing Party, or acquire any economic long position in voting
        securities of the Disclosing Party through the purchase of any equity derivative
        contract, (2) except at the specific written request of the Disclosing Party,
        propose to enter into, directly or indirectly, any merger, consolidation,
        share
        exchange, recapitalization, business combination or similar transaction
        involving the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries, (3) solicit proxies
        or consents from shareholders of the Disclosing Party (whether or not such
        solicitation is subject to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act) or otherwise
        acquire voting power with respect to any equity securities of the Disclosing
        Party, (4) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (within the meaning
        of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any voting securities
        of the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries, (5) propose any person
        for
        nomination or election as a director of the Disclosing Party or otherwise
        seek
        to include any matter for consideration at a meeting of shareholders of the
        Disclosing Party, (6) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to
        seek to
        control or influence the management, the board of directors or policies of
        the
        Disclosing Party, including by communicating with the board of directors
        of the
        Disclosing Party, management, employees or shareholders of the Disclosing
        Party
        to the effect that the board of directors of the Disclosing Party should
        engage
        in a strategic transaction or recapitalization transaction or otherwise with
        respect to potential material transactions or changes in corporate strategy
        or
        corporate governance, (7) request a waiver or amendment of this paragraph,
        (8) take any action that would reasonably be expected to require the
        Disclosing Party to make any announcement regarding any of the foregoing,
        (9)
        disclose any intention, plan or arrangement inconsistent with the foregoing,
        or
        (10) assist, advise or encourage any other person in doing any of the foregoing;
        provided, however, that (i) the restrictions contained in
        this paragraph shall not apply to (A) any proposal by the Interested Party
        to acquire any securities or assets of the Disclosing Party made to
        the board of directors of the Disclosing Party only after the board
        has publicly announced a determination to solicit offers or proposals
        for the purchase of all or a material portion of the securities or
        assets of the Disclosing Party; (B) any bona fide proposal by the
        Interested Party to acquire more than 25% of the Disclosing Party’s common
        stock (the “Common Stock”) made to the board of directors of the Disclosing
        Party in response to a public unsolicited offer or proposal by a third
        party unaffiliated with the Interested Party (and not acting in concert
        with the Interested Party) to acquire more than 25% of the Common Stock
        or more than 25% of the Disclosing Party’s consolidated total
        non-current assets, unless such unsolicited offer or proposal is publicly
        opposed by the Disclosing Party within 20 days of its public disclosure; or
        (C) any announcement or activities of the Interested Party in support of or
        in opposition to any proposal for consideration by the shareholders of
        the Disclosing Party at any meeting of shareholders or by written consent
        of shareholders of the Disclosing Party that has been proposed by the
        board of directors or management of the Disclosing Party; and (ii) in
        response to an public unsolicited offer or proposal by a third party
        unaffiliated with the Interested Party (and not acting in concert with the
        Interested Party), other than a current shareholder of the Disclosing
        Party, to acquire more than 25% of the Common Stock or more than 25% of
        the Disclosing Party’s consolidated total non-current assets or any
        proposal for consideration by the shareholders of the Disclosing Party at
        any meeting of shareholders or by written consent of shareholders of
        the Disclosing Party that has been proposed by any third party
        unaffiliated with the Interested Party (and not acting in concert with the
        Interested Party), other than a current shareholder of the Disclosing
        Party, the Interested Party may make public statements as to whether it is
        or is not in favor of such offer or proposal or as to how it intends to vote
        with respect to such proposal, as applicable.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      Notwithstanding
        anything herein to the contrary, the restrictions contained in the immediately
        preceding paragraph shall terminate on the earliest of
        (1) November 26, 2007, if on that date the Disclosing Party has not
“commenced” (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2(a) of the Exchange Act) a
        Recapitalization Transaction that consists of an equity self-tender offer
        in
        which the Disclosing Party offered to repurchase at least $295,000,000 of
        the
        Common Stock using a so-called “modified Dutch auction” structure with a pricing
        range of $13.00 to $15.00 per share (a “Qualified Recapitalization
        Transaction”), (2) December 31, 2007, if on that date the Disclosing
        Party has not completed a Qualified Recapitalization Transaction, unless
        (A) on December 31, 2007, the only conditions to such offer that
        remain unsatisfied are any conditions relating to receipt of necessary consents
        from existing debtholders and funding of the Disclosing Party’s financing, and
        (B) the Disclosing Party reasonably believes, and can reasonably
        demonstrate to the Interested Party the likelihood that, such offer will
        be
        consummated by January 15, 2008, (3) January 15, 2008, if on that
        date the Disclosing Party has not completed a Qualified Recapitalization
        Transaction, (4) September 30, 2008, if between November 19, 2007 and that
        date
        the Disclosing Party has not repurchased Common Stock with an aggregate purchase
        price (including brokers’ fees and commissions) of at least $500,000,000, unless
        the primary reason for the aggregate repurchases being less than $500,000,000
        is
        that the beneficial ownership of Common Stock by a particular shareholder
        (other
        than State Street Bank and Trust Company) has been during such period
        sufficiently high as to impair the ability of the Disclosing Party to repurchase
        Common Stock without causing such shareholder to exceed 14.9% of the outstanding
        Common Stock, and (5) March 31, 2008, unless by that date the Disclosing
        Party
        has notified the Interested Party that the Disclosing Party has financing,
        on
        terms reasonably satisfactory to the Disclosing Party, that together with
        cash
        on hand will be sufficient to finance the repurchase by the Disclosing Party
        of
        an additional $205,000,000 of Common Stock and (if necessary) to refinance
        the
        Disclosing Party’s existing 7.75% Notes due 2015.  The Interested
        Party shall have no obligation to tender into a Qualified Recapitalization
        Transaction.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          2

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      Until
        the
        termination of the restrictions in the second preceding paragraph, the
        Disclosing Party shall not amend its Articles of Incorporation or Code of
        Regulations to restrict the ability of its shareholders to nominate candidates
        for elections as directors of the Disclosing Party.

       

      As
        soon
        as practicable following the completion of a Qualified Recapitalization
        Transaction, the Disclosing Party shall implement a plan for the repurchase
        of
        shares of Common Stock with an aggregate purchase price equal to $500,000,000
        less the amount purchased in the Qualified Recapitalization Transaction (the
        “Repurchase Balance”).  Such repurchases may be pursuant to one or
        more additional equity self-tender offers, accelerated stock repurchase programs
        or open market share repurchase programs under Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange
        Act (“Rule 10b-18 Programs”) or a combination thereof.   To
        the extent the Disclosing Party elects to repurchase Common Stock pursuant
        to
        Rule 10b-18 Programs, after April 1, 2008, the Disclosing Party shall use
        commercially reasonable best efforts to repurchase the maximum number of
        shares
        of Common Stock allowable on a daily basis (and shall purchase at least 75%
        of
        such maximum on a weekly basis), at the then prevailing market prices for
        the
        shares, under the manner, timing, price and volume guidelines of
        Rule 10b-18(b) of the Exchange Act.  The Disclosing Party shall
        not be required to repurchase Common Stock pursuant to any Rule 10b-18
        Program (1) at a price greater than $17.50 per share (or such other limit
        as the Disclosing Party and the Interested Party may agree from time to time),
        (2) on any trading day on which there is a substantial market disruption,
        (3) if such repurchase would, in the view of counsel to the Disclosing
        Party, raise a substantial risk of violation of law or non-compliance with
        the
        terms of the Disclosing Party’s existing indebtedness or (4) if such
        repurchase would result in the Interested Party or any other person (other
        than
        State Street Bank and Trust Company) beneficially owning more than 14.9%
        of the
        outstanding Common Stock.  To the extent the Disclosing Party suspends
        its repurchase of Common Stock under any Rule 10b-18 Program, the Disclosing
        Party will promptly notify the Interested Party of such suspension and specify
        which subsection in the immediately preceding sentence the Disclosing Party
        is
        relying on in suspending such repurchase.  The Disclosing Party shall
        notify the Interested Party promptly after the close of trading on the last
        trading day of each month during the pendency of any Rule 10b-18 Program
        the
        total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the end of that month
        and
        the dollar value of the Repurchase Balance less the aggregate purchase price
        of
        the Common Stock repurchased by the Disclosing Party pursuant to this paragraph
        at the end of that month.  For purposes of this paragraph, the
        allowable purchases of Common Stock shall be determined without regard to
        the
“however” clause in Rule 10b-18(b)(4).

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          3

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      If
        a
        tender offer that constitutes a Qualified Recapitalization Transaction expires
        on or before January 15, 2008, the Disclosing Party will promptly notify
        the
        Interested Party of the number of shares of the Common Stock to be repurchased,
        the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such repurchase and
        the
        pro-ration factor, if applicable, and the Interested Party shall sell a number
        of shares of Common Stock sufficient to reduce the aggregate beneficial
        ownership of shares of Common Stock by the Interested Party and its affiliates
        to below 14.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (taking into account
        the consummation of the Qualified Recapitalization Transaction).  Any
        sales required to be executed by the Interested Party pursuant to the
        immediately preceding sentence shall be executed through the facilities of
        the
        New York Stock Exchange no later than the close of trading on the second
        complete trading day immediately following such notification (and, for purposes
        of determining two complete trading days, if the notification is given prior
        to
        9:30 a.m. (New York time) on a trading day, such trading day shall
        constitute the first of the two complete trading days).

       

      The
        Disclosing Party agrees that the next meeting of shareholders of the Disclosing
        Party held for the purpose of electing directors shall not be held prior
        to
        February 21, 2008 and that the deadline for the shareholders of the Disclosing
        Party to submit to the Secretary of the Disclosing Party nominations for
        the
        election of directors at such meeting shall be not earlier than December
        1,
        2007.”

       

      2.  In
        connection with the execution of this Amendment, the Disclosing Party shall
        issue a press release (the “Press Release”), substantially in the form attached
        hereto as Exhibit A.  The Disclosing Party shall promptly file
        with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form 8-K disclosing the material
        contents of this Amendment and including as an exhibit thereto an executed
        copy
        of this Amendment, together with the Press Release.

       

      3.  The
        Interested Party will be permitted, without prior notice or consultation
        with
        the Disclosing Party and its legal counsel, to file with the Securities and
        Exchange Commission an amendment to its Schedule 13D with respect to the
        securities of the Disclosing Party disclosing the material contents of this
        Amendment and including as an exhibit thereto an executed copy of this
        Amendment.  The Interested Party may also issue its own press release
        with respect to this Amendment.

       

      4.  This
        Amendment shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance
        with,
        the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of laws
        principles thereof.  Each Party hereby consents to the exclusive
        jurisdiction of any Federal court or state court located in the Borough of
        Manhattan in the City of New York. Each Party hereby waives any right to
        a trial
        by jury of any dispute arising under or relating to this Amendment.

      5.  Except
        as
        expressly set forth herein, the Confidentiality Agreement remains in full
        force
        and effect.

       

      IN
        WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Amendment No.
        1  to Confidentiality Agreement as of the date first written
        above.

    Attention:
      Mr. Robert F. Woods, Chief Financial Officer

     

    Dear
      Mr.
      Woods:

     

    This
      commitment letter agreement (together with all exhibits and schedules hereto,
      the “Commitment Letter”) will confirm the
      understanding and agreement among Wachovia Investment Holdings, LLC
      (“Wachovia Investments”) and Wachovia Capital Markets,

      and IKON
      Office Solutions, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the

      the Company

      (the
“Tender Offer”) for an aggregate purchase price not to
      exceed $295.0 million.  The date on which the Tender Offer is
      consummated is referred to as the “Closing
      Date.”

     

    You
      have
      advised us that the total funds needed to finance the Tender Offer (including
      fees and expenses) will be approximately $300.0 million and that such funds
      will
      be provided from the following sources:

    1.  The
      Commitment.

     

    (a)  You
      have
      requested that Wachovia Investments commit to purchase the entire amount of
      the
      Notes upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth or referred to
      in
      this Commitment Letter and the exhibits hereto.

     

    (b)  Based
      on
      the foregoing, Wachovia Investments, acting alone or through or with affiliates
      selected by it, is pleased to confirm to you its commitment to purchase the
      Notes on the principal terms set forth herein, in the Fee Letter (as defined
      below) and in the Funding Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit C (the
“Commitment”), pursuant to (i) a purchase agreement
      (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) which shall be
      substantially identical, except as set forth on Exhibit B hereto, to the
      purchase agreement by and among the Company and the initial purchasers party
      thereto dated as of September 16, 2005 (the “Existing 2015 Purchase
      Agreement”), and (ii) an indenture (the
“Indenture”) which shall be substantially identical,
      except as set forth on Exhibit A hereto, to the indenture by and among the
      Company and The Bank of New York, as trustee, dated as of September 21, 2005
      (the “Existing 2015 Indenture” and, together with
      the Existing 2015 Purchase Agreement, the
      Existing 2015 Notes and other related documentation, the “Existing
      2015 Note Documentation”).  Without limiting the
      Commitment, the Notes may be converted to term loans pursuant to the terms
      of
      Section 9 of this Commitment Letter.

     

    (c)  It
      is
      agreed that Wachovia Securities, acting alone or through or with affiliates
      selected by it, will act as the sole book-runner and sole lead arranger (acting
      in such roles, the “Arranger”) for the
      Notes.  The Arranger will have the rights and authority customarily
      given to financial institutions in such roles, but the Wachovia Parties will
      have no duties other than those expressly set forth herein.  You agree
      that no other arrangers or book-runners will be appointed, no other titles
      will
      be awarded and no compensation (other than that expressly contemplated by the
      terms hereof or the Fee Letter referred to below) will be paid in connection
      with the sale of the Notes unless you and we so agree.  In addition,
      Wachovia Securities has delivered to you a separate engagement letter dated
      the
      date hereof (the “Engagement Letter”) setting forth,
      among other things, the roles of Wachovia Securities in connection with certain
      transactions as described therein.

     

    (d)  The
      commitments and agreements of the Wachovia Parties described herein are subject
      to:

     

    (i)           there
      not having occurred any event, development or circumstance since June 30, 2007
      (the date of the most recent unaudited financial statements delivered to the
      Arranger as of the date hereof) that has caused or would reasonably be expected
      to cause any material adverse change in or affecting the business, condition
      (financial or otherwise), results of operations, assets or liabilities of the
      Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole;

     

    (ii)           not
      less than 14 consecutive days prior to the Closing Date, the Company will have
      provided to the Arranger an offering memorandum including information customary
      for high yield offering memoranda to be used in connection with the offering
      of
      the Notes; and

     

    (iii)           the
      other conditions set forth below or referred to in the Funding Conditions
      attached hereto as Exhibit B.

     

    2.  Fees
      and Expenses.  In consideration of the execution and delivery of
      this Commitment Letter by the Wachovia Parties, you agree to pay the fees and
      expenses set forth in the Fee Letter dated the date hereof (the “Fee
      Letter”) as and when payable in accordance with the terms
      thereof.

    3.  Indemnification.

     

    (a)  The
      Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Wachovia
      Parties and each of their respective affiliates and all their respective
      officers, directors, partners, trustees, employees, shareholders, advisors,
      agents, attorneys and controlling persons and each of their respective heirs,
      successors and assigns (each, an “Indemnified Person”)
      from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities to which
      any Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of or in connection with
      this Commitment Letter, the Note Documentation, the Notes, the use of the
      proceeds therefrom, any of the other transactions contemplated by this
      Commitment Letter (including, without limitation, any Term Loan Conversion
      and
      any documentation related thereto), any other transaction related thereto or
      any
      claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
      regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto, and to
      reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly upon demand for all legal and other
      expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating, preparing
      to defend or defending, or providing evidence in or preparing to serve or
      serving as a witness with respect to, any lawsuit, investigation, claim or
      other
      proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (including, without limitation,
      in
      connection with the enforcement of the indemnification obligations set forth
      herein); provided, however, that no Indemnified Person will be entitled
      to indemnity hereunder in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or
      expense to the extent that it is found by a final, non-appealable judgment
      of a
      court of competent jurisdiction that such loss, claim, damage, liability or
      expense (i) resulted directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
      of
      such Indemnified Person or (ii) resulted from a claim brought by the Company
      against an Indemnified Person for breach in bad faith of such Indemnified
      Person’s obligations hereunder.  In no event will any Indemnified
      Person be liable on any theory of liability for indirect, special or
      consequential damages, lost profits or punitive damages as a result of any
      failure to purchase any of the Notes contemplated hereby or otherwise in
      connection with the Notes.  No Indemnified Person will be liable for
      any damages arising from the use by unauthorized persons of information,
      projections or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications
      or
      other information transmission systems that are intercepted by unauthorized
      persons.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Persons’
right to indemnification in respect to the Tender Offer shall be solely as
      set
      forth in the dealer-manager agreement relating thereto.

     

    (b)  The
      Company and the Wachovia Parties agree that if any indemnification or
      reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 3 is judicially determined to
      be
      unavailable for a reason other than the gross negligence or willful misconduct
      of such Indemnified Person or the breach in bad faith of an Indemnified Person’s
      obligations hereunder in connection with a claim brought by the Company against
      such Indemnified Person, then the Company will contribute to the amount paid
      or
      payable by the Wachovia Parties, as the case may be, as a result of such losses,
      claims, damages, liabilities and expenses for which such indemnification or
      reimbursement is held unavailable (i) in such proportion as is appropriate
      to
      reflect the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and the Wachovia
      Parties, as the case may be, on the other hand, in connection with the
      transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates, or (ii)
      if
      the allocation provided by clause (i) above is judicially determined not to
      be
      permitted, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative
      benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative faults of the Company,
      on the one hand, and the Wachovia Parties, on the other hand, as well as any
      other equitable considerations.

     

    4.  Expiration
      of Commitment.  The Commitment will expire at 10:00 p.m., New York
      City time, on November 20, 2007 unless on or prior to such time you have
      executed and returned to the Wachovia Parties a copy of this Commitment Letter
      and the Fee Letter.  If you do so execute and deliver to the Wachovia
      Parties this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter, Wachovia Investments agrees
      to hold its Commitment available for you until the earliest to occur of (i)
      the
      termination of the Tender Offer, (ii) the consummation of the Tender Offer
      with
      or without the purchase of the Notes and (iii) 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
      on
      January 18, 2008.

    5.  Confidentiality.

     

    (a)  This
      Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Engagement Letter and the terms and
      conditions contained herein and therein may not be disclosed by the Company
      to
      any person or entity (other than (i) to such of your officers, directors,
      employees, agents, representatives and advisors as need to know and agree to
      be
      bound by the provisions of this paragraph, (ii) to the extent required by

      applicable disclosure requirements in connection with the Tender Offer or the

      S&P in connection with obtaining the Ratings) without the prior written
      consent of the Wachovia Parties.

     

    (b)  The
      Wachovia Parties agree to keep confidential, and to cause their respective
      affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and advisors
      (collectively, the “Related Parties”) to keep
      confidential, any non-public information provided to them by or on behalf of
      the
      Company (the “Confidential Information”);
provided that such persons shall be permitted
      to disclose Confidential
      Information (i) to such of our Related Parties as need to know such Confidential
      Information and agree to be bound by the provisions of this paragraph; (ii)
      to
      the extent required by applicable law or compulsory legal process (in which
      case
      you agree to inform us promptly thereof to the extent lawfully permitted to
      do
      so); (iii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority having
      jurisdiction over the Wachovia Parties or any of their Related Parties; (iv)
      to
      the extent that such Confidential Information (A) becomes publicly available
      other than as a result of a breach of the Commitment Letter by the Wachovia
      Parties or any of their Related Parties, (B) becomes available to the Wachovia
      Parties or any of their Related Parties on a non-confidential basis from a
      source other than the Company, (C) was available to the Wachovia Parties or
      any
      of their Related Parties on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure
      by
      the Company; (v) to the extent that such information is independently developed
      by the Wachovia Parties; (vi) to actual or potential Purchasers, participants
      or
      assignees who have entered into customary confidentiality undertakings or (vii)
      with the prior written consent of the Company.

     

    (c)  You
      acknowledge that Wachovia Securities and its affiliates (the term
“Wachovia Securities,” when used in this paragraph,
      includes all such affiliates, including Wachovia Investments) may be providing
      debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory
      services) to other companies in respect of which you may have conflicting
      interests regarding the transactions described herein and
      otherwise.  Wachovia Securities will not use confidential information
      obtained from you by virtue of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment
      Letter or its other relationships with you in connection with the performance
      by
      Wachovia Securities of services for others, and Wachovia Securities will not
      furnish any such information to others.  You also acknowledge that
      Wachovia Securities has no obligation to use, in connection with the
      transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter, or to furnish to you,
      confidential information obtained from others.

     

    6.  Assignment
      and Syndication.

     

    (a)  The
      parties hereto agree that the Wachovia Parties will have the right to syndicate
      the Notes and the Commitment to one or more groups of financial institutions
      or
      other investors, identified by us and reasonably acceptable to you (together
      with Wachovia Investments, the
“Purchasers”).  The Arranger will have the
      right to manage all aspects of any such syndication, including decisions as
      to
      the selection of institutions to be approached and when they will be approached,
      the acceptance of commitments, the amounts offered, the amounts allocated and
      the compensation provided.  Upon notice by the Wachovia Parties, at
      any time and from time to time on or after the effective date hereof and on
      or
      prior to June 30, 2008, you will cooperate (and cause your affiliates to
      cooperate) with the Wachovia Parties in connection with the marketing, offering,
      sale and issuance of the Notes.  Such cooperation shall include,
      without limitation: (i) endeavoring to cause the syndication efforts to benefit
      from the existing investor and lending relationships of the Company; (ii)
      arranging for direct contact between senior management and other representatives
      of the Company and the proposed Purchasers (including, without limitation,
      participating in one or more customary “roadshows” with prospective investors,
      one-on-one meetings and conference calls); (iii) promptly preparing an offering
      memorandum relating to the Notes containing such disclosure (including financial
      information) as would be required by the Securities Act and other applicable
      laws for an offering registered under the Securities Act and such other
      disclosure as is customary and appropriate for such a document as reasonably
      determined by the Arranger; (iv) hosting, with the Wachovia Parties, one or
      more
      meetings of prospective Purchasers, and, in connection with any such Purchaser
      meeting, consulting with the Arranger with respect to the presentations to
      be
      made at any such meeting, and making available appropriate officers and
      representatives to rehearse such presentations prior to such meetings, as
      reasonably requested by the Arranger; and (v) at your expense, working with
      the
      Arranger to obtain a corporate family rating for the Company and ratings for
      the
      Notes from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”)
      and a corporate credit rating for the Company and ratings for the Notes from
      Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group (“S&P”) (such
      ratings referred to in this clause (v), the
“Ratings”), in the case of each of clauses (i) through
      (iv), prior to the commencement of the general syndication of the Notes, and
      in
      the case of clause (v), at the earliest practicable date.  It is
      understood and agreed that the Commitment hereunder is not subject to the
      successful syndication of the Notes.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (b)  To
      assist
      the Arranger in its syndication efforts, you agree promptly to prepare and
      provide to the Arranger such information with respect to the Company and its
      subsidiaries and the transactions contemplated hereby as it may reasonably
      request, including all financial information and projections as it may
      reasonably request, including a business plan for fiscal year 2008 through
      fiscal year 2011, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
      Arranger (the “Projections”).  You hereby
      represent and covenant that (i) all information other than the Projections
      (the
“Information”) that has been or will be made available
      to the Wachovia Parties by you or any of your representatives is or will be,
      when furnished, complete and correct in all material respects and does not
      or
      will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
      omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
      contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under
      which such statements are made and (ii) the Projections that have been or will
      be made available to the Wachovia Parties by you or any of your representatives
      have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon reasonable
      assumptions.  You further agree to update the Information and the
      Projections as of the Closing Date for the foregoing representations to be
      true
      as of such date.  You understand that in arranging and syndicating the
      Notes and the Commitment we may use and rely on the Information and Projections
      without independent verification thereof and that you will promptly notify
      us of
      any changes in circumstances that call into question in any material respect
      the
      continued reasonableness of any assumption underlying the
      Projections.

     

    (c)  To
      ensure
      an orderly and effective syndication of the Notes and the Commitment, you agree
      that, from the date hereof until the earlier of (i) the termination of the
      syndication of the Notes as determined by the Arranger and (ii) June 30, 2008,
      you will not, and will not permit any of your domestic subsidiaries to,
      syndicate or issue, attempt to syndicate or issue, announce or authorize the
      announcement of the syndication or issuance of, or initiate or pursue
      discussions with third parties concerning the syndication or issuance of, any
      debt facility or debt security of the Company or any of its domestic
      subsidiaries (other than the syndication of the Notes as contemplated hereby),
      including any renewals or refinancings of any existing debt facility, without
      the prior written consent of the Arranger (not to be unreasonably withheld,
      it
      being understood that you and we contemplate that one or more Engagement
      Transactions (as defined in the Engagement Letter) will be carried out prior
      to
      June 30, 2008).

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    7.  Survival.  The
      provisions of this Commitment Letter relating to the payment of fees and
      expenses, indemnification and contribution and confidentiality and the
      provisions of Section 8 hereof will survive the expiration or termination of
      the
      Commitment or this Commitment Letter (including any extensions) and the
      execution and delivery of the Note Documentation, and the provisions of Section
      6 hereof will survive the execution and delivery of the Note
      Documentation.

     

    8.  Choice
      of Law; Jurisdiction; Waivers.

     

    (a)  This
      Commitment Letter will be governed by and construed in accordance with the
      laws
      of the State of New York.  The Company hereby irrevocably submits to
      the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court
      sitting in the County of New York in respect of any suit, action or proceeding
      arising out of or relating to the provisions of this Commitment Letter, the
      Fee
      Letter or the Engagement Letter and irrevocably agrees that all claims in
      respect of any such suit, action or proceeding may be heard and determined
      in
      any such court.  The parties hereto hereby waive any objection that
      they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action
      or proceeding brought in any such court, and any claim that any such suit,
      action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an
      inconvenient forum.  The parties hereto hereby waive, to the
      fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right to trial by jury with
      respect to any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
      Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or the Engagement
      Letter.

     

    (b)  No
      Purchaser will be liable in any respect for any of the obligations or
      liabilities of any other Purchaser under this Commitment Letter or arising
      from
      or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.

     

    9.  Conversion
      to Term Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this
      Section 9, the Arranger may, in its sole discretion, convert in whole, but
      not
      in part, the Notes to senior unsecured term loans (the “Term
      Loans”) on substantially the same terms as the Notes (such
      conversion, the “Term Loan
      Conversion”).  The Arranger shall notify the Company of
      any Term Loan Conversion at least ten (10) business days prior to the Conversion
      Deadline Date (as defined below), but in no event later than the Closing
      Date.  The effective date of the Term Loan Conversion (the
“Conversion Deadline Date”) shall be no earlier than
      five (5) business days after the Closing Date and no later than ten (10)
      business days after the Closing Date.  In connection with the
      syndication of any such Term Loans:

     

    (a)  The
      Company agrees to assist the Arranger in the preparation of a customary
      confidential information memorandum and other marketing materials to be used
      in
      connection with any syndication, including causing such confidential information
      memorandum to conform to market standards as reasonably determined by the
      Arranger and, at the request of the Arranger, the preparation of a version

      non-public information concerning the Company, its affiliates or its securities
      for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws

    (b)  The
      Company acknowledges that (i) the Wachovia Parties on your behalf will make
      Information and Projections available to the proposed syndicate of Purchasers
      by
      posting the Information or Projections on IntraLinks or another similar
      electronic system and (ii) certain prospective Purchasers (such Purchasers,
      “Public Purchasers”; all other Purchasers,
“Private Purchasers”) may have personnel
      that do not
      wish to receive Material Non-Public Information with respect to the Company
      and
      its affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who
      may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect
      to
      such entities’ securities.  If requested, you will assist us in
      preparing materials not containing Material Non-Public Information (the
“Public Information Materials”), to be distributed to
      prospective Public Purchasers.

    (c)  Before
      distribution of any Information or Projections (i) to prospective Private
      Purchasers, you shall provide us with a customary letter authorizing the
      dissemination of Information and Projections and (ii) to prospective Public
      Purchasers, you shall provide us with a customary letter authorizing the
      dissemination of the Public Information Materials and confirming the absence
      of
      Material Non-Public Information therefrom.  In addition, at our
      request, you shall identify Public Information Materials by clearly and
      conspicuously marking the same as “PUBLIC”.  You agree that the
      Wachovia Parties on your behalf may distribute the following documents to all
      prospective Purchasers, unless you advise us in writing (including by email)
      within a reasonable time prior to their intended distributions that such
      material should only be distributed to prospective Private Purchasers: (a)
      administrative materials for prospective Purchasers such as investor meeting
      invitations and funding and closing memoranda, (b) notifications of changes
      to
      the terms of the Notes and (c) other materials intended for prospective
      Purchasers after the initial distribution of the Information and Projections,
      including drafts and final versions of definitive documents with respect to
      the
      Notes.  If you advise us that any of the foregoing items should be
      distributed only to Private Purchasers, then the Wachovia Parties will not
      distribute such materials to Public Purchasers without further discussions
      with
      you.  You agree (whether or not any Information or Projections are
      marked “PUBLIC”) that Information and Projections made available to prospective
      Public Purchasers in accordance with this Commitment Letter shall not contain
      Material Non-Public Information.

     

    10.  Miscellaneous.

     

    (a)  This
      Commitment Letter may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which
      will be deemed an original, but all of which taken together will constitute
      one
      and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed signature page of
      this Commitment Letter by facsimile or other electronic transmission will be
      effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.  This
      Commitment Letter may not be amended or waived except by an instrument in
      writing signed by the Wachovia Parties and you.

     

    (b)  The
      Company may not assign any of its rights, or be relieved of any of its
      obligations, without the prior written consent of each of the Wachovia Parties
      (and any purported assignment without such consent will be null and
      void).  In connection with any syndication of all or a portion of the
      Commitment, the rights and obligations of each Purchaser hereunder may be
      assigned; provided that the Commitment hereunder shall continue in
      effect notwithstanding any such assignment until the purchase of the Notes
      on
      the Closing Date.

     

    (c)  This
      Commitment Letter and the attached Exhibits set forth the entire understanding
      of the parties hereto as to the scope of the Commitment and the obligations
      of
      the Wachovia Parties hereunder.  This Commitment Letter supersedes all
      prior understandings and proposals, whether written or oral, between any of
      the
      Wachovia Parties and you relating to any financing or the transactions
      contemplated hereby.  This Commitment Letter is in addition to the
      agreements of the parties contained in the Fee Letter.

     

    (d)  This
      Commitment Letter has been and is made solely for the benefit of the parties
      signatory hereto, the Indemnified Persons, and their respective heirs,
      successors and assigns, and nothing in this Commitment Letter, expressed or
      implied, is intended to confer or does confer on any other person or entity
      any
      rights or remedies under or by reason of this Commitment Letter or the
      agreements of the parties contained herein.

     

    (e)  You
      acknowledge that the Wachovia Parties may be (or may be affiliated with) full
      service financial firms and as such from time to time may effect transactions

      positions in debt or equity securities or loans of companies that may be the
      subject of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment
      Letter.  You hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted
      by law, any claims you have with respect to any conflict of interest arising
      from such transactions, activities, investments or holdings, or arising from
      the
      failure of any Wachovia Party or any of its affiliates to bring such
      transactions, activities, investments or holdings to your
      attention.  In addition, you acknowledge that the transactions
      contemplated by this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and the Engagement Letter
      are arms-length commercial transactions and that each of the Wachovia Parties
      is
      acting as principal and in its own best interests.  You are relying on
      your own experts and advisors to determine whether the transactions contemplated
      by this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and the Engagement Letter are in
      your
      best interests.  You agree that each of the Wachovia Parties will act
      under this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and the Engagement Letter as an
      independent contractor and that nothing in this Commitment Letter, the Fee
      Letter, the Engagement Letter, the nature of our services, or in any prior
      relationship will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency
      relationship between any Wachovia Party on the one hand and the Company, its
      stockholders or its affiliates on the other hand.

      in financial and other newspapers and journals at their own expense describing
      their services to the Company; provided that such Wachovia Party will
      submit a copy of any such advertisements to the Company for its prior approval,
      which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

    FUNDING
      CONDITIONS

     

    Capitalized
      terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the
      Commitment Letter to which this Exhibit is attached and of which it forms a
      part.  The purchase of the Notes is conditioned upon satisfaction of,
      among other things, the conditions precedent summarized below.

    

     

    
      	
              (a)  

            	
              The
                execution and delivery of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Indenture,
                a
                customary registration rights agreement and the Notes consistent
                with the
                Commitment Letter (collectively, the “Note
                Documentation”), in each case, substantially identical to
                the Existing 2015 Note Documentation (except to the extent set forth
                on
                the foregoing Exhibit A and Exhibit B); the fulfillment or waiver
                in
                writing of the conditions under the Note Purchase Agreement set forth
                on
                the foregoing Exhibit B.

            

    

     

    
      	
              (b)  

            	
              There
                shall not exist (pro forma for the Tender Offer and the financing
                thereof) any default or event of default under any of the Note
                Documentation or under any other material indebtedness of the Company
                (including the Existing 2015 Indenture and the Company’s existing amended
                and restated credit agreement dated as of June 28, 2006, as
                amended).

            

    

     

    
      	
              (c)  

            	
              The
                Tender Offer shall have been consummated (or shall be consummated
                substantially concurrently with the purchase of the Notes) for an
                aggregate purchase price not exceeding $295.0 million pursuant to
                documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Arranger, and no provision
                thereof shall have been waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise
                modified without the consent of the Arranger (which consent shall
                not be
                unreasonably withheld).

            

    

     

    
      	
              (d)  

            	
              The
                Company shall have complied in all material respects with all of
                its
                obligations under and agreements in the Commitment Letter, the Fee
                Letter
                and the Engagement Letter.

            

    

     

    
      	
              (e)  

            	
              At
                least 15 days prior to the Closing Date, the Arranger shall have
                received (i) audited financial statements of the Company for each
                of the
                three fiscal years immediately preceding the Closing Date; (ii) unaudited
                financial statements for any interim period or periods of the Company
                ended after the date of the most recent audited financial statements
                and
                at least 45 days prior to the Closing Date (which shall have been
                reviewed
                by the independent accountants for the Company as provided in Statement
                on
                Auditing Standards No. 100); and (iii) customary pro forma financial
                statements, in each case that are satisfactory in form to the Arranger
                in
                its reasonable discretion.  You acknowledge that the pro formas
                contained in the draft Offer to Purchase heretofore delivered to
                you meet
                the requirements of clause (iii)
                above.

            

    

     

    
      	
              (f)  

            	
              The
                Company shall have complied with all other customary closing conditions,
                including, without limitation: (i) obtaining material third party
                and
                governmental consents necessary in connection with the Tender Offer
                or the
                financing thereof and (ii) absence of litigation or regulatory action
                affecting the Tender Offer or the financing thereof.  The
                Arranger shall have received all documentation and other information
                reasonably requested by the Purchasers to enable them to comply with
                the
                requirements of bank regulatory authorities under applicable
                “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations,
                including the U.S.A. Patriot Act.

      _____________________________________________

      (1)
        In
        June 2007, IKON’s United Kingdom leasing subsidiaries, IKON Capital PLC and IKON
        Office Solutions Dublin Limited, replaced their existing asset securitization
        conduit financing agreement with a new five year agreement (the “New U.K.
        Conduit”), including a 364 day revolving liquidity facility with a new
        lender.  The facility size was increased from £95,000 to
£105,000.  If the New U.K. Conduit is not renewed at the end of each
        364 day period during the life of the agreement or upon expiration, any
        outstanding balance due converts to an amortizing loan to be repaid with
        collections from previously funded lease contracts.

       

      (2)
        Due mainly to certain provisions within IKON’s agreements with GE and other
        third party syndicators, when the Company is the original equipment lesser
        (primarily state and local government contracts), IKON is required to record
        debt (and related assets) for certain lease and residual value
        guarantees.

       

    

    In
      addition to the amounts set forth in the foregoing table, Retained Debt shall
      also include:

     

    
      	
              (a)  

            	
              up
                to $5.0 million of additional capital lease
                obligations;

            

    

     

    
      	
              (b)  

            	
              up
                to $2.0 million of other debt;

            

    

     

    
      	
              (c)  

            	
              asset
                securitization conduit financing in an aggregate principal amount
                (including amounts set forth in the foregoing table) not to exceed
£105.0
                million;

            

    

     

    
      	
              (d)  

            	
              notes
                payable in an aggregate principal amount (including amounts set forth
                in
                the foregoing table) not to exceed $2.0 million;
                and

            

    

     

    
      	
              (e)  

            	
              additional
                debt supporting lease and residual value
                guarantees.
