  ARTICLE II
 THE CREDITS
             
2.1    Amounts and Terms of Commitments; Joint and Several Liability .
             (a)   Each Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make loans to Danka PLC, Danka Holding or Dankalux (each such loan, a
“Revolving Loan”) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Termination Date (or such earlier date as the Revolving Commitments of all Banks shall terminate in accordance with the terms hereof),
in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount set forth on  Schedule 2.1  under the heading “Revolving Commitment” (such amount as the same may be reduced under  Section 2.8 or 2.10  or
changed as a result of one or more assignments under  Section 11.8 , such Bank’s “Revolving Commitment”);  provided ,  however , that, after giving effect to any Revolving Borrowings and Swing Line Outstandings,
the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loan Outstandings shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (a) the combined Revolving Commitments and (b) the then applicable Borrowing Base. Each Revolving Loan will be made to Danka PLC, Danka
Holding or Dankalux. Within the limits of each Bank’s Revolving Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Companies may borrow under this  Section 2.1(a) , prepay under  Section 2.9  and reborrow under
this  Section 2.1 (a) . In addition to the foregoing, the Companies shall prepay Revolving Loan Outstandings (in the following order: first, all Swing Line Outstandings; second, all Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans; and third, all
Revolving Loans that are LIBOR Rate Loans) by the amount of cash required to be paid to the Agent (from the cash balances of Danka Holding and its Subsidiaries) under and pursuant to the Blocked Account Agreement, at the end of each Business Day;
 provided  that the accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amounts so repaid under this sentence that are prepayments of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans shall be due and payable on the Interest Payment Date occurring in the
month next succeeding the month such principal prepayment is made; and  provided   further  that the amounts so repaid under this sentence may be reborrowed in accordance with the other provisions of this  Section 2.1  or 
Section 2.19 .
             (b)   Each Bank severally has, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, made loans (each such loan,
a “Term Loan”) prior to the Closing Date, to the Companies in an aggregate principal amount set forth on  Schedule 2.1  under the heading “Term Loan Commitment” (such amount as the same may be reduced under  Section 2.9
 or changed as a result of one or more assignments under  Section 11.8 , such Bank’s “Term Loan Commitment”). 
             (c)   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Company shall be jointly and severally liable as primary obligor and not merely as surety
for repayment of all Obligations arising under the Loan Documents. Such joint and several liability shall apply to each Company regardless of whether (i) any Loan was only requested by or made to another Company or the proceeds of any Loan were used
only by 
  30 

  another Company, (ii) any Letter of Credit was Issued on the application of another Company, (iii) any interest rate election was made only by another Company, or (iv) any indemnification
obligation or any other obligation arose only as a result of the actions of another Company; provided the liability of each of the Companies other than Danka PLC under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to the
maximum amount of the Obligations for which such other Company may be liable without violating any applicable fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or comparable laws. Each Company shall retain any right of contribution arising under applicable
law against the other Companies as the result of the satisfaction of any Obligations; provided, no Company shall assert such right of contribution against any other Company until the Obligations shall have been paid in full.
             Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this  Section 2.1(c) , each of the Companies hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally
guarantees the full and punctual payment or performance when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of each other Company, whether owing to the Agent or any Bank.
This guarantee constitutes a guaranty of payment and not of collection. The liability of each of the Companies other than Danka PLC under the immediately preceding two sentences shall be limited to the maximum amount for which such other Company may
be liable without violating any applicable fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or comparable laws.
             It is the intention of the
parties that with respect to each Company its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of:
 
            (i)   any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document as to any other Company;

            (ii)   the failure of the Agent or any Bank
             (A)   to enforce any right or remedy against any other Company or any other Person (including any guarantor) under the provisions of this Agreement, any
Note, any other Loan Document or otherwise, or

             (B)   to exercise any right
or remedy against any guarantor of, or collateral securing, any Obligations;

 
            (iii)   any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other extension, compromise or renewal of any Obligations;
 
            (iv)   any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any Obligations with respect to any other Company or any other Person (including any
guarantor) for any reason including any claim of waiver, release, surrender,
  31 

  
alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and each Company hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever
by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise or unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Obligations with respect to any other Company;
 
            (v)   any addition, exchange, release, surrender or nonperfection of any collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or release or addition of, or consent to
departure from, any guaranty, held by the Agent, any Bank or any holder of any Note securing any of the Obligations; or
 
            (vi)   any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any other Company, any surety
or any guarantor.
             Each Company agrees that its joint and several liability hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated,
as the case may be, if at any time any payment (in whole or in part) of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must be restored by the Agent, any Bank, or any holder of any Note, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Company as
though such payment had not been made.
             Each Company hereby expressly waives: (a) notice of each Bank’s and the Agent’s acceptance
of this Agreement; (b) notice of the existence or creation or non-payment of all or any of the Obligations; (c) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices whatsoever other than notices expressly provided for in this
Agreement and (d) all diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon the Obligations or any thereof, any obligation hereunder, or any security for or guaranty of any of the foregoing.
             No delay on any of the Banks’ or the Agent’s part in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by
any of the Banks or the Agent of any right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No action of the Agent or any of the Banks permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair
any of their rights or any of their obligations to any of the Companies under this Agreement.
             
2.2    Loan Accounts .
             (a)   The Loans made by each Bank (including Bank of
America as provider of the Swing Line) and the Letters of Credit Issued by the Issuing Bank shall be evidenced by one or more loan accounts or records maintained by such Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, in the ordinary course of business.
The loan accounts or records maintained by the Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Bank shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of the Loans made by the Banks to the Companies and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to record or any
error in doing so shall not, however, limit, expand or otherwise affect the obligations of the Companies hereunder.
  32 

              (b)   Upon the request of any Bank made through the Agent, the Loans made by such Bank may be evidenced
by one or more Notes, in addition to loan accounts. Each such Bank may, at its option, endorse on the schedules annexed to its Note(s) the date, amount and maturity of each Loan made by it and the amount of each payment of principal made by a
Company with respect thereto. Each such Bank is irrevocably authorized by each Company to endorse its Note(s) and each Bank’s record shall be prima facie evidence; provided, however, that the failure of a Bank to make, or an error in making, a
notation thereon with respect to any Loan shall not limit, expand or otherwise affect the obligations of any Company hereunder or under any such Note to such Bank.
             
2.3    Procedure for Syndicated Borrowing .
             (a)   Each Syndicated Borrowing

the full faith and credit of the United States of America), (b) repurchase agreements fully collateralized by securities of the kind specified in clause (a) above; (c) money market accounts issued by the Bank of America; or (d) demand deposits with
the Bank of America, and (v) contain such other terms and conditions as are acceptable to the Agent in its sole discretion. Prior to making any deposits into the escrow account, the Companies shall grant a first priority security interest in such
escrow account and the funds therein and the proceeds thereof to the Agent, for the benefit of the Banks, and all documentation necessary or desirable to perfect such security interest shall be completed to the satisfaction of the Agent in its sole
discretion.

            (a)   first, to the repayment of Revolving Loans to the extent required so that after giving effect to such prepayment, the aggregate

to the prepayment of the Term Loan Outstandings by application to the unpaid installments of the Term Loans set forth on  Schedule V  in inverse order of maturity; and then
 
            (c)   third, in the event that there are no Term Loan Outstandings, then the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments shall be reduced by (and the
Revolving Commitments of each Bank shall be correspondingly reduced by its Pro Rata share of) the amount of any excess funds remaining after application aforesaid, and the Companies shall cause Revolving Loan Outstandings to be repaid so that after
giving effect to such reduction, the amount of Revolving Loan Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Commitments; and then
  38 

  
            (d)   fourth, to the payment of the L/C Borrowings and the payment or Cash Collateralization of the
L/C Obligations; and finally
 
            (e)   fifth, to the payment of any other outstanding Obligations.

            2.11   [Intentionally Omitted].
 
            
2.12    Repayment . The Companies shall repay to the Banks on the Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding on such date, plus any other outstanding Obligations.

Section 2.4 ) plus the Applicable Margin.
 
            (b)   All interest accrued through and including the last Business
Day of each month for each Syndicated Loan that bears interest at the LIBOR Rate, and all interest accrued through and including the last day of each month for each Syndicated Loan that bears interest at the Base Rate, shall be paid in arrears on

thereof and, during the existence of any Event of Default, interest shall be paid on demand of the Agent at the request or with the consent of the Majority Banks.
 
            (c)   Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this Section, while any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, interest shall accrue (after as well as
before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations, at a rate per annum which is determined by adding 2% per annum to the Applicable Margin then in effect for such
Loans.
 
            (d)   Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Companies to any Bank
hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by such Bank
would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Bank limiting the highest rate of interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Bank, and in such event the Companies shall pay such Bank interest at the
highest rate permitted by applicable law.

Commitment Fees . The Companies jointly and severally shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Bank a commitment fee on the sum of the average daily unused portion of such Bank’s Revolving Commitment computed on a monthly basis in
arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month based upon the daily utilization of the Revolving Commitment by Revolving Loans for that month as calculated by the Agent, equal to 0.50% per annum;  provided ,  however , from
and after the date that the Extension Election shall have occurred, the commitment fee shall be as set forth in the Letter Agreement. Swing Line Loans shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of calculating fees under this  Section 2.14
. Such commitment fee shall accrue from the date hereof to the Termination Date and shall be due and payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each month and on the Termination Date; provided that, in connection with any reduction
or termination of Commitments under  Section 2.8  or  Section 2.9 , the accrued commitment fee calculated for the period ending on such date shall also be paid on the date of such reduction or termination, with the following monthly

Date from March 31, 2004 until March 31, 2006; and (2) pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Banks, a fee equal to the Extension Fee Percentage multiplied by the Total Commitments on the date of such notice (collectively, the
“Extension Election”).
 
            
2.15    Computation of Fees and Interest .
 
            (a)   All computations of
interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Bank of America’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and
interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof.

            (b)   Each determination of an interest rate by the Agent shall be conclusive and binding on each Company and the Banks in the
absence of manifest error.
 
            
2.16    Payments by the Companies .
 
            (a)   Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, all payments by any Company shall be made to the Agent for the account of the Banks or the Agent, as the case may be, at the Agent’s Payment Office in Dollars in Same Day Funds, no later than 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte
time) on the date specified herein. The Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as expressly provided herein) of such amounts, in like funds as received. Any payment which is received by the Agent
later than 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
 
            (b)   Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” herein, whenever any payment is due on a day other than a
Business Day, such payment shall be made on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.
 
            (c)   Unless the Agent receives notice from a Company prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks that such Company will not make such
payment in full as and when required, the Agent may assume that such Company has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date in Same Day Funds and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to
each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent a Company has not made such payment in full to the Agent, each Bank shall repay to the Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Bank, together
with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate as determined by the Agent, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date repaid.
  41 

  
            
2.17    Payments by the Banks to the Agent .
 
            (a)   Unless the Agent
receives notice from a Bank on or prior to the Closing Date or, with respect to any Syndicated Borrowing, after the Closing Date, at least two Business Days prior to the date of such Borrowing, that such Bank will not make available as and when
required hereunder to the Agent for the account of the applicable Company the amount of that Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such Syndicated Borrowing, the Agent may assume that each Bank has made such amount available to the Agent in Same Day Funds
on such Borrowing Date and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to such Company on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent any Bank shall not have made its full amount
available to the Agent in Same Day Funds and the Agent in such circumstances has made available to the applicable Company such amount, that Bank shall on the Business Day following such Borrowing Date make such amount available to the Agent,
together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate plus any administrative fee charged by the Agent. A notice of the Agent submitted to any Bank with respect to amounts owing under this  Section 2.17(a)  shall be conclusive, absent manifest
error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to the Agent shall constitute such Bank’s Loan on the applicable Borrowing Date for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to the Agent on the Business Day
following the applicable Borrowing Date, the Agent will notify each Company of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Agent, the Companies shall pay such amount to the Agent for the Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each
day elapsed since the date of such Syndicated Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.
 
            (b)   The failure of any Bank to make any Syndicated Loan on any Borrowing Date shall not relieve any other Bank of any obligation hereunder to make a
Syndicated Loan on such Borrowing Date, but neither the Agent nor any Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make the Loan to be made by such other Bank on any Borrowing Date.
 
            
2.18    Sharing of Payments Etc.  If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Bank shall obtain on account of the Syndicated Loans made by it any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary,
through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder), such Bank shall immediately (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Banks such
participations in the Syndicated Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter
recovered from the purchasing Bank, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Bank shall repay to the purchasing Bank the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Bank’s ratable share
(according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Bank’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the
total amount so recovered. Each
  42 

  
Company agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of
set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of such Company in the amount of such participation. The Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error)
of participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the Banks following any such purchases or repayments.
 
            
2.19    Swing Line . 
 
            (a)   Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, in order to administer the Revolving Commitments in an efficient manner and to minimize the transfer of funds between the Agent and each Bank, Bank of America shall make available Swing Line Loans in Dollars to each
of the Companies, jointly and severally, from the Closing Date to the Termination Date (or such earlier date as the Revolving Commitments of all Banks shall have terminated in accordance with the terms hereof). Bank of America shall not make any
Swing Line Loan pursuant hereto (i) if to the actual knowledge of Bank of America the Companies are not in compliance with all the conditions to the making of Revolving Loans set forth in this Agreement, (ii) if after giving effect to such Swing
Line Loan, the Swing Line Outstandings would exceed $15,000,000, or (iii) if after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan, to the actual knowledge of Bank of America the Revolving Loan Outstandings would exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments.
The Companies may borrow, repay and reborrow under this  Section 2.19 . Unless notified to the contrary by Bank of America, borrowings under the Swing Line shall be made in integral multiples of $100,000, upon written request by telefacsimile
transmission, effective upon receipt, by a Responsible Officer made to Bank of America not later than 3:00 P.M. on the Business Day of the requested borrowing. Each such Swing Line Borrowing Notice shall specify the amount of the borrowing and the
date of borrowing, and shall be in the form of  Exhibit L , with appropriate insertions. Unless notified to the contrary by Bank of America, each repayment of a Swing Line Loan shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000
or the aggregate amount of all Swing Line Outstandings. If any Company instructs Bank of America to debit any demand deposit account of such Company in the amount of any payment with respect to a Swing Line Loan, or Bank of America otherwise
receives repayment, after 3:00 P.M. on a Business Day, such payment shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. 
 
            (b)   Swing Line Loans shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or at such other rate or rates as the applicable Company and Bank of
America may agree from time to time, the interest payable on Swing Line Loans is solely for the account of Bank of America, and all accrued and unpaid interest on Swing Line Loans shall be payable on the dates and in the manner provided in this 
Article II  (except as Bank of America and the applicable Company may otherwise agree in connection with any particular Swing Line Loan). The Swing Line Loans shall be evidenced by the Swing Line Note.
  43 

  
            (c)   Upon the making of a Swing Line Loan in accordance with this  Section 2.19 , each Bank
having a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased from Bank of America a Swing Line Participation therein in an amount equal to that Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Loan. For purposes of  Section 2.1(a) , each
Swing Line Loan shall be deemed to utilize the Revolving Commitment of each Bank by an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Loan. Upon demand made by Bank of America, each Bank having a Revolving Commitment shall, according to its Pro Rata
Share of such Swing Line Loan, promptly provide to Bank of America its purchase price therefor in an amount equal to its Swing Line Participation. Any such payment made by a Bank pursuant to demand of Bank of America of the purchase price of its
Swing Line Participation shall be deemed (i) provided that the conditions to making Revolving Loans shall be satisfied, a Base Rate Loan under  Section 2.1(a)  until the Companies convert such Base Rate Loan in accordance with the terms of
 Section 2.4 , and (ii) in all other cases, the funding by each Bank of the purchase price of its Swing Line Participation in such Swing Line Loan. The obligation of each Bank having a Revolving Commitment to so provide its purchase price to
Bank of America shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default or any other occurrence or event. Upon (and only upon) receipt by Bank of America of funds from the Companies in
repayment of principal of or interest on Swing Line Loans with respect to which any Bank has funded the purchase of its participation in accordance with clause (ii) of the fourth sentence of this  Section 2.19(c) , Bank of America will
promptly pay over to the Agent (in the kind of funds so received or applied) for the account of each such Bank (other than Bank of America) in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares the aggregate amount of such payment as shall equal the aggregate
amount of the Pro Rata Shares of such payment of each such Bank (other than Bank of America).
 
            The Companies, at their option and
subject to the terms hereof, may request a Revolving Borrowing pursuant to  Section 2.1(a)  in an amount sufficient to repay Swing Line Outstandings on any date and the Agent shall provide from the proceeds of such Borrowing to Bank of
America the amount necessary to repay such Swing Line Outstandings (which Bank of America shall then apply to such repayment) and credit any balance of such Borrowing in immediately available funds in the manner directed by the Companies. The Swing
Line shall continue in effect until the Termination Date (or such earlier date as the Revolving Commitments of all Banks shall have terminated in accordance with the terms hereof), at which time all Swing Line Outstandings and accrued interest
thereon shall be due and payable in full.

thereunder in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Pro Rata Share of such Bank, times (ii) the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively. 
             (b)   In the event of any drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Agent and
the Companies of the request and of the day on which the Issuing Bank is to pay the beneficiary (which payment date is not to be less than one day later). The Companies jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Issuing Bank prior to 11:00 a.m.
(Charlotte time), on each date that any amount is paid by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), in an amount equal to the amount so paid by the Issuing Bank. In the event the Companies fail to
reimburse the Issuing Bank for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 11:00 a.m. (Charlotte time) on the Honor Date, the Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Agent who will in turn promptly notify each Bank. Unless notified by
the Companies to convert an unreimbursed drawing into Revolving
  47 

  Loans or, if the Companies request a conversion of an unreimbursed drawing into Revolving Loans but the unreimbursed drawing is not converted because of the Companies’ failure to
satisfy the conditions set forth in  Section 5.3 , each Bank having an L/C Commitment will be deemed to be obligated to make an L/C Advance in Dollars in the amount of each Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such drawing and such L/C Advances
shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the then Applicable Margin with respect to Base Rate Loans. Any notice given by the Issuing Bank or the Agent pursuant to this  Section 3.3(b)  may be oral if immediately
confirmed in writing (including by facsimile); provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
             (c)   With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that the applicable Company requests be converted into a Revolving Loan and that satisfies the conditions
set forth in  Section 5.3 , each Bank having a Revolving Commitment shall upon any notice make available to the Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Bank an amount in Dollars and in immediately available funds equal to its Pro Rata
Share of the amount of such drawing, whereupon the participating Banks shall each be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan consisting of a Base Rate Loan to the Company in that amount. If any Bank so notified fails to make available to the Agent for
the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such drawing by no later than 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) on the Honor Date, then interest shall accrue on such Bank’s obligation to make such
payment, from the Honor Date to the date such Bank makes such payment, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time during such period. The Agent shall promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Honor Date, but
failure of the Agent to give any such notice on the Honor Date or in sufficient time to enable any Bank to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Bank from its obligations under this  Section 3.3. 
             (d)   Provided that the Issuing Bank has paid a drawing under a Letter of Credit substantially in accordance with its terms, the
obligation of each Bank having an L/C Commitment in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Loans or L/C Advances, as contemplated by this  Section 3.3 , as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute and
unconditional and without recourse to the Issuing Bank and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Bank may have against the Issuing Bank, the Companies or any
other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, an Event of Default or a Material Adverse Effect; or (iii) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing; provided that if the conditions to making any Loan pursuant to  Section 5.3  shall not then be satisfied, each applicable Bank’s payment of such amount shall be deemed to constitute its payment of the purchase price for its
participation in the applicable drawing under the applicable Letter of Credit.
  48 

              
3.4    Repayment of Participations . 
             (a)   Upon (and only upon) receipt by the
Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank of immediately available funds from the Companies (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Bank has paid the Agent for the account of
the Issuing Bank for such Bank’s participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to  Section 3.3  or (ii) in payment of interest thereon, the Agent will pay to such Bank, in the same funds as those received by the Agent for the account
of the Issuing Bank, the amount of such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such funds, and the Issuing Bank shall receive the amount of the Pro Rata Share of such funds of any Bank that did not so pay the Agent for the account of the Issuing
Bank.
             (b)   If the Agent or the Issuing Bank is required at any time to pay to the Companies, or to a trustee, receiver,
liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of the payments made by the Companies to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank pursuant to  Section 3.4(a)  and paid to the Banks in reimbursement of a
payment made under any Letter of Credit or interest thereon, each Bank having an L/C Commitment shall, on demand of the Agent, forthwith pay to the Agent or the Issuing Bank the amount of its Pro Rata Share of any amounts so paid by the Agent or the
Issuing Bank plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are paid by such Bank to the Agent or the Issuing Bank, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time.
             
3.5    Role of the Issuing Bank . 
             (a)   Each Bank and the Companies agree
that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft and certificates expressly required by the applicable Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or
inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.
             (b)   No Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Bank for: (i)
any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Majority Banks; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness,
validity or enforceability of any L/C-Related Document.
             (c)   The Companies hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions
of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit;  provided ,  however , that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Companies’ pursuing such rights and remedies as they may
have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. No Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Bank (including the Banks), shall be liable or responsible
for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 3.6 ; provided, however, anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding,
  49 

   that the Companies may have a claim against the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank may be liable to the Companies, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to
consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Companies which the Companies prove were caused by the Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the Issuing Bank’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit except
as a result of a court order after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing: (i) the
Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation; and (ii) the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or
purporting to transfer a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or assigning the proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any
reason.
             
3.6    Obligations Absolute . Provided that the Issuing Bank has paid a drawing under a Letter of Credit substantially in accordance with its terms, the obligations of the Companies under this Agreement
and any L/C-Related Document to reimburse the Issuing Bank for a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and to repay any L/C Borrowing and any drawing under a Letter of Credit converted into any Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans, shall be unconditional
and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each such other L/C Related Document under all circumstances, including the following:
 
            (i)   any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any L/C-Related Document;
 
            (ii)   any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of the Companies in respect of any
Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C-Related Documents, which have been previously agreed to by the respective Company;
 
            (iii)   the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Companies may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of
any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by the L/C-Related
Documents or any unrelated transaction;
 
            (iv)   any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under any
Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to
make a drawing under any Letter of Credit;
  50 

  
            (v)   any payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or
certificate that reasonably complies with the terms of any Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be (and providing reasonable evidence of its status as) a trustee in
bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any
Insolvency Proceeding;
 
            (vi)   any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or
amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guarantee, for all or any of the obligations of the Companies in respect of any Letter of Credit; or
 
            (vii)   any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might
otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Companies or a guarantor.
             
3.7    Cash Collateral Pledge . Upon the request of the Agent or the Majority Banks, (A) if the Issuing Bank has honored any full or partial drawing request on any Letter of Credit and such drawing has
resulted in an L/C Borrowing hereunder which shall not have been repaid by the Companies, or (B) if, as of the Termination Date (or such earlier date as the L/C Commitments shall have terminated in accordance with the terms hereof), any Letters of
Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, then the Companies shall immediately Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (which, in the case of clause (A) above, shall be equal to such L/C Borrowing) in an amount
equal to such L/C Obligations. If any Letter of Credit expires without the application of such Cash Collateral in full, or if all L/C Borrowings with respect to any Letter of Credit have been paid in full by the Companies, then as long as there is
no Event of Default in existence and so long as no such application shall be made within 25 days of the expiration of a Letter of Credit, the Agent shall return to the Companies any cash or deposit account balances that were used by the Companies to
Cash Collateralize such Letters of Credit pursuant to this  Section 3.7  and were not applied to L/C Borrowings.
             
3.8    Letter of Credit Fees . (a) The Companies shall pay (i) to the Agent for the account of each of the Banks having an L/C Commitment a letter of credit fee equal to the Applicable Margin applicable
to LIBOR Rate Loans and (ii) to the Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee equal to 0.0625%, of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under the outstanding L/Cs computed on a monthly basis in arrears on the last Business
Day of each calendar month based upon L/Cs outstanding for that month as calculated by the Agent. Such letter of credit fees and fronting fees shall be due and payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day following the calendar month during
which Letters of Credit are outstanding, commencing on the first such monthly date to occur after the Closing Date, through the Termination Date (or such later date
  51 

  upon which the outstanding Letters of Credit shall expire), with the final payment to be made on the Termination Date (or such later expiration date). For purposes of calculating the fees
payable under this  Section 3.8(a) , any undrawn commercial Letters of Credit shall be considered outstanding and available to be drawn upon for 25 days after their expiry date.
             (b)   The Companies shall pay to the Issuing Bank from time to time on demand the normal issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and
other standard costs and charges, of the Issuing Bank relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect.
             
3.9    Uniform Customs and Practice . The Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits as published by the International Chamber of Commerce (“UCP”) most recently at the time of issuance
of any Letter of Credit shall (unless otherwise expressly provided in the Letters of Credit) apply to the Letters of Credit.
  52 

  ARTICLE IV
 TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
             
4.1    Taxes .
             (a)   Any and all payments by any Company to each Bank or the
Agent under this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes imposed in any jurisdiction from or through which a payment is made. In addition, the Companies shall pay all
Other Taxes.
             (b)   If any Company shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes
from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Bank or the Agent, then:
 
            (i)   the sum payable by the Company in
respect of which the relevant deduction or withholding is required shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section), such Bank or the Agent, as the case may be, receives and retains an amount equal to the sum it would have received and retained had no such deductions or withholdings been made;
 
            (ii)   such Company shall make such deductions and withholdings;
 
            (iii)   such Company shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law;
and
 
            (iv)   such Company shall also pay to each Bank or the Agent for the account of such Bank, at the time interest
is paid or, with respect to a cost incurred after such interest is paid, on request of such Bank after such incurrence, further Taxes in the amount that the respective Bank determines in good faith as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield such
Bank would have received if such Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes had not been imposed.
             (c)   Each Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless each Bank or the Agent for the full amount of (i) Taxes, (ii) Other Taxes, and (iii) Further Taxes in the amount that the respective Bank determines in good faith as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield such Bank
would have received if such Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes had not been imposed, and any liability (including penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes, Other Taxes
or Further Taxes were correctly or legally asserted; provided, that no Company shall be required to indemnify a Bank for any such liability which arose because of the failure of said Bank to make a payment for more than five days after such Bank
became aware of the requirement to make such payment. Payment under this
  53 

   indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date the applicable Bank or the Agent makes written demand therefor. Each Bank agrees to give notice within 30 days of becoming aware
of any right to indemnification under this  Section 4.1(c) .
             (d)   Within 30 days after the date of any payment by
any Company of Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes, such Company shall furnish to each Bank or the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.
             (e)   If a Company is required to pay any amount to any Bank or the Agent pursuant to Section 4.1(b)  or  Section 4.1(c) , then, upon request
by such Company, such Bank or the Agent shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office so as to eliminate any such additional payment by such Company which may
thereafter accrue, if such change in the sole judgment of such Bank is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. Additionally such Bank shall use reasonable efforts to assist the Companies (for themselves and on behalf of each Guarantor) in
securing any tax credits or refunds which may be available. If any tax credit or refund is available to any Bank, it will make timely application therefor and when received, send any such refund to the Companies or, as directed by the Companies to a
Guarantor. The Agent or any Bank requesting indemnification under subsection (b) or (c) or under any Guarantee shall, at the request of a Company or a Guarantor, provide a detailed calculation in writing of the applicable amounts.
             
4.2    Illegality .
             (a)   If any Bank reasonably determines that the
introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that
it is unlawful, for any Bank or its applicable Lending Office to make any LIBOR Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Bank to each Company through the Agent, any obligation of that Bank to make such LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until
such Bank notifies the Agent and each Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.
             (b)   If a Bank reasonably determines or any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful to maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, the Companies shall, upon
their receipt of notice of such determination and demand from such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), prepay in full such LIBOR Rate Loan of that Bank then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon and amounts required under  Section 4.4
, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if such Bank may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Bank may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loan. If any LIBOR Rate
Loan made to a Company is required to be so repaid, then concurrently with such prepayment, such Company may borrow from the affected Bank, in the amount of such repayment, a Base Rate Loan.
  54 

              
4.3    Increased Costs and Reduction of Return. 
             (a)   If any Bank reasonably
determines that, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition of or increase in reserve requirements included in the calculation of the LIBOR Rate) in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation or (ii) the compliance by that Bank with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to such Bank of agreeing to make or
making, funding or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loans or participating in Letters of Credit, or, in the case of the Issuing Bank, any increase in the cost to the Issuing Bank of agreeing to Issue, Issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or of
funding any drawing under any Letter of Credit, then the Companies shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, upon demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the Agent), pay to such Bank, additional amounts as are sufficient to
compensate such Bank for such increased costs; provided, that no Company shall be obligated to reimburse any Bank for any cost incurred pursuant to this Section more than 30 days prior to notice to the Companies of the incurrence of such cost;
except that if any change or compliance requirement described above shall have a retroactive application, the Companies shall be obligated to make such reimbursement with respect to such retroactive effect, if such Bank shall give the Companies
notice thereof within 30 days of such Bank’s having notice thereof. At the request of the Companies, any Bank claiming the right to payment under this subsection shall provide a detailed calculation of such payment to the requesting
Company.
             (b)   If any Bank shall have reasonably determined that (i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation,
(ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or (iv) compliance by such Bank (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling such Bank with any Capital Adequacy Regulation, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Bank or any
corporation controlling such Bank and (taking into consideration such Bank’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Bank’s or such corporation’s desired return on capital) shall have determined
that the rate of return on its or such controlling corporation’s capital as a consequence of its Commitment or the Loans made or Letters of Credit Issued or participated in by such Bank is reduced to a level below that which such Bank or such
controlling corporation could have achieved but for the occurrence of such circumstances, then, upon demand of such Bank to the Companies, the Companies shall pay to such Bank, from time to time as specified by such Bank, additional amounts
sufficient to compensate such Bank or such controlling corporation for such reduction in rate of return; provided, that the Companies shall not be obligated to reimburse any Bank for any reduction on the rate of return on capital pursuant to this
Section realized more than 30 days prior to notice to the Companies of such reduction; except that if any change or compliance requirement described above shall have a retroactive application, the Companies shall be obligated to make such

 55 

  reimbursement with respect to such retroactive effect, if such Bank shall give the Companies notice thereof within 30 days of such Bank’s having notice thereof. In calculating any
amounts payable hereunder, each Bank shall use any reasonable method of allocation and attribution that it shall deem applicable.
             
4.4    Funding Losses . The Companies shall reimburse each Bank and hold each Bank harmless from any loss or expense which such Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of:
             (a)   the failure of any Company to make on a timely basis any payment of principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan;
             (b)   the failure of any Company to borrow, continue or convert a Loan after such Company has given (or is deemed to have given) an Irrevocable Notice of
Borrowing;
             (c)   the failure of any Company to make any prepayment in accordance with any notice delivered under  Section
2.9 ;
             (d)   the prepayment (including pursuant to  Section 2.9 ) or other payment (including after acceleration
thereof) of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period; or
             (e)   the conversion
under  Section 4.2  of any LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period; including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to
maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Companies to the Banks under this Section and under  Section 4.3(a) , each
LIBOR Rate Loan made by a Bank (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at the LIBOR used in determining the LIBOR Rate for such LIBOR Rate Loan by a matching deposit or
other borrowing in the interbank eurocurrency market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Rate Loan is in fact so funded.
             
4.5    Inability to Determine Rates . If the Agent determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect
to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan, or the Majority Banks determine that the LIBOR Rate applicable pursuant to  Section 2.13(a)  for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect
the cost to the Banks of funding such Loan, the Agent will promptly so notify the Companies and each Bank. Thereafter, the obligation of the Banks to make or convert into or continue LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder shall be suspended until the Agent upon
the instruction of the Majority Banks revokes such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, each Company may revoke any Irrevocable Notice of Borrowing then submitted by it. If such Company does not revoke such Notice
 
56 

  with respect to a Syndicated Loan, the Banks shall make, convert or continue the Syndicated Loans, as proposed by such Company, in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by
such Company, but such Syndicated Loans shall be made, converted into or continued as Base Rate Loans instead of LIBOR Rate Loans.
             
4.6    Replacement Banks . The Companies may, in their sole discretion, on 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent and a Bank (except in the case of the replacement of a Bank after notice
from such Bank to the Companies pursuant to Section 4.3 , in which case no prior notice from the Companies is required), cause such Bank to (and such Bank shall) assign, pursuant to  Section 11.8 , all of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee designated by the Companies which is willing to become a Bank for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Syndicated Loans payable to such Bank plus any accrued but unpaid
interest on such Loans, any accrued but unpaid fees with respect to such Bank’s Commitment and any other amount payable to such Bank under this Agreement; provided, that any expenses or other amounts which would be owing to such Bank pursuant
to any indemnification provision hereof (including, if applicable,  Section 4.4 ) shall be payable by the Companies as if the Companies had prepaid the Loans of such Bank rather than such Bank having assigned its interest hereunder. The
Companies or the Assignee shall pay the applicable processing fee under  Section 11.8 .
             
4.7    Mitigation . Each Bank agrees that, with reasonable promptness after the officer of such Bank responsible for administering the Loans of such Bank becomes aware that such Bank has become an
affected Bank under  Section 4.2 , is entitled to receive payments under  Section 4.3 , or is or has become subject to U.S. or United Kingdom withholding taxes payable by any Company in respect of its Loans, it will, to the extent not
inconsistent with any internal policy of such Bank or any applicable legal or regulatory restriction, (i) use all reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain the Commitment of such Bank or the Loans of such Bank through another lending office of
such Bank, or (ii) take such other reasonable measures, if, as a result thereof, the circumstances which would cause such Bank to be an affected Bank under  Section 4.2  would cease to exist, or the additional amounts which would otherwise be
required to be paid to such Bank pursuant to  Section 4.3  would be reduced, or such withholding taxes would be reduced, and if the making, funding or maintaining of such Commitment or Loans through such other lending office or in accordance
with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Commitment or Loans or the interests of such Bank;  provided  that such Bank will not be obligated to utilize such other lending office pursuant to this
 Section 4.7  unless the Companies agree to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Bank as a result of utilizing such other lending office as described in clause (i) above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses (setting
forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount and the calculation thereof) submitted by such Bank to the Companies (with a copy to the Agent) shall be  prima facie  evidence of such expenses.
  57 

              
4.8    Survival . The agreements and obligations of the Companies in this  Article IV  shall survive the payment of all other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
 
58

of its incorporation;
             (b)   has the power and authority and governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals to
own its assets, carry on its business and to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents;
             (c)   is duly qualified and is licensed and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the
conduct of its business requires such qualification or license, except to the extent failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect; and
             (d)   is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except to the extent the failure to so comply would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
             
6.2    Authorization; No Contravention . The execution, delivery and performance by such Company and its Subsidiaries of this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which such Person is party have been
duly authorized by all necessary action and do not and will not:
             (a)   contravene the terms of any of that Person’s
Organization Documents;
             (b)   conflict with or result in a material breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien

generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability), except for such Subsidiaries (other than any Company) such that, after the exclusion of such Subsidiaries from the provisions of this  Section 6.4 , this  Section 6.4

Included Country at the time of its creation or Acquisition, or (B) such Subsidiary ceasing to be an Inactive Subsidiary, or (y) within 90 days after any country becomes an Included Country, a Guaranty, (ii) each Person owning any equity interest
(other than directors’ qualifying shares) in each such Included Country Operating Company and each such Included Country Holding Company not owned by Dankalux Sarl or Restricted Subsidiaries to execute and deliver within the time period
specified in clause (i) above a Pledge Agreement (or supplement to an existing Pledge Agreement of such Person) pledging such equity interest, together with such resolutions, stock certificates, opinions of counsel, incumbency certificates and other
documentation as the Agent may reasonably require and (iii) each of the Companies and their Subsidiaries (each, a “Subject Entity”) operating in the United States or in the countries as to which security agreements or other arrangements
referred to in Section 7.15 are required (each of the United States and such other countries being a “Subject Country”), to execute and deliver, as soon as practicable but in any event within 90 days after the creation or Acquisition of
any Subject Entity, or (y) within 90 days after any country becomes a Subject Country, appropriate Security Agreements together with such resolutions, financing statements, opinions of counsel, incumbency certificates and other documentation as the
Agent may reasonably require. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this  Section 7.8  and the definitions of “Included Country” and “Excluded Country” contained herein, 
 
            (i)   it is the intent of the parties hereto that not less than 85% of each of the consolidated revenues and the consolidated assets of Danka PLC and its
Subsidiaries for every fiscal year during the term of this Agreement shall be attributable to the operations and assets of the Companies and the Guarantors and, in furtherance thereof, if at any time the addition of Guarantors shall be required to
meet such thresholds, then the Companies shall promptly notify the Agent of such event which shall identify such additional country or countries which are to be treated as Included Countries, and shall promptly cause to be executed and delivered
such additional Guaranties of all resulting Included Country Operating Companies and Included Country Holding Companies pertaining to such
  76 

  
additional country or countries, appropriate Pledge Agreements (or supplements to existing Pledge Agreements), and related documents described in the first sentence of this  Section
7.8 ; and
 
            (ii)   in the event that, with respect to countries that become Included Countries after the date
hereof (other than by election of the Companies pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i)), the laws of, or action by a competent Governmental Authority in, the applicable Included Country (a “Governmental Impairment”) shall
prohibit or would render unenforceable the Guaranties or Pledge Agreements otherwise required to be furnished pursuant to the first sentence of this  Section 7.8 , then the Companies shall not be deemed to be in default in the performance of
the provisions of this Section 7.8  if (A) the Companies shall (x) give prompt (but in no event later than 30 days after the creation or acquisition of such Subsidiary or such country becoming an Included Country) notice of the existence of
any Governmental Impairment to the Agent, and (y) use, and cause the affected Subsidiaries to use, their best efforts to eliminate or cure the circumstances giving rise to such Governmental Impairment, and (B) excluding the Subsidiaries which remain
subject to Governmental Impairments, not less than 85% of each of the consolidated revenues and the consolidated assets of Danka PLC and its Subsidiaries determined as at the end of the most recently ended fiscal year both before and after giving
effect to such exclusion shall be attributable to the operations and assets of the Companies and the Guarantors. The Companies shall not make any Investments in any Guarantor (or in any Person which upon giving effect to such Investment would result
in such Subsidiary being required to become a Guarantor), if the Guaranty of such Guarantor is limited as to amount unless the Majority Banks shall deem such Guaranty (or a Substitute Guaranty provided by such Guarantor together with such
resolutions, opinions of counsel, incumbency certificates and other documentation as the Agent may require) in a sufficient amount (it being agreed that the Guaranties delivered and accepted as of the Closing Date are in a sufficient amount). At any
time if the Majority Banks request a replacement Guaranty from a Guarantor, which has previously delivered a Guaranty in a limited amount, in a greater amount and the net worth of such Guarantor shall have increased materially since the delivery of
its Guaranty, the Companies shall cause to be delivered to the Agent such a Guaranty in such greater amount as the Majority Banks may request, if permitted by applicable law, together with such resolutions, opinions of counsel, incumbency
certificates and other documentation as the Agent may reasonably request.

Code and other federal or state law; (b) cause each Plan which is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code to maintain such qualification; and (c) make all required contributions to any Plan subject to Section 412
  77 

  of the Code, if the failure to do any or all of the foregoing could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
             
7.10    Release of Pledge . In connection with any merger or consolidation transaction permitted under  Section 8.7  and in which transaction any Person whose equity interests have been pledged to
the Agent pursuant to any Support Document shall not be the survivor thereof, upon the written request to the Agent by, and at the expense of, the Companies, the Agent shall take such action as shall be necessary, without impairing any remaining
rights under the Loan Documents, to release such equity interests from such pledge under the applicable Support Documents; provided, however, that substantially simultaneously with such release the Agent shall receive such Support Documents and
related share certificates, evidences of registration of lien, opinions and other items as the Agent may reasonably require conferring upon the Agent (or providing assurances as to) a perfected lien (of substantially equivalent or higher priority as
the released lien) in the equity interests (other than directors’ qualifying shares) of such resulting or surviving entity.
             
7.11    Swap Contracts . The Companies shall maintain Swap Contracts or other similar arrangements providing protection from material fluctuations in interest rates on the Loans, such Swap Contracts to be
in an aggregate notional amount and on such other terms as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Agent.
             
7.12    Business Plan . The Companies shall as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, but in any case not later than 30 days after such fiscal year-end, deliver to the Agent and the Banks,
a revised three-year business plan (including without limitation a balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flow, in each case to include forecasts on a monthly basis for the immediate succeeding fiscal year, and then on a yearly basis
for each of the next two fiscal years) in reasonable detail.
             
7.13    PricewaterhouseCoopers Retention . The Companies acknowledge and agree that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, from time to time cause its counsel to retain PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as an
independent business consultant (the “ Consultant ”) to assess on behalf of the Agent, its counsel and the Banks the operations, finances, and business affairs of Danka PLC and its Subsidiaries and to furnish reports of its findings
and recommendations solely to the Agent, its counsel and the Banks. The Companies jointly and severally agree to pay all reasonable fees, costs, and expenses of the Consultant incurred in connection with the performance by the Consultant of its
duties described in this paragraph. The Companies shall, and shall cause all Subsidiaries to, cooperate fully and in a timely manner with the Consultant, including its agents and employees.
             
7.14    Rating . The Companies shall use their best efforts to obtain a private rating from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or, if no such private rating can be so obtained from Moody’s, then
from Standard & Poor’s Corporation, with respect to each of the Revolving Loans, Term Loans and L/Cs.
  78 

              
7.15    Foreign Asset Liens . Danka PLC shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, as promptly as practicable, enter into such security agreements or other arrangements as may be reasonably requested by
the Agent in order to grant to the Banks a lien and security interest in the assets of any Subsidiary of Danka PLC operating in Canada, Germany, Netherlands or United Kingdom.

 THE AGENT
             
10.1    Appointment and Authorization; Agent  
             (a)   Each Bank hereby
irrevocably (subject to  Section 10.9 ) appoints, designates and authorizes the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and
 
90 

  perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without
limiting the foregoing, the Agent may accept Support Documents on behalf of the Banks. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be
read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement or any other Loan Document with reference to
the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect
only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. So long as there shall only be one Bank party to this Agreement the term Agent shall mean such Bank.
             (b)   The Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Banks with respect to any Letters of Credit Issued by it and the documents associated therewith until
such time and except for so long as the Agent may agree at the request of the Majority Banks to act for such Issuing Bank with respect thereto; provided, however, that the Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities, including without
limitation the right to resign under  Section 10.9 , (i) provided to the Agent in this  Article X  with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit Issued by it or proposed
to be Issued by it and the application and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in this  Article X , included the Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or
omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to the Issuing Bank.
             
10.2    Delegation of Duties . The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice
of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care.
             
10.3    Liability of Agent . None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be liable to any of the Banks for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Banks for any recital, statement, representation or warranty
made by any Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Company, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or
received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of
any
  91 

  Company or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Bank to ascertain or to
inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Company or any of any Company’s Subsidiaries
or Affiliates.
             
10.4    Reliance by Agent .
             (a)   The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and
shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct
and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Company or any Subsidiary), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent
shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Banks or all the Banks as it deems appropriate and, if it so
requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense, except those arising out of its gross negligence or willful misconduct, which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing
to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Majority Banks or all Banks and such
request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Banks.
             (b)   For purposes
of determining compliance with the conditions specified in  Section 5.1 , each Bank that has executed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter either sent
by the Agent to such Bank for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to such Bank.
             
10.5    Notice of Default . The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal,
interest and fees required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Banks, unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Bank or a Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that
such notice is a “notice of default”. The Agent will notify the Banks of its receipt of any such notice. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Majority Banks in
accordance with  Article IX ; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent has received any such request, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default
or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Banks except to the extent that this Agreement
  92 

  expressly requires that such action be taken, or not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of the Majority Banks or all the Banks.
             
10.6    Credit Decision . Each Bank acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any review
of the affairs of the Companies and their Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Bank. Each Bank represents to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any
Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of each
Company and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Companies hereunder. Each Bank also represents
that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not
taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of each
Company and each Subsidiary. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Banks by the Agent, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other
information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Company or any other Person which may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.
             
10.7    Indemnification of Agent . Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Banks shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or
on behalf of the Companies and without limiting the obligation of the Companies to do so), pro rata, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however, that no Bank shall be liable for the payment to the Agent-Related Persons
of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or
out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise)
of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of
the Companies, except those arising out of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.
  93 

              
10.8    Agent in Individual Capacity . Bank of America and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally
engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though Bank of America were not the Agent or the Issuing Bank hereunder and without notice to or
consent of the Banks. The Banks acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding a Company or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations
in favor of such Company or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any
other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent or the Issuing Bank, and the terms “Bank” and “Banks” include Bank of America in its individual capacity.
             
10.9    Successor Agent and Successor Issuing Bank . Either the Agent or the Issuing Bank, respectively, may resign as Agent or Issuing Bank upon 30 days’ notice to the Banks. If the Agent or
Issuing Bank resigns under this Agreement, the Majority Banks shall appoint from among the Banks a successor agent for the Banks or successor issuing bank, respectively. The appointment of a successor issuing bank shall be subject to the consent of
the Companies which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If no successor agent or successor issuing bank is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent or the Issuing Bank respectively, the Agent or the Issuing Bank may
appoint, after consulting with the Banks and the Companies, a successor agent or successor issuing bank from among the Banks. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent or successor issuing bank hereunder, such successor agent or
successor issuing bank, respectively, shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent or the retiring Issuing Bank and the term “Agent” or “Issuing Bank” shall mean such successor agent or successor
issuing bank and the retiring Agent’s or the retiring Issuing Bank’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent or Issuing Bank shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s or retiring Issuing Bank’s resignation hereunder as
Agent or Issuing Bank, the provisions of this  Article X  and  Sections 11.4 and 11.5  shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent or Issuing Bank under this Agreement. If no
successor agent or successor issuing bank has accepted appointment as Agent or Issuing Bank by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s or retiring Issuing Bank’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s or retiring
Issuing Bank’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Banks shall perform all of the duties of the Agent or Issuing Bank hereunder until such time, if any, as the Majority Banks appoint a successor agent or successor
issuing bank as provided for above.
             
10.10   U.S. Withholding Tax.
             (a)   Any Bank that is a “foreign corporation,
partnership or trust” within the meaning of the Code (a “Foreign Bank”) shall deliver to the Agent and, if Danka Holdings requests delivery thereof by notice to the Agent, to Danka Holdings on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case
of each Bank listed on the signature pages hereof) or on or prior
  94 

  to the later of the Closing Date or the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a participating Bank (in the case of each other Bank):
 
            (i)   two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8 BEN establishing that such Bank is entitled to exemption from
withholding tax under a U.S. tax treaty; or
 
            (ii)   two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form
W-8 ECI establishing that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax in respect of interest payments hereunder because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Bank;
and
 
            (iii)   such additional IRS Forms W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI or other form or forms as may be required from time to
time under the Code or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax.
 Such Bank agrees to promptly notify the Agent and, if Danka Holdings
requests notification thereof by notice to the Agent, Danka Holdings of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.
             (b)   The Companies shall not be required to pay any additional amount to the Agent or to any Foreign Bank in respect of United States withholding tax
under clause (b)(i) of  Section 4 .1 if such Bank shall have failed to satisfy the requirements of  Section 10.10(a) ;  provided ,  however , that if such Bank shall have satisfied the requirements of  Section 10.10(a)
 on the Closing Date (in the case of each Bank listed on the signature pages hereof) or on the later of the Closing Date or the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which such Bank became a participating Bank (in the case of each other
Bank) nothing in this  Section 10.10(b)  shall relieve any Company of its obligation to pay additional amounts pursuant to clause (b)(i) of  Section 4.1  in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or
governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Bank is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact
that such Bank is not subject to withholding as described in clause (a)(i) of this  Section 10.10 .
             (c)   If any Bank
claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty by providing IRS Form W-8 BEN and such Bank sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of the Companies to
such Bank, such Bank agrees to notify the Agent and, as limited above, Danka Holding of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of the Companies to such Bank. To the extent of such percentage amount, the
Agent and Danka Holding will treat such Bank’s IRS Form W-8 BEN as no longer valid.
  95 

              (d)   If any Bank claiming exemption from United States withholding tax by filing IRS Form W-8 ECI with
the Agent and, as limited above, Danka Holding sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of the Companies to such Bank, such Bank agrees to undertake sole responsibility for complying with the
withholding tax requirements imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code.
             (e)   If any Bank is entitled to a reduction in
the applicable withholding tax, the Agent, or Danka Holding, as the case may be, may withhold from any interest payment to such Bank an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. However, if the
forms or other documentation required by subsection (a) of this Section are not delivered to the Agent, then the Agent or Danka Holding may withhold from any interest payment to such Bank not providing such forms or other documentation an amount
equivalent to the applicable withholding tax imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code, without reduction.
             (f)   If the
IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Agent or Danka Holding, as the case may be, did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Bank (because the
appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Bank failed to notify the Agent or, as limited above, Danka Holding of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax
ineffective, or for any other reason) such Bank shall indemnify the Agent or Danka Holding fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent or Danka Holding as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any
taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent or Danka Holding under this Section, together with all costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs). The obligation of the Banks under this subsection shall survive the payment
of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.
             (g)   Each Bank that is not a Foreign Bank shall
complete and deliver to the Agent and, as limited above, Danka Holding, a statement signed by an authorized signatory of such Bank to the effect that it is a United States Person together with a duly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-9 (or
any successor form) establishing that such Bank is not subject to U.S. backup withholding tax. To the extent that any provision of  Article IV  shall conflict with this  Section 10.10 , then this  Section 10.10  shall
control.
             
10.11    United Kingdom Withholding .
             (a)   Each Bank that is not a United
Kingdom Bank (as defined in Section 840A of the United Kingdom Income and Corporation Taxes Act of 1988) subject to United Kingdom corporation tax as respects interest payments to it pursuant to this Agreement shall deliver to the Agent, on or prior
to the Closing Date (in the case of each Bank listed on the signature pages hereof) or on or prior to the later of the Closing Date or the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a participating Bank (in the case of each other
Bank) (I) appropriate documentation (i) establishing that 
  96 

  such Bank is entitled to exemption from United Kingdom withholding tax in respect of interest payments hereunder under a United Kingdom tax treaty with the appropriate jurisdiction, or (ii)
establishing that it is otherwise entitled to receive payments without such withholding and (II) a properly completed and executed official document similar to  Schedule 10.11(a)  attached claiming an exemption from future withholding taxes
and naming Danka PLC as agent for the receipt of repayment of U.K. withholding taxes already withheld;
             (b)   Each Bank that
is a United Kingdom Bank (as defined in Section 840A of the United Kingdom Income and Corporation Taxes Act of 1988) shall complete and deliver to the Agent a statement signed by an authorized signatory of such Bank, and any other documentation
reasonably required, to the effect that it is subject to United Kingdom corporation tax on interest payable to it pursuant to this Agreement;
             (c)   The Companies shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any non-United Kingdom Bank or United Kingdom Bank in respect of United Kingdom
withholding taxes under clause (b)(i) of  Section 4.1  if such Bank shall have failed to satisfy the requirements of  Section 10.11(a)  in the case of a non-United Kingdom Bank, or  Section 10.11(b)  in the case of a United
Kingdom Bank;  provided , however, that if such Bank shall have satisfied the requirements of such  Sections 10.11(a)  or  (b)  on the Closing Date (in the case of each Bank listed on the signature pages hereof) or on the later
of the Closing Date or the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which such Bank became a participating Bank (in the case of each other Bank), nothing in this  Section 10.11(c)  shall relieve the Company of its obligation to pay
additional amounts pursuant to clause (b)(i) of Section 4.1 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application
thereof, such Bank is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Bank is not subject to withholding as described in subsection (a) of this  Section 10.11
.
             (d)   If the Companies have to (i) withhold tax on payments of interest to any Bank that is not a United Kingdom Bank
(as defined in  Section 10.11(a)  and (ii) make additional payments to such Bank under clause (b) of  Section 4.1  in respect of such withholding, such Bank will with reasonable promptness and to the extent permitted by law complete
and properly execute a refund claim on an official document similar to that in  Schedule 10.11(d)  and mandate the United Kingdom Inland Revenue to pay any refund of income tax due to Danka PLC and file such form with the appropriate tax
authority for certification, all at the sole cost and expense of the Companies. If any refund of income tax is received by any Bank, such Bank will pay such refund promptly to Danka PLC. To the extent that any provision of  Article IV  shall
conflict with this  Section 10.11 , then this  Section 10.11  shall control.
  97

11.2    Notices .
             (a)   All notices, requests, consents, approvals, waivers
and other communications may be in writing or oral if confirmed in writing (which includes confirmation by facsimile) at the address or number specified in  Schedule 11.2.

incurred by Bank of America (including in its capacity as Agent and Issuing Bank) in connection with the development, preparation, delivery, and execution of, and any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to (in each case, whether or not
consummated but only if requested or caused by a Company or a Subsidiary), this 
 99

  Agreement, any other Loan Document and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including
reasonable Attorney Costs incurred by Bank of America (including in its capacity as Agent and Issuing Bank) with respect thereto; and
             (b)   pay or reimburse the Agent and each Bank within thirty days after invoice for all reasonable costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred

costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever (other than expenses described in  Section 11.4  whether or not required to be reimbursed thereunder) which may at any time (including at
any time following repayment of the Loans, the termination of the Letters of Credit or this Agreement and the termination, resignation or replacement of the Agent or replacement of any Bank) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such
Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any document contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or any action taken or omitted by any such Person under or in
connection with any of the foregoing, including with respect to any investigation, litigation or proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding or appellate proceeding) related to or arising out of this Agreement or the Loans or Letters of Credit
or the use of the proceeds thereof, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, that the Companies shall have no obligation hereunder to any
Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person; and provided further the Companies shall have no obligations with respect to tax
liabilities, funding costs or capital costs of any Indemnified Person except as set forth in this Agreement. The agreements in this Section shall survive payment of all other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
             At the election of any Indemnified Person, the Companies shall defend such Indemnified Person using legal counsel mutually acceptable to the Companies,
the Agent, the Majority Banks and such Indemnified Person, at the sole cost and expense of the
 100

  Companies. All amounts owing under this Section shall be paid within 30 days after demand.
             
11.6    Marshalling; Payments Set Aside . Neither the Agent nor the Banks shall be under any obligation to marshall any assets in favor of any Company or any other Person or against or in payment of any
or all of the Obligations. To the extent that a Company makes a payment to the Agent or the Banks, or the Agent or the Banks exercise their right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Agent or such Bank in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with
any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such
set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Bank severally agrees (to the extent it shall have shared in any such recovery) to pay to the Agent upon demand its pro rata share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Agent.
             
11.7    Successors and Assigns . The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the
Companies may not assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Bank.
             
11.8    Assignments, Participations, Etc. 
             (a)   Any Bank may, with the
written consent of the Agent and (if a Bank’s L/C Commitment is being assigned and delegated) the Issuing Bank, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld, at any time assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (provided that
no written consent of the Agent or the Issuing Bank shall be required in connection with any assignment and delegation by a Bank to any other Bank or to an Eligible Assignee that is an Affiliate of such Bank or any other Bank) (each an
“Assignee”) all, or any part (which may be a varying percentage, or none, of each of the following) of any of the Loans, its Revolving Commitment, its L/C Commitment, its Total Commitment, the L/C Obligations, the Swing Line
Participations, and the other rights and obligations of such Bank hereunder, in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 (or $1,000,000 if the assignment or delegation is to an existing Bank) or, if lower, an amount equal to such Bank’s entire
Total Commitment; provided, however, that each Company and the Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (A) written notice of such assignment, together with
payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to each Company and the Agent by such Bank and the Assignee; (B) such Bank and its Assignee shall have delivered to each Company and the
Agent an Assignment and Acceptance in the form of  Exhibit K  (“Assignment and Acceptance”) together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment; and (C) the assignor Bank or Assignee has paid to the Agent a 

101

  processing fee in the amount of $5,000 (which shall not be waived). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Bank may effect an assignment under this  Section 11.8(a)  if after giving effect
thereto its remaining aggregate Commitment shall be less than $5,000,000, unless such assignment shall be part of a series of transactions disclosed by such Bank to the Agent to effect the disposition of all of such Bank’s interests in the Loan
Documents.
             (b)   From and after the date that the Agent notifies the assignor Bank that it has received (and provided its
consent with respect to) an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the above-referenced processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it
pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Bank under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assignor Bank shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been
assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents. Upon the request of the Assignee, the Companies shall issue Notes to the Assignee.
             (c)   Within five Business Days after their receipt of notice from the Agent that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance
and payment of the processing fee, the Companies shall execute and deliver to the Agent a new Revolving Loan Note evidencing such Assignee’s assigned Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitment and a new Term Loan Note evidencing such
Assignee’s assigned Term Loans and, if the assignor Bank has retained a portion of its Revolving Loans and its Revolving Commitment and Term Loan, a replacement Revolving Loan Note in the principal amount of the Revolving Commitment it has
retained (such Revolving Loan Note to be in exchange for, but not in payment of, the Revolving Loan Note held by such Bank) and a replacement Term Loan Note in the principal amount of the Term Loan it has retained (such Term Loan Note to be in
exchange for, but not in payment of, the Term Loan Note held by such Bank). Immediately upon payment of the processing fee under the Assignment and Acceptance, this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent,
necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitment of the assigning Bank pro tanto.
             (d)   Any Bank may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons not Affiliates of a Company (a
“Participant”) participating interests in any Loans, the Commitment of that Bank and the other interests of that Bank (the “Originating Bank”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the
Originating Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) each Company, the Issuing Bank and the Agent shall continue to
deal solely and directly with the Originating Bank in connection with the originating Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) no Bank shall transfer or grant any participating interest under
which the Participant has rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment, consent or waiver 
 102

  would require unanimous consent of the Banks as described in the first proviso to  Section 11.1. In the case of any such participation, the Participant shall be entitled to the
benefit of  Sections 4.1 ,  4.3 ,  4.4  and  11.5  as though it were also a Bank hereunder (provided that no Participant shall be entitled to any payment under  Section 4.1 ,  4.3  or  4.4  in excess
of the payment which would have been payable to the Originating Bank if it had not so sold a participation), and not have any rights under this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, and all amounts payable by the Companies hereunder shall
be determined as if such Bank had not sold such participation; except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest, subject in all events to  Section 2.18  as if such Participant were a Bank, in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if
the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Bank under this Agreement.
             (e)   Notwithstanding any
other provision in this Agreement, any Bank may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement and the Notes held by it in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance
with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law.
             (f)   Any assignment or participation shall be subject to the assignee’s or the participant’s agreement to be bound by all applicable
confidentiality restrictions.
             (g)   Notwithstanding an assignment, the Bank making the assignment shall continue to have the
benefits of  Article IV  and  Sections 11.4  and  11.5  with respect to the period prior to the assignment.
             
11.9   [Intentionally Omitted].
             
11.10    Confidentiality . Each Bank agrees to take and to cause its Affiliates to take normal and reasonable precautions and exercise due care to maintain the confidentiality of all information provided
to it by each Company or any Subsidiary, or by the Agent on such Company’s or Subsidiary’s behalf, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall use any such information other than in
connection with or in enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with other business now or hereafter existing or contemplated with the Companies or any Subsidiary; except to the extent such information (i) was or
becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Agent or such Bank, or (ii) was or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Companies, provided that such source is not bound by
a confidentiality agreement with the Companies known to the Bank;  provided ,  however , that any Bank may disclose such information (A) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority to which such Bank is
subject or in connection with an examination of such Bank by any such authority; (B)
 103

  pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (C) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law; (D) to the extent reasonably required in
connection with any litigation or proceeding to which the Agent, any Bank or their respective Affiliates may be party; (E) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document;
(F) to such Bank’s independent auditors and other professional advisors provided that such Person shall be notified of its obligation to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Banks hereunder; (G) to any
Participant or Assignee, actual or potential, provided that such Person agrees in writing to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Banks hereunder; (H) as to any Bank or its Affiliate, as expressly permitted under the
terms of any other document or agreement regarding confidentiality to which the Companies or any Subsidiary is party or is deemed party with such Bank or such Affiliate; and (I) to its Affiliates. The Bank disclosing information pursuant to the
above proviso (except pursuant to clauses (A), (E), (F), (G), (H) or (I)) shall to the extent permitted by law give prior notice thereof to the Companies and shall limit such disclosures to the information so required.
             
11.11    Set-off . In addition to any rights and remedies of the Banks provided by law, if an Event of Default exists or the Loans have been accelerated, each Bank is authorized at any time and from time
to time, without prior notice to any Company, any such notice being waived by each Company to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held
by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Bank to or for the credit or the account of such Company against any and all Obligations then due and owing, or in case of Letters of Credit, which may become due and owing, to such Bank, now or

Guarantors (collectively, the “Obligors”) and each of the Banks agree that the Agent shall be the joint creditor (together with the relevant Bank) of each and every obligation of any Obligor towards each of the Banks under this Agreement,
and that accordingly the Agent will have its own independent right to demand performance by the relevant Obligor of those obligations. However, any discharge of any such obligation to one of the Agent or the relevant Bank shall, to the same extent,
discharge the corresponding obligation owing to the other.
             (b)   Without limiting or affecting the Agent’s rights
against any Obligor (whether under this paragraph or under any other provision of the Loan Documents), the Agent agrees with each other Bank (on a several and divided basis) that, subject as set out in the next sentence, it will not exercise its
rights as a joint creditor with a Bank except with the consent of the relevant Bank. However, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the previous sentence shall in any way limit the Agent’s right to act in the protection or preservation of
rights under or to enforce any Support Document as contemplated by this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and/or the relevant Support Document (or to do any act reasonably incidental to any of the foregoing). In furtherance of the foregoing, each
Bank hereby (a) ratifies (i) the Spanish notarial policy (“poliza intervenida”) of guarantee granted by Danka Office Imaging, S.A. and intervened by the Spanish Notary public, Manuel Richi Alberdi on 10th August, 2001, (ii) the Spanish
notarial policy (“poliza intervenida”) of guarantee granted by Danka Holdings Iberia, S.A. and intervened by the Spanish Notary public, Manuel Richi Alberdi on 10th August, 2001, and (iii) Spanish notarial policy (“poliza
intervenida”) of pledge of shares of Danka Office Imaging, S.A. granted by Danka Holdings Iberia, S.A. and intervened by the Spanish Notary public, Manuel Richi Alberdi on 10th August, 2001, and (b) authorizes the Agent to enforce such Support
Documents on behalf of each Bank.

defined in the International Swing Line Agreement, dated as of January 24, 1997 and as amended, among the Companies and ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and Bank of America, as “International Swing Line Banks”) are Obligations as defined
herein.
 107

              
11.25    Amendment and Restatement . This Agreement shall constitute an amendment and restatement of all of the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Each of the undersigned
Banks hereby consents to all of the amendments to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents executed and delivered in connection herewith do not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing, or termination of the Obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents; (b) such Obligations are in
all respects continuing (as amended and restated hereby) with only the terms thereof being modified as provided in this Agreement; and (c) the Liens and security interests granted under the Loan Documents securing payment of such Obligations are in
