Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 21, 2005, IKON Office Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") announced the sale of $225 million aggregate principal amount of 7 ¾% senior notes due 2015 (the "Senior Notes"). The Company sold the Senior Notes to the initial purchasers ("Initial Purchasers") identified on and pursuant to the terms of a Purchase Agreement entered into between the parties on September 16, 2005. A copy of the press release announcing the sale of the Notes is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

Indenture

The Company also entered into an Indenture governing the Senior Notes, dated as of September 21, 2005, with The Bank of New York, as trustee (the "Indenture"). The Senior Notes are unsecured and rank pari passu to existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company and are effectively subordinated to (i) secured indebtedness of the Company and (ii) all indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Senior Notes bear interest payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year commencing on March 15, 2006. Among other things, the Indenture provides that the Senior Notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at any time after September 15, 2010, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture. The Company may also redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes using the proceeds of certain equity offerings at any time prior to September 15, 2008.

The Indenture also contains certain covenants which restrict the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things:, incur additional indebtedness; pay dividends on stock, redeem stock or redeem subordinated debt; make investments; guarantee other indebtedness; sell our assets; enter into agreements that restrict dividends or other distributions from restricted subsidiaries; enter into transactions with affiliates; create or assume liens; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; and engage in mergers or consolidations. If the Company fails to comply with such covenants, the trustee or holders of the Senior Notes could declare all the Senior Notes to be due and payable, or if certain other events of default relating to bankruptcy and insolvency occur, the Senior Notes could be immediately due and payable. All of these limitations and restrictions are subject to a number of significant exceptions, and some of these covenants will cease to be applicable before the Senior Notes mature if the Senior Notes attain an investment grade rating.
A copy of the Indenture is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report. The foregoing description of the Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual agreement.

Registration Rights Agreement

The Company and the Initial Purchasers have also entered into a registration rights agreement dated as of September 21, 2005 (the "Registration Rights Agreement") pursuant to which the Company has agreed to file an exchange offer registration statement, within 110 days after the issue date of the Senior Notes, which will allow holders to exchange the Senior Notes for a new issue of substantially identical debt securities registered under the Securities Act. The Company has also agreed to file a shelf registration statement to cover resales of the Senior Notes under certain circumstances. If the Company fails to satisfy certain of its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, it will have to pay additional interest to the holders of the Senior Notes.

A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this report. The foregoing description the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual agreement.
