Dear Sirs:

BANCTEC, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), proposes to issue and sell to you, Friedman, Billings, Xxxxxx & Co., Inc. ("FBR"), as initial purchaser, a number of shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock") equal to 40,500,000 shares less the number of Regulation D Shares sold in the Private Placement (each as defined herein) (the "144A/Regulation S Shares").

FBR will also act as the Company's sole placement agent in connection with the Company's offer and sale to certain "Accredited Investors" (as such term is defined in Regulation D ("Regulation D") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") of (a) that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the difference between 40,500,000 shares and the number of 144A/Regulation S Shares (the "Regulation D Shares" and, together with the 144A/Regulation S Shares, the "Initial Shares"), and (b) the Placed Option Shares (as defined herein), as set forth in the Final Memorandum (as defined herein) under the headings "Plan of Distribution" and "Private Placement". The offer and sale of the shares described in the first sentence of this paragraph (the "Private Placement Shares") is referred to herein as the "Private Placement".

In addition, the Company proposes to grant to you the option described in Section 1(c) hereof to purchase or place all or any part of 6,075,000 additional shares of Common Stock (the "Option Shares" and, together with the Initial Shares, the "Shares") to cover additional allotments, if any.

The offer and sale of the Shares to you and to the Accredited Investors, respectively, will be made without registration of the Shares under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder (the "Securities Act Regulations"), in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(2) thereof. You have advised the Company that you will make offers and sales ("Exempt Resales") of the 144A/Regulation S Shares and the Purchased Option Shares (as defined herein) purchased by you hereunder (such shares referred to collectively herein as "Resale Shares") in accordance with Section 3 hereof on the terms set forth in the Final Memorandum (as defined herein), as soon as you deem advisable after this Agreement has been executed and delivered.

In connection with the offer and sale of the Shares, the Company has prepared a preliminary offering memorandum, subject to completion, dated May 30, 2007, and amendments or supplements thereto (the "Preliminary Memorandum"), and a final offering memorandum, dated the date hereof and as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time (the "Final Memorandum"). Each of the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum sets forth certain information concerning the Company and the Shares. The Company hereby confirms that it has authorized the use of the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum in connection with (i) the offering and resale of the Resale Shares by FBR, as initial purchaser, in accordance with Section 3 hereof and (ii) the offering and sale of the Private Placement Shares by the Company through FBR as sole placement agent in connection with the Private Placement. Any references to the Preliminary Memorandum or the Final Memorandum shall be deemed to include all Exhibits and Annexes thereto.

It is understood and acknowledged that holders (including subsequent transferees) of the Shares will have the registration rights set forth in the registration rights agreement between the Company and FBR, which shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and dated as of the Closing

Time (as defined herein) (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), for so long as such securities constitute "Registrable Shares" (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement).

Pursuant to, and subject to the terms of, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will agree to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), under the circumstances set forth therein, (i) a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act for the initial public offering of Common Stock that includes the resale by holders of the Registrable Shares and/or (ii) a shelf registration statement on Form S-1 or such other appropriate form pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act relating to the resale by holders of the Registrable Shares, and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such registration statement to be declared effective.

The Company and FBR agree as follows:

1. Sale and Purchase.

(a) 144A/Regulation S Shares. Upon the basis of the warranties and representations and other terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to issue and sell to FBR and FBR agrees to purchase from the Company the 144A/Regulation S Shares at a purchase price of $7.44 per share (the "144A/Regulation S Purchase Price").

As compensation for the services to be provided by FBR in connection with the Private Placement, the Company shall pay to FBR at each of the Closing Time and any Secondary Closing Time (as defined herein), to the extent applicable, an amount equal to $0.56 per Private Placement Share sold at such time (the "Placement Fee").

The option granted hereby will expire thirty (30) days after the date hereof and may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time in one or more installments, including at the Closing Time, only for the purpose of covering additional allotments which may be made in connection with the offering and distribution of the Initial Shares upon written notice by FBR to the Company setting forth (i) the number of Option Shares as to which FBR is then exercising the option, (ii) the names and denominations to which the Option Shares are to be delivered in book-entry form through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), (iii) the number of Option Shares that will be Purchased Option Shares and the number of Option Shares that will be Placed Option Shares, and (iv) the time and date of payment for and delivery of such Option Shares in book-entry form.

(iii) a bring down "comfort" letter from Deloitte & Touche LLP, in form and substance satisfactory to FBR, dated as of each Secondary Closing Time, substantially the same in scope and substance as the letter furnished to FBR pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 6, except that the "specified date" in the letter furnished pursuant to this subsection (m)(iv) shall be a date not more than five days prior to such Secondary Closing Time.

In the event that any "comfort" letter referred to in subsection (b) of this Section 6 or this subsection (k)(iii) sets forth any such changes, decreases or increases that, in the reasonable discretion of FBR, are likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, it shall be a further condition to the obligations of FBR that such letter shall be accompanied by a written explanation of the Company as to the significance thereof, unless FBR deems such explanation unnecessary. References to the Preliminary Memorandum, the Disclosure Package and/or Final Memorandum with respect to any "comfort" letter referred to in this Section 6 shall include any amendment or supplement thereto at the date of such letter.

If FBR elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 7, the Company shall be notified promptly by letter or fax.

If the sale to FBR of the Resale Shares, as contemplated by this Agreement, is not carried out by FBR for any reason permitted under this Agreement or if such sale is not carried out because the Company shall be unable to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement, (i) the Company shall not be under any obligation or liability to FBR under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Sections 5(k), 5(p) and 8 hereof), and (ii) FBR shall be under no obligation or liability to the Company under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Section 8 hereof).

8. Indemnity.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless FBR and its affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, representatives and agents, and any person who controls FBR within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any loss, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable costs of investigation)

which, jointly or severally, FBR or any such controlling person may incur under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon (i) any breach by the Company of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth herein, or (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Disclosure Package or the Final Memorandum, or that arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as any such loss, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in and in conformity with information furnished in writing by FBR to the Company expressly for use in such Preliminary Memorandum, the Disclosure Package or Final Memorandum (that information being expressly limited to the information set forth in the last sentence of Section 8(c) hereof).

(b) FBR agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its directors and officers and any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any loss, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable costs of investigation) which, jointly or severally, the Company or any such person may incur under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in and made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing by FBR to the Company expressly for use in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Disclosure Package or Final Memorandum (or in any amendment or supplement thereof by the Company), such information being limited to the following: information provided by FBR to the Company as disclosed in the paragraph on the cover page immediately preceding FBR's name at the bottom of the page and the second, seventh (solely with respect to the fourth sentence) and eighth paragraphs of the section entitled "Plan of Distribution" in both the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum.

(c) If any action is brought against any person or entity (each an "Indemnified Party"), in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or (b) above, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party(ies) obligated to provide such indemnity (each an "Indemnifying Party") in writing of the institution of such action and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel and payment of expenses; provided that the failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to any Indemnified Party unless and to the extent the Indemnifying Party did not otherwise know of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Party of rights and defenses that would have had material value in the defense. The Indemnified Party(ies) shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such action or the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time or such Indemnified Party(ies) shall have reasonably concluded (based on the written advice of counsel) that counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party has an actual conflict of interest or there may be material defenses available to the Indemnified Party(ies) which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party(ies) but shall have the right to participate, at its own expense), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of counsel (in addition to local counsel) for the Indemnified Party in any one

action or series of related actions in the same jurisdiction representing the Indemnified Parties who are parties to such action). Anything in this Section 8(c) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such claim or action effected without its written consent. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle any such claim or action for itself and any Indemnified Party so long as the Indemnifying Party pays any settlement payment and such settlement (i) includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all losses, expenses, claims, damages, injunctions, liability and other obligations with respect to any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party under Section 8(a) and (b) hereof in respect of any losses, expenses, liabilities or claims referred to therein, then each applicable Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, expenses, liabilities or claims (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and FBR, on the other hand, from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of FBR, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, expenses, liabilities or claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and FBR, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering of the Shares (net of initial purchaser discounts, commissions and placement fees but before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the discounts and commissions received by FBR. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of FBR, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Company or by FBR and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any claim or action.

(e) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d) hereof. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Xxxxxxx 0, XXX shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of any Placement Fee actually received by FBR with respect to the Regulation D Shares and the Placed Option Shares; and (ii) the aggregate amount of FBR's discount on the 144A/Regulation S Shares and the Purchased Option Shares (as described in the Final Memorandum). No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 and the covenants, warranties and representations of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of FBR or its affiliates, or their respective directors, officers, representatives and agents, or any person who controls FBR within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or by or on behalf of the Company or their respective directors and officers or any person

who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the sale and delivery of the Shares. Each party to this Agreement agrees promptly to notify the other party of the commencement of any litigation or proceeding against it and, in the case of the Company, against any of its respective officers and directors, in connection with the sale and delivery of the Shares, or in connection with the Disclosure Package and/or Final Memorandum.

9. Notices. Except as otherwise herein provided, all statements, requests, notices and agreements shall be in writing delivered by facsimile (with receipt confirmed), overnight courier or registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by telegram and:

(a) if to FBR, shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent to Friedman, Billings, Xxxxxx & Co., Inc., 0000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Compliance Department, (facsimile: 703-312-9698); with a copy (which shall not constitute valid notice under this Section 9) to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Scarborough LLP, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx XX, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxx X.

Xxxxx Xxxxx (facsimile: (000) 000-0000; with a copy (which shall not constitute valid notice under this Section 9) to Xxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, LLP, 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx (facsimile: 214-746-7777).

10. Duties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create a partnership, joint venture or agency relationship between the parties. FBR undertakes to perform such duties and obligations only as expressly set forth herein. Such duties and obligations of FBR with respect to the Shares shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, and FBR shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations with respect to the Shares as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. The Company acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the offering price of the Shares and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm's-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and FBR, on the other hand, and the Company is capable of evaluating and understanding (and in fact understands and accepts) the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in connection with each transaction contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction FBR is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary of the Company or any of its officers, directors, affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other party; (iii) FBR has not assumed and will not assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether FBR has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters); and (iv) FBR and its affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and FBR has no obligation to disclose any of such interests. The Company acknowledges that FBR disclaims any implied duties (including any fiduciary duty), covenants or obligations arising from its performance of the duties and obligations expressly set forth herein. The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company may have against FBR with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

11. GOVERNING LAW; HEADINGS. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER STATE. The section headings in this Agreement have been inserted as a matter of convenience of reference and are not a part of this Agreement.

12. Parties at Interest. The Agreement herein set forth has been and is made solely for the benefit of FBR and the Company and the controlling persons, directors and officers referred to in Section 8 hereof, and their respective successors, assigns, executors and administrators. No other person, partnership, association or corporation (including a purchaser of the Shares, in his, her or its capacity as such, from FBR) shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement.

13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed by the parties in counterparts, which together shall constitute one and the same agreement among the parties.

EXHIBIT A

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

EXHIBIT B

The BancTec, Inc. Rule 144A offering and private placement of common stock has reduced its expected price to $8.00 per share from a price of $10.00 per share and FBR has notified the company that it will be exercising the additional allotment option in full (which will result in an increase in the number of shares sold from 40.5 million shares to 46.6 million shares). Assuming an offering price of $8.00 per share, the net proceeds to the company will be reduced from the estimated $375.1 million in the preliminary offering memorandum to an estimated $345.0 million. Approximately $282.4 million of the proceeds will be used to pay off the Senior Notes ($96.1 million), the Sponsor Note ($113.5 million); the Series A Preferred Stock ($20.3 million); the Series B Preferred Stock ($22.2 million) and to pay $30.3 million of the line of credit. Approximately $47.7 million will be used to retire all outstanding common stock and options and approximately $14.9 million will be used for working capital. In addition to the 2007 option plan incentives described in the preliminary offering memorandum, an additional 466,000 shares of restricted stock (or approximately 1% of the post-offering capitalization) will be allocated to the management team and vest over four years.

EXHIBIT C-1

SUBSTANCE OF OPINION OF COMPANY COUNSEL

Set forth below is the form of opinion to be provided by Weil, Gotshal & Xxxxxx, LLP pursuant to Section 6(a) and, if applicable, Section 6(k), of the Purchase/Placement Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the same meanings as in the Purchase/ Placement Agreement.

1. The Company is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. The Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction identified on Schedule A hereto, except (i) to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole and (ii) except no opinion is given regarding the good standing of the Company in New York solely as relates to the payment of franchise taxes in New York as we have not been able to obtain a certificate under recent date from the New York State Department of Revenue evidencing such payment.

2. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. Immediately prior to the Closing Time, there were 18,185,784 shares of common stock and 189,520 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. Immediately after the Closing Time, there are [46,575,000] shares of common stock and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding; all of such outstanding shares are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, with no personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof and have not been issued in violation of any preemptive rights pursuant to law or in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws. To our knowledge, there are no outstanding securities of the Company or any Subsidiary (as hereinafter defined) convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase or subscribe for any shares of capital stock of the Company, there are no outstanding or authorized options, warrants, calls, subscriptions, rights, commitments or any other instruments or agreements of any character obligating the Company or any Subsidiary to issue any shares of its capital stock or any securities convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase or subscribe for any shares of such stock, and there are no agreements or understandings with respect to the voting, sale or transfer of any shares of capital stock of the Company to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party other than (i) the 2,763,500 shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding options granted pursuant to the Company's 2000 Stock Plan, (ii) the 2,760,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to options to be granted pursuant to the Company's 2007 Equity Incentive Plan in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, (iii) the 750,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to warrants granted in connection with the Company's Series A preferred stock and (iv) the equity commitment from BancTec Intermediate Holding, Inc. to purchase up to $7 million of additional shares of the Company's Series B preferred stock.

3. The issuance and sale of the Shares to be issued pursuant to the Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and, when issued as contemplated by the Agreement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and with no personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof and will not and have not been issued in violation of any preemptive right pursuant to law or in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws. To our knowledge, there are no agreements or understandings with respect to the voting, sale or transfer of any Shares to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party.

4. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the subsidiaries listed on Schedule B hereto (each, a "Subsidiary") are owned of record, and to our knowledge beneficially, directly or indirectly by the Company. To our knowledge, such shares are free and clear of all adverse claims,

limitations on voting rights, options and other encumbrances and are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and have not been issued in violation of any preemptive rights pursuant to law or such Subsidiary's charter or bylaws. To our knowledge, there are no outstanding or authorized options, warrants, calls, subscriptions, rights, commitments or other instruments or agreements of any character obligating the Company or any Subsidiary to issue any shares of capital stock of any Subsidiary or any securities convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase or subscribe for any shares of such stock, and there are no agreements or understandings with respect to the voting, sale or transfer of any shares of capital stock of any Subsidiary. To our knowledge, there are no outstanding contractual obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any outstanding shares of capital stock or other ownership interests of any Subsidiary or to provide funds to or make any investment (in the form of a loan, capital contribution or otherwise) in any Subsidiary or any other entity.

5. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement by the Company have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. The Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company.

6. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of each of the Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the issuance, sale and delivery of the Shares by the Company, will not conflict with, constitute a default under or violate (i) any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, (ii) any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any document, agreement or other instrument listed on Schedule C hereto, (iii) any New York, Delaware corporate or federal law or regulation (other than federal and state securities or blue sky laws, as to which we express no opinion in this paragraph) or (iv) any judgment, writ, injunction, decree, order or ruling of any court or governmental authority binding on the Company or any Subsidiary of which we are aware.

7. No consent, approval, waiver, license or authorization or other action by or filing with any New York, Delaware corporate, Texas or federal governmental authority is required in connection with the execution and delivery by the Company of the Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby or the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder, except for: (i) such as have been obtained or made, or will have been obtained or made at the Closing Time, (ii) any necessary qualification under the securities or blue sky laws of the various jurisdictions in which the Shares are being offered, (iii) the filing of a Form D with the Commission with respect to the sale by the Company of Regulation D Shares and (iv) the actions of federal and state securities regulatory authorities in connection with the filing and/or review of the registration statement(s) required by the Registration Rights Agreement.

8. To our knowledge, there is no litigation, proceeding or governmental investigation pending or overtly threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or to which any of the properties of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject that would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, other than as described in the Disclosure Package or the Final Memorandum.

9. The execution, delivery and performance of the Registration Rights Agreement by the Company has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. The Registration Rights Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other parties thereto) constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors' rights and remedies generally, and

subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution thereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto; and there are no persons with registration or similar rights to have any securities registered by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries under the Securities Act other than pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

10. The Company is not, and after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Shares and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in both the Disclosure Package and Final Memorandum will not be, an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

11. The statements in the Final Memorandum under the captions: "Available Information"; "Business—Legal Proceedings"; "Executive Compensation"; "Compensation Discussion and Analysis"; "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions"; "Description of Capital Stock"; "Description of Indebtedness" and "Private Placement" in each case insofar as such statements constitute summaries of the legal matters, documents or proceedings referred to therein, fairly present the information called for with respect to such legal matters, documents and proceedings and fairly summarize the matters referred to therein in all material respects.

12. The statements in the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum under the captions "ERISA Considerations" and "U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to Non-U.S. Holders," insofar as they describe certain matters of United States ERISA and Federal tax law and regulations or legal conclusions with respect thereto, are accurate in all material respects.

13. Assuming (i) the representations of the Company and FBR contained in the Agreement are true, correct and complete, (ii) compliance by the Company and FBR with their covenants set forth in the Agreement, (iii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties made in accordance with the Agreement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum by purchasers to whom FBR initially resells the Shares, (iv) that purchasers to whom FBR initially resells the Shares receive a copy of the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum prior to such sale or a preliminary offering circular containing a section captioned "Notice to Investors" that is substantially similar to the section captioned "Notice to Investors" in the Final Memorandum and execute a purchaser's letter as described in the Agreement and (v) that accredited investors that purchase directly from the Company receive a copy of the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum prior to such sale or a preliminary offering circular containing a section captioned "Notice to Investors" that is substantially similar to the section captioned "Notice to Investors" in the Final Memorandum and execute a subscription agreement as described in the Agreement, it is not necessary in connection with (x) the offer, sale and delivery of the Shares to FBR pursuant to the Agreement, (y) the offer and resales of the Shares by FBR or (z) the offer, sale and delivery of the Shares to the accredited investors pursuant to the Agreement, in each case, in the manner contemplated by the Agreement and described in the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum, to register the issuance of the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

14. BancTec Limited is duly incorporated under the laws of England and Wales and has power under its memorandum of association to purchase or lease property. In rendering the foregoing opinions, we carried out an on-line company search through the English Companies House direct service in respect of BancTec Limited on June 18, 2007 at approximately 1:30 PM. We confirm that at approximately 11:20 AM on June 18, 2007, we made a telephone inquiry of the Central Registry of Winding-Up Petitions and requested the clerk to carry out a search of the computer register of winding-up petitions and the manual register of administration petitions in the London area in relation to BancTec Limited. The clerk confirmed that there were no entries against BancTec Limited at that time. These searches and inquiries do not necessarily reveal the up to date position of BancTec Limited. We have assumed that the information revealed by our online

inquiry search through the Companies House Direct service in respect of BancTec Limited of June 18, 2007 was accurate in all respects and that nothing has occurred since that search to make that information inaccurate in any respect and that the information revealed by oral inquiry of June 18, 2007 of the clerk of the Central Registry of Winding Up Petitions and the manual register of petitions, applications and notices in the London area in relation to BancTec Limited was accurate in all respects and that nothing has occurred since our inquiry to make any such information inaccurate in any respect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, our opinion expressed in this paragraph is subject to the qualification that the oral inquiry of the clerk of the Central Registry of Winding-Up Petitions and the manual register of petitions, applications and notices in the London area in relation to BancTec Limited is not conclusively capable of revealing whether or not a winding up petition in respect of a voluntary or compulsory winding up has been presented. Details of a winding up petition may not have been entered on the records of the Central Registry of the Companies Court immediately or, in the case of a petition presented to a County Court, may not have been notified to the Central Registry and entered on such records at all.

15. BancTec International Holdings, Inc. is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted.

16. BancTec SA is a société anonyme duly organized and existing under French law and duly registered with the trade and companies registry of Xxxxx under number 342 459 708. The K-bis extract and the certificate of solvency (recherche négative d'une procédure collective) issued by the relevant registre du commerce et des sociétés with respect to BancTec SA reveal no stay of legal action or proceedings prior to an amicable settlement (règlement amiable) granted to BancTec SA and no notice of judicial reorganization (redressement judiciaire), judicial liquidation (liquidation judiciaire) or voluntary liquidation filed with that Registre du Commerce et des Sociétés. In rendering the foregoing opinions, we have assumed that the information contained in the K-bis extract (extrait K-bis), dated June 15, 2007, and in the certificate of solvency (recherche négative d'une procédure collective), dated June 15, 2007, in relation to BancTec SA is true, correct and complete as of the date of such K-bis extract and such certificate of solvency. The K-bis extracts and the certificates of solvency (recherche négative d'une procédure collective) are not capable of conclusively revealing whether or not (i) a winding-up has been made or a resolution passed for the dissolution (winding up) of BancTec SA or that the operations of BancTec SA have terminated (cessation d'activité); (ii) an order for the redressement judiciaire or liquidation judiciaire of BancTec SA has been made; or (iii) the authorized representatives of BancTec SA have changed, as notice of these matters may not be filed immediately and, when filed, may not be entered on the record immediately.

NEGATIVE ASSURANCE LETTER OF COMPANY COUNSEL

[Date]

Friedman, Billings, Xxxxxx & Co., Inc.
0000 00^xx Xxxxxx Xxxxx
Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the preliminary offering memorandum, dated May 30, 2007 (the "Preliminary Offering Memorandum") and the offering memorandum, dated June [ ], 2007 (the "Offering Memorandum"), relating to the issuance of shares of common stock (the "Shares") of BancTec, Inc. (the "Company"), as to which we have acted as counsel to the Company. We refer to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, and the Offering Memorandum as the "Offering Documents." This letter is furnished to you pursuant to Section 6(a) of the Purchase/Placement Agreement, dated as of June [ ], 2007, among the Company and you, as initial purchaser and sole placement agent thereunder (the "Agreement"). Capitalized terms defined in the Agreement and used (but not otherwise defined) herein are used herein as so defined.

The primary purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters or financial or quantitative information, and many determinations involved in the preparation of the Offering Documents are of a non-legal character. In addition, we have not undertaken any obligation to verify independently any of the factual matters set forth in the Offering Documents. Consequently, in this letter we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Offering Documents. Also, we do not make any statement herein with respect to any of the financial statements and related notes thereto, the financial statement schedules or the financial, statistical or accounting data contained in the Offering Documents.

We have reviewed the Offering Documents and we have participated in conferences with representatives of the Company, its independent public accountants, you and your counsel, at which conferences the contents of the Offering Documents and related matters were discussed.

Subject to the foregoing, we confirm to you that, on the basis of the information we gained in the course of performing the services referred to above, no facts have come to our attention which cause us to believe that the Preliminary Offering Memorandum as of its date or as of the initial sale date or the Offering Memorandum as of its date or as of the date hereof, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

The statements made herein are set forth solely for your benefit and are addressed to you solely in your capacity as the initial purchaser and placement agent of the Shares. Neither this letter nor any of such statements may be used or relied upon by, or assigned to, any other person (including any subsequent purchaser or transferee of the Shares), and neither this letter nor any copies hereof may be furnished to any other person, filed with a governmental agency, quoted, cited or otherwise referred to without our prior written consent.

Very truly yours,

FORM OF LOCK-UP AGREEMENT

June 20, 2007

Friedman, Billings, Xxxxxx & Co., Inc.
0000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx
Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands and agrees as follows:

1. Friedman, Billings, Xxxxxx & Co., Inc. ("FBR") proposes to enter into a Purchase/Placement Agreement (the "Purchase/Placement Agreement") with BancTec, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), providing for (i) the initial purchase by FBR of shares of the Company's common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), and the resale of such shares by FBR to certain eligible purchasers, (ii) the direct sale by the Company of its Common Stock to certain accredited investors, and (iii) an option for FBR to purchase or place additional shares of Common Stock either for resale by FBR to certain eligible purchasers or for direct sale by the Company to certain accredited investors (all of such shares of the Common Stock are collectively referred to as the "Shares" and the transactions referred to in (i), (ii) and (iii) above are collectively referred to as the "Offering"), in each case, in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

2. In connection with the Offering and pursuant to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") to be entered into in connection with the closing of the Offering, the Company has agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") one or more registration statements providing for the resale of the Shares under the Securities Act.

3. In order to induce FBR to act as the initial purchaser and placement agent in connection with the Offering and in recognition of the benefit that the Offering will confer upon the undersigned and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the undersigned, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of FBR (which consent may be withheld or delayed in FBR's sole discretion), he, she or it will refrain during the period commencing on the date of the Agreement and ending on the date that is sixty (60) days after the effective date of the first registration statement to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (the "Lock-Up Period"), from: (i) offering, pledging, selling, contracting to sell, selling any option or contract to purchase, purchasing any option or contract to sell, granting any option, right or warrant for the sale of, lending or otherwise disposing of or transferring, directly or indirectly, any equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for equity securities of the Company; or (ii) entering into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any of the economic consequences of ownership of equity securities of the Company, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or other consideration. In addition, if (a) during the last 17 days of any Lock-Up Period, (1) the Company releases earnings results or (2) material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs, or (b) prior to the expiration of any Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period following the last day of such Lock-Up Period, then in each case such Lock-Up Period will be extended (the "Extended Lock-Up Period"), and the restrictions imposed by this agreement (the "Lock-Up Agreement") shall continue to apply, until the expiration of the 18-day period

D-1

beginning on the date of the release of the earnings results or the occurrence of material news or a material event relating to the Company, as the case may be, unless FBR waives, in writing, such extension.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to applicable securities laws and the restrictions contained in the Company's charter, the undersigned may transfer any securities of the Company (including, without limitation, Common Stock) as follows: (i) pursuant to the exercise and issuance of options; (ii) as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein; (iii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, provided that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein; (iv) as a distribution to stockholders, partners or members of the undersigned, provided that such stockholders, partners or members agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein; (v) collateral for any loan, provided that the lender agrees in writing to be bound by the restrictions set forth in herein; or (vi) with respect to sales of securities acquired in the open market after the closing of the Offering. For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, "immediate family" shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.

5. The undersigned hereby authorizes the Company during any Lock-Up Period (or any Extended Lock-Up Period, as the case may be) to cause any transfer agent for the Common Stock to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to, the Common Stock for which the undersigned is the record holder and, in the case of Common Stock for which the undersigned is the beneficial but not the record holder, agrees during any Lock-Up Period (or any Extended Lock-Up Period, as the case may be) to cause the record holder to cause the relevant transfer agent to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to, such Common Stock. The undersigned hereby further agrees that, without the prior written consent of FBR, during any Lock-Up Period (or any Extended Lock-Up Period, as the case may be) the undersigned (i) other than in the undersigned's capacity as an officer and/or director of the Company, if applicable, will not file or participate in the filing with the Commission of any registration statement, or circulate or participate in the circulation of any preliminary or final prospectus or other disclosure document with respect to any proposed offering or sale of Common Stock (or any other securities of the Company) and (ii) will not exercise any rights the undersigned may have to require registration with the Commission of any proposed offering or sale of any Common Stock (or other securities of the Company).

6. The undersigned acknowledges that FBR is relying on the agreements of the undersigned set forth herein in making its decision to enter into the Purchase/Placement Agreement and to continue its efforts in connection with the Offering.

7. The undersigned represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Lock-Up Agreement and that this Lock-Up Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the undersigned, enforceable in accordance with its terms. Upon request, the undersigned will execute any additional documents reasonably necessary in connection with enforcement hereof. Any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the undersigned from the date first above written.

8. This Lock-Up Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

9. This Lock-Up Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and delivered by facsimile, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.
