     relating to any Award; (vi) determine whether, to what extent and under
     what circumstances Awards may be exercised with the payment of cash,
     Shares, promissory notes, other securities, other Awards or other property,
     or canceled, forfeited or suspended; (vii) determine whether, to what

     the Plan. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all
     designations, determinations, interpretations and other decisions under or
     with respect to the Plan or any Award shall be within the sole discretion
     of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive
     and binding upon any Participant, any holder or beneficiary of any Award
     and any employee of the Company or its Affiliates and any other Eligible
     Person.

(b)  Delegation. The Committee may delegate all or any of its powers and duties
     under the Plan to one or more Directors, or a committee of Directors,

     shall not delegate its powers and duties under this Plan with regard to
     Awards granted to officers or directors of the Company or its Affiliates

     would cause the Plan not to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m)
     of the Code.

(c)  Power and Authority of the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding anything to
     the contrary contained herein, the Board may, at any time and from time to

     adjustment as provided in Section 4(c), the aggregate number of Shares
     which may be issued under all Awards under the Plan shall be 9,100,000. If
     any Shares covered by an Award or to which an Award relates are not
     purchased or are forfeited, or if an Award otherwise terminates without
     delivery of any Shares, then the number of Shares counted against the
     aggregate number of Shares available under the Plan with respect to such
     Award, to the extent of any such forfeiture or termination, shall again be
     available for granting Awards under the Plan.

                                     Page 3
<PAGE>

(b)  Accounting for Awards. For purposes of this Section 4, if an Award entitles
     the holder thereof to receive or purchase Shares, the number of Shares
     covered by such Award or to which such Award relates shall be counted on
     the date of grant of such Award against the aggregate number of Shares
     available for grants under the Plan.

(c)  Adjustments. In the event that the Committee shall determine that any
     dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other
     securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock
     split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off,
     combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities of the
     Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other
     securities of the Company or other similar corporate transaction or event
     affects the Shares such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee
     to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the
     benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the
     Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable,
     adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of Shares (or other securities
     or other property) which thereafter may be made the subject of Awards, (ii)
     the number and type of Shares (or other securities or other property)
     subject to outstanding Awards and (iii) the purchase or exercise price with
     respect to any Award; provided, however, that the number of Shares covered
     by any Award or to which such Award relates shall always be a whole number.

(d)  Award Limitations Under the Plan. The maximum number of Shares available
     for Awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Rights under the Plan
     shall be 455,000. In addition, no Participant may be granted any Award or
     Awards under the Plan, the value of which Award or Awards is based solely
     on an increase in the value of the Shares after the date of grant of such
     Award or Awards, for more than 1,000,000 Shares (subject to adjustment as
     provided for in Section 4(c) of the Plan) in the aggregate in any calendar
     year. The foregoing annual limitation specifically includes the grant of
     any Award or Awards representing "qualified performance-based compensation"
     within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

Section 5. Eligibility.

Any Eligible Person shall be eligible to be designated a Participant. In
determining which Eligible Persons shall receive an Award and the terms of any
Award, the Committee may take into account the nature of the services rendered
by the respective Eligible Persons, their present and potential contributions to
the success of the Company, and such other factors as the Committee, in its
discretion, shall deem relevant.

Section 6. Awards.

(a)  Options. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Options to
     Participants with the following terms and conditions and with such
     additional terms and conditions not inconsistent with the provisions of the
     Plan as the Committee shall determine:

     (i)  Exercise Price. The purchase price per Share purchasable under an
          Option shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that
          such purchase price shall not be less than 100% of

                                     Page 4
<PAGE>

            the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of such
            Option, provided that the per Share exercise price may be set below
            Fair Market Value by an amount determined necessary or appropriate
            by the Committee to satisfy applicable requirements of law or
            government regulation.

     (ii)   Option Term. The term of each Option shall be fixed by the
            Committee, but shall not exceed ten years.

     (iii)  Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the time
            or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part and
            the method or methods by which, and the form or forms (including,
            without limitation, cash, Shares, promissory notes, other
            securities, other Awards or other property, or any combination
            thereof, having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to
            the relevant exercise price) in which, payment of the exercise price
            with respect thereto may be made or deemed to have been made.

     (iv)   Reload Options. The Committee may grant Reload Options, separately
            or together with another Option, pursuant to which, subject to the
            terms and conditions established by the Committee, the Participant
            would be granted a new Option when the payment of the exercise price
            of a previously granted option is made by the delivery of Shares
            owned by the Participant pursuant to Section 6(a)(iii) hereof or the
            relevant provisions of another plan of the Company, and/or when
            Shares are tendered or withheld as payment of the amount to be
            withheld under applicable income tax laws in connection with the
            exercise of an Option, which new Option would be an Option to
            purchase the number of Shares not exceeding the sum of (A) the
            number of Shares so provided as consideration upon the exercise of
            the previously granted option to which such Reload Option relates
            and (B) the number of Shares, if any, tendered or withheld as
            payment of the amount to be withheld under applicable tax laws in
            connection with the exercise of the option to which such Reload
            Option relates pursuant to the relevant provisions of the plan or
            agreement relating to such option. Reload Options may be granted
            with respect to Options previously granted under the Plan or options
            previously granted under any other stock option plan of the Company
            or may be granted in connection with any Option granted under the
            Plan or options granted under any other stock option plan of the
            Company at the time of such grant. Such Reload Options shall have a
            per Share exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share
            as of the date of grant of the new Option, provided that the per
            Share exercise price may be set below Fair Market Value by an amount
            determined necessary or appropriate by the Committee to satisfy
            applicable requirements of law or government regulation. Any Reload
            Option shall be subject to availability of sufficient Shares for
            grant under the Plan. Shares surrendered as part or all of the
            exercise price of the Option to which it relates that have been
            owned by the optionee less than six months will not be counted for
            purposes of determining the number of Shares that may be purchased
            pursuant to a Reload Option.

(b)  Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant
     Stock Appreciation Rights to Participants subject to the terms of the Plan
     and any applicable Award Agreement. A Stock Appreciation Right granted
     under the Plan shall confer on the holder thereof the right to receive upon
     exercise thereof the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of one Share on
     the date of exercise (or, if the Committee shall so determine, at any time
     during a specified period before or after the date of exercise) over (ii)
     the grant price (as the same may be adjusted under Section 4(c) of the
     Plan) per Share of the Stock Appreciation Right as specified by the
     Committee, which price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value
     of one Share (subject to any such adjustment) on the date of grant of the
     Stock Appreciation Right, provided that the grant price per Share may be
     set below Fair Market Value by an amount determined necessary or
     appropriate by the Committee to satisfy applicable requirements of law or
     government regulation. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable
     Award Agreement, the grant price, term, methods of exercise, dates of
     exercise, methods of settlement and any other terms and conditions of any
     Stock Appreciation Right shall be as determined by the Committee, which may
     impose upon the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right such conditions or
     restrictions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as it may
     deem appropriate. The term of any Stock Appreciation Right shall not exceed
     ten years.

(c)  Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Rights. The Committee is hereby
     authorized to grant Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Rights
     to Participants subject to the following terms and conditions and such
     additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of
     the Plan, as the Committee shall determine:

     (i)    Restrictions. Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Rights
            shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose
            (including, without limitation, any limitation on the right to vote
            a share of Restricted Stock or the right to receive any dividend or
            other right or property with respect thereto or with respect to a
            Restricted Stock Right), which restrictions may lapse separately or
            in combination at such time or times, in such installments or
            otherwise as the Committee may deem appropriate.

     (ii)   Stock Certificates. Any Restricted Stock granted under the Plan
            shall be evidenced by issuance of a stock certificate or
            certificates, which certificate or certificates shall be held by the
            Company or a custodian acting on behalf of the Company, or, if
            determined by the Committee and consistent with the rules of the
            Nasdaq National Market or any securities exchange on which the
            Shares are listed or admitted to trading, any Restricted Stock
            granted under the Plan may be evidenced by recording the issuance of
            the same in the books and records of the Company. Such certificate
            or certificates shall be registered in the name of the Participant
            and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms,
            conditions and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock. In
            the case of Restricted Stock Rights, no Shares shall be issued at
            the time such Awards are granted.

     (iii)  Forfeiture; Delivery of Shares. Except as otherwise determined by
            the Committee, upon a Participant's termination of employment (as
            determined by or under criteria established by the

                                     Page 6
<PAGE>

            Committee) with the Company or its Affiliates during the applicable
            restriction period, all Shares of Restricted Stock and all
            Restricted Stock Rights shall be forfeited and reacquired by the
            Company; provided, however, that the Committee may, when it finds
            that a waiver would be in the best interest of the Company, waive in
            whole or in part any or all remaining restrictions with respect to
            Shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Rights. Any Share of
            Restricted Stock that is no longer subject to restrictions shall be
            delivered to the holder thereof promptly after the applicable
            restrictions lapse or are waived. Upon the lapse or waiver of
            restrictions and the restricted period relating to Restricted Stock
            Rights evidencing the right to receive Shares, such Shares shall be
            issued and delivered to the holders of the Restricted Stock Rights,
            subject to the provisions of the Plan and any applicable Award
            Agreement.

(d)  Performance Awards. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Performance
     Awards to Participants subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable
     Award Agreement. A Performance Award granted under the Plan (i) may be
     denominated or payable in cash, Shares (including, without limitation,
     Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Rights), other securities, other
     Awards or other property and (ii) shall confer on the holder thereof the
     right to receive payments, in whole or in part, upon the achievement of
     such performance goals during such performance periods as the Committee
     shall establish. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award
     Agreement, the performance goals to be achieved during any performance
     period, the length of any performance period, the amount of any Performance
     Award granted, the amount of any payment or transfer to be made pursuant to
     any Performance Award, and any other terms and conditions of any
     Performance Award shall be determined by the Committee.

(e)  Dividend Equivalents. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant to
     Participants Dividend Equivalents under which such Participants shall be
     entitled to receive payments (in cash, Shares, other securities, other
     Awards or other property as determined in the discretion of the Committee)
     equivalent to the amount of cash dividends paid by the Company to holders
     of Common Stock of the Company with respect to a number of Shares
     determined by the Committee. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any
     applicable Award Agreement, such Dividend Equivalents may have such terms
     and conditions as the Committee shall determine.

(f)  Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant to
     Participants such other Awards that are denominated or payable in, valued
     in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to,
     Shares (including, without limitation, securities convertible into Shares),
     as are deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purpose of the
     Plan; provided, however, that such grants must comply with applicable law.
     Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, the
     Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards. Shares
     or other securities delivered pursuant to a purchase right granted under
     this Section 6(f) shall be purchased for such consideration, which may be
     paid by such method or methods and in such form or forms (including,
     without limitation, cash, Shares, promissory notes, other securities, other
     Awards or other property or any combination thereof), as the Committee
     shall determine, the value of which

                                     Page 7
<PAGE>

     consideration shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such
     Shares or other securities as of the date such purchase right is granted,
     provided that the value of such Shares or other securities may be set below
     Fair Market Value by an amount determined necessary or appropriate by the
     Committee to satisfy applicable requirements of law or government
     regulation.

(g)  General.

     (i)    No Cash Consideration for Awards. Awards may be granted for no cash
            consideration or for such minimal cash consideration as may be
            required by applicable law or may be granted for such cash
            consideration as the Committee may determine in its discretion.

     (ii)   Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together. Awards may, in the
            discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition
            to, in tandem with, or in substitution for any other Award or any
            award granted under any plan of the Company or any of its Affiliates
            other than the Plan. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with
            other Awards or in addition to or in tandem with awards granted
            under any such other plan of the Company or any of its Affiliates
            may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time
            from the grant of such other Awards or awards.

     (iii)  Forms of Payments Under Awards. Subject to the terms of the Plan and
            of any applicable Award Agreement, payments or transfers to be made
            by the Company or an Affiliate upon the grant, exercise or payment
            of an Award may be made in such form or forms as the Committee shall
            determine (including, without limitation, cash, Shares, promissory
            notes, other securities, other Awards or other property, or any
            combination thereof), and may be made in a single payment or
            transfer, in installments or on a deferred basis, in each case in
            accordance with rules and procedures established by the Committee.
            Such rules and procedures may include, without limitation,
            provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest on
            installment or deferred payments or the grant or crediting of
            Dividend Equivalents with respect to installment or deferred
            payments.

     (iv)   Limits on Transfer of Awards. No Award and no right under any such
            Award shall be transferable by a Participant otherwise than by will
            or by the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that
            if so determined by the Committee, a Participant may, in the manner
            established by the Committee, designate a beneficiary or
            beneficiaries to exercise the rights of the Participant and receive
            any property distributable with respect to any Award upon the death
            of the Participant. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if so
            determined by the Committee, an Option may be transferred by a
            Participant to any "Family Member" (as such term is defined in the
            General Instructions to Form S-8 (or any successor to such
            Instructions or Form)) of that Participant in a manner established
            by the Committee, provided that such transfer is not for value
            (i.e., the Participant making the transfer may not receive any
            consideration therefor). Any Family Member to whom an Option is
            transferred in accordance with the preceding sentence shall not make
            any subsequent transfer of such Option or any right thereunder
            otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution;
            provided, however,

                                     Page 8
<PAGE>

          that if so determined by the Committee, such Family Member may, in the
          manner established by the Committee, designate a beneficiary or
          beneficiaries to exercise the rights of such Family Member under the
          Option and receive any property distributable with respect thereto
          upon the death of such Family Member. Each Award or right under any
          Award shall be exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by
          the Participant, or if permissible under applicable law, by the
          Participant's guardian or legal representative, excepting an Option
          that has been transferred to a Family Member in accordance with the
          foregoing provisions, in which event the Option and any rights
          thereunder may be exercisable during such Family Member's lifetime
          only by such Family Member or, if permissible under applicable law, by
          the Family Member's guardian or legal representative. Except as
          provided in this clause (iv), no Award or right under any such Award
          may be pledged, alienated, attached or otherwise encumbered, and any
          purported pledge, alienation, attachment or encumbrance thereof shall
          be void and unenforceable against the Company or any of its
          Affiliates.

     (v)  Term of Awards. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the term of each
          Award shall be for such period as may be determined by the Committee.

     (vi) Restrictions; Securities Exchange Listing. All Shares or other
          securities delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the
          exercise thereof shall be subject to such restrictions as the
          Committee may deem advisable under the Plan, applicable securities
          laws, rules or regulations, and other regulatory requirements, and the
          Committee may cause appropriate entries to be made or legends to be
          placed on the certificates for such Shares or other securities to
          reflect such restrictions. If the Shares or other securities are
          traded on the Nasdaq National Market or a securities exchange, the
          Company shall not be required to deliver any Shares or other
          securities covered by an Award unless and until such Shares or other
          securities have been admitted for trading on the Nasdaq National
          Market or such securities exchange.

Section 7. Amendment and Termination; Adjustments.

(a)  Amendments to the Plan. Subject to the provisions of Section 7(c), the
     Board of Directors may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the
     Plan; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of the
     Plan or any Award Agreement, prior approval of the stockholders of the
     Company shall be required for any amendment to the Plan that requires
     stockholder approval under the rules or regulations of the Nasdaq National
     Market or any securities exchange that are applicable to the Company.

(b)  Waivers. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may waive any
     conditions of or rights of the Company under any outstanding award,
     prospectively or retroactively.

(c)  Limitations on Amendments. Neither the Board nor the Committee may amend,
     alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate any outstanding Award,
     prospectively or retroactively, that would have an adverse effect on the
     rights of the Participant with respect to such Award, without the consent
     of the

                                     Page 9
<PAGE>

     Participant or holder or beneficiary thereof, except as otherwise provided
     herein or in the Award Agreement.

(d)  Correction of Defects, Omissions and Inconsistencies. The Committee may
     correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in
     the Plan or any Award or Award Agreement in the manner and to the extent it
     shall deem desirable to carry the Plan into effect.

Section 8. Income Tax Withholding.

In order to comply with all applicable income tax laws or regulations, the
Committee may establish such policy or policies as it deems appropriate with
respect to such laws and regulations, including without limitation the
establishment of policies to ensure that all applicable payroll, withholding,
income or other taxes, which are the sole and absolute responsibility of a
Participant, are withheld or collected from such Participant. In order to assist
a Participant in paying all or a portion of the taxes to be withheld or
collected upon exercise or receipt of (or the lapse of restrictions relating to)
an Award, the Committee, in its discretion and subject to such additional terms
and conditions as it may adopt, may permit the Participant to satisfy such tax
obligation by (a) electing to have the Company withhold a portion of the payment
or transfer otherwise to be made upon exercise or receipt of (or the lapse of
restrictions relating to) such Award with a Fair Market Value equal to the
amount of such taxes or (b) delivering to the Company Shares or other property
other than Shares issuable upon exercise or receipt of (or the lapse of
restrictions relating to) such Award with a Fair Market Value equal to the
amount of such taxes. The election, if any, must be made on or before the date
that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined.

Section 9. General Provisions.

(a)  No Rights to Awards. No Eligible Person, Participant or other Person shall
     have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no
     obligation for uniformity of treatment of Eligible Persons, Participants or
     holders or beneficiaries of Awards under the Plan. The terms and conditions
     of Awards need not be the same with respect to any Participant or with
     respect to different Participants.

(b)  Award Agreements. No Participant will have rights under an Award granted to
     such Participant unless and until an Award Agreement shall have been duly
     executed on behalf of the Company and, if requested by the Company, signed
     by the Participant and delivered to the Company.

(c)  No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan
     shall prevent the Company or any of its Affiliates from adopting or
     continuing in effect other or additional compensation plans or
     arrangements, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or
     applicable only in specific cases.

(d)  No Right to Employment. The grant of an Award shall not be construed as
     giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company
     or any of its Affiliates, nor will it affect in any way the right of the
     Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate the employment of any
     Participant in its or their employ at any time, with or without cause. In
     addition, the Company or any of its Affiliates may at

                                    Page 10
<PAGE>

     any time dismiss a Participant in its or their employ from employment free
     from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly
     provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement.

(e)  Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan, any Award
     Agreement or any Award, and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan,
     any Award Agreement or any Award, shall be determined in accordance with
     the laws of the State of Delaware which shall be the proper law thereof
     notwithstanding any rules regarding conflict of laws therein contained
     under which any other law would be made applicable.

(f)  Severability. If any provision of the Plan, any Award Agreement or any
     Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
     any jurisdiction or would disqualify the Plan, any Award Agreement or any
     Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, then

     (i)   such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to
           applicable laws, or

     (ii)  if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the
           determination of the Committee, materially altering the purpose or
           intent of the Plan, the Award Agreement or the Award, such provision
           shall be stricken,

     but only as to each jurisdiction, Award Agreement and Award so affected,
     and the Plan, as well as each Award Agreement and Award so affected, shall
     otherwise remain in full force and effect in accordance with its original
     terms.

(g)  No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be
     construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary
     relationship between the Company or any of its Affiliates and a Participant
     or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to
     receive payments from the Company or any of its Affiliates pursuant to an
     Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured
     general creditor of the Company or any such Affiliate.

(h)  No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered
     pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine
     whether cash shall be paid in lieu of any fractional Share or whether such
     fractional Share or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or
     otherwise eliminated.

(i)  Headings. Headings are given to the sections and subsections of the Plan
     solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be
     deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or
     interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.

(j)  Other Benefits. No compensation or benefit awarded to or realized by any
     Participant in the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates under the
     Plan shall be included for the purpose of computing such Participant's
     compensation under any compensation-based retirement, disability or similar
     plan of the Company or any of its Affiliates unless required by law or
     otherwise provided by such other plan.

Section 10. Effective Date of the Plan.

The Plan shall be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and shall be
effective as of April 17, 2000, subject to the approval of the stockholder or
stockholders of the Company, which approval may be satisfied by the approval of
Deluxe Corporation, as the sole stockholder of the Company, for purposes of
satisfying the requirements of the Nasdaq National Market.

Section 11. Term of the Plan.

The Plan shall continue in effect until it is discontinued or terminated as
provided in Section 7. No Award shall be granted after the termination of this
Plan. However, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Plan or in an
applicable Award Agreement, any Award theretofore granted may extend beyond the
termination of this Plan, and the authority of the Committee provided for
hereunder with respect to this Plan and any Awards, and the authority of the
Board to amend this Plan, shall extend beyond the termination of this Plan.
