 Pursuant to the Indenture dated as of October 27, 1995, as amended by the First Supplemental
Indenture dated December 4, 2002 (collectively, the “Indenture”), between Deluxe Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), and Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A. (formerly, Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association),
a national banking association (the “Trustee”) and resolutions adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors at the meeting of the Board of Directors held on October 24 and 25, 2002, this Officers’ Certificate and Company Order is
being delivered to the Trustee to establish the terms of a series of Securities in accordance with Section 301 of the Indenture, to establish the form of the Securities of such series in accordance with Section 201 of the Indenture, to request the
authentication and delivery of the Securities of such series pursuant to Section 303 of the Indenture and to comply with the provisions of Section 102 of the Indenture. This Officers’ Certificate and Company Order shall be treated for all
purposes under the Indenture as a supplemental indenture thereto. 
  
 All conditions precedent provided for in the
Indenture relating to (i) the establishment of a series of Securities, (ii) the establishment of the form of Securities of such series and (iii) the procedures for authentication and delivery of such series of securities have been complied with.

  
 Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture. 
  
 A.    Establishment of a Series of Securities pursuant to Section 301 of the
Indenture. 
  
 There is hereby established pursuant to Section 301 of the Indenture a series of Securities which
shall have the following terms: 
  
 (1)    The Securities shall bear the title
“5.00 % Senior Notes due 2012” (referred to herein as the “Notes”). 
  
 (2)    The aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be issued pursuant to this Officers’ Certificate and Company Order shall be limited to $300,000,000 except for (a) Notes authenticated and delivered upon
registration of, transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Section 304, 305, 306, 906 or 1107 of the Indenture, (b) Notes which, pursuant to Section 303 of the Indenture, are deemed never to have been authenticated and
delivered thereunder and (c) any Securities of this series which are issued in the manner contemplated by paragraph 17(b) hereof. 
  
 (3)    The Company will pay interest to the person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the first day of the month preceding the Interest Payment Date (as
defined in Paragraph 5 below) (each a “Record Date”), provided that the interest payable at the Stated Maturity (as defined in Paragraph 4 below) will be paid to the person to whom principal is payable. Any interest installment not
punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall cease to be payable to the registered holder on the relevant Record Date, and will be paid according to the method specified in the Indenture. 







  
 (4)    The Stated Maturity Date of the Notes
shall be December 15, 2012. 
  
 (5)    The Notes will bear interest from and
including December 9, 2002, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, at a rate of 5.00 % per annum, payable in U.S. Dollars semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year,
commencing June 15, 2003, until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. The Company will compute interest on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and, for any period shorter than a full calendar month,
on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in such period. If any Interest Payment Date or maturity or redemption date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the payment will be made on the next Business Day. However, if such next
Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, the payment will be made on the Business Day immediately preceding the original payment date, in either case without additional interest and with the same effect as if it were made on the
originally scheduled date. 
  
 (6)    Principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on the Notes will be payable, and, except as provided in Section 305 of the Indenture with respect to a Global Security (as defined below), the transfer of the Notes will be registrable and Notes will be exchangeable for Notes bearing
identical terms and provisions at the corporate trust office of Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A., in the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota or at its agency located in the City of New York, New York. The method of such payment shall be by wire transfer
for Notes held in book-entry form or by check mailed to the address of the person entitled to the payment as it appears in the Security Register. 
  
 (7)    The Notes will be redeemable as follows: 
  
 Subject to the terms of Article Eleven of the Indenture, the Company shall have the right to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail, at a
redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the
Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted
Treasury Rate, plus 20 basis points; plus, in either case, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest on the Notes, including the above mentioned accrued and unpaid interest, to the
extent it is due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to the redemption date, will be payable on such Interest Payment Date to the registered holders of the Notes as of the close of business on the relevant Record Date for that
Interest Payment Date. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be (i) selected by lot by The Depository Trust Company if the Notes are represented by a global security, or (ii) selected by the Trustee, using
a method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate, if the Notes are not represented by a global security. For this purpose, the following terms have the following meanings:

of any Global Security, the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole Holder of the Notes represented by such Global Security for all purposes under the Indenture and the Notes. 
  
 (b)    The Notes represented by a Global Security will not be exchangeable for, and will not otherwise
be issuable as, Notes in certificated form, except as provided in Section 305 of the Indenture and except if there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default and the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes

 DELUXE CORPORATION 

 
 
 
 Deluxe Corporation, a corporation duly
organized and existing under the laws of the State of Minnesota (the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture referred to below), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or its
registered assigns, the principal sum of Three Hundred Million Dollars on December 15, 2012 (the “Stated Maturity”), and to pay interest thereon at a rate of 5.00 % per annum from and including December 9, 2002 or from the most recent
Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, payable semiannually in U.S. Dollars in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on June 15, 2003. The
interest installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this note (or one or more Predecessor Securities, as defined in the
Indenture) is registered at the close of business on the first day of the month preceding such Interest Payment Date (each, a “Record Date”), provided that the interest payable at the Stated Maturity will be paid to the person to whom
principal is payable. The amount of interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and, for any period shorter than a full calendar 







  
 month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in such period. In the event that any date on
which interest is payable on this note is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay),
except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day (and without any reduction in interest or other payment in respect of any such early payment), in each
case with the same force and effect as if made on such date. Any interest installment not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall cease to be payable to the registered holder on the relevant Record Date, and will be
paid according to the method specified in the Indenture. 
  
 The principal and interest on this note shall be payable
at the Corporate Trust Office. The method of such payment shall be by wire transfer for Senior Notes (as defined on the reverse hereof) held in book-entry form or by check mailed to the address of the person entitled to the payment as it appears in
the Security Register. 
  
 The Senior Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank equally
in right of payment with all of the other senior unsecured, unguaranteed and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company from time to time outstanding. The Senior Notes will rank senior to any subordinated indebtedness of the Company. The Senior
Notes are subject to redemption prior to the Stated Maturity as described on the reverse hereof. 
  
 REFERENCE IS
HEREBY MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE SET FORTH ON THE REVERSE HEREOF, WHICH FURTHER PROVISIONS SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH AT THIS PLACE. 
  
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this note shall not
be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be authenticated and
delivered. This note is one of a series designated as the 5.00 % Senior Notes due 2012, limited in aggregate principal amount to $300,000,000; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of the Securities may be increased in the future,

to date, amount, Stated Maturity, interest rate or method of calculating the interest rate and in other respects as therein provided, may be issued in an unlimited principal amount. 
  
 The Company shall have the right to redeem the Securities of this series at the option of the Company, in whole or in part at any time, upon not less than 30 nor more than
60 days’ notice by mail (an “Optional Redemption”), at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities of this series to be redeemed, or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus 20 basis points; plus, in each case, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such redemption. If less than all of the Senior Notes are to be redeemed, the Senior
Notes to be redeemed shall be (i) selected by lot by The Depository Trust Company if the Senior Notes are represented by a global security, or (ii) selected by the Trustee, using a method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate, if the Senior
Notes are not represented by a global security. 
  
 “Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to
any date of redemption, the rate per year equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the
Comparable Treasury Price for that date of redemption. 
  
 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the
United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities to be redeemed that would be used, at the time of selection and under customary financial practice, in pricing

the foregoing ceases to be a primary dealer of U.S. government securities in New York City, the Company must substitute another primary dealer of U.S. government securities. 
  
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any date of redemption, the average, as determined by the
Trustee, of the bid and ask prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by the Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third
business day before the date of redemption. 
  
 In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new
Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor or an authorized denomination for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof, and, in the event of transfer or exchange, a new
Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor and for a like aggregate principal amount will be issued to the Holder, in the case of exchange, or the designated transferee or transferees, in the case of transfer. 
  
 In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of all of
the Securities of this series may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture. 
  

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the Company’s obligations in respect of (i) the entire indebtedness of this note or (ii) certain
restrictive covenants with respect to this note, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth therein.

under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected and, for certain
purposes, without the consent of the Holders of any Securities at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time
Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain 

 
 5 








  
 provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any
such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of
transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 
  
 Upon an Event of Default, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of this series may declare the principal of all of the Securities of this series to be immediately
due and payable; and upon any such declaration such principal amount of and the accrued interest on all of the Securities of this series shall become immediately due and payable. 
  
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of

authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
  
 Prior to due
presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered in the Security Register as the owner hereof for
all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  
 No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this Security, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture,
against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any
assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly waived and released. 
  
 This Global Security is exchangeable for Securities in certificated form only under certain limited circumstances set forth in the Indenture. The Securities of this series
are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000. As provided in the Indenture and subject to 

 
 6 








  
 certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate
principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
  
 All terms used in this Security which are not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
  
 This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the body of law controlling conflicts of law, other
than the New York General Obligations Law Section 5-1401.
