 [ADDRESS]

  
 Dear Tom: 
  
 The purpose of this letter is to amend and restate in its entirety the Employment Agreement, dated as of December 11, 2000
between you and Moore Corporation Limited (the “Company”). You are currently the Executive Vice President, Corporate Operations and Treasurer of the Company and you shall continue to serve in that capacity as of and after the date of this
Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement as well as any employment and other policies applicable to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries from time to time during the term of your employment. 
  
 We and you hereby acknowledge that your employment with the Company and MNA
constitutes “at-will” employment and that either party may terminate this Agreement at any time, upon written notice of termination within a reasonable period of time before the effective date of the termination. With respect to the terms
of your employment with the Company, you will have the customary duties, responsibilities and authorities of an executive vice president, corporate operations and treasurer at a corporation of a similar size and nature. You will report to the
Chairman or Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO”). 
  
 I. Compensation 
  
 You will receive the
following compensation and benefits, from which the Company may withhold any amounts required by applicable law: 
  
 (i) The Company will pay you a base salary (“Base Salary”) at the rate of U.S. $330,000 per year. This Base Salary will be paid
in accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company. 
  
 (ii) The Company will pay you an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) of up to 100% Base Salary in respect of each fiscal year of the Company in accordance with the Company’s annual incentive compensation
plan if the Company achieves the performance objectives set forth by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) (or any designated committee thereof) from time to 

  









 
time. The Annual Bonus shall be approved by the Board and shall be paid on an all-or-nothing basis. 
  
 (iii) In addition, you will continue to be eligible to
participate in any nonqualified pension plans and qualified plans in the same manner as you currently participate or may elect to participate from time to time after the date of this Agreement. 
  
 (iv) You shall be eligible for four (4) weeks vacation
annually. 
  
 (v) You shall be eligible for a car
allowance of $1,400 monthly. 
  
 II. Severance; Change of Control

  
 If the Company terminates your employment as EVP,
Corporate Operations and Treasurer without Cause, as defined in Annex A, or if you terminate your employment for Good Reason, as defined in Annex A, whether the same occurs before or following a Change of Control (as defined in Annex A), the Company
will pay you an amount equal to one and one-half (1 1/2) times your Annualized Total Compensation (as defined below), subject to the execution by you of a customary release, which amount shall be payable in equal installments over the eighteen (18)
month period following the date your employment with the Company is terminated (the “Termination Date”). The Company will also provide to you a continuation of all benefits, including automobile and other related benefits, if any, which
you were eligible to receive immediately prior to such termination, for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Termination Date. The Company will also make the additional payments provided in Annex B, if applicable. Your rights of
indemnification under the Company’s and any of its subsidiaries organizational documents, any plan or agreement at law or otherwise and your rights thereunder to director’s and officer’s liability insurance coverage for, in both
cases, actions as an officer and director of the Company and its affiliates shall survive any termination of your employment. 
  
 “Annualized Total Compensation” means Base Salary plus Annual Bonus (as if all necessary targets and objectives were met) for one year at the
rate in effect immediately before the Termination Date. In addition, all outstanding stock options, grants, restricted stock awards or other equity grants issued to you will vest 100% immediately either as of the Termination Date (in the case of a
termination by the Company without Cause or a termination by you for Good Reason) or prior to the Change of Control becoming effective (solely in the event that upon or in connection with such Change of Control your employment with the Company is
terminated without Cause or you terminate your employment for Good Reason), as applicable. The payments under this paragraph are in lieu of any notice requirements of any Canadian national or provincial law. In the event of any termination, you
agree to resign as an officer and director of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates.

 III. General 
  
 You agree (i) that at all times both during and after your employment, you will respect the confidentiality of Company’s and its subsidiaries and
affiliates’ confidential information and will not disparage the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates or their officers, directors or employees, and (ii) during your employment and for eighteen (18) months thereafter, you will not (a)
accept a position with, or provide material services to, an entity that competes with a portion of the Company’s business representing more than $25 million of the Company’s revenues on the date of your departure, (b) solicit or hire, or
assist others in the solicitation or hiring of, the Company’s employees or (c) interfere with the Company’s business relationships with any material customers or suppliers.

 Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach of this Agreement that cannot be resolved by you and the Company,
including any dispute as to the calculation of any payments hereunder, and the terms of this Agreement, shall be determined by a single arbitrator in Connecticut, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The decision of
the arbitrator shall be final and binding and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award the party he determines has prevailed in the arbitration any legal fees and other fees and expenses that may be incurred in
respect of enforcing its respective rights under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of Connecticut. 
  
 This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between us with respect to the matters set forth herein, and fully supersedes any prior agreements or
understandings between us. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts. This Agreement may not be modified or terminated orally.

 Annex A 
  
 Definitions 
  
 a. “Cause” means (i) the willful and continued failure of Executive to perform substantially his duties with the Company (other than any
such failure resulting from Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness or any such failure subsequent to Executive being delivered a notice of termination without Cause by the Company or delivering a notice of termination for Good
Reason to the Company) after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Executive by the Chairman or the Board that specifically identifies the manner in which the Chairman or the Board believes that Executive has not substantially
performed Executive’s duties, (ii) the willful engaging by Executive in illegal conduct or misconduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious (monetarily or otherwise) to the Company or its subsidiaries and affiliates, (iii) any
misappropriation, fraud or breach of fiduciary duty with regard to the Company or its affiliates or any of the assets of the Company or its affiliates (other than good faith expense account disputes), (iv) conviction of or the pleading of nolo
contendere with regard to, a felony or any crime involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude, or (v) refusal or failure to attempt in good faith to follow the written direction of the Chairman or the Board promptly upon receipt of such
written direction. A termination for Cause after a Change of Control shall be based only on events occurring after such Change of Control; provided, however, the foregoing limitation shall not apply to an event constituting Cause which was
not discovered by the Company prior to a Change of Control. For purpose of this paragraph (a), no act or failure to act by Executive shall be considered “willful” unless done or omitted to be done by Executive in bad faith and without
reasonable belief that Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company or its subsidiaries and affiliates. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board, based
upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. 
  
 b. “Change in Control” means the occurrence of any one of the following events: 
  
 (i) individuals who, on the date of this Agreement,
constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the date of this Agreement, whose election or nomination for
election was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent Directors then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without
written objection to such nomination) shall be an Incumbent Director; provided, however, that no individual initially elected or nominated as a director of the Company as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to
directors or as a result of any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any person other than the Board shall be deemed to be an Incumbent Director;

 Annex A 
  

 (ii) any “person” (as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and as used in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes a “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly,
of securities of the Company representing 35% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities eligible to vote for the election of the Board (the “Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that
the event described in this paragraph (ii) shall not be deemed to be a Change in Control by virtue of any of the following acquisitions: (A) by the Company or any subsidiary, (B) by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or
maintained by the Company or any subsidiary, (C) by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, or (D) pursuant to a Non-Qualifying Transaction (as defined in paragraph (iii); 
  
 (iii) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, statutory
share exchange or similar form of corporate transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that requires the approval of the Company’s stockholders, whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in the transaction (a
“Business Combination”), unless immediately following such Business Combination: (A) more than 50% of the total voting power of (x) the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (the “Surviving Corporation”), or (y) if
applicable, the ultimate parent corporation that directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of 100% of the voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Surviving Corporation (the “Parent Corporation”), is represented by
Company Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to such Business Combination (or, if applicable, is represented by shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination), and such
voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination, (B) no person (other than any employee
benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation), is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 35% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting
securities eligible to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) other than persons set forth in (A) through (F) of paragraph (ii) and (C) at least a majority of the members of the
board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) following the consummation of the Business Combination were Incumbent Directors at the time of the Board’s approval of the execution
of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination (any Business Combination which satisfies all of the criteria specified in (A), (B) and (C) above shall be deemed to be a “Non-Qualifying Transaction”); 
  

 -6- 









 Annex A 
  

 (iv) the closing of a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets,
other than to an entity or in a manner where the voting securities immediately prior to such sale represent directly or indirectly after such sale at least 50% of the voting securities of the entity acquiring such assets in approximately the same
proportion as prior to such sale; or 
  
 (v) the
stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control of the Company shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of
more than 35% of the Company Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities by the Company which reduces the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding; provided, that if after such acquisition by the Company such
person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a Change in Control of the Company shall then occur. 
  
 c. “Good Reason” means, without Executive’s express
written consent, the occurrence of any of the following events: 
  
 (i) a change in the Executive’s duties or responsibilities (including reporting responsibilities) that taken as a whole represents a material and adverse diminution of the Executive’s duties,
responsibilities or status with the Company (other than a temporary change that results from or relates to the incapacitation of the Executive due to physical or mental illness); 
  
 (ii) a reduction by the Company in Executive’s rate of annual base salary or annual target bonus
opportunity (including any material and adverse change in the formula for such annual bonus target) as the same may be increased from time to time thereafter; 
  

(iii) any requirement of the Company that Executive’s office be more than seventy-five (75) miles from Executive’s place of
residence as of the date of this Agreement; or 
  
 (iv) any material breach of the Agreement by the Company. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Good Reason event shall not be deemed to have occurred if the Company cures such action, failure or breach within ten (10) days after receipt of notice thereof given by Executive. Executive’s right to
terminate employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by Executive’s incapacities due to mental or physical illness and Executive’s continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any event
or condition constituting Good Reason; provided, however, that Executive must provide notice of termination of employment within ninety (90) days following Executive’s knowledge of an event constituting Good Reason or such event shall not
constitute Good Reason under this Agreement.

 Annex B 
  
 Gross-Up Payments 
  
 (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event
it shall be determined that any payment, award, benefit or distribution (or any acceleration of any payment, award, benefit or distribution) by the Company (or any of its affiliated entities) or any entity which effectuates a Change in Control (or
any of its affiliated entities) to or for the benefit of Executive (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Annex B) (the “Payments”) would
be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any
such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then the Company shall pay to Executive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by Executive of
all taxes (including any Excise Tax) imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-up Payment, the
Executive shall be deemed to (i) pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rates of federal income taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-up Payment is to be made, and (ii) pay applicable state and local income taxes at the highest
marginal rate of taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-up Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Annex B, if it shall be determined that Executive is entitled to a Gross-Up Payment, but that the Payments would not be subject to the Excise Tax if the Payments were reduced by an amount that is less than 10% of the portion of
the Payments that would be treated as “parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code, then the amounts payable to Executive under this Agreement shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the maximum amount that could be paid to
Executive without giving rise to the Excise Tax (the “Safe Harbor Cap”), and no Gross-Up Payment shall be made to Executive. The reduction of the amounts payable hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by reducing first the payments under
Section I(a)(ii), unless an alternative method of reduction is elected by Executive. For purposes of reducing the Payments to the Safe Harbor Cap, only amounts payable under this Agreement (and no other Payments) shall be reduced. If the reduction
of the amounts payable hereunder would not result in a reduction of the Payments to the Safe Harbor Cap, no amounts payable under this Agreement shall be reduced pursuant to this provision. 
  
 (b) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Annex B, all
determinations required to be made under this Annex B, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required, the amount of such Gross-Up Payment, the reduction of the Payments to the Safe Harbor Cap and the assumptions to be utilized in
arriving at such determinations, shall be made by the public accounting firm that is retained by the Company as of the date immediately prior to the Change in Control (the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting
calculations both to the Company and 

  

 -8- 









 Annex B 
  

 
Executive within fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of notice from the Company or the Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as
is requested by the Company (collectively, the “Determination”). In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, Executive may appoint another
nationally recognized public accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the
Company and the Company shall enter into any agreement requested by the Accounting Firm in connection with the performance of the services hereunder. The Gross-up Payment under this Annex B with respect to any Payments shall be made no later than
thirty (30) days following such Payment. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by Executive, it shall furnish Executive with a written opinion to such effect, and to the effect that failure to report the Excise Tax, if any,
on Executive’s applicable federal income tax return will not result in the imposition of a negligence or similar penalty. In the event the Accounting Firm determines that the Payments shall be reduced to the Safe Harbor Cap, it shall furnish
Executive with a written opinion to such effect. The Determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the
Determination, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made (“Underpayment”) or Gross-up Payments are made by the Company which should not have been made
(“Overpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that the Executive thereafter is required to make payment of any Excise Tax or additional Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the
amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive. In the event the
amount of the Gross-up Payment exceeds the amount necessary to reimburse the Executive for his Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Overpayment that has been made and any such Overpayment (together with interest at the
rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2) of the Code) shall be promptly paid by Executive (to the extent he has received a refund if the applicable Excise Tax has been paid to the Internal Revenue Service) to or for the benefit of the Company. Executive
shall cooperate, to the extent his expenses are reimbursed by the Company, with any reasonable requests by the Company in connection with any contests or disputes with the Internal Revenue Service in connection with the Excise Tax and the Executive
shall permit the Company to control issues related to the Excise Tax (at its expense) to permit a representative of the Company to accompany the Executive to any conference with any taxing authority and to promptly deliver to the Company copies of
any written communications and summaries of any verbal communications with any taxing authority regarding the Excise Tax.
