ARTICLE 2 - ELIGIBILITY FOR BENEFITS AND VESTING

2.01    Subject to Article 8, benefits under this Plan shall be payable only if
        the Executive has enrolled in the Moore Savings Plan and contributed
        the maximum amount allowed by law or other Plan restrictions, and has
        fulfilled all other conditions of this Plan. The Executive will vest at
        25% per year of Service and be fully vested if he has completed four
        (4) years of Service at his date of Cessation of Employment. For
        further clarity, no benefit shall be provided under this Plan to the
        Executive whose employment with the Company is terminated prior to

                of the maximum annual savings plan earnings allowed by law
                under US Code Section 401(a)(17).

        (b)     Interest will be credited to each executive's account on
                December 31 of each year, such rate being the prime interest
                rate at July 1 of each year.


ARTICLE 4 - PAYMENT UPON CESSATION OF EMPLOYMENT

4.01    LUMP SUM PAYMENT

        The vested benefit amount determined under Article 3 shall be payable
        in a lump sum as soon as practical following Cessation of Employment.


ARTICLE 5 - DEATH BENEFITS

5.01    DEATH BENEFITS PRIOR TO RETIREMENT DATE

        On the death of the Executive while in active employment with the
        Company prior to his Cessation of Employment there shall be paid to his
        Beneficiary, or if none, to his estate, a lump sum as described in
        Article 4.01. For greater certainty, no death benefit shall be payable
        if the Executive is not vested as defined in Article 2.01.

        (b)     Pensionable Earnings shall be deemed to continue at the
                annualized base salary rate in effect immediately prior to his
                period of Disability.

7.01    A "Change in Control" shall mean any of the following:

        (a)     the acquisition of direct or indirect beneficial ownership (as
                determined under Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the United States
                Securities Exchange Act of 1934), in the aggregate, of
                securities of Moore Corporation representing thirty percent
                (30%) or more of the total combined voting power of Moore
                Corporation's then issued and outstanding voting securities by

                (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the
                United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934) acting in

        (b)     the merger or consolidation of Moore Corporation with any

                        immediately prior thereto continuing to represent

                        percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of
                        the voting securities of Moore Corporation or such
                        surviving entity outstanding immediately after such
                        merger or consolidation; or

                (ii)    a merger or consolidation effected to implement a
                        recapitalization of Moore Corporation (or similar

                        beneficial owner, directly or indirectly (as determined

        (c)     the approval by the shareholders of Moore Corporation of any
                plan or proposal for the complete liquidation or dissolution of
                Moore Corporation or for the sale of all or



                                    5 of 11
<PAGE>


                substantially all of the assets of Moore Corporation (other
                than the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of
                Moore Corporation to a person or persons who beneficially own,
                directly or indirectly, at least fifty percent (50%) or more of
                the combined voting power of the voting securities of Moore
                Corporation at the time of the sale); or

                any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof.

9.02    If a Change in Control occurs, then, any accrued benefit will be
        payable to the executive whether or not he has satisfied the vesting
        requirement in Article 2.

ARTICLE 8 - FORFEITURE OF BENEFITS

8.01     FORFEITURE OF BENEFITS
         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, future payment of any
         benefit hereunder to the Executive will be discontinued and forfeited,
         and Moore Corporation will have no further obligation hereunder to the
         Executive if any of the following circumstances occur:

         (a)      The Executive is discharged from employment with the Company
                  for cause. Where the Executive has a written employment
                  contract, cause shall be as defined in the employment
                  contract. Where the Executive does not have a written
                  employment contract, Cause shall be as defined herein; or

         (b)      the Executive performs acts which would be Cause (as defined
                  herein) prior to Cessation of Employment, and such acts are
                  discovered by the Company at any time prior to the date of
                  death of the Executive; or

         (c)      the Executive enters into Competition with the Company
                  following Cessation of Employment. For the purposes of this
                  paragraph Competition is defined in Section 10.02.

        If the circumstance is (b) or (c) above, then in addition the Executive
        or his Beneficiary, respectively, shall promptly re-imburse the company
        for any amounts previously received by the executive or his
        beneficiary, as the case may be.



                                    6 of 11
<PAGE>


        The Committee shall have sole and unrestricted discretion with respect
        to the application of the provisions of this Section 8.01 and such
        exercise of discretion shall be conclusive and binding upon the
        Executive and all other persons.

8.02    COMPETITION

        (a)     "Competition" shall mean:

                (i)     participating, directly or indirectly, as an individual
                        proprietor, partner, stockholder, officer, employee,
                        director, joint venturer, investor, lender, consultant
                        or in any capacity whatsoever within the United States
                        of America, Canada, or in any country where the Company
                        does business in a business in competition with any
                        business conducted by the Company provided, however,
                        that such participation shall not include any activity
                        engaged in with the prior written approval of the chief
                        executive officer of Moore Corporation; or

                (ii)    recruiting, soliciting or inducing, directly or
                        indirectly, any non-clerical employee or employees of
                        the Company to terminate their employment or otherwise
                        cease their relationship with, the Company or hiring,
                        retaining, or assisting another person or entity to
                        hire or retain any non-clerical employee of the Company
                        or any person who within six months before had been a
                        non-clerical employee of the Company. Notwithstanding
                        the foregoing, if requested by an entity with which the
                        Executive is not affiliated, the Executive may serve as
                        a reference for any person who at the time of the
                        request is not an employee of the Company.

        (b)     If any restriction set forth with regard to Competition is
                found by any court of competent jurisdiction, or an arbitrator,
                to be unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of
                time or over too great a range of activities or over too broad
                a geographic area, it shall be interpreted to extend over the
                maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area
                as to which it may be enforceable.

ARTICLE 9 - SOURCE OF BENEFITS

9.01    FUNDING

        (a)     Benefits under this Plan shall not be funded or otherwise
                secured nor shall assets or monies be segregated or set aside
                to pay benefits hereunder, but the same shall be payable by
                Moore Corporation out of its general assets as and when they
                become due as provided herein. The Executive's interest in his
                benefits under this Plan, and the interest of his


                                    7 of 11
<PAGE>


                surviving Spouse, Beneficiary or estate, shall not be
                greater than that of a general unsecured creditor of Moore
                Corporation. Nothing contained in this Plan or relating thereto
                shall constitute a guarantee by Moore Corporation or any other
                person that the assets of Moore Corporation will be sufficient
                to pay any benefit hereunder

        (b)     Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with
                Moore Corporation's obligation to this Plan (other than as a
                result of a dispute under Section 8 hereof) shall be settled
                exclusively by arbitration, conducted before a single
                arbitrator in Stamford Connecticut, or such other jurisdiction
                as may be mutually agreed on by the Executive and Moore
                Corporation, in accordance with the rules of the American
                Arbitration Association then in effect, and judgment may be
                entered on the arbitrator's award in any court having
                jurisdiction. The determination of the arbitrator shall be
                final and binding. In the event of such an arbitration, Moore
                Corporation shall bear the costs of the American Arbitration
                Association and the arbitrator and, if the Executive's
                assertion is not frivolous or brought in bad faith as
                determined by the arbitrator, the Executive's reasonable legal
                fees and disbursements incurred in connection with such
                arbitration. This provision shall not apply with regard to any
                other dispute, including a dispute as to whether or not Moore
                Corporation was entitled to forfeit a Executive's benefit under
                Section 8 hereof.

ARTICLE 10 - AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION

        The Board may at any time or from time to time amend this Plan in any

        (a)     subject to Article 2 and Article 8, no such amendment or
                suspension shall reduce the accrued benefits hereunder of the
                Executive;

        (b)     upon the Cessation of Employment after the effective date of
                this Plan's suspension, if the Executive is vested based on
                Service up to his Cessation of Employment, then the Executive
                shall be entitled to receive benefits hereunder, where such
                benefits are based on his Service and Earnings, as of the date
                of the suspension of the Plan;

        (c)     upon the Cessation of Employment after the effective date of
                this Plan's suspension, if the Executive is not vested based on
                Service up to his Cessation of Employment, then the Executive
                shall not be entitled to receive benefits hereunder.

        benefits shall be based on his Service and as of the date of
        termination of the Plan. Upon the termination of the Plan each member
        is to receive a lump sum value of his benefit.

ARTICLE 11 - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

11.01   ADMINISTRATION

        The general administration of this Plan shall be the responsibility of
        the Committee which is hereby authorized, in its sole
        discretion, to delegate said responsibilities to any person or
        administrative committee. The Committee may also grant additional
        benefits under this Plan as it may deem appropriate in its sole
        discretion. All determinations of the Committee including, but not
        limited to

        (i)     the determination of the Executive's Service, and Earnings and

        (ii)    computations of benefit amounts

         made by the Committee in its sole discretion, based on the Plan
         document shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Executive,
         surviving Spouse, Beneficiary and other persons, except to the extent
         that a determination of the Committee is found by a court of competent
         jurisdiction to be arbitrary and capricious.

11.02   NO GUARANTEE OF EMPLOYMENT

        It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that this Plan does
        not itself constitute a contract of employment and shall not be deemed
        to restrict in any way the rights of the Company or the Executive with
        respect to termination of employment. Nothing in this Plan shall
        prevent the Company from dismissing the Executive from its employ, with
        or without cause, subject to such rights, if any, as may thereupon
        accrue to the Executive hereunder. Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed
        to limit or expand any right or obligation which the Executive,
        surviving Spouse, Beneficiary or estate may have under the terms and
        conditions of the Basic Plan.

11.03   NON-ALIENATION OF BENEFITS

        No benefit payable hereunder may be assigned, pledged, mortgaged or
        hypothecated and, except to the extent required by applicable law, no
        such benefit shall be subject to legal process or attachment for the
        payment of any claims of a creditor of the Executive or surviving
        Spouse.

11.04   PAYMENT TO REPRESENTATIVES

        If an individual entitled to receive any benefits hereunder is
        determined by the Committee or is


                                    9 of 11
<PAGE>


        adjudged to be legally incapable of giving valid receipt and discharge
        for such benefits, they shall be paid to the duly appointed and acting
        guardian, if any, and if no such guardian is appointed and acting, to
        such persons as the Committee may designate. Such payment shall, to the
        extent made, be deemed a complete discharge of the obligation to make
        such payments under this Plan.

11.05   TIMING OF PAYMENTS

        If the Committee is unable to make the determination required under
        this Plan in sufficient time for payments to be made when due, the
        Committee shall arrange to have the payments made upon the completion
        of such determinations, with interest at a reasonable rate from the due
        date and may, at its option, make provisional payments, subject to
        adjustment, pending such determinations.

11.06   CLAIMS PROCEDURE

        Any claim by an Executive or other payee with respect to eligibility,
        participation, benefit or other aspects of the operation of the Plan
        shall be made in writing to the Committee. If the Committee believes
        that the claim should be denied, it shall notify the claimant in
        writing of the denial of the claim within 90 days after its receipt
        thereof (this period may be extended an additional 90 days in special
        circumstances). Such notice shall

        (a)     set forth the specific reason or reasons for the denial, making
                reference to the pertinent provisions of the Plan or of Plan
                documents on which the denial is based,

        (c)     describe any additional material or information necessary to
                perfect the claim, and explain why such material or
                information, if any, is necessary, and

        (d)     inform the Executive or other payee making the claim of his
                right pursuant to this Section 11.07 to request review of the
                decision of the Committee.

        Any such person may appeal the denial of a claim to the Committee by
        submitting a written request for review to the Committee within 60 days
        after the day on which such denial is received. Such period may be
        extended by the Committee for good cause shown. The person making the
        request for review or his duly authorized representative may discuss
        any issues relevant to the claim, may review pertinent documents and
        may submit issues and comments in writing. If the Committee deems it
        appropriate, it may hold a hearing as to a claim. If a hearing is held,
        the claimant shall be entitled to be represented by counsel. The
        Committee shall decide whether or not to grant the claim within 60 days
        after receipt of the request for review, but this period may be
        extended by the Committee for up to an additional 60 days in special
        circumstances (the claimant shall be notified of the delay). The
        decision of the Committee shall be in writing, shall include specific
        reasons for the decision and shall refer to pertinent provisions of the
        Plan or of Plan documents on which the decision is based. Any claim not
        decided upon in the required time period shall be deemed denied.

        All interpretations, determinations and decisions of the Committee with
        respect to any claim shall be made in its sole discretion based on the
        Plan documents and shall be final and conclusive.

        wherever the context so requires.

11.09   TITLES AND HEADINGS
