Whereas, on or about January 1, 2005, Delphax and Harland Clarke entered into that certain Maintenance Agreement, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Maintenance Agreement dated as of January 1, 2008 (the "Maintenance Agreement"), pursuant to which Harland Clarke engaged Delphax Technologies, Inc. to perform certain maintenance functions (the "Maintenance Services") for Harland Clarke's Imaggia printers (the "Equipment");



WHEREAS, the Parties have determined to terminate the Maintenance Agreement and for Harland Clarke to assume performance of the Maintenance Services on the Equipment; and



WHEREAS, the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement which shall set forth the terms pursuant to which (i) Delphax shall provide to Harland Clarke and Harland Clarke shall acquire from Delphax the Products (defined below), including tools and equipment; (ii) Delphax shall transfer performance of the Maintenance Services to Harland Clarke and perform the Transition Services (defined below) in furtherance of such transfer; (iii) Harland Clarke shall be permitted to hire the Transferred Employees (defined below); and (iv) Delphax shall provide to Harland Clarke the Post-Transition Support Services (defined below) and Training Services (defined below) to Harland Clarke.



NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, mutual promises, and conditions set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:





	Effect of Execution.  The Parties agree that as of the Effective Date, the Maintenance Agreement shall be deemed terminated in accordance with the provisions thereof (other than as expressly set forth herein) and that this Agreement shall set forth all of Delphax's obligations with respect to the Products and Equipment.


	Supply of Products.  



	Sale and Purchase of Products.  Delphax agrees to manufacture, acquire on behalf of, sell and deliver to Harland Clarke, and Harland Clarke agrees to purchase and receive from Delphax, its requirements of the parts, supplies, tools, equipment and other consumables required to fully support the operation of the Equipment, as specifically described in Schedule A attached hereto (the "Products").


	Rolling Forecast; Purchase Orders.  Each month during the Term (defined below), Harland Clarke will provide to Delphax and Delphax shall accept from Harland Clarke a purchase order (each, a "Purchase Order") for delivery not later than six (6) months thereafter of Harland Clarke's requirements for the Products specified in the Purchase Order.  Each Purchase Order shall be deemed accepted by Delphax unless Delphax provides written notice to the contrary to Harland Clarke within three (3) business days following receipt of such Purchase Order; provided, however, that Delphax shall not reject any Purchase Order unless Harland Clarke's requirements for Products therein are unreasonably disproportionate to Harland Clarke's historical usage of such Products.  During the initial six (6) months of the Term, Delphax shall deliver to Harland Clarke, and Harland Clarke shall purchase from Delphax, the Products in such amounts and at such frequencies consistent with Harland Clarke's historic usage under the Maintenance Agreement and as necessary to maintain operation of the Equipment for that initial six-month period.  Thereafter, delivery dates shall be as specified in Harland Clarke's Purchase Orders, provided that such dates do not involve lead times that are shorter than the historical pattern.  Those certain general terms and conditions of sale and purchase previously agreed to among the Parties and attached hereto as Exhibit A shall apply to all Purchase Orders issued by Harland Clarke under this Agreement.  In the event, however, of any conflict or inconsistency between such general terms and conditions as set forth in Exhibit A and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail. 


	Pricing.  Prices for the Products sold hereunder during the remainder of 2008 and during 2009 shall be as set forth under the appropriate column for 2008 and 2009 on Schedule A attached hereto and shall not be subject to any increase prior to January 1, 2010.  On January 1, 2010 and annually thereafter, prices for the Products may be increased by Delphax not more than once per year; provided, however, that except for the volume based price changes referred to on Schedule A, *.  Delphax shall provide not less than sixty (60) days' prior written notice to Harland Clarke of any proposed price increase under this Section 2(c).  Beginning in calendar year 2010 and during any subsequent calendar year thereafter during the Term, if the total volume of Products purchased hereunder (as measured in US$) by Harland Clarke decreases by more than *, excluding (i) Harland Clarke's purchase of the Onsite Products (defined below) pursuant to Section 3(d) of this Agreement and (ii) any Products received pursuant to all purchase orders issued to Delphax by Harland Clarke prior to the Effective Date, the Parties agree to work in good faith to renegotiate pricing for the immediately subsequent year's purchases on the basis of said reduction in volume.


	Delivery; Shipping and Risk of Loss.  Upon receipt of each Purchase Order issued hereunder, Delphax shall coordinate delivery of the Products with the designated Harland Clarke representative to optimize freight costs.  The Products shall be (i) packaged by Delphax in accordance with mutually agreed upon specifications and in a manner so as to prevent destruction and/or damage of the Products while in transit and (ii) placed for shipment by Delphax F.O.B. the Delphax facility with a carrier designated by Harland Clarke.  The cost of shipping shall be borne by Harland Clarke.  The risk of loss, damage, theft or destruction of the Products during shipment from any cause whatsoever, whether or not insured, shall be borne by Harland Clarke. 




	Invoicing.  Contemporaneously with the shipment of the Products, Delphax shall issue to Harland Clarke an invoice for such shipment.

Following the performance of such inspection, Harland Clarke shall inform Delphax of any Products it deems to be defective and shall return to Delphax such defective products at Delphax's expense.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this section shall relieve Delphax for responsibility for latent defects in the Products.




	Payment.  The invoice amount on each Purchase Order shall be due and payable by Harland Clarke to Delphax within thirty (30) days after the invoice date.  


	Disputed Payments; Credit Memos.  In the event that Harland Clarke disputes an amount previously paid pursuant to Section 2(g) above, Harland Clarke shall notify Delphax of such dispute as soon as practicable after the discrepancy has been discovered.  The Parties will investigate the dispute using the dispute resolution process set forth in Section 19 below.
