Commencing with the 2007 fiscal year, the Executive will be eligible to receive a bonus with respect to 2007 and each later fiscal year ending during the Term computed in accordance with the provisions hereafter.

An Annual Bonus if earned in accordance with this Agreement shall be paid no later than the fifteenth day of the third month next following the year with respect to which such bonus was earned, provided that, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, as a condition precedent to any bonus entitlement the Executive must remain in employment with the Company at the time that the Annual Bonus is paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the ‘‘Code’’), may be applicable, such Annual Bonus shall be subject to, and contingent upon, such shareholder approval as is necessary to cause the Annual Bonus to qualify as ‘‘performance-based compensation’’ under Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder as well as approval of this Section 3.2.1 by the Compensation Committee of Parent’s board of directors.

For the purposes of this Agreement, ‘‘Consolidated EBITDA’’ means for any fiscal year of the Company, consolidated net income for such fiscal year plus, without duplication and to the extent reflected as a charge in the statement of such consolidated net income for such fiscal year, the sum of (i) income tax expense, (ii) interest expense, amortization or write-off 

2

of debt discount and debt issuance costs and commissions (to the extent not already captured in interest expense), discounts and other fees and charges associated with indebtedness, (iii) depreciation and amortization expense (excluding amounts of prepaid incentives under customer contracts), (iv) any extraordinary non-cash expenses or losses, (v) any costs and expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of the Company by Parent or an affiliate, (vi) any auditing, legal, reporting or administrative expenses incurred by the Company in complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or other reporting obligations required by securities laws applicable to publicly traded corporations (except to the extent such expenses are of a type historically charged to the business in the ordinary course), and (vii) all restructuring costs and minus (i) to the extent included in the statement of such consolidated net income for such period, the sum of (a) interest income, (b) any extraordinary or non-recurring income or gains (including, whether or not otherwise includable as a separate item in the statement of such consolidated net income for such period, gains on the sales of assets outside of the ordinary course of business), and (c) income tax credits (to the extent not netted from income tax expense) and (ii) any cash payments made during such period in respect of items described in clause (iv) above subsequent to the fiscal quarter in which the relevant non-cash expenses or losses were reflected as a charge in the statement of consolidated net income, all as determined on a consolidated basis, all of the foregoing to be determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee of Parent’s board of directors, as applicable, with a view to consistency with management projections disclosed as presented to Parent in the Confidential Management Presentation dated August 2005. For the purposes of determining compensation milestones for any fiscal year, Consolidated EBITDA will be adjusted by the Board or the Compensation Committee of Parent’s board of directors, as applicable, as appropriate for material acquisitions or dispositions of any business or assets of or by the Company or its subsidiaries for such fiscal year and thereafter.

3.2.2    Long Term Incentive Plan.    During the Term, the Executive shall participate in the Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan (‘‘LTIP’’). The Executive will receive 21% of the ‘‘LTIP bonus pool,’’ as defined in and in accordance with the LTIP (which will include a provision that the LTIP bonus pool will be 20% of Consolidated EBITDA achieved by the Company in excess of the target Consolidated EBITDA). If the Term is extended, the Executive shall participate in a new Long Term Incentive Plan that shall commence after the LTIP ends. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Section 162(m) of the Code may be applicable, the LTIP (and any subsequent Long Term Incentive Plan) shall be subject to, and contingent upon, such shareholder approval as is necessary to cause the LTIP to qualify as ‘‘performance-based compensation’’ under Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

3.3    Business Expenses.    The Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all reasonable expenses actually incurred or paid by the Executive during the Term in the performance of the Executive’s services under this Agreement, upon presentation of expense statements or vouchers or such other supporting information as the Company customarily may require of its officers provided, however, that the maximum amount available for such expenses during any period may be fixed in advance by the Board.

3.4    Vacation.    During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to a vacation period or periods of four (4) weeks taken in accordance with the vacation policy of the Company during each year of the Term. Vacation time not used by the end of a year shall be forfeited.

3.5    Fringe Benefits.    During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to all benefits for which the Executive shall be eligible under any qualified pension plan, 401(k) plan, group insurance or other so-called ‘‘fringe’’ benefit plan which Clarke American provides to its executive employees generally.

of Base Salary payable ratably in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices, (ii)  pro-rated Annual Bonus for the year in which retirement occurs if the Executive would have been eligible to receive such bonus hereunder (including due to satisfaction by the Company of performance milestones) had the Executive been employed at the time such Annual Bonus is normally paid, which pro-rated Annual Bonus will be paid at the time and in the manner such Annual Bonus is paid to other executives receiving such bonus payment and (iii) continuation for a 12-month period following the date of termination of group health plan benefits to the extent authorized by and consistent with 29 U.S.C. § 1161 et seq.

4.7    Release.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that any and all payments, other than payment of any accrued and unpaid Base Salary to which the Executive is entitled under this Section 4 are conditioned upon and subject to the Executive’s execution of a general waiver and release, in such form as may be prepared by the Company, of all claims, except for such matters covered by provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.

4.8    Section 409A.    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, if any payments or benefits due to the Executive hereunder would cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code such payments or benefits shall be restructured in a manner which does not cause such an accelerated or additional tax. Without limiting the application of the preceding sentence, any payment of money due hereunder which is delayed in order to avoid the application of Section 409A of the Code (e.g., a six-month delay in the commencement of severance, if necessary, if at the time of the Executive’s termination of employment he is a ‘‘specified employee,’’ as defined in Section 409A of the Code) shall be paid as soon as possible without causing the application of Section 409A.

5.     Protection of Confidential Information; Restrictive Covenants.

5.1    From the Effective Date, the Company will share with Executive confidential and trade secret information regarding not only the Company but also its subsidiaries and affiliates.

In addition, if the Executive breaches any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 and the Company obtains injunctive relief with respect thereto, the period during which the Executive is required to comply with that particular covenant shall be extended by the same period that the Executive was in breach of such covenant prior to the effective date of such injunctive relief.

5.6    The Executive agrees (whether during or after the Executive’s employment with the Company) not to issue, circulate, publish or utter any false or disparaging statements, remarks or rumors about the Company or its affiliates or the officers, directors, managers, customers, partners, or shareholders of the Company or its affiliates unless giving truthful testimony under subpoena.
