                         -------------------------

     INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT, dated as of __________,  200_, by and among
CommScope, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), CommScope, Inc. of
North Carolina, a North Carolina corporation and a wholly-owned  subsidiary
of the Company (the  "Subsidiary"),  and the director and/or officer of the
Company and/or the  Subsidiary  whose name appears on the signature page of
this Agreement ("Indemnitee").

                                  RECITALS
                                  --------

     A. Highly  competent  persons are  becoming  more  reluctant  to serve
publicly-held  corporations as directors or officers or in other capacities
unless they are provided with reasonable  protection  through  insurance or
indemnification  against  risks of claims and actions  against them arising
out of their service to and activities on behalf of the corporations.

     B. The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") has  determined
that the Company should act to assure its directors and officers, and those
of  the  Subsidiary,  that  there  will  be  increased  certainty  of  such
protection in the future.

     C. It  is   reasonable,   prudent  and   necessary  for   the  Company
contractually  to obligate  itself to indemnify such persons to the fullest
extent  permitted by applicable  law so that they will serve or continue to
serve the Company and the Subsidiary free from undue concern that they will
not be so indemnified.

     D. Indemnitee is willing to serve, to continue to serve and to take on
additional service for or on behalf of the Company and/or the Subsidiary on
the condition the Indemnitee be so indemnified.

     E. In consideration of the benefits received and to be received by the
Subsidiary  in  connection  with actions taken and to be taken by the Board
and by the officers of the Company,  the Subsidiary has determined  that it
is in the best interest of the  Subsidiary  for the reasons set forth above
to be a party  to this  Agreement  and to  provide  indemnification  to the
directors and officers of the Company and the Subsidiary in connection with
their service to and  activities on behalf of the Company,  the  Subsidiary
and their respective subsidiaries.

     F. The Subsidiary acknowledges that for purposes of this Agreement the
directors  and  officers of the Company who enter into this  Agreement  are
serving in such capacities at the request of the Subsidiary.

     G. The  Subsidiary  further  acknowledges   that  such  directors  and
officers  are  willing  to  serve,  to  continue  to  serve  and to take on
additional service for or on behalf of the Company,  thereby benefiting the
Subsidiary and its subsidiaries, on the condition that the Subsidiary enter
into, and provide indemnification pursuant to, this Agreement.

     In consideration of the premises and the covenants  contained  herein,
the Company, the Subsidiary and the Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree
as follows:

          Indemnitee  is or was or will be serving as a director or officer
          directly  or  indirectly  at the  request  of the  Company or the
          Subsidiary,  and  including,  but not  limited to,  service  with
          respect to an employee benefit plan.

               (ii)  "Applicable  Corporate Law" shall mean the laws of the
          state  whose  corporate  laws govern any  particular  request for
          indemnification.  With  respect to any claim for  indemnification
          arising as a result of service as an officer or  director  of the
          Company,  the  Applicable  Corporate Law shall be the laws of the
          State of Delaware.  With respect to any claim for indemnification
          arising as a result of service as an officer or  director  of the
          Subsidiary, the Applicable Corporate Law shall be the laws of the
          State of  North  Carolina.  In any case in which it is  uncertain
          which state law is the Applicable  Corporate Law, the laws of the
          state which provides the greatest rights to the Indemnitee  shall
          govern.

               (iii) "Disinterested  Director" shall mean a director of the
          Company who is not a party to a Proceeding,  as defined below, in

          postage,  delivery  service fees and all other  disbursements  or
          expenses  incurred in  connection  with  asserting  or  defending
          claims.

               (v)  "Fines"  shall  include  any excise  taxes  assessed on
          Indemnitee with respect to any employee benefit plan.

               (vi)  "Independent  Counsel" shall mean a law firm or lawyer

          Proceeding giving rise to a claim for  indemnification  hereunder
          in any matter material to such other party.  Notwithstanding  the
          foregoing,  the term "Independent  Counsel" shall not include any
          firm  or  person  who,   under  the   applicable   standards   of
          professional  conduct then  prevailing,  would have a conflict of
          interest in  representing  any of the Company,  the Subsidiary or
          Indemnitee  in an  action  to  determine  Indemnitee's  right  to
          indemnification  under  this  Agreement.   All  Expenses  of  the
          Independent  Counsel  incurred in connection with acting pursuant
          to this Agreement shall be borne by the Company.

               (vii) "Losses" shall mean all Expenses,  liabilities, losses
          and claims (including attorneys' fees,  judgments,  fines, excise
          taxes,  penalties and amounts to be paid in settlement)  incurred
          in connection with any Proceeding.

                                     2

<PAGE>

               (viii) "Proceeding" shall include any threatened, pending or
          completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution
          mechanism,  investigation,  administrative  hearing  or any other
          proceeding,   whether   civil,   criminal,    administrative   or
          investigative, and any appeal therefrom.

          (b) For  purposes of this  Agreement,  a person who acted in good
     faith and in a manner  such  person  reasonably  believed to be in the
     interest of the participants and  beneficiaries of an employee benefit
     plan  shall be deemed to have  acted in a manner  "not  opposed to the
     best interests of the Company" as referred to in this  Agreement;  the
     term "serving at the request of the Company or the  Subsidiary"  shall
     include any service as a director,  officer,  employee or agent of the
     corporation  which  imposes  duties on, or involves  services by, such
     director,  officer,  employee  or agent with  respect  to an  employee
     benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and references to the
     "Company"  or "the  Subsidiary"  shall  include,  in  addition  to the
     resulting  corporation,  any  constituent  corporation  (including any
     constituent of a constituent)  absorbed in a  consolidation  or merger
     which, if its separate  existence had continued,  would have had power
     and  authority to indemnify  Indemnitee in its capacity as a director,
     officer,  or employee or agent, so that Indemnitee  shall stand in the
     same position  under this  Agreement  with respect to the resulting or
     surviving  corporation as Indemnitee  would have stood with respect to
     such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

     2. Service by  Indemnitee.  Indemnitee  agrees to begin or continue to
serve the Company or the  Subsidiary or any Affiliate as a director  and/or
officer.  Notwithstanding  anything contained herein,  this Agreement shall
not create a contract of employment  between the Company or the  Subsidiary
and Indemnitee,  and the termination of Indemnitee's  relationship with the
Company or the  Subsidiary or an Affiliate by either party hereto shall not
be restricted by this Agreement.

     3.  Indemnification.  The  Company  and  the  Subsidiary  jointly  and
severally agree to indemnify  Indemnitee for, and hold Indemnitee  harmless
from and  against,  any  Losses  or  Expenses  at any time  incurred  by or
assessed  against  Indemnitee  arising  out of or in  connection  with  the
service  of  Indemnitee  as a director  or  officer  of the  Company or the
Subsidiary or of an Affiliate  (collectively  referred to as an "Officer or
Director of the Company") to the fullest extent permitted by the Applicable
Corporate  Laws in effect on the date  hereof or as such laws may from time
to time  hereafter  be  amended  to  increase  the scope of such  permitted
indemnification.  Without  diminishing  the  scope  of the  indemnification
provided by this  Section 3, the rights of  indemnification  of  Indemnitee
provided  hereunder  shall include but shall not be limited to those rights
set forth  hereinafter.  Nothing in this  Agreement  shall be  construed as
limiting  any  right  of  indemnification   arising  under  the  Applicable
Corporate Laws.

     4. Action or Proceeding Other Than an Action by or in the Right of the
Company  or  the   Subsidiary.   Indemnitee   shall  be   entitled  to  the
indemnification rights provided herein if Indemnitee is a person who was or
is made a party  or is  threatened  to be  made a party  to or is  involved
(including, without limitation, as a witness) in any Proceeding, other than
an action by or in the right of the Company or the Subsidiary,  as the case
may be, by reason of (a) the fact that  Indemnitee  is or was an Officer or
Director of the Company or any other entity which  Indemnitee  is or was or
will be serving at the  request of the  Company or the  Subsidiary,  as the
case may be, or (b)  anything  done or not done by  Indemnitee  in any such
capacity.

                                     3

     5.  Actions  by or in the  Right  of the  Company  or the  Subsidiary.
Indemnitee shall be entitled to the indemnification  rights provided herein
if Indemnitee is a person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made
a party to or is involved (including,  without limitation, as a witness) in
any Proceeding  brought by or in the right of the Company or the Subsidiary
to  procure  a  judgment  in its  favor  by  reason  of (a) the  fact  that
Indemnitee  is or was an Officer or Director of the Company or (b) anything
done or not done by  Indemnitee  in any  such  capacity.  Pursuant  to this
Section,  Indemnitee  shall  be  indemnified  against  Losses  or  Expenses
incurred or suffered by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee's  behalf in connection
with the defense or  settlement of any  Proceeding  if Indemnitee  acted in
good faith and in a manner Indemnitee  reasonably  believed to be in or not
opposed  to the best  interests  of the  Company or the  Subsidiary  or the
stockholders of the Company.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing  provisions of
this  Section,  no such  indemnification  shall be made in  respect  of any
claim,  issue or matter as to which the Applicable  Corporate Law expressly
prohibits such indemnification by reason of an adjudication of liability of
Indemnitee to the Company or the  Subsidiary  unless and only to the extent
that the Court of  Chancery  of the State of Delaware or the court in which
such action or suit was brought  shall  determine  upon  application  that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the  circumstances
of the case,  Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for
such  Losses and  Expenses  which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper.

     6.  Indemnification  for Losses and Expenses of Party Who is Wholly or
Partly Successful.  Notwithstanding  any other provision of this Agreement,
to the extent that  Indemnitee has been wholly  successful on the merits or
otherwise in any Proceeding  referred to in Section 3, 4 or 5 hereof on any
claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all
Losses and Expenses  incurred by  Indemnitee or on  Indemnitee's  behalf in
connection  therewith.  If  Indemnitee  is not  wholly  successful  in such
Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more
but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company
and the Subsidiary  jointly and severally agree to indemnify  Indemnitee to
the  maximum  extent  permitted  by law  against  all Losses  and  Expenses
incurred by Indemnitee in connection with each successfully resolved claim,
issue or matter. For purposes of this Section and without  limitation,  the
termination of any such claim, issue or matter by dismissal with or without
prejudice  shall be deemed to be a successful  resolution as to such claim,
issue or matter.

     7. Settlement. The Company and the Subsidiary shall have no obligation
to  indemnify  Indemnitee  under this  Agreement  for any  amounts  paid in
settlement of any Proceeding  effected  without the Company's prior written
consent.  The Company and the Subsidiary shall not settle any claim, in any
manner,  which would  impose any Loss on  Indemnitee  without  Indemnitee's
prior written consent.  The Company, the Subsidiary or Indemnitee shall not
unreasonably withhold their consent to any proposed settlement.

     8.  Payment  for  Expenses  of a  Witness.  Notwithstanding  any other
provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of
the fact that  Indemnitee  is or was an Officer or Director of the Company,
as the  case may be, a  witness  in any  Proceeding,  the  Company  and the
Subsidiary  jointly and severally  agree to pay to Indemnitee  all Expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee's behalf in
connection therewith.

                                     4
<PAGE>

     9. Advancement of Expenses and Costs.  All Expenses  incurred by or on
behalf of Indemnitee (or  reasonably  expected by Indemnitee to be incurred
by Indemnitee  within three months) in connection with any Proceeding shall
be  paid  by the  Company  or  the  Subsidiary  in  advance  of  the  final
disposition of such Proceeding  within twenty days after the receipt by the
Company or the  Subsidiary  of a statement or  statements  from  Indemnitee
requesting  from time to time such  advance or  advances,  whether or not a
determination  to indemnify  has been made under  Section 10.  Indemnitee's
entitlement to such advancement of Expenses shall include those incurred in
connection  with any Proceeding by Indemnitee  seeking an  adjudication  or
award in arbitration  pursuant to this Agreement.  The financial ability of
Indemnitee to repay an advance shall not be a prerequisite to the making of
such advance.  Such statement or statements shall reasonably  evidence such
Expenses incurred (or reasonably  expected to be incurred) by Indemnitee in
connection  therewith  and, if required by the  Applicable  Corporate  Law,
shall include or be accompanied by a written undertaking by or on behalf of
Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall  ultimately be determined  that
Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified therefor pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement.

     10.  Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.
          -------------------------------------------------------------

               (a) When seeking indemnification under this Agreement (which
          shall not include in any case the right of  Indemnitee to receive
          payments pursuant to Section 8 and Section 9 hereof,  which shall
          not be subject to this  Section  10),  Indemnitee  shall submit a
          written  request  for  indemnification  to the  Company  and  the
          Subsidiary;  provided,  however,  that no delay or failure on the
          part of the Indemnitee in notifying the Company or the Subsidiary
          shall relieve the Company or the Subsidiary,  as the case may be,
          from any obligation hereunder unless and solely to the extent the
          Company or the Subsidiary,  as the case may be, is materially and
          adversely  prejudiced  thereby.   Determination  of  Indemnitee's
          entitlement to indemnification shall be made promptly,  but in no
          event  later than 60 days after  receipt by the  Company  and the
          Subsidiary of Indemnitee's  written request for  indemnification.
          The  Secretary  of the Company  shall,  promptly  upon receipt of
          Indemnitee's request for  indemnification,  advise the Board that
          Indemnitee has made such request for indemnification.

               (b) If, at the time of the receipt of a written  request for
          indemnification  pursuant to Section 10(a) above, the Company has
          D&O  Insurance,  as such term is defined in Section 15 below,  in
          effect,  the Company shall give prompt  notice of the  Proceeding
          which  is  the  subject  of  such  request  to  the  insurers  in
          accordance  with  the  procedures  set  forth  in the  respective
          policies in favor of Indemnitee.  The Company shall,  thereafter,
          take all necessary or desirable  action to cause such insurers to
          pay, on behalf of Indemnitee,  all Losses and Expenses payable as
          a result of such action,  suit or proceeding  in accordance  with
          the terms of such policies.

               (c) The entitlement of Indemnitee to  indemnification  under
          this  Agreement  shall be  determined in the specific case (1) by
          the Board by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even
          though  less  than  a  quorum,  or  (2)  by a  committee  of  the
          Disinterested  Directors  designated  by  majority  vote  of  the
          Disinterested  Directors,  even though less than a quorum, or (3)
          if there are no Disinterested Directors, or if such Disinterested
          Directors  so  direct,  by  Independent  Counsel,  or  (4) by the
          stockholders of the Company.

                                     5
<PAGE>

               (d) In the event the  determination  of entitlement is to be
          made by Independent  Counsel,  such Independent  Counsel shall be
          selected  by  the  Board  and  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the
          Subsidiary and approved by Indemnitee.  Upon failure of the Board
          and the Board of  Directors of the  Subsidiary  to so select such
          Independent  Counsel or upon failure of Indemnitee to so approve,
          such  Independent  Counsel  shall  be  selected  by the  American
          Arbitration  Association  of New  York,  New  York or such  other
          person  as  such   Association   shall  designate  to  make  such
          selection.

               (e) If a  determination  made  pursuant to Section  10(c) is
          that  Indemnitee is not entitled to  indemnification  to the full
          extent of Indemnitee's  request,  Indemnitee shall have the right
          to seek  entitlement to  indemnification  in accordance  with the
          procedures set forth in Section 11 hereof.

               (f) If the person or persons  empowered  pursuant to Section
          10(c) to make a  determination  with  respect to  entitlement  to
          indemnification   shall  have   failed  to  make  the   requested
          determination within 60 days after receipt by the Company and the
          Subsidiary  of  such  request,  the  requisite  determination  of
          entitlement to indemnification  shall be deemed to have been made
          and   Indemnitee   shall   be   absolutely   entitled   to   such
          indemnification,  absent (i) misrepresentation by Indemnitee of a
          material fact in the request for  indemnification or (ii) a final
          judicial   determination   that   all  or  any   part   of   such
          indemnification is expressly prohibited by law.

               (g) The  termination of any  Proceeding by judgment,  order,
          settlement or  conviction,  or upon a plea of nolo  contendere or
          its equivalent, shall not, of itself, adversely affect the rights
          of  Indemnitee  to  indemnification  hereunder  except  as may be
          specifically  provided  herein,  or  create  a  presumption  that
          Indemnitee  did not  act in  good  faith  and in a  manner  which
          Indemnitee  reasonably  believed  to be in or not  opposed to the
          best   interests  of  the  Company  or  the   Subsidiary  or  the
          stockholders  of the  Company,  as the case may be,  or  create a
          presumption   that  (with  respect  to  any  criminal  action  or
          proceeding)  Indemnitee  had  reasonable  cause to  believe  that
          Indemnitee's conduct was lawful.

               (h)  For  purposes  of  any   determination  of  good  faith
          hereunder, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith
          if in taking  such  action  Indemnitee  relied on the  records or
          books  of  account  of  the  Company  or  the  Subsidiary  or  an
          Affiliate,  including  financial  statements,  or on  information
          supplied  to  Indemnitee  by the  officers  of the Company or the
          Subsidiary or an Affiliate in the course of their  duties,  or on
          the advice of legal counsel for the Company or the  Subsidiary or
          an Affiliate or on  information  or records given or reports made
          to  the  Company  or  the   Subsidiary  or  an  Affiliate  by  an
          independent  certified  public  accountant  or by an appraiser or
          other expert  selected with  reasonable  care. The Company and/or
          the Subsidiary  shall have the burden of establishing the absence
          of good faith.  The provisions of this Section 10(h) shall not be
          deemed  to  be  exclusive  or to  limit  in  any  way  the  other
          circumstances  in which  Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the
          applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.

                                     6
<PAGE>

               (i) The knowledge and/or actions,  or failure to act, of any
          other director,  officer, agent or employee of the Company or the
          Subsidiary or an Affiliate shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for
          purposes of determining the right to  indemnification  under this
          Agreement.

     11.  Remedies in Cases of Determination Not to Indemnify or to Advance
          Expenses.
          -----------------------------------------------------------------

               (a) In the  event  that  (i) a  determination  is made  that
          Indemnitee  is not entitled to  indemnification  hereunder,  (ii)
          advances  are not made  pursuant  to  Section  9 hereof  or (iii)
          payment  has not been timely made  following a  determination  of
          entitlement  to  indemnification  pursuant  to Section 10 hereof,
          Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek a final adjudication, either
          through an arbitration  proceeding or in an appropriate  court of
          the  State  of  Delaware   or  any  other   court  of   competent
          jurisdiction  permitted  by  the  Applicable  Corporate  Law,  of
          Indemnitee's entitlement to such indemnification or advance.

               (b) In the event a determination has been made in accordance
          with the procedures  set forth in Section 10 hereof,  in whole or
          in part, that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification,  any
          judicial  proceeding or arbitration  referred to in Section 11(a)
          shall be de novo and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason
          of any such prior  determination  that Indemnitee is not entitled
          to  indemnification,  and the Company and/or the Subsidiary shall
          bear the burdens of proof  specified  in Sections 6 and 10 hereof
          in such proceeding.

               (c) If a  determination  is made or deemed to have been made
          pursuant to the terms of Section 10 or 11 hereof that  Indemnitee
          is entitled to  indemnification,  the Company and the  Subsidiary
          shall be bound by such  determination in any judicial  proceeding
          or  arbitration  in the absence of (i) a  misrepresentation  of a
          material   fact  by   Indemnitee   or   (ii)  a  final   judicial
          determination  that  all or any part of such  indemnification  is
          expressly prohibited by law.

               (d) To the extent deemed appropriate by the court,  interest
          shall be paid by the  Company  or the  Subsidiary,  or  both,  to
          Indemnitee  at a reasonable  interest  rate for amounts which the
          Company or the Subsidiary,  or both, indemnifies or is obliged to
          indemnify  Indemnitee for the period  commencing with the date on
          which Indemnitee  requested  indemnification (or reimbursement or
          advancement  of any  Expenses)  and ending with the date on which
          such  payment  is  made  to  Indemnitee  by  the  Company  or the
          Subsidiary, or both.

               (e) In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right
          to  indemnification  hereunder  (but not in a suit brought by the
          Indemnitee to enforce a right to an  advancement  of expenses) it
          shall be a defense that the Indemnitee has not met any applicable
          standard for indemnification required by the Applicable Corporate
          Law.  In any suit  brought by the  Company or the  Subsidiary  to
          recover an  advancement  of expenses  pursuant to the terms of an
          undertaking,  the Company and/or the Subsidiary shall be entitled
          to  recover  such  expenses  upon a final  adjudication  that the
          Indemnitee  has  failed  to  meet  any  applicable  standard  for
          indemnification required by the Applicable Corporate Law. Neither
          the  failure  of  the  Company   (including   its   Disinterested

                                     7
<PAGE>

          Directors,  a committee of Disinterested  Directors designated by
          majority  vote  of  the  Disinterested   Directors,   Independent
          Counsel,  or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior
          to the  commencement  of such  suit that  indemnification  of the
          Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances  because the Indemnitee
          has met the  applicable  standard  of  conduct  set  forth in the
          Applicable  Corporate  Law,  nor an actual  determination  by the
          Company  (including its Disinterested  Directors,  a committee of
          Disinterested  Directors  designated  by  majority  vote  of  the
          Disinterested    Directors,    Independent    Counsel,   or   its
          stockholders)  that the  Indemnitee  has not met such  applicable
          standard  of  conduct,   shall  create  a  presumption  that  the
          Indemnitee has not met the applicable  standard of conduct or, in
          the case of such a suit brought by the  Indemnitee,  be a defense
          to such suit. In any suit brought by the  Indemnitee to enforce a
          right  to  indemnification  or  to  an  advancement  of  expenses
          hereunder,  or by the  Company  or the  Subsidiary  to recover an
          advancement of expenses  pursuant to the terms of an undertaking,
          the burden of proving that the  Indemnitee  is not entitled to be
          indemnified,  or to such  advancement  of  expenses,  under  this
          Section  11 or  otherwise  shall  be on the  Company  and/or  the
          Subsidiary.

     12.  Expenses  Incurred by Indemnitee to Enforce this  Agreement.  All
Expenses  incurred by  Indemnitee in connection  with the  preparation  and
submission of Indemnitee's  request for indemnification  hereunder shall be
jointly and severally borne by the Company and the Subsidiary. In the event
that  Indemnitee is a party to or intervenes in any Proceeding in which the
validity  or  enforceability  of this  Agreement  is at  issue  or seeks an
adjudication  to enforce  Indemnitee's  rights under, or to recover damages
for breach of, this Agreement,  Indemnitee, if Indemnitee prevails in whole
in such  action,  shall be  entitled  to recover  from the  Company and the
Subsidiary,  and shall be jointly and severally  indemnified by the Company
and the Subsidiary against,  any Expenses incurred by Indemnitee.  If it is
determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification for part (but not
all) of the  indemnification  so  requested,  Expenses  incurred in seeking
enforcement of such partial  indemnification  shall be reasonably  prorated
among the  claims,  issues or matters for which  Indemnitee  is entitled to
indemnification  and for claims,  issues or matters for which Indemnitee is
not so entitled.

     13.  Non-Exclusivity.  The  rights of  indemnification  and to receive
advances as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any
other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under any law,
certificate of incorporation, by-law, other agreement, vote of stockholders
or  resolution  of  directors  or  otherwise,  both  as to  action  in  the
Indemnitee's  official  capacity and as to action in another capacity while
holding such office. To the extent Indemnitee would be prejudiced  thereby,
no amendment,  alteration,  rescission or  replacement of this Agreement or
any provision  hereof shall be effective as to  Indemnitee  with respect to
any action taken or omitted by such  Indemnitee  in  Indemnitee's  position
with the Company or the  Subsidiary  or an  Affiliate  or any other  entity
which  Indemnitee  is or was  serving at the  request of the Company or the
Subsidiary prior to such amendment, alteration, rescission or replacement.

     14.  Duration of Agreement.  This  Agreement  shall apply to any claim
asserted and any Losses and Expenses  incurred in connection with any claim
asserted  on or  after  the  effective  date of this  Agreement  and  shall
continue  until  and  terminate  upon the later  of:  (a) ten  years  after
Indemnitee  has  ceased to occupy any of the  positions  or have any of the
relationships  described in Section 3, 4 or 5 hereof; or (b) one year after
the final termination of all pending or threatened  Proceedings of the kind
described  herein  with  respect to  Indemnitee.  This  Agreement  shall be
binding upon the Company and the Subsidiary and their respective successors
and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee  and  Indemnitee's
spouse, assigns, heirs, devisee,  executors,  administrators or other legal
representatives.

     15.  Maintenance of D&O Insurance.
          ----------------------------

          (a)  Subject  to  Section  15(c)  below,   the  Company  and  the
     Subsidiary each hereby  covenants and agrees with Indemnitee  that, so
     long as Indemnitee  shall  continue to serve as an Officer or Director
     of the Company and  thereafter so long as Indemnitee  shall be subject
     to any possible claim or threatened,  pending or completed Proceeding,
     whether civil,  criminal or investigative,  by reason of the fact that
     Indemnitee  was an Officer  or  Director  of the  Company or any other
     entity which  Indemnitee  was serving at the request of the Company or
     the Subsidiary,  the Company and the Subsidiary shall maintain in full
     force and effect (i) the directors' and officers'  liability insurance
     issued by the insurer and having the policy  amount and  deductible as
     currently  in effect with  respect to  Directors  and  Officers of the
     Company  or  any of its  subsidiaries  and  (ii)  any  replacement  or
     substitute policies issued by one or more reputable insurers providing
     in all respects coverage at least comparable to and in the same amount
     as that currently  provided under such existing policy  (collectively,
     "D&O Insurance").

          (b) In all policies of D&O Insurance,  the Officers and Directors
     of the  Company  shall  be named as  insureds  in such a manner  as to
     provide  Indemnitee the same rights and benefits,  subject to the same
     limitations,  as are accorded to the  Company's  directors or officers
     most favorably insured by such policy.

          (c)  Notwithstanding  anything to the  contrary  set forth in (a)
     above,  the Company and the  Subsidiary  shall have no  obligation  to
     maintain D&O Insurance if the Company and the Subsidiary  determine in
     good  faith  that such  insurance  is not  reasonably  available,  the
     premium cost for such insurance is  disproportionate  to the amount of
     coverage  provided  or the  coverage  provided  by such  insurance  is
     limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient benefit.

     16.  Severability.  Should  any  part,  term or  condition  hereof  be
declared  illegal or  unenforceable  or in conflict with any other law, the
validity  of the  remaining  portions  or  provisions  hereof  shall not be
affected thereby, and the illegal or unenforceable portions hereof shall be
and hereby are redrafted to conform with  applicable law, while leaving the
remaining portions hereof intact.

     17.   Counterparts.   This   Agreement  may  be  executed  in  several
counterparts,  each of which shall be deemed an original,  but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same document.

the parties hereto.

     20. No Duplicative  Payment.  The Company and the Subsidiary shall not

payment) under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

provided for by this Agreement shall be in writing (including telecopier or

Exhibit 10.1 

TRANSITION AGREEMENT 

        This
Transition Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into as of March 7, 2005, by and
between Deluxe Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (“Deluxe”), and Lawrence J.
Mosner (“Mosner”), an individual residing in the State of Minnesota. 

        WHEREAS,
Mosner has served as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of Deluxe
since December 2000, and has been a member of the Board of Directors of Deluxe (the
“Board”) since August 1999; 

        WHEREAS,
Mosner has announced his intention voluntarily to retire from his officer and director
positions with Deluxe upon the election by the Board of Mosner’s successor as CEO of
Deluxe; 

        WHEREAS,
the Board wants to recognize Mosner’s many years of loyal service to Deluxe and to
provide for the smooth transition of the CEO position; 

        WHEREAS,
the parties desire to set forth all matters regarding Mosner’s retirement as CEO,
resignation from the Board and his service as a consultant to the new CEO; and 

        WHEREAS,
the Board believes it is in the best interests of Deluxe’s shareholders to enter into
this Agreement. 

        NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants herein, the sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, Mosner and Deluxe agree as follows: 

        1.       Retirement
as CEO. Effective on the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2005,           and (ii) the
date on which his successor as CEO is elected by the Board (the           “Retirement
Date”), Mosner shall retire as Deluxe’s CEO, from all           other officer
positions he currently holds with Deluxe and its affiliates and           from all
director positions he holds with Deluxe and its affiliates. Effective           upon the
Retirement Date, the Severance Agreement, effective March 1, 2001,           between
Deluxe and Mosner (the “Severance Agreement”), and the           Executive
Retention Agreement dated December 18, 2000, between Deluxe and Mosner           (the “Retention Agreement”), shall each terminate and be of no further force           or
effect.  

        2.       Consulting
Regarding Transition of CEO Duties. After the Retirement Date           and for a
period not to exceed six months (the “Transition Period”) at           the
option of the Board, Mosner shall assist the new CEO in the transition of           his
duties as CEO in a diligent and business-like manner as and when reasonably
          requested by the new CEO, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth below:  

                (a)       Duration.
Such assistance shall be limited to no more than eight hours           per week of
consultations by Mosner, which may be performed from any location           that is
mutually acceptable to Mosner and the new CEO.  

 

                (b)       Duties.
Such assistance may include, in each case, only at the direction           and request of
Deluxe’s new CEO: (i) representing Deluxe with key industry,           civic and
philanthropic constituents, (ii) assisting Deluxe’s new CEO in           maintaining
and developing business relationships with key strategic partners,           (iii)
regularly meeting with the new CEO to review progress toward the           refinement and
execution of Deluxe’s strategy, and (iv) assisting the new           CEO in the
recognition and motivation of employees in pursuing Deluxe’s           strategy.  

                (c)       Reporting
Relationship. During the Transition Period, Mosner shall report           to Deluxe’s
new CEO.  

                (d)       Manner
of Performance. During the Transition Period, Mosner shall perform           all
services and duties that reasonably may be required of him pursuant to the
          terms hereof, to the reasonable satisfaction of Deluxe. Mosner shall not take
          any action that would be adverse to Deluxe’s business interests or that
may           subject Mosner, Deluxe or any of its affiliates to civil or criminal
liability.           In performing services hereunder, Mosner agrees to comply in full
with all           applicable laws, ethical standards, rules and regulations, and with
          Deluxe’s conflict of interest policies. Mosner represents that, on the
date           of this Agreement, he does not have any interest in any entity that would
          violate Deluxe’s conflict of interest policies or materially interfere in
          any manner with the performance of services under this Agreement. Subject to
the           restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement, including the
non-disclosure           and non-compete covenants, Mosner may engage in activities on
his own behalf or           on behalf of entities other than Deluxe and its affiliates,
and may allocate his           time between his obligations under this Agreement and such
other activities in           any manner Mosner deems appropriate, so long as Mosner’s
obligations under           this Agreement are satisfied. Mosner will have the sole right
to supervise,           manage, control and direct the performance of the details
incident to           Mosner’s duties described in this Agreement.  

                (e)       Independent
Contractor Status. Deluxe is retaining Mosner in the capacity           of an
independent contractor and not as an employee or agent of Deluxe or any of           its
affiliates. Mosner shall not be authorized at any time to execute any
          transaction on behalf of Deluxe or any of its affiliates. Nothing in this
          Agreement shall create, or shall be construed as creating, any form of
          partnership, joint venture, employer-employee relationship, or other
affiliation           that would permit Mosner to bind Deluxe or any of its affiliates
with respect to           any matter or would cause Deluxe or any of its affiliates to be
liable for any           action of Mosner. Neither Deluxe nor Mosner will represent to
any third party           that Mosner’s engagement by Deluxe hereunder is in any
capacity other than           as an independent contractor. Except as provided in Section
5 of this Agreement,           Deluxe shall not be obligated to maintain any insurance
for Mosner, including,           but not limited to, medical, dental, life or disability
insurance. Except as           required by law, Mosner will not be eligible to
participate in any employee           benefit plan or program of Deluxe. To the extent
Mosner employs others in           providing services under this Agreement, Mosner agrees
to comply with all           applicable workers’ compensation laws and to provide
satisfactory evidence           of such compliance to Deluxe on request.  

        3.       Compensation
Until the Retirement Date. Mosner shall continue to receive           his current
salary, bonus payable for 2004 performance and other compensation to           which he
is entitled in his current position with Deluxe to the Retirement Date.           Mr.
Mosner shall continue to receive the standard executive officer benefit of
          Company-paid reimbursements for financial and  

2

tax planning for 2005, in an
          aggregate amount not to exceed $16,000 for such year. On the Retirement Date,
          all compensation related to Mosner’s employment with Deluxe under all other
          agreements and arrangements, including all perquisite programs, shall cease,
and           no further compensation shall be due from or paid by Deluxe to Mosner,
except as           contemplated in this Agreement or as otherwise required by law.  

        4.       2005
Compensation Determinations. The Compensation Committee of the Board           (the
“Committee”) shall authorize the following compensation for           Mosner
for services as CEO during 2005:  

                (a)       Annual
Bonus. Mosner shall participate in the Annual Incentive Plan for           2005, and
shall be entitled to be paid a pro-rated portion of the bonus that he           would
otherwise receive thereunder for the portion of the calendar year 2005 for
          which he served as CEO; provided that, Mosner shall not be eligible to
          defer any portion of this bonus into restricted stock units as set forth in
such           plan. Such bonus payout shall be made in February 2006, at the same time
as           payments under such plan are usually made.  

                (b)       Long-Term
Incentives. Mosner shall participate in the annual Long-Term           Incentive
Program (“LTIP”) for 2005, the awards for which are expected           to be
made at the April 2005 Compensation Committee meeting, and to be awarded           the
following grants: (i) non-qualified options to acquire 8,700 shares of the
          Company’s common stock (having an exercise price equal to the then-current
          market price per share), (ii) 1,800 shares of restricted common stock, and
(iii)           a standard grant of long-term performance award shares, in each case,
subject to           the standard terms and conditions of the Company’s Stock
Incentive Plan and           applicable award agreements for each such grant or award.
The grants set forth           in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 4(b) constitute
one-third of the grants           that the Committee would normally expect to grant to
Mosner in the absence of           his voluntary retirement.  

        5.       Compensation
as Consultant. As compensation for Mosner agreeing to serve           as a consultant
to his successor as CEO, Deluxe shall make the following           payments to and
distributions for the benefit of, Mosner.  

                (a)       Salary.
During the Transition Period, Deluxe shall pay Mosner at the rate           of $500 per
hour of services performed as a consultant.  

                (b)       Expenses.
Deluxe shall reimburse Mosner for all reasonable out-of-pocket           expenses
incurred by him in connection with the performance of his services as a
          consultant during the Transition Period within 30 days following his delivery
of           an accounting of those expenses to Deluxe in accordance with Deluxe’s
          then-current travel and business expense policy.  

                (c)       Recognition
of Qualified or Approved Retirement. Effective as of the           Retirement Date,
the Committee shall recognize Mosner’s retirement as a (i)           “Qualified
Retirement” for purposes of Mr. Mosner’s Restricted           Stock Award
Agreement dated May 4, 2004, his Performance Award Agreement dated           May 4, 2004,
and his Nonqualified Stock Option Agreements dated March 14, 2002,           March 10,
2003 and May 4, 2004, and an “Approved Retirement” under Mr.           Mosner’s
Agreement for Awards Payable in Restricted Stock Units dated           March 2004, and
his Nonqualified Stock Option Agreements dated May 9, 2000 and           January 26,  

3

2001, in all cases, with the
Company, such recognition to include           the grants of stock options, shares of
restricted stock and performance share           awards to be made in April 2005, as set
forth in Section 4(b) hereof.  

                (d)       Medical
Coverage. Effective as of the Retirement Date, Mosner shall be           deemed to be
a “qualified retiree” under all medical plans currently           available to
executive officers of Deluxe. As a “qualified retiree,”          Mosner and his
wife would continue to be covered under all medical plans           currently available
to executive officers of Deluxe for the remainder of his and           his wife’s
lives, subject to any changes in such plans as may be made           generally. Under
current plan terms, costs would be shared by Mosner and Deluxe           in the following
proportions: until he reaches age 65, Mosner would bear 65% of           the insurance
premiums and Deluxe would bear 35%; at and after age 65, Mosner           would bear 25%
and Deluxe would bear 75%.  

                (e)       Taxes
and Withholding. To the extent required by the federal and           applicable state
income tax laws and regulations, Deluxe shall withhold and           deduct from
compensation during the Transition Period all required withholding           and
deductions.  

                (f)       Interpretation.
The existence of any dispute respecting the           interpretation of this Agreement or
the Release, or the alleged breach of this           Agreement or the Release, will not
nullify or otherwise affect Deluxe’s           obligations to recognize Mosner’s
retirement as “Qualified” or           “Approved” pursuant to
Sections 5(c) and 5(d) hereof.  

        6.       Continued
Executive Benefits.  

                (a)       Prior
to Retirement Date. Until the Retirement Date, Mosner shall be           entitled to
such medical, disability, life insurance coverage, vacation, sick           leave,
holiday benefits and any other benefits, in each case as are customarily           made
available to Deluxe’s executive officers, all in accordance with           Deluxe’s
benefits program in effect from time to time.  

                (b)       After
Retirement Date. After the Retirement Date, Mosner shall be           entitled only
to the benefits set forth in Section 4, Section 5(d) and the           second sentence of
Section 3 of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the           parties
acknowledge and agree that Mosner shall not continue to participate,           after the
Retirement Date, in any of the following plans, in each case, as           amended to
date, except with respect to balances of deferred accounts existing           in any such
plan as of the Retirement Date: (i) Amended and Restated 2000           Employee Stock
Repurchase Plan, (ii) Deluxe Corporation Deferred Compensation           Plan (2001
Restatement), (iii) Deluxe Corporation Executive Deferred           Compensation Plan for
Employee Retention and Other Eligible Arrangements, (iv)           Deluxe Corporation
Supplemental Benefit Plan, and (v) any executive perquisite           plan of Deluxe,
other than as set forth in the second sentence of Section 3           hereof.  

                (c)       Death
or Disability. In the event that Mosner dies prior to the           Retirement Date,
his heirs, representatives or his estate shall be entitled to           the compensation
and benefits described in Section 4(a) (using the actual days           for which he
acted as CEO to determine the pro-rated portion described therein),           Section
4(b) and Section 5(d); provided that an authorized representative           enters
into the Release on behalf of such heirs, representatives or estate. In           the
event that Mosner becomes disabled to the degree that he cannot perform his
          normal duties as  

4

Chairman and CEO prior to the
Retirement Date, then he shall be           entitled to the compensation and benefits
described in Sections 4(a) (using the           actual days for which he acted as CEO to
determine the pro-rated portion           described therein), Section 4(b) and Section
5(d); provided that he           enters into the Release, or his authorized
representative enters into the           Release on his behalf.  

        7.       Release.
In consideration of the promises, covenants and other valuable           consideration
provided by Deluxe in this Agreement, Mosner agrees that, for him           to be
entitled to receive the payments and other benefits described in this
          Agreement, he will execute the Release attached hereto as Exhibit A on the
          Retirement Date. Deluxe will also execute the Release on the Retirement Date.  

        8.       Confidential
Information. Mosner will not make any unauthorized use,           publication or
disclosure, either during or after the Transition Period, of any           information
generated or acquired by him during his employment with Deluxe or           during the
performance of his consulting services under this Agreement,           including, but not
limited to, information of a confidential or trade secret           nature (“Confidential
Information”). Confidential Information includes           information not generally
known by or available to the public about or belonging           to Deluxe or belonging
to other persons to whom Deluxe may have an obligation to           maintain information
in confidence. Authorization for disclosure of Confidential           Information may be
obtained only through Deluxe’s General Counsel or           designee. Mosner will
not disclose to Deluxe, or induce Deluxe to use, any           confidential or trade
secret information or material belonging to others.  

        9.       Non-Competition.
During the Transition Period and for a period of five           consecutive years
thereafter, Mosner agrees not to compete with Deluxe in           accordance with the
terms set forth below.  

                (a)                 As
an inducement for Deluxe to enter into the Agreement, during the Transition
          Period and for a period of five years from the end of the Transition Period,
          Mosner will not, directly or indirectly, engage in, acquire, own or hold a
          business anywhere in the United States that competes with the business of
Deluxe           or any subsidiary of Deluxe as conducted prior to the completion of the
          Transition Period (the “Deluxe Restricted Business”), including as a
          proprietor, principal, agent, partner, officer, director, stockholder,
employee,           member of any association, consultant or otherwise.  

                (b)                 The
restrictions set forth in Section 9(a) shall not prohibit the ownership by
          Mosner of up to two percent of the issued and outstanding capital stock of a
          publicly held entity carrying on a Deluxe Restricted Business, so long as
Mosner           does not participate in the control or take an active part in the
management or           direction thereof and does not in any way render services
thereto.  

                (c)                 During
the Transition Period and for a period of five years from the end of the
          Transition Period, except as otherwise agreed to in writing by Deluxe, Mosner
          agrees not to, and shall not cause or permit any of his affiliates to, directly
          or indirectly, (i) solicit for employment, induce or attempt to induce the
          termination of employment of any employee of Deluxe or any of its subsidiaries,
          or materially interfere with the employment relationship between Deluxe or any
          of its subsidiaries and any employee thereof or (ii) induce or attempt to  

5

induce any customer or supplier of
Deluxe to cease doing business with Deluxe,           or materially interfere with the
business relationship between Deluxe and any           customer or supplier thereof. As
used herein, “affiliate” of a person           or entity shall mean any other
person or entity which controls, is controlled           by, or is under common control
with, the initial person or entity.  

                (d)                 The
parties intend that each of the covenants contained in this Section 9
          shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each state of the
          United States and each county of each state of the United States. Except for
          geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in
          terms to the covenant contained in the preceding subsections of this
          Section 9. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce
          any of the separate covenants (or any part thereof) deemed included in those
          subsections, then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be deemed
          eliminated from this Agreement for the purpose of those proceedings to the
          extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions
          thereof) to be enforced. In the event that the provisions of this Section 9
          should ever be deemed to exceed the time or geographic limitations, or the
scope           of this covenant, permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall
be           reformed to the maximum time or geographic limitations, as the case may be,
          permitted by applicable laws. The unenforceability of any covenant in this
          Section 9 shall not preclude the enforcement of any other of said
covenants           or provisions or of any other obligation of Mosner or Deluxe
hereunder, and the           existence of any claim or cause of action of Mosner or
Deluxe against the other,           whether predicated on the Agreement or otherwise,
shall not constitute a defense           to the enforcement by Deluxe of any of said
covenants.  

                (e)                 It
is understood and agreed that damages may be an inadequate remedy in the           event
of a breach or intended or threatened breach by Mosner of any of his           covenants
in this Section 9, and that any such breach may cause Deluxe           irreparable
injury and damage. Accordingly, Mosner agrees that Deluxe shall be           entitled,
without waiving any additional rights or remedies otherwise available           to
Deluxe, to injunctive and other such equitable relief in the event of a           breach
or intended or threatened breach of any of said covenants by Mosner.  

        10.       Return
of Property. Before the end of the Transition Period, Mosner shall           return
all equipment and property in his possession that belongs to Deluxe,           including
all files and programs stored electronically or otherwise that relate           or refer
to Deluxe, and all original and copies of documents, notes, memoranda           or any
other written materials that relate or refer to Deluxe, including           material that
constitutes Confidential Information, other than information or           documents
relating to Mosner’s Deluxe compensation or benefit plans or           programs in
which he participates or participated.  

        11.       Non-Disparagement.
Mosner agrees that he will not, and will use his           reasonable efforts not to
allow anyone acting on his behalf or at his direction           at any time to,
criticize, defame or disparage Deluxe or the Released Parties,           their plans, or
their actions to any third party, either orally or in writing.           Deluxe agrees
that it will not, and it will use its reasonable efforts to cause           the Released
Parties to not, criticize, defame or disparage Mosner, his plans,           or his
actions to any third party, either orally or in writing. The provisions           of this
Section 13 shall not apply to any truthful statement(s) required to be           made by
Mosner, by any Released Party 

6

or by any representative of Mosner
or a           Released Party in any legal proceeding or governmental (including all
agencies           thereof) or regulatory filing, investigation or proceeding.  

        12.       Deluxe’s
Default in Payment. Should Deluxe default in timely payment           on the due date
of any payment or amount due under this Agreement, Mosner shall           give written
notice of such default to the person specified in or pursuant to           this Agreement
to receive notice on behalf of Deluxe. Deluxe shall have ten           calendar days
after the receipt of such a notice of default to cure any payment           default.  

        13.       Breach
of this Agreement. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines           that
either party has breached or failed to perform any part of this Agreement,           the
parties agree that the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive
          relief to enforce this Agreement and that the breaching party shall be
          responsible for paying the non-breaching party’s costs and attorneys’          fees
incurred in enforcing this Agreement.  

        14.       Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of           competent jurisdiction
to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining           provisions shall
nevertheless continue in full force and effect.  

        15.       Ambiguities
in this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that this           Agreement has been
drafted, prepared, negotiated and agreed to jointly, with           advice of each party’s
respective counsel, and to the extent that any           ambiguity should appear, now or
at any time in the future, latent or apparent,           such ambiguity shall not be
resolved or construed against either party.  

        16.       Notices.
All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in           writing. Any notice
or other communication hereunder shall be deemed duly given           if it is sent by

        This
Release (“Release”) is entered into as of __________, 2005, by and between

        WHEREAS,
this Release is executed pursuant to Section 11 of the Transition Agreement dated as of
March __, 2005, by and between Deluxe and Mosner (the “Transition Agreement”). 

        1.       Mosner’s Release.
In consideration of the promises, covenants and           other valuable consideration
provided by Deluxe in the Transition Agreement and           in this Release, Mosner
hereby unconditionally releases and discharges Deluxe           and its affiliates, and
their current and former employees, officers, agents,           directors, and
shareholders (collectively referred to as “Released           Parties”) from
any and all claims, causes of action, losses, obligations,           liabilities,
damages, judgments, costs, expenses (including attorneys’          fees) of any
nature whatsoever, known or unknown, contingent or non-contingent
          (collectively, “Claims”), that Mosner had or has as of the date of
          this Release arising (i) out of Mosner’s hiring, employment, or retirement
          with Deluxe and (ii) under any federal or state law, including, but not limited
          to, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, 42 U.S.C. §§          1981-1988,

to any claims           Mosner may have for salary, wages, severance pay, vacation pay,

payment or benefits under           any employment agreement, benefit plan or severance
arrangement maintained or           previously or subsequently maintained by Deluxe or
any of the Released Parties           or any of its respective predecessors or
successors, except that he does not           release any rights he has under the
Transition Agreement. Mosner also does not           release his right to enforce the
terms of this Release or the Transition           Agreement or his right to
indemnification and advancement of expenses under any           agreement he has entered
into with Deluxe, under Deluxe’s charter or           by-laws or under any insurance
policy maintained by Deluxe that is applicable to           its current or former
directors and officers, or under any applicable law           relating to officers,
directors or employees.  

 

        2.       Deluxe’s
Release. Deluxe on its own behalf and on behalf of its           corporate affiliates
hereby unconditionally releases and discharges Mosner from           any and all Claims
that they had or have as of the date of this Release, except           to the extent that
such Claims arise from intentional wrongdoing or any           violations of law by
Mosner. However, Deluxe does not release its right to           enforce the terms of this
Release or the Transition Agreement.  

        3.       No
Claims Against Released Parties. Mosner warrants and represents that,           to
the full extent permitted by law, he will not bring against Deluxe or any of
          the Released Parties any claim or lawsuit seeking monetary damages that is
          related to any matters released by Mosner under Section 1 of this Release.
          Mosner agrees that if he brings or asserts any such action or lawsuit, he shall
          pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred
          by Deluxe or the Released Parties in dismissing or defending the action or
          lawsuit. Nothing in this provision, however, shall be interpreted to prevent
          Mosner from bringing a claim or lawsuit to enforce the terms of this Release or
          the Transition Agreement. This Section 3 shall not apply to any claims Mosner
          may have asserting rights under the Older Worker Benefit Protection Act.  

        4.       Rescission.
Mosner has been informed of his right to revoke this Release           insofar as it
extends to potential claims under the Age Discrimination in           Employment Act by
informing Deluxe of his intent to revoke this Agreement within           seven (7)
calendar days following the Execution Date. Mosner has likewise been           informed
of his right to rescind this Release insofar as it relates to potential           claims
under the Minnesota Human Rights Act by written notice to Deluxe within           fifteen
(15) calendar days following the Execution Date. Mosner has further been
          informed and understands that any such rescission must be in writing and
          hand-delivered to Deluxe or, if sent by mail, postmarked within the applicable
          time period, sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, and addressed as
          follows:

Senior Vice President, Human Resources

Deluxe Corporation

Mosner and Deluxe agree that if
Mosner exercises this right of rescission, this Release shall be null and void and Mosner
shall return to Deluxe any consideration paid or benefit provided pursuant to the
Transition Agreement or this Release contemporaneously with the delivery of rescission
notice. Mosner specifically understands and agrees that any attempt by him to revoke this
Release after the specified period for rescission has expired is, or will be, ineffective. 

        5.       No
Claims Against Mosner. Deluxe warrants and represents that it will not
          bring any claim or lawsuit against Mosner related to any matters released by
          Deluxe under Section 2 of this Release. Deluxe agrees that if it brings or
          asserts any such action or lawsuit, it shall pay all costs and expenses,
          including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Mosner in dismissing or
          defending the action or lawsuit. Nothing in this provision, however, shall be
          interpreted to prevent Deluxe from bringing a claim or lawsuit to enforce the
          terms of this Release or the Transition Agreement.

        6.       Breach
of this Release. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines           that
either party has breached or failed to perform any part of this Release,           the
parties agree that the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive
          relief to enforce this Release and that the breaching party shall be
responsible           for paying the non-breaching party’s costs and attorneys’ fees
          incurred in enforcing this Release.  

        7.       Severability.
If any provision of this Release is held by a court of           competent jurisdiction
to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining           provisions shall
nevertheless continue in full force and effect.  

        8.       Ambiguities
in this Release. The parties acknowledge that this Release           has been
drafted, prepared, negotiated and agreed to jointly, with advice of           each party’s
respective counsel, and to the extent that any ambiguity           should appear, now or
at any time in the future, latent or apparent, such           ambiguity shall not be
resolved or construed against either party.  

        9.       Opportunity
to Review. Mosner has read this Release and agrees to the           conditions and
obligations set forth. Further, Mosner agrees that he has had           adequate time to
consider the terms of this Release, that he is voluntarily           entering into this
Release with full understanding of its meaning, and that he           has in fact
consulted with his attorneys for advice in connection with this           Release.

          the Released Parties or any portion thereof or interest therein. Deluxe
          represents and warrants on its own behalf and on behalf of its corporate

          any Claim involving Mosner or any portion thereof or interest therein.
