DELUXE CHECK PRINTERS, INCORPORATED
SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFIT PLAN
(ERISA EXCESS PLAN)

WHEREAS, the Company maintains an Employees Profit Sharing Plan which is
qualified for certain tax benefits under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue
Code, and

WHEREAS, the Company's contributions to the Plan are allocated among the
Participants under a formula which is based on compensation, and

WHEREAS, the Plan, in order to retain its qualified status, prohibits annual
additions to individual accounts based on compensation in excess of certain
amounts prescribed in the Internal Revenue Code, and accordingly, the amount of
the Company's contribution is reduced by the amount which is not so allocable,
and some Participants do not receive the full amount allocable under the
formula,

RESOLVED, that with respect to Participants who are officers, an amount equal to
the reduction of the Company's contribution by reason of the foregoing be
credited to bookkeeping accounts established and maintained for such
Participants in the same manner as accounts are maintained under the Deferred
Compensation Plan, and that all the administrative provisions of such Plan,
including those related to interest accrual, payments, beneficiary designation
and vesting, be equally applicable to amounts credited under this Plan.
