property of VBI, including, without limitation, all copyrights,
trademarks, patents, trade secrets and any other proprietary rights.
 Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to grant Deluxe any
ownership right in, or license to, the VBI Materials, except as
provided herein.  VBI hereby grants to Deluxe a non-exclusive,
worldwide, royalty-free license for the Term of this Agreement to
edit, modify, adapt, translate, exhibit, publish, transmit,
participate in the transfer of, reproduce, create derivative works
from, distribute, perform, display and otherwise use the VBI
Materials as necessary to render the Fulfillment Services to VBI
under this Agreement.

            15.2 Proprietary Rights of Deluxe.  Subject to VBIAEs
ownership interest in the VBI Materials and the content, data and
information relating directly thereto as further provided in Section
15.1 above, the System and all materials, including but not limited
to, any computer software (in object code and source code form),
script, programming code, data, information, content and materials,
developed or provided by Deluxe or its suppliers under this
Agreement (with the exception of original elements of audiovisual
displays created hereunder specifically for VBI, which shall be
deemed to be part of the VBI Materials), and any trade secrets,
know-how, methodologies and processes related to DeluxeAEs products
or services, shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Deluxe
or its suppliers, including, without limitation, all copyrights,
trademarks, patents, trade secrets, and any other proprietary rights
inherent therein and appurtenant thereto (collectively oDeluxe
Materialsoe).  To the extent, if any, that ownership of the Deluxe
Materials does not automatically vest in Deluxe by virtue of this
Agreement or otherwise, VBI hereby transfers and assigns to Deluxe
all rights, title and interest which VBI may have in and to the
Deluxe Materials.  VBI acknowledges and agrees that Deluxe is in the
business of developing on-line inventory management systems and
designing and hosting web sites, and that Deluxe shall have the
right to provide to third parties services which are the same or
similar to the Fulfillment Services, and to use or otherwise exploit
any Deluxe Materials in providing such services.  VBI agrees not to
alter or obscure any Deluxe proprietary markings on the Deluxe
Materials.  Deluxe hereby grants to VBI a limited, non-exclusive,
non-transferable license solely for the Term of this Agreement for
VBI or the entity it retains to provide the hosting services for the
Web Site (oHosting Servicesoe) to make use of Deluxe Materials which
are required for the operation of the Web Site and to conduct the
Hosting Services.  Deluxe hereby reserves for itself all rights in
and to the Deluxe Materials not expressly granted to VBI in the
immediately foregoing sentence.  In no event shall VBI use any
trademarks or service marks of Deluxe without DeluxeAEs prior
written consent.  Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Deluxe,
the transfer or attempted transfer of the System to any unauthorized
host server shall automatically terminate the foregoing license.

      16. Exclusivity.  During the entire Term of this Agreement,
VBI hereby agrees to use Deluxe exclusively for all of VBIAEs
requirements for Fulfillment Services in the United States and
Canada.  In the event VBI shall acquire control of an entity
subsequent to the date of this Agreement, that entity shall be bound
by this section except (i) to the extent the entity is bound by a
bona fide agreement with a third party to perform some or all of the
Fulfillment Services (a oThird Party Agreementoe), or (ii) the
entity owns or controls a facility at which some or all of the
Fulfillment Services are performed, then until such time as the
operations of such facility cease, which in no event shall exceed
one (1) year.  The entity may comply with the terms of a Third Party
Agreement (with respect to the covered Fulfillment Services only)
until the earlier of the expiration of any current mandatory term of
the agreement or the date that such agreement can be validly
terminated without penalty, provided that within thirty (30) days
after the acquisition of such entity, VBI so notifies Deluxe of the
Third Party Agreement and the expiration date thereof.

      17. Term.  The term of this Agreement (the oTermoe) shall
commence on the Effective Date, and shall terminate on the third
(3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date, unless terminated earlier
under Section 18 of this Agreement.  Upon termination of this
Agreement for any reason, Deluxe shall promptly return to VBI all
materials, elements or other VBI property.

to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date as follows:

            (a) either party may terminate this Agreement by
providing notice to the other party of termination if the other
party is in material breach of any of its covenants or obligations
under this Agreement and such other party has not rectified the
breach within thirty (30) days of having received notice of the
breach from the terminating party (or as regards matters that cannot
reasonably be cured within such period, where reasonable steps to
correct or cure such failure have not been commenced in a timely
manner within such thirty (30) day period), provided that such cure
period shall be reduced to ten (10) business days after receipt of
the foregoing written notice of breach in the event that the breach
was the result of a failure to pay amounts due on a timely basis;

            (b) either party may terminate this Agreement by
providing notice of termination to the other party if the other
party files a petition in bankruptcy or is adjudicated a bankrupt or
has an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding instituted against it
(which proceeding is not dismissed within ninety (90) days), is
insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or takes
advantage of or is subject to any insolvency law or if a receiver is
appointed in respect of the other partyAEs business (unless such
receiver is removed within ninety (90) days from the date of its
appointment);

            (c) either party may terminate this Agreement if (i)
there is any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer of fifty
percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting or equity securities
of the other party, or (ii) if either party sells substantially all
of its assets to an unrelated third party, or (iii) if VBI sells or
licenses the right to select the provider of fulfillment services;

            (d) Deluxe may terminate this Agreement if any of the
Deluxe Agreements is terminated for any reason whatsoever, or in the
event of a default by VBI under any of the Deluxe Agreements or the
inventory security agreement to be entered into among VBI, Deluxe,
Deluxe Media Services, Inc. and Deluxe Toronto Ltd., after the
expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods; and/or

            (e) Either party may terminate this Agreement upon sixty
(60) days prior written notice of such termination to the other
party.   No such termination by Company shall be effective until all
amounts payable by Company to Deluxe pursuant to this Agreement have
been paid in full by Company.

      19. Enforcement.

            19.1 Claims.  Neither party shall be responsible for any
act, default or negligence on the part of the other party.  Deluxe
shall not be responsible for any defect due to defects in the
materials provided or approved by VBI or damage in transit by a
common carrier.  In no event shall either party be entitled to
assert any claim more than one (1) year after the date of shipment
of a defective product or the incident precipitating such claim.

            19.2 Disclaimer; Limitation of Liability.  DELUXE HEREBY
DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND LIABILITIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, ORAL OR IN WRITING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTIES AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTIES PROVIDED IN SECTION 14.2
HEREOF.  UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER SHALL DELUXE OR ANY OF
ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE TO VBI OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY SPECIAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF

ACTS, OMISSIONS, NEGLIGENCE OR BREACH OF DUTY (CONTRACTUAL OR
OTHERWISE) OF THE EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR SUBCONTRACTORS OF DELUXE.
DELUXE SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO, OR
ALTERATION, THEFT OR DESTRUCTION OF, THE WEB SITE, THE SYSTEM OR
VBIAES MATERIALS, DATA FILES, PROGRAMS OR INFORMATION THROUGH
ACCIDENT, FRAUDULENT MEANS OR DEVICES.  THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF
DELUXE TO VBI FOR ANY REASON AND UPON ANY AND ALL CAUSES OF ACTION
ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE WEB SITE OR THE SYSTEM SHALL NOT
EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY VBI TO DELUXE FOR THE SERVICES TO BE
PROVIDED BY DELUXE TO VBI PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT.

            19.3 Remedies Cumulative.  None of the rights, powers or
remedies conferred upon any party shall be mutually exclusive, and
each such right, power or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition
