ABOUT
THIS SUMMARY
This booklet is a summary of the eFunds Corporation 401(k) Employees' Savings
Plan. It describes the general operation of the Plan and outlines your rights
and obligations under the Plan. It is, however, only a summary. It does
not describe every Plan feature, nor is it used to administer the Plan.
The Plan's official terms are
in the Plan document entitled "eFunds Corporation 401(k) Employees'
Savings Plan." The plan administrator will only use the official
Plan document to administer the Plan and resolve any disputes. If there
is a discrepancy between this Summary and the Plan document, the Plan
document will control. A summary cannot give all the details, and the
details may affect your benefits. You must read the Plan document to gain
a
complete understanding of the Plan. If you have questions about the Plan,
you should contact the Human Resources Department.

INTRODUCTION
(back to top)
We all look forward to the day we can retire. We plan to take trips, have
more time for hobbies, or pursue our dreams. The eFunds Corporation 401(k)
Employees' Savings Plan can help you achieve your retirement goals. The
Plan allows you to contribute a portion of your pay to an employee savings
account. The Plan also allows your Employer to make matching contributions.
You choose how to invest your contributions and the matching contributions.
The following is a list of some terms used in this Summary:
- Accounts. Your contributions,
your employer contributions, and other contributions (such as rollover
contributions) are held in separate accounts within your account.
- Committee. The group
of people who administer the Plan, unless the Employer has appointed
someone else to administer the Plan.
- Employer.
The "Employer" is eFunds Corporation or any affiliate company
of Corporation that is a participating employer in the plan.
- Employer Contributions.
The Employer will make matching contributions toward your retirement
savings.
- Participant. You
become a participant in the Plan once you satisfy the Plan's eligibility
requirements. Vested. "Vested" refers to how much of the balance
in your accounts that you own. For example, you own, or are "100%
vested," in your contributions at all times.
- Year. The term "year"
generally refers to a "Plan Year." A "Plan Year"
is the 12-month calendar year.
Did you know? The summary uses
a number of terms, such as "pay" and "year" in the
place of more formal terms ("Eligible Pay" and "Plan Year")
defined in the Plan document. We do this to make the Summary easier to
read. The Plan document's defined terms, however, not the Summary's terms,
are used to administer the Plan.
|
WHY
CONTRIBUTE TO THE PLAN? (back
to top)
The amounts you contribute to the plan are not subject to federal or state
income tax at the time you make the contributions. Your contributions are
not taxed until you withdraw them, so your contributions are able to accumulate
tax-deferred until you withdraw them.
Example
Suppose you decide to receive $1,000 in pay rather than contribute it
to the Plan. Also suppose you pay income tax at the 28% federal income
tax rate and at a 5% state income tax rate. You will pay $330 of the $1,000
in income taxes. After deducting social security and Medicare taxes, your
net take home pay would be approximately $593. In contrast, if you contribute
the $1,000 to the Plan, only the social security and Medicare taxes are
withheld. You will contribute $923 to your retirement savings. In addition
to the advantages of pre-tax contributions and tax-deferred growth, you
will be eligible to receive matching contributions. See the section on
contributions for more details.

ELIGIBILITY
(back
to top)
Eligibility for New Employees
To become a participant you must be employed by eFunds (or an affiliate
of eFunds who has adopted the Plan) in Recognized Employment and be a
regular part-time or full-time employee (i.e., regularly scheduled to
work 1,000 hours a year (specifically, "Hours of Service")).
If you satisfy these requirements, you can begin contributing to the Plan
immediately following your entry into Recognized Employment. (Note: Your
payroll deductions will commence as of the first payroll period after
your enrollment is processed.) If you are not regularly scheduled to work
at least 1,000 hours a
year, you become eligible to make contributions after you complete at
least one year of Eligibility Service (if you are then in Recognized Employment).
Eligibility for Rehired
Employees
If you were previously a participant, you can enroll in the Plan again
immediately after you are rehired and are in Recognized Employment.
Examples:
| Example:
Alice starts full-time work in Recognized Employment on August 6,
2001 and is immediately eligible to make contributions and share in
matching contributions. The Employer will begin deducting contributions
from her paycheck as of the first payroll period after her enrollment
is processed. |
| Example:
Harry starts work part-time on July 9, 2001 in a position that is
not regularly scheduled to work 1,000 hours annually. However, from
July 9, 2001 through July 8, 2002, he actually works 1,000 hours and
completes a year of Eligibility Service. He then becomes a participant
eligible to make contributions and to share in matching contributions. |
Hour of Service
In general, an "Hour of Service" means any hour for which the
Employer pays you.
Eligibility Service
In general, a year of "Eligibility Service" means a year in
which you work at least 1,000 hours (specifically, "Hours of Service").
Recognized Employment
The term "Recognized Employment" is defined in the Plan. In
general, "Recognized Employment" means all persons classified
by the Employer for personnel and payroll purposes as employees excluding,
however, service classified by the Employer as:
- employment under a collective
bargaining agreement unless that agreement expressly provides for the
employee's coverage;
- employment as a nonresident
alien;
- employment in an Employer
division or facility not in existence on January 1, 2001, unless the
Committee designates such employees as eligible;
- employment as a United States
citizen or a United States resident alien outside the United States
unless the Committee designates such employees as eligible;
- service as a leased employee,
leased owner, leased manager, shared employee, shared leased employee,
temporary worker, independent contractor, contract worker, agency worker,
freelance worker, or other similar classification; and
- employment to the extent
agreed in writing by the employee.
The Employer's classification
of you at the time of inclusion or exclusion in Recognized Employment
is conclusive. Any uncertainty regarding your classification will be resolved
by excluding you from Recognized Employment. See the Plan for details.

YOUR
CONTRIBUTIONS AND YOUR EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS
(back to top)
Your Contributions
How to Enroll or Change
Your Election
You will elect to particpiate
or waive participation when making your benefit elections via the electronic
system. Once you have initialliy enrolled, you may change or terminate
your "pre-tax" contributions by logging on to NetBenefits at
www.401k.com or by calling the Fidelity Retirement Benefits Line at 1-800-890-4015.
Your contribution is stated as a percentage of your pay. Effective November
1, 2002, if you earned eligible pay less than $85,000 during 2001, you
may contribute up to 15% of your pay. If you earned eligible pay of $85,000
or more during 2001, you may contribute up to 10%
of your pay. These earnings limits change from time to time. The Employer
will begin deducting your contributions as of the first payroll period
after your enrollment is processed. You may change your contribution percentage
or terminate your enrollment as of any subsequent payroll period. If you
terminate your enrollment, you may begin contributing again as of any
subsequent payroll period.
Catch-Up Contributions
Beginning in 2002, employees
who are 50 (or older) or who will turn 50 in 2002 will be able to contribute
an additional $1,000 pre-tax into their 401(k) during 2002. This catch-up
contribution will be tracked separately and will not be matched by the
Employer. You should go to www.401k.com to elect the amount of your catch-up
contribution, and it is stated as a percentage of pay (from 1% to 10%).
In order for your catch-up contributions to be properly applied, you must
either contribute the maximum deferral allowed under the plan, or meet
the IRS limit as described below. The maximum amount of the catch-up contribution
is adjusted from time to time by the IRS.
Limits
Federal law has an annual limit
(adjusted for cost of living) on the amount that you may contribute each
year. The adjusted limit for 2002 is $11,000. This limit is reduced by
the amount of any similar contributions you made to another employer's
retirement plan.
Eligible Pay In general, "Eligible Pay" means all wages, salary,
and other compensation (before income and social security withholding
taxes) the Employer pays you. Eligible Pay includes the amounts that would
have been paid to you if you had not enrolled in the Plan. Eligible Pay
also generally includes "pre-tax" contributions to any other
Employer retirement or "cafeteria" employee benefit plans. Eligible
Pay does not include (1) reimbursements or other expense allowances, (2)
third-party sick pay, income imputed from insurance coverage and premiums
and employee discounts (including discounts on stock purchases), (3) payments
for vacation or sick leave accrued but not taken, (4) moving expenses,
and (5) deferred compensation. Pay in excess of $200,000 (as adjusted
from time to time) is also excluded from Eligible Pay. See the Plan for
details.
Matching Contributions
The Employer will make a matching
contribution to the Plan each payroll period. The matching contribution
will be based on the amount of your contributions. The matching contribution
will be an amount equal to 100% of the first 5% of eligible pay you contribute
for each eligible pay period. In other words, your Employer will match
$1 for each $1 you contribute up to 5% of eligible pay. All matching contributions
from your Employer are credited to your employer matching account.
Profit Sharing Contributions The Employer may also make "profit sharing"
contributions to the Plan in an amount determined by eFunds. The Employer
is not required to make a profit sharing contribution. Generally, the
amount of contribution, if any, will depend on the profitability of the
Employer in a given year. Your share will be the proportion that your
eligible pay bears to the eligible pay of all qualifying participants.
Eligibility for Profit
Sharing Contributions
To be eligible to receive a
profit sharing contribution you must:
- be a participant during
the year,
- make contributions totaling
at least 3% of eligible pay for the year; and
- be an employee on the last
day of the year (that is, on December 31)
However, if you die, become
disabled, or retire at or after age 65 during the year, this last requirement
will not apply. The profit sharing contribution will be allocated to your
employer profit sharing account. Examples:
| Example: Sarah
enrolls to make employee contributions to the Plan on July 1, 2001.
Assume the Employer determines that it will make a profit sharing
contribution for 2001 on behalf of qualifying participants equal to
1% of eligible pay. If Sarah contributes 3% of her eligible pay for
2001 and is employed on the last day of the year, her share of the
profit sharing contribution will be 1% of her eligible pay for the
period beginning July 1, 2001, and ending December 31, 2001. If Sarah
fails to make contributions totaling 3% of her eligible pay for 2001,
she will not share in any profit sharing contribution for that year. |
| Example: Bob, a
participant in the Plan, makes contributions totaling 3% of his eligible
pay for 2001. If the Employer makes a profit sharing contribution
for2001, Bob will share in the contribution if he is employed on the
last day of the year. (If, however, his employment had ended during
the year because of death, disability or retirement at or after age
65, he would have been entitled to share in the profit sharing contribution
on the basis of his eligible pay earned during the year prior to termination.) |
Rollover Contributions
If you are a participant and have received an eligible rollover distribution
from another tax-qualified retirement plan, you may, under certain conditions,
contribute (that is, "roll over") such distribution to the Plan's
trust fund. Your rollover contribution will be credited to a separate
rollover account, which is 100% vested.
Special Rules for Contributions
Benefit Limitations Required by Law. Under federal law, the maximum
"annual addition" to your account for any Plan Year cannot exceed
the lesser of 25% of your compensation or $35,000. "Annual addition"
includes all your contributions, your employer contributions, and forfeitures
credited to your accounts for the year. Special limits apply if you were
a participant in another retirement plan for the same year.
Federal law also has an annual
limit (adjusted for cost of living) on the amount of pay that may be considered
for Plan purposes. The adjusted limit for 2002 is $200,000. If you exceed
the annual limit for employee savings contributions, federal law permits
you to request that any excess contribution be returned. Such a request
must be filed with the Committee by March 1 of the following calendar
year. Also, the Plan must meet a "deferral percentage" test
under federal law. If this test is not met, some participants may be required
to decrease the amount of employee savings contributions made to the Plan
or have a portion of those contributions returned. If you are affected
by this test, the Committee will contact you. In addition, the Plan must
meet a "contribution percentage" test under federal law. If
this test is not met, some employer contributions may be paid to certain
participants. If you are affected by this test, the Committee will contact
you.
Note: Any contributions returned
will be adjusted for investment earnings or losses.
Top Heavy Provisions.
If the Plan becomes "top heavy" as defined by federal tax laws,
certain changes will become effective (such as different contribution
rules and faster vesting). If that occurs and you are affected, you will
be informed.
|
|
INVESTMENT
OF ACCOUNTS (back
to top)
You have the opportunity to invest your contributions and your employer
contributions in several investment subfunds with particular financial
goals. The Committee will supply information describing the subfunds and
forms to make your investment selections.
Each participant will have
separate accounts for bookkeeping purposes. For investment purposes, however,
all accounts will be combined in a single trust fund. The Trustee will
invest the trust fund into subfunds as directed by the Plan's participants.
All accounts will be adjusted at least once a year to show their proportionate
share of any gains or losses of the total trust fund. This means that
the value of accounts at any time will depend both on the amount of contributions
and on the investment performance of the trust fund. Administrative and
investment expenses may be paid out of the trust fund.
The Plan is intended to constitute
a plan described in § 404(c) of ERISA and Title 29 of the Code of
Federal Regulations section 2550.404c-1. As a result, the trust fund has
been divided into several investment subfunds with particular financial
goals that you must choose among for the investment of your Accounts.
You or your beneficiary, and not any plan fiduciary, will be responsible
for any investment losses that result from your or your beneficiary's
investment selections. As a participant or beneficiary, you will be given:
- a general description of
the invstment objectives and risk and return characteristics of each
subfund including information relating to the type and diversification
of assets comprimising the subfund;
- information identifying
the investment manager of each subfund;
- an explanation of how you
or your beneficiary may give investment instructions and the limitations
on the investment instructions that you or your beneficiary may give;
- an explanation of any transaction
fees and expenses which affect your account balances in connection with
purchases or sales of investments (e.g., commissions, sales loads, deferred
sales charges, redemption or exchange fees); and
- the name, address and phone
number of the plan administrator (and any person designated to act on
behalf of the plan administrator) responsible for providing additional
information, which the Plan is required to furnish on request.
Upon request to the plan administrator,
the following additional information will be provided to you or your beneficiary
about the subfunds:
a description of the annual operating expenses of each subfund (e.g.,
investment management fees, administrative fees, transaction costs) which
reduces your rate of return;
copies of any prospectuses, financial statements and reports, and of any
other materials relating to the subfunds to the extent such information
is provided to the Plan;
a list of the assets comprising the portfolio of each investment subfund;
information concerning the current value of the subfunds as well as their
past and current investment performance; and
information concerning the value of the shares or units of the subfunds
held in your accounts.
Individually Directed InvestmentAccounts
The Committee may (but is not required to) allow you to create an individually
directed investment account. If you create an individually directed investment
account, you become responsible for the investments that are made for
your account. The Trustee is completely relieved of any responsibility
for making investments or counseling you regarding investments that you
choose to make or choose not to make. When you have directed the Trustee
to create a separate, individual investment account for you, the Trustee
becomes merely a custodian of Plan assets belonging to your account.
To create and maintain a separate
investment account, you must do two things. First, you must sign an authorization
form. The form directs the Trustee to accept investment instructions from
you or from an agent designated by you. Second, you must follow the investment
transaction instructions furnished by the Trustee. Unless you direct the
Trustee to create such an account, your account will be invested according
to your most recent election on file as to particular investment subfunds.
If you choose to direct the
investment of your own account, you will be charged some special fees.
Because of these special fees, it may be unwise for individuals with smaller
accounts to direct the investment of their accounts.
If you have any questions concerning
the above information, please contact the Committee.

VESTING
(back
to top)
Importance of Vesting
When your employment ends for any reason, the Plan's vesting rules determine
whether you will have the right to receive any portion of your employer
matching account and your profit sharing account (that is, whether you
are vested). The portion that is not vested will be lost as a "forfeiture".
Note: A transfer from Recognized Employment to other employment with the
Employer or an affiliate (including a foreign affiliate) is not considered
a termination of employment.
Employee Savings Account
Your employee savings account is fully (100%) vested immediately. You
will not lose any employee savings contributions if you leave employment.
Automatic Full Vesting
If, while still an employee, you reach "normal retirement age"
(which is age 65), die or become disabled, you are automatically fully
vested in your entire employer matching account and your profit sharing
account. In general, "disabled" means totally and permanently
disabled as determined by an approved medical doctor. Proof of disability
for federal social security purposes may be acceptable in some cases.
Special Rules for Former
Deluxe Plan Participants
The following special vesting rules apply to former participants in Deluxe
Corporation's retirement plans who have account balances under this Plan
that were transferred from Deluxe Corporation's plans. If you were formerly
a participant in the Deluxe Corporation 401(k) Plan with three (3) or
more years of vesting service under that plan as of January 1, 2001, you
will be fully vested in your entire employer matching account as of the
date your account balance from the Deluxe plan is transferred to this
Plan. If you were formerly a participant in the Deluxe Corporation Profit
Sharing Plan or the Deluxe Corporation Defined Contribution Pension Plan
with three (3) or more years of vesting service under either of these
plans as of January 1, 2001, you will
be fully vested in your entire profit sharing account as of the date your
account balance from either of the Deluxe plans is transferred to this
Plan.
Vesting Based on Service
If your employment ends for any other reason, your years of Vesting Service
will determine your vesting:
| When You Have Completed
These Years of Vesting Service: |
The Vested Portion of
Your Employer Matching Account and Employer Profit Sharing Account
Will Be |
| Less than 1 year |
0%
|
| 1 year |
34%
|
| 2 years |
67%
|
| 3 years or
more |
100%
|
Years of "Vesting Service" are the number of years you have
been employed by the Employer (including employment before establishment
of the Plan). Service in both Recognized Employment and non- Recognized
Employment is counted.
Example
On January 1, 2001, Tom starts work with the Employer in a job classification
that is not Recognized Employment. On January 1, 2005, Tom transfers
to a fulltime position that qualifies as Recognized Employment and
is immediately eligible to Participate in the
Plan. When he begins participating in the Plan on January 1, 2005,
Tom will have 4 years of Vesting Service because his prior service
with the Employer or any affiliate counts toward his Vesting Service.
As a result, he will be fully (100%) vested in any employer matching
or profit sharing contributions that he receives. |
Forfeiture If Not Vested
Any portion of your employer matching account and your profit sharing
account that is not vested when your employment ends will be forfeited
unless you return to employment before a specified time. The forfeited
amount will be used to reduce future employer contributions.
Rehire After Termination of Employment
Effect on Present Accounts. If your employment ends and you are
rehired later, your rights to the nonvested portion of your Employer atching
Account and your 401(k) Profit Sharing Account accumulated before your
employment ended will differ based on whether you do or do not have a
period of severance of five years.
Return
Within Five Years. If you return before you have had a period
of severance of five years, the nonvested portion of your employer
matching account and your profit sharing account be restored. If you
received any payment from the Plan after your
employment ended, however, you must pay back that payment before the
nonvested portion of your employer matching account and your profit
sharing account will be restored. If the nonvested portion of your
employer matching account and your profit sharing
account is restored, you will then have the opportunity to become
further vested. |
|
Return After Five
Years. If you return after you have had a period of severance
of five years, the nonvested portion of your employer matching account
and your profit sharing account will have been permanently forfeited
and you will never have an opportunity to
restore it.
|
Future Vesting
Years of Vesting Service earned
both before and after your rehire will be used to determine your vesting
in any employer contributions which are credited to your employer matching
account and your profit sharing account after you again become a participant.
If, however, you do
not have any vested account at the time you incur a one-year period of severance,
your prior Vesting Service will be disregarded if you incur a period of
severance equal to the greater of five years or the length of your prior
Vesting Service. |
|
PAYMENT
(back
to top)
In General
Application Required
Payment of your vested accounts
can be made when you terminate employment. To receive payment, you (or
your beneficiary) must apply for payment.
Time of Payment
Payment of your vested accounts
will be made as soon as administratively practicable following receipt
and processing of your application for payment by the Trustee. Payment
amounts are based on the value of your accounts as of the date the investments
in your accounts are sold. Actual payment may be made several days after
the investments in your accounts have been sold.
Automatic Payment If
$5,000 or Less
If the balance of your accounts
is $5,000 or less, a lump sum payment will be made to you or your beneficiary
after your employment ends, whether or not you apply for payment.
Taxes
Payments are subject to income
tax. If you take payment, federal income tax will be withheld unless you
elect to directly roll your payment to either an IRA or another qualified
plan. If you receive a payment before attaining age 59-1/2, you may be
subject to a 10% penalty tax. We recommend that you or your beneficiary
consult with a qualified tax adviser before requesting payment.
Minority, Incapacity,
or Legal Disability
Special rules apply if the
participant, beneficiary, or alternate payee entitled to a distribution
is a minor, incapacitated, or under a legal disability. Contact the Committee
for details.
Transfer of Employment
In the event that you transfer
from Recognized Employment to employment with the Employer that is non-Recognized
Employment or transfer to an affiliate that is not a participating Employer
under the Plan (including any foreign affiliate), such transfer will not
entitle
you to take a distribution from your account.
Payment to
You
Form of Payment. Except as provided below, payment will
be made in a lump sum. Note: If you are a former participant in the Deluxe
Corporation Defined Contribution Pension Plan and you have a Deluxe Defined
Contribution Pension Account under this Plan, payment from that account
will be made in a lump sum or by the purchase and distribution of an annuity
contract from an insurance company. These rules apply:
| Account
More Than $5,000 and Married. If the balance of your vested accounts
exceed $5,000 and you are married at the time of payment, your entire
Deluxe Defined Contribution Pension Account will be used to buy a
qualified joint and survivor annuity contract for you and your spouse.
The contract will provide an immediate monthly income to you for life.
Following your death, the contract will provide 50% of that monthly
income to your spouse for life. "Spouse" means the person
to whom you are married on the payment date. Any later change in marital
status will be disregarded. This annuity contract will not have any
other death benefits. Exception: You may reject payment by annuity
contract and receive payment in a lump sum. Your rejection must be
in writing and must be made within the 90-day period prior to the
payment date. Also, your spouse must consent, in writing, to such
a rejection. To be valid, your spouse's consent must acknowledge the
effect of the rejection, must be witnessed by a notary public, and
must be given within the 90-day period prior (but in no event less
than 7 days prior) to the payment date. You can change back to the
qualified joint and survivor annuity contract without further consent
of your spouse. |
| Account
More Than $5,000 and Not Married. If the balance of your vested
accounts exceeds $5,000 and you are not married on the payment date,
your entire Deluxe Defined Contribution Pension Account will be used
to buy an annuity contract for you. The contract will provide an immediate
monthly income to you for life. This annuity contract will not have
any death benefits. Exception: You may reject payment by annuity contract
and receive payment in a lump sum. Your rejection must be in writing
and must be made within the 90- day period prior (but in no event
less than 7 days prior) to the payment date. |
Automatic Payment at
Required Beginning Date
If you have not applied for
distribution of your accounts prior to the later of your "required
beginning date," you will automatically receive minimum required
payments from your accounts beginning no later than your required beginning
date and each December 31 thereafter. If you are not a 5% owner of eFunds
(as defined under federal tax laws), your "required beginning date"
is the later of: (i) the April 1 following the calendar year in which
you attain age 70-1/2, or (ii) the April 1 following the calendar year
in which your employment ends. If you are a 5% owner, your required beginning
date is the April 1 following the calendar year in which you attain age
70-1/2.
Payment to
Your Beneficiary
Beneficiary Designation
If you die, your vested accounts
will be paid to your designated beneficiary or beneficiaries. If you fail
to designate a beneficiary, or if your beneficiary designation is not
effective, the Plan provides for classes of automatic beneficiaries who
will receive the payment(generally, specified family members or your estate).
Married Participants
If you are married at the time
of your death, your spouse will have the right to receive your entire
death benefit unless your spouse consents to another beneficiary. The
consent of your spouse must be in a writing witnessed by a notary public
and must acknowledge the effect of your designation of another beneficiary.
Your spouse's consent can be given at the time you make a designation
or any later time.
Note: If you are a former participant
in the Deluxe Corporation Defined Contribution Pension Plan and you have
a Deluxe Defined Contribution Pension Account under this Plan, special
beneficiary rules apply to that account. As required by federal law, if:
(a) you designate a Beneficiary as to your Deluxe Defined Contribution
Pension Account before the January 1 of the year in which you reach age
35, and (b) you die on or after that January 1 while married, and (c)
your Beneficiary designation names someone other than your spouse; then
that designation is void and your spouse is your presumed Beneficiary
of your Deluxe Defined Contribution Pension Account. If you want to name
someone other than your spouse as Beneficiary, you must file a new Beneficiary
designation with your spouse's consent.
Beneficiary Forms
We recommend that you file
a beneficiary designation form and keep it up to date. To be valid, the
Committee must receive your form during your lifetime. Contact the Committee
for a form to change beneficiary designations. Note: A beneficiary entitled
to a payment may disclaim all or any portion of his or her interest, subject
to the rules of the Plan, within 180 days of the date of your death. Contact
the Committee for details.
Form of Payment
Except as provided below, payment
will be made in a lump sum. Note: If you are a former participant in the
Deluxe Corporation Defined Contribution Pension Plan and you have a Deluxe
Defined Contribution Pension Account under this Plan, payment from that
account will be made in a lump sum or by the purchase and distribution
of an annuity contract from an insurance company. These rules apply:
| Account More Than $5,000
and Spouse Beneficiary. If the beneficiary of your Deluxe Defined
Contribution Pension Account is your surviving spouse and the balance
of your vested accounts exceeds $5,000, your Deluxe Defined Contribution
Pension Account will be used to buy an annuity contract for your surviving
spouse. The contract will provide an immediate monthly income to your
surviving spouse for life. This annuity contract will not have any
death benefits. Exception: Your surviving spouse may reject payment
by annuity contract and receive payment in a lump sum. Your spouse's
rejection must be in writing and must be made within the 90-day period
prior (but in no event less than 7 days prior) to the payment valuation
date. |
| Nonspouse Beneficiary.
If the beneficiary of your Deluxe Defined Contribution Pension Account
is not your surviving spouse, payment will be made in a lump sum. |
| Automatic Payment.
If your beneficiary does not apply for payment, payment will be made
as of the December 31 preceding the fifth anniversary of your death |
Payment During Employment
Payment Due to Hardship
In some situations, you may
receive a hardship payment during employment from the vested portion of
your vested accounts (not including earnings on your employee savings
account or earnings on any transfer account holding pre-tax employee deferrals
transferred to this Plan). Moreover, if you have a Deluxe Defined Contribution
Pension Account under this Plan, hardship payments are not available from
this account. Payments during employment will be made only if the payment
is for:
|
|
deductible
expenses for medical care incurred by you, your spouse or certain
dependents, or necessary to obtain medical care for you, your spouse
or certain dependents, or |
|
|
costs directly
related to the purchase of your principal residence (excluding mortgage
payments), or |
|
|
the payment
of tuition, room and board and related educational fees for the next
twelve months of post-secondary education for you, your spouse, your
children or dependents, or |
|
|
payments necessary
to prevent your eviction from your principal residence or foreclosure
on your principal residence |
|
|
The hardship
payment cannot exceed the amount of the immediate and heavy financial
need created by the hardship, but may include amounts necessary to
pay any reasonably anticipated federal, state or local income taxes
or penalties as a result of the payment. Also, you must receive all
other payments or nontaxable loans available under all plans maintained
by the Employer before receiving a hardship payment. Hardship payments
will be made as soon as practicable after approval of your hardship
payment application. |
|
|
Effective
with hardship payments made after January 1, 2002, if you receive
a hardship payment which includes any part of your Employee Savings
Account (or any transfer account holding pre-tax employee deferrals
transferred to this Plan), your employee savings election and all
elective and employee contributions under all other plans of the Employer
(such as the employee stock purchase plan) will be canceled for 6
months after the date you receive the payment. You will be eligible
to make new employee savings contributions as of the payday on or
after that 6-month period. In addition, the annual limit for employee
savings contributions for the calendar year following the hardship
payment will be reduced by the amount of employee savings contributions
made during the calendar year of the hardship payment. Contact the
Committee if you have questions regarding hardship distributions.

Payment from Deluxe Profit
Sharing Account at or after Age 50
If you are a former participant
in the Deluxe Corporation Profit Sharing Plan and you have a Deluxe Profit
Sharing Account under this Plan, you may receive payment from that account
for any reason during employment after you have attained age 50. The value
of your Deluxe Profit Sharing Account after any such payment must at least
equal the amount of contributions allocated to it during the preceding
two years. This limitation does not apply, however, if you have been a
Participant five years or more (counting your participation under the
Deluxe plan).
Loans
You may obtain a loan from your accounts under the Plan if you are actively
employed by your Employer. The minimum loan amount is $1,000. The total
amount of your loan may not exceed 50% of the amount of your accounts
under the Plan or $50,000, whichever is less. You may not have more than
one (1) loan outstanding.
You must complete such applications
as are required by the Committee in connection with your loan. By accepting
a loan, you automatically put a lien on your accounts under the Plan for
the amount of the loan plus unpaid interest. The loan must be repaid within
a specified period of time not to exceed five years. In addition, such
loans must be repaid in substantially level amounts, including principal
and interest, over the term of the loan. Payments must be made through
monthly or more frequent payroll deductions. Prepayment of principal and
interest is permitted only if the entire remaining balance due on the
promissory note is paid in full.
The interest rate will be 1%
over the prime rate of interest charged by large United States money center
commercial banks on the last business day of the month prior to the month
in which the loan is made. The interest you pay is credited to your accounts.
For the purpose of sharing in any gains or losses of the trust fund, the
amount of your accounts will be deemed to have beenreduced by the unpaid
balance of any outstanding loans.
If you should die before your
loan is paid in full, your loan will be terminated and the amount of the
outstanding principal and unpaid interest will be offset against the assets
in your accounts under the Plan.
If you terminate employment,
you must repay the entire outstanding balance of your loan within 30 days
following your termination of employment. Payment must be made by personal
check, cashier's check, certified check or money order delivered to the
Trustee. If you do not do so, your accounts under the Plan will be reduced
by the amount of the loan which was unpaid, plus interest. This unpaid
amount will be considered a withdrawal from the Plan and subject to all
applicable tax obligations. Loans are subject to a number of rules. The
Trustee can provide further information regarding the rules and the forms
necessary to complete a loan.

CLAIMS
PROCEDURES (back
to top)
If you believe you are entitled to benefits, or you disagree with a decision
regarding your benefits, you may file a claim with the Committee.
Making a Claim
You must file your written claim with the Committee. Within 90 days of
the date you file your claim, you will receive either a decision or a
notice describing the need for additional time (up to an 90 additional
days) to reach a decision. You must include all the facts and arguments
that you want considered during the claim and review procedure. If the
Committee denies your claim, in whole or in part, you will receive a written
notice specifying the reasons, the Plan provisions on which it is based,
and it will also explain your right to request a review. If you do not
receive a notice, you should assume the Committee denied your claim.
Time for Filing a Claim
You must file your claim within 1 year after the date you knew or reasonably
should have known of the facts behind your claim. If you claim your investment
directions or contribution elections were not properly followed, this
1-year period is shortened to 45 days.
Review of a Denied Claim
You may request a review of a denied claim. Your request must be in writing
and must be delivered to the Committee within 60 days after the date you
receive notice that your claim was denied. Your request for review may
include issues and comments you want considered in
the review. You may examine pertinent plan documents. Within 60 days after
you deliver your request for review, you will receive either a decision
or a notice describing the need for additional time (up to 60 additional
days) to reach a decision. The decision will be in writing and will specify
the Plan provisions on which it is based.
Preservation of Rights
You must file your claim and follow the claim and review procedure before
you can sue over your claim. If you do not, you will
give up legal rights.
In General
The Committee will make all decisions on claims and reviews. The Committee
has the sole discretion, authority, and responsibility to decide all factual
and legal questions under the Plan. This includes interpreting and construing
the Plan and any ambiguous or unclear terms, and determining whether a
claimant is eligible for benefits and the amount of the benefits, if any,
a claimant is entitled to receive. The Committee may hold hearings, and
reserves the right to delegate its authority to make decisions. The Committee
may rely on any applicable statute of limitations as a basis to deny a
claim. The Committee's decisions are conclusive and binding on all parties.
If you do not receive a decision within the specified time, assume your
claim was denied. You may, at your own expense, have an attorney or representative
act on your behalf, but the Committee reserves the right to require a
written authorization.
Limitations Period
If you file your claim within the required time, complete the entire claim
and review procedure, and the Committee denies your claim, you may sue
over your claim (unless you have executed a release on your claim). You
must, however, commence that suit within 30 months after you knew or reasonably
should have known of the facts behind your claim or, if earlier, within
6 months after the claim and review procedure is completed. The 30-month
period is shortened to 19 months to the extent your claim is that your
investment directions or your contribution elections were not properly
followed.
Exhaustion of Administrative
Remedies
Before commencing legal action to recover benefits, or to enforce or clarify
rights, you must completely exhaust the Plan's claim and review procedures.

| PLAN
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION (back
to top)
The Employer intends to continue
the Plan indefinitely, but it has the right to amend and to terminate
the Plan at any time and for any reason. No amendment or termination will
reduce your vested account balance. In fact, if the Plan is terminated
or partially terminated (affecting you) while you are employed, or if
Employer contributions are permanently discontinued, you will be fully
vested. In such an event, the Employer may decide to pay your vested account
to you on any date after the termination or to follow the payment rules
described in this Summary.

ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION (back
to top)
Assignment of Your Account
Creditors cannot reach your account (by garnishment or other process)
while it is held in trust. Nor may you pledge or assign your account while
it is held in trust. The Plan, however, must obey a court order that assigns
part or all of your account to your spouse, former spouse, or dependents
if the order is a qualified domestic relations order ("QDRO").
Contact the Committee for model QDRO language and to submit a QDRO. You
can obtain, without charge, a copy of the procedures used to determine
whether a domestic relations order is a QDRO from the plan administrator.
Fees and Expenses
Trustee fees and record keeping fees may be paid by the Plan. The expenses
of investment subfunds, including commissions, investment management fees,
and other transactional costs, are paid out of the subfund and reduce
the subfund's rate of return. If you take out a loan, loan distribution
and processing fees will be charged on your account. If you terminate
employment and leave your account balance in the Plan, you may be charged
an administrative fee.
Service of Legal Process
Service of legal process may be made on the corporate Secretary of eFunds
Corporation (at the address above). Also, service of legal process may
be made upon eFunds Corporation as plan administrator or upon the Trustee.
Type of Plan
The Plan is "tax-qualified" under the Internal Revenue Code
as a defined contribution profit sharing plan that includes a Section
401(k) qualified cash or deferred arrangement. As a result, payments from
the Plan may be entitled to special tax treatment. You are encouraged
to seek tax advice from an expert. The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
does not insure the Plan because profit sharing plans are not eligible
for such insurance. Rather, you are paid your vested account balance.

|
USERRA
(back
to top)
If you leave your employment
to serve in the uniformed services and the Employer rehires you within
a certain time, the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights
Act ("USERRA") provides you certain rights under the Plan. Contact
the Committee for further information regarding these rights.
ERISA Rights
As a participant in the Rosemount Office Systems Inc. Profit Sharing Retirement
Plan, you are entitled to certain rights and protections under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). ERISA provides
that all plan participants shall be entitled to:
|
|
Receive
Information About Your Plan and Benefits. Examine, without charge,
at the plan administrator's office and at other specified locations,
such as worksites and union halls, all documents governing the Plan,
including insurance contracts and collective bargaining agreements,
and a copy of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) filed by
the Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor and available at the Public
Disclosure Room of the Pension and Welfare Benefit Administration.
|
|
|
Obtain,
upon written request to the plan administrator, copies of documents
governing the operation of the Plan, including insurance contracts
and collective bargaining agreements, and copies of the latest annual
report (Form 5500 Series) and updated summary plan description. The
plan administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies. |
|
|
Receive
a summary of the Plan's annual financial report. The plan administrator
is required by law to furnish each
participant with a copy of this summary annual report. |
|
|
Obtain
a statement telling you the value of your profit sharing benefit.
This statement must be requested in writing and is not required to
be given more than once every twelve (12) months. Your Employer will
provide the statement free of charge. |
Prudent Actions by Plan
Fiduciaries
In addition to creating rights for plan participants, ERISA imposes duties
upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the employee
benefit plan. The people who operate your Plan, called "fiduciaries"
of the Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you
and other plan participants and beneficiaries. No one, including your
employer, your union, or any other person, may fire you or otherwise discriminate
against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining a pension benefit
or exercising your rights under ERISA.
Enforce Your Rights
If your claim for a pension benefit is denied or ignored, in whole or
in part, you have a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies
of documents relating to the decision without charge, and to appeal any
denial, all within certain time schedules. Under ERISA, there are steps
you can take to enforce the above rights. For instance, if you request
a copy of plan documents or the latest annual report from the plan and
do not receive them within 30 days, you may file suit in a Federal court.
In such a case, the court may require the plan administrator to provide
the materials and pay you up to $110 a day until you receive the materials,
unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control
of the administrator. If you have a claim for benefits which is denied
or ignore, in whole or in part, you may file suit in a state or Federal
court. In addition, if you disagree with the Plan's decision or lack thereof
concerning the qualified status of a domestic relations order, you may
file suit in Federal court. If it should happen that plan fiduciaries
misuse the Plan's money, or if you are discriminated against for asserting
your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor,
or you may file suit in a Federal court. The court will decide who should
pay court costs and legal fees. If you are successful the court may order
the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you lose, the
court may order you to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds
your claim is frivolous.
Assistance with Your
Questions
If you have any questions about your Plan, you should contact the plan
administrator. If you have any questions about this statement or about
your rights under ERISA, or if you need assistance in obtaining documents
from the plan administrator, you should contact the nearest office of
the Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration, U.S. Department of Labor,
listed in your telephone directory or the Division of Technical Assistance
and Inquiries, Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration, U.S. Department
of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210. You may
also obtain certain publications about your rights and responsibilities
under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Pension and Welfare
Benefits Administration.
