TERM SHEET

FOR SHIPPING LABEL PRODUCTS

Intuit Inc. (“Intuit”) and the John H. Harland Company (“Harland”) are parties to a Supply Agreement entered into as of January 1, 2000 (“Supply Agreement”). This Term Sheet is not intended to be binding on either party but shall serve as the basis of a definitive Addendum to the Supply Agreement to be negotiated and, if agreed upon, executed by the parties; which will cover certain additional products that is consistent with the provisions of this Term Sheet and will contain such other customary terms as the parties may agree.

1.   TERM. The term of the Addendum will be one year starting from the implementation date and is non-exclusive. In addition to the grounds for termination mentioned in Section 45 of the Supply Agreement, Intuit shall have the right to review and terminate without penalty the Addendum at any time upon sixty (60) day notification and cure period per Section 45, should the product selection, quality, and/or service provided by Harland for the products covered by this Term Sheet not meet the specifications that were mutually agreed to by Harland and Intuit. Such termination of the Addendum would be subject to the same process relating to notification and cure as is contained in the Supply Agreement. In case of termination, any unsold inventory and work in process covered by the Addendum, will be the responsibility of Harland.

Harland’s system support is limited to Harland’s controlled hardware and/or software, and the level of support will be prorated above the levels specified in the Supply Agreement based on the additional volumes resulting from additional products.
 
3.   TARGET DATES FOR PRODUCT IMPLEMENTATION.

Exhibit B

Product specifications & other requirements

Shipping Labels – styles supported

    The following six standard designs of Discount Labels shipping labels should be supported for 6-up laser sheets: ML2, ML3, ML8, ML12, ML13, JML. For the initial launch, manual shipping label rolls will not be supported due to differences in their imprintable area.
 
    All styles of labels will have the same imprintable area of 3 1/8” in length by 7/8” in height. This imprint box should begin 3/8” from the top of the label and 7/16” from the left of the label.

Shipping Labels – Customization Options

    Three layout types will be offered on this product line – Left Logo, Right Logo, and No Logo. Label stock designs have been selected so that across these three templates, there will be a single, standard imprintable area. The logo must fit into a box that is 7/8” x 7/8”, and a 1/8” margin should be placed between the logo bounding box and the text bounding box. Therefore, for the two layout types with logos, the area available for text will be 2 1/8” in length. For the template with no logo option, the imprintable area will be 3 1/8” x 7/8”.
 
    Up to four (4) lines of imprint text will be supported for custom-printed shipping labels in the “From” box of the label.
 
    The following Intuit standard fonts will be supported. As with business cards & stationery, customers will be able to select and use any of these fonts at no additional charge. The fonts include: Auriol, Calvert, Helvetica, Hobo, Kauffman, Korinna, Improv, Cascade Script, Nueva, Palatino, Sabon, Garamond. The default font shall be Helvetica, as in our business cards & stationery line.
 
    The customer will have the ability to specify that one or more lines of text be printed in bold type.
 
    The default point size will be 12 point bold for the first line of imprint, and 10 point bold for the second, third, and fourth lines of imprint. The customer will be able to reduce the point size to 11 point or 10 point (if top line) or 9 point or 8 point (if any line), but they will not be able to enlarge the point size.
 
    Customers should have the ability to enter 27 characters per line of imprint.
 
    The following nine standard ink colors will be supported. These nine ink colors do not exactly match FSG’s current ink colors, but it is necessary to allow for some variation in this area given that vendors offer different standard color offerings. Other than the nine colors below, no other colors will be offered at this time.

      Black
Red — PMS 185
Blue — Reflex blue
Green — PMS 349
Brown — PMS 477
Light Blue — Process blue
Maroon — PMS 208
Violet — PMS Violet
Teal — PMS 321

    The imprint text block should be centered vertically in the imprint area. This is particularly important if the customer only enters a 1, 2, or 3 line imprint, rather than a 4 line imprint.

Logos

    Customers should have the ability to use their custom logo – either newly uploaded, or existing from a previous order – on their custom printed shipping labels with design formats that support custom logos.
 
    Customers should have the ability to use any standard or monogram logo on their custom printed shipping labels.
 
    Logos must be printed in the same standard ink color in which the imprint text is printed.
 
    Logos uploaded for use on custom printed shipping labels must also be made available for use on other Intuit products – both on IntuitMarket/Logo Locker and in Cosmos.
 
    Custom logos and standard logos will be able to be applied to custom printed shipping labels at no additional cost to the customer or to Intuit.

.
Shipment & packaging requirements

    Labels shipped directly from a label vendor, Harland’s shipper numbers will be used.
 
    Intuit customers will be given the option of ground shipping, second day shipping, and next day shipping for any label product ordered.
 
    Harland will make available to Intuit updated, electronic information about the ship status of boxes (fulfilled from either Harland or the label vendor) on at least an hourly basis.
 
    For any labels shipped directly from the label vendor, the boxes will be labeled with a return address of Intuit (Harland’s Milton return address), and any materials (packing slip, etc.) contained within the box will be branded as Intuit and will be subject to Intuit’s approval.
 
    For any labels shipped directly from the label vendor, the vendor will not insert any materials into the box without Intuit’s written express consent.
 
    The label vendor will insert an Intuit Supplies Catalog, and any other materials specified by Intuit, into outgoing labels orders. The label vendor will be responsible for managing an inventory of these written materials, as supplied by Intuit, which will remain the property of Intuit until they are fulfilled in outgoing orders.
