NONQUALIFIED SUPPLEMENTAL
EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN
COVERING OFFICER-EMPLOYEES OF
CSS INDUSTRIES, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
HISTORY AND PURPOSE OF THE
PLAN
Section 1.01 History . CSS
previously adopted the Prior CSS Plan. In addition, certain
Subsidiaries of CSS previously adopted the Prior Subsidiary Plans.
CSS has determined to merge the Prior Subsidiary Plans with and
into the Prior CSS Plan, effective as of January 1, 2009, so
that CSS sponsors one plan for itself and its participating
Subsidiaries. The Prior CSS Plan will be the surviving plan. In
addition, CSS has determined to amend and restate the surviving
Prior CSS Plan, as merged with the Prior Subsidiary Plans, to
incorporate the requirements of section 409A of the Code and its
corresponding regulations with respect to that portion of each
Participant’s Account that is subject to the requirements of
section 409A of the Code, as well as to make certain design changes
that will be reflected in the surviving CSS Plan. This Plan
document shall reflect the terms and conditions of the surviving
Prior CSS Plan, as amended and restated, effective as of
January 1, 2009. This Plan document covers any Participant who
was entitled to receive a benefit from the Prior CSS Plan or a
Prior Subsidiary Plan as of December 31, 2008, but did not
receive payment of his benefit under such plans as of such date, as
well as any individual who becomes a Participant in the Plan on or
after January 1, 2009. Benefit payments commencing prior to
January 1, 2009 are governed by the terms of the Prior CSS
Plan or Prior Subsidiary Plans as they existed prior to
January 1, 2009 and are either grandfathered from the
requirements of section 409A of the Code or payable pursuant to a
fixed scheduled as required by, and in compliance with, section
409A of the Code, with payments made between January 1, 2005
and December 31, 2008 that are subject to the requirements of
section 409A of the Code, such plans have been operated in
accordance with the transition relief established by the Treasury
Department and Internal Revenue Service pursuant to section 409A of
the Code.
Section 1.02 Purpose . The
purpose of the Plan, as amended and restated effective as of the
Effective Date, is to recognize the services provided by certain
key employees and officers of CSS and its Subsidiaries. The Plan is
intended to make additional retirement benefits and increased
financial security available to the Participant’s on a
tax-favored basis by providing additional Employer contributions
that cannot be made under the Qualified Plans of CSS and its
Subsidiaries due to certain restrictions applicable under the Code.
CSS intends that the Plan shall at all times be maintained on an
unfunded basis for federal income tax purposes under the Code and
administered as a non-qualified “top-hat” plan exempt
from the substantive requirements of ERISA. CSS also intends that
the Plan shall be maintained and operated in accordance with the
requirements of section 409A of the Code and its corresponding
regulations, with respect to amounts subject to such
requirements.
