NONQUALIFIED SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN
COVERING OFFICER-EMPLOYEES OF
CSS INDUSTRIES, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

ARTICLE I

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.

Section 1.03 Employer Contributions Covered by the Plan . The Plan covers amounts credited to Accounts on behalf of Participants that have not been fully distributed to Participants prior to January 1, 2009.

Section 1.04 Definitions . All capitalized terms in this Article I shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Article II below.
