This RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT, dated as of _______ __, 20__ (the “Date of Grant”), is delivered by CSS Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) to _______________ (the “Grantee”).

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined to grant to the Grantee, as a non-employee member on the Board, restricted stock units that will be convertible into shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.10 per share, (the “Company Stock”) if certain terms and conditions are met; and

 

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the restricted stock units granted to the Grantee shall be issued under the CSS Industries, Inc. 2013 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) and the terms and conditions of such restricted stock units shall be memorialized in this Restricted Stock Unit Grant (the “Grant”).

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1.     Grant of Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant and the Plan, the Board hereby grants to the Grantee ______ stock units (collectively, the “Restricted Stock Units”). The Restricted Stock Units will become vested and convertible into shares of Company Stock if, and only to the extent that, the vesting conditions set forth in Paragraph 3 of this Grant are satisfied. Each Restricted Stock Unit shall be a phantom right and shall be equivalent to one share of Company Stock on the Redemption Date (as defined in Paragraph 4 below).

2.     Restricted Stock Unit Account. The Company shall establish and maintain a Restricted Stock Unit account as a bookkeeping account on its records (the “Restricted Stock Unit Account”) for the Grantee and shall record in such Restricted Stock Unit Account the number of Restricted Stock Units granted to the Grantee pursuant to this Grant. The Grantee shall not have any interest in any fund or specific assets of the Company by reason of this Grant or the Restricted Stock Unit Account established for the Grantee.

3.    Vesting.

(a)    Except as provided in subparagraph (b) below, the Restricted Stock Units shall become vested on _____ __, 20__ (the “Vesting Date”), provided the Grantee continues to be Employed by, or providing services to, the Employer (as defined in the Plan) from the Date of Grant through the Vesting Date.

(b)    Notwithstanding subparagraph (a) above, if while the Grantee is Employed by, or providing services to, the Employer, but prior to the Vesting Date, there is a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan), the unvested Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested on the date of the Change of Control (the “Change of Control Date”).

(c)    If at any time prior to the first to occur of the Vesting Date or Change of Control Date, the Grantee ceases to be Employed by, or providing services to, the Employer for any reason or no reason, all of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Grant will be immediately forfeited and the Grantee shall have no rights with respect to the redemption of any portion of such forfeited Restricted Stock Units.

4.    Redemption. The Grantee shall be entitled to receive a distribution with respect to the Grantee’s vested Restricted Stock Units that are credited to the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Unit Account pursuant to this Grant on the first vesting date as provided in Paragraph 3, which is the earlier of (i) the Vesting Date or (ii) the Change of Control Date. The date on which the vested Restricted Stock Units credited to the Restricted Stock Unit Account are distributable to the Grantee pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence is referred to as the “Redemption Date”. On, or within thirty (30) days following, the Redemption Date, all Restricted Stock Units that have become vested pursuant to Paragraph 3 will be redeemed and converted to an equivalent number of shares of Company Stock, and the Grantee shall receive a single sum distribution of such shares of Company Stock, which shall be issued under the Plan. Any Restricted Stock Units not vested because of the failure to satisfy the vesting conditions are forfeited as described in Paragraph 3 above.

5.    Dividend Equivalents. Should any dividend, other than in shares of Company Stock, be declared and paid with respect to the shares of Company Stock during the period between the Date of Grant and the earlier of (a) the Redemption Date or (b) the date on which the Restricted Stock Units credited to the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Unit Account are forfeited, the Company shall credit to a dividend equivalent bookkeeping account (the “Dividend Equivalent Account”) the value of such dividends that would have been paid if the outstanding Restricted Stock Units credited to the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Unit Account at the time of the declaration of the dividend were outstanding shares of Company Stock. At the same time that the corresponding

Restricted Stock Units, if any, are converted to shares of Company Stock and distributed to the Grantee as set forth in Paragraph 4, the Company shall pay to the Grantee a lump sum cash payment equal to the value of the dividends credited to the Grantee’s Dividend Equivalent Account that correspond to such Restricted Stock Units that have become vested; provided, however, that any dividend equivalents that were credited to the Grantee’s Dividend Equivalent Account that are attributable to Restricted Stock Units that have been forfeited as provided in Paragraph 3 above shall be forfeited and not be payable to the Grantee. No interest shall accrue on any dividend equivalents credited to the Grantee’s Dividend Equivalent Account.

6.    Change of Control. Except as provided in Paragraph 3(b) above, the provisions set forth in the Plan applicable to a Change of Control shall apply to the Restricted Stock Units, and, in the event of a Change of Control, the Board may take such actions as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan and is consistent with the requirements of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), if applicable.

7.    Acknowledgment by Grantee. By accepting this Grant, the Grantee acknowledges that with respect to any right to redemption pursuant to this Grant, the Grantee is and shall be an unsecured general creditor of the Company without any preference as against other unsecured general creditors of the Company, and the Grantee hereby covenants for himself or herself, and anyone at any time claiming through or under the Grantee not to claim any such preference, and hereby disclaims and waives any such preference which may at any time be at issue, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The Grantee also hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee will indemnify the Employer (as defined in the Plan) and hold the Employer free and harmless of, from and against any and all losses, damage, obligation or liability, and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection therewith, which may be suffered or incurred on account or by reason of any act or omission of the Grantee or the Grantee’s heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns in breach or violation of the provisions of the Plan or the agreements of the Grantee set forth herein. The Grantee also acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Grant. The Grantee further agrees to be bound by the determinations and decisions of the Board with respect to this Grant and the Plan and the Grantee’s rights to benefits under this Grant and the Plan, and agrees that all such determinations and decisions of the Board shall be binding on the Grantee, his or her beneficiaries and any other person having or claiming an interest under this Grant and the Plan on behalf of the Grantee.
