Re: $10,000,000 Committed Line of Credit
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are pleased to inform you that PNC Bank, National Association (the Bank), has approved your request for a committed line of credit to CSS Industries, Inc. and CSS Management LLC (individually and collectively, the Borrower). All the details regarding your line of credit are outlined in the following sections of this letter.
1. Facility and Use of Proceeds. This is a committed revolving line of credit under which the Borrower may request and the Bank, subject to the terms and conditions of this letter, will make advances to the Borrower from time to time until the Expiration Date, in an amount in the aggregate at any time outstanding not to exceed $10,000,000 (the Line of Credit or the Loan). The Expiration Date means the earlier of (a) September 29, 2008 (or such later date as may be designated by the Bank by written notice to the Borrower) and (b) the date of the termination of the revolving credit facility under the Senior Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined). Advances under the Line of Credit will be used for working capital or other general business purposes of the Borrower.
2. Note. The obligation of the Borrower to repay advances under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a committed line of credit note (the Note) in form and content satisfactory to the Bank.
This letter (the Letter Agreement), the Note and the other agreements and documents executed and/or delivered pursuant hereto, as each may be amended, modified, extended or renewed from time to time, will constitute the Loan Documents. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Loan Documents.
3. Interest Rate. Interest on the unpaid balance of the Line of Credit advances will be charged at the rates, and be payable on the dates and times, set forth in the Note.
4. Repayment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Letter Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow under the Line of Credit until the Expiration Date, on which date the outstanding principal balance and any accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable. Interest will be due and payable as set forth in the Note, and will be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid on the actual number of days that principal is outstanding.

5. Security. The Borrower must cause to be executed and delivered to the Bank in form and content satisfactory to the Bank as security for the Loan a guaranty and suretyship agreement, under which each of its respective subsidiaries which is a guarantor of the Borrowers obligations under the Senior Loan Agreement (individually or collectively, the Guarantor) will unconditionally jointly and severally guarantee the due and punctual payment of all indebtedness owed to the Bank by the Borrower under the Loan Documents.
In addition, the Loan will be cross-defaulted with all other present and future obligations of the Borrower to the Bank under that certain Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of April 23, 2004 among the Borrower, the Bank and certain other lenders from time to time parties thereto and the Bank as Administrative Agent for such lenders, as heretofore or hereafter modified or amended (the Senior Loan Agreement).
6. Covenants. Unless compliance is waived in writing by the Bank, until payment in full of the Loan and termination of the commitment for the Line of Credit:
(a) The Borrower will promptly submit to the Bank such information as the Bank may reasonably request relating to the Borrowers affairs (including but not limited to the financial information the Borrower is obligated to provide to the Bank pursuant to the Senior Loan Agreement).
(b) The Borrower will notify the Bank in writing of the occurrence of any Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Senior Loan Agreement) or an act or condition which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both would become such an Event of Default.
7. Representations and Warranties. To induce the Bank to extend the Loan and upon the making of each advance to the Borrower under the Line of Credit, the Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
(a) The Borrowers latest financial statements provided to the Bank pursuant to the Senior Loan Agreement are true, complete and accurate in all material respects and fairly present the financial condition, assets and liabilities, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, and the results of the Borrowers operations for the period specified therein. Since the date of the latest Financial Statements provided to the Bank, the Borrower has not suffered any damage, destruction or loss which has materially adversely affected its business, assets, operations, financial condition or results of operations.
(b) There are no actions, suits, proceedings or governmental investigations pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower which would result in a material adverse change in its business, assets, operations, financial condition or results of operations and there is no basis known to the Borrower or its officers for any such action, suit, proceedings or investigation.

(e) Each Borrower has full power and authority to enter into the transactions provided for in this Letter Agreement and has been duly authorized to do so by all necessary and appropriate action and when executed and delivered by such Borrower, this Letter Agreement and the other Loan Documents will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Borrower, enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with their terms.

8. Fees. On the date of the Note, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank a fee of $15,000.
9. Expenses. The Borrower will reimburse the Bank for the Banks expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Banks counsel) in documenting and closing this transaction, in connection with any amendments, modifications or renewals of the Loan, and in connection with the collection of all of the Borrowers Obligations to the Bank, including but not limited to enforcement actions relating to the Loan.
