Employment Agreement with Jack Farber

On December 5, 2012, CSS Industries, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an employment agreement with Jack Farber (the "Agreement") which sets forth the terms and conditions of Mr. Farber's continuing employment with the Company. The Agreement provides that Mr. Farber will continue to be employed as an employee in the position of Chairman (the "Chairman") of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") until July 31, 2014, unless his employment is terminated earlier (a) by the Company or Mr. Farber or (b) if he is not elected to the Board. Unless terminated earlier, Mr. Farber's employment with the Company will terminate on July 31, 2014.

Under the Agreement, while Mr. Farber is employed as the Chairman he will continue to receive a base salary equal to $400,000 per year and will continue to be eligible to participate in all employee pension and welfare benefit plans made available to the Company's senior management employees.

The Agreement provides that if either (a) Mr. Farber remains continuously employed as the Chairman through July 31, 2014 and his employment with the Company terminates on July 31, 2014 or (b) Mr. Farber's employment is terminated by the Company for any reason prior to July 31, 2014, including by reason of his not being re-elected as a member of the Board by the Company's stockholders, but other than on account of his death or for "Cause" (as such term is defined in the Agreement), Mr. Farber will receive continued payment of his base salary for twelve months following his termination of employment.

The Agreement also provides that if either (a) Mr. Farber remains continuously employed as the Chairman through July 31, 2014 and his employment with the Company terminates on July 31, 2014 or (b) Mr. Farber's employment is terminated by the Company for any reason prior to July 31, 2014, including by reason of his not being re-elected as a member of the Board by the Company's stockholders, but other than on account of termination for Cause, Mr. Farber and his spouse will receive lifetime medical insurance coverage under a medical insurance program that provides medical coverage on the terms and conditions, and at such levels, that Mr. Farber (or his spouse, in the event of his earlier death) and the Company mutually agree (which coverage will not be substantially greater or less than the coverage Mr. Farber had in effect on the date immediately prior to his last day of employment with the Company), provided that in order for Mr. Farber and his spouse to receive such medical coverage, Mr. Farber (or his spouse, in the event of his earlier death) must pay the monthly premium for the coverage, and the Company will pay him the amount of such monthly premium, less the amount that he would have been required to pay for such coverage if he were employed by the Company at such time, plus an additional amount equal to the federal, state, and local income and payroll taxes that Mr. Farber incurs on such monthly payment.


The Agreement conditions the severance payments and continued medical benefits on Mr. Farber's execution and non-revocation of a release of claims; however, no release is required if the medical coverage is provided to Mr. Farber's spouse following termination of his employment on account of his death.

The Agreement includes a non-competition restriction on Mr. Farber during the term of his employment and for one year after his termination of employment.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.

On December 4, 2012, the Board adopted amended and restated bylaws (the "Restated Bylaws"), replacing the then-existing bylaws of the Company, as amended and restated through September 25, 2012 (the "Existing Bylaws").
