Exhibit 10.1




AMENDMENT OF LOAN AGREEMENT




THIS AMENDMENT OF LOAN AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made as of this 31st day of July, 2008,
by and among CSS INDUSTRIES, INC. (the “Company”), CSS MANAGEMENT LLC (the “Subsidiary Borrower”
and, together with the Company, individually, each a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”),
the lenders from time to time parties to the Loan Agreement defined below (the “Lenders”), and PNC
BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the Lenders.



Background:




A. The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrowers entered into an Amended and
Restated Loan Agreement dated as of April 23, 2004 (as heretofore modified and amended, the “Loan
Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to make Advances from time to time to the
Borrowers.



B. The Borrowers have requested and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed to
amend certain of the provisions in the Loan Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit, all on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.



NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for good and valuable consideration, the
legality and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be
legally bound hereby, agree as follows:



1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein, including in the foregoing recitals,
and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Loan Agreement.



2. Amendments to Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement is hereby amended effective as of
July 31, 2008 (the “Amendment Effective Date”) as follows:



(a) The following new definition of “Letter of Credit Coverage Requirement” is added
to Section 1.1 in the appropriate alphabetical order:




““Letter of Credit Coverage Requirement”: with respect to
each Letter of Credit at any time, 102% of the maximum amount
available to be drawn thereunder at such time (determined without
regard to whether any conditions to drawing could be met at such
time).”



 


 









 





(b) The third and fourth sentences of Section 2.2(a) are amended and restated to read in full
as follows:




“No standby Letter of Credit shall be issued with an expiry date
later than the earlier of: (i) one (1) year from the date of
issuance
and (ii) except as provided in Section 2.2(h), the Maturity Date.
No commercial Letter of Credit shall be issued with an expiry date
later than the earlier of: (i) one hundred twenty (120) days from
the date of issuance and (ii) except as provided in Section 2.2(h),
the Maturity Date.”




(c) The following new Section 2.2(h) is added immediately following Section 2.2(g):




“(h) If the expiration date for any Letter of Credit requested by
the Borrowers to be issued, or extended or renewed, pursuant to
Section 2.2(a) is later than the Maturity Date, the Fronting Lender
may nonetheless issue, or extend or renew, such Letter of Credit
notwithstanding that such expiration date is later than the Maturity
Date, provided that Borrowers shall on or before the day five (5)
days prior to the Maturity Date deposit with the Administrative
Agent as security for the Obligations, cash in an amount equal to
the Letter of Credit Coverage Requirement with respect to each such
Letter of Credit which remains outstanding on such date, which cash
shall be deposited with, pledged to and held by the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in the same manner as provided
in Section 8.2(c).”




(d) Section 8.2(c) is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows:




“(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default and in addition to all other rights and remedies available
to the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall upon demand of the
Administrative Agent, deposit in a non-interest bearing account with
the Administrative Agent, as cash collateral for the Obligations, an
amount equal to the aggregate Letter of Credit Coverage Requirement,
and the Borrowers hereby pledge to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, and grant to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a
security interest in, all such cash as security for the Obligations.
Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by
the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under any
Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all the
Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if
any, shall be applied to repay other Obligations of the Borrowers
hereunder and under the Notes. After all Letters of Credit shall
have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Obligations with respect
thereto shall have been satisfied and all other Obligations of the
Borrowers hereunder and under the Notes shall have been paid in
full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be
returned to the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall execute and deliver
to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Fronting Bank
and the Lenders, such further documents and instruments as the
Administrative Agent
may request to evidence the creation and perfection of the within
security interest in such cash collateral account. Except as
expressly provided above in this Section, presentment, demand,
protest and all other notices of any kind are expressly waived.”

3. Amendment to the Loan Documents. All references to the Loan Agreement in the Loan
Documents shall be deemed to refer to the Loan Agreement as amended hereby.



4. Ratification of the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein contained or any claims of the parties to the contrary, the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders and the Borrowers agree that the Loan Documents are in full force and effect and each such
document shall remain in full force and effect, as amended by this Amendment and each Borrower
hereby ratifies and confirms its obligations thereunder.




5. Representations and Warranties.



(a) Each Borrower hereby certifies that after giving effect to this Amendment, (i) the
representations and warranties of such Borrower in the Loan Agreement are true and correct in all

the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents exists on the date hereof.



(b) Each Borrower further represents that such Borrower has all the requisite power and
authority to enter into and to perform its obligations under this Amendment, and that the
execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment have been duly authorized by all requisite

organizational documents of such Borrower, or of any indenture, note, loan or loan agreement,
license or any other agreement, lease or instrument to which such Borrower is a party or by which
such Borrower or any of its properties are bound.



(c) Each Borrower also further represents that its obligations to repay the Advances, together
with all interest accrued thereon, are absolute and unconditional, and there exists no right of set
off or recoupment, counterclaim or defense of any nature whatsoever to payment of the Advances.

Borrower waives and releases and forever discharges the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and
their respective officers, directors, attorneys, agents, and employees from any liability, damage,
claim, loss or expense of any kind of which it has knowledge as of the date hereof against any of
them arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents. Each Borrower further agrees to indemnify
and hold the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective officers, directors, attorneys,
agents and employees (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) harmless from any loss, damage, judgment,
liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), other than any such loss, damage
judgment, liability or expense caused by the Indemnitee’s own willful misconduct or gross
negligence, suffered by or rendered against any of them on account of any claims arising out of or
relating to the Loan Documents. Each Borrower further states that it has carefully read the
foregoing release and indemnity, knows the contents thereof and grants the same as its own free act
and deed.



(b) All terms, conditions, provisions and covenants in the Loan Documents and all other
documents delivered to the Administrative Agent in connection therewith shall remain unaltered and

other provision hereof.



(e) This Amendment shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.



(f) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns and may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of

instrument.



(g) The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, do not form a
part of this Amendment and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this
