EXHIBIT 10.1

CSS INDUSTRIES, INC.

2004 EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN

NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION GRANT

This NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION GRANT, dated as of
 _____ 

, 20
 _____ 

(the “Date of
Grant”), is delivered by CSS Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) to
 _____ 

(the
“Grantee”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Committee”) has determined to grant the Grantee an equity award (the “Equity
Award”) for shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.10 per share (the “Company
Stock”);

WHEREAS, the Equity Award is comprised of two separate grants, a nonqualified stock option and
a stock bonus award; and

WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that the nonqualified stock option portion of the Equity
Award shall be issued under the CSS Industries, Inc. 2004 Equity Compensation Plan (the
“Plan”) and the terms and conditions of such nonqualified stock option shall be
memorialized in this Nonqualified Stock Option Grant (the “Grant”).

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

1. Grant of Option. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant and in the
Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee a nonqualified stock option (the “Option”)
to purchase
 _____ 

shares of Company Stock at an exercise price of $  per share. The
Option shall become exercisable according to Paragraph 2 below.

2. Exercisability of Option. The Option shall become exercisable on the following dates,
if the Grantee is Employed by the Employer (as defined in the Plan) on the applicable vesting date
(each, a “Vesting Date”):

	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Shares for Which the Option is	 
	Vesting Date	 	Exercisable on the Vesting Date	 
	First anniversary of the Date of Grant
	 	 	25	%
	Second anniversary of the Date of Grant
	 	 	25	%
	Third anniversary of the Date of Grant
	 	 	25	%
	Fourth anniversary of the Date of Grant
	 	 	25	%

The exercisability of the Option is cumulative, but shall not exceed 100% of the shares of Company
Stock subject to the Option. If the foregoing schedule would produce fractional shares, the number
of shares for which the Option becomes exercisable shall be rounded up to
the nearest whole Share. The Committee may accelerate the period over which the Option becomes
exercisable based upon the Grantee’s individual performance.

 

 

 

3. Term of Option.

(a) The Option shall have a term of seven years from the Date of Grant and shall terminate at
the expiration of that period, unless it is terminated at an earlier date pursuant to the
provisions of this Grant or the Plan.

(b) The Option shall automatically terminate upon the happening of the first of the following
events:

(i) The expiration of the 90-day period after the Grantee ceases to be Employed by the
Employer, if the termination is for any reason other than death, termination for Cause (as defined
in the Plan), or the Grantee’s sole determination to terminate his or her employment (other than by
reason of retirement approved by the Committee).

(ii) The expiration of the 180-day period after the Grantee ceases to be Employed by the
Employer, if the Grantee dies while Employed by the Employer or retires from such employment with
the consent of the Committee.

(iii) The date on which the Grantee ceases to be Employed by the Employer on account of a
termination for Cause by the Employer (as defined in the Plan) or the Grantee’s voluntary
termination (other than by reason of retirement approved by the Committee). In addition,
notwithstanding the prior provisions of this Paragraph 3, if the Grantee engages in conduct that
constitutes Cause after the Grantee’s employment or service terminates, the Option shall
immediately terminate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Option be exercised after the date that is
immediately before the seventh anniversary of the Date of Grant. Any portion of the Option that is
not exercisable at the time the Grantee ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the
Employer shall immediately terminate.

4. Exercise Procedures.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 2 and 3 above, the Grantee may exercise part or
all of the exercisable Option by giving the Company written notice of intent to exercise in the
manner provided in this Grant, specifying the number of shares of Company Stock as to which the
Option is to be exercised and the method of payment. Payment of the exercise price shall be made
in accordance with procedures established by the Committee from time to time based on type of
payment being made but, in any event, prior to issuance of the shares of Company Stock. The
Grantee shall pay the exercise price (i) in cash, (ii) by delivering shares of Company Stock owned
by the Grantee and having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) on the date of exercise at
least equal to the exercise price or by attestation (on a form prescribed by the Committee) to
ownership of shares of Company Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise at least
equal to the exercise price, (iii) by payment through a broker in accordance with procedures
permitted by Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board, or (iv) by such other method as the
Committee may approve, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 

-2-

 

The Committee may impose from time to time such limitations as it deems appropriate on the use
of shares of Company Stock to exercise the Option.

(b) The obligation of the Company to deliver shares of Company Stock upon exercise of the
Option shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations and such approvals by
governmental agencies as may be deemed appropriate by the Committee, including such actions as
Company counsel shall deem necessary or appropriate to comply with relevant securities laws and
regulations.

(c) All obligations of the Company under this Grant shall be subject to the rights of the
Employer as set forth in the Plan to withhold amounts required to be withheld for any taxes, if
applicable. Unless Committee determines otherwise, the Grantee may elect to satisfy any tax
withholding obligation of the Employer with respect to the Option by having shares of Company Stock
withheld up to an amount that does not exceed the minimum applicable withholding tax rate for
federal (including FICA), state and local tax liabilities.

5. Change of Control. The provisions of the Plan applicable to a Change of Control (as
defined in the Plan) shall apply to the Option, and, in the event of a Change of Control, the
Committee may take such actions as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan.

6. Restrictions on Exercise. Except as the Committee may otherwise permit pursuant to the
Plan, only the Grantee may exercise the Option during the Grantee’s lifetime and, after the
Grantee’s death, the Option shall be exercisable (subject to the limitations specified in the Plan)
solely by the legal representatives of the Grantee, or by the person who acquires the right to
exercise the Option by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, to the extent that the
Option is exercisable pursuant to this Grant.

7. Acknowledgement By Grantee. By accepting this Grant, the Grantee hereby 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 Committee 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 Committee 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. The Grantee further hereby acknowledges and
agrees that the Grantee will indemnify the Employer 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.

8. Grant Subject to Plan Provisions. This grant is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of
which are incorporated herein by reference, and in all respects shall be interpreted in accordance
with the Plan. The grant and exercise of the Option are subject to interpretations, regulations
and determinations concerning the Plan established from time to time by the Committee in accordance

or listing of the shares of Company Stock, (c) changes in capitalization of the Company and (d)
other requirements of applicable law. The Committee shall have the authority to interpret and

any questions arising hereunder.

9. No Employment or Other Rights. The grant of the Option shall not confer upon the
Grantee any right to be retained by or in the employ or service of the Employer and shall not
interfere in any way with the right of the Employer to terminate the Grantee’s employment or
service at any time. The right of the Employer to terminate the Grantee’s employment or service at
any time for any reason is specifically reserved.

10. No Stockholder Rights. Neither the Grantee, nor any person entitled to exercise the
Grantee’s rights in the event of the Grantee’s death, shall have any of the rights and privileges
of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Company Stock subject to the Option, until
certificates for shares of Company Stock have been issued upon the exercise of the Option.

11. Assignment and Transfers. Except as the Committee may otherwise permit pursuant to the
Plan, the rights and interests of the Grantee under this Grant may not be sold, assigned,
encumbered or otherwise transferred except, in the event of the death of the Grantee, by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution. In the event of any attempt by the Grantee to alienate,
assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of the Option or any right hereunder, except as
provided for in this Grant, or in the event of the levy or any attachment, execution or similar
process upon the rights or interests hereby conferred, the Company may terminate the Option by
notice to the Grantee, and the Option and all rights hereunder shall thereupon become null and
void. The rights and protections of the Company hereunder shall extend to any successors or
assigns of the Company and to the Company’s parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates. This Grant may
be assigned by the Company without the Grantee’s consent.
