 ARTICLE 3 
  
 SEVERANCE BENEFITS 
  
 3.1 Involuntary Termination. Subject to the execution and
delivery of a valid waiver and release substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto and other conditions set forth below, each Participant who is terminated by the Company without Cause or terminates his or her own employment with the
Company for Good Reason shall be entitled to severance pay and other benefits under the Plan in the amount set forth in Sections 3.2 and 3.3 below. To the fullest extent permitted by law, a Participant’s eligibility for severance pay and other
benefits under the Plan shall be reasonably determined by the Committee. 
  
 3.2 Amount of Severance Pay. 
  
 (a) The amount of severance pay to which any Participant is entitled under the Plan shall be equal to: 
  

	 	(i)	the Participant’s Monthly Pay Rate (as defined below) multiplied by six; provided, however, that if termination of employment occurs upon or within two years after a Change in
Control the Participant’s Monthly Pay Rate shall be multiplied by twelve; plus 

  

 3 

	 	(ii)	the bonus amount, if any, that the Participant would have been entitled to under the bonus arrangements applicable to the Participant had the Participant remained employed until the
end of the calendar year multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of full months of employment during the calendar year and the denominator of which shall be 12; and 

  

	 	(iii)	shall be reduced by any other payments in the nature of severance pay to which the Participant is otherwise entitled from the Company pursuant to any other contract, policy or
agreement with the Company or any Federal, state or local law including but not limited to payments under the Federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN). 

  
 (b) Compensation otherwise payable to a Participant upon a termination of
employment without regard to the reason for such termination shall not be deemed to be in the nature of severance pay and shall not be an offset to any payments under the Plan. 
  
 (c) “Monthly Pay Rate” means one twelfth of the greater of (i) the Participant’s annual salary rate in effect
on the date of termination, or (ii) the Participant’s actual regular salary paid for the twelve months immediately preceding his or her date of termination of employment for all services rendered to the Company. 
  
 (d) There shall be no duplication of severance benefits in any manner. In
this regard, no Participant shall be entitled to severance pay hereunder for more than one position with the Company. 
  
 (e) A Participant shall not be obligated to secure new employment, and severance payments under the Plan shall not be subject to mitigation except as
provided in Section 3.2 (a) (iii) hereof for other severance pay by the Company and by Section 3.3 for determining continuing eligibility for health benefits coverage, but shall be obligated to report promptly any actual employment obtained to the
Company during the period of severance. 
  
 3.3 Other
Benefits. Participants shall be entitled to continue their participation in the Company’s health and life insurance benefit plans (but not any disability plans or qualified retirement plans) for a period following their termination of
employment equal to their period of severance benefits, except such coverage shall expire if the Participant becomes eligible for coverage under a substantially comparable plan of a successor employer or an employer of a family member or domestic
partner of the Participant. In the case of any health and life insurance benefit plans, nothing herein shall be deemed to restrict the right of the Company from amending or terminating any such plan in a manner generally applicable to active
employees, and Participants shall be entitled to participate on the same basis (including payment of 
  

 4 

 applicable contributions) as active employees. Participants shall be entitled to outplacement counseling with an
outplacement firm of the Company’s selection, for a period not to exceed six months after termination of employment. 
  
 3.4 Payment. The Company shall commence payment, in cash, of severance pay in the aggregate amount set forth in Section 3.2 hereof, not
later than the eighth day following the later of the Participant’s termination of employment or the Company’s receipt of the Participant’s duly executed and unrevoked waiver and release. Such payment shall be made in equal
installments payable over the period of 6 or, if applicable, 12 months determined under Section 3.2(a)(i) (the “Severance Period”) in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices, or as otherwise mutually agreed by the Company and
the Participant. 
  
 3.5 Equity Awards. In the event
of a termination of employment upon or within two years after a Change of Control: (a) the Participant’s equity awards (e.g., stock options, restricted stock, etc.) under either the 2002 Factory Card & Party Outlet Stock Option Plan
or the 2003 Factory Card & Party Outlet Corp. Equity Incentive Plan shall become fully exercisable, vested, and nonforfeitable as of such termination of employment; and (b) the Participant’s restricted stock awards granted as contemplated
by the Company’s Amended Plan of Reorganization shall become fully exercisable, vested, and nonforfeitable as of such termination of employment. 
  
 3.6 Waiver and Release. In order to receive benefits under the Plan, a Participant must submit a signed Waiver and Release Agreement to the
Company on or within forty-five (45) days of his or her date of termination of employment substantially in the form of the Waiver and Release Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A, with any changes thereto approved by Company’s counsel prior
to execution. A Participant may revoke his or her signed Waiver and Release Agreement within seven (7) days of his or her signing the Waiver and Release Agreement. 
  
 Any such revocation must be made in writing and must be received by the Company within such seven (7) day period. A
Participant who timely revokes his or her Waiver and Release Agreement shall not be eligible to receive any severance pay under the Plan. A Participant who timely-submits a signed Waiver and Release Agreement form and who does not exercise his or
her right of revocation shall be eligible to receive severance pay under the Plan. 
  
 3.7 Non-Competition. No severance pay shall be paid during any period in which the Participant engages in a Competing Business or in Solicitation or after the Participant has disclosed Confidential
Information, and in consideration of severance pay the Participant will not, during the Severance Period, engage in a Competing Business or in Solicitation or disclose Confidential Information. 
  
 (a) The prohibition on engaging in a Competing Business set forth in this
Section 3.7 shall mean participating, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever including, without limitation, either individually, or in partnership, jointly or in conjunction with any other person, firm or corporation, or as employee,
principal, agent, director, officer, investor, lender, consultant or shareholder (other than by way of less than five percent (5%) ownership of stock in a publicly traded company or limited partnership); provided, however, that such participation

  

 5 

 shall not include any activity engaged in with the prior written approval of the Committee. For purposes of this Plan,
“Competing Business” shall mean any entity or business: (i) engaged in the operation of retail stores for the primary purpose of selling greeting cards, gift wrap and party supplies and which operates such retail stores in any market in
which the Company is operating a retail store at the time of the Participant’s termination of employment, or a market into which the Participant knows the Company is intending to enter; or (ii) is engaged in the primary business of the
manufacture and distribution of greeting cards, gift wrap and party supplies. 
  
 (b) For purposes of this Plan, “Solicitation” shall mean recruiting, soliciting or inducing, directly or indirectly, any non-clerical employee or employees of the Company or any advisor or consultant to the
Company to terminate their employment, or otherwise cease their relationship with the Company or hiring, retaining or assisting another person or entity to hire or retain any employee of the Company or any advisor or consultant to the Company or any
person who within six (6) months before had been a non-clerical employee, advisor or consultant of the Company or any of its Affiliates. 
  
 (c) The Company owns and has developed, and will develop, certain proprietary techniques and confidential information which have great value to its
business (referred to for purposes of this Section 3.7 as collectively as “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information includes not only information disclosed by the Company to the Participant, but also information developed or
learned by the Participant during the course or as a result of employment with the Company, which information is the property of the Company. Confidential Information includes all information that has or could have commercial value or other utility
in the business in which the Company is engaged or in any business in which the Participant is aware the Company is contemplating engaging, and all information of which the unauthorized disclosure could be detrimental to the interests of the
Company, whether or not such information is specifically labeled as Confidential Information by the Company. By way of example and without limitation, Confidential Information includes any and all information developed, obtained or owned by the
Company concerning trade secrets, techniques, know-how, business plans, strategies, forecasts, unpublished financial information, orders, agreements and other forms of documents, price and cost information, merchandising opportunities, expansion
plans, store plans, budgets, projections, customer, supplier and subcontractor identities, characteristics and agreements, and salary, staffing and employment information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include any
information which (i) was in the public domain at the time of receipt by the Participant or thereafter without breach or violation of this Section 3.7, or (ii) was furnished to the Participant by a third party lawfully entitled to do so and not
known to the Participant to be bound by a confidentiality agreement to the Company. The Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, use, make available, sell, disclose or otherwise communicate to any corporation, partnership, individual or other
third party, other than in the course of the Participant’s assigned duties and for the benefit of the Company, any Confidential Information. In the event that the Participant is requested (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for
information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, the Participant agrees to notify the Company promptly of such request(s) and the documents requested thereby so that the
Company may seek an appropriate protective order and/or waive in writing the Participant’s compliance with the provisions of this Plan. It is further agreed that, if in the absence of a 
  

 6 

 protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder the Participant is nonetheless, in the opinion of the
Participant’s counsel, compelled to disclose such Confidential Information or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty from the tribunal or governmental or similar authority, the Participant may disclose such
information without liability hereunder, provided, however, that the Participant shall give the Company written notice of the information to be so disclosed as far in advance of its disclosure as is practicable and shall use the Participant’s
best efforts to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the information required to be disclosed at the Company designates. In the event the Participant’s employment with the
Company ceases for any reason, the Participant will not remove from the Company’s premises without its prior written consent any records, files, drawings, documents, equipment, materials and writings received from, created for or belonging to
the Company, including those which relate to or contain Confidential Information, or any copies thereof. When employment with the Company terminates, the Participant will immediately deliver the same to the Company. 
  
 ARTICLE 4 
  
 CLAIMS 
  
 4.1 Good Reason Determination. Any Participant believing he or
she has a right to resign for Good Reason may apply to the Committee for written confirmation that an event constituting Good Reason has occurred with respect to such Participant. The Committee shall confirm or deny in writing that Good Reason
exists within 21 days following receipt of any such application. Any confirmation of Good Reason by the Committee shall be binding on the Company. 
  
 4.2 Claims Procedure. If any Participant has a claim for benefits which are not being paid, such claimant may file with the Committee a
written claim setting forth the amount and nature of the claim, supporting facts, and the claimant’s address. The Committee shall notify each claimant of its decision in writing by registered or certified mail within 30 days after its receipt
of a claim, unless otherwise agreed by the claimant. If a claim is denied, the written notice of denial shall set forth the reasons for such denial, refer to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based, describe any additional material or
information necessary for the claimant to realize the claim, and explain the claim review procedure under the Plan. 
  
 4.3 Claims Review Procedure. A claimant whose claim has been denied or such claimant’s duly authorized representative may file, within
60 days after notice of such denial is received by the claimant, a written request for review of such claim by the Committee. If a request is so filed, the Committee shall review the claim and notify the claimant in writing of its decision within 30
days after receipt of such request. In special circumstances, the Committee may extend for up to 30 additional days the deadline for its decision. The notice of the final decision of the Committee shall include the reasons for its decision and
specific references to the Plan provisions on which the decision is based. The decision of the Committee shall be final and binding on all parties.

 5.4 Exculpation. No member of the Committee shall be directly
or indirectly responsible or otherwise liable by reason of any action or default as a member of that committee, or by reason of the exercise of or failure to exercise any power or discretion as such member, except for any action, default, exercise

 5.5 Indemnification. The
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee against any and all expenses and liabilities arising out of his or her own membership on the Committee, except for expenses and liabilities arising out of a member’s gross

 ARTICLE 6 
  
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  
 6.1 Non-Property Interest. The Plan is unfunded. Severance pay shall be paid from the general assets of the Company and any liability of the Company to any person with respect to benefits payable under
the Plan shall give rise to a claim as an unsecured creditor against the general assets of the Company. Any Participant who may have or claim any interest in or right to any compensation, payment or benefit payable hereunder, shall rely solely upon
the unsecured promise of the Company for the payment thereof, and nothing herein contained shall be construed to give to or vest in the Participant or any other person now or at any time in the future, any right, title, interest or claim in or to
any specific asset, fund, reserve, account, insurance or annuity policy or contract, or other property of any kind whatsoever owned by the Company, or in which the Company may have any right, title or interest now or at any time in the future.

  
 6.2 Other Rights. The Plan shall not affect or
impair the rights or obligations of the Company or a Participant under any other written plan, contract, arrangement, or pension, profit sharing or other compensation plan. 
  
 6.3 Amendment or Termination. The Plan may be amended, modified, suspended, or terminated by the Company at
any time; provided, however, that prior to July 1, 2005 (i) no such amendment, modification, suspension or termination shall adversely affect the rights of any Participant without his or her written approval and (ii) no amendment or modification may
be made to Article 5 or the definition of “Committee”. 
  
 6.4 Severability. If any term or condition of the Plan shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent or in any application, then the remainder of the Plan, with the exception of such invalid or unenforceable provision, shall
not be affected thereby and shall continue in effect and application to its fullest extent. If, however, the Committee determines in its sole discretion that any term or condition of the Plan which is invalid or unenforceable is material to the
interests of the Company, the Committee may declare the Plan null and void in its entirety. 
  
 6.5 No Employment Rights. Neither the establishment of the Plan, any provisions of the Plan, nor any action of the Committee shall be held or construed to confer upon any employee the right to a
continuation of employment by the Company. Subject to any applicable employment agreement, the Company reserves the right to dismiss any employee, or otherwise deal with any employee to the same extent as though the Plan had not been adopted.

  
 6.6 Transferability of Rights. This Plan shall
inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the Company and its successors and permitted assigns and upon the Participants and their respective heirs, executors, and legal representatives. The Company shall have the 
  

 9 

 unrestricted right to transfer its obligations under the Plan with respect to one or more Participants to any person,
including, but not limited to, any purchaser of all or any part of the Company’s business. No Participant shall have any right to commute, encumber, transfer or otherwise dispose of or alienate any present or future right or expectancy which
the Participant may have at any time to receive payments of benefits hereunder, which benefits and the right thereto are expressly declared to be non-assignable and nontransferable, except to the extent required by law. Any attempt to transfer or
assign a benefit, or any rights granted hereunder, by a Participant shall, in the sole discretion of the Committee (after consideration of such facts as it deems pertinent), be grounds for terminating any rights of the Participant to any portion of
the Plan benefits not previously paid. 
  
 6.7 Entire
Document. The Plan, as set forth herein, supersedes any and all prior practices, understandings, agreements, descriptions or other non-written arrangements respecting severance, including but not limited to the Factory Card & Party
Outlet Corporation Amended Management Severance Plan (effective June 29, 2000), except for written employment or severance contracts signed by the Company. 
  
 6.8 Plan Year. The fiscal records of the Plan shall be kept on the basis of a plan year which is the calendar year. The first plan year
shall be a short plan year beginning July 1, 2004 and ending December 31, 2004. 
  
 6.9 Governing Law. The Plan shall be construed, administered, and enforced according to the laws of the State of Illinois, except to the extent that such laws are preempted by the federal laws of the
United States of America. 
  
 EXECUTED as of this 14th day of July 2004.

Plan”) and this Release, Executive hereby agrees as follows:

shipment by Factory Card to Paramount of the returned seasonal Greeting Cards for a given Season, Paramount will promptly issue a memorandum credit in an amount equal to Factory Card’s calculation. The memorandum credit for such Season is not
available for application by Factory Card.. Upon Paramount’s reprocessing of the returned seasonal Greeting Cards for a given Season, Paramount will issue a credit invoice for such Season which would then be available for application by Factory
Card. The credit will be issued by Paramount no later than * following the receipt of the product by Paramount. The credit will be equal to Factory Card’s calculation unless Paramount’s calculation of the credit for such Season is * than
Factory Card’s calculation (in which case Paramount shall issue a credit in accordance with its good faith calculation and the Parties shall in good faith attempt to resolve such dispute as set forth in the following paragraph).

  

	 	F.	In the event the credit amount as determined by Paramount is * than the amount of credit due as calculated by Factory Card the actual seasonal card purchase and POS sales data,
adjusted for a * shrink factor, for such Season from * of Factory Card Covered Stores chosen randomly after the end of such Season will be used to settle any such discrepancies and the credit issued by Paramount will be available during the
settlement of such discrepancies. * Any dispute not promptly resolved in accordance with the foregoing procedures shall be submitted by the Parties for arbitration in accordance with Section 19 hereof with expedited discovery. Prior to

practicable. Any dispute not resolved in accordance with the procedure set forth above shall be submitted by the Parties for arbitration in accordance with Section 19 hereof with expedited discovery.
