     THIS SECOND AMENDMENT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of June 23, 2005 by and

referred to below as Lenders (the “Lenders”), Wells Fargo Retail Finance, LLC, as the arranger,
collateral and administrative agent for the Lender Group and any other holder of Obligations (in
such capacity, “Agent”), and, on the other hand, Party City Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(the “Borrower”).

     Introduction

     Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent have entered into a Loan and Security Agreement dated as
of January 9, 2003, as previously amended by the First Amendment Agreement dated as of February 10,
2005 (as so amended and otherwise amended to the date hereof, as amended hereby and as amended,
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time hereafter, the “Loan Agreement”)
pursuant to which the Lenders and the Agent have agreed to make revolving credit loans and to
provide other financial accommodations to Borrower.

     Borrower desires to enter into a factoring arrangement with The CIT Group/ Commercial
Services, Inc. (“CIT”) pursuant to which Borrower will sell to CIT certain Accounts owing to
Borrower by certain of its franchisees in respect of Inventory sold by Borrower to such franchisees
in accordance with the term of the CIT Factoring Documents referred to below. Borrower has
requested that the Loan Agreement be amended to permit and provide for such factoring arrangement,
and the Agent and the Lenders have agreed to so amend the Loan Agreement on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Amendment.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants herein contained,
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties signatory hereto agree as follows.

long as: (i) the terms and conditions of such refinancings,

 

 

renewals, or extensions do not, in
Agent’s reasonable judgment, materially impair the prospects of repayment of the Obligations by
Borrower or materially impair Borrower’s creditworthiness, (ii) such refinancings, renewals, or
extensions do not result in an increase in the principal amount of the Indebtedness so refinanced,
renewed, or extended or add one or more of the Borrower as liable with respect thereto if such
additional Borrower were not liable with respect to the original Indebtedness, (iii) such
refinancings, renewals, or extensions do not result in a shortening of the average weighted
maturity of the Indebtedness so refinanced, renewed, or extended, nor are they on terms or
conditions, that, taken as a whole, are materially more burdensome or restrictive to the Borrower,
and (iv) if the Indebtedness that is refinanced, renewed, or extended was subordinated in right of
payment to the Obligations, then the terms and conditions of the refinancing, renewal, or extension

income or profits therefrom, except for (a) Permitted Liens (including Liens that are replacements
of Permitted Liens to the extent that the original Indebtedness is refinanced, renewed, or extended
under Section 7.1(d) and so long as the replacement Liens only encumber those assets that secured
the refinanced, renewed, or extended Indebtedness), (b) Liens referenced in Section 3.2(b) hereof
whose existence in the amounts set forth in such Section (plus accrued interest) will not be an
Event of Default under this section unless and until the Borrower fails to satisfy the conditions
set forth therein, and (c) the Liens of CIT on the Factored Accounts (and the proceeds and
supporting obligations thereof) as more fully described in Section 11 of the CIT Factoring

Second Amendment Date and that have been designated as “Factor Risk Accounts” under the CIT

the CIT Factoring Agreement so long as no later than the 15th day of each calendar month, Borrower provides the Agent with a listing of any additional franchisees
whose Accounts Borrower has begun factoring under the CIT Factoring Agreement during the preceding

          Bank and such other financial institutions which are or may from time
          to time become parties to the Credit Agreement (the "Lenders"), and
          Comerica Bank, in its capacity as Administrative Agent for the Lenders
          ("Agent")

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Reference is made to the Credit Agreement. Except as specifically defined
to the contrary herein, capitalized terms used in this Consent shall have the
meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

     TABB Realty has advised the Agent and the Lenders that it proposes to enter
into certain real estate related refinancing with PNC Bank ("PNC"), and, to
facilitate such refinancing, has requested the Agent to discharge the Mortgages
granted to it by Tabb Realty, terminate the Security Agreement as to TABB Realty
and release TABB Realty from its obligations under the Guaranty. TABB Realty has
provided to the Agent and the Lenders a Summary of Loan Terms and Conditions
with respect to the proposed refinancing and a certificate of the Treasurer of
Holdings, copies of which are attached as Exhibits A and B, respectively. TABB
Realty has further advised the Agent and the Lenders that PNC has requested that
Packaging cause a $1 million Letter of Credit to be issued to TABB Realty as
required (in lieu of a security deposit) under the leases between Plastipak
Packaging Inc., and Clean Tech, Inc., as tenants, and TABB Realty, as landlord
(the "TABB Letter of Credit"), which Letter of Credit is to be assigned by TABB
Realty to PNC as beneficiary as additional security for such refinancing.

     Section 12.12(c) of the Credit Agreement provides that upon the
satisfaction of certain conditions, a Real Estate Lien Release may occur. The
Lenders consent to (i) the execution and delivery by the Agent of the letter in
the form of Exhibit C terminating the Security Agreement and the Guaranty as to
TABB Realty and releasing TABB Realty from its obligations thereunder and (ii)
the issuance of the TABB Letter of Credit by the Issuing Bank.
<PAGE>
     The Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders also agree that (i) the Credit
Agreement is amended by deleting Schedules 6.23, 8.1, 8.2 and 8.7 and replacing
them with Schedules 6.23, 8.1, 8.2 and 8.7 attached hereto, effective, with
respect to Schedules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.7 as of the Effective Date of the Credit
Agreement, and with respect to Schedule 6.23 effective as of the date hereof and
(ii) for all purposes under the Credit Agreement, TABB Realty shall not be
considered a Borrower but shall be considered a Subsidiary except, for purposes
of Sections 8.10 (Limitation on Negative Pledge Clauses), 8.13 (Modification of
Certain Agreements), and 9.1(i) (Events of Default; Judgments).

     The Borrowers and their Subsidiaries agree not to amend that certain
Contribution Agreement to be dated on or about September 9, 2005, by and among
the Borrowers and TABB Realty, without the prior written consent of the Majority
Lenders.

     The date under Section 7.17 of the Credit Agreement by which the Credit
Parties are required to cause Plastipak Czech Republic S.R.O. to execute and
deliver the Loan Documents described in Section 5.10 of the Credit Agreement is
hereby extended to the date which is ninety (90) days from the effective date
hereof. This extension shall be deemed effective as of July 27, 2005.

     This Consent shall be effective upon the first date (but not later than
September 9, 2005) upon which the Agent shall have received counterpart
originals of this Consent, in each case duly executed and delivered by the
Borrowers, all Lenders, and the Guarantors.

     The Borrowers shall reimburse the Agent for all of its costs and expenses,
including, without limitation, legal expenses, incurred in connection with the
preparation, execution and delivery of this Consent.

     This Consent may be executed by one or more parties hereto in any number of
separate counterparts, all of which counterparts shall be deemed to constitute
one and same instrument.

     By its execution hereof, each of the Guarantors consents to the foregoing
Consent and reaffirms and ratifies all of its obligations to the Agent and the
Lenders under the Guaranty.
