outstanding and exercisable until their expiration date (the “Extended Vesting Period”) (i.e., the date that is ten (10) years following the applicable date of grant) notwithstanding any termination of the Executive’s
employment following the Effective Date (or, if later, the date on which such stock options vest after the Effective Date but while the Executive remains employed by the Company and Holdco); provided that such stock options will be forfeited
for no consideration if the Executive’s employment is terminated by Holdco or the Company for Cause (or the Board determines in good faith that Cause exists at the time the Executive’s employment terminates) or the Executive violates the

 -3- 

 (B) (x) any restricted stock units (including performance stock units) of Holdco that are

hereby agrees that all performance-based options granted pursuant to that certain Nonqualified Stock Option Award Agreement by and between Holdco and the Executive, dated on or about April 1, 2013 will be forfeited as of the Effective Date for

 4. Termination of Employment. Upon a termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company and Holdco
for any reason, if the Executive is then serving on the Board or in any other capacity with Holdco or its affiliates, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Holdco, his service on the Board (and in any other applicable capacity) will automatically
terminate at the time of such termination of employment. The Executive agrees to take any action requested in good faith by Holdco in connection with the foregoing to reflect such cessation of service on the Board (or in any other applicable
capacity). In addition: 
 (a) Death or Permanent Disability. The Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon the
Executive’s death during the Employment Period. The Company or Holdco shall be entitled to terminate the Executive’s employment because of the Executive’s Permanent Disability during the Employment Period. “Permanent
Disability” means that the Executive (i) is unable to perform his duties under this Agreement by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for
a continuous period of not less than 12 months; (ii) is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12
months receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Company; or (iii) has been determined to be totally disabled by the Social Security
Administration. A termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or Holdco for Permanent Disability shall be communicated to the Executive by written notice and shall be effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by
the Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”), unless the Executive returns to full-time 

  
 -4- 

 
performance of the Executive’s duties in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 before such 30th day. In the event of a dispute
as to whether the Executive has suffered a Permanent Disability, the final determination shall be made by a licensed physician selected by the Board and acceptable to the Executive in the Executive’s reasonable judgment. 

(b) Other than Death or Disability. The Company or Holdco may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time during the
Employment Period with or without Cause upon notice to the Executive. 
 (c) Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his employment
at any time during the Employment Period for Good Reason, upon written notice to the Company setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such Good Reason, as set forth below. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” is
defined as any one or more of the following: any attempt to relocate the Executive to a work location that is more than 100 miles from the Company’s offices in Elmsford, New York; any material diminution in the nature or scope of the
Executive’s responsibilities or duties as defined under this Agreement (provided that a change in reporting relationships resulting from the direct or indirect control of the Company or Holdco (or a successor corporation) by another corporation
or other person(s) shall not be deemed to constitute “Good Reason”); any material breach by the Company or any affiliate of the Company of any provision of this Agreement or any other written agreement with the Executive, which breach is
not cured within twenty (20) days following written notice by the Executive to the Company; or any material failure of the Company to provide the Executive with at least the Annual Base Salary and/or any other compensation or benefits in
accordance with the terms of Section 3 hereof, other than an inadvertent failure which is cured within ten (10) business days following written notice from the Executive specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such failure.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the appointment of an interim Vice Chairman during any period of the Executive’s disability (which may potentially result in a Permanent Disability) will not be considered “Good Reason” (so long
as the Executive continues to be compensated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), until the occurrence of a Permanent Disability as defined in Section 4(a). 

(d) Change in Control. If there occurs a “Change in Control” (as hereinafter defined) during the Employment Period, and
the Executive is not offered employment on substantially similar terms by Holdco or one of its continuing affiliates immediately thereafter, then, for all purposes of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment shall be deemed to have been
terminated by the Company effective as of the date of such Change in Control; provided, however, that neither the Company nor Holdco shall have any obligation to the Executive under this Section 4 if the Executive is hired or
offered employment on substantially similar terms by the purchaser of the stock or assets of Holdco or the Company, if the Executive’s employment hereunder is continued by Holdco or one of its continuing affiliates, or if the Executive does not
actually terminate employment. As used herein, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred upon the occurrence of any of the following events: 

(i) a change in the ownership of Holdco within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v) as in effect on the date hereof; 

  
 -5- 

 (ii) a change in the effective control of Holdco within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(vi)(2) as in effect on the date hereof; or 

(iii) a change in the ownership of all or substantially all of Holdco’s assets. 

(e) Date of Termination. The “Date of Termination” means the date of the Executive’s death, the Disability
Effective Date or the date on which the termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company and Holdco, or by the Executive, is effective, as the case may be, including by reason of the expiration of the Employment Period. 

5. Obligations of the Company Upon Termination. 

(a) By the Company Upon the Executive’s Death or Permanent Disability. If the Executive dies during the Employment Period or the
Company or Holdco terminates the Executive’s employment due to the Executive’s Permanent Disability, the Company shall pay the Executive or his legal representative the Executive’s accrued but unpaid cash compensation (the
“Accrued Obligations”), which shall equal the sum of (1) any portion of the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination that has not yet been paid; (2) any 2020 Bonus that the Executive has earned
pursuant to Section 3(b), if not previously paid; and (3) any accrued but unpaid vacation pay.

has been renewed by mutual written agreement in accordance with Section 1) paid in accordance with Section 3(a), (C) the 2020 Option Grant and any other then unvested stock options held by the Executive will, subject to their otherwise
applicable terms, continue to vest as though the Executive remained employed by the Company and Holdco through each applicable vesting date (to the extent not previously vested), and (D) any restricted stock units (including performance stock
units) of Holdco that are held by the Executive, subject to their otherwise applicable terms, shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest as though the Executive remained employed by the Company and Holdco through each applicable vesting date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Executive shall not be entitled to any payment pursuant to clause (B), (C) or (D) of this Section 5(c) unless the Executive shall have, at the written request of the Company or
Holdco, executed a release of any and all legal claims in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”) no later than forty-five (45) days following the Date of Termination and shall not have revoked the Release
in accordance with its terms. 
 (d) By the Executive other than for Good Reason. If during the Employment Period the Executive
terminates his employment with the Company and Holdco other than for Good Reason, (x) the Company shall pay the Accrued Obligations to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination (except for the
2020 Bonus which, if not previously paid, shall be paid in accordance with Section 3(b)) and neither the Company nor Holdco shall have any further obligation under this Agreement, and (y) if such termination occurs prior to

Section 5(e) unless the Executive shall have, at the written request of the Company, executed the Release no later than forty-five (45) days following the Date of Termination and shall not have revoked the Release in accordance with its
terms. Upon expiration of the Employment Period, no Severance Payment will be due and no further Restriction Period shall apply.

 6. Section 409A. The parties intend for the compensation provided under this
Agreement to comply with, or be exempt from, the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (together with the regulations thereunder,
“Section 409A”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company, Holdco or any of their respective affiliates have any liability to the Executive or to any other person claiming rights under this
Agreement relating to the failure or alleged failure of any payment or benefit under this Agreement to comply with, or be exempt from, the provisions of Section 409A. 

(a) Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to “termination of employment” and similar or correlative
phrases shall be construed to require a “separation from service” (as defined in Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury regulations after giving effect to the presumptions contained therein), and
the term “specified employee” means an individual determined by Holdco to be a specified employee under Treasury regulation Section 1.409A-1(i). 

(b) Certain Delayed Payments. If any payment or benefit hereunder constituting “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to
Section 409A would be subject to subsection (a)(2)(B)(i) of Section 409A (relating to payments made to “specified employees” of publicly-traded companies upon separation from service), any such payment or benefit to which the
Executive would otherwise be entitled during the six (6) month period following the Executive’s separation from service will instead be provided or paid without interest on the first business day following the expiration of such six
(6) month period, or if earlier, the date of the Executive’s death. 
 (c) Separate Payments. Each payment made under this
Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. 
 (d) Reimbursements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
any reimbursement that constitutes or could constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A will be subject to the following additional requirements: (i) the expenses eligible for reimbursement will have been incurred
during the term of this Agreement, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during any calendar year will not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year; (iii) reimbursement will be made not
later than December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred; and (iv) the right to reimbursement will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. 

7. Full Settlement. The Company’s obligations to make the payments provided for in, and otherwise to perform its obligations under,
this Agreement shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action that the Company may have against the Executive or others. In no event shall the Executive
be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced, regardless of whether the Executive
obtains other employment. 

  
 -8- 

 8. Confidential Information. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the
benefit of the Company and Holdco all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company, Holdco or any company affiliated with the Company or Holdco and their respective businesses that the Executive obtains during the
Executive’s employment by the Company and Holdco (whether before, during or after the Employment Period) and that is not public knowledge (other than as a result of the Executive’s violation of this Section 8) (“Confidential
Information”). The Executive shall not communicate, divulge or disseminate Confidential Information at any time during or after the Executive’s employment with the Company and Holdco, except with the prior written consent of the
Company or as otherwise required by law. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) nothing contained in the Agreement or any other agreement containing confidentiality provisions or other restrictive covenants in favor of any the Company or any of its
affiliates or subsidiaries shall be construed to limit, restrict or in any other way affect the Executive’s communicating with any governmental agency or entity, or communicating with any official or staff person of a governmental agency or
entity, concerning matters relevant to the governmental agency or entity and (b) the Executive will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for disclosing a trade secret (i) in confidence to a
federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (ii) in a complaint or other document filed under seal in a
lawsuit or other proceeding; provided that notwithstanding this immunity from liability, the Executive may be held liable if the Executive unlawfully accesses trade secrets by unauthorized means. 

9. Noncompetition; Nonsolicitation. 

(a) Non-Competition. During the Restriction Period (as hereinafter defined), the Executive shall
not directly or indirectly participate in or permit his name directly or indirectly to be used by or become associated with (including as an advisor, representative, agent, promoter, independent contractor, provider of personal services or
otherwise) any person, corporation, partnership, firm, association or other enterprise or entity (a “person”) that is, or intends to be, engaged in any business which is in competition with any business of the Company, Holdco or any of
their respective subsidiaries or controlled affiliates in any geographic area in which the Company, Holdco or any of their respective subsidiaries or controlled affiliates operate, compete or are engaged in such business or at such time intend so to
operate, compete or become engaged in such business (a “Competitor”); provided, however, that the foregoing will not prohibit the Executive from participating in or becoming associated with a person if (i) less
than 10% of the consolidated gross revenues of such person, together with its affiliates, derive from activities or businesses that are in competition with any business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or controlled affiliates (a
“Competitive Business”) and (ii) the Executive does not, directly or indirectly, participate in, become associated with, or otherwise have responsibilities that relate to the conduct or operations of, any Competitive Business
that is conducted by such person or a division, group, or subsidiary or affiliate of such person. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “participate” includes any direct or indirect interest, whether as an officer, director, employee,
partner, sole proprietor, trustee, beneficiary, agent, representative, independent contractor, consultant, advisor, provider of personal services, creditor, or owner (other than by ownership of less than five percent of the stock of a publicly-held
corporation whose stock is traded on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market). 

  
 -9- 

 (b) Non-Solicitation. During the Restriction
Period, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, encourage or solicit, or assist any other person or firm in encouraging or soliciting, any person that during the three-year period preceding such termination of the Executive’s
employment with the Company and Holdco (or, if such action occurs during the Employment Period, on the date such action was taken) is or was engaged in a business relationship with the Company or Holdco, any of their respective subsidiaries or
controlled affiliates to terminate its relationship with the Company or Holdco or any of their respective subsidiaries or controlled affiliates or to engage in a business relationship with a Competitor. 

(c) No Hire. During the Restriction Period, the Executive will not, except with the prior written consent of the Company, directly or
indirectly, induce any employee of the Company, Holdco or any of their respective subsidiaries or controlled affiliates to terminate employment with such entity, and will not, directly or indirectly, either individually or as owner, agent, employee,
consultant or otherwise, employ, offer employment or cause employment to be offered to any person (including employment as an independent contractor) who is or was employed by the Company, Holdco or any of their respective subsidiaries or controlled
affiliates unless such person shall have ceased to be employed by such entity for a period of at least twelve months. For purposes of this Section 9(c), “employment” shall be deemed to include rendering services as an independent
contractor and “employees” shall be deemed to include independent contractors. 
 (d)
Non-Disparagement. Subject to the last sentence of Section 8, during the Restriction Period, the Executive shall not disparage the Company, Holdco or any of their respective officers, directors,
shareholders or any of their respective affiliates, disparage their business or professional capabilities, plans or management to any person, or do anything else to affect adversely the good will of the Company, Holdco or any of their affiliates.

 (e) Restriction Period. The term “Restriction Period” as used herein, shall mean the period beginning on the date
hereof and ending on the date that is twenty-four (24) months following the date on which the Executive’s employment with the Company and Holdco terminates for any reason. 

(f) Return of Confidential Information. Promptly following the Executive’s termination of employment, including due to expiration
of the Employment Period, the Executive shall return to the Company all property of the Company, Holdco and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, and all copies thereof, in the Executive’s possession or under his control, including,
without limitation, all Confidential Information in whatever media such Confidential Information is maintained. 
 (g) Injunctive
Relief. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Restriction Period and the covenants and obligations of the Executive in Section 8 and this Section 9 with respect to non-competition,
nonsolicitation and confidentiality and with respect to the property of the Company and its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates, and the territories covered thereby, are fair and reasonable and the result of negotiation. The Executive further
acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and obligations of the Executive in Section 8 and this Section 9 with respect to noncompetition, nonsolicitation and confidentiality and with respect to the property of the Company, Holdco and
their respective subsidiaries and controlled 

  
 -10- 

 
affiliates, and the territories covered thereby, relate to special, unique and extraordinary matters and that a violation of any of the terms of such covenants and obligations will cause the
Company, Holdco and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates irreparable injury for which adequate remedies are not available at law. Therefore, the Executive agrees that the Company and Holdco shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining
order or such other equitable relief as a court of competent jurisdiction may deem necessary or appropriate to restrain the Executive from committing any violation of such covenants and obligations. These injunctive remedies are cumulative and are
in addition to any other rights and remedies the Company and Holdco may have at law or in equity. If, at the time of enforcement of Section 8 and/or this Section 9, a court holds that any of the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable
under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope, and/or geographical area legally permissible under such circumstances will be substituted for the period, scope and/or area stated herein. 

10. Successors. 
 (a) This
Agreement is personal to the Executive and shall not be assignable by the Executive. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s legal representatives and heirs and successors. 

(b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Holdco, the Company and their respective successors and assigns. 

11. Section 280G. In the event that the Company undergoes a change in control after it (or any affiliate of the Company, including
Holdco, that would be treated, together with the Company, as a single corporation under Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder) has stock that is readily tradeable on an established securities market (within the meaning of
Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder), if all, or any portion, of the payments provided under this Agreement, either alone or together with other payments or benefits which the Executive receives or is entitled to receive
from the Company or an affiliate, could constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, then the Executive shall be entitled to receive (i) an amount limited so that no portion thereof
shall fail to be tax deductible under Section 280G of the Code (the “Limited Amount”), or (ii) if the amount otherwise payable hereunder (without regard to clause (i)) reduced by the excise tax imposed by Section 4999
of the Code and all other applicable federal, state and local taxes (with income taxes all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate) is greater than the Limited Amount reduced by all taxes applicable thereto (with income taxes all computed
at the highest marginal rate), the amount otherwise payable hereunder. If it is determined that the Limited Amount will maximize the Executive’s after-tax proceeds, payments and benefits shall be reduced
to equal the Limited Amount in the following order: (i) first, by reducing cash severance payments, (ii) second, by reducing other payments and benefits to which Q&A 24(c) of
Section 1.280G-1 of the Treasury Regulations does not apply, and (iii) finally, by reducing all remaining payments and benefits, with all such reductions done on a pro rata basis. All determinations
made pursuant this Section 11 will be made at the Company’s expense by the independent public accounting firm most recently serving as the Company’s outside auditors or such other accounting or benefits consulting group or firm as the
Company may designate.

 Exhibit A 

FORM OF RELEASE OF CLAIMS 

This Release of Claims is provided by me, James M. Harrison (or by my designated beneficiary, in the event of my death during my employment),
pursuant to the Employment Agreement between me, Party City Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and Party City Holdco Inc. (“Holdco”) dated as of March 11, 2020 (the “Employment Agreement”). 

This Release of Claims is given in consideration of the severance benefits to be provided to me (or, in the event of my death during my
employment, to my designated beneficiary) in connection with the termination of my employment under Section 5 of the Employment Agreement (the “Separation Payments”), which are conditioned on my signing this Release of Claims and to
which I am not otherwise entitled, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged. On my own behalf and that of my heirs, executors, administrators, beneficiaries, representatives and
assigns, and all others connected with or claiming through me, I hereby release and forever discharge the Company from any and all causes of action, rights or claims of any type or description, known or unknown, which I have had in the past, now
have or might have, through the date of my signing of this Release of Claims. This includes, without limitation, any and all causes of action, rights or claims in any way resulting from, arising out of or connected with my employment by the Company
or the termination of that employment or pursuant to any federal, state or local law, regulation or other requirement, including without limitation Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act, the fair employment practices statutes of the state or states in which I have provided services to the Company or any other federal, state, local or foreign law, all as amended, any contracts of employment, any tort
claims, or any agreements, plans or policies. Nothing in this Release of Claims shall be construed to prohibit me from filing a charge with or participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by the federal Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission or a comparable state or local agency, except that I hereby agree to waive my right to recover monetary damages or other individual relief in any charge, complaint or lawsuit filed by me or by anyone else on my behalf. 

For purposes of this Release of Claims, the word “Company” always includes the Company, Holdco the subsidiaries and affiliates of
the Company or Holdco and all of their respective past, present and future officers, directors, trustees, shareholders, employees, employee benefit plans and any of the trustees or administrators thereof, agents, general and limited partners,
members, managers, investors, joint venturers, representatives, predecessors, successors and assigns, and all others connected with any of them, both individually and in their official capacities. 

Excluded from the scope of this Release of Claims are any rights to benefits that were vested under the Company’s employee benefit plans
on the date on which my employment with the Company terminated, in accordance with the terms of such plans. 

  
 -i- 

 In signing this Release of Claims, I give the Company assurance that I have returned to the
Company any and all documents, materials and information related to the business, whether present or otherwise, of the Company and all keys and other property of the Company that were in my possession or control, all as required by and consistent
with Section 9(e) of the Employment Agreement. I agree that I will not, for any purpose, attempt to access or use any computer or computer network or system of the Company, including without limitation their electronic mail systems. I further
acknowledge that I have disclosed to the Company all passwords necessary or desirable to enable the Company to access all information which I have password-protected on its computer network or system. 

In signing this Release of Claims, I agree that I have been paid in full all compensation due to me, whether for services rendered by me to
the Company or otherwise, through the date on which my employment with the Company terminated and that, exclusive only of the Separation Payments, no further compensation of any kind shall be due to me by the Company, whether arising under the
Employment Agreement or otherwise, in connection with my employment or the termination thereof. I also agree that except for any right I and my eligible dependents may have to continue participation in the Company’s health and dental plans
under the federal law commonly known as COBRA, my right to participate in any employee benefit plan of the Company will be determined in accordance with the terms of such plan. 

I acknowledge that my eligibility for the Separation Payments is not only contingent on my signing and returning this Release of Claims to the
Company in a timely manner and not revoking it thereafter, but also is subject to my compliance with the covenants contained in the Employment Agreement. 

In signing this Release of Claims, acknowledge that I have not relied on any promises or representations, express or implied, that are not set
forth expressly in this Release of Claims. I further acknowledge that I am waiving and releasing any rights I may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (“ADEA”), and that this waiver and release is knowing
and voluntary and is being done with a full understanding of its terms. I agree that the consideration given for this waiver and release is in addition to anything of value to which I was already entitled. I further acknowledge that I have been
advised by this writing as required by the ADEA that: 
 1. I have the right to and am advised by the Company to consult with an attorney
prior to executing this Release of Claims; and I acknowledge that I have had sufficient time to consider this Release of Claims and to consult with an attorney, if I wished to do so, or to consult with any other person of my choosing before signing;

 2. I may not sign this Release of Claims prior to the termination of my employment, but that I may consider the terms of this Release of
Claims for up to twenty-one days (or, if the Company so instructs me in writing, for up to forty-five days) from the later of the date my employment with the Company terminates or the date I receive this
Release of Claims;

 Exhibit 10.30 

Execution Version 

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated as of the 11th day of March, 2020, by and between Party City
Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Party City Holdco Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdco”), and Brad Weston (the “Executive”) and effective as of April 1, 2020 (the
“Effective Date”). 
 WHEREAS, the Executive has served as President of Holdco and the Chief Executive Officer of Party
City Retail Group pursuant to an Employment Agreement (the “Prior Employment Agreement”) dated July 25, 2019 (the “Prior Agreement Effective Date”); and 

WHEREAS, the Company, Holdco and the Executive desire to set forth in this Agreement the terms and conditions under which the Executive will
be employed as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Holdco, effective as of the Effective Date. 
 NOW, THEREFORE,
IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS: 
 1. Employment Period. The Company and Holdco shall continue to employ the Executive, and the
Executive agrees to, and shall, serve the Company and Holdco, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, for the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2022, unless sooner terminated as set forth
hereinafter (the “Employment Period”). 
 2. Position and Duties. 

(a) Beginning on the Effective Date, the Executive shall serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and of Holdco with
such duties and responsibilities as are assigned to him by the Board of Directors of Holdco (the “Board”) consistent with his position as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Holdco, including, as the Board may
request, without additional compensation, to serve as an officer or director of certain of the subsidiaries and other affiliates of Holdco and/or the Company. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall report to the Board. On the Effective
Date, the Executive shall be appointed to the Board. 
 (b) During the Employment Period, and excluding any periods of vacation and sick
leave to which the Executive is entitled, the Executive shall devote his full attention and time during normal business hours to the business and affairs of the Company and Holdco and shall use his reasonable best efforts to carry out the
responsibilities assigned to the Executive faithfully and efficiently. It shall not be considered a violation of the foregoing for the Executive to (i) serve on civic or charitable boards or committees, (ii) deliver lectures, fulfill
speaking engagements or teach at educational institutions, (iii) serve on the board of directors of other companies, so long as the Board approves such appointments (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), or (iv) manage personal
investments, so long as such activities do not compete with and are not provided to or for any entity that competes with or intends to compete with the Company, Holdco or any of their respective subsidiaries and affiliates and do not interfere with
the performance of the Executive’s responsibilities as an employee of the Company or Holdco in accordance with this Agreement.

 3. Compensation and Expense Reimbursements. 

(a) Base Salary. Beginning on the Effective Date, the Executive shall receive from the Company an annual base salary of $1,050,000 (as
such amount may be increased from time to time, in the sole discretion of the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”), the “Annual Base Salary”), payable in regular intervals in accordance
with the Company’s customary payroll practices in effect during the Employment Period. 
 (b) Annual Bonus. In addition to the
Annual Base Salary, during the Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible to receive annual bonus compensation (the “Annual Bonus”) consistent with the Company’s bonus plan for key executives as in effect from time to
time (the “Bonus Plan”). The Annual Bonus (including any pro rata portion thereof, to the extent payable under this Agreement), if any, shall be paid no later than two and one-half months
following the end of the calendar year to which such Annual Bonus corresponds. During the Employment Period, the target amount of the Annual Bonus shall be 100% of the Annual Base Salary (the “Target Bonus Amount”), with the actual
amount of the Annual Bonus, if any, to be determined by the Board or the Committee in accordance with the Bonus Plan. For any applicable year (including calendar year 2020) during which the Annual Base Salary is increased, the Target Annual Bonus
shall be determined by appropriately adjusting the Target Annual Bonus based on the relative portions of the year that Annual Base Salary was at each respective level (e.g., for calendar year 2020, the Target Annual Bonus shall be based on
the Executive having an Annual Base Salary of $900,000 for the period from January 1, 2020 through March 31, 2020 and $1,050,000 for the remainder of calendar year 2020). Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, for any year during
which the Executive is employed by the Company and Holdco for less than the entire calendar year (including a year in which the Executive’s employment is terminated), the Annual Bonus, if any, shall be determined based on actual performance, pro-rated for the period during which the Executive was employed during such calendar year (based on the number of days in such calendar year the Executive was so employed divided by 365), as determined in good
faith by the Board or the Committee. 
 (c) Other Benefits; Car Allowance. During the Employment Period: (i) the Executive shall
be eligible to participate in all incentive, savings and retirement plans, practices, policies and programs of the Company and shall be entitled to paid vacation, to the same extent and on the same terms and conditions as peer executives; and
(ii) the Executive and/or the Executive’s family, as the case may be, shall be eligible for participation in, and shall receive all benefits under, all other welfare benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Company
(including, to the extent provided, without limitation, medical, prescription, dental, disability, employee life insurance, group life insurance, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and programs) to the same extent and on the same
terms and conditions as peer executives. The term “peer executives” means the Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice Presidents of the Company, if such positions exist, and if such positions do not exist, the definition of the term
“peer executives” shall be determined by the Board or the Committee in good faith. During the Employment Period, the Company will pay the Executive a monthly car allowance equal to $650, which will be paid not later than thirty
(30) days after the end of the month to which it relates. 

  
 -2- 

 (d) Incentive Equity Grants. 

(i) The Executive is eligible to receive incentive equity grants under the Company’s equity compensation program for
senior executives, subject to the terms of such program as in effect from time to time and with any grants under such program in the discretion of the Board or the Committee. 

(ii) Following the Prior Agreement Effective Date, the Executive was be awarded a
one-time grant of options to acquire 300,000 shares of Holdco’s common stock (the “Sign-On Options”), which were granted under and subject to the
terms of Holdco’s Amended and Restated 2012 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan and a stock option agreement with the Executive. 
 (e)
Relocation Expenses. 
 (i) The Company has reimbursed or shall reimburse the Executive for reasonable and customary
relocation expenses actually incurred by the Executive during the Employment Period as a direct result of his relocation to a location within reasonable commuting distance of the Company’s retail division executive offices in Rockaway, NJ or
the Company’s offices in Elmsford, NY (“Relocation Expenses”), subject to Company policies and to such reasonable substantiation and documentation as may be specified by the Company, including house-hunting visits for the
Executive as reasonably necessary; the cost of packing and moving the Executive’s household goods and the moving of automobiles to the Executive’s home in or around Rockaway, NJ or Elmsford, NY; the cost of temporary housing for the
Executive and his immediate family in or around Rockaway, NJ or Elmsford, NY (not to exceed 18 months in duration); the cost of temporary storage of the Executive’s household goods for a reasonable period of time; real estate commissions on the
purchase of a new home in or around Rockaway, NJ or Elmsford, NY; reasonable closing costs on a new home that is a reasonable commuting distance from Rockaway, NJ or Elmsford, NY; and airfare to the Rockaway, NJ or Elmsford, NY area for all members
of the Executive’s immediate family. For the avoidance of doubt, such reimbursable Relocation Expenses will not include payment of any losses in connection with any capital transaction, such as the sale of a home. In the event that any of the
reimbursements for Relocation Expenses are taxable to the Executive, the Company shall promptly make additional “gross up” payments to the Executive sufficient to cover such additional taxes (including taxes on the gross-up). The Company has paid or shall pay the Executive any amounts due to him in respect of Relocation Expenses within thirty (30) days after submission of written documentation substantiating such amounts.

  
 -3- 

 (ii) In the event that the Executive terminates his employment with the
Company other than for Good Reason (as defined below), or if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined below), the Executive will be required to repay (a) 100% of the gross amount of any Relocation Expenses
paid or reimbursed if such termination occurs within one year following the Prior Agreement Effective Date and (b) 50% of the gross amount of Relocation Expenses paid or reimbursed if such termination occurs more than one year from the Prior
Agreement Effective Date but within two years following the Prior Agreement Effective Date, which repayment shall be made within thirty (30) days of the date of termination. 

(f) Other Expenses. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for all reasonable travel and
other expenses incurred by the Executive in carrying out the Executive’s duties under this Agreement; provided that the Executive complies with the policies, practices and procedures of the Company for submission of expense reports,
receipts, or similar documentation of such expenses.  
 (g) Indemnification. During and after the Employment Period, the
Executive shall be entitled to all rights to indemnification available under the by-laws or certificate of incorporation of Holdco and the Company, or to which he may otherwise be entitled, through the
Company, Holdco and/or any of their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, in accordance with their respective terms. 
 4. Termination
of Employment. The Executive’s employment may be terminated under any of the circumstances described below. If the Executive’s employment as Chief Executive Officer of Holdco ceases for any reason, the Executive hereby agrees that he
will immediately (and automatically be deemed to) tender his resignation as a member of the Board. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Holdco, upon the termination of the Executive’s employment with Holdco and Holdings, he will immediately
(and automatically be deemed to) resign from all director, officer, committee, manager, employee and other roles with the Company, Holdco and each of their affiliates. Except as expressly provided in Section 5, no payments or benefits shall be
due to the Executive in connection with his termination of service as a director, officer, committee member, manager or employee or from any other role. 

(a) Death or Permanent Disability. The Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon the Executive’s death during
the Employment Period. The Company or Holdco shall be entitled to terminate the Executive’s employment because of the Executive’s Permanent Disability during the Employment Period. “Permanent Disability”
means that the Executive (i) is unable to perform his duties under this Agreement by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period
of not less than 12 months; (ii) is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months receiving income
replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Company; or (iii) has been determined to be totally disabled by the Social Security Administration. A termination of the
Executive’s employment by the Company or Holdco for Permanent Disability shall be communicated to the 

  
 -4- 

 
Executive by written notice and shall be effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”), unless the Executive returns
to full-time performance of the Executive’s duties in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 before such 30th day. In the event of a dispute as to whether the Executive has suffered
a Permanent Disability, the final determination shall be made by a licensed physician selected by the Board and acceptable to the Executive in the Executive’s reasonable judgment. 

(b) Other than Death or Disability. The Company or Holdco may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time during the
Employment Period with or without Cause upon notice to the Executive. 
 (c) Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his employment
at any time during the Employment Period for Good Reason, upon prior written notice to the Company setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such Good Reason, as set forth below. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason”
is defined as any one or more of the following: any attempt to relocate the Executive to a work location that is more than 100 miles from the Company’s office from which the Executive primarily works; any material diminution in the nature or
scope of the Executive’s responsibilities or duties as defined under this Agreement (provided that a change in reporting relationships resulting from the direct or indirect control of the Company or Holdco (or a successor corporation) by
another corporation or other person(s) shall not be deemed to constitute “Good Reason”); any material breach by the Company or any affiliate of the Company of any provision of this Agreement or any other written agreement with the
Executive; or any material failure of the Company to provide the Executive with at least the Annual Base Salary and/or any other compensation or benefits in accordance with the terms of Section 3 hereof, other than an inadvertent failure which
is cured within ten (10) business days following written notice from the Executive specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the appointment of an interim President and Chief Executive Officer of
the Company and/or Holdco during and for any period of the Executive’s disability (which may potentially result in a Permanent Disability) will not be considered “Good Reason” (so long as the Executive continues to be
compensated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), until the occurrence of a Permanent Disability as defined in Section 4(a). The Executive’s employment will only be deemed to have been terminated for Good Reason if he gives written
notice to the Company setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such Good Reason, gives the Company an opportunity to cure such Good Reason event (which cure period shall not be less than fifteen (15) days) and terminates employment
within sixty (60) days of the date of the later of the first occurrence and the Executive’s knowledge of the circumstances giving rise to Good Reason (to the extent the Company has not previously cured the circumstances giving rise to Good
Reason). 
 (d) Change in Control. If there occurs a “Change in Control” (as hereinafter defined) during the
Employment Period, and the Executive is not offered employment on substantially similar terms by Holdco or one of its continuing affiliates immediately thereafter, then, for all purposes of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment shall be
deemed to have been terminated by the Company in a manner qualifying as a “Change in Control Termination” effective as of the date of such Change in Control; provided, however, that neither the Company nor Holdco shall
have any obligation to the Executive under this Section 4 if the 

  
 -5- 

 
Executive is hired or offered employment on substantially similar terms by the purchaser of the stock or assets of Holdco or the Company, if the Executive’s employment hereunder is continued
by Holdco or one of its continuing affiliates, or if the Executive does not actually terminate employment. Further, if the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason,
in either case, within six (6) months prior to, or twenty-four (24) months following, the consummation of such Change in Control (the “Change in Control Protection Period”), the Executive shall be deemed to have had a
Change in Control Termination. As used herein, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred solely upon the occurrence of any of the following events: 

(i) a change in the ownership of Holdco within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v) as in effect on the date hereof; or 
 (ii) a change
in the ownership of all or substantially all of Holdco’s assets within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(vii) as in effect on the date hereof. 

(e) Date of Termination. The “Date of Termination” means the date of the Executive’s death, the Disability
Effective Date or the date on which the termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company and Holdco, or by the Executive, is effective, as the case may be, including by reason of the expiration of the Employment Period. 

5. Obligations of the Company Upon Termination. 

(a) By the Company Upon the Executive’s Death or Permanent Disability. If the Executive dies during the Employment
Period or the Company or Holdco terminates the Executive’s employment due to the Executive’s Permanent Disability, the Company shall pay the Executive or his legal representative: 

(i) One or more payments (the “Accrued Obligations”) equal (in the aggregate) to the sum of (1) any
portion of the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination that has not yet been paid; (2) any Annual Bonus that the Executive has earned for a prior full calendar year that has ended prior to the Date of Termination but
which has not yet been calculated and paid; (3) any accrued but unpaid vacation pay and (4) any unreimbursed expenses incurred prior to the Date of Termination, including any then unreimbursed car allowance for each month or partial month
of employment; and 
 (ii) a pro rata Annual Bonus. 

The Accrued Obligations shall be paid in cash within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination (other than the amount described in
clause (2) of the definition of Accrued Obligations, which shall be paid in accordance with Section 3(b)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Executive shall not be entitled to any payment pursuant to clause
(ii) of this Section 5(a) unless the Executive (or the Executive’s beneficiary previously designated in writing to the Company or, if no such beneficiary has been so designated, the 

  
 -6- 

 
Executive’s estate or representative, as applicable) shall have, at the written request of the Company or Holdco, executed a release of any and all legal claims substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A (which form may be modified by the Company to the extent necessary to reflect execution by a person other than the Executive and to include restrictive covenants that are consistent with those set forth
herein) (the “Release”) no later than twenty-one (21) days (or, if so instructed by the Company, forty-five (45) days) following the Date of Termination and shall not have revoked
the Release in accordance with its terms. The Company shall provide the final Release promptly in connection with any termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder. 

(b) By the Company for Cause. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company or Holdco for “Cause” (as
hereinafter defined), then the Executive shall be entitled to only the payment of the Accrued Obligations, which shall be paid to the Executive in cash in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination (other than the amount
described in clause (2) of the definition of Accrued Obligations, which shall be paid in accordance with Section 3(b)) and neither the Company nor Holdco shall have any further obligation under this Agreement, except as expressly provided
herein. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company or Holdco for Cause, or if the Executive resigns at a time when the Executive’s acts or omissions constituted grounds to terminate the
Executive’s employment for Cause without regard to applicable cure rights, any Sign-On Options that are outstanding as of the Date of Termination, whether or not then vested, shall be forfeited
automatically without consideration. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean (1) conviction of the Executive by a court of competent jurisdiction of a felony (excluding felonies under any state or local vehicle and
traffic code); (2) any act of intentional fraud in connection with his duties under this Agreement; (3) any act of gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to the Executive’s duties under this Agreement and (4) any act of
willful disobedience in violation of specific reasonable directions of the Board or the CEO consistent with the Executive’s duties; provided, in the case of clause (3) or (4), that the Executive has not cured the circumstances
giving rise to “Cause” within fifteen (15) days of the date the Company gives notice to the Executive of its intent to terminate his employment on such basis. 

(c) By the Company for any reason other than Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment is terminated
during the Employment Period (i) by the Company or Holdco other than for Cause, death or Permanent Disability or (ii) by the Executive for Good Reason, in each case, except if such termination is a Change in Control Termination,
(A) the Company shall pay to the Executive the Accrued Obligations, paid in cash within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination (other than the amount described in clause (2) of the definition of Accrued Obligations, which shall
be paid in accordance with Section 3(b)); (B) the Company shall pay to the Executive a pro rata Annual Bonus for the year of termination, calculated and paid in accordance with Section 3(b); (C) the Company shall pay to the Executive a
severance payment (the “Severance Payment”), in an amount equal to two (2) times the Executive’s then current Annual Base Salary and (D) any Sign-On Options that are outstanding
as of the Date of Termination and would have vested during the twenty-four (24) month period immediately following the Date of Termination shall become vested as of the Date of Termination and any vested
Sign-On Options outstanding as of such date shall, subject to the

terms of Holdco’s Amended and Restated 2012 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (including Section 11.2 thereof), remain outstanding and exercisable for their full term, notwithstanding such
termination of employment. Any Sign-On Options that do not vest after application of the preceding sentence shall be immediately forfeited without payment due thereon. The Severance Payment shall be payable in
cash in the form of salary continuation over the twenty-four (24) months following the Date of Termination, with the first payment(s) being payable in arrears on the date that is sixty (60) days following the Date of Termination.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Executive shall not be entitled to any payment or benefit pursuant to clauses (B), (C) or (D) of this Section 5(c) unless the Executive shall have executed the Release not
later than twenty-one (21) days (or, if so instructed by the Company, forty-five (45) days) following the Date of Termination and shall not have revoked the Release in accordance with its terms. The
Company shall provide the final Release promptly in connection with any termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder. 
 (d)
Change in Control Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event of a Change in Control Termination: 

(i) the Company shall pay to the Executive the Accrued Obligations; 

(ii) the Company shall pay to the Executive: 

(A) an amount equal to two (2) times the sum of (1) Executive’s then current Annual Base Salary and (2) the target Annual
Bonus, 
 (B) an amount equal to a pro rata Annual Bonus for the year of termination, calculated and paid in accordance with
Section 3(b), and 
 (C) provided that the Executive timely elects to continue his coverage in the Company’s group health plan
under the federal law known as “COBRA”, a monthly amount equal to that portion of the monthly health premiums for such coverage paid by the Company on behalf of the Executive prior to the date of the Change in Control Termination until the
date that is twenty-four (24) months following the date of the Change in Control Termination (the “Health Continuation Benefits”); 

(iii) any Sign-On Options that are outstanding as of the Date of Termination shall immediately become
fully vested as of the date of the Change in Control Termination and any vested Sign-On Options outstanding as of such date shall, subject to the terms of Holdco’s Amended and Restated 2012 Omnibus Equity
Incentive Plan (including Section 11.2 thereof), remain outstanding and exercisable for their full term, notwithstanding such termination of employment; and 

(iv) any stock options (other than the Sign-On Options), restricted stock, restricted stock units,
performance stock units or similar awards (or any awards or rights issued in exchange for such grants in connection with a Change in Control or otherwise) shall be treated as follows: (A) such awards or rights that vest solely based on the
Executive’s continued service over time shall immediately become fully vested as of the date of the Change in Control 

  
 -8- 

 
Termination and (B) such awards or rights that vest upon the occurrence of specified performance metrics, shall be treated as earned and vest as follows: (1) if the full performance
period has elapsed as of the date of the Change in Control Termination, such awards and rights shall be earned based on actual achievement of the applicable performance goals, as provided in the applicable award agreement and shall immediately
become vested without pro-ration and (2) otherwise, such awards and rights shall be earned based on assumed achievement of the applicable performance goals at 100% of the performance target, as provided
in the applicable award agreement, and shall immediately vest as to a prorated portion of each such award or right based on the number of days of the Executive’s actual employment or other service with the Company prior to the Change in Control
Termination during the applicable full performance period; provided, that, if the Executive does not experience a Change in Control Termination prior to the end of the applicable original performance period, such awards and rights shall be earned
based on assumed achievement of the applicable performance goals at 100% of the performance target, as provided in the applicable award agreement, and shall be eligible to vest as of the last day of the applicable original performance period without
pro-ration, subject to the terms of the applicable award agreement. Any stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units or similar awards (or any awards or rights issued in
exchange for such grants in connection with a Change in Control or otherwise) that do not vest after application of the preceding sentence or clause (iii) hereof shall be immediately forfeited without payment due thereon. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Health Continuation Benefits would subject the Executive or the Company to any tax or
penalty under the ACA or Section 105(h) of the Code (as defined below), or applicable subsequent regulations, guidance or successor statutes, the Executive and the Company agree to work together in good faith to restructure the Health
Continuation Benefits in a manner that avoids such adverse consequences. All amounts payable hereunder (except the Annual Bonus which is payable in accordance with Section 3(b), the Accrued Obligations, which shall be calculated and paid in a
lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the date of the Change in Control Termination and the Health Continuation Benefits, which shall be paid as described above in this Section 5(d)) shall be paid in cash in a lump sum on the date
that is the later of sixty (60) days following the date of the Change in Control Termination or sixty (60) days following the consummation of the Change in Control (except that, if the Change in Control Termination occurs due to a
qualifying termination within six (6) months prior to a Change in Control, such payment will be made over the twenty-four (24) months following the Date of Termination, with the first payment(s) being payable in arrears on the date that is
sixty (60) days following the Date of Termination). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Executive shall not be entitled to any payment or benefit pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) of this Section 5(d) unless
the Executive shall have, at the written request of the Company or Holdco, executed the Release no later than twenty-one (21) days (or, if so instructed by the Company, forty-five (45) days)
following the date of the Change in Control Termination and shall not have revoked such release in accordance with its terms. 
 (e) By
the Executive other than for Good Reason. If during the Employment Period the Executive terminates his employment with the Company and Holdco other than for Good Reason, the Company shall pay the Accrued Obligations to the Executive in a lump
sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination (other than the amount described in clause (2) of the definition of Accrued Obligations, which shall be paid in accordance with Section 3(b)) and neither the Company nor
Holdco shall have any further obligation under this Agreement except as expressly provided herein. 

  
 -9- 

 (f) Expiration of the Term. Unless otherwise terminated pursuant to any of the
foregoing clauses of this Section 5, the Executive’s employment hereunder will automatically terminate at the expiration of the Employment Period and the Company shall pay to the Executive the Accrued Obligations; provided, however, that
if the Company allows the Executive’s employment to terminate due to an expiration of the Employment Period occurring during the Change in Control Protection Period, the Executive will be deemed to have had a Change in Control Termination and
will be entitled to the payments and benefits described in Section 5(d) above and shall not otherwise receive payment under this Section 5(f). The Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within thirty
(30) days of the Date of Termination (other than the amount described in clause (2) of the definition of Accrued Obligations, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be the Annual Bonus for the calendar year in which the Employment Period
expires and which shall be paid in accordance with Section 3(b)). Upon expiration of the Employment Period, no Severance Payment will be due and no further Restriction Period shall apply. 

6. Section 409A. The parties intend for the compensation provided under this Agreement to comply with, or be exempt
from, the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (together with the regulations thereunder, “Section 409A”). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in no event shall the Company, Holdco or any of their respective affiliates have any liability to the Executive or to any other person claiming rights under this Agreement relating to the failure or alleged failure of any payment or benefit under
this Agreement to comply with, or be exempt from, the provisions of Section 409A. 
 (a) Definitions. For purposes of this
Agreement, all references to “termination of employment” and similar or correlative phrases shall be construed to require a “separation from service” (as defined in Section 1.409A-1(h)
of the Treasury regulations after giving effect to the presumptions contained therein), and the term “specified employee” means an individual determined by Holdco to be a specified employee under Treasury regulation Section 1.409A-1(i). 
 (b) Certain Delayed Payments. If any payment or benefit hereunder
constituting “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A would be subject to subsection (a)(2)(B)(i) of Section 409A (relating to payments made to “specified employees” of publicly-traded companies upon
separation from service), any such payment or benefit to which the Executive would otherwise be entitled during the six (6) month period following the Executive’s separation from service will instead be provided or paid without interest on
the first business day following the expiration of such six (6) month period, or if earlier, the date of the Executive’s death. 

(c) Separate Payments. Each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. 

  
 -10- 

 (d) Reimbursements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any
reimbursement that constitutes or could constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A will be subject to the following additional requirements: (i) the expenses eligible for reimbursement will have been incurred
during the term of this Agreement, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during any calendar year will not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year; (iii) reimbursement will be made not
later than December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred; and (iv) the right to reimbursement will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. Any tax gross-up payments payable by the Company under Section 3(e)(i) shall be paid not later than the time period provided in Section 1.409A-3(v). 

7. Full Settlement. The Company’s obligations to make the payments provided for in, and otherwise to perform its obligations under,
this Agreement shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action that the Company may have against the Executive or others. In no event shall the Executive
be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced, regardless of whether the Executive
obtains other employment. 
 8. Confidential Information. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the
Company and Holdco all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company, Holdco or any of their affiliates and their respective businesses that the Executive obtains during the Executive’s employment by the Company
and Holdco (whether before, during or after the Employment Period) and that is not public knowledge (other than as a result of the Executive’s violation of this Section 8) (“Confidential Information”). The Executive shall
not communicate, divulge or disseminate Confidential Information at any time during or after the Executive’s employment with the Company and Holdco, except with the prior written consent of the Company or as otherwise required by law. For the
avoidance of doubt, (a) nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement containing confidentiality provisions or other restrictive covenants in favor of any of Holdco, the Company or any affiliate of either of them, shall be
construed to limit, restrict or in any other way affect the Executive’s communicating with any governmental agency or entity, or communicating with any official or staff person of a governmental agency or entity, concerning matters relevant to
the governmental agency or entity and (b) the Executive will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for disclosing a trade secret (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government
official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (ii) in a complaint or other document filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding;
provided that notwithstanding this immunity from liability, the Executive may be held liable if the Executive unlawfully accesses trade secrets by unauthorized means. 

  
 -11- 

 9. Noncompetition; Nonsolicitation. 

(a) Noncompetition. During the Employment Period, and following termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, Holdco
and any of their affiliates, during the “Restriction Period” (as hereinafter defined), the Executive shall not directly or indirectly participate in or permit his name directly or indirectly to be used by or become associated with
(including as an advisor, representative, agent, promoter, independent contractor, provider of personal services or otherwise) any person, corporation, partnership, firm, association or other enterprise or entity (a “person”) that is, or
intends to be, engaged in any business which is in competition with any business of the Company, Holdco or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates in any geographic area in which the Company, Holdco or any of their respective subsidiaries
or affiliates operate, compete or are engaged in such business or at such time intend so to operate, compete or become engaged in such business (a “Competitor”); provided, however, that the foregoing will not prohibit
the Executive from participating in or becoming associated with a person if (i) less than 10% of the consolidated gross revenues of such person, together with its affiliates, derive from activities or businesses that are in competition with any
business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (a “Competitive Business”) and (ii) the Executive does not, directly or indirectly, participate in, become associated with, or otherwise have responsibilities
that relate to the conduct or operations of, any Competitive Business that is conducted by such person or a division, group, or subsidiary or affiliate of such person. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “participate” includes any
direct or indirect interest, whether as an officer, director, employee, partner, sole proprietor, trustee, beneficiary, agent, representative, independent contractor, consultant, advisor, provider of personal services, creditor, or owner (other than
by ownership of less than five percent of the stock of a publicly-held corporation whose stock is traded on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter
market). 
 (b) Nonsolicitation. During the Employment Period, and during the Restriction Period following termination of employment,
the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, encourage or solicit, or assist any other person or firm in encouraging or soliciting, any person or firm that during the three-year period preceding such termination of the Executive’s
employment with the Company and Holdco (or, if such action occurs during the Employment Period, on the date such action was taken) is or was engaged in a business relationship with the Company or Holdco, any of their respective subsidiaries or
affiliates to terminate its relationship with the Company or Holdco or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates or, in the case of any such person, to engage in a business relationship with a Competitor. 

(c) No Hire. During the Employment Period, and during the Restriction Period following termination of employment, the Executive will
not, except with the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, induce any employee of the Company, Holdco or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates to terminate employment with such entity, and will not, directly or
indirectly, either individually or as owner, agent, employee, consultant or otherwise, employ, offer employment or cause employment to be offered to any person (including employment as an independent contractor) who is or was employed by the
Company, Holdco or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates unless such person shall have ceased to be employed by such entity for a period of at least twelve months; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to inducing
any employee pursuant to a blanket solicitation not specifically targeted at that employee. For purposes of this Section 9(c), “employment” shall be deemed to include rendering services as an independent contractor and
“employees” shall be deemed to include independent contractors. 

  
 -12- 

 (d) Restriction Period. The term “Restriction Period” as used
herein, shall mean the 24-month period immediately following the Date of Termination (other than a termination at the expiration of the Employment Period). 

(e) Return of Confidential Information. Promptly following the Executive’s termination of employment, including due to expiration
of the Employment Period, the Executive shall return to the Company all property of the Company, Holdco and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, and all copies thereof, in the Executive’s possession or under his control, including,
without limitation, all Confidential Information in whatever media such Confidential Information is maintained. 
 (f) Injunctive
Relief. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Restriction Period and the covenants and obligations of the Executive in Section 8 and this Section 9 with respect to noncompetition, nonsolicitation and confidentiality and with
respect to the property of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, and the territories covered thereby, are fair and reasonable and the result of negotiation. The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and obligations
of the Executive in Section 8 and this Section 9 with respect to noncompetition, nonsolicitation and confidentiality and with respect to the property of the Company, Holdco and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, and the
territories covered thereby, relate to special, unique and extraordinary matters and that a violation of any of the terms of such covenants and obligations will cause the Company, Holdco and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates irreparable
injury for which adequate remedies are not available at law. Therefore, the Executive agrees that the Company and Holdco shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or such other equitable relief as a court of competent jurisdiction may
deem necessary or appropriate to restrain the Executive from committing any violation of such covenants and obligations. These injunctive remedies are cumulative and are in addition to any other rights and remedies the Company and Holdco may have at
law or in equity. If, at the time of enforcement of Section 8 and/or this Section 9, a court holds that any of the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum
period, scope, and/or geographical area legally permissible under such circumstances will be substituted for the period, scope and/or area stated herein. 

10. Successors. 
 (a) This
Agreement is personal to the Executive and shall not be assignable by the Executive. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s legal representatives and heirs and successors. 

(b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Holdco, the Company and their respective successors and assigns. 

  
 -13- 

 11. Section 280G. In the event that the Company undergoes a change
in control at a time when it (or any affiliate of the Company, including Holdco, that would be treated, together with the Company, as a single corporation under Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder) has stock that is readily
tradeable on an established securities market (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder), if all, or any portion, of the payments provided under this Agreement, either alone or together with other payments
or benefits which the Executive receives or is entitled to receive from the Company or an affiliate, could constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, then the Executive shall be entitled
to receive (i) an amount limited so that no portion thereof shall fail to be tax deductible under Section 280G of the Code (the “Limited Amount”), or (ii) if the amount otherwise payable hereunder, together with the
other payments or benefits the Executive is so entitled to receive, (without regard to clause (i)) reduced by the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code and all other applicable federal, state and local taxes (with income taxes all
computed at the highest applicable marginal rate) is greater than the Limited Amount reduced by all taxes applicable thereto (with income taxes all computed at the highest marginal rate), the amount otherwise payable hereunder. If it is determined
that the Limited Amount will maximize the Executive’s after-tax proceeds, payments and benefits shall be reduced to equal the Limited Amount in the following order: (i) first, by reducing cash
severance payments, (ii) second, by reducing other payments and benefits to which Q&A 24(c) of Section 1.280G-1 of the Treasury Regulations does not apply, and (iii) finally, by reducing all
remaining payments and benefits, with all such reductions done on a pro rata basis. All determinations made pursuant this Section 11 will be made at the Company’s expense by the independent public accounting firm most recently serving as
the Company’s outside auditors or such other accounting or benefits consulting group or firm as the Company may designate. 
 12.
Miscellaneous. 
 (a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New Jersey,

 Exhibit A 

FORM OF RELEASE OF CLAIMS 

This Release of Claims is provided by me, Brad Weston (or by my designated beneficiary or estate, in the event of my death during my
employment), pursuant to the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement between me, Party City Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and Party City Holdco Inc. (“Holdco”) dated as of March 11, 2020 (the “Employment
Agreement”). 
 This Release of Claims is given in consideration of the severance benefits to be provided to me (or, in the event of my
death during my employment, to my designated beneficiary) in connection with the termination of my employment under Section 5 of the Employment Agreement (the “Separation Payments”), which are conditioned on my signing this Release of
Claims and to which I am not otherwise entitled, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged. On my own behalf and that of my heirs, executors, administrators, beneficiaries,
representatives and assigns, and all others connected with or claiming through me, I hereby release and forever discharge the Company from any and all causes of action, rights or claims of any type or description, known or unknown, which I have had
in the past, now have or might have, through the date of my signing of this Release of Claims. This includes, without limitation, any and all causes of action, rights or claims in any way resulting from, arising out of or connected with my
employment by the Company or the termination of that employment or pursuant to any federal, state or local law, regulation or other requirement, including without limitation Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities
Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the fair employment practices statutes of the state or states in which I have provided services to the Company or any other federal, state, local or foreign law, all as amended, any contracts of
employment, any tort claims, or any agreements, plans or policies. 
 For purposes of this Release of Claims, the word “Company”
always includes the Company, Holdco the subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company or Holdco and all of their respective past, present and future officers, directors, trustees, shareholders, employees, employee benefit plans and any of the trustees
or administrators thereof, agents, general and limited partners, members, managers, investors, joint venturers, representatives, predecessors, successors and assigns, and all others connected with any of them, both individually and in their official
capacities. 
 Nothing in this Release of Claims shall be construed to prohibit me from filing a charge with or participating in any
investigation or proceeding conducted by the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or a comparable state or local agency, except that I hereby agree to waive my right to recover monetary damages or other individual relief in any charge,
complaint or lawsuit filed by me or by anyone else on my behalf. 

 Nothing in this Release of Claims is intended to or does waive or release any rights I may
have with respect to (i) coverage under liability insurance or indemnification rights provided or maintained by the Company during, or applicable to, my employment with the Company, or under any other obligation or policy of insurance
maintained by the Company in accordance with their respective terms; (ii) any other defense or indemnity right under applicable law; (iii) the enforcement of the right to any payment or benefits due upon the termination of my employment in
accordance with the express terms of the Employment Agreement or (iv) any right or claim that cannot, by law, be waived or released through this Release of Claims. 

Also excluded from the scope of this Release of Claims is any right to benefits that were vested or eligible for continuation under the
Company’s employee benefit plans on the date on which my employment with the Company terminated, in accordance with the terms of such plans. 

In signing this Release of Claims, I give the Company assurance that I have returned to the Company any and all documents, materials and
information related to the business, whether present or otherwise, of the Company and all keys and other property of the Company that were in my possession or control, all as required by and consistent with Section 9(e) of the Employment
Agreement. I agree that I will not, for any purpose, attempt to access or use any computer or computer network or system of the Company, including without limitation their electronic mail systems. I further acknowledge that I have disclosed to the
Company all passwords necessary or desirable to enable the Company to access all information which I have password-protected on its computer network or system. 

In signing this Release of Claims, I agree that I have been paid in full all compensation due to me, whether for services rendered by me to
the Company or otherwise, through the date on which my employment with the Company terminated and that, exclusive only of the Separation Payments and the Accrued Obligations, as defined in the Employment Agreement, no further compensation of any
kind shall be due to me by the Company, whether arising under the Employment Agreement or otherwise, in connection with my employment or the termination thereof. I also agree that except for any right I and my eligible dependents may have to
continue participation in the Company’s health and dental plans under the federal law commonly known as COBRA, my right to participate in any employee benefit plan of the Company will be determined in accordance with the terms of such plan.

 I acknowledge that my eligibility for the Separation Payments is not only contingent on my signing and returning this Release of Claims
to the Company in a timely manner and not revoking it thereafter, but also is subject to my compliance with the covenants contained in the Employment Agreement. 

 In signing this Release of Claims, acknowledge that I have not relied on any promises or
representations, express or implied, that are not set forth expressly in this Release of Claims. I further acknowledge that I am waiving and releasing any rights I may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended
(“ADEA”), and that this waiver and release is knowing and voluntary and is being done with a full understanding of its terms. I agree that the consideration given for this waiver and release is in addition to anything of value to which I
was already entitled. I further acknowledge that I have been advised by this writing as required by the ADEA that: 
 1. I have the right to
and am advised by the Company to consult with an attorney prior to executing this Release of Claims; and I acknowledge that I have had sufficient time to consider this Release of Claims and to consult with an attorney, if I wished to do so, or to
consult with any other person of my choosing before signing; 
 2. I may not sign this Release of Claims prior to the termination of my
employment, but that I may consider the terms of this Release of Claims for up to twenty-one (21) days (or, if the Company so instructs, forty-five (45) days) from the later of the date my employment
with the Company terminates or the date I receive this Release of Claims; 
 3. I have seven (7) days following my execution of this
Release of Claims to revoke this Release of Claims; and 
 4. This Release of Claims shall not be effective until the revocation period has
expired. 
 Intending to be legally bound, I have signed this Release of Claims under seal as of the date written below.
