directors or trustees of any business corporation or any charitable organization; provided, further, in each case in the aggregate, that such activities do not conflict or interfere with the performance of Executive’s
duties hereunder or conflict with Section 8.

year. The Annual Bonus shall be payable under the Company’s management incentive compensation plan, or any successor thereto (the “Incentive Plan”), on such terms and at such time(s) as annual bonuses are otherwise payable
thereunder. In addition to the foregoing, Executive shall continue to be eligible for the extraordinary bonuses as set forth in, and subject to the terms of, that certain letter agreement (the Letter Agreement”) entered into between

with the foregoing sentence the Company may, in its sole discretion, prohibit Executive from entering the premises of the Company for all or any portion of the period after giving him notice of such termination. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 7 shall exclusively govern Executive’s rights upon termination of employment with the Company; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 7 shall diminish
Executive’s rights with respect to the Equity Documents, which shall continue to govern Executive’s equity holdings following any termination in accordance therewith. 
 a. By the Company For Cause or By Executive Without Good Reason. 
 (i) The Employment Term and Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined below) and shall terminate automatically upon Executive’s resignation (other than for Good

including, without limitation, engaging in any action in breach of the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement or the Equity Documents, that continues beyond the Cure Period (to the extent that, in the Board’s
reasonable judgment, such breach can be cured). In addition, “Good Reason” shall mean (i) a reduction in the Executive’s base salary or annual incentive compensation opportunity (other than a general reduction in base

Section 7(d) below), paid within ten (10) business days after the Date of Termination; 
 (B) a lump-sum payment of

provides the Company with the necessary documentation of such expenses to the extent required by such policy); 
 (E) such
Employee Benefits, if any, as to which Executive may be entitled under the applicable Company Plans upon termination of employment hereunder, and any rights under the Letter Agreement, to the extent provided therein (the payments and benefits
described clauses (A) through (E) hereof being referred to, collectively, as the “Accrued Rights). 
  

 4 

 Following such termination of Executive’s employment by the Company for Cause or resignation by Executive other than
for Good Reason or as a result of Executive’s death or Disability, except as set forth in this Section 7(a)(iii), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 
 b. Disability or Death. 
 (i)
Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon Executive’s death and may be terminated by the Company if Executive becomes physically or mentally incapacitated and is therefore unable for a period of six (6) consecutive months
or for an aggregate of nine (9) months in any eighteen (18) consecutive month period to perform Executive’s duties (such incapacity is hereinafter referred to as “Disability”). Any question as to the existence of the
Disability of Executive as to which Executive and the Company cannot agree shall be determined in writing by a qualified independent physician mutually acceptable to Executive (or to the Executive’s representative, if Executive is not capable
of acting on own his behalf) and the Company. If Executive (or to the Executive’s representative, if Executive is not capable of acting on his own behalf) and the Company cannot agree as to a qualified independent physician, each shall appoint
such a physician and those two physicians shall select a third who shall make such determination in writing. The determination of Disability hereunder shall be made in a writing that is promptly provided to the Company and Executive (or his
representative, if Executive is not capable of acting on his own behalf) shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of the Agreement. 
 (ii) Upon termination of Executive’s employment hereunder for either Disability or death, Executive or Executive’s estate (as the case may be) shall be entitled to receive: 
 (A) the Accrued Rights; and 
 (B) a lump-sum payment of the pro rata portion (based upon the number of days in the applicable Fiscal Year during which Executive was employed with the Company through the Date of Termination, relative to the number
of days in the applicable Fiscal Year) of the Annual Bonus, if any, that Executive would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the Incentive Plan had Executive remained employed through the date that bonuses are paid to other executives under
the Incentive Plan in respect of the Fiscal Year in which the Date of Termination occurs, paid when such bonuses are otherwise paid to active participants under the Incentive Plan (the “Pro Rata Bonus”). 
 Following Executive’s termination of employment due to Executive’s death or Disability, except as set forth in this Section 7(b)(ii), Executive shall have
no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 
  

 5 

 c. By the Company Without Cause; By Executive for Good Reason. 
 (i) Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason.

Term at any time but excluding by reason of his death or Disability) or by Executive for Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to receive: 
 (A) the Accrued Rights and Pro Rata Bonus; 
 (B) subject to Executive’s continued
compliance with the provisions of Section 8 and subject to Executive’s execution (without revocation) of a release of claims (the form of which shall be that customarily provided by the Company to terminating employees), an amount equal to
the sum of (x) twenty-four months’ Base Salary at the rate in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination and (y) the product of (I) 2.0 and (II) the Target Bonus for the year in which the Date of Termination occurs,
payable in equal monthly installments over the twenty-four (24) month period commencing on such Date of Termination (the “Severance Period”); and 
 (C) continuation of health and welfare benefits (pursuant to the same benefit plans as in effect for active employees of the Company)
until the earlier to occur of (x) twenty-four months from the Date of Termination and (y) the date on which Executive commences to be eligible for comparable coverage from any subsequent employer. 
 Following Executive’s termination of employment by the Company without Cause (including by virtue of the Company’s failure to renew the Employment Term at any
time) or by Executive for Good Reason, except as set forth in this Section 7(c)(ii), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement or any other severance plan or arrangement of Visant or
any of its subsidiaries. 
 d. Notice of Termination. Any purported termination of employment by the Company or by Executive (other
than due to Executive’s death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 11(h)) hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean
a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of employment under the provision so
indicated. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Date of Termination” shall mean the date the Notice of Termination is given to the respective party; provided, however, that (i) with respect to a termination for Cause by the
Company, the Date of Termination shall not occur prior to the expiration of any applicable Cure Period and (ii) upon a nonrenewal of the Employment Term by either party, the date the Employment Term expires, and not the date of the notice
itself, shall constitute the applicable Date of Termination. 
  

 6 

 e. Board/Committee Resignation. Upon termination of Executive’s employment for any reason,
Executive agrees to resign, as of the date of such termination and to the extent applicable, from the Board (and any committees thereof) and the board of directors (and any committees thereof) of any of the Company’s Affiliates (as defined in
the Plan).  
 8. Confidential Information; Covenant Not to Compete; Non-Solicit. 
 a. Executive acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the business of Visant and its Affiliates and accordingly agrees as follows:

 (i) In consideration of the Company entering into this Agreement with the Executive and without limitation of any prior agreement made with
respect to confidentiality or other restrictive covenants made by Executive in the favor of VHC or any of its Affiliates prior to the date hereof, the Executive hereby agrees effective as of the date of the Executive’s commencement of
employment with the Company or its subsidiaries, without the Company’s prior written consent, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, (x) at any time during or after the Executive’s employment with the Company or its
subsidiaries, disclose any Confidential Information (as such term is defined in that certain Management Stockholder’s Agreement dated March 17, 2005 previously entered by Executive) pertaining to the business of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, except when required to perform his or her duties to the Company or one of its subsidiaries, by law or judicial process; or (y) at any time during the Executive’s employment with the Company or its subsidiaries and for a
period of two years thereafter, directly or indirectly (A) act as a proprietor, investor, director, officer, employee, substantial stockholder, consultant, or partner in any business that directly or indirectly competes, at the relevant
determination date, with the business of the Company in, (1) school photography services or school-related clothing, affinity products and services, including yearbooks, (2) memory books, (3) commercial printing and binding,
(4) printing services to companies engaged in direct marketing, (5) fragrance, cosmetics and toiletries-related sampling or (6) single use packaging for fragrances, cosmetics and toiletries, in North America in the case of clauses
(1) through (4) and in North America and Europe in the case of clauses (5) and (6), (B) solicit customers or clients of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate their relationship with the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or otherwise solicit such customers or clients to compete with any business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (C) solicit or offer employment to any person who has been employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries
at any time during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the termination of the Executive’s employment. If the Executive is bound by any other agreement with the Company regarding the use or disclosure of Confidential Information,
the provisions of this Agreement shall be read in such a way as to further restrict and not to permit any more extensive use or disclosure of Confidential Information. 
 b. Notwithstanding clause (a) above, if at any time a court holds that the restrictions stated in such clause (a) are unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable under circumstances then existing, the parties
hereto agree that the maximum period, scope or geographic area determined to be reasonable under such circumstances by such court will be substituted for the stated period, scope or area. In the event that the provisions of this Section 8, or
any portion thereof, should ever be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction in proceedings to which Executive, Visant or any of its subsidiaries is a proper party to exceed the 

  

 7 

 
time or geographic or other limitations permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall be deemed reformed to the maximum time or geographic or other
limitations permitted by applicable law, as determined by such court in such action, the parties hereby acknowledging their desire that in such event such action be taken. 
 Because the Executive’s services are unique and because the Executive has had access to Confidential Information, the parties hereto agree that
money damages will be an inadequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company or its successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their
favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof (without the posting of a bond or other security). 
 9. Specific Performance. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the
provisions of Section 8 would be inadequate and the Company would suffer irreparable damages as a result of such breach or threatened breach. In recognition of this fact, Executive agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened
breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to cease making any payments or providing any benefit otherwise required by this Agreement and obtain equitable relief in the form of specific
performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available. 
 10.
Arbitration. Except as provided in Section 9, any other dispute arising out of or asserting breach of this Agreement, or any statutory or common law claim by Executive relating to his employment under this Agreement or the termination
thereof (including any tort or discrimination claim), shall be exclusively resolved by binding statutory arbitration in accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Such arbitration process shall
take place in New York, New York. A court of competent jurisdiction may enter judgment upon the arbitrator’s award. Each party shall pay the costs and expenses of arbitration (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by such party
in connection with any dispute arising out of or asserting breach of this Agreement. 
 11. Miscellaneous. 
 a. Reserved. 
 b. Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof. 
 c. Entire Agreement/Amendments. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the employment of Executive by the Company. There are no restrictions, agreements, promises,
warranties, covenants or undertakings between the parties with respect to the subject matter herein other than those expressly set forth herein. This Agreement may not be altered, modified, or amended except by written instrument signed by the
parties hereto; provided, however, that the parties hereto acknowledge that an executive 

  

 8 

 
officer of VHC shall have the right, in his or her sole discretion, to reduce the scope of any covenant set forth in this Agreement or any portion thereof,
effective as to Executive immediately upon receipt by Executive of written notice thereof from VHC. 
 d. No Waiver. No waiver of any
of the provisions of this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed or be construed as a further, continuing or subsequent waiver of any such provision or as a waiver of any other provision of this
Agreement. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any right, remedy or power hereunder will preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, remedy or power provided herein or by law or in equity. 
 e. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. 
 f.
Assignment. This Agreement, and all of Executive’s rights and duties hereunder, shall not be assignable or delegable by Executive; provided, however, that if Executive shall die, all amounts then payable to Executive
hereunder shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Executive’s devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there be no such devisee, legatee or designee, to Executive’s estate. Any purported assignment or delegation by
Executive in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void ab initio and of no force and effect. This Agreement may be assigned by the Company to a person or entity which is an Affiliate, and shall be assigned to any successor in interest
to substantially all of the business operations of the Company. Upon such assignment, the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder shall become the rights and obligations of such Affiliate or successor person or entity. Further, the Company
will require any successor (whether, direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same
manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company and any successor to its business and/or assets which
is required by this Section 11(f) to assume and agree to perform this Agreement or which otherwise assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement; provided, however, in the event that any successor, as described above, agrees to
assume this Agreement in accordance with the preceding sentence, as of the date such successor so assumes this Agreement, the Company shall cease to be liable for any of the obligations contained in this Agreement. 
 g. Set Off; Mitigation. The Company’s obligation to pay Executive the amounts provided and to make the arrangements provided hereunder shall
not be subject to set-off, counterclaim or recoupment, other than amounts loaned or advanced to Executive by the Company or its Affiliates or otherwise as provided in Section 7(c)(ii)(C) hereof. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the
amount of any payment provided for pursuant to this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise and the amount of any payment provided for pursuant to this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned as a result of
Executive’s other employment or otherwise. 
  

 9

the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by hand or overnight courier or three days after it has been mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed
to the respective addresses set forth below in this Agreement, or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

termination of employment with the Company Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or
benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such termination of employment is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company will defer the commencement of the payment of
any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to Executive) until the date that is six months following Executive’s termination of employment with the Company (or the
earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A of the Code) and (b) if any other payments of money or other benefits due to Executive hereunder could cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of
the Code, such payments or other benefits shall be deferred if deferral will make such payment or other benefits compliant under Section 409A of the Code, or otherwise such payment or other benefits shall be restructured, to the extent
possible, in a manner, determined by the Board, that does not cause such an accelerated or additional tax. The Company shall consult with Executive in good faith regarding the implementation of the provisions of this Section 12; provided
that neither the Company nor any of its employees or representatives shall have any liability to Executive with respect to thereto.
