Ladies and Gentlemen:

You have advised each of Credit Suisse AG (acting through such of its affiliates or branches as it deems appropriate, “CS”) and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“CS Securities” and, together with CS and their respective affiliates, the “Commitment Parties”, “we” or “us”) that Visant Corporation (“Visant” or “you”) intends to acquire (the “Acquisition”), directly or indirectly, all of the outstanding equity interests of the entity previously identified to us by you as “Celebration”, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). You have further advised us that, in connection with the foregoing, you intend to consummate the other Transactions described in the Transaction Description attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Transaction Description”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Transaction Description and in the Summaries of Principal Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Senior Secured Term Loan Facility Term Sheet”) and Exhibit C (the “Bridge Term Sheet”; together with the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility Term Sheet, the “Term Sheets”; this commitment letter, the Transaction Description, the Term Sheets and the Summary of Additional Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit D, collectively, the “Commitment Letter”).

You have further advised us that, in connection therewith, it is intended that the financing for the Transactions will include (i) up to a $260.01 million senior secured term loan facility (the “Senior Secured Term Loan Facility”) as further described in the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility Term Sheet and (ii) up to $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes issued by Visant in a Rule 144A private placement on the Closing Date (as defined below) on terms substantially consistent with the Existing Senior Notes (as defined herein) pursuant to the Senior Notes Indenture (as defined herein) (such senior unsecured notes or any other senior unsecured notes, the “Mirror Notes”); provided that if all or any portion of the contemplated $100.0 million of Mirror Notes are not issued by Visant on or prior to the Closing Date (as defined below), the financing shall also include up to $100.0 million of senior unsecured fixed rate loans (the “Senior Unsecured Bridge Loans” or the “Bridge Loans”) under

 

1  Closing Date borrowings pursuant to both Existing Credit Agreement and Senior Secured Term Loan Facility to be $260.0 million, plus an additional amount to reflect any additional original issue discount pursuant to the exercise of flex as set forth in the Fee Letter, to be comprised of approximately $50.0 million of revolving credit borrowings pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement and $210.0 million of term loan borrowings pursuant to the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility.


the senior unsecured credit facility (the “Senior Unsecured Bridge Facility” or the “Bridge Facility”) described in the Bridge Term Sheet (in each case, plus an amount sufficient to fund any OID or upfront fees required to be funded in respect thereof on the Closing Date); provided that in any event, the combined aggregate amount of gross proceeds (after giving effect to any upfront fees and OID funded on the Closing Date) from the Mirror Notes and Bridge Loans shall not exceed $100.0 million; provided further that Visant may in its sole discretion agree to reduce any commitment herein with respect to the Senior Unsecured Bridge Facility without penalty or premium (provided that any such reduction will be pro rata among the Commitment Parties). The Senior Secured Term Loan Facility and the Bridge Facility are collectively referred to herein as the “Facilities”. The Senior Secured Term Loan Facility may be effected, at the election of Visant made by written notice to the Commitment Parties prior to the commencement of the syndication of the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility, (i) as an incremental facility pursuant to Section 2.15 of Visant’s existing Credit Agreement, dated as of September 22, 2010 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), among Visant, Jostens Canada Ltd., as Canadian Borrower, Visant Secondary Holdings Corp. as Guarantor, the lending institutions from time to time parties thereto, Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent, Credit Suisse AG, Toronto Branch as Canadian Administrative Agent, and the other agents, arrangers and bookrunners from time to time parties thereto (such election to effect the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility as an incremental facility under the Existing Credit Agreement, the “Incremental Election”) or (ii) under a new stand-alone credit agreement (such election, the “Stand-Alone Election”); provided that it is understood that if Visant makes the Incremental Election, such election shall not have the effect of terminating the commitment of the Commitment Parties to provide the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth or referred to in this Commitment Letter, including the following proviso, which commitment shall terminate in accordance with the terms of this Commitment Letter; provided further that (x) Visant may, following the commencement of the syndication of the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility, by written notice to the Commitment Parties, revoke either such election and make the other such election and (y) in the event of a revocation of the Incremental Election (but not the revocation of the Stand-Alone Election) following the commencement of syndication, the condition precedent set forth in paragraph 7 of Exhibit D hereto shall not have been satisfied by any previously commenced Bank Marketing Period (as defined in Exhibit D) and unless the Commitment Parties shall otherwise agree, a new Bank Marketing Period shall commence in accordance with the terms hereof following such revocation and election. In the event that the Incremental Election is exercised, the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility shall have the maturity and pricing and be subject to the conditions precedent set forth or referred to in the Term Sheet, but shall otherwise have and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement.

In connection with the foregoing, (a) CS is pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide 100% of the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility and (b) CS is pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide 100% of the Bridge Facility, in each case subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in the section entitled “Conditions to Initial Borrowing” in Exhibit B hereto, in the section entitled “Conditions to Borrowing” in Exhibit C hereto (in each case, limited on the Closing Date as indicated therein) and in Exhibit D hereto. CS is referred to herein as the “Initial Lender”, in the capacity referred to in clause (a) above being herein called the “Initial Bank Lender” and in the capacity referred to in clause (b) above being herein called the “Initial Bridge Lenders”.

It is agreed that (i) CS Securities will act as sole lead arranger and bookrunner for the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility (in such capacity, a “Senior Bank Lead Arranger”); (ii) CS Securities will act as sole lead arranger and bookrunner for the Bridge Facility (in such capacity, the “Senior Bridge Lead Arranger” and, together with the Senior Bank Lead Arranger, the “Lead Arranger”); (iii) CS Securities will act as sole physical bookrunner for the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility; (iv) CS Securities will act as sole physical bookrunner for the Bridge Facility; (v) CS will act as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility (in such capacity, the “Bank

Administrative Agent”); and (vi) CS will act as administrative agent for the Bridge Facility (in such capacity, the “Bridge Administrative Agent” and, together with the Bank Administrative Agent, the “Administrative Agents”). It is further agreed that CS Securities shall have “left” placement in any and all marketing materials or other documentation used in connection with the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility. It is further agreed that CS Securities shall have “left” placement in any and all marketing materials or other documentation used in connection with the Bridge Facility. No compensation (other than that expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter referred to below) will be paid, and no other titles will be awarded to any Lender in order to obtain its commitment to participate in the Facilities unless you and the Commitment Parties shall so agree.

The Lead Arranger reserves the right, prior to or after the execution of the Facilities Documentation (as defined in Exhibit D), which we agree will be initially drafted by your counsel, to syndicate all or a portion of the Initial Lender’s commitments hereunder to a group of banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders identified by the Lead Arranger in consultation with you and reasonably acceptable to it and you with respect to the identity of such lenders (your consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) including, without limitation, any relationship lenders designated by you and reasonably acceptable to the Lead Arranger (such banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders, together with the Initial Lender, the “Lenders”); provided that, notwithstanding the Lead Arranger’s right to syndicate the Facilities and receive commitments with respect thereto (but subject to the fourth paragraph of this Commitment Letter), it is agreed that (i) syndication of, or receipt of commitments or participations in respect of, all or any portion of the Initial Lender’s commitments hereunder prior to the date of the consummation of the Acquisition and the date of the initial funding under any of the Facilities (the date of such funding, the “Closing Date”) shall not be a condition to the Initial Lender’s commitments; (ii) the Initial Lender shall not be relieved, released or novated from its obligations hereunder (including its obligation to fund any of the Facilities on the Closing Date) in connection with any syndication, assignment or participation of the Facilities, including its commitments in respect thereof, until after the initial funding of the Facilities has occurred; (iii) no assignment or novation shall become effective (as between you and us) with respect to all or any portion of the Initial Lender’s commitments in respect of the Facilities until after the initial funding of the Facilities; (iv) unless you otherwise agree in writing, each Commitment Party shall retain exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to its commitments in respect of the Facilities, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, supplements, waivers and amendments, until the Closing Date has occurred and (v) we will not syndicate our commitments to (a) certain banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders and investors that have been separately identified in writing by you or Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”) or DLJ Merchant Banking Partners III, L.P. (“DLJ” and, together with KKR, each “Sponsor” and together the “Sponsors”; the Sponsors, together with certain other investors in Visant, the “Investors”) to us prior to the date of this Commitment Letter (or, if so identified after such date (but prior to the Closing Date), that are reasonably acceptable to the Lead Arranger, (b) those persons who are competitors of the Company and its subsidiaries that are separately identified in writing by you or KKR to us from time to time, and (c) in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b), any of their affiliates (other than any such affiliate that is affiliated with a financial investor in such person and that is not itself an operating company or otherwise an affiliate of an operating company so long as such affiliate is a bona fide debt fund) that are either (i) identified in writing by you or KKR from time to time or (ii) clearly identifiable on the basis of such affiliate’s name (clauses (a), (b) and (c) above, collectively “Disqualified Lenders”).

Without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication efforts as set forth herein, it is understood that the Initial Lender’s commitments hereunder are not conditioned upon the syndication of, or receipt of commitments or participations in respect of, the Facilities and in no event shall the commencement or successful completion of syndication of the Facilities constitute a condition to the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date. The Lead Arranger intends to commence syndication

efforts promptly upon the execution of this Commitment Letter and as part of its syndication efforts, it is its intent to have Lenders commit to the Facilities prior to the Closing Date (subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding paragraph). You agree actively to assist the Lead Arranger, until the earlier to occur of (i) a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) and (ii) 30 days after the Closing Date (such earlier date, the “Syndication Date”), in completing a timely syndication that is reasonably satisfactory to it and you. Such assistance shall include, without limitation, (a) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any syndication efforts benefit materially from your existing lending and investment banking relationships and the existing lending and investment banking relationships of the Sponsors and, to the extent not in contravention of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, the Company, (b) direct contact between senior management, representatives and advisors of you and the Investors, on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders, on the other hand (and your using commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent not in contravention of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, to ensure such contact between senior management, representatives and advisors of the Company, on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders, on the other hand), in all such cases at times and places mutually agreed upon, (c) your and the Sponsors’ assistance, and your using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to assist, to the extent not in contravention of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, in the preparation of customary confidential information memoranda for the Facilities (any such memorandum, a “Confidential Information Memorandum”) and other marketing materials to be used in connection with the syndications, (d) using your commercially reasonable efforts to procure a public corporate credit rating and a public corporate family rating in respect of Visant from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), respectively (or public ratings confirmations from S&P and Moody’s, as applicable), and public ratings for the Facilities from each of S&P and Moody’s, in each case, prior to the launch of syndication, (e) the hosting, with the Lead Arranger, of no more than two meetings of prospective Lenders at times and locations to be mutually agreed upon and (f) your ensuring (and with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries, to the extent not in contravention of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure) that there shall be no competing issues of debt securities, bridge loans or commercial bank or other credit facilities of the Company or Visant or any of its or your subsidiaries being offered, placed or arranged (other than (i) the Mirror Notes (or the issuance of any “demand securities” issued in lieu of the Mirror Notes or other indebtedness issued in lieu of the Mirror Notes that has otherwise been consented to by the Lead Arranger), (ii) the Buyer PIK Notes (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) and (iii) debt securities issued in lieu of the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility pursuant to the flex provisions set forth in the Fee Letter) if such debt securities, bridge loans or commercial bank or other credit facilities would, in the reasonable judgment of the Lead Arranger, materially impair the primary syndication of the Facilities (it is understood and agreed that any deferred purchase price obligations, ordinary course working capital facilities and ordinary course capital lease, purchase money and equipment financings will not be deemed to materially impair the primary syndication of the Facilities). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter or any other letter agreement or undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, neither the obtaining of the ratings referenced above nor the compliance with any of the other provisions set forth in clauses (a) through (f) above or any other provision of this paragraph shall constitute a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding of the Facilities on the Closing Date or at any time thereafter.

The Lead Arranger, in its capacity as such, will, in consultation with you, manage all aspects of any syndication of the Facilities, including decisions as to the selection of institutions reasonably acceptable to you to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate (subject to your consent rights and rights of appointment set forth in the second preceding paragraph), the allocation of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders from the amounts to be paid to the Commitment

Parties pursuant to this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter. To assist the Lead Arranger in its syndication efforts, you agree promptly to prepare and provide (and to use commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent not in contravention of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, to cause the Sponsors and the Company to provide) to the Lead Arranger all customary information with respect to you and the Company and each of your and its respective subsidiaries and the Transactions, including all financial information and projections (including financial estimates, budgets, forecasts and other forward-looking information, the “Projections”), as the Lead Arranger may reasonably request in connection with the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the Facilities. For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be required to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof would violate any law, rule or regulation binding upon you or any of your subsidiaries or affiliates or upon the Company or any of its respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the only historical financial statements that shall be required to be provided to the Commitment Parties in connection with the syndication of the Facilities shall be those required to be delivered pursuant to paragraphs 5 and 6 of Exhibit D.

You hereby represent and warrant that, and, with respect to the Company, that, to your knowledge, (a) all written information and written data (such information and data, other than (i) the Projections and (ii) information of a general economic or industry specific nature, the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to the Commitment Parties by or on behalf of you or any of your representatives, taken as a whole, is or will be, when furnished, correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto from time to time) and (b) the Projections that have been or will be made available to the Commitment Parties by or on behalf of you or any of your representatives have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that you believe to be reasonable at the time made and at the time the related Projections are so furnished to the Commitment Parties, it being understood that the Projections are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts, that the Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond your control, that no assurance can be given that any particular Projections will be realized and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections may differ significantly from the projected results and such differences may be material. You agree that if, at any time prior to the later of the Closing Date and the Syndication Date, you become aware that any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence would be, or, with respect to the Company, to the best of your knowledge would be, incorrect in any material respect if the Information and Projections were being furnished, and such representations and warranties were being made, at such time, then you will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly supplement the Information and the Projections so that such representations and warranties will be, and, with respect to the Company, to the best of your knowledge will be, correct in all material respects under those circumstances. In arranging and syndicating the Facilities, the Commitment Parties will be entitled to use and rely primarily on the Information and the Projections without responsibility for independent verification thereof.

You hereby acknowledge that (a) the Lead Arranger will make available Information and Projections to the proposed syndicate of Lenders by posting such Information and Projections on IntraLinks, SyndTrak Online or similar electronic means and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that wish to receive only information that (i) is publicly available, (ii) is not material with respect to you, the Company, your or its respective subsidiaries or the respective securities of any of the foregoing for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws or (iii) constitutes information of a type that would be publicly available if you, the Company, or your or its respective subsidiaries, were public reporting companies (as reasonably determined by you) (collectively, the “Public Side Information”; any information that is not Public Side Information, “Private Side

Information”)) and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to you, the Company, any of your or its respective subsidiaries or the respective securities of any of the foregoing (each, a “Public Sider” and each Lender that is not a Public Sider, a “Private Sider”).

If reasonably requested by the Lead Arranger, you will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist us in preparing a customary additional version of the Confidential Information Memorandum to be used in connection with the syndication of the Facilities that includes only Public Side Information with respect to you, the Company, your or its respective subsidiaries or the respective securities of any of the foregoing to be used by Public Siders. The Public Side Information will be substantially consistent with the information that would be included in any filings that would be required to be made by you, the Company, or any of your or its respective subsidiaries with the Securities and Exchange Commission if you, the Company or any of your or its respective subsidiaries were public reporting companies. It is understood that in connection with your assistance described above, customary authorization letters will be included in any Confidential Information Memorandum that authorize the distribution of the Confidential Information Memorandum to prospective Lenders, that contain the representations set forth in the second preceding paragraph (which representations as to the Company, in the case of authorization letters to be delivered by the Company, shall not be qualified by knowledge) (and represent that the additional version of the Confidential Information Memorandum contains only Public Side Information with respect to you, the Company, your or its respective subsidiaries and the respective securities of any of the foregoing (other than as set forth in the following paragraph)) and that exculpate you, the Investors, the Company and your and their respective subsidiaries and us with respect to any liability related to the use or misuse of the contents of the Confidential Information Memorandum or any related marketing material by the recipients thereof.

You agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Information that may be distributed to the Public Siders as “PUBLIC”. You agree that, subject to the confidentiality and other provisions of this Commitment Letter, the Lead Arranger on your behalf may distribute the following documents to all prospective lenders in the form provided to you and to your counsel a reasonable time prior to their distribution, unless you or your counsel advise the Lead Arranger in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distribution that such material should only be distributed to Private Siders: (a) the Term Sheets, (b) interim and final drafts of the Facilities Documentation, (c) administrative materials prepared by the Lead Arranger for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, allocations and funding and closing memoranda) and (d) changes in the terms of the Facilities. If you advise us that any of the foregoing items should be distributed only to Private Siders, then the Lead Arranger will not distribute such materials to Public Siders without your consent.

As consideration for the commitments of the Initial Lender hereunder and for the agreement of the Lead Arranger and the Bookrunner to perform the services described herein, you agree to pay (or cause to be paid) the fees set forth in the Term Sheets and in the Fee Letter dated the date hereof and delivered herewith with respect to the Facilities (the “Fee Letter”), if and to the extent payable. Once paid, such fees shall not be refundable under any circumstances, except as otherwise contemplated by the Fee Letter.

The commitments of the Initial Lender hereunder to fund the Facilities on the Closing Date and the agreements of the Lead Arranger and the Bookrunner to perform the services described herein are subject solely to (a) the applicable conditions set forth in the section entitled “Conditions to Initial Borrowing” in Exhibit B hereto and in the section entitled “Conditions to Borrowing” in Exhibit C hereto and (b) the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit D hereto, and upon satisfaction (or waiver by the Commitment Parties) of such conditions, the initial funding of the Facilities shall occur, it being understood that there are no conditions (implied or otherwise) to the commitments hereunder, including

compliance with the terms of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or the Facilities Documentation, other than those that are expressly stated in the section entitled “Conditions to Initial Borrowing” in Exhibit B, in the section entitled “Conditions to Borrowing” in Exhibit C hereto and in Exhibit D to be conditions to the initial funding under the Facilities on the Closing Date.2

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Commitment Letter (including each of the exhibits attached hereto), the Fee Letter, the Facilities Documentation or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary (but subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement in the event that the Incremental Election is exercised as described in footnote 2 above), (i) the only representations and warranties the making of which shall be a condition to the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date shall be (A) such of the representations and warranties made by the Company with respect to the Company, its subsidiaries and their respective businesses in the Acquisition Agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that you (or one of your affiliates) have the right (taking into account any applicable cure provisions) to terminate your (or its) obligations under the Acquisition Agreement or decline to consummate the Acquisition as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties in the Acquisition Agreement (to such extent, the “Company Representations”) and (B) the Specified Representations (as defined below) and (ii) the terms of the Facilities Documentation shall be in a form such that they do not impair the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date if the conditions set forth in the section entitled “Conditions to Initial Borrowing” in Exhibit B hereto, in the section entitled “Conditions to Borrowing” in Exhibit C hereto and in Exhibit D hereto are satisfied (or waived by the Commitment Parties) (provided that, to the extent any security interest in any Collateral (as defined in Exhibit B) is not or cannot be provided and/or perfected on the Closing Date (other than the pledge and perfection of the security interests (1) in the certificated equity securities of Visant, the Company and any of their material wholly-owned U.S. domestic subsidiaries (to the extent required by the Term Sheets (provided that such certificated equity securities, other than certificated equity securities of Visant, its material wholly-owned U.S. domestic subsidiaries and the Company, will be required to be delivered on the Closing Date only to the extent received from the Company after your use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so)) and (2) in other assets with respect to which a lien may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code) after your use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so or without undue burden or expense, then the provision and/or perfection of a security interest in such Collateral shall not constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date but instead shall be required to be delivered after the Closing Date pursuant to arrangements and timing to be mutually agreed (but, in any event, not later than 90 days after the Closing Date or such longer period as may be agreed by the Bank Administrative Agent) by the Bank Administrative Agent and Visant acting reasonably). For purposes hereof, “Specified Representations” means the representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties (as defined in Exhibit B) to be set forth in the Facilities Documentation relating to the corporate or other organizational existence of the Credit Parties, power and authority, due authorization, execution, delivery and enforceability, in each case related to the borrowing under, guaranteeing under, granting of security interests in the Collateral to, and performance of, the Facilities Documentation; the incurrence of the loans and the provision of the Guarantees, in each case under the Facilities, and the granting of the security interests in the Collateral to secure the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility, not conflicting with the Credit Parties’ constitutional documents or material debt documents; solvency as of the Closing Date (after giving effect to the Transactions) of Visant and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (solvency to be defined in a manner consistent with the manner in which solvency is defined in the solvency certificate to be delivered

 

2  In the event that the Incremental Option is exercised, all conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter (including Exhibit D hereto) and all conditions set forth or referred to in Section 2.15 of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be required to be satisfied (or amended or waived in accordance with the terms hereof or of the Existing Credit Agreement, as applicable).

pursuant to paragraph 11 of Exhibit D); creation, validity and perfection of security interests in the Collateral to be perfected on the Closing Date (subject to permitted liens and the foregoing provisions of this paragraph relating to Collateral); Federal Reserve margin regulations; the use of loan proceeds not violating the PATRIOT Act; and the Investment Company Act. This paragraph, and the provisions herein, shall be referred to as the “Funding Conditions Provisions”. Without limiting the conditions precedent provided herein to funding the consummation of the Acquisition with the proceeds of the Facilities, the Lead Arranger will cooperate with you as reasonably requested in coordinating the timing and procedures for the funding of the Facilities in a manner consistent with the Acquisition Agreement.

You agree (a) to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Commitment Parties, its respective affiliates and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, members and the successors of each of the foregoing, but excluding any Investor in its capacity as such and such related parties to such Investor in such capacity (each, other than such excluded parties, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of any kind or nature and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, joint or several, to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject, to the extent arising out of or in connection with any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding, actual or threatened, relating to this Commitment Letter (including the Term Sheets), the Fee Letter, the Transactions, the Facilities or any related transaction contemplated hereby (any of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”), regardless of whether any such Indemnified Person is a party thereto and whether such Proceeding is brought by you or any other person, and to reimburse each such Indemnified Person upon demand for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing by one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, by a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for all such Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnified Person affected by such conflict notifies you of the existence of such conflict and thereafter, after receipt of your consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), retains its own counsel, by another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnified Person) or other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing; provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent that they have resulted from (i) the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person or any of such Indemnified Person’s affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, members or the successors of any of the foregoing (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), (ii) a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnified Person (or any of such Indemnified Person’s affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, members or the successors of any of the foregoing) under this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or the Facilities Documentation (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), (iii) in the case of a Proceeding initiated by you or one of your permitted assignees against the relevant Indemnified Person, a breach of the obligations of such Indemnified Person or any of such Indemnified Person’s affiliates or of any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents of any of the foregoing under this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or the Facilities Documentation (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) or (iv) any Proceeding not arising from any act or omission by you or any of your affiliates that is brought by an Indemnified Person against any other Indemnified Person (other than disputes involving claims against the Lead Arranger or the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such), and (b) to reimburse each Commitment Party and each Indemnified Person from time to time, upon presentation of a summary statement, for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including but not limited to expenses of each Commitment Party’s due diligence investigation, consultants’ fees (to the extent any such consultant has been retained with your prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)), syndication expenses, travel expenses and reasonable fees, disbursements and other

b) Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof (together with all exhibits and schedules thereto, collectively, as amended, the “Acquisition Agreement”) entered into with the Company, Jostens will purchase all of the outstanding equity interests in the Company (the “Acquisition”) in accordance with the terms thereof.

c) The Borrower will obtain up to $260.0 million under the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility, issue approximately $68.8 million of Buyer PIK Notes (or such other amount as required pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement dated as of the date hereof) and issue the full amount of the Mirror Notes, in each case on or prior to the Closing Date of the Acquisition; provided that if and to the extent that the Mirror Notes issued on or prior to the Closing Date yield (for the avoidance of doubt, after taking into account the issue price thereof (without further reduction to take into account fees and initial purchasers’ discounts)) less than $100.0 million in gross proceeds, the Commitment Parties shall provide Bridge Loans to the Borrower in an amount sufficient to, when taken together with the aggregate amount of gross proceeds from the issued Mirror Notes, yield (for the avoidance of doubt, after taking into account the issue price thereof (without further reduction to take into account fees and initial purchasers’ discounts)) combined gross proceeds of $100.0 million.

 

d) It is understood that all amounts outstanding (other than contingent obligations) under (i) that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2010 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Target Existing Credit Facility”), by and among the Company, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and General Electric Capital Corporation, as administrative agent and (ii) the 10.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2016 of a subsidiary of the Company, will be repaid and/or satisfied and discharged and all commitments in respect thereof will be terminated and all liens on collateral in respect thereof will be released (clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Repaid Indebtedness”).

Incremental Facilities:    The Senior Secured Term Loan Facility will permit the Borrower to add one or more incremental term loan facilities to the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility (each, an “Incremental Term Facility”; the Incremental Term Facilities are collectively referred to as “Incremental Facilities”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100 million if, after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional amount, the Consolidated Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (defined in a manner consistent with the Documentation Principles (as defined below)) is equal to or less than 3.75:1.00; provided that (i) no existing Bank Lender will be required to participate in any such Incremental Facilities, (ii) no event of default exists, or would exist after, giving effect thereto (except in connection with permitted acquisitions, where no payment or bankruptcy event of default will be the standard), (iii) the final maturity date and the weighted average maturity of any such Incremental Term Facility shall not be earlier

Final Maturity:    The Term Loan Facility will mature on the date that is 91 days after the maturity date of any term loans made under the Existing Credit Agreement (as defined below)) (the “Maturity Date”); provided that the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility Documentation shall provide the right of individual Term Loan Lenders to agree to

Guarantees:    All obligations of the Borrower (the “Obligations”) under (i) the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility will be unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on an equal priority senior secured basis (the “Guarantees”) by Visant Secondary Holdings Corp. (“Holdings”) and each subsidiary of the Borrower that provides a guarantee of the obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement (the “Subsidiary Guarantors” and, together with Holdings, the “Guarantors”; the Guarantors together with the Borrower, the “Credit Parties”). Any guarantees to be issued in respect of the Mirror Notes or the Bridge Loans (x) will be equal in right of payment with the obligations under the Guarantees and (y) will automatically be released upon the release of the corresponding guarantees under the Existing Credit Agreement and the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility.
   Subject to the investments covenant in the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility Documentation and no continuing event of default, the Borrower may designate any subsidiary as an “unrestricted subsidiary” and subsequently redesignate any such unrestricted subsidiary as a restricted subsidiary. Unrestricted subsidiaries will be excluded from the guarantee requirements and will not be subject to the representations and warranties, covenants, events of default or other provisions of the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility Documentation, and the results of operations and indebtedness of unrestricted subsidiaries will not be taken into account for purposes of calculating any financial metric contained in the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility Documentation except to the extent of distributions received therefrom.

   The Borrower may elect interest periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months (or, if available to all relevant Bank Lenders, 12 months or a shorter period) for LIBOR borrowings.
   Calculation of interest shall be on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year of 360 days (or 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, in the case of ABR loans based on the Prime Rate) and interest shall be payable at the end of each interest period and, in any event, at least every 3 months and on the applicable maturity date.
   ABR is the highest of (i) the rate of interest publicly announced by the Bank Administrative Agent as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City (the “Prime Rate”), (ii) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50% and (iii) LIBOR applicable for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%; provided that ABR shall be deemed to be no less than 2.00% per annum.
   LIBOR is the London interbank offered rate for dollars, for the relevant interest period; provided that LIBOR shall be deemed to be no less than 1.00% per annum.
Prepayment Premium:    In the event of any voluntary prepayment or refinancing (other than a refinancing of the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility in connection with any transaction that would, if consummated, constitute a change of control, initial public offering or Transformative Acquisition (as defined below)) of the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility in whole or in part with other broadly syndicated term loans under credit facilities with a lower Effective Yield (as defined below) than the Effective Yield of the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility, or any amendment (other than an amendment of the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility in connection with any transaction that would, if consummated, constitute a change of control, initial public offering or Transformative Acquisition) that reduces the Effective Yield of the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility (or any mandatory assignment of Term Loans in connection with any such amendment), in either case that occurs prior to the six month anniversary of the Closing Date and the primary purpose of which is to lower the Effective Yield on the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility, each such prepayment, refinancing, amendment or assignment shall be subject to a prepayment premium of 1.0% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Term Loans so prepaid, refinanced, amended or assigned. For the purposes of the foregoing, (i) “Transformative Acquisition” shall mean any acquisition by the Borrower or any restricted subsidiary that is either (a) not permitted by the terms of the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility Documentation immediately prior to the consummation of such acquisition or (b) if permitted by the terms of the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility Documentation immediately prior to the consummation of such acquisition, would not provide the Borrower and its subsidiaries with adequate flexibility under the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility Documentation for the continuation and/or expansion of their combined operations following such consummation, as determined by the Borrower acting in good faith and (ii) “Effective Yield” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the sum of (x) the higher of (A) the LIBOR rate on such date for a deposit in dollars with a maturity of one month and (B) the LIBOR floor, if any, with respect thereto as of such date, (y) the interest rate margins as of such date, (with such interest rate margin and interest spreads to be determined by reference to the LIBOR rate) and (z) the amount of OID and upfront fees thereon (converted to yield assuming a four-year average life or, if shorter, actual average life, and without any present value discount).

Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions

All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Commitment Letter to which this term sheet is attached, including Exhibit A thereto.

 

Borrower:    The Borrower under the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility (the “Borrower”).
Transactions:    As set forth in Exhibit A to the Commitment Letter.
Bridge Administrative Agent:    Credit Suisse AG (“CS”) will act as the sole and exclusive administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Bridge Administrative Agent”) for a syndicate of banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders and investors reasonably acceptable to the Bridge Lead Arranger and (without limiting anything under “Assignment and Participation” below) the Borrower excluding any Disqualified Lender (together with the Initial Bridge Lender, the “Bridge Lenders”), and will perform the duties customarily associated with such role.
Bridge Sole Bookrunner and Lead Arranger:    CS Securities will act as the sole lead arranger and bookrunner (in such capacity, the “Bridge Lead Arranger”) and will perform the duties customarily associated with such roles.
Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent or Co-Documentation Agents:    The Borrower may designate additional financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the Lead Arranger (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) to act as syndication agent, documentation agent or co-documentation agent as provided in the Commitment Letter.
Senior Unsecured Bridge Loans:    The Bridge Lenders will make senior unsecured fixed rate loans (the “Bridge Loans”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to, when taking into account the All-In-Issue Price (as defined below) of the Bridge Loans, yield (for the avoidance of doubt, after taking into account the issue price thereof (without further reduction to take into account fees and initial purchasers’ discounts)), an aggregate amount of gross proceeds of $100.0 million minus the aggregate amount (for the avoidance of doubt, after taking into account the issue price thereof (without further reduction to take into account fees and initial purchasers’ discounts)) of gross proceeds from any Mirror Notes and Securities (as defined in the Fee Letter) issued on or prior to the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the use of “gross proceeds” herein is specifically intended to be distinguished and different from the “principal amount” of any such instrument.
Availability:    The Bridge Lenders will make the Bridge Loans on the Closing Date simultaneously with (a) the consummation of the Acquisition and (b) the initial funding under the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility. Amounts borrowed under the Bridge Facility that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

[Bridge Term Sheet]


Ranking:    The Bridge Loans will rank equal in right of payment with the Borrower’s 10% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “Existing Senior Notes”) and other senior indebtedness of the Borrower and will not be secured.

Such Exchange Notes shall be issued as additional Existing Senior Notes pursuant to that certain Indenture, dated as of September 22, 2010, among the Borrower, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association (the “Senior Notes Indenture”) and shall have terms applicable to the Existing Senior Notes thereunder as described in Annex I to this Exhibit C. For purposes of the Commitment Letter and Fee Letter, references to the “Senior Notes Indenture” and the “Existing Senior Notes” shall mean each of those instruments as in effect on the date hereof, without giving effect to any further amendments, waivers, modifications or other changes thereto.
   The Bridge Loans and the Exchange Notes shall rank equal in right of payment for all purposes.

Default Rate:    Overdue principal, interest, fees and other amounts shall bear interest at the applicable interest rate plus 2.00% per annum.
   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event shall any cap or limit on the yield or interest rate payable with respect to the Bridge Loans or Exchange Notes affect the payment of any default rate of interest in respect of any Bridge Loan or Exchange Notes.
Mandatory Prepayment:    The Borrower will be required to make an offer to prepay the Bridge Loans on a pro rata basis, which offer shall be at 100% of the principal amount thereof with a portion of the net cash proceeds of all non-ordinary course asset sales by the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries in excess of amounts either reinvested or required to be paid to the lenders under the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility or to holders of certain other indebtedness, subject to the Bridge/Bond Documentation Principles (it being agreed that, as between the holders of Bridge Loans and the holders of Existing Senior Notes, any such prepayment shall be offered to each class of holders on a pro rata basis). The Borrower will also be required to offer to prepay the Bridge Loans following the occurrence of a change of control (to be defined in a manner consistent with the Bridge/Bond Documentation Principles) at 101% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, subject to the Bridge/Bond Documentation Principles.
Optional Prepayment:    The Bridge Loans may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at a prepayment price that shall be equal to the redemption price that would otherwise then be applicable to outstanding Existing Senior Notes under the Senior Notes Indenture at the time of such prepayment, plus accrued and unpaid interest, upon not less than three days’ prior written notice, at the option of the Borrower at any time.
Documentation:    The definitive documentation for the Bridge Facility (the “Bridge Facility Documentation”) shall contain the terms set forth in this Exhibit C and shall otherwise be negotiated in good faith within a reasonable time period to be determined based on the expected Closing Date and substantially consistent with the

CONFIDENTIAL   ANNEX D-I

Form of Solvency Certificate

Date:                     

To the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement referred to below:

I, the undersigned, a senior authorized financial officer of             , a                           (the “Borrower”), in that capacity only and not in my individual capacity (and without personal liability), do hereby certify as of the date hereof, and based upon facts and circumstances as they exist as of the date hereof (and disclaiming any responsibility for changes in such fact and circumstances after the date hereof), that:

1. This certificate is furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section             of the Credit Agreement, dated as of                  , 2013, among                      (the “Credit Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

2. For purposes of this certificate, the terms below shall have the following definitions:

(a) “Fair Value”

The amount at which the assets (both tangible and intangible), in their entirety, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, within a commercially reasonable period of time, each having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, with neither being under any compulsion to act.

(b) “Present Fair Salable Value”

The amount that could be obtained by an independent willing seller from an independent willing buyer if the assets (both tangible and intangible) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole are sold on a going concern basis with reasonable promptness in an arm’s-length transaction under present conditions for the sale of comparable business enterprises insofar as such conditions can be reasonably evaluated.

(c) “Stated Liabilities”

The recorded liabilities (including contingent liabilities that would be recorded in accordance with GAAP) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, as of the date hereof after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions (including the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement, the making of the Loans and the use of proceeds of such Loans on the date hereof), determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.

(d) “Identified Contingent Liabilities”

The maximum estimated amount of liabilities reasonably likely to result from pending litigation, asserted claims and assessments, guaranties, uninsured risks and other contingent liabilities of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole after giving effect to the Transactions (including the

 

[Solvency Certificate]


execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement, the making of the Loans and the use of proceeds of such Loans on the date hereof) (including all fees and expenses related thereto but exclusive of such contingent liabilities to the extent reflected in Stated Liabilities), as identified and explained in terms of their nature and estimated magnitude by responsible officers of the Borrower.

(e) “Will be able to pay their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as they mature”

For the period from the date hereof through the Maturity Date, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole will have sufficient assets and cash flow to pay their respective Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as those liabilities mature or (in the case of Identified Contingent Liabilities) otherwise become payable, in light of business conducted or anticipated to be conducted by the Credit Parties as reflected in the projected financial statements and in light of the anticipated credit capacity.

(f) “Do not have Unreasonably Small Capital”

For the period from the date hereof through the Maturity Date, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole after consummation of the Transactions (including the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement, the making of the Loans and the use of proceeds of such Loans on the date hereof) is a going concern and has sufficient capital to reasonably ensure that it will continue to be a going concern for such period. I understand that “unreasonably small capital” depends upon the nature of the particular business or businesses conducted or to be conducted, and I have reached my conclusion based on the needs and anticipated needs for capital of the business conducted or anticipated to be conducted by the Credit Parties as reflected in the projected financial statements and in light of the anticipated credit capacity.

3. For purposes of this certificate, I, or officers of the Borrower under my direction and supervision, have performed the following procedures as of and for the periods set forth below.

(a) I have reviewed the financial statements (including the pro forma financial statements) referred to in Section      of the Credit Agreement.

(b) I have knowledge of and have reviewed to my satisfaction the Credit Agreement.

(c) As a senior authorized financial officer of the Borrower, I am familiar with the financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

4. Based on and subject to the foregoing, I hereby certify on behalf of the Borrower that after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions (including the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement, the making of the Loans and the use of proceeds of such Loans on the date hereof), it is my opinion that (i) the Fair Value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole exceed their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities, (ii) the Present Fair Salable Value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole exceed their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities; (iii) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole do not have Unreasonably Small Capital; and (iv) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole will be able to pay their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as they mature.
