WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

        We and our guarantor subsidiaries have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act with respect to the notes being offered hereby. This prospectus, which forms a part of the registration statement, does not contain all of the information set forth in the registration statement. For further information with respect to us and the notes, reference is made to the registration statement. Statements contained in this prospectus as to the contents of any contract or other document are not necessarily complete. We and our guarantor subsidiaries are subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in accordance therewith, file reports and other information with the SEC. The registration statement, such reports and other information can be read and copied at the Public Reference Room of the SEC located at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington D.C. 20549. Copies of such materials, including copies of all or any portion of the registration statement, can be obtained from the Public Reference Room of the SEC at prescribed rates.

We and our guarantor subsidiaries have agreed that, even if we and our guarantor subsidiaries are not required under the Exchange Act to furnish such information to the SEC, we will nonetheless continue to furnish information that would be required to be furnished by us and our guarantor subsidiaries by Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

SUMMARY

        This summary highlights material information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. You should read the entire prospectus carefully. This prospectus contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus. All references to a particular fiscal year of Visant Corporation, or Visant, are to the four fiscal quarters ended the Saturday nearest to December 31.

Our Company

        In this document, references to the "Company," "Visant," "we," "our," or "us" refer to Visant Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, and references to "Visant Holding," "Holdings," "our parent" and "our parent company" refer to our indirect parent, Visant Holding Corp. Visant Corporation operates Jostens, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Jostens"), Von Hoffmann Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Von Hoffmann"), AHC I Acquisition Corp. and its subsidiaries ("Arcade"), Dixon Direct Corp. ("Dixon") and Neff Holding Company and its subsidiary ("Neff").

        We are a leading marketing and publishing services enterprise servicing the school affinity, direct marketing, fragrance and cosmetics sampling and educational publishing markets. We were formed through the October 2004 consolidation of Jostens, Von Hoffmann and Arcade.

        On June 8, 2006, we entered into definitive agreements to sell our Jostens Photography businesses, which previously comprised a reportable segment. The transactions closed on June 30, 2006. The discontinued operations of the Jostens Photography businesses are excluded from the consolidated financial statements retrospective from the date of disposition.

        On June 16, 2006, we acquired, through a wholly owned subsidiary, substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of the Dixon Web operation of the Sleepeck Printing Company, a provider of innovative marketing services and products located in Dixon, Illinois. At the time of acquisition, the name of the business was changed to Dixon Direct Corp. The results of Dixon's operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date.

        On September 8, 2006, a newly formed subsidiary of ours acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of the Vertis, Inc. fragrance sampling business. The acquired business currently operates under the Arcade Marketing name. The acquisition was a strategic step to continue to expand our Marketing and Publishing Services segment, which services the fragrance, cosmetic, personal care and other consumer product market segments. The results of these acquired operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date.

        As of December 2006, our Von Hoffmann Holdings Inc., Von Hoffmann Corporation and Anthology, Inc. businesses were held as assets for sale. On January 3, 2007, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Von Hoffmann Stock Purchase Agreement") with R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company providing for the sale of Von Hoffmann Holdings Inc., Von Hoffmann Corporation and Anthology, Inc., which previously comprised the Educational Textbook segment and a portion of the Marketing and Publishing Services segment. The regulatory review of the proposed transaction through a second request by the Federal Trade Commission has been completed, and we expect to close the transaction on or about May 16, 2007. The operations of the Von Hoffmann businesses are reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

        On March 16, 2007, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Neff Holding Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Neff Motivation, Inc. Neff is a leading single source provider of custom award programs and apparel, including chenille letters and letter jackets, to the scholastic market segment. Neff operates as a direct subsidiary of Visant under the Neff brand name and its results will

1



be reported from the date of acquisition together with the results of the Jostens scholastic operations as the renamed Scholastic segment.

        Our three reportable segments as of December 30, 2006 consisted of:

    Jostens Scholastic—provides services related to the marketing, sale and production of class rings, graduation products and other scholastic products;

    Jostens Yearbook—provides services related to the publication, marketing, sale and production of school yearbooks; and

    Marketing and Publishing Services—produces multi-sensory and interactive advertising sampling systems, primarily for the fragrance, cosmetics and personal care market segments, and provides innovative products and services to the direct marketing sector. The group also produces book covers and other components for educational publishers.

Jostens

        Jostens is a leading provider of school-related affinity products and services that help people celebrate important moments, recognize achievements and build affiliation. Founded in 1897, Jostens has a history of providing quality products, which has enabled it to develop long-standing relationships with school administrators throughout the country. Jostens' high degree of customer satisfaction translates into annual retention rates of over 90% in its major product lines. Jostens' products and services are predominantly offered to North American high school and college students, through a national network of primarily independent sales representatives and associates.

        Jostens' operations are reported in two segments: (1) Scholastic and (2) Yearbook.

        Scholastic.    Jostens is one of the leading providers of services related to the marketing, sale and production of class rings and an array of graduation products, such as caps, gowns, diplomas and announcements and graduation-related accessories. In the Scholastic segment, Jostens primarily serves U.S. high schools, colleges, universities and other specialty markets, marketing and selling its products to students and administrators through independent sales representatives. Jostens provides a high level of customer service in the marketing and sale of class rings and certain other graduation products, which often involves a high degree of customization. Jostens also provides ongoing warranty service on its class and affiliation rings. Jostens maintains product-specific tooling as well as a library of school logos and mascots that can be used repeatedly for specific school accounts over time. In addition to its class ring offerings, Jostens also designs, manufactures, markets and sells championship rings for professional sports and affinity rings for a variety of specialty markets.

        Yearbook.    Jostens is one of the leading providers of services related to the publication, marketing, sale and production of yearbooks, primarily serving U.S. high schools, colleges, universities and middle schools. Jostens generates the majority of its revenues from high school accounts. Jostens' sales representatives and technical support employees assist students and faculty advisers with the planning and layout of yearbooks, including through the provision of on-line layout and editorial tools to assist in the publication of the yearbook. With a new class of students each year and periodic faculty advisor turnover, Jostens' independent sales representatives and customer service employees are the main point of continuity for the yearbook production process on a year-to-year basis.

Marketing and Publishing Services

        The Marketing and Publishing Services segment produces multi-sensory and interactive advertising sampling systems, primarily for the fragrance, cosmetics and personal care market segment, and innovative, highly personalized products primarily targeted at the direct marketing sector. We are also a leading producer of supplemental materials and related components such as decorative covers and

plastic transparencies for educational publishers. With over a 100-year history as Arcade Marketing, we pioneered our ScentStrip® product in 1980. We also offer an extensive portfolio of proprietary, patented and patent-pending technologies that can be incorporated into various marketing programs designed to reach the consumer at home or in-store, including magazine and catalog inserts, remittance envelopes, statement enclosures, blow-ins, direct mail, direct sell and point-of-sale materials and gift-with-purchase/purchase-with-purchase programs. We specialize in high-quality, in-line finished products and can accommodate large marketing projects with a wide range of dimensional products and in-line finishing production, data processing and mailing services. Our personalized imaging capabilities offer individualized messages to each recipient within a geographical area or demographic group for targeted marketing efforts.


Company Background

        On October 4, 2004, an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., or KKR, and affiliates of DLJ Merchant Banking Partners III, L.P., or DLJMBP III (together with KKR, the "Sponsors"), completed a series of transactions, which created a marketing and publishing services enterprise servicing the school affinity, direct marketing, fragrance and cosmetics sampling and educational publishing market segments through the consolidation of Jostens, Von Hoffmann and Arcade (the "Transactions").

        Prior to the Transactions, Von Hoffmann and Arcade were each controlled by affiliates of DLJ Merchant Banking Partners II, L.P., or DLJMBP II, and DLJMBP III owned approximately 82.5% of our outstanding equity, with the remainder held by other co-investors and certain members of management. Upon consummation of the Transactions, an affiliate of KKR invested $256.1 million and was issued equity interests representing approximately 49.6% of our voting interest and 45.0% of our economic interest, and affiliates of DLJMBP III held equity interests representing approximately 41.0% of Holdings' voting interest and 45.0% of Holdings' economic interest, with the remainder held by other co-investors and certain members of management. Approximately $175.6 million of the proceeds were distributed to certain stockholders, and certain treasury stock held by Von Hoffmann was redeemed. After giving effect to the issuance of equity to additional members of management, as of April 23, 2007, affiliates of KKR and DLJMBP III held approximately 49.0% and 41.0%, respectively, of Holdings' voting interest, while each continued to hold approximately 44.6% of Holdings' economic interest. As of April 23, 2007, the other co-investors held approximately 8.4% of the voting interest and 9.1% of the economic interest of Holdings, and members of management held approximately 1.6% of the voting interest and approximately 1.7% of the economic interest of Holdings.

Summary Historical Consolidated Financial Data

        The tables below set forth a summary of our historical consolidated financial data at the dates and for the periods indicated. The summary historical consolidated financial data should be read in conjunction with "Selected Financial Data", "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

        As a result of our parent's merger with a subsidiary established by DLJMBP III on July 29, 2003 (the "2003 Jostens merger"), Jostens applied purchase accounting, which resulted in a new valuation for the assets and liabilities of Jostens to their fair values. In addition, as a result of the 2003 Jostens merger, we have accounted for the combination of Visant, Von Hoffmann and Arcade as entities under common control. The consolidated financial data of Visant set forth below consolidate the historical consolidated financial data of Jostens, Von Hoffmann and Arcade after July 29, 2003 as a result of the common ownership of Jostens, Von Hoffmann and Arcade by affiliates of DLJMBP III on such date. As described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, certain operations of Von Hoffmann are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The summary consolidated financial data of Visant prior to July 29, 2003 are those of Jostens, as the predecessor of Visant, and have been prepared using Jostens' historical basis of accounting.

(1)
Certain selected financial data have been reclassified for all periods presented to reflect the results of discontinued operations consisting of certain Von Hoffmann businesses in December 2006, our Jostens Photography businesses in June 2006 and the exit of Jostens' Recognition business in December 2001.

(2)
For 2005 and 2004, transaction costs represented $1.2 million and $6.8 million, respectively, of expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions. For the successor period in 2003, transaction costs represented $0.2 million of expenses incurred in connection with the 2003 Jostens merger. For the predecessor period in 2003, transaction costs represented $31.0 million of expenses incurred in connection with the 2003 Jostens merger.

(3)
For 2006, the Company recorded $2.3 million relating to an impairment loss to reduce the value of Jostens former corporate office buildings, which were later sold, and net $0.1 million of special charges for severance and related benefit costs. For 2005, special charges consisted of restructuring charges of $5.1 million for employee severance related to closed facilities and $0.3 million related to a withdrawal liability under a union retirement plan that arose in connection with the consolidation of certain operations. For 2004, special charges consisted of $11.8 million of restructuring charges consisting primarily of severance costs for the termination of senior executives and other employees associated with reorganization activity as a result of the Transactions.

(4)
For 2004, loss on redemption of debt represented a loss of $31.5 million in connection with repayment of all existing indebtedness and remaining preferred stock of Jostens and Arcade in conjunction with the Transactions and a loss of $0.4 million in connection with the repurchase of $5.0 million principal amount of Jostens' 12.75% senior subordinated notes prior to the Transactions. For the successor period in 2003, loss on redemption of debt represented a loss of $0.4 million in connection with the repurchase of $8.5 million principal amount of Jostens' 12.75% senior subordinated notes. For the predecessor period in 2003, loss on redemption of debt represented a loss of $13.9 million consisting of the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs in connection with refinancing Jostens' senior secured credit facility. For 2002, loss on redemption of debt represented a loss of $1.8 million in connection with the repurchase of $7.5 million principal amount of Jostens' 12.75% senior subordinated notes.

(5)
For the purposes of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings represent income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense (including capitalized interest) on all indebtedness plus amortization of debt issuance costs (and for any period subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 150, accretion of preferred stock dividends), and the portion of rental expense that we believe is representative of the interest component of rental expense. For 2004 and the successor period in 2003, earnings did not cover fixed charges by $78.6 million and $70.1 million, respectively.

(6)
Liquidation preference of redeemable preferred stock as of the end of 2003 and 2002 was $222.6 million and $86.3 million, respectively.

RISK FACTORS

        Your investment in the notes will involve substantial risks. You should carefully consider the following material factors in addition to the other information set forth in this prospectus before you decide to purchase the notes offered hereby. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and our ability to make payments on the notes would likely suffer. In such case the trading price of the notes could fall, and you may lose all or part of your original investment.

Risks Relating to Our Business

        If we fail to implement our business strategy, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

        Our future financial performance and success are dependent in large part upon our ability to implement our business strategy successfully. Our business strategy envisions several initiatives, including marketing and selling strategies to drive growth, enhancing our core product and service offerings and continuing to improve operating efficiencies and asset utilization. We may not be able to successfully implement our business strategy or achieve the benefits of our business plan. If we are unable to do so, our long-term growth and profitability may be adversely affected. Even if we are able to successfully implement some or all of the initiatives of our business plan, our operating results may not improve to the extent we expect, or at all.

        Implementation of our business strategy could also be affected by a number of factors beyond our control, such as increased competition, legal developments, general economic conditions or increased operating costs or expenses. In addition, to the extent we have misjudged the nature and extent of industry trends or our competition, we may have difficulty achieving our strategic objectives. We may also decide to alter or discontinue certain aspects of our business strategy at any time. Any failure to successfully implement our business strategy may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and thus our ability to service our indebtedness, including our ability to make principal and interest payments on our indebtedness.

        We may not be able to continue to realize all of our expected cost savings and benefits from the Transactions.

        Our original business plan anticipated net potential annualized cost savings of between $22 million and $30 million, with the cost to implement such plan being approximately $10 million. Our cost savings have been realized primarily through procurement initiatives aimed at reducing the costs of materials and services used in our operations and reducing corporate and administrative expenses. The scope of our cost savings plan is broad and significant and may cause losses to our business that we cannot predict. A variety of factors could cause us not to continue to realize the annual benefits of the savings plan, including our inability to continue to obtain lower raw material prices. Our inability to continue to realize cost savings could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        We may not be able to consummate additional acquisitions and dispositions on acceptable terms, and future acquisitions and dispositions may be disruptive.

        As part of our business strategy, we may continue to pursue strategic acquisitions and dispositions to leverage our existing infrastructure, expand our geographic reach, broaden our product and service offerings and focus on our higher growth businesses. Acquisitions and dispositions involve a number of risks and present financial, managerial and operational challenges, including:

    diversion of management attention from existing businesses;

    difficulty with integration of personnel and financial and other systems;

10


    increased expenses, including compensation expenses resulting from newly hired employees;

    regulatory challenges; and

    potential disputes with the sellers of acquired businesses, technologies, services or products or with the buyers of disposed businesses.

        Our ability to continue to consummate acquisitions will be limited by our ability to identify appropriate acquisition candidates on acceptable terms and our financial resources, including available cash and borrowing capacity. In addition, we could experience financial or other setbacks if any of the businesses that we have acquired or invested in have problems or liabilities of which we are not aware. We may not be able to continue to consummate acquisitions or dispositions, and we may experience disruption in our businesses as a result.

        We are subject to competition.

        We face competition in our businesses from a number of companies, some of which have substantial financial and other resources. Our future financial performance will depend, in large part, on our ability to establish and maintain an advantageous market position. Because of substantial resources, some of our competitors may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer preferences or to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products than we can. We expect to meet significant competition from existing competitors with entrenched positions and may face additional competition from new competitors, with respect to our existing product lines and new products we might introduce. Further, competitors might expand their product offerings, either through internal product development or acquisitions of our direct competitors. These competitors could introduce products or establish prices for their products in a manner that could adversely affect our ability to compete or result in pricing pressures. Additionally, increases in competition could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. To maintain a competitive advantage, we may need to make increased investment in product development, manufacturing capabilities and sales and marketing.

        The seasonality of our industries could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        We experience seasonal fluctuations in our net sales tied primarily to the North American school year. We recorded approximately 40% of our annual net sales for our continuing operations for fiscal 2006 during the second quarter of our fiscal year. Jostens generates a significant portion of its annual net sales in the second quarter. Deliveries of caps, gowns and diplomas for spring graduation ceremonies and spring deliveries of school yearbooks are the key drivers of Jostens' seasonality. The net sales of sampling and other direct mail and commercial printed products have also historically reflected seasonal variations, and we expect these businesses to continue to generate a majority of their annual net sales during our third and fourth quarters for the foreseeable future. These seasonal variations are based on the timing of customers' advertising campaigns, which have traditionally been concentrated prior to the Christmas and spring holiday seasons. Net sales of textbooks are impacted seasonally by state and local schoolbook purchasing schedules, which commence in the spring and peak in the summer months preceding the start of the school year. The college textbook market is also seasonal with the majority of textbook sales occurring during June through August and November through January. Significant amounts of inventory are acquired by publishers prior to those periods in order to meet customer delivery requirements. Our textbook business is currently presented as discontinued operations.

        The seasonality of our businesses requires us to manage our cash flows carefully over the course of the year. If we fail to manage our cash flows effectively in response to seasonal fluctuations, we may be unable to offset the results from any such period with results from other periods, which could impair our ability to service our debt. These seasonal fluctuations also require us to allocate our resources

11



accurately in order to manage our manufacturing capacity, which often operates at full or near full capacity during peak seasonal demand periods. If we fail to monitor production and distribution accurately during these peak seasonal periods and are unable to satisfy our customers' delivery requirements, we could jeopardize our relationships with our customers.

        A substantial decrease or interruption in business from our significant customers could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        Our sampling system business is dependent on a limited number of customers. Our top five customers in our sampling system business represented approximately 9% of our net sales for 2006 in this business. We do not generally have long-term contracts for committed volume with any of these customers. We may be required by some customers to qualify our sampling system manufacturing operations under specified supplier standards. If we are unable to qualify under a supplier's standards, the customer may not continue to purchase sampling systems from us. An adverse change in our relationship with any of our significant sampling system customers could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of our sampling system business.

        Many of our customer arrangements are by purchase order or are terminable at will at the option of either party. A substantial decrease or interruption in business from our significant customers could result in write-offs or in the loss of future business and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        Jostens relies on relationships with schools, school administrators and students for the sale of its products. Jostens' failure to deliver high quality products in a timely manner or failure to respond to changing consumer preferences could jeopardize its customer relationships. Significant customer losses at our Jostens business could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        Our textbook business, currently presented as discontinued operations, is also particularly dependent on a limited number of customers. Customers in our educational textbook business include, among others, many autonomous divisions of the four major educational textbook publishers. Each of these divisions maintains its own manufacturing relationships and generally makes textbook manufacturing decisions independently of other divisions. We do not have long-term contracts for committed volume with any of these publishers, who together accounted for a material portion of our textbook net sales. Accordingly, our ability to retain or increase our business with these customers depends upon our relationships with each customer's divisional managers and senior executives. Any cancellation, deferral or significant reduction in product sold to these principal customers or a significant number of smaller customers could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        We are subject to fluctuations in the cost and availability of raw materials and the possible loss of suppliers.

        We are dependent upon the availability of raw materials to produce our products. The principal raw materials that Jostens purchases are gold and other precious metals, paper and precious, semiprecious and synthetic stones. The price of gold increased dramatically during 2006 and we anticipate continued volatility in the price of gold for the foreseeable future. From time to time, we may enter into forward contracts to purchase gold, platinum and silver based upon the estimated ounces needed to satisfy projected customer demand. Higher gold prices have impacted, and could further impact, our operating expenses as well as the level of spending by our customers. Our Marketing and Publishing Services business primarily use paper, ink and adhesives. Similarly, our sampling system business utilizes specific grades of paper and foil in producing its sampling products.

12



The price and availability of these raw materials is affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include:

    the level of consumer demand for these materials;

    the supply of these materials;

    foreign government regulation and taxes;

    market uncertainty;

    environmental conditions in the case of paper; and

    political and worldwide economic conditions.

        Any material increase in the price of these raw materials could adversely impact our cost of sales. When these fluctuations result in significantly higher raw material costs, our operating results are adversely affected to the extent we are unable to pass on these increased costs to our customers. Therefore, significant fluctuations in prices for gold, paper products or precious, semiprecious and synthetic stone and other materials could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        We rely on a limited number of suppliers for certain of our raw materials. For example, Jostens purchases substantially all of its precious, semiprecious and synthetic stones from a single supplier located in Germany with manufacturing sites in Germany and Sri Lanka. We believe this supplier provides stones to almost all of the class ring manufacturers in the United States. If access to this supplier were lost or curtailed to any significant extent, particularly during periods of peak demand for rings, Jostens' business would suffer. We may not be able to secure alternative supply arrangements in a timely and cost-efficient fashion. Similarly, all of our ScentStrip® sampling systems, which accounted for a substantial portion of our net sales from our sampling system business for fiscal 2006, utilize specific grades of paper for which we rely primarily on two domestic suppliers, with whom we do not have a written supply agreement in place. A loss of this supply of paper and a resulting possible loss of our competitive advantage could have a material adverse effect on our sampling system business, financial condition and results of operations to the extent that we are unable to obtain the specific paper or in sufficient quantity from other suppliers or elsewhere. Moreover, certain of our primary label sampling systems, including ScentSeal®, LiquaTouch®, BeautiSeal® and BeautiTouch® products, utilize certain foil laminates that are presently sourced primarily from one supplier, with whom we do not have a written supply agreement in place. A loss of supply of these foil laminates could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and competitive advantage.

        Our educational textbook business, currently presented as discontinued operations, generally does not have long-term contracts with any of its raw material suppliers. Therefore, these suppliers may not continue to provide raw materials at attractive prices, or at all, or we may not be able to obtain raw materials in the future from these or other providers on favorable terms and on the scale and within the time frames required.

        Certain of our businesses, primarily our educational textbook business, are dependent on fuel and natural gas in their operations. Prices of fuel and natural gas have shown volatility over time. Unanticipated higher prices could impact our operating expenses.

        Any failure to obtain raw materials for our business on a timely basis at an affordable cost, or any significant delays or interruptions of supply, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and competitive advantage.

13



        Changes in Jostens' relationships with its independent sales representatives may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        The success of our Jostens business is highly dependent upon the efforts and abilities of Jostens' network of independent sales representatives. Many of Jostens' relationships with customers and schools are cultivated and maintained by its independent sales representatives. Jostens' independent sales representatives typically operate under one- to three-year contracts for the sale of Jostens products and services. These contracts are generally terminable upon 90 days notice from the end of the current contract year. Jostens' sales representatives can terminate or fail to renew their contracts with Jostens due to factors outside of our control. If Jostens were to experience a significant loss of its independent sales representatives, it could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        Our businesses depend on numerous complex information systems, and any failure to successfully maintain these systems or implement new systems could materially harm our operations.

        Our businesses depend upon numerous information systems for operational and financial information and our billing operations. We are also increasingly dependent on our information technology systems for our e-commerce efforts. We may not be able to enhance existing information systems or implement new information systems that can integrate successfully our business efforts. Furthermore, we may experience unanticipated delays, complications and expenses in acquiring licenses for certain systems or implementing, integrating and operating the systems. In addition, our information systems may require modifications, improvements or replacements that may require substantial expenditures and may require interruptions in operations during periods of implementation. Implementation of these systems is further subject to our ability to license certain proprietary software in certain cases and the availability of information technology and skilled personnel to assist us in creating and implementing the systems. The failure to successfully implement and maintain operational, financial and billing information systems at our businesses could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        We may be required to make significant capital expenditures for our businesses in order to remain technologically and economically competitive.

        Our capital expenditure requirements have primarily related to our Jostens business and our educational textbook business, currently presented as discontinued operations. Additionally, we are required to invest capital in order to expand and update our capabilities in certain of our other segments, including our Marketing and Publishing Services segment. We expect our capital expenditure requirements in the Jostens business to continue to relate primarily to capital improvements, including information technology and e-commerce initiatives throughout the Jostens business. Our capital expenditure requirements in the Marketing and Publishing Services segment primarily relate to capacity increases and technological improvements to remain competitive. Changing competitive conditions or the emergence of any significant technological advances utilized by competitors could require us to invest significant capital in additional production technology or capacity in order to remain competitive. If we are unable to fund any such investment or otherwise fail to invest in new technologies, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

        Our businesses are subject to changes arising from developments in technology that could render our products obsolete or reduce product consumption.

        New emerging technologies, including those involving the Internet, could result in new distribution channels and new products and services being provided that could compete with our products and services. As a result of these factors, our growth and future financial performance may depend on our ability to develop and market new products and services and create new distribution channels, while enhancing existing products, services and distribution channels, in order to incorporate the latest

14



technological advances and accommodate changing customer preferences and demands, including the use of the Internet. If we fail to anticipate or respond adequately to changes in technology and user preferences and demands or are unable to finance the capital expenditures necessary to respond to such changes, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

        Our results of operations are dependent on certain principal production facilities.

        We are dependent on certain key production facilities. Certain sampling system, direct mail and graduation announcement products are generally each produced in a dedicated facility. Any disruption of production capabilities at any of our key dedicated facilities could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        Our educational textbook business, currently presented as discontinued operations, is dependent on the Jefferson City, Missouri production facility for the production of four-color case-bound textbooks. Any disruption of production capabilities at this facility for a significant term could lead to the loss of customers during any period during which production is interrupted and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        Actions taken by the U.S. Postal Service could have a material adverse effect on our sampling system business.

        Sampling products are approved by the U.S. Postal Service, or USPS, for inclusion in subscription magazines mailed at periodical postage rates. USPS approved sampling systems have a significant cost advantage over other competing sampling products, such as miniatures, vials, packets, sachets and blisterpacks, because these competing products cause an increase from periodical postage rates to the higher third-class rates for a magazine's entire circulation. Subscription magazine sampling inserts delivered to consumers through the USPS are currently an important part of our sampling systems business. If the USPS approves other competing types of sampling products for use in subscription magazines without requiring a postal surcharge, or reclassifies our sampling products such that they would incur a postal surcharge, it could have a material adverse effect on our sampling system business, financial condition and results of operations.

        A deterioration in labor relations or labor availability could have an adverse impact on our operations.

        As of December 30, 2006, we had approximately 5,096 full-time employees (excluding the 1,469 employees employed at our discontinued operations). As of December 31, 2006, approximately 702 of Jostens' employees were represented under two collective bargaining agreements that expire in June and August of 2007, and approximately 379 employees from our Marketing and Publishing Services business were represented under three collective bargaining agreements. These collective bargaining agreements expire at various times between March 2008 and March 2012. We also have 263 employees in our discontinued operations covered under three collective bargaining agreements that expire between September and November 2009.

        We are negotiating a first collective bargaining agreement covering approximately 140 employees at our Pennsauken, New Jersey location, following an election that occurred in February 2007.

        We may not be able to negotiate labor agreements on satisfactory terms. If any of the employees covered by the collective bargaining agreements were to engage in a strike, work stoppage or other slowdown, we could experience a disruption of our operations and/or higher ongoing labor costs, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if our other employees were to become unionized, we could experience a further disruption of our operations and/or higher ongoing labor costs, which could adversely affect our businesses, financial condition and results of operations. Given the seasonality of our business, we utilize a high percentage of seasonal and temporary employees to maximize efficiency and manage our costs. If these seasonal or temporary

15



employees were to become unavailable to us on acceptable terms, we may not be able to find replacements in a timely or cost effective manner.

        We are subject to environmental obligations and liabilities that could impose substantial costs upon us and may adversely affect our financial results and our ability to service our debt.

        Our operations are subject to a wide variety of federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations governing emissions to air, discharges to waters, the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of hazardous substances and other materials, and employee health and safety matters. Compliance with such laws and regulations have become more stringent and, accordingly, more costly over time.

        Also, as an owner and operator of real property or a generator of hazardous substances, we may be subject to environmental cleanup liability, regardless of fault, pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act or analogous state laws, as well as to claims for harm to health or property or for natural resource damages arising out of contamination or exposure to hazardous substances. Some of our current or past operations have involved metalworking and plating, printing and other activities that have resulted or could result in environmental conditions giving rise to liabilities.

        We are subject to risks that our intellectual property may not be adequately protected, and we may be adversely affected by the intellectual property rights of others.

        We use a combination of patents and trademarks, licensing agreements and unpatented proprietary know-how and trade secrets to establish and protect our intellectual property rights, particularly those of our sampling system and direct mail businesses, which derive a substantial portion of revenue from processes or products with some proprietary protections. We generally enter into confidentiality agreements with customers, vendors, employees, consultants and potential acquisition candidates to protect our know-how, trade secrets and other proprietary information. However, these measures and our patents and trademarks may not afford complete protection of our intellectual property, and it is possible that third parties may copy or otherwise obtain and use our proprietary information and technology without authorization or otherwise infringe, impair, misappropriate, dilute or violate our intellectual property rights. In addition, a portion of our manufacturing processes involved in the production of sampling systems and direct mail products are not covered by any patent or patent application. Furthermore, the patents that we use in our sampling system and direct marketing businesses will expire over time. There is no assurance that ongoing research and development efforts will result in new proprietary processes or products. Our competitors may independently develop equivalent or superior know-how, trade secrets processes or production methods to those employed by us.

        We are involved in litigation from time to time in the course of our businesses to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights. Third parties from time to time may initiate litigation against us challenging our intellectual property rights or asserting that our businesses infringe or otherwise violate their intellectual property rights. Our intellectual property rights may not have the value that we believe them to have, and our products or processes may be found to infringe, impair, misappropriate, dilute or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of others. Further, we may not prevail in any such litigation, and the results or costs of any such litigation may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The expense involved in protecting our intellectual property in our Marketing and Publishing Services segment, for example, has been and could continue to be significant. Any litigation concerning intellectual property could be protracted and costly, is inherently unpredictable and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations regardless of its outcome.

        Our results of operations in our educational textbook business are subject to variations due to the textbook adoption cycle and government funding for education spending.

        Our educational textbook business, currently presented as discontinued operations, experiences fluctuations in its results of operations due to the textbook adoption cycle and government funding for education spending. The cyclicality of the elementary and high school market is primarily attributable to the textbook adoption cycle. Our results of operations are also affected by reductions in local, state and/or federal school funding for textbook purchasing. In school districts in states that primarily rely on local tax proceeds, significant reductions in those proceeds, including as a result of economic conditions, can severely restrict district purchases of instructional materials. In districts and states that primarily rely on state funding for instructional materials, a reduction in state allocations, changes in announced school funding or additional restrictions on the use of those funds may affect our results of operations in our educational textbook business. Lower than expected sales by us due to the cyclicality of the textbook adoption cycle and pricing pressures that may result during any downturn in the textbook adoption cycle or as a reduction in government funding for education spending could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and, therefore, on our ability to service our obligations with respect to our indebtedness.

        Our controlling stockholders, affiliates of KKR and DLJMBP III, may have interests that conflict with other investors.

        As a result of the Transactions, we are controlled by affiliates of KKR and DLJMBP III. These investors collectively control our affairs and policies. Circumstances may occur in which the interests of these stockholders could be in conflict with the interests of our other investors and debtholders. In addition, these stockholders may have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures or other transactions that, in their judgment, could enhance their equity investment, even though such transactions might involve risks to our other investors and debtholders if the transactions resulted in our becoming more leveraged or significantly changed the nature of our business operations or strategy. In addition, if we encounter financial difficulties, or we are unable to pay our debts as they mature, the interests of our stockholders may conflict with those of our debtholders. In that situation, for example, our debtholders might want us to raise additional equity from the Sponsors or other investors to reduce our leverage and pay our debts, while the Sponsors might not want to increase their investment in us or have their ownership diluted and instead choose to take other actions, such as selling our assets. Additionally, the Sponsors and certain of their affiliates are in the business of making investments in companies and currently hold, and may from time to time in the future acquire, interests in businesses that directly or indirectly compete with certain portions of our business or are suppliers or customers of ours. For instance, certain of the Sponsors currently have investments in Merrill Corp. and Primedia Inc. Further, if they pursue such acquisitions or make further investments in our industry, those acquisition and investment opportunities may not be available to us. So long as the Sponsors continue to indirectly own a significant amount of our equity, even if such amount is less than 50%, they will continue to be able to influence or effectively control our decisions.

        We are dependent upon certain members of our senior management.

        We are substantially dependent on the personal efforts, relationships and abilities of certain members of our senior management, particularly Marc L. Reisch, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. The loss of Mr. Reisch's services or the services of other members of senior management could have a material adverse effect on our company.

Risks Relating to Our Indebtedness and the Notes

        Our high level of indebtedness could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to operate our business, limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industry and prevent us from meeting our obligations under the notes.

        We are highly leveraged. As of December 30, 2006, total indebtedness for Holdings and its subsidiaries was $1,787.4 million, including $16.7 million outstanding in the form of letters of credit. As of December 30, 2006, Visant had availability of $233.3 million (net of standby letters of credit) under its revolving credit facility. Total outstanding indebtedness for Holdings and its subsidiaries represented approximately 102.7% of Holdings' total consolidated capitalization at December 30, 2006.

        Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences. For example, it could:

    make it more difficult for us to make payments on the notes;

    make it more difficult for us and our subsidiaries to satisfy our obligations with respect to our indebtedness and any failure to comply with the obligations of any of our debt instruments, including financial and other restrictive covenants, could result in an event of default under agreements governing our indebtedness;

    require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;

    limit our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our businesses and in the industries in which we operate;

    make us more vulnerable to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation;

    limit our ability to borrow additional amounts for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our business strategy and other purposes; and

    place us at a disadvantage to our competitors who have less debt.

        Any of the above listed factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, our interest expense could increase if interest rates increase, because the entire amount of our debt under the Visant senior secured credit facilities bears interest at floating rates, initially, at our option, at either adjusted LIBOR plus 2.50% per annum for the U.S. dollar denominated loans under the revolving credit facility and LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum for the Term Loan C facility or the alternate base rate plus 1.50% for U.S. dollar denominated loans under the revolving credit facility and base rate plus 1.25% for the Term Loan C facility (or, in the case of Canadian dollar denominated loans under the revolving credit facility, the bankers' acceptance discount rate plus 2.50% or the Canadian prime rate plus 1.50% per annum). If we do not have sufficient earnings to service our debt, we may be required to refinance all or part of our existing debt, sell assets, borrow more money or sell securities, none of which we can guarantee we will be able to do.

        We will be able to incur significant additional indebtedness in the future. Although the indentures governing the Holdings senior notes, the Holdings senior discount notes and the Visant senior subordinated notes and the credit agreement governing the Visant senior secured credit facilities contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, those restrictions are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions and the indebtedness incurred in compliance with those restrictions could be substantial. The Visant senior secured credit facilities, for example, allow us to incur (1) an unlimited amount of "purchase money" indebtedness to finance capital expenditures permitted to be made under the senior secured credit facilities and to finance the acquisition,

18



construction or improvement of fixed or capital assets, (2) an unlimited amount of indebtedness to finance acquisitions permitted under the senior secured credit facilities and (3) up to $100 million of additional indebtedness. As of December 30, 2006, the Visant senior secured credit facilities permitted additional borrowings of up to $233.3 million (net of standby letters of credit of approximately $16.7 million) under the revolving credit facility.

        The Visant senior secured credit facilities also allow us to incur additional term loans under the Term Loan C facility or under a new term loan facility, in each case in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300 million, subject to (1) the absence of any default under the senior secured credit facilities before and after giving effect to such loans, (2) the accuracy of all representations and warranties in the credit agreement and security documents for the senior secured credit facilities, (3) Visant's compliance with financial covenants under the senior secured credit facilities and (4) Visant's ability to obtain commitments from one or more lenders to make such loans. Any additional term loans will have the same security and guarantees as the Term Loan C facility. All of those borrowings may rank senior to the Visant senior subordinated notes and subsidiary guarantees thereof. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, the related risk that we now face, including those described above, could intensify.

        To service our indebtedness, we will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control, and any failure to meet our debt service obligations could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        For the year ended December 30, 2006, Visant voluntarily prepaid $100.0 million of scheduled payments under the term loans in its senior secured credit facilities, including all originally scheduled principal payments due under the Term Loan C facility through most of 2011. Amounts borrowed under the term loans that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Our annual payment obligations for 2006 with respect to our existing indebtedness were comprised of approximately $115.1 million of interest payments. Our ability to pay interest on and principal on our debt obligations will primarily depend upon our future operating performance. As a result, prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, will affect our ability to make these payments.

        If we do not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to satisfy our debt service obligations, including payments on the Visant senior subordinated notes and the Holdings senior notes and senior discount notes, we may have to undertake alternative financing plans, such as refinancing our indebtedness, selling assets, reducing or delaying capital investments or seeking to raise additional capital. Our ability to refinance our debt will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. Any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. In addition, the terms of existing or future debt instruments, including the Visant senior secured credit facilities, the indentures governing the Holdings senior notes and senior discount notes and the indenture governing the Visant senior subordinated notes, may restrict us from adopting some of these alternatives. Our inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt service obligations, or to refinance our obligations on commercially reasonable terms, would have an adverse effect, which could be material, on our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as on our ability to satisfy our obligations in respect of our indebtedness.

        Repayment of our debt, including the Visant term loans, Visant senior subordinated notes and the Holdings senior notes and senior discount notes, is dependent on cash flow generated by our subsidiaries.

        Both Visant and Holdings are holding companies, and all of our assets are owned by our subsidiaries. Repayment of our indebtedness is dependent on the generation of cash flow by our subsidiaries and their ability to make such cash available to us, by dividend, debt repayment or otherwise. Unless they are guarantors of the Visant senior subordinated notes, our subsidiaries do not have any obligation to pay amounts due on the notes or to make funds available for that purpose. The

19



Holdings senior notes and senior discount notes are not guaranteed by any of Holdings' subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries may not be able to, or be permitted to, make distributions to enable us to make payments in respect of our indebtedness, including the Visant senior subordinated notes and the Holdings senior notes and senior discount notes. Each of our subsidiaries is a distinct legal entity, and legal and contractual restrictions may limit our ability to obtain cash from our subsidiaries. While the indentures governing the Visant senior subordinated notes and the Holdings senior notes and senior discount notes limit the ability of our subsidiaries to incur consensual restrictions on their ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany payments to us, these limitations are subject to qualifications and exceptions. If we do not receive distributions from our subsidiaries, we may be unable to make required principal and interest payments on our indebtedness, including the Visant term loans, the Visant senior subordinated notes and the Holdings senior notes and senior discount notes.

        Restrictive covenants in Holdings' and our debt instruments may restrict our current and future operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes in our business or to take certain actions.

        The Visant senior secured credit facilities and the indentures governing the Holdings senior notes and senior discount notes and the Visant senior subordinated notes contain, and any future indebtedness of Holdings or of ours would likely contain, a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on Holdings and us, including restrictions on Holdings and our ability to engage in acts that may be in our best long-term interest.

        The Visant senior secured credit facilities include financial covenants, including requirements that Visant:

    maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio; and

    not exceed a maximum total leverage ratio.

        The financial covenants in the Visant senior secured credit facilities will become more restrictive over time. In addition, the Visant senior secured credit facilities limit Visant's ability to make capital expenditures and require that Visant use a portion of excess cash flow and proceeds of certain asset sales that are not reinvested in its business to repay indebtedness under them.

        The Visant senior secured credit facilities also include covenants restricting, among other things, Visant Secondary Holdings Corp.'s, Visant's and their subsidiaries' ability to:

    create liens;

    incur indebtedness (including guarantees, debt incurred by direct or indirect subsidiaries, and obligations in respect of foreign currency exchange and other hedging arrangements) or issue preferred stock;

    pay dividends, or make redemptions and repurchases, with respect to capital stock;

    prepay, or make redemptions and repurchases, with respect to subordinated indebtedness;

    make loans and investments;

    engage in mergers, acquisitions, assets sales, sale/leaseback transactions and transactions with affiliates;

    change the business conducted by Visant Secondary Holdings Corp., Visant or their subsidiaries; and

    amend the terms of subordinated debt.

20


        The indentures relating to the Holdings senior notes, the Holdings senior discount notes and the Visant senior subordinated notes also contain numerous covenants including, among other things, restrictions on Holdings and our ability to:

    create liens;

    incur or guarantee indebtedness or issue preferred stock;

    pay dividends, or make redemptions and repurchases, with respect to capital stock;

    prepay, or make redemptions and repurchases, with respect to subordinated indebtedness;

    make loans and investments;

    engage in mergers, acquisitions, asset sales and transactions with affiliates; and

    create limitations on the ability of subsidiaries to make dividends or distributions.

        The operating and financial restrictions and covenants in our existing debt agreements and any future financing agreements may adversely affect our ability to finance future operations or capital needs or to engage in other business activities. A breach of any of the restrictive covenants in the Visant senior secured credit facilities would result in a default under the Visant senior secured credit facilities. If any such default occurs, the lenders under the Visant senior secured credit facilities may elect to declare all outstanding borrowings, together with accrued interest and other fees, to be immediately due and payable, enforce their security interest or require Visant to apply all of its available cash to repay these borrowings, any of which would result in an event of default under the Visant senior subordinated notes and the Holdings senior notes and senior discount notes. The lenders under the senior secured credit facilities will also have the right in these circumstances to terminate any commitments they have to provide further borrowings.

        Only certain of our subsidiaries guarantee the notes, and the assets of our non-guarantor subsidiaries may not be available to make payments on the notes.

        Certain of our subsidiaries, including our existing and future foreign subsidiaries, are not required to guarantee the notes. As of December 30, 2006, our non-guarantor subsidiaries had approximately 2.7% of our assets. Our non-guarantor subsidiaries generated approximately 3.7% of our revenues for the year ended December 30, 2006. However, the indenture permits these subsidiaries to incur significant amounts of indebtedness in the future. In the event that any non-guarantor subsidiary (including any foreign subsidiary) becomes insolvent, liquidates, reorganizes, dissolves or otherwise winds up, holders of its indebtedness and its trade creditors generally will be entitled to payment on their claims from the assets of that subsidiary before any of those assets are made available to us. Consequently, your claims with respect to the notes will be effectively subordinated to all of the liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, including trade payables, and the claims (if any) of third party holders of preferred equity interests in our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

        Your right to receive payments on the notes and the guarantees is junior to the rights of the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities and to all of our and the guarantors' other senior indebtedness, including any of our or the guarantors' future senior debt.

        The notes and the guarantees rank in right of payment behind all of our and the guarantors' existing senior indebtedness, including borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities, and rank in right of payment behind all of our and the guarantors' future borrowings, except for any future indebtedness that expressly provides that it ranks equal or junior in right of payment to the notes and the related guarantees. See "Description of the Notes". As of December 30, 2006, we had approximately $716.5 million of senior secured indebtedness, and the revolving credit portion (net of standby letters of credit and short-term borrowings of approximately $16.7 million) of our senior secured credit facilities provided for additional borrowings of up to $233.3 million, all of which would

21


be senior indebtedness when drawn. Our senior secured credit facilities allow us, subject to certain conditions, to incur additional term loans under the Term Loan C facility, or under a new term facility, in either case in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300 million, which additional term loans will have the same security and guarantees as the Term Loan C facility. As of December 30, 2006, the subsidiary guarantors had approximately $716.5 million of senior indebtedness which would have represented guarantees of borrowings under our new senior secured credit facilities. We are also permitted to incur substantial additional indebtedness, including senior indebtedness, in the future.

        We and the guarantors may not pay principal, premium, if any, interest or other amounts on account of the notes or the guarantees in the event of a payment default or other defaults in respect of certain of our senior indebtedness, including debt under the senior secured credit facilities, unless the senior indebtedness has been paid in full or the default has been cured or waived. In addition, in the event of certain other defaults with respect to the senior indebtedness, we or the guarantors may not be permitted to pay any amount on account of the notes or the guarantees for a designated period of time. See "Description of the Notes—Payment of Notes".

        Because of the subordination provisions in the notes and the guarantees, in the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or similar proceeding relating to us or a guarantor, our or the guarantor's assets will not be available to pay obligations under the notes or the applicable guarantee until we or the guarantor has made all payments in cash on its senior indebtedness. Sufficient assets may not remain after all these payments have been made to make any payments on the notes or the applicable guarantee, including payments of principal or interest when due. In addition, in the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization or similar proceeding relating to us or the guarantors, holders of the notes will participate with trade creditors and all other holders of our and the guarantors' senior subordinated indebtedness, as the case may be, in the assets remaining after we and the guarantors have paid all of the senior indebtedness. However, because the indenture requires that amounts otherwise payable to holders of the notes in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding be paid to holders of senior indebtedness instead, holders of the notes may receive less, ratably, than holders of trade payables or other unsecured, unsubordinated creditors in any such proceeding. In any of these cases, we and the guarantors may not have sufficient funds to pay all of our creditors, and holders of the notes may receive less, ratably, than the holders of senior indebtedness. See "Description of the Notes—Ranking".

        The notes are not secured by our assets, and the lenders under our senior credit facilities are entitled to remedies available to a secured lender, which gives them priority over you to collect amounts due to them.

        In addition to being contractually subordinated to all existing and future senior indebtedness, the notes and the guarantees are not secured by any of our assets. In contrast, our obligations under the senior secured credit facilities are secured by substantially all of our assets and substantially all of the assets of our material current domestic and future subsidiaries, including all of our capital stock and the capital stock of each of our existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries (except that with respect to foreign subsidiaries such lien and pledge will be limited to 65% of the capital stock of "first-tier" foreign subsidiaries), and substantially all of our material existing domestic subsidiaries and future domestic subsidiaries' tangible and intangible assets. In addition, we may incur other senior indebtedness, which may be substantial in amount, and which may, in some circumstances, be secured. As of December 30, 2006, we had $716.5 million of senior secured indebtedness. Our senior secured credit facilities allow us to incur additional term loans under the Term Loan C facility or under a new term loan facility, in each case in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300 million, subject to (1) the absence of any default under the senior secured credit facilities before and after giving effect to such loans, (2) the accuracy of all representations and warranties in the credit agreement and security documents for the senior secured credit facilities, (3) our compliance with financial covenants under the senior secured credit facilities and (4) our ability to obtain commitments from one or more lenders to

22



make such loans. Any additional term loans will have the same security and guarantees as the Term Loan C facility.

        Because the notes and the guarantees are unsecured obligations, your right of repayment may be compromised if any of the following situations occur:

    we enter into bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, or other winding-up proceedings;

    there is a default in payment under the senior secured credit facilities or other secured indebtedness; or

    there is an acceleration of any indebtedness under the senior secured credit facilities or other secured indebtedness.

        If any of these events occurs, the secured lenders could sell those of our assets in which they have been granted a security interest, to your exclusion, even if an event of default exists under the indenture at such time. As a result, upon the occurrence of any of these events, there may not be sufficient funds to pay amounts due on the notes and the guarantees.

        Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void the guarantees, subordinate claims in respect of the guarantees and require note holders to return payments received from the guarantors.

        Our existing and certain of our future subsidiaries guarantee our obligations under the notes. The issuance of the guarantees by the guarantors may be subject to review under state and federal laws if a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization case or a lawsuit, including in circumstances in which bankruptcy is not involved, were commenced at some future date by, or on behalf of, our unpaid creditors or the unpaid creditors of a guarantor. Under the federal bankruptcy laws and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a court may void or otherwise decline to enforce a guarantor's guaranty, or subordinate such guaranty to the applicable guarantor's existing and future indebtedness. While the relevant laws may vary from state to state, a court might void or otherwise decline to enforce a guarantee if it found that when the applicable guarantor entered into its guaranty or, in some states, when payments became due under such guaranty, the applicable guarantor received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration and either:

    was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;

    was engaged in a business or transaction for which such guarantor's remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital;

    intended to incur, or believed that such guarantor would incur, debts beyond such guarantor's ability to pay such debts as they mature; or

    was a defendant in an action for money damages, or had a judgment for money damages docketed against it if, in either case, after final judgment, the judgment is unsatisfied.

The court might also void a guaranty, without regard to the above factors, if the court found that the applicable guarantor entered into its guaranty with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors. In addition, any payment by a guarantor pursuant to its guarantees could be voided and required to be returned to such guarantor or to a fund for the benefit of such guarantor's creditors.

        A court would likely find that a guarantor did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for such guaranty if such guarantor did not substantially benefit directly or indirectly from the issuance of the notes. If a court were to void a guaranty, you would no longer have a claim against the applicable guarantor. Sufficient funds to repay the notes may not be available from other sources, including the remaining guarantors, if any. In addition, the court might direct you to repay any amounts that you already received from any guarantor.

23



        The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

    the sum of such guarantor's debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of such guarantor's assets; or

    the present fair saleable value of such guarantor's assets were less than the amount that would be required to pay such guarantor's probable liability on such guarantor's existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or

    such guarantor could not pay such guarantor's debts as they become due.

        To the extent a court voids any of the guarantees as fraudulent transfers or holds any of the guarantees unenforceable for any other reason, holders of notes would cease to have any direct claim against the applicable guarantor. If a court were to take this action, the applicable guarantor's assets would be applied first to satisfy the applicable guarantor's liabilities, if any, before any portion of its assets could be applied to the payment of the notes.

        Each guaranty contains a provision intended to limit the guarantor's liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its guaranty to be a fraudulent transfer. This provision may not be effective to protect the guarantees from being voided under fraudulent transfer law, or may reduce the guarantor's obligation to an amount that effectively makes the guaranty worthless.

        We may not be able to repurchase notes upon a change of control.

        Certain events constitute a change of control under the indenture governing the notes, including the sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of our assets to any person other than a permitted holder. See "Description of Notes—Certain Definitions—Change of Control" for additional descriptions of these events. The indentures governing the senior discount notes and senior notes of our parent contain similar provisions. Upon the occurrence of such events, you will have the right to require us to repurchase your notes, and the holders of senior discount notes and senior notes will have the right to require our parent to repurchase their notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount or accreted value, as applicable, of the applicable notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the extent applicable. The senior secured credit facilities provide that certain change of control events constitute a default, including (1) a Change of Control, as defined in the indenture relating to the notes, (2) the board of directors ceasing to be comprised of at least a majority of directors who (a) were directors as of the closing date of the senior secured credit facilities, (b) have been directors for at least 12 months, (c) were nominated to the board of directors by DLJMBP III, KKR, their respective affiliates or a person nominated by any thereof or (d) were nominated by a majority of the continuing directors then in office and (3) Visant Secondary Holdings Corp. ceasing to own 100% of our outstanding capital.

        Any future credit agreement or other agreements relating to senior indebtedness to which we become a party may contain similar provisions. If we experience a change of control that triggers a default under our senior secured credit facilities, we could seek a waiver of such default or seek to refinance our senior secured credit facilities. In the event we do not obtain such a waiver or refinance the senior secured credit facilities, such default could result in amounts outstanding under our new senior secured credit facilities being declared due and payable. In the event we experience a change of control that results in our having to repurchase your notes and/or our parent having to repurchase the senior discount notes and senior notes, we may not have sufficient financial resources to satisfy all of our obligations under our senior secured credit facilities and/or the notes, and our parent may not have sufficient financial resources to satisfy its obligations under the senior discount notes and senior notes. A failure to make the applicable change of control offer or to pay the applicable change of control

24



purchase price when due would result in a default under the relevant indenture. In addition, the change of control covenant in the indentures governing the notes and our parent's senior discount notes and senior notes do not cover all corporate reorganizations, mergers or similar transactions and may not provide you with protection in a highly leveraged transaction. See "Description of the Notes—Certain Covenants".

        Your ability to sell the notes may be limited by the absence of an active trading market, and if one develops, it may not be liquid.

        The notes were offered and sold in October 2004 to a small number of institutional investors and are eligible for trading in the PORTALsm market. However, we do not intend to apply for the notes to be listed on any securities exchange or to arrange for quotation on any automated dealer quotation system. There is currently no established market for the notes, and we cannot assure you as to the liquidity of markets that may develop for the notes, your ability to sell the notes or the price at which you would be able to sell the notes. If such markets were to exist, the notes could trade at prices that may be lower than their principal amount or purchase price depending on many factors, including prevailing interest rates and the markets for similar securities. You may not be able to sell your notes at a particular time or at favorable prices or at all.

        The liquidity of any market for the notes and the future trading prices of the notes will depend on many factors, including:

    our operating performance and financial condition;

    the interest of securities dealers in making a market in the notes; and

    the market for similar securities.

        Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in the prices of securities similar to the notes. The market for the notes, if any, may be subject to similar disruptions. Any such disruptions may adversely affect the value of your notes.

        We understand that Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC presently intends to make a market in the notes. However, it is not obligated to do so, and any market making activity with respect to the notes may be discontinued at any time without notice. In addition, any market-making activity will be subject to the limits imposed by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will exist for the notes or that any trading market that does develop will be liquid.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

        The following relates to the financial results of Visant Corporation. Other than Visant Holding's 101/4% senior discount notes, which had an accreted value of $204.2 million and $184.7 million as of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, including interest thereon, there are no significant differences between the results of operations and financial condition of Visant and those of Visant Holding. At the end of the first quarter of 2006, Visant Holding privately placed $350.0 million of 83/4% senior notes due 2013, with settlement on April 4, 2006. On October 10, 2006, Visant Holding completed an offer to exchange the entire principal amount of these notes for an equal amount of notes with substantially identical terms that have been registered under the Securities Act. The selected financial data of Visant Corporation set forth below presents the consolidated financial data of Visant Corporation, Von Hoffmann and Arcade after July 29, 2003 as a result of the common ownership of these entities by affiliates of DLJMBP III on such date. As described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, certain operations of Von Hoffmann are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

        The selected historical financial data for the successor periods of fiscal years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005, January 1, 2005 and the five month period from July 30, 2003 to January 4, 2004 and for the predecessor periods, including the seven month period from December 29, 2002 to July 29, 2003 and the fiscal year in the period ended December 28, 2002, has been derived from our audited historical consolidated financial statements.

Certain selected financial data have been reclassified for all periods presented to reflect the results of discontinued operations consisting of certain Von Hoffmann businesses in December 2006, our Jostens Photography businesses in June 2006 and the exit of Jostens' Recognition business in December 2001.

(2)
For 2005 and 2004, transaction costs represented $1.2 million and $6.8 million, respectively, of expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions. For the successor period in 2003, transaction costs represented $0.2 million of expenses incurred in connection with the 2003 Jostens merger. For the predecessor period in 2003, transaction costs represented $31.0 million of expenses incurred in connection with the 2003 Jostens merger.

(3)
For 2006, the Company recorded $2.3 million relating to an impairment loss to reduce the value of Jostens former corporate office buildings, which were later sold, and net $0.1 million of special charges for severance and related benefit costs. For 2005, special charges consisted of restructuring charges of $5.1 million for employee severance related to closed facilities and $0.3 million related to a withdrawal liability under a union retirement plan that arose in connection with the consolidation of certain operations. For 2004, special charges consisted of $11.8 million of restructuring charges consisting primarily of severance costs for the termination of senior executives and other employees associated with reorganization activity as a result of the Transactions.

(4)
For 2004, loss on redemption of debt represented a loss of $31.5 million in connection with repayment of all existing indebtedness and remaining preferred stock of Jostens and Arcade in conjunction with the Transactions and a loss of $0.4 million in connection with the repurchase of $5.0 million principal amount of Jostens' 12.75% senior subordinated notes prior to the Transactions. For the successor period in 2003, loss on redemption of debt represented a loss of $0.4 million in connection with the repurchase of $8.5 million principal amount of Jostens' 12.75% senior subordinated notes. For the predecessor period in 2003, loss on redemption of debt represented a loss of $13.9 million consisting of the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs in connection with refinancing Jostens' senior secured credit facility. For 2002, loss on redemption of debt represented a loss of $1.8 million in connection with the repurchase of $7.5 million principal amount of Jostens' 12.75% senior subordinated notes.

(5)
For the purposes of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings represent income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense (including capitalized interest) on all indebtedness plus amortization of debt issuance costs (and for any period subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 150, accretion of preferred stock dividends), and the portion of rental expense that we believe is representative of the interest component of rental expense. For 2004 and the successor period in 2003, earnings did not cover fixed charges by $78.6 million and $70.1 million, respectively.

(6)
Liquidation preference of redeemable preferred stock as of the end of 2003 and 2002 was $222.6 million and $86.3 million, respectively.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties, including those set forth in this prospectus under "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors". You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included herein.

Presentation

        There are no significant differences between the results of operations and financial condition of Visant Corporation and those of Visant Holding Corp. other than Holdings' senior discount notes, which had an accreted value of $204.2 million and $184.7 million as of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, including interest, thereon, and the $350.0 million of Holdings' 83/4% senior notes due 2013 as discussed below.

Company Background

        On October 4, 2004, an affiliate of KKR and affiliates of DLJMBP III completed the Transactions, which created a marketing and publishing services enterprise servicing the school affinity, direct marketing, fragrance and cosmetics sampling and educational publishing market segments through the consolidation of Jostens, Von Hoffmann and Arcade.

        Prior to the Transactions, Von Hoffmann and Arcade were each controlled by affiliates of DLJMBP II, and DLJMBP III owned approximately 82.5% of our outstanding equity, with the remainder held by other co-investors and certain members of management. Upon consummation of the Transactions, an affiliate of KKR invested $256.1 million and was issued equity interests representing approximately 49.6% of our voting interest and 45.0% of our economic interest, and affiliates of DLJMBP III held equity interests representing approximately 41.0% of Holdings' voting interest and 45.0% of Holdings' economic interest, with the remainder held by other co-investors and certain members of management. Approximately $175.6 million of the proceeds were distributed to certain stockholders, and certain treasury stock held by Von Hoffmann was redeemed. After giving effect to the issuance of equity to additional members of management, as of April 23, 2007, affiliates of KKR and DLJMBP III held approximately 49.0% and 41.0%, respectively, of Holdings' voting interest, while each continued to hold approximately 44.6% of Holdings' economic interest. As of April 23, 2007, the other co-investors held approximately 8.4% of the voting interest and 9.1% of the economic interest of Holdings, and members of management held approximately 1.6% of the voting interest and approximately 1.7% of the economic interest of Holdings.

        These Transactions were accounted for as a combination of interests under common control.

Overview

        We are a leading marketing and publishing services enterprise servicing the school affinity, direct marketing, fragrance and cosmetics sampling and educational publishing market segments.

        We sell our products and services to end customers through several different sales channels including independent sales representatives and a dedicated sales force. Our sales and results of operations are impacted by general economic conditions, seasonality, cost of raw materials, school population trends, product quality and service and price.

        During the fourth quarter of 2005, we disaggregated our reportable segments, to reflect better our operations following the integration of the companies as a result of the Transactions and the manner in which the chief operating decision-maker regularly assesses the information for decision-making

30



purposes. During the second quarter of 2006, we entered into definitive agreements to sell our Jostens Photography businesses, which previously comprised a reportable segment. The transactions closed on June 30, 2006. Accordingly, this segment has been reported as discontinued operations.

        As of December 2006, our Von Hoffmann Holdings Inc., Von Hoffmann Corporation and Anthology, Inc. businesses were held as assets for sale. On January 3, 2007, the Company entered into the Von Hoffmann Stock Purchase Agreement with R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company providing for the sale of Von Hoffmann Holdings Inc., Von Hoffmann Corporation and Anthology, Inc., which previously comprised the Educational Textbook segment and a portion of the Marketing and Publishing Services segment. The regulatory review of the proposed transaction through a second request by the Federal Trade Commission has been completed, and we expect to close the transaction on or about May 16, 2007. The operations of the Von Hoffmann businesses are reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

        On March 16, 2007, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Neff Holding Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Neff Motivation, Inc. Neff is a leading single source provider of custom award programs and apparel, including chenille letters and letter jackets, to the scholastic market segment. As of the date of acquisition, Neff is operating as a direct subsidiary of Visant under the Neff brand name and its results will be reported together with the results of the Jostens scholastic operations as the renamed Scholastic segment.

        Our three reportable segments as of December 30, 2006 consisted of:

    Jostens Scholastic—provides services related to the marketing, sale and production of class rings, graduation products and other scholastic products;

    Jostens Yearbook—provides services related to the publication, marketing, sale and production of school yearbooks; and

    Marketing and Publishing Services—produces multi-sensory and interactive advertising sampling systems, primarily for the fragrance, cosmetics and personal care market segments, and provides innovative products and services to the direct marketing sector. The group also produces book covers and other components for educational publishers.

        For additional financial and other information about our operating segments, see Note 18, Business Segments, to the consolidated financial statements.

General

        We experience seasonal fluctuations in our net sales tied primarily to the North American school year. We recorded approximately 40% of our annual net sales from our continuing operations for fiscal 2006 during the second quarter of our fiscal year. Jostens generates a significant portion of its annual net sales in the second quarter. Deliveries of caps, gowns and diplomas for spring graduation ceremonies and spring deliveries of school yearbooks are the key drivers of Jostens' seasonality. The net sales of textbooks are impacted seasonally by state and local schoolbook purchasing schedules, which commence in the spring and peak in the summer months preceding the start of the school year. The net sales of sampling and other direct mail and commercial printed products have also historically reflected seasonal variations, and we expect these businesses to continue to generate a majority of their annual net sales during our third and fourth quarters for the foreseeable future. These seasonal variations are based on the timing of customers' advertising campaigns, which have traditionally been concentrated prior to the Christmas and spring holiday seasons. The seasonality of each of our businesses requires us to allocate our resources to manage our manufacturing capacity, which often operates at full or near full capacity during peak seasonal demands.

        Our net sales include sales to certain customers for whom we purchase paper. The price of paper, a primary material across most of our products and services, is volatile over time and may cause swings in net sales and cost of sales. We generally are able to pass on increases in the cost of paper to our customers across most product lines when we realize such increases.

        The price of gold has increased dramatically during the past year, and we anticipate continued volatility in the price of gold. These higher gold prices have impacted, and could further impact, our operating expenses as well as the level of spending by our customers in the Scholastic segment.

Other Transactions

        2003 Jostens Merger.    On July 29, 2003, DLJMBP III acquired Jostens through a merger in which Jostens became the surviving company and our wholly-owned subsidiary. Jostens paid $471.0 million to holders of its common stock, warrants and options representing a cash payment of $48.25 per share. Jostens accounted for the merger using the purchase method of accounting. The aggregate purchase price of $471.0 million, excluding certain capitalized transaction costs, was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their relative fair values as of the date of the merger. As a result of the merger, Jostens reflected a predecessor period from December 29, 2002 to July 29, 2003 (seven months) and a successor period from July 30, 2003 to January 2, 2004 (five months) in its consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2003.

Restructuring Activity

        For the year ended December 30, 2006, we recorded $2.3 million relating to an impairment loss to reduce the value of the former Jostens corporate buildings, which were later sold, and net $0.1 million of special charges for severance and related benefit costs. The severance costs and related benefits included $0.1 million for Jostens Yearbook and $0.1 million for Jostens Scholastic. Marketing and Publishing Services incurred $0.2 million of special charges for severance costs and related benefits offset by a reduction of $0.3 million of the restructuring accrual that related to withdrawal liability under a union retirement plan that arose in connection with the consolidation of certain operations. Additionally, headcount reductions related to these activities totaled five, 13 and four employees for Jostens Yearbook, Jostens Scholastic, and Marketing and Publishing Services, respectively.

        Restructuring accruals of $1.4 million as of December 30, 2006 and $3.2 million as of December 31, 2005 are included in other accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The accruals as of December 30, 2006 include amounts provided for severance related to reductions in corporate and administrative employees from Jostens and the Marketing and Publishing Services segment.

        On a cumulative basis through December 30, 2006, we incurred $17.5 million of employee severance costs related to initiatives that began in 2004 (the "2004 initiatives"), which affected 254 employees. To date, we have paid $16.1 million in cash related to these initiatives.

        Changes in the restructuring accruals during fiscal 2006 were as follows:

 
  2006 Initiatives
  2005 Initiatives
  2004 Initiatives
  Total
 
 
  (In thousands)

 
Balance at December 31, 2005   $   $ 1,550   $ 1,682   $ 3,232  
  Restructuring charges     981     (651 )   (14 )   316  
  Severance paid     (468 )   (788 )   (913 )   (2,169 )
   
 
 
 
 
Balance at December 30, 2006   $ 513   $ 111   $ 755   $ 1,379  
   
 
 
 
 

        We expect the majority of the remaining severance related to the 2004, 2005 and 2006 initiatives to be paid during 2007.

Other Factors Affecting Comparability

        We utilize a fifty-two, fifty-three week fiscal year ending on the Saturday nearest December 31st.

        In connection with the relocation of Jostens' diploma operations out of its Red Wing, Minnesota manufacturing facility to certain of its other facilities, Jostens Scholastic experienced significant manufacturing inefficiencies in 2005. As a result of its commitment to minimize the impact to its customers, Jostens incurred $14.7 million of costs in an effort to address these manufacturing inefficiencies. These costs included, in certain cases, providing at Jostens' cost, temporary diploma covers to meet spring graduation deliveries, which were later replaced with permanent diploma covers, significant expedited freight charges, and other efforts to address customer issues to minimize the long-term impact on customer relationships.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        In the ordinary course of business, management makes a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and require management's judgment about the effect of matters that are uncertain.

        On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition, continued value of goodwill and intangibles, recoverability of long-lived assets, pension and other postretirement benefits and income tax. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience, the use of independent third-party specialists and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable at the time the estimates and assumptions are made. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions under different circumstances or conditions.

Revenue Recognition

        The SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, Revenue Recognition, provides guidance on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States to selected revenue recognition issues. In accordance with SAB No. 104, we recognize revenue when the earnings process is complete, evidenced by an agreement between us and the customer, delivery and acceptance has occurred, collectibility is probable and pricing is fixed or determinable. Revenue is recognized when (1) products are shipped (if shipped FOB shipping point), (2) products are delivered (if shipped FOB destination) or (3) as services are performed as determined by contractual agreement, but in all cases only when risk of loss has transferred to the customer and we have no further performance obligations.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

        Under Statement of Financial Accounting Statements ("SFAS") No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, we are required to test goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators occur. The impairment test requires management to make judgments in connection with identifying reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets to reporting units, and determining the fair value of each reporting unit. Significant judgments are required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include projecting future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. The projections are based on management's best estimate given recent financial performance, market trends, strategic plans and other available information. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or impairment for each reporting unit. The impairment testing was completed as of the beginning of our fourth quarter

33



and we believe that there are no indications of impairment. However, unforeseen future events could adversely affect the reported value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, which at the end of both 2006 and 2005 totaled approximately $1.2 billion.

Income Taxes

        As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our actual current tax liability together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items such as capital assets for tax and accounting purposes. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in our consolidated balance sheets. We must then assess the likelihood that any deferred tax assets will be recovered from taxable income of the appropriate character within the carryback or carryforward period, and to the extent that recovery is not likely, a valuation allowance must be established. Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets.

        On a consolidated basis, we have established a tax valuation allowance of $13.4 million as of the end of 2006 related to foreign tax credit carryforwards, because we believe the tax benefits are not likely to be fully realized. During 2006 we determined that the $0.7 million valuation allowance for capital loss carryovers was no longer required, because we generated capital gains in connection with the sale of property used in continuing operations. As described in Note 15, Income Taxes, to our consolidated financial statements, we repatriated a total of $33.1 million of earnings from our foreign subsidiaries during 2006. In connection with those distributions, we realized approximately $2.1 million of tax benefit attributable to foreign tax credit carryforwards which decreased our valuation allowance. During 2004, as a result of the Transactions, the valuation allowance attributable to accrued interest was reduced by approximately $12.5 million because the related tax benefit was likely to be fully realized. The valuation allowance was also reduced by approximately $10.7 million because a capital loss carryforward expired at the end of 2004.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

        Jostens sponsors several defined benefit pension plans that cover nearly all of its employees. Jostens also provides certain medical and life insurance benefits for eligible retirees. Eligible employees from The Lehigh Press, Inc. also participate in a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan, which was merged with a Jostens plan effective December 31, 2004. Effective December 31, 2006, this plan closed participation for hourly employees hired after December 31, 2006 and froze the plan for salaried employees. Based on an announcement made prior to holding the Von Hoffmann businesses as discontinued operations, effective January 1, 2007, eligible plant hourly employees from Von Hoffmann's Jefferson City location employed as of December 31, 2006 were added to the Jostens defined benefit pension plan, Plan C. This closed group of employees began accruing benefits on January 1, 2007. These employees will no longer participate in the plan following the disposition of Von Hoffmann.

        We account for our plans under SFAS No. 87, Employer's Accounting for Pensions, which requires management to use three key assumptions when computing estimated annual pension expense. These assumptions are the discount rate applied to the projected benefit obligation, expected return on plan assets and the rate of compensation increases.

        Of the three key assumptions, only the discount rate is based on external market indicators, such as the yield on currently available high-quality, fixed income investments or annuity settlement rates. The discount rate used to value the pension obligation at any year-end is used for expense calculations the next year. For the rates of expected return on assets and compensation increases, management uses

34



estimates based on experience as well as future expectations. Due to the long-term nature of pension liabilities, management attempts to choose rates for these assumptions that will have long-term applicability.

        The following is a summary of the three key assumptions that were used in determining 2006 pension expense, along with the impact of a 1% change in each assumed rate. Brackets indicate annual pension expense would be reduced. Modification of these assumptions does not impact the funding requirements for the qualified pension plans.

(1)
A discount rate of 5.75% was used for all plans.

(2)
The average compensation rate was 6.30% and 3.00% for Jostens and The Lehigh Press, Inc., respectively. The weighted average compensation rate for the combined salary-related plans was 5.60%.

        With the acquisition of Neff Motivation, Inc. in March 2007, the Jostens Scholastic segment will become known as the Scholastic segment and reflect the results of operations of each of Jostens scholastic and Neff operations.

Year Ended December 30, 2006 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2005

        Net sales.    Consolidated net sales increased $75.9 million, or 6.8%, to $1,186.6 million from $1,110.7 million in 2005. Our Jostens Scholastic business reported full year 2006 net sales of $437.6 million, an increase of 3.0% over $425.0 million in 2005. This year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to stronger sales of rings and graduation products, as well as price increases. The Jostens Yearbook segment reported full year 2006 net sales of $358.7 million, an increase of 2.9% over $348.5 million in 2005, due to price increases as well as stronger sales volume.

        Our Marketing and Publishing Services segment reported 2006 net sales of $390.4 million, an increase of 15.7% over $337.4 million reported in 2005. This growth was primarily attributable to increased direct marketing and sampling volume, acquisitions made during 2006, as well as an increase in company-supplied paper of $5.9 million.

        Gross profit.    Gross profit increased $50.5 million, or 9.2%, to $599.0 million for 2006 from $548.5 million for 2005. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit margin increased to 50.5% for 2006 from 49.4% for 2005. The increased gross profit as a percent of sales was the result of several factors including the following:

    improvements in diploma and yearbook production, contributed most significantly;

    increased prices for products and services in both Jostens Scholastic and Jostens Yearbook; and

    increased operating synergies in all businesses.

37


        These increases in gross profit as a percentage of sales were offset partially by:

    increased gold prices in the Jostens Scholastic segment; and

    the impact of increased volume in the Marketing and Publishing Services segment, where gross profit margins are historically lower than in the Jostens businesses.

        Selling and administrative expenses.    Selling and administrative expenses increased $5.3 million, or 1.4%, to $394.7 million for 2006 from $389.4 million for 2005. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses decreased 1.8% to 33.3% for 2006 from 35.1% for 2005. The increase in expenses was attributed mainly to the following factors:

    higher commissions and bonuses in 2006 resulting from the increased sales volume and improved results compared to 2005; and

    acquisitions during the year that contributed additional selling and administrative costs in 2006.

        These increases were partially offset by:

    lower professional fees; and

    lower depreciation, mainly relating to the purchase accounting in connection with the 2003 Jostens merger.

        Gain on disposal of fixed assets.    Gain on disposal of fixed assets was approximately $1.2 million for 2006, primarily related to the sale of the former Jostens corporate office buildings in Bloomington, Minnesota. In 2005, gain on disposal of fixed assets was approximately $0.4 million.

        Special charges.    For the year ended December 30, 2006, the Company recorded $2.3 million relating to an impairment loss to reduce the value of the former Jostens corporate buildings, which were later sold, and net $0.1 million of special charges for severance and related benefit costs. The severance costs and related benefits included $0.1 million for Jostens Yearbook and $0.1 million for Jostens Scholastic. Marketing and Publishing Services incurred $0.2 million of special charges for severance costs and related benefits offset by reduction of $0.3 million of the restructuring accrual that related to withdrawal liability under a union retirement plan that was in connection with the consolidation of certain operations. Additionally, headcount reductions related to these activities totaled five, 13 and four employees for Jostens Yearbook, Jostens Scholastic, and Marketing and Publishing Services, respectively.

        During 2005, we incurred $5.4 million of special charges, including $5.1 million related to severance and benefit costs associated with a reduction in personnel of 83 employees and $0.3 million of costs related to a withdrawal liability under a union retirement plan that arose in connection with the consolidation of certain operations.

        Operating income.    As a result of the foregoing, consolidated operating income increased $50.1 million, or 32.8%, to $203.1 million for 2006 from $153.0 million for 2005. As a percentage of net sales, operating income increased to 17.1% for 2006 from 13.8% for 2005.

38



        Net interest expense.    Net interest expense is comprised of the following:

 
  2006
  2005
 
 
  (In thousands)

 
Holdings:              
  Interest expense   $ 22,739   $ 2  
  Amortization of debt discount, premium and deferred financing costs     20,874     18,043  
  Interest income     (35 )   (96 )
   
 
 
  Holdings interest expense, net   $ 43,578   $ 17,949  
   
 
 
Visant:              
  Interest expense   $ 97,991   $ 94,437  
  Amortization of debt discount, premium and deferred financing costs     9,880     13,603  
  Interest income     (2,449 )   (1,195 )
   
 
 
  Visant interest expense, net   $ 105,422   $ 106,845  
   
 
 
    Interest expense, net   $ 149,000   $ 124,794  
   
 
 

        Net interest expense increased $24.2 million, or 19.4%, to $149.0 million for 2006 as compared to $124.8 million for 2005. The increase was the result of higher average interest rates and additional debt from the $350 million of 83/4% senior notes issued by Holdings in 2006, offset by a $100.0 million principal payment against the Term C loan.

        Provision for (benefit from) income taxes.    Our consolidated effective tax rate was 29.0% for 2006 compared with 37.4% for 2005. For 2006, the tax rate was significantly affected by a $3.0 million decrease in income tax expense due to a decrease in the rate at which we expect deferred tax assets and liabilities to be realized or settled in the future. The change in rate was required to reflect the effect of the Company's 2005 state income tax returns which included a complete year's results of operations for companies it began to include in the fourth quarter of 2004 as a result of the Transactions. The tax rate was also favorably affected by the domestic manufacturing profits ("DMD") deduction. The favorable effect of the DMD was greater in 2006 than in 2005, because the deduction was limited in 2005 by our net operating loss carryforward from 2004. The tax effect of foreign earnings repatriations in 2006 was unfavorable compared with 2005 due to the effect of the favorable rate of tax provided under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. For 2007, we anticipate a more normalized consolidated effective tax rate between 37% and 38%.

        Income from discontinued operations.    During 2006, we consummated the sale of our Jostens Photography businesses, which was previously a reportable segment. The transactions closed on June 30, 2006 with the Company recognizing net proceeds of $64.1 million. Operations for the Jostens Photography businesses resulted in losses of $6.1 million in 2006 and income of $1.0 million for 2005. This segment typically reported the majority of its earnings in the fourth quarter.

        The operations of these businesses, which comprised the Educational Textbook segment and a portion of the Marketing and Publishing Services segment, generated income of $15.7 million and $18.0 million in 2006 and 2005, respectively. As of December 2006, our Von Hoffmann Holdings Inc., Von Hoffmann Corporation and Anthology, Inc. businesses were held as assets for sale and, accordingly, are currently presented as discontinued operations.

        Net income.    As a result of the aforementioned items, net income increased $11.3 million to $48.0 million for 2006 from $36.6 million for 2005.

39



Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to the Year Ended January 1, 2005 ("2004")

        Net sales.    Consolidated net sales increased $58.8 million, or 5.6%, to $1,110.7 million for 2005 from $1,051.9 for 2004. Our Jostens Scholastic segment reported full year 2005 net sales of $425.0 million, an increase of 4.7% over $406.1 million in 2004. This year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to stronger sales of class rings and graduation products as well as price increases. The Jostens Yearbook segment reported full year 2005 net sales of $348.5 million, an increase of 4.5% over the $333.6 million in 2004, due to stronger sales volume as well as price increases.

        Our Marketing and Publishing Services segment reported 2005 net sales of $337.4 million, an increase of 8.1% over the $312.2 million reported in 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to increased direct marketing and sampling volume.

        Gross profit.    Gross profit increased $82.8 million, or 17.8%, to $548.5 million for 2005 from $465.7 million for 2004. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit margin increased 5.1% to 49.4% for 2005 from 44.3% for 2004. The increase in gross profit as a percent of sales was primarily a result of a reduction of approximately $49.9 million in purchase accounting depreciation and amortization relating to Jostens compared to 2004. This amortization was primarily related to order backlog intangible assets associated with the accounting of the purchase of Jostens in July 2003. Excluding the impact of these adjustments, gross margin increased to 42.1% in 2005 from an adjusted gross margin of 41.1% in 2004. This increase was primarily due to margin improvement in Jostens Yearbook production, primarily resulting from pricing increases, offset by the $14.7 million of incremental diploma costs incurred at Jostens Scholastic to address manufacturing inefficiencies as a result of the relocation of Jostens' diploma operation at its Red Wing, Minnesota manufacturing facility to other facilities. Gross profit also improved for the Marketing and Publishing Services segment.

        Selling and administrative expenses.    Selling and administrative expenses increased $3.2 million, or 0.8%, to $389.4 million for 2005 from $386.2 million for 2004. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses decreased 1.6% to 35.1% for 2005 from 36.7% for 2004. The $3.2 million increase was primarily due to higher selling expenses, offset somewhat by the impact of administrative headcount reductions.

        Gain on disposal of fixed assets.    Gain on disposal of fixed assets was approximately $0.4 million for 2005 and less than $0.1 million for 2004.

        Special charges.    During 2005, we incurred $5.4 million of special charges including $5.1 million related to severance and benefit costs associated with a reduction in personnel of 83 employees and $0.3 million of costs related to a withdrawal liability under a union retirement plan that was in connection with the consolidation of certain operations. During 2004, we incurred $11.8 million related to severance and benefit costs in connection with restructuring activities at nearly all of our operating units. In 2004, headcount reduction associated with restructuring activities totaled 149 employees.

        Operating income.    As a result of the foregoing, consolidated operating income increased $91.9 million, or 150.7%, to $153.0 million for 2005 from $61.0 million for 2004. As a percentage of net sales, operating income increased to 13.8% for 2005 from 5.8% for 2004.

        Jostens' operating income increased $63.1 million, or 205.7%, to $93.8 million for 2005 compared to $30.7 million for 2004. The increase in Jostens' operating income was primarily a result of approximately $49.9 million less purchase accounting depreciation and amortization than 2004 as well as increased net sales and the implementation of cost reduction initiatives and realization of operating synergies, offset by approximately $14.7 million of costs at Jostens Scholastic to address significant manufacturing inefficiencies.

40



        The Marketing and Publishing Services segment's operating income increased $28.8 million, or 95.1%, to $59.2 million for 2005 from $30.3 million for 2004, primarily as a result of increased direct marketing and sampling volume, favorable product mix and operating synergies.

        Net interest expense.    Net interest expense is comprised of the following:

Holdings:              
  Interest expense   $ 2   $ 193

    Interest expense, net   $ 124,794   $ 125,118  
   
 
 

        Net interest expense decreased $0.3 million, or 0.3%, to $124.8 million for 2005 as compared to $125.1 million for 2004.

        Provision for (benefit from) income taxes.    Our consolidated effective tax rate was 37.4% for 2005 compared with 36.1% for 2004. The rate of tax benefit for 2004 was unfavorably affected by nondeductible interest expense. This effect was largely offset by the reduction of our valuation allowance for accrued high-yield interest, as further described in Note 15, Income Taxes, to our consolidated financial statements. The 2004 rate of tax benefit was also unfavorably affected by nondeductible transaction costs.

        Income from discontinued operations.    During 2006, we consummated the sale of our Jostens Photography businesses, which previously comprised a reportable segment. The operations from this segment resulted in income of $1.0 million and $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively.

        The operations of these businesses, which comprised the Educational Textbook segment and a portion of the Marketing and Publishing Services segment, resulted in income of $18.0 million and a loss of $42.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively. As of December 2006, our Von Hoffmann Holdings Inc., Von Hoffmann Corporation and Anthology, Inc. businesses were held as assets for sale and, accordingly, are currently presented as discontinued operations.

        Net income (loss).    As a result of the aforementioned items, net income increased $137.3 million to $36.6 million for 2005 from a loss of $100.7 million for 2004.

Full Year 2006

        In 2006, operating activities generated cash of $162.6 million, compared with cash generated by operating activities of $168.5 million in 2005. The $5.8 million decrease related primarily to higher cash paid for interest in 2006 compared to 2005 related to the Holdings senior notes issued in April 2006. This decrease was partially offset, however, by increased earnings and decreases in net working capital in 2006 compared to 2005. Included in the cash flows from operating activities is cash provided by discontinued operations of $35.4 million and $42.2 million for 2006 and 2005, respectively. Consequently, the cash provided by continuing operations was $127.3 million and $126.2 million for 2006 and 2005, respectively.

        Net cash used in investing activities for 2006 was $52.6 million, compared with $39.1 million for 2005. The $13.5 million increase in cash used related to business acquisitions in 2006 of $55.8 million and increased capital expenditures in 2006 of $23.2 million compared to 2005. These increases in spending were partially offset by proceeds of $10.5 million from the sale of property and equipment in 2006 compared to $1.3 million from the sale of property and equipment in 2005 as well as proceeds of $64.1 million in 2006 from the sale of the Jostens Photography businesses. Included in the cash flows from investing activities is cash used in discontinued operations of $19.1 million and $11.4 million for 2006 and 2005, respectively. Consequently, the cash used in continuing operations was $33.5 million and $27.7 million for 2006 and 2005, respectively.

        Net cash used in financing activities for 2006 was $111.9 million, a decrease of $81.8 million, compared with cash used in financing activities of $193.7 million for 2005. The decrease was related to lower debt repayments during 2006 compared to 2005 as well as lower short-term borrowings during 2006. During 2006, Holdings issued $350.0 million in senior notes bearing interest at 83/4%, netting proceeds of $340.3 million after transaction costs. These proceeds were offset by a distribution to stockholders of $340.7 million. Included in the cash flows from financing activities is cash used in discontinued operations of $0.1 million for 2005. Consequently, the cash used in continuing operations was $111.9 million and $193.6 million for 2006 and 2005, respectively.

        During 2006, Visant voluntarily prepaid $100.0 million of its term loans under its senior secured credit facilities, including all originally scheduled principal payments due under its Term C Loans for 2006 through mid-2011.

        As of December 30, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $18.8 million. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities and available borrowings under Visant's senior secured credit facilities, which included $233.3 million available under Visant's revolving credit facility as of December 30, 2006. We use cash primarily for debt service obligations, capital expenditures and

42



to fund other working capital requirements. We intend to fund ongoing operations through cash generated by operations and borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

        Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal, or to pay the interest on, or to refinance our indebtedness, or to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our future performance. Based upon the current level of operations, we believe that cash flow from operations, available cash and short-term investments, together with borrowings available under Visant's senior secured credit facilities, are adequate to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months. In addition, based on market and other considerations, we may decide to raise additional funds through debt or equity financings. Furthermore, to the extent we make future acquisitions, we may require new sources of funding, including additional debt or equity financing or some combination thereof. We may not be able to secure additional sources of funding on favorable terms.

Full Year 2005

        In 2005, operating activities generated cash of $168.5 million, compared with cash generated by operating activities of $114.1 million in 2004. The $54.3 million increase related primarily to increased earnings and lower cash paid for interest in 2005 compared to 2004. Included in the cash flows from operating activities is cash provided by discontinued operations of $42.2 million in 2005 and cash used in discontinued operations of $15.3 million for 2004. Consequently, the cash provided by continuing operations was $126.2 million and $98.9 million for 2005 and 2004, respectively.

        Net cash used in investing activities for 2005 was $39.1 million, compared with $37.9 million for 2004. The $1.2 million increase related to lower proceeds from asset sales in 2005 compared to 2004. Capital expenditures were $28.7 million in 2005 compared to $37.7 million in 2004. Included in the cash flows from investing activities is cash used in discontinued operations of $11.4 million in 2005 and cash used in discontinued operations of $6.9 million for 2004. Consequently, the cash used in continuing operations was $27.7 million and $31.0 million for 2005 and 2004, respectively.

        Net cash used in financing activities for 2005 was $193.7 million, an increase of $153.2 million, compared with cash used in financing activities of $40.5 million for 2004. The increase was related to higher debt repayments during 2005 compared to 2004. Included in the cash flows from financing activities is cash used in discontinued operations of $0.1 million in 2005 and cash used in discontinued operations of $464.3 million for 2004. Consequently, the cash used in continuing operations was $193.6 million and cash provided by continuing operations was $423.9 million for 2005 and 2004, respectively.

        During 2005, Visant voluntarily prepaid $203.5 million of term loans under its senior secured credit facilities including all principal payments due in 2005 through most of 2010.

        During the second quarter of 2005, Holdings contributed $9.0 million in cash to Visant which is reflected in Visant's consolidated statement of cash flows as a contribution from Holdings. These amounts eliminate in consolidation and have no impact on Holdings' consolidated financial statements.

Projected interest expense related to the variable rate term loans is based on market rates as of the end of 2006.

(2)
In October 2004, we entered into a management agreement with KKR and DLJMBP III to provide management and advisory services to us. We agreed to pay an annual fee of $3.0 million, effective October 2004, subject to 3% annual increases. Since the agreement does not have an expiration date, the obligation as presented above only reflects one additional year of management fees beyond 2011.

(3)
Also outstanding as of December 30, 2006 was $16.7 million in the form of letters of credit.

        We intend to fund ongoing operations through cash generated by operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We have substantial debt service requirements.

        Visant's senior secured credit facilities were originally comprised of a $150 million senior secured Term Loan A facility with a six-year maturity, an $870 million senior secured Term C loan facility with a seven-year maturity and a $250 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a five-year maturity. As of year-end 2006, we had $16.7 million of standby letters of credit outstanding. Visant had repaid the entire outstanding indebtedness under its revolving credit facility as of December 30, 2006. In 2006, Visant voluntarily prepaid $100.0 million of scheduled payments under the term loan facilities with free cash flow generated from operations. With these pre-payments, the outstanding balance under the Term C Loan facility was reduced to $716.5 million. Amounts borrowed under the term loan facilities that were repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Visant's senior secured credit facilities allow us, subject to certain conditions, to incur additional term loans under the Term Loan C facility, or under a new term facility, in either case in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300 million, which additional term loans will have the same security and guarantees as the Term Loan A and Term

44


Loan C facilities. Additionally, restrictions under the Visant senior subordinated note indenture would limit Visant's ability to borrow the full amount of additional term loan borrowings under such a facility.

        Borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities initially bear interest at Visant's option at either adjusted LIBOR plus 2.50% per annum for the U.S. dollar denominated loans under the revolving credit facility and LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum for the Term C Loan Facility or the alternate base rate plus 1.50% for U.S. dollar denominated loans under the revolving credit facility and base rate plus 1.25% for the Term C Loan Facility (or, in the case of Canadian dollar denominated loans under the revolving credit facility, the bankers' acceptance discount rate plus 2.50% or the Canadian prime rate plus 1.50% per annum) and are subject to adjustment based on a pricing grid.

        The senior secured credit facilities require Visant to meet a maximum total leverage ratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum capital expenditures limitation. In addition, the senior secured credit facilities contain certain restrictive covenants which, among other things, limit Visant's ability to create liens, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other equity distributions, repurchase or redeem capital stock, prepay subordinated debt, make investments, merge or consolidate, change Visant's business, amend the terms of subordinated debt and engage in certain other activities customarily restricted in such agreements. The senior secured credit facilities also contain certain customary events of default, subject to grace periods, as appropriate.

        On October 4, 2004, Visant issued $500 million in principal amount of 7.625% senior subordinated notes (the "Visant notes") due October 1, 2012 in a private placement to a limited number of qualified institutional buyers, as defined under the Securities Act, and to a limited number of persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act. On March 30, 2005, we completed an offer to exchange the entire principal amount of these notes for an equal amount of notes with substantially identical terms that have been registered under the Securities Act. The Visant notes are not collateralized and are subordinated in right of payment to the senior secured credit facilities. The senior secured credit facilities and the Visant notes are guaranteed by Visant's restricted domestic subsidiaries. Cash interest on the Visant notes accrues and is payable semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing April 1, 2005, at a rate of 7.625%. The Visant notes may be redeemed at the option of Visant on or after October 1, 2008 at prices ranging from 103.813% of principal to 100% in 2010 and thereafter.

        On December 2, 2003, Visant Holdings issued $247.2 million in principal amount at maturity of 10.25% senior discount notes (the "Holdings discount notes") due December 1, 2013 in a private placement to a limited number of qualified institutional buyers, as defined under the Securities Act, and to a limited number of persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act for gross proceeds of $150 million. On March 8, 2004, we completed an offer to exchange the entire principal amount at maturity of these notes for an equal amount at maturity of notes with substantially identical terms that had been registered under the Securities Act. The Holdings discount notes are not collateralized, are structurally subordinate in right of payment to all debt and other liabilities of our subsidiaries and are not guaranteed. No cash interest accrues on the Holdings discount notes until December 2008, and thereafter cash interest will accrue at a rate of 10.25% per annum. Prior to that time, interest accretes on the Holdings discount notes in the form of an increase in the principal amount of the notes.

        At the end of the first quarter of 2006, Holdings privately placed $350.0 million of 83/4% Senior Notes due 2013 (the "Holdings senior notes"), with settlement on April 4, 2006. On October 10, 2006, we completed an offer to exchange the entire principal amount of these notes for an equal amount of notes with substantially identical terms that have been registered under the Securities Act. The senior notes are unsecured and are subordinated in right of payment to all of Holdings' existing and future secured indebtedness and that of its subsidiaries, and senior in right of payment to all of Holdings' existing and future subordinated indebtedness. The senior notes are structurally subordinate in right of

45



payment to all debt and other liabilities of our subsidiaries and are not guaranteed. Cash interest on the Holdings senior notes accrues and is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1, commencing June 1, 2006, at a rate of 8.75%. The Holdings senior notes may be redeemed at the option of Holdings prior to December 1, 2008, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium. The Holdings senior notes may be redeemed at the option of Holdings on or after December 1, 2008, in whole or in part, in cash at prices ranging from 106.563% of principal in 2008 to 100.0% of principal in 2011 and thereafter.

        The indentures governing the Visant notes, the Holdings discount notes and the Holdings senior notes also contain numerous covenants including, among other things, restrictions on our ability to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue disqualified or preferred stock; pay dividends or make other equity distributions; repurchase or redeem capital stock; make investments or other restricted payments; sell assets or consolidate or merge with or into other companies; create limitations on the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to make dividends or distributions to us; engage in transactions with affiliates; and create liens.

        As of December 30, 2006, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its material debt obligations.

        Future principal debt payments are expected to be paid out of cash flows from operations, borrowings under Visant's revolving credit facilities and future refinancings of our debt.

        As market conditions warrant, we and our Sponsors, including KKR and DLJMBP III and their affiliates, may from time to time repurchase debt securities issued by Holdings or Visant, in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise. No assurance can be given as to whether or when such repurchases or exchanges will occur and at what price.

        For 2006, 2005 and 2004, we had capital expenditures from continuing operations of $51.9 million, $28.7 million and $37.7 million, respectively, primarily for additional capacity, automation, information technology and ongoing maintenance.

        On February 9, 2007, Moody's Investors Service changed the outlook of Holdings from developing to positive. The outlook change reflects expected improvement in Holdings' credit profile due to both potential debt repayment with proceeds from the sale of the Von Hoffmann businesses and strong fundamental operating performance. Moody's also affirmed the B1 corporate family rating and all other ratings for Holdings and Visant. The B1 corporate family rating reflects our high leverage, somewhat aggressive financial policy and concerns over increasing competition in the direct marketing space. Reference is made to the Moody's announcements for a full explanation of the factors considered. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and any rating may be revised or withdrawn at any time by the assigning rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Precious Metals Consignment Arrangement

        We have a precious metals consignment agreement with a major financial institution whereby we currently have the ability to obtain up to $32.5 million in consigned inventory. As required by the terms of the agreement, we do not take title to consigned inventory until payment. Accordingly, we do not include the value of consigned inventory or the corresponding liability in our financial statements. The value of consigned inventory at December 30, 2006 and 2005 was $16.4 million and $26.1 million, respectively. The agreement does not have a stated term, and it can be terminated by either party upon 60 days written notice. Additionally, we incurred expenses for consignment fees related to this agreement of $0.6 million for 2006, $0.6 million for 2005 and $0.5 million for 2004. The obligations under the consignment agreement are guaranteed by Visant.

46



        Other than our precious metals consignment arrangement and general operating leases, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The interpretation defines the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The new guidance became effective for us on January 1, 2007. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 will be recorded in retained earnings and other accounts as applicable. We are currently evaluating the provisions of FIN 48 to determine its impact on our financial statements.

        In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS No. 157"), that establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 requires companies to disclose the fair value of their financial instruments according to a fair value hierarchy as defined in the standard. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS No. 157 to determine the impact, if any, on our financial statements.

        In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans ("SFAS No. 158"). SFAS No. 158 requires the recognition of the funded status of a benefit plan on the balance sheet; the recognition in other comprehensive income of gains or losses and prior service costs or credits arising during the period but which are not included as components of periodic benefit cost; the measurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the balance sheet date; and disclosure of additional information about the effects on periodic benefit cost for the following fiscal year arising from delayed recognition in the current period. In addition, SFAS No. 158 amends SFAS No. 87, Employers' Accounting for Pensions, and SFAS No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, to include guidance regarding selection of assumed discount rates for use in measuring the benefit obligation. The new guidance will be effective for us the first fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS No. 158 to determine the impact, if any, on our financial statements.

        In September 2006, the SEC Staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements ("SAB 108"), to clarify consideration of the effects of the prior year errors when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB 108 states that registrants should quantify errors using both a balance sheet approach and an income statement approach when quantifying and evaluating the materiality of a misstatement. The new guidance is applicable to annual financial statements for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company assessed the effects of the adoption and determined that adopting this pronouncement did not have an impact on the financial statements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market Risk

        We are subject to market risk associated with changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. To reduce any one of these risks, we may at times use financial

47



instruments. All hedging transactions are authorized and executed under clearly defined company policies and procedures, which prohibit the use of financial instruments for trading purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

        We are subject to market risk associated with changes in LIBOR and other variable interest rates in connection with our senior secured credit facilities. If the short-term interest rates or the LIBOR averaged 10% more or less, interest expense would have changed by $6.0 million for 2006, $5.7 million for 2005 and $0.8 million for 2004.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

        We are exposed to market risks from changes in foreign exchange rates. We have foreign operations primarily in Canada and Europe, where substantially all transactions are denominated in Canadian dollars and euros, respectively. Jostens from time to time enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge certain purchases of inventory denominated in foreign currencies. We may also periodically enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge certain exposures related to selected transactions that are relatively certain as to both timing and amount and to hedge a portion of the production costs expected to be denominated in foreign currencies. The purpose of these hedging activities is to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on our results of operations and cash flows. We consider our market risk in such activities to be immaterial.

Commodity Price Risk

        We are subject to market risk associated with changes in the price of precious metals. To mitigate our commodity price risk, we enter into forward contracts to purchase gold, platinum and silver based upon the estimated ounces needed to satisfy projected customer demand. We periodically prepare a sensitivity analysis to estimate our exposure to market risk on open precious metal forward purchase contracts. We consider our market risk associated with these contracts as of the end of 2006 and 2005 to be immaterial. Market risk was estimated as the potential loss in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in fair value and giving effect to the increase in fair value over our aggregate forward contract commitment.

        On June 8, 2006, we entered into definitive agreements to sell our Jostens Photography businesses, which previously comprised a reportable segment. The transactions closed on June 30, 2006. The discontinued operations of the Jostens Photography businesses are excluded from the consolidated financial statements retrospective from the date of disposition.

        On June 16, 2006, we acquired, through a wholly owned subsidiary, substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of the Dixon Web operation of the Sleepeck Printing Company, a provider of innovative marketing services and products located in Dixon, Illinois. At the time of acquisition, the name of the business was changed to Dixon Direct Corp. The results of Dixon's operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date.

        On September 8, 2006, a newly formed subsidiary of ours acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of the Vertis, Inc. fragrance sampling business. The acquired business currently operates under the Arcade Marketing name. The acquisition was a strategic step to continue to expand our Marketing and Publishing Services segment, which services the fragrance, cosmetic, personal care and other consumer product market segments. The results of these acquired operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date.

        As of December 2006, our Von Hoffmann Holdings Inc., Von Hoffmann Corporation and Anthology, Inc. businesses were held as assets for sale. On January 3, 2007, we entered into the Von Hoffmann Stock Purchase Agreement with R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company providing for the sale of Von Hoffmann Holdings Inc., Von Hoffmann Corporation and Anthology, Inc., which previously comprised the Educational Textbook segment and a portion of the Marketing and Publishing Services segment. The regulatory review of the proposed transaction through a second request by the Federal Trade Commission has been completed, and we expect to close the transaction on or about May 16, 2007. The operations of the Von Hoffmann businesses are reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

        On March 16, 2007, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Neff Holding Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Neff Motivation, Inc. Neff is a leading single source provider of custom award programs and apparel, including chenille letters and letter jackets, to the scholastic market segment. As of the date of acquisition, Neff is operating as a direct subsidiary of Visant under the Neff brand name and its results will be reported together with the results of the Jostens scholastic operations as the renamed Scholastic segment.

Business Strengths

        We believe that we are distinguished by the following business strengths:

Leading market positions and competitive advantages

        We believe that we have leading positions in the markets in which we operate. The majority of sales for our yearbook and scholastic segments are "in the schoolhouse", to school administrators and students, with whom long-standing relationships and the trust that an individualized, quality product will be delivered on time are important. We believe that our sampling system and direct mail businesses are industry leaders in the introduction of innovative products, including formats produced under proprietary processes.

49



Attractive and growing industry dynamics

        The markets for our products and services exhibit attractive characteristics that we believe will contribute to the growth of our businesses. We believe that continued growth in the number of high school graduates will benefit our yearbook and scholastic segments. Our core yearbook and scholastic products are generally purchases that are made through various economic cycles. Additionally, we believe that the anticipated growth in instructional materials over the next several years will be a primary contributor to growth for our cover business. Similarly, we believe that our sampling system and direct mail business is well positioned to benefit from growth in the advertising market.

Reputation for superior quality and customer service

        We have successfully leveraged the quality and depth of our products and services to establish, maintain and grow our long-term customer relationships. We currently serve approximately over 25,000 schools and a variety of leading fragrance, cosmetic, personal care and consumer products customers. We believe our businesses are well regarded in the markets in which they operate, where reliable service, product quality and the ability to solve complex production and distribution problems are important competitive attributes. Jostens and Neff have maintained long-standing relationships with administrators and students through their ability to provide highly customized and personalized products. A high degree of customer satisfaction translates into annual retention rates of over 90% of Jostens' customers in its major product lines. Our sampling business' technical expertise, manufacturing reliability and customer capabilities have enabled it to develop strong relationships with its customers.

Experienced management team

        Our executive management team has considerable industry experience. Marc Reisch, who joined our company in October 2004 as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, has over 25 years experience in the printing and publishing industries and formerly served as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Quebecor World North America. He also has a proven track record of successfully acquiring and integrating companies. Our senior management team has substantial industry experience and on average of over 20 years of experience in the industries in which our companies operate. Our management team members are also highly motivated stakeholders through our equity and option plan, which includes substantial management investment in our equity.

Business Strategy

        The principal features of our business strategy include the following:

Improve customer service and selling strategy to drive growth

        We strive to enhance our relationships with our customers through marketing and selling initiatives focused on customer service and sales force effectiveness across our businesses. Each of our businesses maintains separate sales forces to sell their products, which help to ensure continuity in our customer relationships. We believe there are opportunities within each of our businesses to increase sales to existing customers and to expand our customer base through a continued focus on our selling strategy. At Jostens, our sales strategy is focused on improving account retention and buy rates through enhanced customer service and new product offerings, increasing the cross-selling of additional Jostens products to existing customers and adding new customers. We intend to grow our market share within our Marketing and Publishing Services segment through a continued emphasis on customer service and product innovation. We are also making efforts to expand our customer base in this segment by emphasizing the effectiveness of our sampling system advertising solutions in less traditional markets such as consumer-packaged goods.

50


Enhance core product and service offerings

        We have continually invested in our businesses to position ourselves as a leader in innovation and breadth of products and services in each market we serve. Through new product development and services and the addition of new features and customization, as well as more conventional expenditures on new equipment, we believe we will further stimulate the demand for our products, improve account retention and relationships and generate additional revenue. For instance, Jostens continues to be an industry leader in introducing on-line tools to assist in the layout and publication of yearbooks. We recently enhanced our product offerings in our Scholastic segment to include letter jackets and chenille letters through our acquisition of Neff. Similarly, our Marketing and Publishing Services business has selectively added enhanced service and product offerings. For example, we have expanded our sampling system business by developing and acquiring new technologies in the olfactory and beauty sampling system categories. Our direct mail business continues to develop innovative services and in-line manufacturing solutions for its direct marketing and advertising customers. We continue to invest time and resources to maintain our leading positions in the markets in which we operate.

Implement cost savings initiatives

        Since the consummation of the 2004 combination of Jostens, Von Hoffmann and Arcade to form Visant, we have been successful in identifying and realizing significant cost savings. These cost savings are being achieved primarily through procurement initiatives aimed at reducing the costs of materials and services used in our operations and reducing corporate and administrative expenses. We intend to continue to identify and pursue synergistic cost savings opportunities, including through acquisitions we complete.

Improve operating efficiencies and asset utilization

        The integration of the businesses has provided opportunities to maximize the efficiency of our assets and operations and grow revenue and profitability. The seasonality present in our businesses allows us the opportunity to capture selected production opportunities as well as leveraging asset utilization across product lines. We also intend to leverage our production capabilities, our reputation in the markets in which we operate and our management team's industry experience to capitalize on market opportunities.

Selectively pursue complementary acquisitions

        We intend to continue to pursue opportunistic acquisitions to leverage our existing infrastructure, expand our geographic reach and broaden our product and service offerings.

Our Segments

        Our three reportable segments as of December 30, 2006 consisted of:

    Jostens Scholastic—provides services related to the marketing, sale and production of class rings, graduation products and other scholastic products;

    Jostens Yearbook—provides services related to the publication, marketing, sale and production of school yearbooks; and

    Marketing and Publishing Services—produces multi-sensory and interactive advertising sampling systems, primarily for the fragrance, cosmetics and personal care market segments, and provides innovative products and services to the direct marketing sector. The group also produces book covers and other components for educational publishers.

        For additional financial and other information about our operating segments, see Note 18, Business Segments, to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Jostens

        Jostens is a leading provider of school-related affinity products and services that help people celebrate important moments, recognize achievements and build affiliation. Founded in 1897, Jostens has a history of providing quality products, which has enabled it to develop long-standing relationships with school administrators throughout the country. Jostens' high degree of customer satisfaction translates into annual retention rates of over 90% in its major product lines. Jostens' products and services are predominantly offered to North American high school and college students, through a national network of primarily independent sales representatives and associates.

        Jostens' operations are reported in two segments: (1) Jostens Scholastic and (2) Jostens Yearbook.

        Jostens Scholastic.    Jostens is one of the leading providers of services related to the marketing, sale and production of class rings and an array of graduation products, such as caps, gowns, diplomas and announcements and graduation-related accessories. Jostens Scholastic primarily serves U.S. high schools, colleges, universities and other specialty markets, marketing and selling its products to students and administrators through independent sales representatives. Jostens provides a high level of customer service in the marketing and sale of class rings and certain other graduation products, which often involves a high degree of customization. Jostens also provides ongoing warranty service on its class and affiliation rings. Jostens maintains product-specific tooling as well as a library of school logos and mascots that can be used repeatedly for specific school accounts over time. In addition to its class ring offerings, Jostens also designs, manufactures, markets and sells championship rings for professional sports and affinity rings for a variety of specialty markets.

        Jostens Yearbook.    Jostens is one of the leading providers of services related to the publication, marketing, sale and production of yearbooks, primarily serving U.S. high schools, colleges, universities and middle schools. Jostens generates the majority of its revenues from high school accounts. Jostens' sales representatives and technical support employees assist students and faculty advisers with the planning and layout of yearbooks, including through the provision of on-line layout and editorial tools to assist in the publication of the yearbook. With a new class of students each year and periodic faculty advisor turnover, Jostens' independent sales representatives and customer service employees are the main point of continuity for the yearbook production process on a year-to-year basis.

Marketing and Publishing Services

        The Marketing and Publishing Services segment produces multi-sensory and interactive advertising sampling systems, primarily for the fragrance, cosmetics and personal care market segment, and innovative, highly personalized products primarily targeted at the direct marketing sector. We are also a leading producer of supplemental materials and related components such as decorative covers and plastic transparencies for educational publishers. With over a 100-year history as Arcade Marketing, we pioneered our ScentStrip® product in 1980. We also offer an extensive portfolio of proprietary, patented and patent-pending technologies that can be incorporated into various marketing programs designed to reach the consumer at home or in-store, including magazine and catalog inserts, remittance envelopes, statement enclosures, blow-ins, direct mail, direct sell and point-of-sale materials and gift-with-purchase/purchase-with-purchase programs. We specialize in high-quality, in-line finished products and can accommodate large marketing projects with a wide range of dimensional products and in-line finishing production, data processing and mailing services. Our personalized imaging capabilities offer individualized messages to each recipient within a geographical area or demographic group for targeted marketing efforts.

52



Competition

Jostens

        The school-related affinity products and services industry consists principally of four national manufacturers and a number of smaller regional and niche competitors. The four national competitors in the sale of yearbooks, class rings and scholastic products are Jostens, American Achievement Corporation, Herff Jones, Inc. and Walsworth Publishing Company. We believe that Jostens is the largest of the national competitors in yearbooks, class rings and graduation products based on the number of schools served. American Achievement and Herff Jones are the only other national manufacturers that sell each of these three product lines.

        Scholastic.    Jostens' competition in class rings consists primarily of two national firms, Herff Jones and American Achievement (which market the Balfour and ArtCarved brands, respectively). Herff Jones distributes its products within schools, while American Achievement distributes its products through multiple distribution channels including schools, independent and chain jewelers and mass merchandisers. Jostens distributes its products primarily within schools. In the affiliation ring market, Jostens competes primarily with national manufacturers, consumer product and jewelry companies and a number of small regional competitors. Class rings sold through independent and chain jewelers and mass merchandisers are generally lower priced rings than class rings sold through schools. Customer service is particularly important in the sale of class rings because of the high degree of customization and the emphasis on timely delivery. In the marketing and sale of other graduation products, Jostens competes primarily with American Achievement and Herff Jones as well as numerous local and regional competitors who offer products similar to Jostens. Each competes on the basis of service, on-time delivery, product quality, price and product offerings, with particular importance given to establishing a proven track record of timely delivery of quality products.

        Yearbooks.    In the sale of yearbooks, Jostens competes primarily with American Achievement (which markets under the Taylor Publishing brand), Herff Jones and Walsworth. Each competes on the basis of service, product customization and personalization, on-time delivery, print quality, price and product offerings. Customization and personalization capabilities, combined with technical assistance and customer service, are important factors in yearbook production.

Marketing and Publishing Services

        The Marketing and Publishing Services business competes primarily with Orlandi, Inc. and a number of smaller competitors in the fragrance and cosmetic sampling market. Our sampling system business also competes with numerous manufacturers of sampling products such as miniatures, vials, packets, sachets, blister packs and scratch and sniff products. Our direct mail products and services compete with numerous other marketing and advertising venues for marketing dollars customers allocate to various types of advertising, marketing and promotional efforts such as television and in-store promotions as well as other printed products produced by numerous national and regional printers. We compete primarily with Coral Graphics Services, Inc. and Phoenix Color Corporation in the sale of book covers and components.

Seasonality

        We experience seasonal fluctuations in our net sales tied primarily to the North American school year. We recorded approximately 40% of our annual net sales for our continuing operations fiscal 2006 during the second quarter of our fiscal year. Jostens generates a significant portion of its annual net sales in the second quarter. Deliveries of caps, gowns and diplomas for spring graduation ceremonies and spring deliveries of school yearbooks are the key drivers of Jostens' seasonality. The net sales of sampling and other direct mail and printed products have also historically reflected seasonal variations, and we expect these businesses to continue to generate a majority of their annual net sales during our

53



third and fourth quarters. These seasonal variations are based on the timing of customers' advertising campaigns, which have traditionally been concentrated prior to the Christmas and spring holiday seasons. The seasonality of each of our businesses requires us to allocate our resources to manage our manufacturing capacity, which often operates at full or near full capacity during peak seasonal demands.

Raw Materials

        The principal raw materials that Jostens purchases are gold and other precious metals, paper and precious, semiprecious and synthetic stones. The cost of precious metals and precious, semiprecious and synthetic stones is affected by market volatility. To manage the risk associated with changes in the prices of precious metals, Jostens may from time to time enter into forward contracts to purchase gold, platinum and silver based upon the estimated ounces needed to satisfy projected customer demand. The price of gold has increased dramatically during the past year, and we expect the volatility in the price of gold to continue. These higher gold prices have impacted, and could further impact, our operating expenses as well as the level of spending by our customers. Jostens purchases substantially all precious, semiprecious and synthetic stones from a single supplier located in Germany whom we believe is also a supplier to Jostens' major class ring competitors in the United States.

        The principal raw materials purchased by the Marketing and Publishing Services business consist of paper, ink and adhesives. Paper costs generally flow through to the customer as paper is ordered for specific jobs. We do not take significant commodity risk on paper. Our sampling system business utilizes specific grades of paper and foil laminates, which are, respectively, purchased from a limited number of suppliers.

        Matters pertaining to our market risks are set forth above under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk."

Backlog

        Because of the nature of our business, all orders are generally filled within a few months from the time of placement. However, Jostens typically obtains contracts in the second quarter of one year for student yearbooks to be delivered in the second and third quarters of the subsequent year. Often the total revenue pertaining to a yearbook order is not established at the time of the order because the content of the book is not final. Subject to the foregoing qualifications, we estimate the backlog of orders, related primarily to our yearbook and scholastic businesses, was $393.6 and $370.7 million as of the end of 2006 and 2005, respectively. We expect most of the 2006 backlog to be confirmed and filled in 2007.

Environmental

        Our operations are subject to a wide variety of federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations governing emissions to air, discharges to waters, the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of hazardous substances and other materials, and employee health and safety matters. Compliance with such laws and regulations have become more stringent and, accordingly, more costly over time.

        As part of our environmental management program, we have been involved in environmental remediation on a property formerly owned and operated by Jostens for jewelry manufacturing. Although Jostens no longer owns the site, Jostens managed the remediation project, which began in 2000. As of December 30, 2006, Jostens had made payments totaling $8.0 million for remediation at this site. During 2001, Jostens received reimbursement from its insurance carrier in the amount of $2.7 million, net of legal costs. In July 2006, the State of Illinois Environmental Protection Agency

54



issued a "No Further Remediation" letter with respect to this site. Jostens has certain ongoing monitoring obligations. We do not expect the cost of such ongoing monitoring to be material. While Jostens may have an additional right of contribution or reimbursement under insurance policies, amounts recoverable from other entities with respect to a particular site are not considered until recoveries are deemed probable.

Intellectual Property

        Our businesses rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, confidentiality and licensing agreements and unpatented proprietary know-how and trade secrets to establish and protect the intellectual property rights we employ in our businesses. We also have trademarks registered in the United States and in jurisdictions around the world. In particular, we have a number of registered patents in the United States and abroad covering certain of the proprietary processes and products used in our sampling systems and direct mail businesses and we have submitted patent applications for certain other manufacturing processes and products. However, many of our sampling system and direct mail manufacturing processes and products are not covered by any patent or patent application. As a result, our business may be adversely affected by competitors who independently develop equivalent or superior technologies, know-how, trade secrets or production methods or processes than those employed by us. We are involved in litigation from time to time in the course of our businesses to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights, and third parties from time to time may initiate litigation against us challenging our intellectual property rights or asserting that our businesses infringe or otherwise violate their intellectual property rights.

        Our company has ongoing research and development efforts and expects to seek additional intellectual property protection in the future covering results of its research. Pending patent applications filed by us may not result in patents being issued. Furthermore, the patents that we use in our sampling system and direct marketing businesses will expire over time. Similarly, patents now or hereafter owned by us may not afford protection against competitors with similar or superior technology. Our patents may be infringed upon, designed around by others, challenged by others or held to be invalid or unenforceable.

Employees

        As of December 30, 2006, we had approximately 5,096 full-time employees (excluding the 1,469 employees employed at our discontinued operations). As of December 30, 2006, approximately 702 of Jostens' employees were represented under two collective bargaining agreements that expire in June and August of 2007, and approximately 379 employees from our Marketing and Publishing Services business were represented under three collective bargaining agreements. These collective bargaining agreements expire at various times between March 2008 and March 2012. We also have 263 employees in our discontinued operations covered under three collective bargaining agreements that expire between September and November 2009.

        We are negotiating a first collective bargaining agreement covering approximately 140 employees at our Pennsauken, New Jersey location, following an election at the facility that occurred in February 2007.

        We consider our relations with our employees to be satisfactory.

International Operations

        Our foreign sales from continuing operations are derived primarily from operations in Canada and Europe. Local taxation, import duties, fluctuation in currency exchange rates and restrictions on exportation of currencies are among risks attendant to foreign operations, but these risks are not considered significant with respect to our businesses.

In addition, we lease other sales and administrative office space. In management's opinion, all buildings, machinery and equipment are suitable for their purposes and are maintained on a basis consistent with sound operations. The extent of utilization of individual facilities

56



varies significantly due to the seasonal nature of our business. In addition, certain of our properties are subject to a mortgage held by Visant's lenders under its senior secured credit facilities.

Legal Proceedings

        In communications with U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("Customs"), we learned of an alleged inaccuracy of the tariff classification for certain of Jostens' imports from Mexico. Jostens promptly filed with Customs a voluntary disclosure to limit its monetary exposure. The effect of these tariff classification errors is that back duties and fees (or "loss of revenue") may be owed on certain imports. Additionally, Customs may impose interest on the loss of revenue, if any is determined. A review of Jostens' import practices has revealed that during the relevant period, Jostens' merchandise qualified for duty-free tariff treatment under the North American Free Trade Agreement ("NAFTA"), in which case there should be no loss of revenue or interest payment owed to Customs. However, Customs' allegations indicate that Jostens committed a technical oversight in claiming the preferential tariff treatment. Through its prior disclosure to Customs, Jostens' addressed this technical oversight and asserted that the merchandise did in fact qualify for duty-free tariff treatment under NAFTA and that there is no associated loss of revenue. In a series of communications received from Customs in December 2006, Jostens received a pre-penalty notice that Customs is disputing the validity of Jostens prior disclosure and asserting a loss of revenue in the amount of $2.9 million for duties owed on entries made in 2002 and 2003 and in a separate communication was advised that Customs is contemplating a monetary penalty in the amount of approximately $5.8 million (two times the alleged loss of revenue). In order to obtain the benefits of the orderly continuation and conclusion of administrative proceedings, Jostens agreed to a two year waiver of the statute of limitations with respect to the entries made in 2002 and 2003 that otherwise would have expired at the end of 2007 and 2008, respectively. Jostens has elected to continue to address this matter by filing a petition in response to the pre-penalty notice. This petition was filed in January 2007 disputing Customs' claims and advancing its arguments to support that no loss of revenue or penalty should be issued against the Company, or in the alternative, that any penalty based on a purely technical violation should be reduced to a nominal fixed amount reflective of the nature of the violation. The penalty proceeding is in the early stages, and it is not clear what Customs' final position will be with respect to the alleged tariff classification errors or that Jostens will not be foreclosed under statute from making post-entry NAFTA claims for the subject imports. Jostens intends to continue to vigorously defend its position and has recorded no accrual for any potential liability. However, Jostens may not be successful in its defense, and the disposition of this matter may have a material effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        We are also a party to other litigation arising in the normal course of business. We regularly analyze current information and, as necessary, provide accruals for probable liabilities on the eventual disposition of these matters. We do not believe the effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, if any, for the disposition of these matters will be material.

Our Board of Directors

        Our Board of Directors is currently comprised of six members.

Under the Stockholders Agreement entered into in connection with the Transactions, KKR and DLJMBP III each has the right to designate four of Holdings' directors (currently three KKR and two DLJMBP III designees serve on our board) and our Chief Executive Officer and President, Marc Reisch, is Chairman. Our Board of Directors currently has three standing committees—an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and an Executive Committee.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION


Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

        This compensation discussion describes the material elements, policies and practices with respect to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and the other three most highly-compensated executive officers, which are collectively referred to as the named executive officers. This compensation discussion also describes the material elements of compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to each of our named executive officers.

        We provide what we believe is a competitive total compensation package to our executive management team through a combination of base salary, an annual cash incentive plan, long-term equity incentives in the form of stock options and, in certain cases, restricted stock, retirement and other benefits and perquisites, and post-termination severance and acceleration of equity award vesting for named executive officers upon certain termination events and/or a change in control. Certain other post-termination benefits are provided to our Chief Executive Officer. Our other benefits and perquisites include life, disability, medical, dental and vision insurance benefits, a qualified 401(k) savings plan and other retirement benefits and include reimbursement for certain medical expenses and automobile payments. Our philosophy is to provide a total compensation package at a level that is commensurate with our size and provides incentive and rewards for sustained performance and growth.

Objectives of our Executive Compensation Program

        In General.    Our compensation programs are designed to achieve the following objectives:

    attract, motivate, retain and reward talented and dedicated executives whose knowledge, skill and performance are critical to our success and long-term growth;

    provide our executive officers with both cash and equity incentives to further the interests of us and our stockholders;

    align rewards to measurable performance metrics; and

    compensate our executives to manage our business to meet our long-range objectives.

        Compensation Process.    Our Compensation Committee reviews and approves all elements of compensation for our named executive officers. The Compensation Committee meets outside the presence of all of our executive officers, including the named executive officers, to consider appropriate compensation for our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO. For all other named executive officers, the Committee meets outside the presence of all executive officers except our CEO. Mr. Reisch annually reviews each other named executive officer's performance with the Compensation Committee and makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee, other than with respect to his own compensation. The Compensation Committee has from time to time reviewed market and industry data in setting compensation. We do not generally retain outside compensation consultants to review our executive compensation but may do so in the future.

Base Salary

        We provide the opportunity for our named executive officers and other executives to earn a competitive annual base salary in order to attract and retain an appropriate caliber of ability, experience and talent for the position, and to provide base compensation that is not subject to our performance risk. We establish the base salary for each executive officer based in part in consideration of competitive factors as well as individual factors, such as the individual's performance and experience and, to a certain extent, the pay of others on the executive team. When establishing the base salary of

62



any executive officer, we have also considered business requirements for certain skills, individual experience and contributions, the roles and responsibilities of the executive, the potential impact the individual may make on our company now and in the future. We generally review base salaries for our named executive officers on an 18-month or longer cycle and increases are based on individual performance as well as the assumption of expanded duties, as applicable. The base salaries paid to our named executive officers are set forth below in the Summary Compensation Table.

        The salary of our CEO is set by our Compensation Committee, but in accordance with his employment agreement, will not be less than $850,000 during the term of his employment agreement and any renewal term. The Compensation Committee also approved increases in the annual base salary rate for 2007 for: Mr. Reisch, from $850,000 to $950,000, Mr. Bailey, from $500,000 to $550,000, Mr. Van Horn, from $370,000 to $400,000, and Mr. Carousso, from $240,000 to $260,000. This was the first increase for each of these persons since the time of the October 2004 Transactions.

Annual Performance-Based Cash Incentive Compensation

        General.    We provide the opportunity for our named executive officers and other key employees to earn an annual cash incentive award in order to further align our executives' compensation opportunity with our annual business and financial goals and the growth objectives of our stockholders, and to motivate our executives' annual performance. Our annual cash incentives generally link the compensation of participants directly to the accomplishment of specific business metrics, primarily the achievement of EBITDA targets, reflecting our emphasis on financial performance and stockholder return.

        Consolidated and business unit budgets which contain annual financial and strategic objectives are developed each year by management and reviewed by the Board of Directors with such changes that are deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors. The budgets set the basis for the annual incentive plan targets and stretch measures. The annual incentive compensation plan targets and other material terms by business unit are presented to the Compensation Committee for review and approval with such modifications deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee.

        Award opportunity for the executive officers is expressed as a percentage of qualifying base salary, with an established percentage for payout based on meeting a target, and enhanced opportunity if certain stretch targets are met or to reward individual extraordinary performance or contribution, as determined by the Compensation Committee. For the last completed fiscal year, annual cash incentive opportunities for the named executive officers at target are summarized below:

 
  Target Annual Cash Incentive Award Opportunity
 
  % of Salary
  Amount
Marc L. Reisch   100 % $ 850,000
Paul B. Carousso   50 % $ 120,000
Marie D. Hlavaty   55 % $ 179,120
Michael L. Bailey   70 % $ 350,000
John Van Horn   50 % $ 185,000

        Annual incentive compensation plan awards for our named executive officers and other executives are determined annually following the completion of the annual audit, based on our performance against the approved annual incentive compensation plan targets and taking into account individual performance and contribution. The annual incentive compensation plan award amounts of all executive officers, including the named executive officers, must be reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee. Approved payments under the annual incentive plans are made not later than March 15th of the respective year.

63



        2006 Annual Incentive Compensation Plan Awards.    The actual annual incentive payments made to our named executive officers pursuant to our annual incentive compensation plan for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006 are set forth below in the Summary Compensation Table. For the last completed fiscal year, substantially all of the annual incentive plan payments to the CEO and the other named executive officers were based on the achievement of consolidated or business unit EBITDA targets. There were no specific individual performance goals for 2006 incentive awards to the named executive officers, but the Compensation Committee, as applicable, took into account individual performance, particularly as pertained to contribution to extraordinary transactions and achievements in 2006 in evaluating payment at or above target. The Compensation Committee may exercise discretion in determining awards to account for extraordinary achievement and contribution. Under the annual incentive plans, the Compensation Committee may account for adjustments to performance goals and our reported financial results. These adjustments may exclude all or a portion of both the positive or negative effect of external non-recurring events that are outside the reasonable control of our executives, including, without limitation, natural disasters, regulatory changes in accounting or taxation standards. These adjustments may also exclude all or a portion of both the positive or negative effect of unusual or significant strategic events that are within the control of our executives but that are undertaken with an expectation of improving our long-term financial performance, such as restructurings, acquisitions or divestitures.

        Other.    Our Compensation Committee reserves the right to grant bonuses from time to time based on extraordinary achievements and contribution which result in measurable and appreciable return for us and our stockholders.

        Total Compensation Comparison.    For the last completed fiscal year, annual incentive award payments accounted for approximately 56% of total compensation (base salary and bonus) for our CEO and approximately 43% of total compensation (base salary and bonus) on average for our other named executive officers.

Long-Term Equity Incentives

        General.    We offer long-term incentive opportunity to our executives to promote long-term performance and tenure by participation in an equity incentive program, through grants of stock options and restricted stock. Other types of long-term equity incentive compensation may be considered in the future as our business strategy evolves. The equity incentive plan is designed to:

    promote our long-term financial interests and growth by attracting and retaining management with the training, experience and ability to enable them to make a substantial contribution to the success of the business;

    motivate management by means of growth-related incentives to achieve long range goals; and

    further the alignment of interests of participants with those of our stockholders through opportunities for stock-based ownership of our company.

        Our Compensation Committee serves as the administrator of the equity incentive program, with the power and authority to administer, construe and interpret the equity plans, to make rules for carrying out the plans and to make changes in such rules, subject to such interpretations, rules and administration being consistent with the basic purpose of the plans. Subject to the general parameters of the plans, the Committee has the discretion to fix the terms and conditions of the grants. Equity is granted at fair market value as determined by the Compensation Committee after evaluation of a fair market valuation conducted by a third party expert on a periodic basis.

        Our named executive officers each made a personal investment in purchasing shares of the Class A Common Stock of Holdings in connection with the Transactions with his or her own personal funds (and in the case of Mr. Bailey, including the roll-over of certain existing equity in Holdings and the

64



investment of a bonus paid to Mr. Bailey in connection with the Transaction). In turn, the level of award of option grants was made as a multiple of the respective level of investment. In consideration of his services in consummating the Transactions and in connection with entering into an employment agreement with the Company, Mr. Reisch also received at the consummation of the Transactions a grant of restricted stock as a further long-term incentive opportunity. No additional equity has been awarded to the named executive officers since their original investments, other than in the case of Mr. Van Horn, who was granted restricted stock in December 2006, none of which will vest until January 2009 (subject to accelerated vesting in the event of Mr. Van Horn's termination without cause or for good reason, upon a change in control or upon Mr. Van Horn's disability or death), in order to recognize and incentivize Mr. Van Horn's continued tenure, commitment and performance for us. Mr. Van Horn had not received options at the time of the Transaction in light of what was anticipated to be a more limited period of employment with us. The Compensation Committee reserves the right to issue additional equity to the named executive officers upon the recommendation of Mr. Reisch or the Board in consideration of extraordinary performance or achievement and subject to shares remaining available for grant under the 2004 Plan. See "—Equity Compensation".

        We do not have any program, plan or obligation that requires us to grant equity compensation on specified dates, however, to the extent that additional grants have been or will be made by us to other members of management we intend to limit grants to occur twice per year. We may also issue additional equity grants to new members of management who come into our employment in connection with the consummation of acquisitions by us. For compensation decisions regarding the grant of equity compensation, our Compensation Committee typically considers the recommendations from our Chief Executive Officer, taking into consideration the potential impact and contribution of the individual, retention considerations and the level of equity of members of management at a similar level.

        Stock Options.    Stock option awards provide our executive officers with the right to purchase shares of our Class A Common Stock at a fixed exercise price for a period of up to ten years from the option grant date under the 2004 Plan and are both "performance based" and "time based". Time based options vest on the passage of time and an executive's continued tenure with us. Performance based options vest on the achievement of annual EBITDA targets. The purpose of the performance based grant is to align management and stockholder interests as measured by EBITDA performance. Options are subject to certain change of control and post-termination of employment vesting and expiration provisions. Mr. Bailey and Mr. Reisch (who also served as a director of Jostens prior to the Transactions) also hold options under the 2003 Plan. See "—Equity Compensation" for a discussion of the change in control and other provisions related to stock options under the 2004 Plan and the 2003 Plan.

        Restricted Stock.    Restricted stock is also used by us in our long-term equity incentive program as part of our management development, succession, and retention planning process. Of our executives, only Messrs. Reisch and Van Horn have been granted restricted stock. The restricted stock is generally subject to the same rights and restrictions set forth in the management stockholders' agreement and sale participation agreement described under "—Equity Compensation", provided that Mr. Reisch's restricted stock is currently 100% vested and nonforfeitable even in the case of termination of employment.

Pension Benefits

        Each of our named executive officers currently participates in the Jostens qualified pension plan D and a non-qualified supplemental pension plan to compensate for Internal Revenue Service limitations. These benefits are provided as part of the regular retirement program available to our eligible employees. We also maintain individual non-contributory unfunded supplemental retirement plans (SERPs) for certain named executive officer participants. Under our employment agreement with Marc

65



L. Reisch, he is entitled to an additional supplemental retirement benefit. For more detailed information, see the narrative accompanying the "Pension Benefits" table.

Employment Agreement, Severance Benefits and Change in Control Provisions

        Employment Agreement with Marc Reisch.    Except with respect to our CEO, Marc L. Reisch, we do not have any employment agreements in effect with any of our named executive officers. In October 2004, we entered into an employment contract with Mr. Reisch with an initial term extending to December 31, 2009, with automatic one-year renewal terms thereafter. We are highly dependent on the efforts, relationships and skills of Mr. Reisch, a long-tenured industry executive and, accordingly, we entered into this agreement with Mr. Reisch to help ensure Mr. Reisch's availability to us during the term. The employment agreement provides for certain post-termination payments and benefits to Mr. Reisch which are described and quantified in the section entitled "—Termination, Severance and Change of Control Arrangements". We provided these arrangements under the agreement to attract and retain Mr. Reisch as our CEO and believe that the post-termination payments and benefits are reasonable and consistent with the provisions and benefit levels of other companies' chief executive officers and reflective of Mr. Reisch's value and performance to us. It is generally not our philosophy or practice to enter into employment agreements with our executives. Absent exigent competitive factors, we believe that our short and long-term compensation practices and opportunities are competitively attractive and favorably motivate our executives towards performance and continuity of service.

        Jostens Executive Severance Pay Plan.    Michael Bailey is covered under the Jostens' Executive Severance Pay Plan which was implemented in 1999 and last revised in 2003. The terms of the plan and potential payments to Mr. Bailey thereunder are discussed in "—Termination, Severance and Change of Control Arrangements—Executive Severance Pay Plan". None of the other named executive officers was placed under the Executive Severance Pay Plan and the plan, as an element of our compensation structure, is a historical plan adopted prior to the Transactions.

        Change in Control under Equity Incentive Plans.    Under the 2003 Plan, upon the occurrence of a "change in control", the unvested portion of any time option will immediately become vested and exercisable, and the vesting and exercisability of the unvested portion of any performance option may accelerate if certain performance measures have been achieved. Under the 2004 Plan, upon the occurrence of a "change in control", the unvested portion of any time option will immediately become vested and exercisable, and the vesting and exercisability of the unvested portion of any performance option may accelerate if relevant performance measures have been satisfied. Our equity incentive plans are discussed in "—Equity Compensation" and change in control payments under the plans are quantified in "—Termination, Severance and Change of Control Arrangements".

Executive Benefits

        We provide the opportunity for our named executive officers and other executives to receive certain general health and welfare benefits on terms consistent with other eligible employees. We also offer participation in our defined contribution 401(k) plan with a company match on terms consistent with other eligible employees. We provide certain perquisites to the named executive officers, including car allowance, medical stipend to apply to reimburse medical expenses, periodic physicals and extended coverage under long-term disability insurance, and in the case of certain of the named executive officers, financial planning and health club stipend. We provide these benefits to offer additional incentives for our executives and to remain competitive in the general marketplace for executive talent.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

        Stock ownership guidelines have not been implemented by the Compensation Committee for our executive officers. Our stock is not publicly traded and is subject to stockholders' agreements that limit a stockholder's ability to transfer his or her equity.

Regulatory Considerations

        We account for equity compensation paid to our employees under SFAS No. 123R, which we adopted effective January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R requires us to recognize compensation expense related to all equity awards based on the fair values of the awards at the grant date. Prior to our adoption of SFAS No. 123R, we used the minimum value method in our SFAS No. 123 pro forma disclosure and therefore applied the prospective transition method as of the effective date. Under the prospective transition method, we would recognize compensation expense for equity awards granted, modified and canceled subsequent to the date of adoption. As a result of the modification to stock options made in April 2004 in connection with the special dividend paid to all Class A common stockholders, all stock option awards previously accounted for under APB No. 25 are prospectively accounted for under SFAS No. 123R. Accordingly, no incremental compensation cost was recognized as a result of the modification. Please see Note 17, Stock-based Compensation, to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

        The compensation cost to us of awarding equity is taken into account in considering awards under our equity incentive program. We have taken steps to structure and assure that our compensation program is applied in compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Bonuses paid under our annual incentive plans are taxable at the time paid to our executives.

Tax Gross-Up

        Mr. Reisch's employment agreement provides for a tax gross-up payment in the event that any amounts or benefits due to him would be subject to excise taxes under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. For more detailed information on gross-ups for excise taxes payable to Mr. Reisch, see "—Termination, Severance and Change of Control Arrangements—Employment Agreement with Marc. L. Reisch—Gross-Up Payments for Excise Taxes".


Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

        Our Compensation Committee is currently comprised of Messrs. Burgstahler (Chairman), Navab, Olson and Pieper, all of whom served on the committee in 2006. For a description of the transactions between us and entities affiliated with members of the Compensation Committee, see the transactions described in "Certain Relationships, Related Transactions and Director Independence".

The stock will vest in one installment in January 2009 subject to Mr. Van Horn's continued service. The stock is subject to accelerated vesting in the event of certain termination of employment events, namely on Mr. Van Horn's death or disability, or upon a change in control. The award was made under our 2004 Plan, which is described under "—Equity Compensation" and the accelerated vesting provisions of the stock award are further described under "—Termination, Severance, and Change of Control Arrangements—Accelerated Vesting of Restricted Stock."

(3)
The amount in this column represents the grant date fair value computed in accordance with FAS 123R. The difference between the grant date fair value used for FAS123R and the grant date fair market value of the Class A Common Stock as established pursuant to the terms of the 2004 Plan and determined by a third party valuation is that the grant day fair value for purposes of FAS 123R is calculated in accordance with GAAP and the methodology to determine the fair market value under the 2004 Plan does not give effect to any premium for control or discount for minority interests or restrictions on transfer.

Equity Compensation

        The 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2003 Plan") was approved by the Board of Directors and effective as of October 30, 2003. The 2003 Plan permits us to grant key employees and certain other persons stock options and stock awards and provides for a total of 288,023 shares of common stock for issuance of options and awards to employees of the Company and a total of 10,000 shares of common stock for issuance of options and awards to directors and other persons providing services to the Company. The maximum grant to any one person shall not exceed in the aggregate 70,400 shares. We do not currently intend to make any additional grants under the 2003 Plan. Option grants consist of "time options", which vest and become exercisable in annual installments over the first five years following the date of grant and/or "performance options", which vest and become exercisable over the first five years following the date of grant at varying levels based on the achievement of certain EBITDA targets, and in any event by the eighth anniversary of the date of grant. The performance

69



vesting includes certain carryforward provisions if targets are not achieved in a particular fiscal year and performance in a subsequent fiscal year satisfies cumulative performance targets, subject to certain conditions. Upon the occurrence of a "change in control" (as defined in the 2003 Plan), the unvested portion of any time option will immediately become vested and exercisable, and the vesting and exercisability of the unvested portion of any performance option may accelerate depending on the timing of the change of control and return on the equity investment by DLJMBP III in the Company as provided under the 2003 Plan. A "change in control" under the 2003 Plan is defined as: (1) any person or other entity (other than any of Holdings' subsidiaries), including any "person" as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, other than certain of the DLJMBP funds or affiliated parties thereof becoming the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, by way of merger, consolidation or other business combination, of securities of Holdings representing more than 51% of the total combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of Holdings (or its successor) normally entitled to vote for the election of directors of Holdings or (2) the sale of all or substantially all of the property or assets of Holdings to any unaffiliated person or entity other than one of Holdings' subsidiaries is consummated. The Transactions did not constitute a change of control under the 2003 Plan. Options issued under the 2003 Plan expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. The shares underlying the options are subject to certain transfer and other restrictions set forth in that certain Stockholders Agreement dated July 29, 2003, by and among the Company and certain holders of the capital stock of the Company. Participants under the 2003 Plan also agree to certain restrictive covenants with respect to confidential information of the Company and non-competition in connection with their receipt of options.

        All outstanding options to purchase Holdings common stock continued following the closing of the Transactions. In connection with the Transactions, all outstanding options to purchase Von Hoffmann and Arcade common stock were cancelled and extinguished. Consideration paid in respect of the Von Hoffmann options was an amount equal to the difference between the per share merger consideration in the Transactions and the exercise price therefor. No consideration was paid in respect of the Arcade options.

        In connection with the closing of the Transactions, we established the 2004 Stock Option Plan, which permits us to grant key employees and certain other persons of the Company and its subsidiaries various equity-based awards, including stock options and restricted stock. The plan, currently known as the Third Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Option Plan for Key Employees of Visant Holding Corp. and Subsidiaries (the "2004 Plan"), provides for issuance of a total of 510,230 shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock. As of December 30, 2006, there were 54,686 shares available for grant under the 2004 Plan. Shares related to grants that are forfeited, terminated, cancelled or expire unexercised become available for new grants. Under his employment agreement, as described below, Mr. Marc L. Reisch, the Chairman of our Board of Directors and our Chief Executive Officer and President, received awards of stock options and restricted stock under the 2004 Plan. Additional members of management have also received grants under the 2004 Plan. Option grants consist of "time options", which vest and become exercisable in annual installments through 2009, and/or "performance options", which vest and become exercisable following the date of grant based upon the achievement of certain EBITDA and other performance targets, and in any event by the eighth anniversary of the date of grant. The performance vesting includes certain carryforward provisions if targets are not achieved in a particular fiscal year and performance in a subsequent fiscal year satisfies cumulative performance targets. Upon the occurrence of a "change in control" (as defined under the 2004 Plan), the unvested portion of any time option will immediately become vested and exercisable, and the vesting and exercisability of the unvested portion of any performance option may accelerate if certain EBITDA or other performance measures have been satisfied. A "change in control" under the 2004 Plan is defined as: (1) the sale (in one or a series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of Holdings to an unaffiliated person; (2) a sale (in one transaction or a series of transactions) resulting in more than 50% of the voting stock of Holdings being held by an unaffiliated person; (3) a merger, consolidation,

70


recapitalization or reorganization of Holdings with or into an unaffiliated person; if and only if any such event listed in (1) through (3) above results in the inability of the Sponsors, or any member or members of the Sponsors, to designate or elect a majority of the Board (or the board of directors of the resulting entity or its parent company). The option exercise period is determined at the time of grant of the option but may not extend beyond the end of the calendar year that is ten calendar years after the date the option is granted.

        All options, restricted shares and any common stock for which such equity awards are exercised or with respect to which restrictions lapse are governed by a management stockholder's agreement and a sale participation agreement, which together generally provide for the following:

    transfer restrictions until the fifth anniversary of purchase, subject to certain exceptions;

    a right of first refusal by Holdings at any time after the fifth anniversary of purchase but prior to a registered public offering of the Class A Common Stock meeting certain specified criteria;

    in the event of termination of employment, call and put rights with respect to Holdings stock and outstanding and exercisable options;

    "piggyback" registration rights on behalf of the members of management;

    "tag-along" rights in connection with transfers by Fusion Acquisition LLC ("Fusion"), an entity controlled by investment funds affiliated with KKR, on behalf of the members of management and "drag-along" rights for Fusion and DLJMBP III; and

    a confidentiality provision and noncompetition and nonsolicitation provisions that apply for two years following termination of employment.

Employment Agreements and Arrangements

        Employment agreement with Marc L. Reisch.    In connection with the Transactions, Holdings entered into a new employment agreement with Marc L. Reisch on the following terms, under which he serves as the Chairman of our Board of Directors (the "Board") and our Chief Executive Officer and President.

        Mr. Reisch's employment agreement has an initial term of five years and automatically extends for additional one-year periods at the end of the initial term and each renewal term, subject to earlier termination of his employment by either Mr. Reisch or by us pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Mr. Reisch's agreement provides for the payment of an annual base salary of not less than $850,000, subject to annual review and increase by our Board, plus an annual cash bonus opportunity between zero and 150% of annual base salary, with a target bonus of 100% of annual base salary (of which no less than 67% is to be based on certain EBITDA targets to be achieved). For 2007, Mr. Reisch will be entitled to receive an annual base salary of $950,000.

        Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Reisch was paid a cash signing bonus of $600,000, the after-tax proceeds of which were reinvested as part of his initial equity participation. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Reisch invested $3,500,000 in cash to purchase Holdings Class A Common Stock, and we granted him an option to purchase 3.5 shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock for every one share of the $3,500,000 in value of Holdings Class A Common Stock initially purchased by him. Under his stock option agreement, we granted Mr. Reisch options to purchase a total of 127,466 shares of Holdings stock, consisting of options to purchase 56,449 shares subject to time-based vesting (the "time options") and options to purchase 71,017 shares subject to performance-based vesting (the "performance options"). The time options became vested and exercisable with respect to 9,104 of the shares on December 31, 2004. The time options, with respect to the remaining 47,345 shares, vest in five annual installments commencing on December 31, 2005 as to the following percentages: 25%, 25%, 25%, 15% and 10%. As of December 30, 2006, a total of 32,776 shares were vested under the time

71



options. The performance options will vest on a cliff basis on December 31, 2012, subject to acceleration based on the achievement of certain EBITDA targets. As of December 30, 2006, a total of 35,508 shares were vested under the performance options. Additionally, under a restricted stock award agreement, we made a one-time grant of 10,405 shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock, which stock is 100% vested and nonforfeitable by Mr. Reisch, subject to the same rights and restrictions set forth in the management stockholder's agreement and the sale participation agreement described under "—Equity Compensation", other than Holdings' call rights in the event of termination of employment.

        The employment agreement also provides for the Company's payment of all premiums on a life insurance policy having a death benefit equal to $10.0 million that will be payable to such beneficiaries designated by Mr. Reisch. Mr. Reisch will be subject to noncompetition and nonsolicitation restrictions during the term of the employment agreement and for a period of two years following Mr. Reisch's termination of employment. The employment agreement also includes a provision relating to non-disclosure of confidential information. In addition, the agreement provides for a retirement benefit, described in the narrative following the Pension Benefits table below. The agreement allows for certain payments and benefits upon termination, death, disability and a change in control as described in "—Termination, Severance and Change of Control Arrangements-Employment Agreement with Marc L. Reisch."

        Employment arrangements with Michael L. Bailey.    Michael L. Bailey, who serves as an employee at will with Jostens under the terms of an offer letter, joined Jostens in 1978 and has held a variety of leadership positions, being elected by the Board of Directors of Jostens to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of Jostens effective as of July 20, 2004 in connection with the commencement of the Transactions. In exchange for his services, Mr. Bailey will be compensated at a base salary of $550,000 during 2007, a bonus based on targets as determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors and perquisites commensurate with his position and consistent with the Jostens' policies for perquisites for its chief executive officer and certain other officers. In the event that Mr. Bailey is terminated for cause, there is no provision for salary continuation past the date of termination. In the event that Mr. Bailey is terminated without cause, he is entitled to receive severance payments and other perquisites commensurate with his position pursuant to the Jostens Executive Severance Pay Plan, as in effect from time to time. The terms of the plan and potential payments to Mr. Bailey thereunder are discussed under "—Termination, Severance and Change of Control Arrangements—Executive Severance Pay Plan".

There is no established public trading market for the Holdings Class A Common Stock and, therefore, the exercise prices listed in this column represent the fair market value of a share of the Holdings Class A Common Stock, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, as of the grant date of the option (in each case the original option exercise price was adjusted in April 2006 in connection with the special dividend paid on Holdings Class A Common Stock).

(8)
The stock will vest in one installment on January 15, 2009, subject to Mr. Van Horn's continued service. The stock is subject to accelerated vesting in the event of certain termination of employment events, namely upon Mr. Van Horn's death or disability or upon a change in control, which is described under "—Termination, Severance and Change of Control Arrangements-Accelerated Vesting of Restricted Stock."

(9)
There is no established public trading market for the Holdings Class A Common Stock. For purposes of this table, the market value of shares that have not vested is calculated based on the fair market value of Holdings Class A Common Stock of $130.45 per share as of December 30, 2006, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors under the 2004 Plan.

(1)
Mr. Bailey is a grandfathered participant in Plan D based on his age and years of service with Jostens as of December 30, 2006 (see the explanation of the grandfathered benefit below). Messrs. Reisch, Carousso, Van Horn and Ms. Hlavaty participate in Plan D but not as grandfathered participants.

(2)
The present value of accumulated benefits is determined using the assumptions disclosed in Note 16, Benefit Plans, to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

(3)
Under the Jostens ERISA Excess Plan, Mr. Bailey has an additional credit under Plan D for 6.5 years of sales service to Jostens.

        Jostens maintains a tax-qualified, non-contributory pension plan, Pension Plan D ("Plan D"), which provides benefits for certain salaried employees. Jostens also maintains an unfunded supplemental retirement plan (the "Jostens ERISA Excess Plan") that gives additional credit for years of service as a Jostens' sales representative to those salespersons who were hired as employees of Jostens prior to October 1, 1991, calculating the benefits as if such years of service were credited under Plan D. Benefits specified in Plan D may exceed the level of benefits that may be paid from a tax-qualified plan under the Internal Revenue Code. The Jostens ERISA Excess Plan also pays benefits that would have been provided from Plan D but cannot because they exceed the level of benefits that may be paid from a tax-qualified plan under the Code.

        For Plan D and the Jostens ERISA Excess Plan:

    Normal retirement age is 65 with at least five years of service, while early retirement is allowed at age 55 with at least ten years of service. Employees who retire prior to age 65 are subject to an early retirement factor adjustment based on their age at benefit commencement. The reduction is 7.8% for each year between ages 62 and 65 and 4.2% for each year between 55 and 62.

    The vesting period is five years or attainment of age 65.

    The formula to determine retirement income benefits prior to January 1, 2006 (the grandfathered benefit), was based on a participant's highest average annual cash compensation (W-2 earnings, excluding certain long term incentives and certain taxable allowances such as moving allowance) during any five consecutive calendar years, years of credited service (to a maximum of 35 years) and the Social Security covered compensation table in effect as of retirement. The grandfathered benefit formula is 0.85% of average annual salary up to Social Security covered compensation plus 1.50% of average annual salary in excess of Social Security covered compensation times years of benefit service (up to 35 maximum). Only those employees age 45 and over with more than 15 years of service as of December 31, 2005 are entitled to the grandfathered benefit.

74


    Effective January 1, 2006, the formula to determine an employee's retirement income benefits for future service under the plan changed for employees under age 45 with less than 15 years of service as of December 31, 2005 (non-grandfathered participants). Benefits earned prior to January 1, 2006 are retained, only benefits earned for future years are calculated under the revised formula. The formula for benefits earned after January 1, 2006 for the non-grandfathered participants is based on 1 percent of a participant's cash compensation (W-2 compensation) for each year or partial year of benefit service beginning January 1, 2006.

    For employees age 45 and over with 15 or more years of service as of December 31, 2005 (grandfathered participants), the formula to determine an employee's retirement income benefit is the greater of the formula in effect prior to 2006 or the combined pre and post 2006 benefit described in the immediately preceding paragraph.

    The methods of payments upon retirement include, but are not limited to, life annuity, 50% or 100% joint and survivor annuity and life annuity with ten year certain.

    There is a cap on the maximum annual salary that can be used to calculate the benefit accrual allowable under Plan D. Additional salary over the cap is used to calculate the accrued benefit under the Jostens ERISA Excess Plan. No more than $220,000 of salary could be recognized in 2006 under Plan D and this limitation will increase periodically as established by the IRS.

        We also maintain non-contributory unfunded supplemental pension plans (SERPs) for certain named executive officers. Participants who retire after age 60 with at least seven full calendar years of service as an executive officer (as defined under the SERP) are eligible for a benefit equal to 1% of final base salary in effect at age 60 for each full calendar year of service, up to a maximum of 30 years. The result of the calculation is divided by 12 to arrive at a monthly benefit payment. Only service after age 30 is recognized under the SERP. The calculation of benefits is frozen at the levels reached at age 60. If the employee's employment is terminated for any reason other than death or total disability after reaching age 55 and completing seven years of service as an executive officer, but before reaching age 60, the employee shall be entitled to an early retirement benefit in equal monthly installments equal to 1% of the employee's base salary in effect at termination, multiplied by the employee's years of service. In the event of a change in control, a participant is deemed to have completed at least seven years of service as an executive officer. Also under the SERP, if an employee dies at any time before satisfying the age and service requirements for receiving a benefit under the SERP, the employee's beneficiary will receive a lump sum payment equal to twice the employee's base salary in effect at the time of death or earlier if there was a termination due to total disability (as defined in the SERP). If an employee has completed seven years of service and is terminated by reason of total disability prior to reaching age 55, the period of the employee's total disability will count as years of services until that employee attains age 55 (unless the employee recovers from the disability). There are certain restrictive covenant provisions given under the SERPs. Under the SERPs, "a change in control" is defined as any of the following:

    the sale, lease, exchange or other transfer, directly or indirectly, of all or substantially all of the assets of the participant's employer, in one transaction or in a series of related transactions;

    the approval by the stockholders of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution;

    any person is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of (1) 20% or more, but not more than 50%, of the combined voting power of the employer's outstanding securities ordinarily having the right to vote at elections of directors, unless the transaction resulting in such ownership has been approved in advance by the continuing directors, or (2) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the employer's outstanding securities ordinarily having the right to vote at elections of directors;

75


    a merger or consolidation to which the employer is a party if the stockholders of the employer immediately prior to the effective date of such merger or consolidation have, solely on account of ownership of securities of the employer at such time, beneficial ownership immediately following the effective date of such merger or consolidation of securities of the surviving corporation representing (1) 50% or more, but not more than 80%, of the combined voting power of the surviving corporation's then outstanding securities ordinarily having the right to vote at elections of directors, unless such merger or consolidation has been approved in advance by the continuing directors, or (2) less than 50% of the combined voting power of the surviving corporation's then outstanding securities ordinarily having the right to vote at elections of directors; or

    the continuity directors cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the board of directors.

        For purposes of the SERPs, the named executive officer's "employer" is Holdings, other than Mr. Bailey, for which it is Jostens, Inc.

        Under the terms of our employment agreement with Marc L. Reisch, if Mr. Reisch's employment terminates for any reason after December 31, 2009, he is entitled to a retirement benefit supplemental to those benefits payable under our qualified and nonqualified retirement plans, which constitutes an annual lifetime retirement benefit commencing on the later of the date of his employment termination for any reason or the date he achieves age 60. The benefit is equal to, generally, 10% of the average of Mr. Reisch's (1) base salary and (2) annual bonuses payable over the five fiscal years ended prior to his termination, plus 2% of such average compensation (prorated for any partial years) earned for each additional year of service accruing after December 31, 2009, less benefits paid under the other retirement plans. The vesting of this benefit would accelerate upon a "change in control" of the Company, upon Mr. Reisch's death or disability, or after the third anniversary of October 4, 2004, upon termination of Mr. Reisch's employment by us without cause, or by his resignation for good reason (including if we do not renew the employment agreement). Also, under the employment agreement, at such time as Mr. Reisch vests in the foregoing retirement benefit, Mr. Reisch and his eligible dependents will be eligible for welfare benefits which are equivalent to the then current programs offered to active salaried employees. Coverage ends after the earlier of age 65 or the date on which he becomes eligible for comparable coverage from a subsequent employer, and in the case Mr. Reisch has vested in the retirement benefit explained above or on account of his death, his then spouse is entitled to receive the post-retirement medical benefits until the date on which Mr. Reisch would, but for his death, have attained age 65.

        Under the agreement, a "change in control" means:

    the sale of all or substantially all of our assets other than to KKR or DLJMBP III or any of their affiliates;

    a sale by KKR and DLJMBP III or their affiliates resulting in more than 50% of the voting stock of the Company being held by a "person" or "group" (as such terms are used in the Exchange Act) that does not include KKR or DLJMBP III or their affiliates, if the sale results in the inability of KKR and DLJMBP III and certain of their affiliates to elect a majority of the members of our board of directors or the board of directors of the resulting entity; or

    a merger or consolidation of us into another person which is not an affiliate of either of KKR and DLJMBP III, if the merger or consolidation results in the inability of KKR or DLJMBP III and certain of their affiliates to elect a majority of the members of our board of directors or the board of directors of the resulting entity.

(1)
Mr. Dean resigned from our Board effective January 16, 2007. In connection with his resignation, Mr. Dean's unvested options were cancelled in accordance with their terms.

(2)
Mr. Fisher receives an annual fee of $50,000, in cash, for serving on our Board. Mr. Fisher's services as a director, as opposed to that of our other non-executive directors, are not incidental to his employment by our Sponsors.

(3)
As of December 30, 2006, each director had options to purchase 3,122 shares of Holdings' Class A Common Stock outstanding. The options granted to our directors were vested and exercisable as to the following number of shares of Holdings' Class A Common Stock: each of Messrs. Burgstahler, Dean, Navab, Olson and Pieper—2,081 shares; and Mr. Fisher—1,041 shares, as of December 30, 2006. Also, Mr. Joseph Bae, who served as a director until November 2005, has a vested option for 1,041 shares of Holdings' Class A Common Stock.

        Under the 2004 Plan, our directors are eligible to receive stock option grants at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. On March 18, 2005, in consideration of their service as directors, we granted to each of our non-executive directors at the time, options to purchase 3,122 shares of the Class A Common Stock of Holdings. These options vest over three years, with one-third vesting as of the last day of each of fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007, subject to becoming immediately exercisable as to 100% of the shares subject to the options immediately prior to a change in control (as defined in the 2004 Plan). The options expire following the tenth anniversary of the grant date. The options are not exercisable as to any additional shares following the termination of the service of the director for any reason, and any portion of the option which is unexercisable as of such date is terminated and cancelled without payment therefor. These options are generally subject to the other terms of the equity incentive program applicable to other participants, including certain restrictions on transfer and sale. These options were granted at fair market value of $96.10401 per share (as determined by the Compensation Committee) on the grant date (the exercise price was reduced in connection with the dividend paid by Holdings to its stockholders on April 4, 2006, to $39.07 per share). Mr. Fisher was granted options to purchase 3,122 shares of Holdings' Class A Common Stock upon becoming a director as of November 2, 2005. Mr. Fisher's options vest over three years, with one-third vesting as of

77


the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. These options were granted at a fair market value of $96.10401 per share (as determined by the Compensation Committee) on the grant date (the exercise price was reduced in connection with the dividend paid by Holdings to its stockholders on April 4, 2006, to $39.07 per share). The terms of Mr. Fisher's options are otherwise the same as the other directors' options. Mr. Fisher was also given the opportunity to make an equity investment in Holdings upon becoming a director. Mr. Fisher purchased 3,122 shares of Holdings' Class A Common Stock at a price of $96.10401 per share. These shares are subject to the terms of a stockholders' agreement and sale participation agreement substantially the same as with equity participants. These shares are currently held by the JBW Irrevocable Trust over which Mr. Fisher exercises no investment or voting control.


Termination, Severance and Change of Control Arrangements

Employment Agreement with Marc L. Reisch

        Termination by us for cause or by Mr. Reisch without good reason.    Under the employment agreement between us and Mr. Reisch, termination for "cause" requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members of our Board (or such higher percentage or procedures required under the 2004 Stockholders Agreement) and may be based on any of the following:

    Mr. Reisch's willful and continued failure to perform his material duties which continues beyond ten days after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Mr. Reisch by us;

    the willful or intentional engaging in conduct that causes material and demonstrable injury, monetarily or otherwise, to us or KKR and DLJMBP III or their affiliates;

    the commission of a crime constituting a felony under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; or

    a material breach by Mr. Reisch of the employment agreement, the management stockholder's agreement, the sale participation agreement, or the stock option agreement or restricted stock award agreement entered into in connection with the employment agreement, including, engaging in any action in breach of restrictive covenants contained in the employment agreement, which continues beyond ten days after a written demand to cure the breach is delivered by us to Mr. Reisch (to the extent that, in our Board's reasonable judgment, the breach can be cured).

        Under the employment agreement between us and Mr. Reisch, Mr. Reisch is required to provide 60 days advance written notice of any termination of his employment by him for good reason. "Good reason" means:

    a reduction in Mr. Reisch's rate of base salary or annual incentive compensation opportunity (other than a general reduction in base salary or annual incentive compensation opportunities that affect all members of our senior management equally, which general reduction will only be implemented by our Board after consultation with Mr. Reisch);

    a material reduction in Mr. Reisch's duties and responsibilities, an adverse change in Mr. Reisch's titles of chairman and chief executive officer or the assignment to Mr. Reisch of duties or responsibilities materially inconsistent with such titles; however, none of the foregoing will be deemed to occur by virtue of the removal of Mr. Reisch from the position of chairman of the board following the completion of a public offering of the Holdings Class A Common Stock meeting certain specified criteria; or

    a transfer of Mr. Reisch's primary workplace by more than 50 miles outside of Armonk, New York.

78


        If Mr. Reisch's employment were terminated by us for cause or by Mr. Reisch without good reason, he would be entitled to receive a lump sum payment, which includes the amount of any earned but unpaid base salary, earned but unpaid annual bonus for a previously completed fiscal year, and accrued and unpaid vacation pay as well as reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses, all as of the date of termination. In addition, Mr. Reisch would receive the supplemental retirement benefit described in the narrative following the Pension Benefits table (if termination occurs after December 31, 2009) and the transfer of the life insurance policy described under "—Employment Agreements and Arrangements—Employment Agreement with Marc L. Reisch" such that Mr. Reisch may assume the policy at his own expense. Also, Mr. Reisch would receive any employee benefits that he may be entitled to under the applicable welfare benefit plans, fringe benefit plans and qualified and nonqualified retirement plans then in effect upon termination of employment.

        Termination by us without Cause or by Mr. Reisch for Good Reason.    The employment agreement also provides that if Mr. Reisch is terminated by us without Cause (which includes our nonrenewal of the agreement for any additional one-year period, as described above but excludes death or disability) or if he resigns for Good Reason, he will be entitled to receive, in addition to the amounts and benefits described above in connection with a termination by us for cause or by Mr. Reisch without good reason:

    (1) a lump sum payment equal to the prorated bonus for the year of termination, and (2) an amount equal to two times the sum of (a) Mr. Reisch's then annual base salary plus (b) his target bonus for the year of termination, payable in 24 equal monthly installments; and

    continued participation in welfare benefit plans until the earlier of two years after the date of termination or the date that Mr. Reisch becomes covered by a similar plan maintained by any subsequent employer, or cash in an amount that allows him to purchase equivalent coverage for the same period.

        Disability or Death.    In the event that Mr. Reisch's employment is terminated due to his death or disability (defined in the employment agreement as being unable to perform his duties due to physical or mental incapacity for six consecutive months or nine months in any consecutive 18 month period), Mr. Reisch (or his estate, as the case may be) will be entitled to receive, in addition to the amounts described above in connection with a termination by us for cause or by Mr. Reisch without good reason, a lump sum payment equal to the prorated portion of the annual bonus Mr. Reisch would have been entitled to receive for the year of termination.

        Supplemental Retirement Benefit.    The vesting of the supplemental retirement benefit granted to Mr. Reisch under his employment agreement upon certain change in control, termination or resignation events is described under "—Employment Agreements and Arrangements—Employment Agreement with Marc L. Reisch".

        Additional Post-Termination Medical Benefits.    At the time the supplemental retirement benefit described above vests, Mr. Reisch and his dependents would be provided with medical benefits, on the same terms as would have applied had Mr. Reisch continued to be employed by us, until the earlier of (1) the date on which Mr. Reisch attains age 65 or (2) Mr. Reisch becomes eligible to receive comparable coverage from a subsequent employer. If vesting in the supplemental retirement benefit were to occur on account of death, then Mr. Reisch's then-spouse would be entitled to receive the post-retirement medical benefits until the date on which Mr. Reisch would, but for his death, have attained age 65.

        Gross-Up Payments for Excise Taxes.    Under the terms of the employment agreement, if it is determined that any payment, benefit or distribution to or for the benefit of Mr. Reisch would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code by reason of being "contingent on a change in ownership or control" of his employer within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, or

79



any interest or penalties are incurred by Mr. Reisch with respect to the excise tax, then Mr. Reisch would be entitled to receive an additional payment or payments, or a "gross-up payment". The gross-up payment would be equal to an amount such that after payment by Mr. Reisch of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed relating to such taxes), Mr. Reisch would retain an amount equal to the excise tax (including any interest and penalties) imposed.

        Acceleration of Options Upon Change in Control.    In the event of a change in control of the Company, the vesting of Mr. Reisch's time options will accelerate in full and the vesting of his performance options may accelerate if specified performance targets have been achieved.

        Post-termination Payments.    The information below is provided to disclose hypothetical payments to Marc L. Reisch under various termination scenarios, assuming, in each situation, that Mr. Reisch was terminated on December 30, 2006 (and excluding any amounts accrued as of the date of termination).

No additional options would be vested as of termination. Vested options will terminate without payment.

(4)
Assumes the $10 million life insurance policy is transferred to Mr. Reisch, future premiums to be paid by Mr. Reisch.

(5)
Total amount equals two times the sum of Mr. Reisch's annual base salary as of December 30, 2006 plus his target bonus for the year of termination, payable in 24 equal monthly installments.

(6)
Payable as a lump sum.

(7)
No additional options would be vested as of termination; vested options will be subject to call and repurchase by us, at our option, at the excess of fair market value of Holdings Class A Common Stock over the exercise price.

(8)
Mr. Reisch's employment agreement requires that we continue his welfare benefits for 24 months unless he becomes eligible for coverage under comparable benefit plans from any subsequent employer. The table reflects the 2007 monthly premium payable by us for medical, dental and vision benefits in which Mr. Reisch and his dependents participated at December 30, 2006, multiplied by 24 months.

(9)
Mr. Reisch would be entitled to an additional payment (a gross-up) in the event it shall be determined that any payment, benefit or distribution (or combination thereof) by us for his benefit (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of our employment agreement with Mr. Reisch, or otherwise pursuant to or by reason of any other agreement, policy, plan, program or arrangement, including without limitation any stock option, restricted stock, or the lapse or termination of any restriction on the vesting or exercisability of any of the foregoing) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code by reason of being "contingent on a change in ownership or control" of us, within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by Mr. Reisch with respect to the excise tax.

80


    The payment would be in an amount such that after payment by Mr. Reisch of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to those taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and the excise tax imposed upon the gross-up available to cause the imposition of such taxes to be avoided. Mr. Reisch retains an amount equal to the excise tax (including any interest and penalties) imposed. However, there may be certain statutory exemptions based on our being a privately held Company that would avoid the imposition of the excise tax.

(10)
Value calculated is the gain based on $130.45 per share (the fair market value of a share of Holdings Class A Common Stock, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, as of December 30, 2006) net of exercise prices. Assumes accelerated vesting of all performance options.

(11)
No additional options would be vested as of termination for death or disability, vested options will be subject to call and repurchase by us, at our option, at the excess of fair market value of Holdings Class A Common Stock over exercise price, or at the option of Mr. Reisch or his estate, subject to put to us at the same spread.

(12)
The SERP provides a pre-retirement death benefit such that if an employee dies at any time before satisfying the age and service requirements for receiving a pension benefit, the employee's beneficiary will receive a lump sum payment equal to twice the employee's base salary in effect at the time of death.

Executive Severance Pay Plan

        In 1999, Jostens implemented the Jostens' Executive Severance Pay Plan, which was amended effective February 2003 and entitled the Jostens, Inc. Executive Severance Pay Plan—2003 Revision (the "Executive Severance Plan"). The plan is unfunded. The primary purpose of the Executive Severance Plan is to provide severance benefits for the chief executive officer of Jostens and other executive members of Jostens management as expressly identified under the Executive Severance Plan, whose employment is terminated pursuant to a qualifying termination or resignation, which includes (1) termination of employment by Jostens other than for poor or unsatisfactory job performance or misconduct, (2) a termination of employment by the employee due to a material reduction in title, duties or responsibilities, a reduction in base pay, a change in office more than 30 miles form the employee's prior location, or the failure to obtain the assent of any successor to the Executive Severance Plan to or for the period required by the terms of the plan. A qualifying termination does not include termination of employment by reason of death, retirement, the employee's acceptance of another position with Jostens or if the employee becomes an employee of an acquirer of Jostens. To be eligible for benefits under the Executive Severance Plan, the employee must execute a release of claims against Jostens (unless Jostens elects otherwise). Eligibility for continuation of payments and benefits under the Executive Severance Plan is also subject to participants complying with certain confidentiality provisions and other restrictive covenants during the severance period.

        An eligible employee will receive a cash severance benefit in an aggregate amount equal to nine months to 30 months of the participant's base salary, based on the employee's position with Jostens, with the chief executive officer being eligible for the highest amount. The cash amount is paid periodically on the same basis as the employee's base pay had been paid. Participants under the Executive Severance Plan are also eligible to receive a pro-rated portion of the annual incentive award to which they would have otherwise earned based on the period of time during the year in which they were employed, provided that the participant's termination date is after the fourth month of the fiscal year in which the termination event occurs. The pro-rated annual incentive award is payable at the same time it would have been paid had the employee remained in the employ of Jostens. Subject to compliance with applicable law, Jostens reserves the right under the Executive Severance Plan to pay any of the cash amounts in a lump sum payment.

81


        In addition, during the period of time over which the participant receives his or her continued payment of base salary, participants are eligible to receive reimbursement for COBRA premiums under Jostens' group medical, dental, vision and life plans, for the amount in excess of the premiums paid by similarly situated active employees. The Executive Severance Plan also provides for a tax gross-up payment if a participant incurs a tax liability in connection with the COBRA reimbursement benefit. Also, participants are eligible for continuation of their perquisites during the period of time over which the participant receives his or her continued payment of base salary. The plan provides, however, that if the employee becomes otherwise engaged or employed during the severance period that payments and benefits are subject to reduction or termination. The payments and benefits are also subject to suspension in the event of a violation of the restrictive covenants.

        Mr. Bailey is the only named executive officer that is eligible to participate in the Executive Severance Plan. If Mr. Bailey's employment had been terminated on December 30, 2006 due to qualifying termination or resignation, he would have been entitled to the following under the Executive Severance Plan:

    an aggregate cash severance amount of $1,250,000, payable periodically on the same basis as his base pay had been paid;

    his full annual incentive award for 2006 equal to $350,000 (assuming payment at target);

    the aggregate amount of the reimbursement relating to Jostens' group medical, dental, vision and life insurance plans, estimated to be $38,559, assuming the monthly premium is the same as the 2007 monthly premium for such coverage throughout the benefit continuation period of 30 months; and

    the estimated cost of $41,690 for continuing Mr. Bailey's perquisites for the 30 month severance period, assuming the cost for such perquisites remains the same as applicable on December 30, 2006.

Additional Pension Plan Benefits

        The information below is provided to disclose hypothetical payments to Messrs. Carousso and Bailey and Ms. Hlavaty under various termination scenarios, assuming, in each situation, that each named executive officer was terminated on December 30, 2006. The information for Mr. Reisch is set forth in the table entitled "Post-Termination Payments—Marc L. Reisch".

Represents the increase in the actuarial present value of accumulated benefits under Plan D and the Jostens Excess ERISA Plan over the aggregate actuarial present value of accumulated benefits reported in the Pension Benefits table due to the value of early retirement subsidies (determined using the assumptions disclosed in Note 16, Benefit Plans, to our Consolidated Financial Statements).

(2)
Represents the net increase in the actuarial present value of accumulated benefits under Plan D, the Jostens Excess ERISA Plan and the SERP over the aggregate actuarial present value of accumulated benefits reported in the Pension Benefits table (determined using the assumptions disclosed in Note 16, Benefit Plans, to our consolidated financial statements).

Accelerated Vesting of Restricted Stock

        John Van Horn holds 3,000 shares of restricted stock that would vest upon a termination by us without cause, a termination by Mr. Van Horn with good reason, upon a change in control (as defined under the 2004 Plan) or upon Mr. Van Horn's disability or death. As of December 30, 2006, none of the shares of restricted stock was vested. If one of the foregoing events had occurred on December 30, 2006, Mr. Van Horn would have become fully vested in the stock with a value of $391,350, based on the fair market value of the stock on such date of $130.45 per share. Under the restricted stock award agreement between us and Mr. Van Horn, "Good reason" means a reduction in Mr. Van Horn's base salary (other than a general reduction in base salary that affects all members of our senior management in substantially the same proportion, provided that Mr. Van Horn's base salary is not reduced by more than 10%), a material reduction in Mr. Van Horn's duties and responsibilities or a transfer of Mr. Van Horn's primary workplace by more than fifty miles outside his current workplace. Also under the restricted stock award agreement, termination for "cause" is defined as any of the following:

    Mr. Van Horn's willful and continued failure to perform his material duties which continues beyond ten days after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered by us;

    the willful or intentional engaging in conduct that causes material and demonstrable injury, monetarily or otherwise, to us or KKR and DLJMBP III and their affiliates;

    the commission of a crime constituting a felony under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; or

    a material breach by Mr. Van Horn of the restricted stock award agreement, or any other agreement, including engaging in any action in breach of restrictive covenants, which continues beyond ten days after a written demand to cure the breach is delivered by us (to the extent that, in our Board's reasonable judgment, the breach can be cured).

Acceleration of Options upon Change in Control

        Messrs. Carousso and Bailey and Ms. Hlavaty hold time options that would immediately become vested and exercisable, and performance options which may accelerate if certain EBITDA or other performance measures have been satisfied, all upon a change in control. See "—Equity Compensation". Assuming a change in control were to have taken place on December 30, 2006, the following individuals would be entitled to the payments with respect to their options in the amounts set forth opposite their names:

 
  Value of Accelerated
Equity Awards(1)

Paul B. Carousso   $ 427,933
Marie D. Hlavaty   $ 855,774
Michael L. Bailey   $ 1,664,121

Value calculated is the gain based on $130.45 per share (the fair market value of a share of Holdings Class A Common Stock, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, as of December 30, 2006) net of exercise prices. Assumes vesting of all performance options.

        The value of accelerated equity awards for Marc L. Reisch is included in the table entitled "Post-Termination Payments—Marc L. Reisch."

The amounts and percentages of our common stock beneficially owned are reported on the basis of regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under the rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if that person has or shares "voting power", which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or "investment power", which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of such securities as to which such person has an economic interest.

    a right of each of the Investor Entities to designate a certain number of directors to our board of directors for so long as they hold a certain amount of our common stock. Of the eight members of our board of directors, KKR and DLJMBP III each has the right to designate four of our directors (currently three KKR and two DLJMBP III designees serve on our board) with our Chief Executive Officer and President, Marc L. Reisch, as chairman;

    certain limitations on transfer of our common stock held by the Investor Entities for a period of four years after the completion of the Transactions, after which, if we have not completed an initial public offering, any Investor Entity wishing to sell any of our common stock held by it must first offer to sell such stock to us and the other Investor Entities, provided that, if we complete an initial public offering during the four years after the completion of the Transactions, any Investor Entity may sell pursuant to its registration rights as described below;

    a consent right for the Investor Entities with respect to certain corporate actions;

    the ability of the Investor Entities to "tag-along" their shares of our common stock to sales by any other Investor Entity, and the ability of the Investor Entities to "drag-along" our common stock held by the other Investor Entities under certain circumstances;

    the right of the Investor Entities to purchase a pro rata portion of all or any part of any new securities offered by us; and

Capstone Consulting received $0 in 2006 and $2.1 million during 2005 for the services provided by them. Although neither KKR nor any entity affiliated with KKR owns any of the equity of Capstone Consulting, KKR has provided financing to Capstone Consulting.

Employment arrangements with John R. DePaul

        Von Hoffmann entered into an employment agreement with John R. DePaul effective with the acquisition of Lehigh by Von Hoffmann in October 2003. This agreement was amended in March 2005 following the acquisition of Von Hoffmann by Visant. Pursuant to that agreement, Mr. DePaul will serve in an executive position until the expiration of the agreement in December 2008, or the earlier termination by either us or Mr. DePaul. In exchange for his services, Mr. DePaul is compensated with a base salary of $330,000 and is entitled to participate in such annual bonus program in which other similar executives of Von Hoffmann are eligible to participate, at such level as determined by the Board annually. In the event that Mr. DePaul is terminated by us for cause, he will be entitled to his base salary through the date of his termination, but will not be entitled to any additional compensation. If Mr. DePaul is terminated without cause, he is entitled to receive salary continuation for 12 months in an aggregate amount equal to $330,000 and continuation of health benefits for up to 12 months. The employment agreement also includes certain restrictive covenants, including a confidentiality provision and non-competition and non-solicitation provisions prohibiting Mr. DePaul from engaging in competition with us or soliciting employees for a period of one year from the termination of his employment.

Historical

Jostens

        Lease Agreements.    Jostens entered into an aircraft lease agreement with us, pursuant to which Jostens paid us an aggregate of $449,400 per year for use of a Citation CJ2 aircraft owned by us. Jostens also entered into a time-sharing agreement with each of DLJMBP III, Inc. and Robert C. Buhrmaster, Jostens' former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, entitling each to sublease the Citation CJ2 from Jostens at a rate equal to twice Jostens' cost of fuel plus incidentals. The time-sharing agreement with DLJMBP III, Inc. was terminated in connection with the Transactions. We consummated the sale of the Citation CJ2 in late December 2004. In connection with this sale, the lease agreement with Jostens was terminated. Under the terms of Mr. Buhrmaster's separation agreement, he will be entitled to use other Jostens aircraft on the terms provided in the time-sharing agreement and his separation agreement. KA Rentals, an entity wholly owned by Mr. Buhrmaster, agreed to make the aircraft that it owns available to Jostens for lease when Jostens' principal aircraft was not available. Jostens paid KA Rentals an aggregate of $18,558 during 2004 for use of the aircraft under this lease arrangement. We believe that the lease arrangement with KA Rentals was on terms at least as favorable to Jostens as could have been obtained from an unaffiliated third party. The aircraft lease agreement with KA Rentals has been terminated.

Such affiliate of DLJMBP II subsequently sold this promissory note to Von Hoffmann Corporation. The promissory note was secured by a total of 200,000 shares of common stock of Von Hoffmann. This arrangement was negotiated on an arm's length basis. This arrangement was terminated in connection with the Transactions.

        Other.    On November 21, 2003, Von Hoffmann Corporation entered into an agreement to engage CSFB to act as its exclusive financial advisor with respect to a potential sale of Lehigh Direct.

Review and Approval of Transactions with Related Parties

        Under its responsibilities set forth in its charter, our Audit Committee reviews and approves all related party transactions, as required by applicable law, rules or regulations and otherwise to the extent it deems necessary or appropriate. The 2004 Stockholders Agreement also requires the consent of the stockholders party thereto to certain related party transactions.

        Under our Code of Conduct, we require the disclosure by employees of situations or transactions that reasonably would be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest. Any such situation or transaction should be avoided unless specifically approved. The Code also provides that conflicts of interest may be waived for our directors, executive officers or other principal financial officers only by our Board of Directors or an appropriate committee of the Board.

Director Independence

        We are not a listed issuer under the rules of the SEC. For purposes of disclosure under Item 407(a) of Regulation S-K, we use the definition of independence under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. Under such definition, none of the members of our Board of Directors would be considered independent.

DESCRIPTION OF OTHER INDEBTEDNESS

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

        On October 4, 2004, in connection with the Transactions, Visant entered into a Credit Agreement among Visant, as Borrower, Jostens, Ltd., as Canadian borrower, Visant Secondary Holdings, as Guarantor, the lenders from time to time parties thereto, Credit Suisse (formerly known as Credit Suisse First Boston), as Administrative Agent, and Credit Suisse Toronto Branch (formerly known as Credit Suisse First Boston Toronto Branch), as Canadian Administrative Agent, providing for senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate amount of $1,270 million, originally consisting of $150 million of a Term Loan A facility, an $870 million Term Loan B facility and a $250 million revolving credit facility.

        On December 21, 2004, Visant entered into the First Amendment (the "First Amendment") to the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 4, 2004. The First Amendment provided for an $870 million Term Loan C facility, the proceeds of which were used to repay in full the outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan B facility. Visant effectively reduced the interest rate on its borrowings by 25 basis points by refinancing the Term Loan B facility with a new Term Loan C facility and did not incur any additional borrowings under the First Amendment.

        For the year ended December 30, 2006, Visant voluntarily prepaid $100.0 million of scheduled payments under the term loans in its senior secured credit facilities, including all originally scheduled principal payments due under the Term Loan C through most of 2011. Amounts borrowed under the term loan facilities that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. As of December 30, 2006, there was $16.7 million outstanding in the form of letters of credit, leaving $233.3 million available under the $250 million revolving credit facility.

        Visant's senior secured credit facilities allow us, subject to certain conditions, to incur additional term loans under the Term Loan C facility, or under a new term facility, in either case in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300 million, which additional term loans will have the same security and guarantees as the Term Loan C facility.

Security and guarantees

        Visant's obligations under the senior secured credit facilities are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed jointly and severally by Visant Secondary Holdings Corp. and by Visant's material current and future domestic subsidiaries. The obligations of Visant's principal Canadian operating subsidiary under the senior secured credit facilities are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed jointly and severally by Visant Secondary Holdings Corp., by Visant, by Visant's material current and future domestic subsidiaries and by Visant's other current and future Canadian subsidiaries.

        Visant's obligations under the senior secured credit facilities, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of Visant's assets and substantially all of the assets of Visant Secondary Holdings Corp. and Visant's material current and future domestic subsidiaries, including but not limited to:

    all of Visant's capital stock and the capital stock of each of Visant's existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries, except that with respect to foreign subsidiaries such lien and pledge is limited to 65% of the capital stock of "first-tier" foreign subsidiaries; and

    substantially all of Visant's material existing and future domestic subsidiaries' tangible and intangible assets.

91



substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of Jostens Canada Ltd. and each of Visant's other current and future Canadian subsidiaries.

Interest rates and fees

        Borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities bear interest as follows:

    Revolving Credit Facility: at our option, at either adjusted LIBOR plus 2.50% per annum or the alternate base rate plus 1.50% (or, in the case of Canadian dollar denominated loans, the bankers' acceptance discount rate plus 2.50% or the Canadian prime rate plus 1.50% per annum), such applicable margins to be subject to reduction if we attain certain leverage ratios; and

    Term Loan C Facility: at our option, at either adjusted LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum or the alternate base rate plus 1.25% per annum, such applicable margins to be subject to reduction if we attain certain leverage ratios.

        The senior secured credit facilities also provide for the payment to the lenders of a commitment fee on average daily undrawn commitments under the revolving credit facility at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum. After delivery of financial statements to the lenders for the period ending at least one full fiscal quarter following the closing date, such commitment fee will be subject to reduction if we attain certain leverage ratios.

Scheduled amortization payments and mandatory prepayments

        The Term Loan C facility provides for semi-annual amortization payments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1% of the original principal amount thereof during the first 63/4 years, with the balance of the facility to be repaid at final maturity.

        In addition, the senior secured credit facilities require us to prepay outstanding term loans, subject to certain exceptions, with:

    100% of the net proceeds of certain asset sales, casualty events or other dispositions (including certain sale/leaseback transactions);

    50% of our annual "excess cash flow", subject to reductions to a lower percentage if we achieve certain leverage ratios; and

    100% of the net proceeds of certain debt issuances.

Voluntary prepayments

        The senior secured credit facilities permit voluntary prepayments of the loans and voluntary reductions of the unutilized portion of the commitments thereunder, without premium or penalty (except as noted below), subject to certain conditions pertaining to minimum notice and minimum payment /reduction amounts and to customary brokerage costs with respect to LIBOR rate loans.

Covenants

        Visant's senior secured credit facilities contain the following financial, affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants in the senior secured credit facilities include limitations (each of which is subject to customary exceptions) on Visant's ability and the ability of Visant Secondary Holdings Corp. and each of Visant's current and future restricted subsidiaries to:

    incur liens;

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

General

        The outstanding notes were issued under an indenture (the "Indenture"), dated as of October 4, 2004, among Visant Corporation, as Issuer, certain of the Issuer's direct and indirect Domestic Subsidiaries existing on the Issue Date, as Guarantors (the "Guarantors"), and The Bank of New York, as Trustee. Copies of the form of the Indenture may be obtained from the Issuer upon request. The terms of the notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. The following summary of the material provisions of the Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Indenture, including the definitions therein of certain terms used below. The definitions of certain terms used in the following summary are set forth below under "Certain Definitions." We urge you to read the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement because they, not this description, define your rights as holders of the notes. For purposes of this "Description of the Notes",

    the terms "Issuer," "we" and "our" refer only to Visant Corporation, and not to any of its Subsidiaries or parent companies;

    the term "Guarantor" refers to each Restricted Subsidiary that Guarantees the notes; and

    the term "notes" refers to the outstanding notes.

        The notes:

    are unsecured senior subordinated obligations of the Issuer;

    are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer;

    are senior in right of payment to any future Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer;

    are guaranteed by each Guarantor; and

    are subject to registration with the SEC pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

Guarantees

        The Guarantors, as primary obligors and not merely as sureties, jointly and severally irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee, on a senior subordinated basis, the performance and full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture and the notes, whether for payment of principal of or interest on or Special Interest in respect of the notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise, on the terms set forth in the Indenture by executing the Indenture. As of the date of the Indenture, all Restricted Subsidiaries that are Domestic Subsidiaries and guarantee the Senior Credit Facilities were Guarantors. Each of the Guarantees will be a general unsecured obligation of the relevant Guarantor and will be subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor, other than any Subordinated Indebtedness. The notes are structurally subordinated to Indebtedness of Subsidiaries of

95



the Issuer that do not Guarantee the notes. As of the Issue Date, each of the Issuer's Subsidiaries is a Restricted Subsidiary and each such Subsidiary, other than the following Subsidiaries, is a Guarantor:

Jostens Canada, Ltd.   Canada
Jostens International Holding B.V.   The Netherlands
Jostens Can Investments B.V.   The Netherlands
C.V. Jostens Global Trading Limited Partnership   The Netherlands

        The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent that Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Indebtedness and the Notes—Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void the guarantees, subordinate claims in respect of the guarantees and require note holders to return payments received from the guarantors".

        Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee will be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under the Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor's pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

        If a Guarantee was rendered voidable, it could be subordinated by a court to all other indebtedness (including guarantees and other contingent liabilities) of the applicable Guarantor, and, depending on the amount of such indebtedness, a Guarantor's liability on its Guarantee could be reduced to zero. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Indebtedness and the Notes—Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void the guarantees, subordinate claims in respect of the guarantees and require note holders to return payments received from the guarantors".

        Any Guarantee by a Restricted Subsidiary of the notes shall provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon:

        (i)    (a) any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger or otherwise) of all of the Issuer's Capital Stock in such Guarantor (including any sale, exchange or transfer following which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary) or all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor, which sale, exchange or transfer is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture,

        (b)    the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary which resulted in the creation of such Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee,

        (c)    if the Issuer properly designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, or

        (d)    exercise of the legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option as described under "Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance" or if our obligations under the Indenture are discharged in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; and

96



        (ii)    such Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with.

Ranking

Senior Indebtedness versus Notes

        The payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes and the payment of any Guarantee is subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, including the obligations of the Issuer and such Guarantor under the Senior Credit Facilities.

        As of December 30, 2006:

        (1)    the Issuer's Senior Indebtedness was approximately $716.5 million, consisting entirely of secured Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities; and

        (2)    the Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantors was approximately $716.5 million, consisting entirely of their respective guarantees of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer under the Senior Credit Facilities.

        Although the Indenture contains limitations on the amount of additional Indebtedness that the Issuer and the Guarantors may incur, under certain circumstances the amount of such Indebtedness could be substantial and, in any case, such Indebtedness may be Senior Indebtedness. See "Certain Covenants—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock".

Liabilities of Subsidiaries versus Notes

        All of our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries. Some of our subsidiaries are not Guaranteeing the notes, and, as described above under "Guarantees", Guarantees may be released under certain circumstances. In addition, our future subsidiaries may not be required to Guarantee the notes. Claims of creditors of any non-guarantor Subsidiaries, including trade creditors and creditors holding indebtedness or Guarantees issued by such non-guarantor Subsidiaries, and claims of preferred stockholders of such non-guarantor Subsidiaries generally will have priority with respect to the assets and earnings of such non-guarantor Subsidiaries over the claims of our creditors, including holders of the notes, even if such claims do not constitute Senior Indebtedness. Accordingly, the notes will be effectively subordinated to creditors (including trade creditors) and preferred stockholders, if any, of such non-guarantor Subsidiaries.

        As of December 30, 2006, the total liabilities of our subsidiaries (other than the Guarantors) were approximately $24.7 million, including trade payables, but excluding intercompany obligations, of our non-guarantor subsidiaries. Although the Indenture limits the incurrence of Indebtedness and preferred stock by certain of our subsidiaries, such limitation is subject to a number of significant exceptions and qualifications and the Indebtedness incurred in compliance with the covenants could be substantial. Moreover, the Indenture does not impose any limitation on the incurrence by such subsidiaries of liabilities that are not considered Indebtedness under the Indenture. See "Certain Covenants—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock".

Other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness versus Notes

        Only Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Guarantor that is Senior Indebtedness will rank senior to the notes and the relevant Guarantee in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. The notes and each Guarantee will in all respects rank pari passu with all other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer and the relevant Guarantor, respectively.

97



        We and the Guarantors have agreed in the Indenture that we and they will not incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to our Senior Indebtedness or the Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantors, unless such Indebtedness is Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of the applicable Person or is expressly subordinated in right of payment to Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of such Person. The Indenture does not treat (1) unsecured Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured or (2) Senior Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to any other Senior Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral.

Payment of Notes

        We are not permitted to pay principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the notes or make any deposit pursuant to the provisions described under "Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance" or "Satisfaction and Discharge" below and may not purchase, redeem or otherwise retire any notes (collectively, "pay the notes") (except in the form of Permitted Junior Securities) if either of the following occurs (a "Payment Default"):

        (1)    any Obligation on any Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer is not paid in full in cash when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace period); or

        (2)    any other default on Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer occurs and the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with its terms;

unless, in either case, the Payment Default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or such Designated Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash. Regardless of the foregoing, we are permitted to pay the notes if we and the Trustee receive written notice approving such payment from the Representatives of all Designated Senior Indebtedness with respect to which the Payment Default has occurred and is continuing.

        During the continuance of any default (other than a Payment Default) with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated without further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods, we are not permitted to pay the notes (except in the form of Permitted Junior Securities) for a period (a "Payment Blockage Period") commencing upon the receipt by the Trustee (with a copy to us) of written notice (a "Blockage Notice") of such default from the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness specifying an election to effect a Payment Blockage Period and ending 179 days thereafter. The Payment Blockage Period will end earlier if such Payment Blockage Period is terminated:

        (1)    by written notice to the Trustee and us from the Person or Persons who gave such Blockage Notice;

        (2)    because the default giving rise to such Blockage Notice is cured, waived or otherwise no longer continuing; or

        (3)    because such Designated Senior Indebtedness has been discharged or repaid in full in cash.

        Notwithstanding the provisions described above, unless the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness have accelerated the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, we are permitted to resume paying the notes after the end of such Payment Blockage Period. The notes shall not be subject to more than one Payment Blockage Period in any consecutive 365-day period irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to Designated Senior Indebtedness during such period; provided that if any Payment Blockage Notice is delivered to the Trustee by or on behalf of the holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer (other than the holders of Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities), a Representative of holders

98



of Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities may give another Payment Blockage Notice within such period. However, in no event may the total number of days during which any Payment Blockage Period or Periods on the notes is in effect exceed 179 days in the aggregate during any consecutive 365-day period, and there must be at least 186 days during any consecutive 365-day period during which no Payment Blockage Period is in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no Default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Blockage Notice to the Trustee will be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Blockage Notice.

        Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of the Issuer upon a total or partial liquidation or dissolution or reorganization of or similar proceeding relating to the Issuer or its property:

        (1)    the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer will be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of such Senior Indebtedness before the holders of the notes are entitled to receive any payment;

        (2)    until the Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer is paid in full in cash, any payment or distribution to which holders of the notes would be entitled but for the subordination provisions of the Indenture will be made to holders of such Senior Indebtedness as their interests may appear, except that holders of notes may receive Permitted Junior Securities; and

        (3)    if a distribution is made to holders of the notes that, due to the subordination provisions, should not have been made to them, such holders of the notes are required to hold it in trust for the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer and pay it over to them as their interests may appear.

        The subordination and payment blockage provisions described above will not prevent a Default from occurring under the Indenture upon the failure of the Issuer to pay interest or principal with respect to the notes when due by their terms. If payment of the notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Issuer or the Trustee must promptly notify the holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness or the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness of the acceleration.

        A Guarantor's obligations under its Guarantee are senior subordinated obligations. As such, the rights of Holders to receive payment by a Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee will be subordinated in right of payment to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor. The terms of the subordination and payment blockage provisions described above with respect to the Issuer's obligations under the notes apply equally to a Guarantor and the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee.

        By reason of the subordination provisions contained in the Indenture, in the event of a liquidation or insolvency proceeding, creditors of the Issuer or a Guarantor who are holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, may recover more, ratably, than the holders of the notes, and creditors of ours who are not holders of Senior Indebtedness may recover less, ratably, than holders of Senior Indebtedness and may recover more, ratably, than the holders of the notes.

        The terms of the subordination provisions described above will not apply to payments from money or the proceeds of U.S. Government Obligations held in trust by the Trustee for the payment of principal of and interest on the notes pursuant to the provisions described under "Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance" or "Satisfaction and Discharge", if the foregoing subordination provisions were not violated at the time the applicable amounts were deposited in trust pursuant to such provisions.

Principal, Maturity and Interest

        The Issuer issued $500.0 million of notes in the offering. The notes mature on October 1, 2012. The Issuer may issue additional notes from time to time after this offering under the Indenture ("Additional Notes"). Any offering of Additional Notes is subject to the covenant described below

99



under the caption "Certain Covenants—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock". The outstanding notes and any Additional Notes subsequently issued under the Indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to "notes" for all purposes of the Indenture and this "Description of the Notes" include any Additional Notes that are actually issued.

        Interest on the notes accrues at the rate of 7?% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 commencing on April 1, 2005, to Holders of record on the immediately preceding March 15 and September 15. Interest on the notes accrues from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance of the notes. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes is payable at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose within the City and State of New York or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to notes represented by one or more global notes registered in the name of or held by The Depository Trust Company or its nominee will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder or Holders thereof. Until otherwise designated by the Issuer, the Issuer's office or agency in New York will be the office of the trustee maintained for such purpose. The notes will be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

Mandatory Redemption; Offers to Purchase; Open Market Purchases

        We are not required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the notes. However, under certain circumstances, we may be required to offer to purchase notes as described under the caption "Repurchase at the Option of Holders". We may at any time and from time to time purchase notes in the open market or otherwise.

Optional Redemption

        At any time prior to October 1, 2008 the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder's registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, to the date of redemption (the "Redemption Date "), subject to the rights of Holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

        On and after October 1, 2008, the Issuer may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice by first class mail, postage prepaid, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the security register at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and Special Interest, if any, to the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on October 1 of each of the years indicated below:

Year

  Percentage
 
2008   103.813 %
2009   101.906 %
2010 and thereafter   100.000 %

100


        In addition, until October 1, 2007, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of notes issued under the Indenture at a redemption price equal to 107.625% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and Special Interest, if any, to the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer to the extent such net cash proceeds are contributed to the Issuer; provided that at least 65% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of notes originally issued under the Indenture and any Additional Notes issued under the Indenture after the Issue Date remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption; provided further that each such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of closing of each such Equity Offering.

        The Trustee shall select the notes to be purchased in the manner described under "Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales—Selection and Notice".

Book-Entry, Delivery and Form

        The notes are represented by one or more global notes in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the "Global Notes"). The Global Notes were initially deposited upon issuance with the Trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), in New York, New York, and registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, in each case for credit to an account of a direct or indirect participant as described below.

        Except as set forth below, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes may not be exchanged for notes in certificated form except in the limited circumstances described below. See "Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes". In addition, transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC and its direct or indirect participants, which may change from time to time.

        The notes may be presented for registration of transfer and exchange at the offices of the registrar.

Depository Procedures

        The following description of the operations and procedures of DTC is provided solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement systems and are subject to changes by them. We take no responsibility for these operations and procedures and urge investors to contact the system or their participants directly to discuss these matters.

        DTC has advised us that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities for its participating organizations (collectively, the "participants") and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities between participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its participants. The participants include securities brokers and dealers (including the initial purchasers), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC's system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly (collectively, the "indirect participants"). Persons who are not participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the participants or the indirect participants. The ownership interests in, and transfers of ownership interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the participants and indirect participants.

101



        DTC has also advised us that, pursuant to procedures established by it:

        (1)    upon deposit of the Global Notes, DTC will credit the accounts of participants designated by the initial purchasers with portions of the principal amount of the Global Notes; and

        (2)    ownership of these interests in the Global Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership of these interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to the participants) or by the participants and the indirect participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes).

        Investors in the Global Notes who are participants in DTC's system may hold their interests therein directly through DTC. Investors in the Global Notes who are not participants may hold their interests therein indirectly through organizations which are participants in such system. All interests in a Global Note may be subject to the procedures and requirements of DTC. The laws of some states require that certain Persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities that they own. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Note to such Persons will be limited to that extent. Because DTC can act only on behalf of participants, which in turn act on behalf of indirect participants, the ability of a Person having beneficial interests in a Global Note to pledge such interests to Persons that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interests, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such interests.

        Except as described below, owners of an interest in the Global Notes will not have notes registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery of notes in certificated form and will not be considered the registered owners or "holders" thereof under the Indenture for any purpose.

        Payments in respect of the principal of, and interest and premium and additional interest, if any, on a Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be payable to DTC in its capacity as the registered holder under the Indenture. Under the terms of the Indenture, the Issuer and the Trustee will treat the Persons in whose names the notes, including the Global Notes, are registered as the owners of the notes for the purpose of receiving payments and for all other purposes. Consequently, neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for:

        (1)    any aspect of DTC's records or any participant's or indirect participant's records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC's records or any participant's or indirect participant's records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes; or

        (2)    any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its participants or indirect participants.

        DTC has advised us that its current practice, upon receipt of any payment in respect of securities such as the notes (including principal and interest), is to credit the accounts of the relevant participants with the payment on the payment date unless DTC has reason to believe it will not receive payment on such payment date. Each relevant participant is credited with an amount proportionate to its beneficial ownership of an interest in the principal amount of the relevant security as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by the participants and the indirect participants to the beneficial owners of notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of the participants or the indirect participants and will not be the responsibility of DTC, the Trustee or the Issuer. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC or any of its participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the notes, and the Issuer and the Trustee may conclusively rely on and will be protected in relying on instructions from DTC or its nominee for all purposes.

        Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected in accordance with DTC's procedures, and will be settled in same-day funds.

102



        DTC has advised the Issuer that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of notes only at the direction of one or more participants to whose account DTC has credited the interests in the Global Notes and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the notes as to which such participant or participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an Event of Default under the notes, DTC reserves the right to exchange the Global Notes for legended notes in certificated form, and to distribute such notes to its participants.

        Although DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Notes among participants, it is under no obligation to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued or changed at any time. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any of their respective agents will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes

        A Global Note is exchangeable for definitive notes in registered certificated form ("Certificated Notes") if:

        (1)    DTC (A) notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes or (B) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in each case, a successor depositary is not appointed;

        (2)    the Issuer, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of the Certificated Notes; or

        (3)    there has occurred and is continuing a Default with respect to the notes.

        In addition, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be exchanged for Certificated Notes upon prior written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of DTC in accordance with the Indenture. In all cases, Certificated Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests in Global Notes will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures).

Exchange of Certificated Notes for Global Notes

        Certificated Notes may not be exchanged for beneficial interests in any Global Note unless the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (in the form provided in the Indenture) to the effect that such transfer will comply with the appropriate transfer restrictions applicable to such Notes.

Same Day Settlement and Payment

        The Issuer will make payments in respect of the notes represented by the Global Notes (including principal, premium, if any, interest and additional interest, if any) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Global Note holder. The Issuer will make all payments of principal, interest and premium and additional interest, if any, with respect to Certificated Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the holders of the Certificated Notes or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to each such holder's registered address. The notes represented by the Global Notes are eligible to trade in the PORTALsm market and to trade in DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System, and any permitted secondary market trading activity in such notes will, therefore, be required by DTC to be settled in immediately available funds. The Issuer expects that secondary trading in any Certificated Notes will also be settled in immediately available funds.

103



Repurchase at the Option of Holders

Change of Control

        If a Change of Control occurs, the Issuer will make an offer to purchase all of the notes pursuant to the offer described below (the "Change of Control Offer") at a price in cash (the "Change of Control Payment") equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, to the date of purchase, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will send notice of such Change of Control Offer by first class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the security register with a copy to the Trustee, with the following information:

        (1)    a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to the covenant entitled "Change of Control," and that all notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment;

        (2)    the purchase price and the purchase date, which will be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the "Change of Control Payment Date");

        (3)    any note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest;

        (4)    unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date;

        (5)    Holders electing to have any notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the notes, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the notes completed, to the paying agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third business day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

        (6)    Holders will be entitled to withdraw their tendered notes and their election to require the Issuer to purchase such notes, provided that the paying agent receives, not later than the close of business on the last day of the Offer Period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder of the notes, the principal amount of notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his tendered notes and his election to have such notes purchased; and

        (7)    that Holders whose notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof.

        While the notes are in global form and the Issuer makes an offer to purchase all of the notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, a Holder may exercise its option to elect for the purchase of the notes through the facilities of DTC, subject to its rules and regulations.

        The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in the Indenture by virtue thereof.

        On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent permitted by law,

        (1)    accept for payment all notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer,

104



        (2)    deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Payment in respect of all notes or portions thereof so tendered and

        (3)    deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation the notes so accepted together with an Officers' Certificate stating that such notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Issuer.

        The Senior Credit Facilities limit, and future credit agreements or other agreements relating to Senior Indebtedness to which the Issuer becomes a party may prohibit or limit, the Issuer from purchasing any notes as a result of a Change of Control. In the event a Change of Control occurs at a time when the Issuer is prohibited from purchasing the notes, the Issuer could seek the consent of its lenders to permit the purchase of the notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition. If the Issuer does not obtain such consent or repay such borrowings, the Issuer will remain prohibited from purchasing the notes. In such case, the Issuer's failure to purchase tendered notes would constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture. If, as a result thereof, a default occurs with respect to any Senior Indebtedness, the subordination provisions in the Indenture would restrict payments to the Holders under certain circumstances.

        The Senior Credit Facilities provide that certain change of control events with respect to the Issuer would constitute a default thereunder (including a Change of Control under the Indenture). If we experience a change of control that triggers a default under our Senior Credit Facilities, we could seek a waiver of such default or seek to refinance our Senior Credit Facilities. In the event we do not obtain such a waiver or refinance the Senior Credit Facilities, such default could result in amounts outstanding under our Senior Credit Facilities being declared due and payable. Our ability to pay cash to the Holders of notes following the occurrence of a Change of Control may be limited by our then existing financial resources. Therefore, sufficient funds may not be available when necessary to make any required repurchases.

        The paying agent will promptly mail to each Holder of the notes the Change of Control Payment for such notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail to each Holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the notes surrendered, if any, provided, that each such new note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

        The Change of Control purchase feature of the notes may in certain circumstances make more difficult or discourage a sale or takeover of the Issuer and, thus, the removal of incumbent management. The Change of Control purchase feature is a result of negotiations between the Issuer and the Initial Purchasers. We have no present intention to engage in a transaction involving a Change of Control, although it is possible that we could decide to do so in the future. Subject to the limitations discussed below, we could, in the future, enter into certain transactions, including acquisitions, refinancings or other recapitalizations, that would not constitute a Change of Control under the Indenture, but that could increase the amount of indebtedness outstanding at such time or otherwise affect our capital structure or credit ratings. Restrictions on our ability to incur additional Indebtedness are contained in the covenants described under "Certain Covenants—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock" and "Liens". Such restrictions can be waived only with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes then outstanding. Except for the limitations contained in such covenants, however, the Indenture will not contain any covenants or provisions that may afford holders of the notes protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction.

        We will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer

105



made by us and purchases all notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

        The definition of "Change of Control" includes a disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer to any Person. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all", there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, in certain circumstances there may be a degree of uncertainty as to whether a particular transaction would involve a disposition of "all or substantially all" of the assets of the Issuer. As a result, it may be unclear as to whether a Change of Control has occurred and whether a Holder of notes may require the Issuer to make an offer to repurchase the notes as described above.

        The provisions under the Indenture relative to our obligation to make an offer to repurchase the notes as a result of a Change of Control may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes.

Asset Sales

        The Indenture provides that the Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, cause, make or suffer to exist an Asset Sale, unless

        (1)    the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Issuer) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of and

        (2)    except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of

        (a)    any liabilities (as shown on the Issuer's, or such Restricted Subsidiary's, most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto) of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the notes, that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and for which the Issuer and all Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing,

        (b)    any securities received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale and

        (c)    any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (c) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $100.0 million and (y) 5% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Noncash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value,

        shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision and for no other purpose.

        Within 365 days after the Issuer's or any Restricted Subsidiary's receipt of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale

        (1)    to permanently reduce

        (x)    Obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities, and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto,

106



        (y)    Obligations under other Senior Indebtedness (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto) or Senior Subordinated Indebtedness, provided that if the Issuer shall so reduce Obligations under Senior Subordinated Indebtedness, it will equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the notes if the notes are then prepayable or, if the notes may not then be prepaid, the Issuer shall make an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase their notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the amount of notes that would otherwise be prepaid, or

        (z)    Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary which is not a Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary (but only to the extent such Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale are from an Asset Sale of or affecting such Restricted Subsidiary which is not a Guarantor),

        (2)    to an investment in (a) any one or more businesses, provided that such investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (b) capital expenditures or (c) acquisitions of other assets, in each of (a), (b) and (c), used or useful in a Similar Business, or

        (3)    to an investment in (a) any one or more businesses, provided that such investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (b) properties or (c) other assets that, in each of (a), (b) and (c) replace the businesses, properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale;

provided, that in the case of clauses (2) and (3) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment (an "Acceptable Commitment") and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later canceled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are so applied, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment within nine months of such cancelation or termination.

        Any Net Proceeds from the Asset Sale that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in the first sentence of the preceding paragraph will be deemed to constitute "Excess Proceeds". When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to all Holders of the notes, and, if required by the terms of any Indebtedness that is pari passu with the notes ("Pari Passu Indebtedness"), to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness (an "Asset Sale Offer"), to purchase the maximum principal amount of notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness, that is an integral multiple of $1,000 that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. The Issuer will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten business days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million by mailing the notice required pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. To the extent that the aggregate amount of notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants contained in the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of notes or the Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of the notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

107



        Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds pursuant to this covenant, the Issuer or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by the Indenture.

        The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in the Indenture by virtue thereof.

        The Senior Credit Facilities limit, and future credit agreements or other agreements relating to Senior Indebtedness to which the Issuer becomes a party may prohibit or limit, the Issuer from purchasing any notes pursuant to this Asset Sales covenant. In the event the Issuer is prohibited from purchasing the notes, the Issuer could seek the consent of its lenders to the purchase of the notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition. If the Issuer does not obtain such consent or repay such borrowings, it will remain prohibited from purchasing the notes. In such case, the Issuer's failure to purchase tendered notes would constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture. If, as a result thereof, a default occurs with respect to any Senior Indebtedness, the subordination provisions in the Indenture would restrict payments to the Holders of the notes under certain circumstances.

Selection and Notice

        If less than all of the notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness are to be redeemed at any time, selection of such notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable; provided that no notes of $1,000 or less shall be purchased or redeemed in part.

        Notices of purchase or redemption shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the purchase or redemption date to each Holder of notes to be purchased or redeemed at such Holder's registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. If any note is to be purchased or redeemed in part only, any notice of purchase or redemption that relates to such note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be purchased or redeemed.

        A new note in principal amount equal to the unpurchased or unredeemed portion of any note purchased or redeemed in part will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original note. On and after the purchase or redemption date, unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the purchase or redemption price, interest shall cease to accrue on notes or portions thereof purchased or called for redemption.

Certain Covenants

        Set forth below are summaries of certain covenants contained in the Indenture. During any period of time that: (1) the notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies and (2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (1) and (2) being collectively referred to as a "Covenant Suspension Event"), the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the following provisions of the Indenture:

        (1)    "—Limitation on Restricted Payments";

        (2)    "—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock";

108



        (3)    "—Transactions with Affiliates";

        (4)    "—Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries";

        (5)    "—Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries";

        (6)    "—Limitations on Other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness";

        (7)    "Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales"; and

        (8)    clause (4) of the first paragraph of "Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets"

(collectively, the "Suspended Covenants"). Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Excess Proceeds from Net Proceeds shall be set at zero. In addition, the Guarantees of the Guarantors will also be suspended as of such date (the "Suspension Date"). In the event that the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the "Reversion Date ") one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraws its Investment Grade Rating or downgrades the rating assigned to the notes below an Investment Grade Rating or a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events and the Guarantees will be reinstated. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to in this description as the "Suspension Period". Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (or upon termination of the Suspension Period or after that time based solely on events that occurred during the Suspension Period).

        On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to the first paragraph of "—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock" below or one of the clauses set forth in the second paragraph of "—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock" below (in each case, to the extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock would be permitted to be incurred or issued thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness incurred or issued prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock would not be so permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to the first or second paragraph of "—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock", such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under clause (c) of the second paragraph of "—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock". Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under "—Limitation on Restricted Payments" will be made as though the covenant described under "—Limitation on Restricted Payments" had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of "—Limitation on Restricted Payments".

Limitation on Restricted Payments

        The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly:

        (1)    declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on account of the Issuer's or any Restricted Subsidiary's Equity Interests, including any dividend or distribution payable in connection with any merger or consolidation other than

        (A)    dividends or distributions by the Issuer payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer or in options, warrants or other rights to purchase such Equity Interests or

109



        (B)    dividends or distributions by a Restricted Subsidiary so long as, in the case of any dividend or distribution payable on or in respect of any class or series of securities issued by a Subsidiary other than a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary receives at least its pro rata share of such dividend or distribution in accordance with its Equity Interests in such class or series of securities;

        (2)    purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer, including in connection with any merger or consolidation;

        (3)    make any principal payment on, or redeem, repurchase, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value in each case, prior to any scheduled repayment, sinking fund payment or maturity, any Subordinated Indebtedness, other than

        (A)    Indebtedness permitted under clauses (g) and (h) of the covenant described under "—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock" or

        (B)    the purchase, repurchase or other acquisition of Subordinated Indebtedness purchased in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of purchase, repurchase or acquisition; or

        (4)    make any Restricted Investment;

(all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as "Restricted Payments"), unless, at the time of such Restricted Payment:

        (a)    no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof;

        (b)    immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, the Issuer could incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under the provisions of the first paragraph of the covenant described under "—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock"; and

        (c)    such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date (including Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (1), (2) (with respect to the payment of dividends on Refunding Capital Stock pursuant to clause (b) thereof only), (5), (6)(A) and (C) and (9) of the next succeeding paragraph, but excluding all other Restricted Payments permitted by the next succeeding paragraph), is less than:

        (1)    50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Issuer for the period (taken as one accounting period) from the beginning of the first fiscal quarter commencing after the Issue Date, to the end of the Issuer's most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment, or, in the case such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit, plus

        (2)    100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds and the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the board of directors, of marketable securities or other property received by the Issuer since immediately after the Issue Date (other than net cash proceeds to the extent such net cash proceeds have been used to incur Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock pursuant to clause (l) of the second paragraph of "—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock") from the issue or sale of

        (x)    Equity Interests of the Issuer, including Retired Capital Stock (as defined below), but excluding cash proceeds and the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Issuer, of marketable securities or other property received from the sale of

        (A)    Equity Interests to members of management, directors or consultants of the Issuer, any direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer and the Issuer's Subsidiaries after the Issue Date to the

110



extent such amounts have been applied to Restricted Payments made in accordance with clause (4) of the next succeeding paragraph and

        (B)    Designated Preferred Stock

        and to the extent actually contributed to the Issuer, Equity Interests of the Issuer's direct or indirect parent companies (excluding contributions of the proceeds from the sale of Designated Preferred Stock of such corporations or contributions to the extent such amounts have been applied to Restricted Payments made in accordance with clause (4) of the next succeeding paragraph) or

        (y)    debt securities of the Issuer that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests of the Issuer;

        provided, however, that this clause (2) shall not include the proceeds from (a) Refunding Capital Stock (as defined below), (b) Equity Interests or converted debt securities of the Issuer sold to a Restricted Subsidiary or the Issuer, as the case may be, (c) Disqualified Stock or debt securities that have been converted into Disqualified Stock or (d) Excluded Contributions, plus

        (3)    100% of the aggregate amount of cash and the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Issuer, of marketable securities or other property contributed to the capital of the Issuer following the Issue Date (other than net cash proceeds to the extent such net cash proceeds have been used to incur Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock pursuant to clause (l) of the second paragraph of "—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock") (other than by a Restricted Subsidiary and other than by any Excluded Contributions), plus

        (4)    to the extent not already included in Consolidated Net Income, 100% of the aggregate amount received in cash and the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Issuer, of marketable securities or other property received by means of

        (A)    the sale or other disposition (other than to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) of Restricted Investments made by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries and repurchases and redemptions of such Restricted Investments from the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries and repayments of loans or advances which constitute Restricted Investments by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries or

        (B)    the sale (other than to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) of the stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary or a distribution from an Unrestricted Subsidiary (other than in each case to the extent the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary was made by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to clauses (7) or (10) of the next succeeding paragraph or to the extent such Investment constituted a Permitted Investment) or a dividend from an Unrestricted Subsidiary plus

        (5)    in the case of the redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, the fair market value of the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary, as determined by the board of directors of the Issuer in good faith or if, in the case of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such fair market value may exceed $25.0 million, in writing by an independent investment banking firm of nationally recognized standing, at the time of the redesignation of such Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary to the extent the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary was made by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to clauses (7) or (10) of the next succeeding paragraph or to the extent such Investment constituted a Permitted Investment.

        The foregoing provisions will not prohibit:

        (1)    subject to clauses (16) and (17) below, the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at the date of declaration such payment would have complied with the provisions of the Indenture;

and provided further that cancellation of Indebtedness owing to the Issuer from members of management of the Issuer, any of its direct or indirect parent companies or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with a repurchase of Equity Interests of the Issuer or any of its direct or indirect parent companies will not be deemed to constitute a Restricted Payment for purposes of this covenant or any other provision of the Indenture;

        (5)    the declaration and payment of dividends to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary issued in accordance with the covenant described under "—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock" to the extent such dividends are included in the definition of Fixed Charges;

        (C)    customary salary, bonus and other benefits payable to officers and employees of any direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer to the extent such salaries, bonuses and other benefits are attributable to the ownership or operation of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries, and

provided, however, that at the time of, and after giving effect to, any Restricted Payment permitted under clauses (5), (6), (11), (16) and (17), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof.

114



        As of the time of issuance of the notes, all of the Issuer's Subsidiaries were Restricted Subsidiaries. The Issuer will not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of "Unrestricted Subsidiary". For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments in an amount determined as set forth in the last sentence of the definition of "Investment." Such designation will be permitted only if a Restricted Payment in such amount would be permitted at such time, whether pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant or under clauses (7), (10) or (11) of the second paragraph of this covenant, or pursuant to the definition of "Permitted Investments," and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to any of the restrictive covenants set forth in the Indenture.

Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock

        The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise (collectively, "incur" and collectively, an "incurrence ") with respect to any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) and the Issuer will not issue any shares of Disqualified Stock and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any shares of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock; provided, however, that the Issuer may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) or issue shares of Disqualified Stock, and any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), issue shares of Disqualified Stock and issue shares of preferred stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Issuer's and the Restricted Subsidiaries' most recently ended four fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or preferred stock is issued would have been at least 2.00 to 1.00, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred, or the Disqualified Stock or preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, and the application of proceeds therefrom had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period; provided that the amount of Indebtedness (other than Acquired Indebtedness), Disqualified Stock and preferred stock that may be incurred pursuant to the foregoing by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors of the notes shall not exceed $100.0 million at any one time outstanding.

        The foregoing limitations will not apply to:

        (a)    the incurrence of Indebtedness under Credit Facilities by the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers' acceptances thereunder (with letters of credit and bankers' acceptances being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the face amount thereof), up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,420.0 million outstanding at any one time; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of Indebtedness incurred by Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Guarantors) pursuant to this clause (a) may not exceed $200.0 million outstanding at any one time;

115



Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock and preferred stock then outstanding and incurred pursuant to this clause (d) and including all Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock and preferred stock incurred pursuant to this clause (d), does not exceed the greater of (x) $120.0 million and (y) 5.00% of Total Assets;

        (e)    Indebtedness incurred by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary constituting reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit issued in the ordinary course of business, including letters of credit in respect of workers' compensation claims, or other Indebtedness with respect to reimbursement type obligations regarding workers' compensation claims; provided, however, that upon the drawing of such letters of credit or the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such obligations are reimbursed within 30 days following such drawing or incurrence;

        (f)    Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition of any business, assets or a Subsidiary, other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or a Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition; provided, however, that

        (1)    such Indebtedness is not reflected on the balance sheet of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (contingent obligations referred to in a footnote to financial statements and not otherwise reflected on the balance sheet will not be deemed to be reflected on such balance sheet for purposes of this clause (f)(1)) and

        (2)    the maximum assumable liability in respect of all such Indebtedness shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds including noncash proceeds (the fair market value of such noncash proceeds being measured at the time received and without giving effect to any subsequent changes in value) actually received by the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition;

        (g)    Indebtedness of the Issuer to a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that any such Indebtedness owing to a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor is subordinated in right of payment to the notes; provided further that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event which results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent transfer of any such Indebtedness (except to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case to be an incurrence of such Indebtedness;

        (h)    Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary; provided that

        (1)    any such Indebtedness is made pursuant to an intercompany note and

provided further that any subsequent transfer of any such Indebtedness (except to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case to be an incurrence of such Indebtedness;

        (i)    shares of preferred stock of a Restricted Subsidiary issued to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary; provided that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event which results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent transfer of any such shares of preferred stock (except to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed in each case to be an issuance of such shares of preferred stock;

        (j)    Hedging Obligations (excluding Hedging Obligations entered into for speculative purposes) for the purpose of limiting interest rate risk, exchange rate risk with respect to any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to "—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock" or commodity pricing risk;

        (m)    the incurrence by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock which serves to refund or refinance any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock incurred as permitted under the first paragraph of this covenant and clauses (b) and (c) above, this clause (m) and clause (n) below or any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock issued to so refund or refinance such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock including additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock incurred to pay premiums (including reasonable tender premiums), defeasance costs and fees in connection therewith (the "Refinancing Indebtedness") prior to its respective maturity; provided, however, that such Refinancing Indebtedness

        (1)    has a Weighted Average Life to Maturity at the time such Refinancing Indebtedness is incurred which is not less than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock being refunded or refinanced,

        (2)    to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness refinances (1) Indebtedness subordinated or pari passu to the notes or any Guarantee of the notes, such Refinancing Indebtedness is subordinated or pari passu to the notes or such Guarantee at least to the same extent as the Indebtedness being refinanced or refunded or (2) Disqualified Stock or preferred stock, such Refinancing Indebtedness must be Disqualified Stock or preferred stock, respectively and

        (3)    shall not include

        (x)    Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of a Subsidiary that refinances Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of the Issuer,

        (y)    Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of a Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor that refinances Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of a Guarantor or

117


        (z)    Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary that refinances Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary;

        (n)    Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of Persons that are acquired by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or merged into the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; provided that such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock is not incurred in contemplation of such acquisition or merger; provided further that after giving effect to such acquisition or merger, either

        (1)    the Issuer would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first sentence of this covenant or

        (2)    the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries is greater than immediately prior to such acquisition or merger;

        (o)    Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business, provided that such Indebtedness is extinguished within two Business Days of its incurrence;

        (p)    Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary supported by a letter of credit issued pursuant to the Senior Credit Facilities, in a principal amount not in excess of the stated amount of such letter of credit; and

        (q)    (1) any guarantee by the Issuer or a Guarantor of Indebtedness or other obligations of any Restricted Subsidiary so long as the incurrence of such Indebtedness incurred by such Restricted Subsidiary is permitted under the terms of the Indenture, or

        (2)    any guarantee by a Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of the Issuer, provided that such guarantee is incurred in accordance with the covenant described below under "—Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries".

        For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant:

        (a)    in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock described in clauses (a) through (q) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Issuer, in its sole discretion, will classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock (or any portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock in one of the above clauses; provided that all Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facilities after the application of the net proceeds from the sale of the notes will be treated as incurred on the Issue Date under clause (a) of the preceding paragraph; and

        (b)    at the time of incurrence, the Issuer will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described above.

Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock for purposes of this covenant.

        For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of

118



revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced.

        The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

Liens

        The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (except Permitted Liens) that secures obligations under any Senior Subordinated Indebtedness or Subordinated Indebtedness on any asset or property of the Issuer or such Guarantor, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, unless the notes (or a Guarantee in the case of Liens of a Guarantor) are equally and ratably secured with (or in the event the Lien relates to Subordinated Indebtedness, are secured on a senior basis to) the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien.

Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets

        The Issuer may not consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not the Issuer is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless

        (1)    the Issuer is the surviving corporation or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the "Successor Company");

        (2)    the Successor Company, if other than the Issuer, expressly assumes all the obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture and the notes pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee;

        (3)    immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists;

        (4)    immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction, as if such transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period,

        (A)    the Successor Company would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first sentence of the covenant described under "—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock" or

        (B)    the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Successor Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries would be greater than such Ratio for the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction;

        (5)    each Guarantor, unless it is the other party to the transactions described above, in which case clause (2) of the second succeeding paragraph shall apply, shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Guarantee shall apply to such Person's obligations under the Indenture and the notes; and

119



        (6)    the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indentures, if any, comply with the Indenture.

        The Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for the Issuer under the Indenture and the notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (3) and (4),

        (a)    any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Issuer and

        (b)    the Issuer may merge with an Affiliate of the Issuer solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Issuer in another State of the United States so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby.

        Subject to certain limitations described in the Indenture governing release of a Guarantee upon the sale, disposition or transfer of a Guarantor, each Guarantor will not, and the Issuer will not permit any Guarantor to, consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless

        (A)    (1) such Guarantor is the surviving corporation or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (such Guarantor or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the "Successor Person");

        (2)    the Successor Person, if other than such Guarantor, expressly assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under the Indenture and such Guarantor's Guarantee pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee;

        (3)    immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

        (4)    the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indentures, if any, comply with the Indenture; or

        (B)    the transaction is made in compliance with the covenant described under "Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales".

        Subject to certain limitations described in the Indenture, the Successor Person will succeed to, and be substituted for, such Guarantor under the Indenture and such Guarantor's Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantor may merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to another Guarantor or the Issuer.

Transactions with Affiliates

        The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer (each of the foregoing, an "Affiliate Transaction") involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $5.0 million, unless

        (a)    such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person and

120



        (b)    the Issuer delivers to the Trustee with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $10.0 million, a resolution adopted by the majority of the board of directors of the Issuer approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officers' Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (a) above.

        The foregoing provisions will not apply to the following:

        (1)    Transactions between or among the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries;

        (2)    Restricted Payments permitted by the provisions of the Indenture described above under the covenant "—Limitation on Restricted Payments" and the definition of "Permitted Investments;"

        (5)    transactions in which the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or meets the requirements of clause (a) of the preceding paragraph;

        (6)    any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date, or any amendment thereto (so long as any such amendment is not disadvantageous to the holders in any material respect as compared to the applicable agreement as in effect on the Issue Date);

        (7)    the existence of, or the performance by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any stockholders agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Issue Date and any similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of obligations under any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Issue Date shall only be permitted by this clause (7) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement are not otherwise disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect;

        (8)    the Transactions and the payment of all fees and expenses related to the Transactions, in each case as disclosed in this prospectus;

        (9)    transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of the Indenture which are fair to the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the board of directors of the Issuer or the senior management thereof, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party;

        (10)    the issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer to any Permitted Holder or to any director, officer, employee or consultant;

        (11)    sales of accounts receivable, or participations therein, in connection with any Receivables Facility;

121



        (13)    payments or loans (or cancellation of loans) to employees or consultants of the Issuer, any of its direct or indirect parent companies or any Restricted Subsidiary and employment agreements, stock option plans and other similar arrangements with such employees or consultants which, in each case, are approved by a majority of the board of directors of the Issuer in good faith.

Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries

        The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any such Restricted Subsidiary to:

        The Issuer will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Domestic Subsidiary, other than a Guarantor or a special-purpose Restricted Subsidiary formed in connection with Receivables Facilities, to guarantee the payment of any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any other Guarantor unless:

        (a)    such Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to the Indenture providing for a Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary, except that with respect to a guarantee of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor

        (1)    if the notes or such Guarantor's Guarantee of the notes are subordinated in right of payment to such Indebtedness, the Guarantee under the supplemental indenture shall be subordinated to such Restricted Subsidiary's guarantee with respect to such Indebtedness substantially to the same extent as the notes are subordinated to such Indebtedness under the Indenture and

        (2)    if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the notes or such Guarantor's Guarantee of the notes, any such guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Restricted Subsidiary's Guarantee with respect to the notes substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the notes;

        (b)    such Restricted Subsidiary waives and will not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its Guarantee; and

        (c)    such Restricted Subsidiary shall deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that

        (1)    such Guarantee has been duly executed and authorized and

        (2)    such Guarantee constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary, except insofar as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers) and except insofar as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity;

        provided that this covenant shall not be applicable to any guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary.

Limitation on Other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness

        The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is subordinate in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is either

123



        (a)    equal in right of payment with the notes or such Guarantor's Guarantee, as the case may be, or

        (b)    expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes or such Guarantor's Guarantee, as the case may be.

Reports and Other Information

        Notwithstanding that the Issuer may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or otherwise report on an annual and quarterly basis on forms provided for such annual and quarterly reporting pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, the Indenture requires the Issuer to file with the SEC (and make available to the Trustee and Holders of the notes (without exhibits), without cost to each Holder, within 15 days after it files them with the SEC),

        (a)    within 90 days (or any other time period then in effect under the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act with respect to the filing of a Form 10-K) after the end of each fiscal year, annual reports on Form 10-K, or any successor or comparable form, containing the information required to be contained therein, or required in such successor or comparable form;

        (b)    within 45 days (or any other time period then in effect under the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act with respect to the filing of a Form 10-Q) after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, reports on Form 10-Q, containing the information required to be contained therein, or any successor or comparable form;

        (c)    promptly from time to time after the occurrence of an event required to be therein reported, such other reports on Form 8-K, or any successor or comparable form; and

        (d)    any other information, documents and other reports which the Issuer would be required to file with the SEC if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

provided that the Issuer shall not be so obligated to file such reports with the SEC if the SEC does not permit such filing, in which event the Issuer will make available such information to prospective purchasers of notes, in addition to providing such information to the Trustee and the Holders of the notes, in each case within 15 days after the time the Issuer would be required to file such information with the SEC, if it were subject to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

        In the event that any direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer becomes a Guarantor of the notes, the Indenture will permit the Issuer to satisfy its obligations in this covenant with respect to financial information relating to the Issuer by furnishing financial information relating to such parent; provided that the same is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such parent, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, such requirements shall be deemed satisfied prior to the commencement of the exchange offer or the effectiveness of the shelf registration statement by the filing with the SEC of the exchange offer registration statement or shelf registration statement within the time periods specified in the Registration Rights Agreement, and any amendments thereto, with such financial information that satisfies Regulation S-X of the Securities Act.

Events of Default and Remedies

        The following events constitute Events of Default under the Indenture:

        (1)    default in payment when due and payable, upon redemption, acceleration or otherwise, of principal of, or premium, if any, on the notes issued under the Indenture, whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by the subordination provisions relating to the notes;

124



        (2)    default for 30 days or more in the payment when due of interest on or with respect to the notes issued under the Indenture, whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by the subordination provisions relating to the notes;

        (3)    failure by the Issuer to comply with its obligations under the first paragraph of "Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets;"

        (4)    failure by the Issuer to comply for 30 days after notice by the Trustee or the holders of not less than 30% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding with any of its obligations in the covenants described above under "Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control" (other than a failure to purchase Notes) or "Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales" (other than a failure to purchase Notes) or under "Certain Covenants" under "—Limitation on Restricted Payments", "—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock", "—Liens", "—Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries", "—Transactions with Affiliates", "—Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries", "—Limitation on Other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness" or "—Reports and Other Information";

        (5)    failure by the Issuer or any Guarantor for 60 days after receipt of written notice given by the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 30% in principal amount of the notes then outstanding and issued under the Indenture to comply with any of its other agreements contained in the Indenture or the notes;

        (6)    default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there is issued or by which there is secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the issuance of the notes, if both

        (A)    such default either results from the failure to pay any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) or relates to an obligation other than the obligation to pay principal of any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity and results in the holder or holders of such Indebtedness causing such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity and

        (B)    the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregate $40.0 million or more at any one time outstanding;

        (7)    failure by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $40.0 million, which final judgments remain unpaid, undischarged and unstayed for a period of more than 60 days after such judgment becomes final, and in the event such judgment is covered by insurance, an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree which is not promptly stayed;

        (8)    certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary; or

        (9)    the Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary shall for any reason cease to be in full force and effect or be declared null and void or any responsible officer of any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary, as the case may be, denies that it has any further liability under its Guarantee or gives notice to such effect, other than by reason of the termination of the related Indenture or the release of any such Guarantee in accordance with the Indenture.

        If any Event of Default (other than of a type specified in clause (8) above) occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the then outstanding notes issued under the Indenture may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest

125



and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding notes issued under the Indenture to be due and payable immediately; provided, however, that, so long as any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the Indenture as part of the Senior Credit Facilities shall be outstanding, no such acceleration shall be effective until the earlier of

        (1)    acceleration of any such Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities, or

        (2)    five Business Days after the giving of written notice of such acceleration to the Issuer and the administrative agent under the Senior Credit Facilities.

        Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal and interest will be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under clause (8) of the first paragraph of this section, all outstanding notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. The Indenture provides that the Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. In addition, the Trustee shall have no obligation to accelerate the notes if in the best judgment of the Trustee acceleration is not in the best interest of the Holders of such notes.

        The Indenture provides that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes issued thereunder by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of such notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, premium, if any, or the principal of any such note held by a non-consenting Holder. In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (6) above, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arises

        (x)    the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged, or

        (y)    the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default, or

        (z)    the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured.

        Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of the notes unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder of a note may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the notes unless:

        (1)    such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

        (2)    Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

        (3)    such Holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;

        (4)    the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and

        (5)    Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

126


        Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder of a Note or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

        The Indenture provides that the Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuer is required, within five Business Days, upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default or any default under any document, instrument or agreement representing Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders

        No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuer or any Guarantor or any of their parent companies shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

        The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under the Indenture will terminate (other than certain obligations) and will be released upon payment in full of all of the notes issued under the Indenture. The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have all of its obligations discharged with respect to the notes issued under the Indenture and have each Guarantor's obligation discharged with respect to its Guarantee ("Legal Defeasance") and cure all then existing Events of Default except for

        (1)    the rights of Holders of notes issued under the Indenture to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such notes when such payments are due solely out of the trust created pursuant to the Indenture,

        (2)    the Issuer's obligations with respect to notes issued under the Indenture concerning issuing temporary notes, registration of such notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust,

        (3)    the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Issuer's obligations in connection therewith and

        (4)    the Legal Defeasance provisions of the Indenture.

        In addition, the Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have its obligations and those of each Guarantor released with respect to certain covenants that are described in the Indenture ("Covenant Defeasance") and thereafter any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events pertaining to the Issuer) described under "Events of Default" will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the notes.

127



        In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the notes issued under the Indenture:

        (1)    the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on the notes issued under the Indenture on the stated maturity date or on the redemption date, as the case may be, of such principal, premium, if any, or interest on the notes;

        (2)    in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions,

        (A)    the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling or

        (B)    since the issuance of the notes, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law,

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel in the United States shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

        (3)    in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to such tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

        (4)    no Default or Event of Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;

        (5)    such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the Senior Credit Facilities or any other material agreement or instrument (other than the Indenture) to which, the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;

        (6)    the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and subject to customary assumptions and exclusions following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of Title II of the United States Code;

        (7)    the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or any Guarantor or others; and

        (8)    the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an opinion of counsel in the United States (which opinion of counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with.

128



Satisfaction and Discharge

        The Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all notes issued thereunder, when either

        (a)    all such notes theretofore authenticated and delivered, except lost, stolen or destroyed notes which have been replaced or paid and notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

        (b)    (1) all such notes not theretofore delivered to such Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer and the Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with such Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

        (2)    no Default or Event of Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit) with respect to the Indenture or the notes issued thereunder shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the Credit Facilities or any other material agreement or instrument (other than the Indenture) to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;

        (3)    the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under the Indenture; and

        (4)    the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under the Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of such notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.

        In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officers' Certificate and an opinion of counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

Transfer and Exchange

        A Holder may transfer or exchange notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer is not required to transfer or exchange any note selected for redemption. Also, the Issuer is not required to transfer or exchange any note for a period of 15 days before a selection of notes to be redeemed.

        The registered Holder of a note will be treated as the owner of the note for all purposes.

Amendment, Supplement and Waiver

        Except as provided in the next two succeeding paragraphs, the Indenture, any related guarantee and the notes issued thereunder may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the notes then outstanding and issued under the Indenture, including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes, and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the notes issued thereunder may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding notes issued under the Indenture, other than notes

129



beneficially owned by the Issuer or its Affiliates (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of or tender offer or exchange offer for notes).

        The Indenture provides that, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not, with respect to any notes issued under the Indenture and held by a non-consenting Holder:

        (1)    reduce the principal amount of notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver,

        (2)    reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any such note or alter or waive the provisions with respect to the redemption of the notes (other than provisions relating to the covenants described above under the caption "Repurchase at the Option of Holders"),

        (3)    reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any note,

        (4)    waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the notes issued under the Indenture, except a rescission of acceleration of the notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration, or in respect of a covenant or provision contained in the Indenture or any guarantee which cannot be amended or modified without the consent of all Holders,

        (5)    make any note payable in money other than that stated in the notes,

        (6)    make any change in the provisions of the indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the notes,

        (7)    make any change in these amendment and waiver provisions,

        (8)    impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, or interest on such Holder's notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder's notes, or

        (9)    make any change in the subordination provisions of the Indenture that would adversely affect the Holders.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any Holder, the Issuer, any Guarantor (with respect to a Guarantee or the Indenture to which it is a party) and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture, any Guarantee or the notes:

        (1)    to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency;

        (2)    to provide for uncertificated notes in addition to or in place of certificated notes;

        (3)    to comply with the covenant relating to mergers, consolidations and sales of assets;

        (4)    to provide the assumption of the Issuer's or any Guarantor's obligations to Holders;

        (5)    to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder;

        (6)    to add covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuer or any Guarantor;

        (7)    to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

        (8)    to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under the Indenture of a successor Trustee pursuant to the requirements thereof;

130



        (9)    to provide for the issuance of exchange notes or private exchange notes, which are identical to exchange notes except that they are not freely transferable;

        (10)    to add a Guarantor under the Indenture;

        (11)    to conform the text of the Indenture, Guarantees or the notes to any provision of this "Description of the Notes" to the extent that such provision in this "Description of the Notes" was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Guarantees or the notes; or

        (12)    making any amendment to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of notes; provided, however, that (1) compliance with the Indenture as so amended would not result in notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (2) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer notes.

        The consent of the Holders is not necessary under the Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment.

Notices

        Notices given by publication will be deemed given on the first date on which publication is made and notices given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, will be deemed given five calendar days after mailing.

Concerning the Trustee

        The Indenture contains certain limitations on the rights of the Trustee, should it become a creditor of the Issuer, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The Trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue or resign.

        The Indenture provides that the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes issued thereunder will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee, subject to certain exceptions. The Indenture provides that in case an Event of Default shall occur (which shall not be cured), the Trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent person in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request of any Holder of the notes, unless such Holder shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

        The following is a summary of the material United States federal income tax consequences of the ownership of notes as of the date hereof.

        Except where noted, this summary deals only with notes that are held as capital assets, and does not represent a detailed description of the United States federal income tax consequences applicable to you if you are subject to special treatment under the United States federal income tax laws, including if you are:

    a dealer in securities or currencies;

    a financial institution;

    a regulated investment company;

    a real estate investment trust;

    a tax-exempt organization;

    an insurance company;

    a person holding the notes as part of a hedging, integrated, conversion or constructive sale transaction or a straddle;

    a trader in securities that has elected the mark-to-market method of accounting for your securities;

    a person liable for alternative minimum tax;

    a person who is an investor in a pass-through entity;

    a person whose "functional currency" is not the U.S. dollar;

    a "controlled foreign corporation";

    a "passive foreign investment company"; or

    a United States expatriate

        This summary is based upon provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions as of the date hereof. Those authorities may be changed, perhaps retroactively, so as to result in United States federal income tax consequences different from those summarized below. This summary does not represent a detailed description of the United States federal income tax consequences to you in light of your particular circumstances.

        If a partnership holds notes, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding notes, you should consult your tax advisors.

        If you are considering the purchase of notes, you should consult your own tax advisors concerning the particular United States federal income tax consequences to you of the ownership of the notes, as well as the consequences to you arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

Consequences to United States Holders

        The following is a summary of the material United States federal income tax consequences that will apply to you if you are a United States Holder of notes.

        Certain consequences to "Non-United States Holders" of notes, which are beneficial owners of notes (other than partnerships) who are not United States Holders, are described under "—Consequences to Non-United States Holders" below.

153



        "United States Holder" means a beneficial owner of a note that is for United States federal income tax purposes:

    an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

    a corporation (or any other entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

    an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

    a trust if it (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

Payments of Interest

        Interest on a note will generally be taxable to you as ordinary income at the time it is paid or accrued in accordance with your method of accounting for tax purposes.

Market Discount

        If you purchase a note for an amount that is less than its principal amount, the amount of the difference will be treated as "market discount" for United States federal income tax purposes, unless that difference is less than a specified de minimis amount. Under the market discount rules, you will be required to treat any principal payment on or any gain on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of, a note as ordinary income to the extent of the market discount that you have not previously included in income and are treated as having accrued on the note at the time of its payment or disposition.

        In addition, you may be required to defer, until the maturity of the note or its earlier disposition in a taxable transaction, the deduction of all or a portion of the interest expense on any indebtedness attributable to the note. You may elect, on a bond-by-bond basis, to deduct the deferred interest expense in a tax year prior to the year of disposition. You should consult your own tax advisors before making this election.

        Any market discount will be considered to accrue ratably during the period from the date of acquisition to the maturity date of the note, unless you elect to accrue on a constant interest method. You may elect to include market discount in income currently as it accrues, on either a ratable or constant interest method, in which case the rule described above regarding deferral of interest deductions will not apply.

        If you purchase a note for an amount in excess of its principal amount, you will be considered to have purchased the note at a "premium". You generally may elect to amortize the premium over the remaining term of the note on a constant yield method as an offset to interest when includible in income under your regular accounting method. If you do not elect to amortize bond premium, that premium will decrease the gain or increase the loss you would otherwise recognize on disposition of the note.

Sale, Exchange and Retirement of Notes

        Your tax basis in a note will, in general, be your cost for that note, increased by market discount that you previously included in income, and reduced by any amortized premium and any cash payments on the note other than stated interest. Upon the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of a

154



note, you will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount you realize upon the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition (less an amount equal to any accrued interest that you did not previously include in income, which will be taxable as interest income) and the tax basis of the note. Except as described above with respect to market discount, that gain or loss will be capital gain or loss. Capital gains of individuals derived in respect of capital assets held for more than one year are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Consequences to Non-United States Holders

        The following is a summary of the material United States federal income and estate tax consequences that will apply to you if you are a Non-United States Holder of notes.

United States Federal Withholding Tax

        The 30% United States federal withholding tax will not apply to any payment of interest on the notes, under the "portfolio interest rule," provided that:

    interest paid on the notes is not effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States;

    you do not actually (or constructively) own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our voting stock within the meaning of the Code and applicable United States Treasury regulations;

    you are not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to us through stock ownership;

    you are not a bank whose receipt of interest on the notes is described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code; and

    either (a) you provide your name and address on an Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Form W-8BEN (or other applicable form), and certify, under penalties of perjury, that you are not a United States person as defined under the Code or (b) you hold your notes through certain foreign intermediaries and satisfy the certification requirements of applicable United States Treasury regulations.

Special certification rules apply to Non-United States Holders that are pass-through entities rather than corporations or individuals.

        If you cannot satisfy the requirements described above, payments of interest made to you will be subject to the 30% United States federal withholding tax, unless you provide us with a properly executed:

    IRS Form W-8BEN (or other applicable form) claiming an exemption from or reduction in withholding under the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty; or

    IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable form) stating that interest paid on the notes is not subject to withholding tax because it is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States (as discussed below under "United States Federal Income Tax").

        The 30% United States federal withholding tax generally will not apply to any payment of principal or gain that you realize on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of a note.

United States Federal Income Tax

        If you are engaged in a trade or business in the United States and interest on the notes is effectively connected with the conduct of that trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment), then you will be subject to United States federal income tax on that interest on a net income basis (although you will be exempt from the 30% United States federal withholding tax, provided you furnish us with a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI as discussed above under "United States Federal Withholding Tax") in the

155



same manner as if you were a United States person as defined under the Code. In addition, if you are a foreign corporation, you may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or lower applicable income tax treaty rate) of such interest, subject to adjustments.

        Any gain realized on the disposition of a note generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax unless:

    the gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment); or

    you are an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of that disposition, and certain other conditions are met.

United States Federal Estate Tax

        Your estate will not be subject to United States federal estate tax on notes beneficially owned by you at the time of your death, provided that any interest payment to you on the notes would be eligible for exemption from the 30% United States federal withholding tax under the "portfolio interest rule" described above under "United States Federal Withholding Tax," without regard to the statement requirement described in the fifth bullet point of that section.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

United States Holders

        In general, information reporting requirements will apply to certain payments of principal, interest and premium paid on notes and to the proceeds of sale of a note made to you (unless you are an exempt recipient such as a corporation). A backup withholding tax may apply to such payments if you fail to provide a taxpayer identification number or a certification of exempt status, or if you fail to report in full dividend and interest income.

        Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against your United States federal income tax liability provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.

Non-United States Holders

        Generally, we must report to the IRS and to you the amount of interest on the notes paid to you and the amount of tax, if any, withheld with respect to those payments. Copies of the information returns reporting such interest payments and any withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which you reside under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

        In general, you will not be subject to backup withholding with respect to payments on the notes that we make to you provided that we do not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a United States person as defined under the Code, and we have received from you the statement described above in the fifth bullet point under "Consequences to Non-United States Holders—United States Federal Withholding Tax."

        In addition, no information reporting or backup withholding will be required regarding the proceeds of the sale of a note made within the United States or conducted through certain United States-related financial intermediaries, if the payor receives the statement described above and does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a United States person as defined under the Code, or you otherwise establish an exemption.

        Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against your United States federal income tax liability provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.

EXPERTS

        The consolidated financial statements of Visant Holding Corp. and Visant Corporation as of and for the years ended December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 included in this prospectus and the related financial statement schedule included elsewhere in the registration statement have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their reports appearing in the registration statement, and are included in reliance upon the reports of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

        The consolidated financial statements of Visant Corporation and subsidiaries at January 1, 2005, and January 3, 2004, and for the year ended January 1, 2005, and for the period from July 30, 2003 to January 3, 2004, and the period from December 29, 2002 to July 29, 2003, appearing in this Prospectus and Registration Statement have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their report thereon, appearing elsewhere herein, and are included in reliance upon such report given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

        At the time of the engagement of E&Y as the outside auditors for our parent in October 2003, E&Y considered independence issues in accordance with its standard practice at the time, including consideration of whether the tax operations services it provided to Jostens during fiscal 2003 would impair its independence. As a result of this process, in connection with E&Y becoming our parent's outside auditor in late 2003, E&Y revised its tax services arrangement with Jostens. Based on what was known at the time, E&Y's audit and tax engagement personnel concluded that the services detailed in the tax services engagement letter complied with the applicable independence rules of the SEC, the AICPA independence rules and E&Y policy, and the Audit Committee in place at that time was advised accordingly.

        In connection with our filing of the Visant S-4 registration statement in the fall of 2004, E&Y's policies and procedures required it to review once again its independence with respect to our parent. As part of this process, E&Y reviewed the tax operations services it had provided to Jostens and interviewed members of E&Y's tax operations services team. As a result of this review, E&Y identified three primary activities related to the provision of tax operations services that raised questions about E&Y's independence:

    Calculation of sales tax. Jostens uses software programs that calculate the amount of sales tax for each sale. E&Y's tax operations services team assisted in maintaining the accuracy of these programs by inputting changes into an ancillary software application to account for changes in laws and regulations in various states. E&Y also made limited edits to customer profiles in Jostens' database in order to update the "taxable/tax exempt" field whenever a customer submitted proof to Jostens that it was exempt from sales tax. In addition, in connection with assisting another accounting firm which provides Jostens with sales tax compliance services, E&Y reviewed spreadsheets generated by such firm that showed the amounts to be paid in sales tax to

158


      each jurisdiction in which Jostens sold products to confirm that the aggregate sales tax liability shown on the spreadsheet agreed with the general ledger balance and then initialed the spreadsheet to signify that their review had been completed and that all sales tax returns appeared to be processed timely and completely.

    Check handling. E&Y's tax operations services team opened mail routed to the Jostens' tax department, which at times included tax refund checks payable to Jostens. Occasionally, a member of E&Y's tax operations services team would mail tax-related checks for Jostens.

    Authorization of Jostens disbursements. A member of E&Y's tax operations services team authorized certain tax-related disbursements totaling $294,779 in 2003 (out of a total of approximately $10.8 million for all such disbursements in 2003), including $4,986 of disbursements subsequent to E&Y's appointment as auditor in October 2003.

        E&Y's 2004 review discovered a further activity that required consideration with respect to E&Y's independence. On April 8, 2003, Jostens Canada, Ltd. ("JCL"), a subsidiary of Jostens, engaged a law firm in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, to represent JCL in proceedings for the recovery of Ontario sales tax, which firm is an affiliate of E&Y Canada. Additionally, the engagement letter provided for a contingent fee based upon the amount of tax and interest refunded to JCL.

        E&Y brought the independence matters described above to the attention of the Audit Committee in mid-December 2004. In response, the Audit Committee took prompt action, including retaining outside counsel which interviewed management and E&Y personnel and overseeing a review by our internal audit group of past procedures and documentation related to the matters raised. Together with management and E&Y, the Audit Committee has been involved in the identification of the matters and the analysis of the scope and nature of such matters. The Audit Committee also retained a forensic accounting firm, which was charged with reviewing and confirming the accuracy of the analysis undertaken by our internal audit group and confirming its analysis regarding the lack of discrepancies. On January 17, 2005, E&Y and Jostens agreed to immediately terminate the tax operations services arrangement.

        The Audit Committee and E&Y each concluded that there were violations of the Commission's independence rules. Consequently, the Audit Committee conducted an inquiry into, and an evaluation of, the facts and circumstances surrounding the matters presented, after which inquiry and evaluation the Audit Committee and E&Y each concluded pursuant to Rule 2-01(b) of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act that there has been no impairment of E&Y's independence for the 2003 or 2004 audit. E&Y concluded, and the Audit Committee concurred, that E&Y's capacity for objective judgment was not and is not diminished and that the investing public would not perceive that an impairment of independence affecting the integrity of the financial statements has occurred. Based upon all the facts and circumstances, E&Y and the Audit Committee shared the view that, throughout the audit and professional engagement period and continuing to date, E&Y has been and continues to be capable of exercising objective and impartial judgment on all issues encompassed within the audit engagement. In particular, the Audit Committee concluded that: the individuals involved did not, at any time, appreciate the consequences of the actions taken; and the amounts involved, individually and in the aggregate, were de minimis. In addition, the Audit Committee understands that the E&Y audit team believed they were independent, that matters affecting independence had been addressed prior to E&Y being engaged in October 2003 and that the audit team conducted themselves accordingly and were not influenced, directly or indirectly, by any of the matters noted. The Audit Committee was separately advised by both management and E&Y that these violations did not result in any change to any aspect of the Company's financial statements.

        In addition to the steps already implemented at the direction of the Audit Committee in connection with the inquiry, including the retention of the forensic accounting firm, the termination of the E&Y tax operations services arrangement, and the termination of the arrangement between JCL

159



and an affiliate of E&Y Canada in January 2005 without payment of any fees or expenses by JCL, Jostens or Visant Holding to such firm, the Audit Committee directed that certain long-term remedial efforts and initiatives be taken which are designed to prevent independence issues from occurring in the future, including:

    the adoption of additional policies and procedures regarding independence;

    the institution of additional training for the management group and finance staff to heighten awareness regarding auditor independence requirements;

    the designation or retention of a person, who will be a member of our internal audit staff, to act as Director of Audit Independence and who will report directly to the Audit Committee on independence issues and will act as a liaison among the Audit Committee, management and the outside auditor;

    the hiring of a corporate Director of Tax who will report to our Vice President of Finance and will be responsible for all tax compliance matters of Visant Holding and each of its operating subsidiaries;

    considering the separation of tax compliance from the attest functions to avoid the potential for an independence issue arising in the future with respect to tax compliance services; and

    considering whether to engage a new auditor for the audit of fiscal year 2005.

        Based on these remediation measures, the Audit Committee believes that the Company has taken and is taking appropriate steps designed to eliminate the possibility of an independence violation arising in the future.

        On February 11, 2005, E&Y issued its independence letter to our Audit Committee pursuant to Rule 3600T of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, which adopts on an interim basis the Independence Standards Board's Standard No. 1. That letter reported that E&Y satisfies the auditor independence standards of Regulation S-X in connection with its audit opinion for the financial statements contained in this prospectus.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
Visant Holding Corp.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows of Visant Holding Corp. and subsidiaries (Visant Holding Corp.) and Visant Corporation and subsidiaries (Visant Corporation) for the year ended January 1, 2005. The financial statements are the responsibility of Visant Holding Corp. and Visant Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of Visant Holding Corp.'s, and Visant Corporation's internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Visant Holding Corp.'s, and Visant Corporation's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of Visant Holding Corp. and Visant Corporation for the year ended January 1, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
of Visant Holding Corp.
Armonk, New York

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Visant Holding Corp. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' (deficit) equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 16. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Visant Holding Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of
Visant Corporation
Armonk, New York

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Visant Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 16. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Visant Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

VISANT HOLDING CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

        The Company is a marketing and publishing services enterprise servicing school affinity, direct marketing, fragrance and cosmetics sampling and educational publishing markets. The Company was formed through the October 2004 consolidation of Jostens, Von Hoffmann and Arcade. These subsidiaries are currently integrated into three reportable segments: Jostens Scholastic, Jostens Yearbook and Marketing and Publishing Services.

        On June 8, 2006, the Company entered into definitive agreements to sell its Jostens Photography businesses, which previously comprised a reportable segment. The transactions closed on June 30, 2006. The discontinued operations of the Jostens Photography businesses are excluded from the consolidated financial statements retrospective from the date of disposition (see Note 6).

        As of December 2006, our Von Hoffmann Holdings Inc., Von Hoffmann Corporation and Anthology, Inc. businesses together were held as assets for sale. On January 3, 2007, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Von Hoffmann Stock Purchase Agreement") with R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company providing for the sale of Von Hoffmann Holdings Inc., Von Hoffmann Corporation and Anthology, Inc., which previously comprised the Educational Textbook segment and a portion of the Marketing and Publishing Services segment. This sale is subject to regulatory approval and is pending based on ongoing regulatory review through a second request by the Federal Trade Commission. The operations of Von Hoffmann businesses are reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. (see Note 6).

        On March 16, 2007, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Neff Holding Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Neff Motivation, Inc. Neff is a leading single source provider of custom award programs and apparel, including chenille letters and letter jackets, to the scholastic market segment. Neff will operate as a direct subsidiary of Visant under the Neff brand name and its results will be reported together with the results of the Jostens scholastic operations as the renamed Scholastic segment.

Basis of Presentation

        The consolidated financial statements included herein are:

    Visant Holding Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (Holdings) which includes Visant Corporation (Visant); and

    Visant and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

        There are no significant differences between the results of operations and financial condition of Visant Corporation and those of Visant Holding Corp., other than certain indebtedness of Holdings. Holdings has 10.25% senior discount notes, which had an accreted value of $204.2 and $184.7 million as of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, and $350.0 million principal amount of 83/4% Senior Notes as of December 30, 2006.

        All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

F-13



Reclassifications

        Certain reclassifications of previously reported amounts have been made to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications are related to discontinued operations and are discussed in Note 6.

Fiscal Year

        The Company utilizes a fifty-two, fifty-three week fiscal year ending on the Saturday nearest December 31st.

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results will differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

        The SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, Revenue Recognition, provides guidance on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States to selected revenue recognition issues. In accordance with SAB No. 104, the Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete, evidenced by an agreement between the Company and the customer, delivery and acceptance has occurred, collectibility is probable and pricing is fixed or determinable. Revenue is recognized when (1) products are shipped (if shipped FOB shipping point), (2) products are delivered (if shipped FOB destination) or (3) as services are performed as determined by contractual agreement, but in all cases only when risk of loss has transferred to the customer and the Company has no further performance obligations.

Cost of Products Sold

        Cost of products sold primarily include the cost of paper and other materials, direct and indirect labor and related benefit costs, depreciation of production assets and shipping and handling costs.

Shipping and Handling

        Net sales include amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs. Costs incurred for shipping and handling are recorded in cost of products sold.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

        Selling and administrative expenses are expensed as incurred. These costs primarily include salaries and related benefits of sales and administrative personnel, sales commissions, amortization of intangibles and professional fees such as audit and consulting fees.

F-14



Advertising

        The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Selling and administrative expenses include advertising expense of $5.6 million for 2006, $6.0 million for 2005 and $6.2 million for 2004.

Foreign Currency Translation

        Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the current exchange rate as of the balance sheet date, and income statement amounts are translated at the average monthly exchange rate. Translation adjustments resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).

Supplier Concentration

        Jostens purchases substantially all precious, semiprecious and synthetic stones from a single supplier located in Germany. The Company believes this supplier is also a supplier to its major class ring competitors in the United States. Arcade's products utilize specific grades of paper and foil laminates for which we rely on limited suppliers with whom we do not have written supply agreements in place.

Derivative Financial Instruments

        All derivatives are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities, as amended. SFAS No. 133 requires that the Company recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value and establish criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in earnings or other comprehensive income (loss), based on whether the instrument is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if so, the type of hedge transaction. Gains or losses on derivative instruments reported in other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified into earnings in the period in which earnings are affected by the underlying hedged item. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value is recognized in earnings in the current period.

Stock-Based Compensation

        Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R (revised 2004), Share Based Payment ("SFAS No. 123R"), which requires the recognition of compensation expense related to all equity awards granted including awards modified, repurchased or cancelled based on the fair values of the awards at the grant date. For the year ended December 30, 2006, the Company recognized compensation expense related to stock options of approximately $0.2 million, which is included in selling and administrative expenses. Refer to Note 17, Stock-based Compensation, for further details.

Mezzanine Equity

        Certain management stockholder agreements contain a repurchase feature whereby Holdings is obligated, under certain circumstances such as death and disability (as defined in the agreement), to repurchase the common shares from the holder and settle amounts in cash. In accordance with SAB No. 107, Share-Based Payment, such equity instruments are considered temporary equity and have been classified as mezzanine equity in the balance sheet as of December 30, 2006.

F-15



Cash and Cash Equivalents

        All investments with an original maturity of three months or less on their acquisition date are considered to be cash equivalents.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

        The Company makes estimates of potentially uncollectible customer accounts receivable and evaluates the adequacy of the allowance periodically. The evaluation considers historical loss experience, the length of time receivables are past due, adverse situations that may affect a customer's ability to pay, and prevailing economic conditions. The Company makes adjustments to the allowance balance if the evaluation of allowance requirements differs from the actual aggregate reserve. This evaluation is inherently subjective and estimates may be revised as more information becomes available.

Allowance for Sales Returns

        The Company makes estimates of potential future product returns related to current period product revenue. The Company evaluates the adequacy of the allowance periodically. This evaluation considers historical return experience, changes in customer demand and acceptance of the Company's products and prevailing economic conditions. The Company makes adjustments to the allowance if the evaluation of allowance requirements differs from the actual aggregate reserve. This evaluation is inherently subjective and estimates may be revised as more information becomes available.

Allowance for Salespersons Overdrafts

        The Company makes estimates of potentially uncollectible receivables arising from sales representative draws paid in advance of earned commissions. These estimates are based on historical commissions earned and length of service for each sales representative. The Company evaluates the adequacy of the allowance on a periodic basis. The evaluation considers historical loss experience, length of time receivables past due, adverse situations that may affect a sales representative's ability to repay and prevailing economic conditions. The Company makes adjustments to the allowance balance if the evaluation of allowance requirements differs from the actual aggregate reserve. This evaluation is inherently subjective and estimates may be revised as more information becomes available.

Inventories

        Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by using standard costing, which approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for all inventories except gold and certain paper types, which are determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Cost includes direct materials, direct labor and applicable overhead. Obsolescence reserves are provided as necessary in order to approximate inventories at market value.

Property, Plant and Equipment

        Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost except when adjusted to fair value in applying purchase accounting in conjunction with an acquisition or merger. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized. Depreciation

F-16



is determined for financial reporting purposes by using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

 
  Years
Buildings   7 to 40
Machinery and equipment   3 to 12
Capitalized software   2 to 5
Transportation equipment   4 to 10
Furniture and fixtures   3 to 7

Capitalization of Internal-Use Software

        Costs of software developed or obtained for internal use are capitalized once the preliminary project stage has concluded, management commits to funding the project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Capitalized costs include only (1) external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use software, (2) payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the internal-use software project and (3) interest costs incurred, when material, while developing internal-use software. Capitalization of costs ceases when the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

        Under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company is required to test goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators occur. The impairment test requires management to make judgments in connection with identifying reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets to reporting units, and determining the fair value of each reporting unit. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include projecting future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. The projections are based on management's best estimate given recent financial performance, market trends, strategic plans and other available information. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or impairment for each reporting unit. The impairment testing was completed as of the beginning of the fourth quarter and there were no indications of impairment.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

        Long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, are evaluated in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. An impairment loss is recognized whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable. In applying SFAS No. 144, assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in the evaluation of impairment. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair

F-17



value, generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows at the rate used to evaluate potential investments. There were no indicators of impairment at December 30, 2006.

Customer Deposits

        Amounts received from customers in the form of cash down payments to purchase goods are recorded as a liability until the goods are delivered.

Income Taxes

        Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Income tax expense represents the taxes payable for the year and the change in deferred taxes during the year. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Warranty Costs

        Provisions for warranty costs related to Jostens' scholastic products, particularly class rings due to their lifetime warranty, are recorded based on historical information and current trends in manufacturing costs. The provision related to the lifetime warranty is based on the number of rings manufactured in the prior school year consistent with industry standards. For fiscal years ended 2006, 2005 and 2004, the provision for the lifetime warranty on rings was less than $1.0 million. Warranty repair costs for rings manufactured in the current school year are expensed as incurred. Accrued warranty costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets were approximately $0.6 million and $1.0 million as of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The interpretation defines the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The new guidance became effective for us in the beginning of fiscal 2007. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 will be recorded in retained earnings and other accounts as applicable. We are currently evaluating the provisions of FIN 48 to determine the impact on our financial statements.

        In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements that establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 requires companies to disclose the fair value of their financial instruments according to a fair value hierarchy as defined in the standard. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS No. 157 to determine the impact, if any, on our financial statements.

F-18


        In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans ("SFAS No. 158"). SFAS No. 158 requires the recognition of the funded status of a benefit plan in the balance sheet; the recognition in other comprehensive income of gains or losses and prior service costs or credits arising during the period but which are not included as components of periodic benefit cost; the measurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the balance sheet date; and disclosure of additional information about the effects on periodic benefit cost for the following fiscal year arising from delayed recognition in the current period. In addition, SFAS No. 158 amends SFAS No. 87, Employers' Accounting for Pensions, and SFAS No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, to include guidance regarding selection of assumed discount rates for use in measuring the benefit obligation. The new guidance will be effective for us the first fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS No. 158 to determine the impact, if any, on our financial statements.

        In September 2006, the SEC Staff issued SAB 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements ("SAB 108"), to clarify consideration of the effects of the prior year errors when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB 108 states that registrants should quantify errors using both a balance sheet approach and an income statement approach when quantifying and evaluating the materiality of a misstatement. The new guidance is applicable to annual financial statements for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company assessed the effects of the adoption and determined that adopting this pronouncement did not have an impact on the financial statements.

2.    Transactions

        On October 4, 2004, an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. ("KKR") and affiliates of DLJ Merchant Banking Partners completed transactions which created a marketing and publishing services enterprise, servicing the school affinity products, direct marketing, fragrance and cosmetics sampling and educational publishing market segments through the consolidation of Jostens, Von Hoffmann and Arcade (the "Transactions").

        Prior to the Transactions, Von Hoffmann and Arcade were each controlled by affiliates of DLJ Merchant Banking Partners II, L.P. ("DLJMBP II") and DLJ Merchant Banking Partners III, L.P. ("DLJMBP III") owned approximately 82.5% of Holdings' outstanding equity, with the remainder held by other co-investors and certain members of management. Upon consummation of the Transactions, an affiliate of KKR invested $256.1 million and was issued equity interests representing approximately 49.6% of the voting interest and 45.0% of the economic interest of the Company and affiliates of DLJMBP III held equity interests representing approximately 41.0% of the voting interest and 45.0% of the economic interest, with the remainder held by other co-investors and certain members of management. After giving effect to the issuance of equity to additional members of management, as of March 12, 2007, affiliates of KKR and DLJMBP III (the "Sponsors") held approximately 49.0% and 41.0%, respectively, of the voting interests of the Company, while each continued to hold approximately 44.6% of the economic interests. As of March 12, 2007, the other co-investors held approximately 8.4% of the voting interests and 9.1% of the economic interests of the Company, and members of management held approximately 1.6% of the voting interests and approximately 1.7% of the economic interests of Holdings.

F-19


3.    2003 Jostens Merger

        On June 17, 2003, Holdings entered into a merger agreement with Jostens and Ring Acquisition Corp., an entity organized by Holdings for the sole purpose of effecting its acquisition of Jostens. On July 29, 2003, Ring Acquisition Corp. merged with and into Jostens with Jostens surviving as an indirect subsidiary of Holdings (the "2003 Jostens merger").

        Holdings was capitalized in July 2003 through the issuance of common stock to DLJ Merchant Banking Partners III, L.P. and certain of its affiliated funds (collectively, the "DLJMB Funds") and members of management, and received proceeds of $322.9 million. Holdings established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Jostens IH Corp. (subsequently renamed Visant Corporation), and capitalized it through the purchase of common stock for $317.9 million. Visant used the $317.9 million, along with $100.0 million of proceeds from the issuance of redeemable preferred stock to the DLJMB Funds, to make a capital contribution of $417.9 million to Jostens. Jostens used the proceeds from the capital contribution, along with incremental borrowings under its senior secured credit facility, to repurchase all previously outstanding common stock and warrants. Jostens paid $471.0 million to holders of its common stock and warrants representing a cash payment of $48.25 per share. In addition, Jostens paid approximately $41.2 million of fees and expenses associated with the merger including $12.6 million of compensation expense representing the excess of the fair market value over the exercise price of outstanding stock options, $12.6 million of capitalized merger costs and $16.0 million of expensed costs consisting primarily of investment banking, legal and accounting fees. Jostens also recognized $2.6 million of transaction costs as a result of writing off certain prepaid management fees having no future value.

        The 2003 Jostens merger was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 141 Business Combinations. The price paid to holders of common stock and warrants of $471.0 million, excluding certain capitalized transaction costs, was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their relative fair values as of the date of the merger.

        The allocation of the purchase price, excluding certain transaction costs, was as follows:

 
  In thousands

 
Current assets   $ 165,280  
Property, plant and equipment     101,389  
Intangible assets     660,399  
Goodwill     709,724  
Other assets     18,622  
Current liabilities     (202,635 )
Long-term debt     (594,494 )
Redeemable preferred stock     (106,511 )
Deferred income taxes     (252,209 )
Other liabilities     (28,521 )
   
 
Purchase price   $ 471,044  
   
 

4.    Restructuring Activity and Other Special Charges

        For the year ended December 30, 2006, the Company recorded $2.3 million relating to an impairment loss to reduce the value of the former Jostens corporate buildings, which were later sold,

F-20



and net $0.1 million of special charges for severance and related benefit costs. The severance costs and related benefits included $0.1 million for Jostens Yearbook and $0.1 million for Jostens Scholastic. Marketing and Publishing Services incurred $0.2 million of special charges for severance costs and related benefits offset by reduction of $0.3 million of the restructuring accrual that related to withdrawal liability under a union retirement plan that arose in connection with the consolidation of certain operations. Additionally, headcount reductions related to these activities totaled five, 13 and four employees for Jostens Yearbook, Jostens Scholastic and Marketing and Publishing Services, respectively.

        Restructuring accruals of $1.4 million as of December 30, 2006 and $3.2 million as of December 31, 2005 are included in other accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The accruals as of December 30, 2006 include amounts provided for severance related to reductions in corporate and administrative employees from Jostens and the Marketing and Publishing Services segment.

        On a cumulative basis through December 30, 2006, the Company incurred $17.5 million of employee severance costs related to initiatives that began in 2004 ("2004 initiatives"), which affected 254 employees. To date, the Company has paid $16.1 million in cash related to these initiatives.

        Changes in the restructuring accruals during fiscal 2006 were as follows:

 
  2006
Initiatives

  2005
Initiatives

  2004
Initiatives

  Total
 
 
  (In thousands)

 
Balance at December 31, 2005   $   $ 1,550   $ 1,682   $ 3,232  
Restructuring charges     981     (651 )   (14 )   316  
Severance paid     (468 )   (788 )   (913 )   (2,169 )
   
 
 
 
 
Balance at December 30, 2006   $ 513   $ 111   $ 755   $ 1,379  
   
 
 
 
 

        The Company expects the majority of the remaining severance related to the 2004, 2005, and 2006 Initiatives to be paid during 2007.

5.    Acquisitions

        On September 8, 2006, a newly formed subsidiary of the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of the Vertis, Inc. fragrance sampling business for approximately $42.3 million in cash. The acquired business currently operates under the Arcade Marketing name. The acquisition was a strategic step to continue to expand the Company's Marketing and Publishing Services segment which services the fragrance, cosmetic, personal care and other consumer product market segments. The results of these acquired operations have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements since that date.

        The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations ("SFAS 141"). The cost of the acquisition was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their relative fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The estimates utilized to determine the purchase price allocation are subject to change due to certain working capital adjustments.

F-21



        The allocation of the purchase price was as follows:

 
  (In thousands)
 
Current assets   $ 9,720  
Property, plant and equipment     387  
Intangible assets     21,200  
Goodwill     13,103  
Current liabilities     (2,084 )
   
 
    $ 42,326  
   
 

        In connection with the purchase accounting related to the acquisition of the Vertis fragrance sampling business, the intangible assets and goodwill approximated $34.2 million, which consisted of:

 
  (In thousands)
Customer relationships   $ 4,200
Restrictive covenants     17,000
Goodwill     13,103
   
    $ 34,303
   

        The amounts allocated to the customer relationships of $4.2 million will be amortized over a 15-year period. The amounts allocated to the restrictive covenants of $17.0 million relate to the restrictive covenant agreement between the Company and Vertis in connection with the acquisition. The restrictive covenants will be amortized over the life of the agreement, which is 10 years.

        The results of operations from this acquisition are reported as part of the Marketing and Publishing Services business segment, and as such, all of its goodwill will be allocated to that segment. Substantially all of the goodwill will be fully amortizable for tax purposes.

        On June 16, 2006, the Company acquired through a wholly owned subsidiary substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of the Dixon Web operation of the Sleepeck Printing Company, a provider of innovative marketing services and products located in Dixon, Illinois, for approximately $12.5 million in cash. At the time of the acquisition, the name of the business was established as Dixon Direct Corp. ("Dixon"). The results of Dixon's operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date. The acquisition, combined with capital expenditures made at the Dixon facility subsequent to the transaction, significantly expand Visant's Marketing and Publishing Services capacity and production capabilities.

        The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 141. The cost of the acquisition was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their relative fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The estimates utilized to determine the purchase price allocation are considered final at December 30, 2006.

        The allocation of the purchase price was as follows:

Current assets   $ 3,851

        Dixon is reported as part of the Marketing and Publishing Services business segment, and as such, all of its goodwill will be allocated to that segment. Substantially all of the goodwill will be fully amortizable for tax purposes.

        These acquisitions, both individually and in the aggregate, were not material to the Company's operations, financial position or cash flows.

        Under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company is required to test goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators occur. The impairment test requires management to make judgments in connection with identifying reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets to reporting units, and determining the fair value of each reporting unit. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include projecting future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. The projections are based on management's best estimate given recent financial performance, market trends, strategic plans and other available information. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or impairment for each reporting unit. The impairment testing was completed as of the beginning of the fourth quarter, and there were no indications of impairment. However, unforeseen future events could adversely affect the reported value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, which at the end of 2006 and 2005 totaled approximately $1.2 billion for both periods.

11.   Debt

        As of the end of 2006 and 2005, the Company's debt obligations consisted of the following:

 
  2006

        Maturities of the Company's debt, at face value, as of the end of 2006 are as follows:

 
  (In thousands)
Holdings:      
2010 and thereafter   $ 597,200
Visant:

2009.    
2010.    
Thereafter     1,216,500
   
    $ 1,813,700
   

        During 2006, the Company voluntarily prepaid $100.0 million of term loans under its senior secured credit facilities, including all originally scheduled principal payments due under its Term Loans A and C for 2006 through mid-2011. With these pre-payments, the outstanding balance under the Term Loan C facility was reduced to $716.5 million. Amounts borrowed under the term loan facilities that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. As of December 30, 2006, there was $16.7 million outstanding in the form of letters of credit, leaving $233.3 million available under the $250 million revolving credit facility. Visant's senior secured credit facilities allow Visant, subject to certain conditions, to incur additional term loans under the Term Loan C facility, or under a new term facility, in either case in an aggregate principal of up to $300 million, which additional term loans will have the same security and guarantees as the Term Loan A and Term Loan C facilities. Additionally, restrictions under the Visant senior subordinated note indenture would limit Visant's ability to borrow the full amount of additional term loan borrowings under such a facility.

Holdings Senior Discount Notes and Senior Notes

        On December 2, 2003, the Company issued $247.2 million in principal amount of 10.25% senior discount notes (the "Holdings discount notes") due December 2013 in a private placement to a limited number of qualified institutional buyers, as defined under the Securities Act, and to a limited number of persons outside the United States for gross proceeds of $150.0 million. On March 8, 2004, the Company completed an offer to exchange the entire principal amount at maturity of these notes for an equal principal amount at maturity of notes with substantially identical terms that had been registered under the Securities Act.

        The Holdings discount notes are not collateralized, are subordinate in right of payment to all debt and other liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries, including its senior secured credit facilities and the Visant notes, and are not guaranteed. No cash interest will accrue on the Holdings discount notes prior to December 1, 2008. Thereafter, cash interest on the Holdings discount notes will accrue and be payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing June 1, 2009, at a rate of 10.25%. The Holdings discount notes were issued with an initial accreted value of $150.0 million, resulting in an original issuance discount of $97.2 million. The accreted value of the Holdings discount notes will increase from the date of issuance until December 1, 2008 at a rate of 10.25% per annum such that on December 1, 2008, the accreted value will equal the stated principal

F-30



amount at maturity. The Holdings discount notes will mature on December 1, 2013. The Holdings discount notes may be redeemed at the option of Holdings on or after December 1, 2008 at prices ranging from 105.125% of principal to 100% in 2011 and thereafter.

        The discount accretion is being amortized to interest expense through 2008 and during 2006 and 2005, the amount of interest expense related to the discount accretion was $19.9 million and $18.0 million, respectively. In addition, transaction fees and related costs of $5.7 million associated with the Holdings discount notes were capitalized and are being amortized as interest expense through December 1, 2013.

        At the end of the first quarter of 2006, Holdings privately placed $350.0 million of 83/4% Senior Notes (the "Holdings senior notes") due 2013, with settlement on April 4, 2006. As a result, on April 4, 2006, the Company received proceeds net of $9.3 million of deferred financing costs. All net proceeds from the offering were used to fund a dividend to stockholders of Holdings, which was paid on April 4, 2006. The Holdings senior notes are unsecured and are not guaranteed by any of the Company's subsidiaries and are subordinate in right of payment to all of Holdings' existing and future secured indebtedness and that of its subsidiaries, and senior in right of payment to all of Holdings' existing and future subordinated indebtedness. Cash interest on the Holdings senior notes accrues and is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1, commencing June 1, 2006, at a rate of 8.75%. The Holdings senior notes may be redeemed at the option of Holdings prior to December 1, 2008, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium. The senior notes may be redeemed at the option of Holdings on or after December 1, 2008, in whole or in part, in cash at prices ranging from 106.563% of principal in 2008 to 100.0% of principal in 2011 and thereafter. On October 10, 2006, Holdings consummated the exchange offer for all outstanding notes privately placed for an equal principal amount of registered notes.

        The transaction fees and related costs of $9.7 million associated with the Holdings senior notes were capitalized and are being amortized as interest expense through 2013.

        The indentures governing the Holdings discount notes and Holdings senior notes restrict Holdings and its restricted subsidiaries from declaring or paying dividends or making any other distribution (including any payment by Holdings or any restricted subsidiary of Holdings in connection with any merger or consolidation involving Holdings or any of its restricted subsidiaries) on account of Holdings' or any of its restricted subsidiaries' equity interests (other than dividends or distributions payable in certain equity interests and dividends payable to Holdings or any restricted subsidiary of Holdings), subject to certain exceptions.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

        On October 4, 2004, in connection with the Transactions, Visant entered into a Credit Agreement among Visant, as Borrower, Jostens, Ltd., as Canadian borrower, Visant Secondary Holdings Corp., as Guarantor, the lenders from time to time parties thereto, Credit Suisse First Boston, as Administrative Agent, and Credit Suisse First Boston Toronto Branch, as Canadian Administrative Agent, providing for senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate amount of $1,270.0 million consisting of $150.0 million of a Term Loan A facility, an $870.0 million Term B loan facility and a $250.0 million revolving credit facility. Visant's senior secured credit facilities allow us, subject to certain conditions, to incur additional term loans under the Term Loan C facility, or under a new term facility, in either case in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300.0 million. Additionally, restrictions under the Visant

F-31



senior subordinated note indenture would limit Visant's ability to borrow the full amount of additional term loan borrowings under such a facility. Any additional term loans will have the same security and guarantees as the Term Loan A and Term Loan C facilities.

        On December 21, 2004, Visant entered into the First Amendment (the "First Amendment") to the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 4, 2004 (as amended by the First Amendment, the "Credit Agreement"). The First Amendment provided for an $870 million Term C loan facility, the proceeds of which were used to repay in full the outstanding borrowings under the Term B loan facility. Visant effectively reduced the interest rate on its borrowings by 25 basis points by refinancing the Term B facility with a new Term C facility and did not incur any additional borrowings under the First Amendment.

        Visant's obligations under the senior secured credit facilities are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed jointly and severally by Visant Secondary Holdings Corp., a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings and the parent of Visant, and by Visant's material current and future domestic subsidiaries. The obligations of Visant's principal Canadian operating subsidiary under the senior secured credit facilities are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed jointly and severally by Visant Secondary Holdings Corp., by Visant, by Visant's material current and future domestic subsidiaries and by Visant's other current and future Canadian subsidiaries. Visant's obligations under the senior secured credit facilities, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of Visant's assets and substantially all of the assets of Visant Secondary Holdings Corp. and Visant's material current and future domestic subsidiaries, including but not limited to:

    all of Visant's capital stock and the capital stock of each of Visant's existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries, except that with respect to foreign subsidiaries such lien and pledge is limited to 65% of the capital stock of "first-tier" foreign subsidiaries; and

    substantially all of Visant's material existing and future domestic subsidiaries' tangible and intangible assets.

        The obligations of Jostens Canada Ltd. under the senior secured credit facilities, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by the collateral referred to in the prior paragraph and substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of Jostens Canada Ltd. and each of Visant's other current and future Canadian subsidiaries.

        The senior secured credit facilities require Visant to meet a maximum total leverage ratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum capital expenditures limitation. In addition, the senior secured credit facilities contain certain restrictive covenants which will, among other things, limit Visant's and its subsidiaries' ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, prepay subordinated debt, make investments, merge or consolidate, change the business, amend the terms of the Company's subordinated debt and engage in certain other activities customarily restricted in such agreements. It also contains certain customary events of default, subject to grace periods, as appropriate.

        The dividend restrictions under the Visant senior secured credit facilities apply only to Visant and Visant Secondary Holdings Corp., and essentially prohibit all dividends other than (1) for dividends paid on or after April 30, 2009 and used by Holdings to make regularly-scheduled cash interest payments on its senior discount notes, subject to compliance with the interest coverage covenant after giving effect to such dividends, (2) for other dividends so long as the amount thereof does not exceed $50 million plus an additional amount based on Visant's net income and the amount of any capital

F-32



contributions received by Visant after October 4, 2004 and (3) pursuant to other customary exceptions, including redemptions of stock made with other, substantially similar stock or with proceeds of concurrent issuances of substantially similar stock.

        The borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear a variable interest rate based upon either the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or an alternative base rate ("ABR") based upon the greater of the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, or the prime rate, plus a fixed margin. The interest rate per year on the Term A and Term C loan facilities is ABR or LIBOR plus a basis point spread. Both are subject to a step-down determined by reference to a performance test. The Term C loan facility will amortize on a semi-annual basis commencing on July 1, 2005 and mature on October 4, 2011 with amortization prior to the maturity date to be at nominal percentages. In addition, transaction fees and related costs of $38.1 million associated with the senior secured credit facilities were capitalized and are being amortized as interest expense over the lives of the facilities.

        The interest rate per year on the revolving credit facility was initially LIBOR plus 2.50% or ABR plus 1.50% (or, in the case of Canadian dollar denominated loans, the bankers' acceptance discount rate plus 2.50% or the Canadian prime rate plus 1.50%) and are subject to adjustment based on pricing grid. The revolving credit facility contains a sub-facility that allows the Company's Canadian subsidiary to borrow funds not to exceed $20.0 million of the total $250.0 million facility. The revolving credit facility expires on October 4, 2009. At the end of 2006, there was $16.7 million outstanding in the form of letters of credit, leaving $233.3 million available under this facility. The Company is obligated to pay commitment fees of 0.50% on the unused portion of this facility. The interest rate on the revolving credit facility and the commitment fee rate are both subject to step-downs determined by reference to a performance test.

Visant Senior Subordinated Notes

        On October 4, 2004, in connection with the Transactions, Visant issued $500 million in principal amount of 7.625% senior subordinated notes (the "Visant notes") due October 2012 in a private placement to a limited number of qualified institutional buyers, as defined under the Securities Act, and to a limited number of persons outside the United States. On March 30, 2005, the Company completed an offer to exchange the entire principal amount of these notes for an equal principal amount of notes with substantially identical terms that have been registered under the Securities Act.

        The Visant notes are not collateralized, are subordinate in right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness of Visant and its subsidiaries and are guaranteed by all restricted subsidiaries that are domestic subsidiaries and guarantee the senior secured credit facilities. Cash interest on the Visant notes accrues and is payable semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing April 1, 2005, at a rate of 7.625%. The Visant notes may be redeemed at the option of Visant on or after October 1, 2008 at prices ranging from 103.813% of principal to 100% of principal in 2010 and thereafter. In addition, transaction fees and related costs of $22.8 million associated with the Visant notes were capitalized and are being amortized as interest expense through October 1, 2012.

        The indenture governing the Visant notes restricts Visant and its restricted subsidiaries from paying dividends or making any other distributions on account of Visant's or any restricted subsidiary's equity interests (including any dividend or distribution payable in connection with any merger or consolidation) other than (1) dividends or distributions by Visant payable in equity interests of Visant

F-33



or in options, warrants or other rights to purchase equity interests or (2) dividends or distributions by a restricted subsidiary, subject to certain exceptions.

Additional Information

        The indentures governing the Holdings discount notes, the Holdings senior notes and the Visant senior subordinated notes also contain numerous covenants including, among other things, restrictions on the Company's ability to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue disqualified or preferred stock; pay dividends or make other equity distributions; repurchase or redeem capital stock; make investments or other restricted payments; sell assets or consolidate or merge with or into other companies; create limitations on the ability of restricted subsidiaries to make dividends or distributions to the Company; engage in transactions with affiliates; and create liens.

        Visant's senior secured credit facilities and the Visant and Holdings notes contain certain cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions whereby a default under or acceleration of other debt obligations would cause a default under or acceleration of the senior secured credit facilities and the notes.

        As of the end of 2006, the fair value of debt, excluding the Holdings discount notes, the Holdings senior notes and the Visant notes, approximated its carrying value and is estimated based on quoted market prices for comparable instruments. The fair value of the Holdings discount notes, the Holdings senior notes and the Visant notes as of the end of 2006 was $219.4 million, $361.4 million and $507.5 million, respectively, and was estimated based on quoted market prices of the respective notes.

        A failure to comply with the covenants under the senior secured credit facilities, subject to certain grace periods, would constitute a default under the senior secured credit facilities, which could result in an acceleration of the loans and other obligations owing thereunder.

        As of December 30, 2006, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its material debt obligations.

12.   Redeemable Preferred Stock

        In connection with the 2003 Jostens merger, Visant issued 8% senior redeemable preferred stock (the "Visant preferred stock") to the DLJMBP Funds and received proceeds of $100.0 million. A portion of the net proceeds from the Holdings discount notes offering was used to purchase all of the outstanding Visant preferred stock for $102.8 million, which Holdings contributed to the capital of Visant.

        In conjunction with the Transactions as described in Note 2, all outstanding shares of redeemable preferred stock of Jostens and Arcade, together with accrued dividends, were redeemed in full.

13.   Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

        The Company's involvement with derivative financial instruments is limited principally to managing well-defined interest rate and foreign currency exchange risks. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts may be used to hedge the impact of currency fluctuations primarily on inventory purchases denominated in euros. There were no open forward foreign currency exchange contracts at the end of 2006 and 2005.

Leases

        Equipment and office, warehouse and production space under operating leases expire at various dates. Rent expense for continuing operations was $6.4 million for 2006, $6.2 million for 2005 and $7.1 million for 2004. Future minimum lease payments under the leases are as follows:

Total lease payments   $ 23,554
   

Forward Purchase Contracts

        The Company is subject to market risk associated with changes in the price of precious metals. To mitigate the commodity price risk, the Company may from time to time enter into forward contracts to purchase gold, platinum and silver based upon the estimated ounces needed to satisfy projected customer demand. The purchase commitment at the end of 2006 was $13.2 million with delivery dates occurring throughout 2007. These forward purchase contracts are considered normal purchases and therefore not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133. The fair market value of the open precious metal forward contracts at the end of 2006 was $14.1 million based on quoted futures prices for each contract.

Environmental

        Our operations are subject to a wide variety of federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations governing emissions to air, discharges to water, the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of hazardous substances and other materials, and employee health and safety matters. Compliance with such laws and regulations have been more stringent and, accordingly, more costly over time.

        Also, as an owner and operator of real property or a generator of hazardous substances, we may be subject to environmental cleanup liability, regardless of fault, pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act or analogous state laws, as well as to claims for harm to health or property or for natural resource damages arising out of contamination or exposure to hazardous substances. Some of our current or past operations have involved metalworking and plating, printing, and other activities that have resulted in environmental conditions that have given rise to liabilities.

        As part of our environmental management program, we have been involved in environmental remediation on a property formerly owned and operated by Jostens for jewelry manufacturing. Although Jostens no longer owns the site, Jostens managed the remediation project, which began in

F-35



2000. As of December 30, 2006, Jostens had made payments totaling $8.0 million for remediation at this site. During 2001, Jostens received reimbursement from its insurance carrier in the amount of $2.7 million, net of legal costs. In July 2006, the State of Illinois Environmental Protection Agency issued a "No Further Remediation" letter with respect to this site. Jostens has certain ongoing monitoring obligations. We do not expect the cost of such ongoing monitoring to be material.

        While Jostens may have an additional right of contribution or reimbursement under insurance policies, amounts recoverable from other entities with respect to a particular site are not considered until recoveries are deemed probable.

Legal Proceedings

        In communications with U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("Customs"), we learned of an alleged inaccuracy of the tariff classification for certain of Jostens' imports from Mexico. Jostens promptly filed with Customs a voluntary disclosure to limit its monetary exposure. The effect of these tariff classification errors is that back duties and fees (or "loss of revenue") may be owed on certain imports. Additionally, Customs may impose interest on the loss of revenue, if any is determined. A review of Jostens' import practices has revealed that during the relevant period, Jostens' merchandise qualified for duty-free tariff treatment under the North American Free Trade Agreement ("NAFTA"), in which case there should be no loss of revenue or interest payment owed to Customs. However, Customs' allegations indicate that Jostens committed a technical oversight in claiming the preferential tariff treatment. Through its prior disclosure to Customs, Jostens addressed this technical oversight and asserted that the merchandise did in fact qualify for duty-free tariff treatment under NAFTA and that there is no associated loss of revenue. In a series of communications received from Customs in December 2006, Jostens received a pre-penalty notice that Customs is disputing the validity of Jostens' prior disclosure and asserting a loss of revenue in the amount of $2.9 million for duties owed on entries made in 2002 and 2003 and in a separate communication was advised that Customs is contemplating a monetary penalty in the amount of approximately $5.8 million (two times the alleged loss of revenue). In order to obtain the benefits of the orderly continuation and conclusion of administrative proceedings, Jostens agreed to a two year waiver of the statute of limitations with respect to the entries made in 2002 and 2003 that otherwise would have expired at the end of 2007 and 2008, respectively. Jostens has elected to continue to address this matter by filing a petition in response to the pre-penalty notice. This petition was filed in January 2007 disputing Customs' claims and advancing its arguments to support that no loss of revenue or penalty should be issued against the Company, or in the alternative, that any penalty based on a purely technical violation should be reduced to a nominal fixed amount reflective of the nature of the violation. The penalty proceeding is in the early stages, and it is not clear what Customs' final position will be with respect to the alleged tariff classification errors or that Jostens will not be foreclosed under statute from making post-entry NAFTA claims for the subject imports. Jostens intends to continue to vigorously defend its position and has recorded no accrual for any potential liability. However, Jostens may not be successful in its defense, and the disposition of this matter may have a material effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        We are also a party to other litigation arising in the normal course of business. We regularly analyze current information and, as necessary, provide accruals for probable liabilities on the eventual

F-36



disposition of these matters. We do not believe the effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, if any, for the disposition of these matters will be material.

        During 2006, Holdings was notified by the Internal Revenue Service that the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation had approved a claim for refund by Jostens for the taxable years 2000 and 2001. The Company received a federal refund of approximately $7.6 million, including $1.2 million of interest. A substantial portion of the tax refund was recorded as a reduction of goodwill of $4.9 million and was attributable to the resolution of an income tax uncertainty that arose in connection with a purchase business combination completed by Jostens in May 2000.

        As described in Note 6, the Company completed the sale of its Jostens Photography businesses, which previously comprised a reportable segment. The tax effects of the sale and the related results of operations have been reported as loss from discontinued operations in 2006.

        During 2006, the Canadian subsidiary of Holdings repatriated $31.5 million of earnings attributed primarily to the gain on sale of the Jostens Photography businesses. Another foreign subsidiary of Holdings repatriated $1.6 million of earnings during 2006. The tax effects of the Canadian distribution are reflected in the results from discontinued operations. Foreign tax credit carryforwards and the related valuation allowance are reflected in the continuing operations balance sheet. As a result of the sale of the Jostens Photography businesses, the Company realized approximately $2.1 million of tax benefit attributable to foreign tax credit carryforwards which resulted in a decrease in the Company's valuation allowance. In connection with the repatriation, the Company concluded that approximately $7.3 million of undistributed foreign earnings are indefinitely invested in its foreign businesses. At the

F-40



end of 2006, the Company had foreign tax credit carryforwards totaling $13.4 million of which approximately $11.4 million expire in 2012, $1.1 million expire in 2013 and $0.9 million expire in 2015. The Company has provided a valuation allowance for the entire related deferred tax asset because the tax benefit related to the foreign tax credits may not be realized.

        During 2006, the Company determined that its $0.7 million valuation allowance for capital loss carryovers was no longer required because the Company generated capital gains in connection with the sale of property used in continuing operations.

        During 2006, the Company adjusted the effective tax rate at which it expects deferred tax assets and liabilities to be realized or settled in the future. The effect of the adjustment was to decrease income tax expense from continuing operations by $2.9 million and $3.3 million for Holdings and Visant, respectively. The change in effective tax rate was required to reflect the effect of the Company's 2005 state income tax returns which included a complete year's results of operations for companies it began to include in the fourth quarter of 2004 as a result of the Transactions.

        During 2005, two foreign subsidiaries of Holdings repatriated a total of $12.6 million of earnings that were eligible for the favorable rate of tax provided under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. The benefit of the repatriation in relation to the tax that would otherwise have been payable was approximately $2.7 million. In connection with the repatriation, the Company concluded that approximately $6.0 million of undistributed foreign earnings were indefinitely invested in its foreign businesses. Consistent with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 23, "Accounting for Income Taxes—Special Areas", the Company reduced income tax expense from continuing operations by $1.1 million to reverse deferred income taxes that had been accrued at December 2004. The overall tax effect of the repatriation in December 2005, including the effect of reducing accrued deferred income taxes, was to decrease income tax expense from continuing operations by approximately $0.7 million. The overall effect of the repatriation on discontinued operations was to increase income tax expense by approximately $1.2 million. During 2004 the Company provided deferred income taxes of $0.2 million on approximately $3.3 million of undistributed Canadian earnings that were not considered indefinitely invested at that time.

        During 2004, in connection with the Transactions, as further described in Note 2, the Company acquired the stock of Von Hoffmann and Arcade and refinanced its credit facilities. As part of the refinancing, two applicable high yield debt obligations were refinanced resulting in approximately $56.0 million of interest deductions. The effect of these deductions, along with certain other refinancing costs, contributed to a consolidated net operating loss for income tax purposes for 2004 of approximately $113.0 million for each of Holdings and Visant. For taxable periods prior to the Transaction date, Von Hoffmann and Arcade filed separate federal and state tax returns reflecting the taxable results of their consolidated separate operations. As described in Note 6, the results of Von Hoffmann are reported as discontinued operations including the taxable results prior to the Transaction date. The taxable results of Arcade and other retained entities of the Marketing and Publishing Services segment for periods prior to the Transaction date are included in the amounts reported above for the U.S. and foreign components of income (loss) from continuing operations, the income tax rate reconciliation with the U.S. federal statutory rate and the tax effect of temporary differences which give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities.

F-41



        During 2004, in connection with the repayment of one of the high yield debt obligations, the Company reduced a deferred tax asset valuation allowance by $12.5 million. Prior to the transaction, the allowance had been established because it was more likely than not that the related tax benefit would not be realized.

        During 2003, the Company filed an appeal with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) concerning a proposed adjustment of approximately $8.0 million in connection with its audit of Jostens' federal income tax returns filed for years 1996 through 1998. On February 1, 2005, the IRS notified the Company that agreement had been reached wherein no further deficiency or overassessment remained for the years 1996 through 1998. Based on the IRS notification, the Company recorded an adjustment in 2004 reducing tax reserves and goodwill by $11.0 million for the tax and related interest attributable to the contested liability.

        As described in Note 11, during December 2003, Holdings issued $150 million of senior discount notes due 2013. The notes have significant original issue discount ("OID") and are considered applicable high yield discount obligations because the yield to maturity of the notes exceeds the sum of the applicable federal rate in effect for the month the notes were issued and five percentage points. As a result, Holdings will not be allowed a deduction for interest (including OID) accrued on the notes until such time as it actually pays such interest (including OID) in cash or other property. Holdings has provided deferred income taxes of approximately $19.6 million on $54.1 million of OID accrued through December 2006.

16.    Benefit Plans

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

        Jostens has noncontributory defined benefit pension plans that cover nearly all employees. The benefits provided under the plans are based on years of service, age eligibility and employee compensation. The benefits for Jostens' qualified pension plans have been funded through pension trusts, the objective being to accumulate sufficient funds to provide for future benefits. In addition to qualified pension plans, Jostens has unfunded, non-qualified pension plans covering certain employees, which provide for benefits in addition to those provided by the qualified plans.

        Effective December 31, 2005, the pension plans were closed to newly hired nonunion employees. Pension benefits for current salaried nonunion employees were modified to provide a percentage of career average earnings, rather than final average earnings for service after January 1, 2006 except for certain grandfathered employees who met specified age and service requirements as of December 31, 2005.

        Jostens also provides certain medical benefits for eligible retirees, including their spouses and dependents. Generally, the postretirement benefits require contributions from retirees. Effective January 1, 2006, the retiree medical plan was closed to active employees who were not yet age 50 with at least 10 years of service. Prescription drug coverage for Medicare eligible retirees was also eliminated from the program as of January 1, 2006. Visant is obligated for certain post-retirement benefits under the employment agreement with its Chief Executive Officer.

F-42


        Eligible employees from The Lehigh Press, Inc. participate in a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan, which was merged with a Jostens plan effective December 31, 2004. The plan provides benefits based on years of service and final average compensation. Effective December 31, 2006 the pension plan was closed to hourly nonunion employees hired after December 31, 2006 and benefit accruals were frozen for all salaried nonunion employees. In addition, Von Hoffmann maintains an unfunded supplemental retirement plan (SRP) for certain key executives of Lehigh Press. The SRP no longer has any active participants accruing benefits under the SRP. Based on an announcement made prior to holding the Von Hoffmann businesses as discontinued operations, effective January 1, 2007, eligible plant hourly employees from Von Hoffmann's Jefferson City location employed as of December 31, 2006 were added to the Jostens defined pension plan, Plan C. This closed group of employees began accruing benefits on January 1, 2007. These employees will no longer participate in the plan following the disposition of Von Hoffmann. Von Hoffmann also contributes to a multi-employer pension plan covered by labor union contracts. Contribution amounts are determined by contract and we do not administer or control the funds in any way.

        The following tables set forth the components of the changes in benefit obligations and fair value of plan assets during 2006 and 2005 as well as the funded status and amounts both recognized and not recognized in the balance sheets as of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, for all defined benefit plans combined. The information presented for all the plans is based on a measurement date of

        During 2006, the discount rate assumption changed from 5.75% to 6.00% for the pension and postretirement plans which resulted in a decrease in liability. Asset returns in 2006 were slightly below expectations and salary increases were higher than expected. The plan demographic and asset experience combined with changes in assumptions resulted in a net gain for 2006.

F-44



        The accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) for all defined benefit pension plans was $257.4 million and $255.1 million at the end of 2006 and 2005, respectively. The ABO differs from the projected benefit obligation shown in the table in that it includes no assumption about future compensation levels.

        We employ a building block approach in determining the long-term rate of return for plan assets. Historical markets are studied and long-term historical relationships between equities and fixed income are preserved congruent with the widely accepted capital market principle that assets with higher volatility generate a greater return over the long run. Current market factors such as inflation and interest rates are evaluated before long-term capital market assumptions are determined. The long-term portfolio return is established with a proper consideration of diversification and rebalancing. Peer data and historical returns are reviewed to check for reasonability and appropriateness.

        We employ a total return investment approach whereby a mix of equities and fixed income investments are used to maximize the long-term return of plan assets for a prudent level of risk. The intent of this strategy is to minimize plan expenses by outperforming plan liabilities over the long run. Risk tolerance is established through careful consideration of plan liabilities, plan funded status, and corporate financial condition. The investment portfolio contains a diversified blend of equity and fixed income investments. Furthermore, equity investments are diversified across U.S. and non-U.S. stocks as well as growth, value, and small and large capitalizations. Derivatives may be used to gain market exposure in an efficient and timely manner, however, derivatives may not be used to leverage the portfolio beyond the market value of the underlying investments. Investment risk is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through annual liability measurements, periodic asset/liability studies and quarterly investment portfolio reviews.

Contributions

        Due to the funded status of the qualified plans, there are no projected contributions for 2007. The total contributions do include $2.0 million to the nonqualified pension plans and $0.4 million to the postretirement benefit plans. The actual amount of contributions is dependent upon the actual return on plan assets and actual disbursements from the postretirement benefit and nonqualified pension plans.

401(k) Plans

        We have 401(k) savings plans, which cover substantially all salaried and hourly employees who have met the plans' eligibility requirements. We provide a matching contribution on amounts contributed by employees, limited to a specific amount of compensation that varies among the plans. In some instances, we have provided discretionary profit sharing contributions and we may do so in the future. The aggregate matching and other contributions for the continuing operations were $4.2 million for 2006, $4.8 million for 2005, and $4.9 million for 2004. The aggregate matching contributions for the discontinued operations 401(k) savings plans that we are disposing of were $4.7 million for 2006, $4.7 million for 2005, and $5.1 million for 2004.

        On December 15, 2006, we merged the Jostens, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan and the Jostens, Inc. Topeka Union 401(k) Pre-Tax Retirement Savings Plan into the Von Hoffmann Corporation and Arcade Marketing, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan and renamed the Plan the Visant 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan. On January 1, 2007, Lehigh Press Inc. salaried, office administrative and newly hired nonunion hourly employees became eligible for the Visant 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan. Employees who had been participating in the Lehigh Press, Inc. Investment Opportunity Plan had their account balances transferred to the Visant Plan on December 29, 2006.

17.    Stock-based Compensation

        The 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2003 Plan") was approved by the Board of Directors and effective as of October 30, 2003. The 2003 Plan permits us to grant key employees and certain other persons stock options and stock awards and provides for a total of 288,023 shares of common stock for issuance of options and awards to employees of the Company and a total of 10,000 shares of common stock for issuance of options and awards to directors and other persons providing services to the Company. The maximum grant to any one person shall not exceed in the aggregate 70,400 shares. We do not currently intend to make any additional grants under the 2003 Plan. Option grants consist of "time options", which vest and become exercisable in annual installments over the first five years following the date of grant and/or "performance options", which vest and become exercisable over the first five years following the date of grant at varying levels based on the achievement of certain EBITDA targets, and in any event by the eighth anniversary of the date of grant. The performance

F-48



vesting includes certain carryforward provisions if targets are not achieved in a particular fiscal year and performance in a subsequent fiscal year satisfies cumulative performance targets, subject to certain conditions. Upon the occurrence of a "change in control" (as defined in the 2003 Plan), the unvested portion of any time option will immediately become vested and exercisable, and the vesting and exercisability of the unvested portion of any performance option may accelerate depending on the timing of the change of control and return on the equity investment by DLJMBP III in the Company as provided under the 2003 Plan. A "change in control" under the 2003 Plan is defined as: (i) any person or other entity (other than any of Holdings' subsidiaries), including any "person" as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, other than certain of the DLJMBP Funds or affiliated parties thereof becoming the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, by way of merger, consolidation or other business combination, securities of Holdings representing more than 51% of the total combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of Holdings (or its successor) normally entitled to vote for the election of directors of Holdings or (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the property or assets of Holdings to any unaffiliated person or entity other than one of Holdings' subsidiaries is consummated. The Transactions did not constitute a change of control under the 2003 Plan. Options issued under the 2003 Plan expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. The shares underlying the options are subject to certain transfer and other restrictions set forth in that certain Stockholders Agreement dated July 29, 2003, by and among the Company and certain holders of the capital stock of the Company. Participants under the 2003 Plan also agree to certain restrictive covenants with respect to confidential information of the Company and non-competition in connection with their receipt of options.

        All outstanding options to purchase Holdings common stock continued following the closing of the Transactions. In connection with the Transactions, all outstanding options to purchase Von Hoffmann and Arcade common stock were cancelled and extinguished. Consideration paid in respect of the Von Hoffmann options was an amount equal to the difference between the per share merger consideration in the Transactions and the exercise price therefor. No consideration was paid in respect of the Arcade options.

        In connection with the closing of the Transactions, we established the 2004 Stock Option Plan, which permits us to grant key employees and certain other persons of the Company and its subsidiaries various equity-based awards, including stock options and restricted stock. The plan, currently known as the Third Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Option Plan for Key Employees of Visant Holding Corp. and Subsidiaries (the "2004 Plan"), provides for issuance of a total of 510,230 shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock. As of December 30, 2006 there were 54,686 shares available for grant under the 2004 Plan. Shares related to grants that are forfeited, terminated, cancelled or expire unexercised become available for new grants. Under his employment agreement, Mr. Marc L. Reisch, the Chairman of our Board of Directors and our Chief Executive Officer and President, received awards of stock options and restricted stock under the 2004 Plan. Additional members of management have also received grants under the 2004 Plan. Option grants consist of "time options", which vest and become exercisable in annual installments through 2009, and/or "performance options", which vest and become exercisable following the date of grant based upon the achievement of certain EBITDA and other performance targets, and in any event by the eighth anniversary of the date of grant. The performance vesting includes certain carryforward provisions if targets are not achieved in a particular fiscal year and performance in a subsequent fiscal year satisfies cumulative performance targets. Upon the occurrence of a "change in control" (as defined under the 2004 Plan), the unvested portion of any time option will

F-49


immediately become vested and exercisable, and the vesting and exercisability of the unvested portion of any performance option may accelerate if certain EBITDA or other performance measures have been satisfied. A "change in control" under the 2004 Plan is defined as: (i) the sale (in one or a series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of Holdings to an unaffiliated person; (ii) a sale (in one transaction or a series of transactions) resulting in more than 50% of the voting stock of Holdings being held by an unaffiliated person; (iii) a merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization of Holdings with or into an unaffiliated person; if and only if any such event listed in (i) through (iii) above results in the inability of the Sponsors, or any member of members of the Sponsors, to designate or elect a majority of the Board (or the board of directors of the resulting entity or its parent company). The option exercise period is determined at the time of grant of the option but may not extend beyond the end of the calendar year that is ten calendar years after the date of the option is granted. All options, restricted shares and any common stock for which such equity awards are exercised or with respect to which restrictions lapse are governed by a management stockholders' agreement and sale participation agreement. As of December 30, 2006, there were 170,876 options vested under the 2004 Plan and 171,029 unvested and subject to vesting.

        Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company applied the intrinsic method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Since all options previously granted to employees were "at the money", no compensation cost was reflected in net income (loss). For the years ended December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively, the Company's pro forma net income (loss) incorporating the stock-based compensation expense provisions under SFAS No. 123, Share-based Payment, would not have been materially different than reported net income.

        Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, which requires the recognition of compensation expense related to all equity awards based on the fair values of the awards at the grant date. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company used the minimum value method in its SFAS No. 123 pro forma disclosure and therefore applied the prospective transition method as of the effective date. Under the prospective transition method, the Company would recognize compensation expense for equity awards granted, modified and canceled subsequent to the date of adoption.

        On April 4, 2006, the Company declared and paid a special cash dividend of $57.03 per share to the common stockholders of Holdings. In connection with the special cash dividend, on April 4, 2006, the exercise prices of issued and outstanding options as of April 4, 2006 under the 2003 Plan and the 2004 Plan were reduced by an amount equal to the dividend. The 2003 and 2004 Plans and underlying stock option agreements contain provisions that provide for anti-dilutive protection in the case of certain extraordinary corporate transactions, such as the special dividend, and the incremental compensation cost, defined as the difference in the fair value of the modified award immediately before and after the modification, was calculated as zero. As a result of the above modification, all stock option awards previously accounted for under APB No. 25 will be prospectively accounted for under SFAS No. 123R. Accordingly, no incremental compensation cost was recognized as a result of the modification.

        The Company had granted non-employee awards to the Company's directors and to certain related parties, as disclosed in Note 20, Related Party Transactions, prior to January 1, 2006, for which compensation expense has been recorded in 2006 and 2005.

        For the year ended December 30, 2006, the Company recognized total compensation expense related to stock options of approximately $0.2 million which is included in selling, general and

F-50



administrative expenses. For the year ended December 30, 2006, 94,537 options had vested. During the year ended December 30, 2006, no stock options were exercised.

        During the quarter and year ended December 30, 2006, the Company granted 3,000 shares of restricted Class A Common Stock to an officer of the Company under the 2004 Plan.

        During the quarter and year ended December 30, 2006, the Company granted 14,650 options under the 2004 Plan to certain employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. The per-share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during fiscal 2006 was $33.12 on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following key assumptions were used to value options issued:

 
  2006
 
Expected Life   6.3 years  
Expected Volatility   30.8 %

18.    Business Segments

        During the fourth quarter of 2005, we further disaggregated the Company's reportable segments, to reflect better our operations following the integration of the companies as a result of the Transactions and the manner in which the chief operating decision-maker regularly assesses the information for decision-making purposes.

        During the second quarter of 2006, we entered into definitive agreements to sell our Jostens Photography businesses, which previously comprised a reportable segment. This sale closed on June 30, 2006. Accordingly, this segment has been reported as discontinued operations (see Note 6).

F-51


        As of December 2006, our Von Hoffmann Holdings Inc., Von Hoffmann Corporation and Anthology, Inc. businesses were held as assets for sale. On January 3, 2007, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Von Hoffmann Stock Purchase Agreement") with R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company providing for the sale of Von Hoffmann Holdings Inc., Von Hoffmann Corporation and Anthology, Inc., which previously comprised the Educational Textbook segment and a portion of the Marketing and Publishing Services segment. This sale is subject to regulatory approval and is pending based on ongoing regulatory review through a second request by the Federal Trade Commission. The operations of Von Hoffmann businesses are reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. (see Note 6).

        On March 16, 2007, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Neff Holding Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Neff Motivation, Inc. Neff is a leading single source provider of custom award programs and apparel, including chenille letters and letter jackets, to the scholastic market segment. Neff will operate as a direct subsidiary of Visant under the Neff brand name and its results will be reported together with the results of Jostens scholastic operations as the renamed Scholastic segment.

        Our three reportable segments as of December 30, 2006 consist of:

    Jostens Scholastic—provides services related to the marketing, sale and production of class rings, graduation products and other scholastic products;

    Jostens Yearbook—provides services related to the publication, marketing, sale and production of school yearbooks; and

    Marketing and Publishing Services—produces multi-sensory and interactive advertising sampling systems, primarily for the fragrance, cosmetics and personal care market segments, and provides innovative products and services to the direct marketing sector. The group also produces book covers and other components for educational publishers.

Jostens

        Jostens provides school-related affinity products and services that help people celebrate important moments, recognize achievements and build affiliation. Jostens' products and services are predominantly offered to North American high school and college students, through a national network of primarily independent sales representatives and associates.

        Jostens' operations are reported in two segments: a) Jostens Scholastic and b) Jostens Yearbook

        Jostens Scholastic.    Jostens provides services related to the marketing, sale and production of class rings and an array of graduation products, such as caps, gowns, diplomas and announcements and graduation-related accessories. Jostens Scholastic serves U.S. high schools, colleges, universities and other specialty markets, marketing and selling scholastic products to students and administrators through independent sales representatives. Jostens provides customer service in the marketing and sale of class rings and certain other graduation products, which often involves customization. Jostens also provides ongoing warranty service on its class and affiliation rings. Jostens maintains product-specific tooling as well as a library of school logos and mascots that can be used repeatedly for specific school accounts over time. In addition to its class ring offerings, Jostens also designs, manufactures, markets and sells championship rings for professional sports and affinity rings for a variety of specialty markets.

F-52



        Jostens Yearbook.    Jostens provides services related to the publication, marketing, sale and production of yearbooks, primarily serving U.S. high schools, colleges, universities and middle schools. Jostens generates the majority of its revenues from high school accounts. Jostens' sales representatives and technical support employees assist students and faculty advisers with the planning and layout of yearbooks, including through the provision of on-line layout and editorial tools to assist in the publication of the yearbook. With a new class of students each year and periodic faculty advisor turnover, Jostens' independent sales representatives and customer service employees are the main point of continuity for the yearbook production process on a year-to-year basis.

Marketing and Publishing Services

        The Marketing and Publishing Services segment produces multi-sensory and interactive advertising sampling systems, primarily for the fragrance, cosmetics and personal care market segment, and innovative, highly personalized products primarily targeted to the direct marketing sector. The Marketing and Publishing Services segment is also a producer of supplemental materials and related components such as decorative covers and plastic transparencies for educational publishers. The Marketing and Publishing Services segment offers a portfolio of proprietary, patented and patent-pending technologies that can be incorporated into various marketing programs designed to reach the consumer at home or in-store, including magazine and catalog inserts, remittance envelopes, statement enclosures, blow-ins, direct mail, direct sell and point-of-sale materials and gift-with-purchase/purchase-with-purchase programs. The Company also specializes in higher quality in-line finished products and can accommodate large marketing projects with a wide range of dimensional products and in-line finishing production, data processing and mailing services. The personalized imaging capabilities offer individualized messages to each recipient within a geographical area or demographic group for targeted marketing efforts. This group also produces components for educational publishers.

19.    Common Stock

        Holdings' common stock, $0.01 par value per share, consists of Class A and Class C common stock. Holdings' charter also authorizes the issuance of non-voting Class B common stock, but currently no such shares are outstanding. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held for any matter coming before the stockholders of Holdings. The holder of the share of Class C common stock is entitled to a number of votes for any matter coming before the stockholders of Holdings equal to:

    (i)
    initially, the excess of (x) 50% percent of all votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding common stock for any matter coming before the stockholders of Holdings, over (y) the percentage of all votes entitled to be cast by the initial holder of the share of Class C common stock together with any permitted transferees of the initial holder, for any matter coming before the stockholders of Holdings by virtue of the shares of Class A common stock acquired by the initial holder pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, dated July 21, 2004, between Holdings and the initial holder, such excess determined based on the shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to October 4, 2004, giving effect to any shares of common stock acquired by the initial holder pursuant to the Contribution Agreement at the closing thereunder; and

    (ii)
    thereafter, the number of votes will be permanently reduced to an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) 50% percent of all votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding common

F-56


      stock for any matter coming before the stockholders of Holdings (as reduced by any shares of Class A common stock of Holdings issued on the date of the closing under the Contribution Agreement or thereafter to any person other than the initial holder), over (y) the percentage of all votes entitled to be cast by the initial holder, together with its transferees, for any matter coming before the stockholders of Holdings by virtue of the shares of Class A common stock then held by the initial holder, together with its transferees, not to exceed the percentage voting interest attributed to such share pursuant to clause (i) above; and

    (iii)
    if the share of Class C common stock is transferred by the initial holder (or its permitted transferee) to any person other than a permitted transferee of the initial holder, the share of Class C Common Stock will entitle the holder to the same voting rights as the share of Class C common stock entitled the holder immediately prior to the transfer.

        The share of Class C common stock will at all times entitle the holder to at least one vote on any matter coming before the stockholders of Holdings. In addition, the share of Class C common stock will automatically convert into one fully-paid and non-assessable share of Class A common stock (1) upon the consummation of an initial public offering or (2) upon the first occurrence that the share of Class C common stock is entitled to only one vote for any matter coming before the stockholders of Holdings, as more fully provided by the certificate of incorporation.

20.    Related Party Transactions

Transactions with Sponsors

Stockholders Agreement

        In connection with the Transactions, we entered into a stockholders agreement (the "2004 Stockholders Agreement") with an entity affiliated with KKR and entities affiliated with DLJMBP III (each an "Investor Entity" and together the "Investor Entities") that provides for, among other things,

    a right of each of the Investor Entities to designate a certain number of directors to our board of directors for so long as they hold a certain amount of our common stock. Of the eight members of our board of directors, KKR and DLJMBP III each has the right to designate four of our directors (and currently three KKR and two DLJMP III designees serve on our board) with our Chief Executive Officer and President, Marc L. Reisch, as chairman;

    certain limitations on transfer of our common stock held by the Investor Entities for a period of four years after the completion of the Transactions, after which, if we have not completed an initial public offering, any Investor Entity wishing to sell any of our common stock held by it must first offer to sell such stock to us and the other Investor Entities, provided that, if we complete an initial public offering during the four years after the completion of the Transactions, any Investor Entity may sell pursuant to its registration rights as described below;

    a consent right for the Investor Entities with respect to certain corporate actions;

    the ability of the Investor Entities to "tag-along" their shares of our common stock to sales by any other Investor Entity, and the ability of the Investor Entities to "drag-along" our common stock held by the other Investor Entities under certain circumstances;

F-57


    the right of the Investor Entities to purchase a pro rata portion of all or any part of any new securities offered by us; and

    a restriction on the ability of the Investor Entities and certain of their affiliates to own, operate or control a business that competes with us, subject to certain exceptions.

        Pursuant to the 2004 Stockholders Agreement, an aggregate transaction fee of $25.0 million was paid to the Sponsors upon the closing of the Transactions.

Management Services Agreement

        In connection with the Transactions, we entered into a management services agreement with the Sponsors pursuant to which the Sponsors provide certain structuring, consulting and management advisory services to us. Under the Agreement, during the term the Sponsors receive an annual advisory fee of $3.0 million, that is payable quarterly and which increases by 3% per year. We paid $3.1 million and $3.0 million as advisory fees to the Sponsors for the years ended December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The management services agreement also provides that we will indemnify the Sponsors and their affiliates, directors, officers and representatives for losses relating to the services contemplated by the management services agreement and the engagement of the Sponsors pursuant to, and the performance by the Sponsors of the services contemplated by, the management services agreement.

Registration Rights Agreement

        In connection with the Transactions, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the Investor Entities pursuant to which the Investor Entities are entitled to certain demand and piggyback rights with respect to the registration and sale of our common stock held by them.

Other

        We have retained Capstone Consulting from time to time to provide certain of our businesses with consulting services primarily to identify and advise on potential opportunities to improve operating efficiencies. Capstone Consulting received nil in 2006 and $2.1 million during 2005 for the services provided by them. Although neither KKR nor any entity affiliated with KKR owns any of the equity of Capstone Consulting, KKR has provided financing to Capstone Consulting. In March 2005, an affiliate of Capstone Consulting invested $1.3 million in our parent's Class A Common Stock and has been granted 13,527 options to purchase our parent's Class A Common Stock, with an exercise price of $96.10401 per share under the 2004 Stock Option Plan (the exercise price was reduced in connection with the dividend paid by Holdings to its stockholders on April 4, 2006, to $39.07 per share).

        We from time to time use the services of Merrill Corporation for financial printing. During 2006, Merrill received $0.3 million for services provided. Also, from time to time we provide printing services to Merrill Corporation. During 2006 we received $0.6 million for services provided to Merrill. DLJMBP has an ownership interest in Merrill. Additionally, Mr. John Castro, President and Chief Executive Officer of Merrill, is a former director of Holdings, and retains certain equity in the form of stock options under the 2003 Plan. Further, Mr. Thompson Dean, who served as a member of our Board until January 16, 2007, also served on the board of directors of Merrill while he was a member of our Board.

Transactions with Other Co-Investors and Management

Syndicate Stockholders Agreement

        In September 2003, Visant Holding, Visant, DLJMBP III and certain of its affiliated funds (collectively, the "DLJMB Funds") and certain of the DLJMB Funds' co-investors entered into a stock purchase and stockholders' agreement, or the Syndicate Stockholders Agreement, pursuant to which the DLJMB Funds sold to the co-investors shares of: (1) our Class A Common Stock, (2) our Class B Non-Voting Common Stock (which have since been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock) and (3) Visant's 8% Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock, which have since been repurchased.

        The Syndicate Stockholders Agreement contains provisions which, among other things:

    restrict the ability of the syndicate stockholders to make certain transfers;

    grant the co-investors certain board observation and information rights;

    provide for certain tag-along and drag-along rights;

    grant preemptive rights to the co-investors to purchase a pro rata share of any new shares of common stock issued by Visant Holding, Visant or Jostens to any of the DLJMB Funds or their successors prior to an initial public offering; and

    give the stockholders piggyback registration rights in the event of a public offering in which the DLJMB Funds sell shares.

Equity Incentive Plans and Management Stockholders Agreement

        The 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2003 Plan") was approved by the Board of Directors and effective as of October 30, 2003. The 2003 Plan permits us to grant key employees and certain other persons stock options and stock awards and provides for a total of 288,023 shares of common stock for issuance of options and awards to employees of the Company and a total of 10,000 shares of common stock for issuance of options and awards to directors and other persons providing services to the Company. The maximum grant to any one person shall not exceed in the aggregate 70,400 shares. We do not currently intend to make any additional grants under the 2003 Plan. Option grants consist of "time options", which vest and become exercisable in annual installments over the first five years following the date of grant and/or "performance options", which vest and become exercisable over the first five years following the date of grant at varying levels based on the achievement of certain EBITDA targets, and in any event by the eighth anniversary of the date of grant. The performance vesting includes certain carryforward provisions if targets are not achieved in a particular fiscal year and performance in a subsequent fiscal year satisfies cumulative performance targets, subject to certain conditions. Upon the occurrence of a "change in control" (as defined in the 2003 Plan), the unvested portion of any time option will immediately become vested and exercisable, and the vesting and exercisability of the unvested portion of any performance option may accelerate depending on the timing of the change of control and return on the equity investment by DLJMBP III in the Company as provided under the 2003 Plan. A "change in control" under the 2003 Plan is defined as: (i) any person or other entity (other than any of Holdings' subsidiaries), including any "person" as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, other than certain of the DLJMBP Funds or affiliated parties thereof becoming the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, by way of merger, consolidation or other business combination, securities of

F-59



Holdings representing more than 51% of the total combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of Holdings (or its successor) normally entitled to vote for the election of directors of Holdings or (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the property or assets of Holdings to any unaffiliated person or entity other than one of Holdings' subsidiaries is consummated. The Transactions did not constitute a change of control under the 2003 Plan. Options issued under the 2003 Plan expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. The shares underlying the options are subject to certain transfer and other restrictions set forth in that certain Stockholders Agreement dated July 29, 2003, by and among the Company and certain holders of the capital stock of the Company. Participants under the 2003 Plan also agree to certain restrictive covenants with respect to confidential information of the Company and non-competition in connection with their receipt of options.

        All outstanding options to purchase Holdings common stock continued following the closing of the Transactions. In connection with the Transactions, all outstanding options to purchase Von Hoffmann and Arcade common stock were cancelled and extinguished. Consideration paid in respect of the Von Hoffmann options was an amount equal to the difference between the per share merger consideration in the Transactions and the exercise price therefor. No consideration was paid in respect of the Arcade options.

        In connection with the closing of the Transactions, we established the 2004 Stock Option Plan, which permits us to grant key employees and certain other persons of the Company and its subsidiaries various equity-based awards, including stock options and restricted stock. The plan, currently known as the Third Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Option Plan for Key Employees of Visant Holding Corp. and Subsidiaries (the "2004 Plan"), provides for issuance of a total of 510,230 shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock. As of December 30, 2006 there were 56,986 shares available for grant under the 2004 Plan. Shares related to grants that are forfeited, terminated, cancelled or expire unexercised become available for new grants. Under his employment agreement, Mr. Marc L. Reisch, the Chairman of our Board of Directors and our Chief Executive Officer and President, received awards of stock options and restricted stock under the 2004 Plan. Additional members of management have also received grants under the 2004 Plan. Option grants consist of "time options", which vest and become exercisable in annual installments through 2009, and/or "performance options", which vest and become exercisable following the date of grant based upon the achievement of certain EBITDA and other performance targets, and in any event by the eighth anniversary of the date of grant. The performance vesting includes certain carryforward provisions if targets are not achieved in a particular fiscal year and performance in a subsequent fiscal year satisfies cumulative performance targets. Upon the occurrence of a "change in control" (as defined under the 2004 Plan), the unvested portion of any time option will immediately become vested and exercisable, and the vesting and exercisability of the unvested portion of any performance option may accelerate if certain EBITDA or other performance measures have been satisfied. A "change in control" under the 2004 Plan is defined as: (i) the sale (in one or a series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of Holdings to an unaffiliated person; (ii) a sale (in one transaction or a series of transactions) resulting in more than 50% of the voting stock of Holdings being held by an unaffiliated person; (iii) a merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization of Holdings with or into an unaffiliated person; if and only if any such event listed in (i) through (iii) above results in the inability of the Sponsors, or any member of members of the Sponsors, to designate or elect a majority of the Board (or the board of directors of the resulting entity or its parent company). The option exercise period is determined at the time of grant of the option but

F-60


may not extend beyond the end of the calendar year that is ten calendar years after the date of the option is granted.

        All options, restricted shares and any common stock for which such equity awards are exercised or with respect to which restrictions lapse are governed by a management stockholders' agreement and a sale participation agreement, which together generally provide for the following:

    transfer restrictions until the fifth anniversary of purchase, subject to certain exceptions;

    a right of first refusal by Holdings at any time after the fifth anniversary of purchase but prior to a registered public offering of the Class A Common Stock meeting certain specified criteria;

    in the event of termination of employment, call and put rights with respect to Holdings stock and outstanding and exercisable options;

    "piggyback" registration rights on behalf of the members of management;

    "tag-along" rights in connection with transfers by Fusion Acquisition LLC ("Fusion"), an entity controlled by investment funds affiliated with KKR, on behalf of the members of management and "drag-along" rights for Fusion and DLJMBP III; and

    a confidentiality provision and noncompetition and nonsolicitation provisions that apply for two years following termination of employment.

22.    Subsequent Event

        On January 3, 2007, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company providing for the sale of Von Hoffmann Holdings Inc., Von Hoffmann Corporation and Anthology, Inc., which were previously included in the Educational Textbook segment and a portion of the Marketing and Publishing Services segment. As discussed in Note 6, the operations of these companies have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements. The regulatory review of the proposed transaction through a second request by the Federal Trade Commission has been completed and the Company expects to close the transaction on or about May 16, 2007.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

        The following is a summary of the statutes, charter and bylaw provisions or other arrangements under which the Registrants' directors and officers are insured or indemnified against liability in their capacities as such. All of the directors and officers of the Registrants are covered by insurance policies maintained and held in effect by Visant Holding Corp. against certain liabilities for actions taken in their capacities as such, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

        Visant Corporation, Von Hoffmann Holdings Inc., Von Hoffmann Corporation, Precision Offset Printing Company, Inc., Anthology, Inc., AHC I Acquisition Corp., AKI Holding Corp., AKI, Inc., IST, Corp., Dixon Direct Corp., Neff Holding Company and Spice Acquisition Corp. are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "Delaware Statute") provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "proceeding"), other than an action by or in the right of such corporation, by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise (an "indemnified capacity"). The indemnity may include expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was illegal. Similar provisions apply to actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or director has actually and reasonably incurred. Section 145 of the Delaware Statute further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any indemnified person against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any indemnified capacity, or arising out of his status as such, regardless of whether the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him under the Delaware Statute.

        The amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Visant Corporation provides that indemnification may be provided to any person who was or is a party to any action, suit or proceeding to the fullest extent provided by the Delaware Statute. In addition, Visant Corporation shall indemnify its directors for all liabilities arising from a breach of fiduciary duty except (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to Visant Corporation or its stockholders, or (ii) for acts or omissions which are not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of the law, or

II-1



(iii) for any matter in respect of which such director shall be liable under Section 174 of Title 8 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any amendment thereto or successor provision thereto, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director shall have derived an improper personal benefit.

        Jostens, Inc. is incorporated under the laws of the State of Minnesota. Unless stated otherwise in the articles of incorporation or by-laws, Section 302A.521 of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act (the "MBCA") requires a Minnesota corporation to indemnify a person made a party to a proceeding by reason of his or her former or present official capacity with the corporation, against judgments, penalties, fines, including without limitation, excise taxes assessed against the person with respect to an employee benefit plan, settlements, and reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees and disbursements, incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding, if, with respect to the acts or omissions of the person complained of in the proceeding, the person:

    has not been indemnified by another organization or employee benefit plan for the same liabilities in connection with the same proceedings;

    acted in good faith;

    received no improper benefit;

    in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reason to believe the conduct was unlawful; and

    in the case of acts or omissions occurring in such person's official capacity as a director, officer or employee, the person reasonably believed that the conduct was in the best interests of the corporation, or at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation depending on the capacity in which that person is serving.

        Jostens, Inc.'s articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that Jostens, Inc. shall indemnify all directors and officers for such expenses and liabilities, in such manner, under such circumstances, and to the extent permitted by law.

        The MBCA states that a person made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding (as described above), is entitled, upon written request to the corporation, to payment or reimbursement by the corporation of reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees and disbursements, incurred by the person in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding, (1) upon receipt by the corporation of a written affirmation by the person of a good faith belief that the criteria for indemnification set forth in MBCA 302A.521 have been satisfied and a written undertaking by the person to repay all amounts so paid or reimbursed by the corporation, if it is ultimately determined that such criteria for indemnification have not been satisfied and (2) if, after a determination of the facts then known to those making the determination, such facts would not preclude indemnification under the statute. The applicability of this provision may be limited by a corporation's articles of incorporation or bylaws, however, Jostens, Inc.'s Articles and bylaws are silent with regard to the advancement of expenses.

        Jostens, Inc.'s articles of incorporation state that no director shall be personally liable to Jostens, Inc. or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except as otherwise required by law. While these provisions provide directors with protection from awards for monetary damages for breaches of their duty of care, they do not eliminate such duty. Accordingly, these provisions will have no effect on the availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or rescission based on a director's breach of his or her duty of care.

        Furthermore, the MBCA provides that the articles of incorporation of a corporation cannot eliminate or limit director's liability for:

    any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or shareholders;

II-2


    acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

    any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit; or

    any act or omission occurring prior to the date when the provision in the articles eliminating or limiting liability became effective.

        The Lehigh Press, Inc. is incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Pursuant to Sections 1741-1743 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law (the "PBCL"), The Lehigh Press, Inc. has the power to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities provided certain standards are met, including good faith and the belief that the particular action is in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In general, this power to indemnify does not exist in the case of actions against a director or officer by or in the right of the corporation if the person entitled to indemnification will have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and to the extent that the person is adjudged to be fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity. A corporation is required to indemnify directors and officers against expenses they may incur in defending actions against them in such capacities if they are successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of such actions.

        Section 1746 of the PBCL provides that the foregoing provisions shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification may be entitled under, among other things, any by-law provision, provided that no indemnification may be made in any case where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness.

        The Lehigh Press, Inc.'s by-laws provide for the mandatory indemnification of directors and officers in accordance with and to the full extent permitted by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as in effect at the time of such indemnification. The Lehigh Press, Inc.'s by-laws also eliminate, to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for any action taken, or any failure to take any action as a director, except in any case such elimination is not permitted by law.

        Neff Motivation, Inc. is an Ohio corporation. Section 1701.13(E) of the Ohio Revised Code gives a corporation incorporated under the laws of Ohio authority to indemnify or agree to indemnify its directors and officers, against certain liabilities they actually and reasonably incur in such capacities in connection with criminal or civil suits or proceedings, other than an action brought by or in the right of the corporation, provided that the directors or officers acted in good faith and in a manner that they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, the corporation may indemnify or agree to indemnify its directors and officers against certain liabilities they actually and reasonably incur in such capacities, provided that the directors or officers acted in good faith and in a manner that they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made to any director or officer in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which (a) the person is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of their duty to the company unless and only to the extent that the court of common pleas or the court in which the action or suit was brought determines, upon application, that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for expenses that the court considers proper or (b) any action or suit in which the only liability asserted against a director is pursuant to section 1701.95 of the Ohio Revised Code.

II-3



        Neff Motivation, Inc. has adopted provisions in its Code of Regulations that provide that it shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent provided by, or permissible under, Section 1701.13(E). Neff Motivation, Inc. is specifically authorized to take any and all further action to effectuate any indemnification of any director or officer that any Ohio corporation may have the power to take by any vote of the shareholders, vote of disinterested directors, by any agreement, or otherwise. Neff Motivation, Inc. may purchase and maintain contracts insuring the company against any liability to directors and officers they may incur under the above provisions for indemnification.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

        Our equity securities are not registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act. For the quarter ended December 30, 2006, we did not issue or sell securities pursuant to offerings that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), except (a) on November 30, 2006, Holdings granted 2,300 options to purchase Class A Common Stock with an exercise price of $130.45 per share to an employee under the 2004 Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated (the "2004 Plan"); (b) on December 1, 2006, Holdings granted 12,350 options to purchase Class A Common Stock with an exercise price of $130.45 per share to certain employees under the 2004 Plan; and (c) on December 15, 2006, Holdings issued 3,000 shares of restricted Class A Common Stock to one of our officers under the 2004 Plan, in each case in accordance with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

Item 17. Undertakings.

        The undersigned registrants hereby undertake:

        (1)    To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

        (A)    To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933.

        (B)    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

        (C)    To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

        (2)    That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        (3)    To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

        (4)    That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

        (5)    That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrants under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrants undertake that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrants pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrants will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

        (a)    Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrants relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

        (b)    Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrants or used or referred to by the undersigned registrants;

II-5



        (c)    The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrants or their securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrants; and

        (d)    Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrants to the purchaser.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrants pursuant to the provisions described under Item 14 or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrants will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

SIXTH.                                                       The Board of Directors of the Corporation, acting by majority vote, is expressly authorized to make, alter, amend or repeal the By-laws of the Corporation.

 

SEVENTH.

 

1.                                       To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, the Corporation shall indemnify, and advance expenses to, any person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Corporation shall not be required to indemnify any person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such person if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) was not authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The Corporation, by action of its Board of Directors, may provide indemnification or advance expenses to employees and agents of the Corporation or other persons only on such terms and conditions and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

2.                                       The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article Seventh shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any By-law, agreement, contract, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

 



 

3.                                       The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or while a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify him against such liability under the Delaware General Corporation Law or the provisions of this Article Seventh.

 

4.                                       The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article Seventh shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such officer or director. The indemnification and advancement of expenses that may have been provided to an employee or agent of the Corporation by action of the Board of Directors, pursuant to the last sentence of Paragraph 1 of this Article Seventh, shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be an employee or agent of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person, after the time such person has ceased to be an employee or agent of the Corporation, only on such terms and conditions and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.

DIXON ACQUISITION CORP.

 

 (hereinafter, the “Corporation”)

 

ARTICLE I

Section 1. Registered Office. The registered office of the Corporation shall be in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, State of Delaware.

 

Section 2. Other Offices. The Corporation may also have offices at such other places both within and without the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine.

 

ARTICLE II

MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

 

Section 1. Place of Meetings. Meetings of the stockholders for the election of directors or for any other purpose shall be held at such time and place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors.

 

Section 2. Annual Meetings. The Annual Meeting of Stockholders shall be held on such date and at such time as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors, at which meeting the stockholders shall elect a Board of Directors and transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

 

Section 3. Special Meetings. Special Meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board or the Board of Directors, but such Special Meetings may not be called by any other person or persons. Business transacted at any Special Meeting shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

 

Section 4. Notice of Meetings. Notice of an Annual Meeting or Special Meeting stating the place, date, and hour of the meeting and in the case of a Special Meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given by the Corporation either personally or by mail or by other lawful means not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting.

 

Section 5. Quorum . Except as otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority in voting power of the capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power

 



 

to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting of the time, place, if any, thereof and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders may be deemed present in person at such adjourned meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

 

Section 6. Voting. Except as otherwise provided by or pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by such stockholder which has voting power upon the matter in question. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by delivering to the Secretary of the Corporation a revocation of the proxy or a new proxy bearing a later date. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot. At all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect. All other elections and questions shall, unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, these By-laws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, or applicable law or pursuant to any regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock of the Corporation which are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon.

 

Section 7. Action by Consent. Any action required to be taken at any Annual or Special meeting of stockholders, or any action which may be taken at any Annual or Special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent shall be given by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that consents given by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation.

 

Section 8. List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. The Secretary shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, as required by applicable law. Except as otherwise provided by law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list of stockholders or the books of the Corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

 



 

Section 9. Organization. At every meeting of stockholders, the Chairman of the Board, if there be one, shall be the chairman of the meeting or, in the case of vacancy in office or absence of the Chairman of the Board, one of the following officers present shall be the Chairman of the meeting in the order stated:  the Vice Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the President, any Vice President, or, in the absence of any of the foregoing, a Chairman chosen by the stockholders at the meeting shall act as Chairman, and the Secretary, or in his or her absence, an Assistant Secretary, or in the absence of both the Secretary and Assistant Secretaries, a person appointed by the chairman of the meeting, shall act as Secretary.

 

Section 10. Record Date. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and which record date:  (i) in the case of determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders or adjournment thereof, shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting; (ii) in the case of determination of stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action without a meeting, shall not be more than ten days from the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors; and (iii) in the case of any other action, shall not be more than sixty days prior to such other action. If no record date is fixed:  (a) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; (b) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action without a meeting when no prior action of the Board of Directors is required by law, shall be the first day on which a consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation in accordance with applicable law, or, if prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law, shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action; and (c) the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

 

Section 11. Conduct of Meetings. The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting by the chairman of the meeting. The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate.

INDEMNIFICATION

 

Section 1. Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings Other than by or in the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a

 



 

party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The Corporation shall be required to provide the indemnification described in the immediately preceding sentence in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such person only if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the person was authorized by the Board of Directors. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

Section 2. Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation. The Corporation shall be required to provide the indemnification described in the immediately preceding sentence in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such person only if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the person was authorized by the Board of Directors. No indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought or the Delaware Court of Chancery shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

 

Section 3. Costs; Charges and Expenses. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article VII, to the extent that a present or former director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise, including without limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice, in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 and 2 above, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, that person shall be indemnified against all costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by that person or on that person’s behalf in connection therewith.

 

Section 4. Authorization of Indemnification. Any indemnification under this Article VII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in

 



 

the specific case upon a determination (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, (iii) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iv) by the stockholders, that indemnification of the director or officer is proper because that person has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Sections 1 and 2 above.

 

Section 5. Good Faith Defined. For purposes of any determination under this Article VII, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, if his action is based on the records or books of account of this Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to him by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or record given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The term “another enterprise” as used in this Section 5 shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or employee. The provisions of this Section 5 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person way be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article VII, as the case may be.

 

Section 6. Advance of Costs, Charges and Expenses. Costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a person referred to in Sections 1 and 2 above in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding (including investigations by any government agency and all costs, charges and expenses incurred in preparing for any threatened action, suit or proceeding) shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that the payment of such costs, charges and expenses incurred by a director or officer as set forth herein in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay all amounts so advanced in the event that it shall ultimately be determined as provided elsewhere in this Article VII that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VII. No security shall be required for such undertaking and such undertaking shall be accepted without reference to the recipient’s financial ability to make repayment. The Board of Directors may, in the manner set forth above, and subject to the approval of such director or officer of the Corporation, authorize the Corporation’s counsel to represent such person in any action, suit or proceeding, whether or not the Corporation is party to such action, suit or proceeding.

 

Section 7. Procedure for Indemnification. Any indemnification under Sections 1, 2 or 3 or advance of costs, charges and expenses under Section 6 of this Article VII shall be made promptly, and in any event, within sixty (60) days, upon the written request of the director or officer directed to the Secretary of the Corporation. The right to indemnification or advances granted in this Article VII shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction if the Corporation denies such request, in whole or part, or if no disposition thereof is made within sixty (60) days. Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in

 



 

connection with successfully establishing that person’s right to indemnification or advances, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the Corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for advance costs, charges and expenses under Section 6 of this Article VII where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article VII, but the burden of proving such standard of conduct has not been met shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel and its stockholders) to have made such a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article VII, nor the fact that there has been an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel and its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

Section 8. Non-Exclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article VII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any By-law, agreement, contract, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or pursuant to the direction (howsoever embodied) of any court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article VII shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article VII shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article VII but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or otherwise.

 

Section 9. Meaning of “Corporation” for Purposes of Article VII. For purposes of this Article VII, references to the “Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or, while a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VII with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

 

Section 10. Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such officer or director. The indemnification and advancement of expenses that may have been provided to an employee or agent of the Corporation by action of the Board of Directors shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be an employee or agent of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person, after the time such person has ceased to

 



 

be an employee or agent of the Corporation, only on such terms and conditions and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.

 

ARTICLE VIII

These By-laws may be altered, amended or repealed, in whole or in part, or new By-laws may be adopted by the majority vote of the entire Board of Directors.

The Corporation, on or after the Conversion Date (or, in the case of an Automatic Conversion, on or after the date of the Public Sale), upon the request of any holder of shares of Class B Common Stock to be so converted, will acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such holder (and any transferee of such holder) any rights (including, without limitation, any registration rights pursuant to any agreements with the Corporation) with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon such conversion to which such holder (or transferee) shall be entitled after such conversion; provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Corporation to afford to such holder (or transferee) all such rights.

 

3.6           Delivery of Stock Certificates . As promptly as practicable after the Conversion Date (or, in the case of an Automatic Conversion, the date of the Public Sale), the Corporation will, at its expense, issue and deliver to the holder of the shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon a conversion hereunder, or as such holder may direct, (a) a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock so issued upon such conversion and (b) in the case of the conversion of less than all of the shares of Class B Common Stock represented by a Surrendered Common Share Certificate, a new certificate for a number of shares of Class B Common Stock equal to the unconverted shares represented by the Surrendered Common Share Certificate (such new certificate to be dated so that there will be no loss of dividends, whether then declared or undeclared, on the unconverted shares of Class B Common Stock represented by such Surrendered Common Share Certificate); provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue any certificate for shares of Class A Common Stock

 

5



 

or for shares of Class B Common Stock pursuant to this Section B.3 of this Article FOURTH unless and  until the holder of shares of Class B Common Stock to be converted shall have delivered the Surrendered Common Share Certificate to the Corporation (or an affidavit of lost certificate and indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation).

 

3.7           Other Provisions.

 

(a)           Stock Reserved for Issuance. The Corporation will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion as provided in this Section B.3 of this Article FOURTH, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as are then issuable pursuant to this Section B.3 of this Article FOURTH upon the conversion of all then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock hereunder. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time there shall be an insufficient number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock available for issuance upon conversion hereunder of all then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, the Corporation will take all action necessary to propose and recommend to the stockholders of the Corporation that the Certificate of Incorporation be amended to authorize additional shares of Class A Common Stock in an amount sufficient to provide an adequate number of shares of Class A Common Stock for issuance upon such conversion, including the diligent solicitation of votes and proxies to vote in favor of such an amendment. All shares of Class A Common Stock which are issuable upon conversion hereunder will, when so issued, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

(b)           Issuance Expenses. The issuance of certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock pursuant to this Section B.3 of this Article FOURTH will be made without charge to any holder of any shares of Class B Common Stock to be converted for any issuance tax in respect thereof or any other cost incurred by the Corporation in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock.

 

(c)           Closing of Books. The Corporation will at no time close its transfer books against the transfer of any shares issued or issuable upon the conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Section B.3 of this Article FOURTH in any manner which interferes with the timely and otherwise rightful conversion of such shares of Class B Common Stock.

 

(d)           Stock Splits, Combinations, Dividends, Etc.  If the Corporation at any time or from time to time (i) subdivides or combines the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock or declares a dividend or any other distribution (including any dividend payable in shares of Class A Common Stock (or payable in securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Class A Common Stock)) on the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock or effects any other similar transaction with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock, then contemporaneously therewith the Corporation will proportionately subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock or declare an identical dividend or other distribution on the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock or effect such other similar transaction with respect to the shares of Class B Common Stock; or (ii) subdivides or combines the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock or declares a dividend or any

 

6



 

other distribution (including any dividend payable in shares of Class B Common Stock (or payable in securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Class B Common Stock)) on the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock or effects any other similar transaction with respect to the shares of Class B Common Stock, then contemporaneously therewith the Corporation will proportionately subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock or declare an identical dividend or other distribution on the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock or effect such other similar transaction with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock; provided that, in the case of any dividend payable in shares of Common Stock (or payable in securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock), such dividend shall be payable on each class of shares of Common Stock in shares of the same class (or payable in securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock of the same class).

 

(e)           Restrictions on Conversion. Any other provision in this Article FOURTH notwithstanding, no Person which is a bank holding company or a subsidiary of a bank holding company (a “Bank Affiliate”) as defined in the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, or other applicable banking laws of the United States of America and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, shall have the right to convert shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock, if, and to the extent that, wider any law or under any regulation, rule or other requirement of any governmental authority at any time applicable to such Bank Affiliate, (a) after giving effect to such conversion, such Bank Affiliate would own, control or have power to vote a greater quantity of securities of any kind than the Bank Affiliate shall be permitted to own, control or have power to vote, or (b) such conversion would not be permitted. No notice delivered to the Corporation pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof by a Bank Affiliate electing to convert shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock shall be effective for purposes of this Article FOURTH or binding upon the Corporation unless such notice includes or is accompanied by a written representation to the Corporation (which representation shall state that it shall survive such conversion and continue to be binding upon such Bank Affiliate and its successors and assigns thereafter), to the effect that the Bank Affiliate is legally entitled to exercise its rights to convert such shares of Class B Common Stock and that such conversion will not violate the prohibitions set forth in the preceding sentence. The delivery to the Corporation of such notice pursuant to Section B.3.2 of this Article FOURTH together with such representation shall, subject to such Bank Affiliate’s compliance with all other conditions to such conversion set forth in this Article FOURTH, obligate the Corporation to issue and deliver the shares of Class A Common Stock which are the subject of such notice in accordance with the provisions of this Article FOURTH.

 

Section 4.   Registration of Transfer . The Corporation shall keep at its principal office (or at such other place as the Corporation reasonably designates) a register for the registration of the shares of Common Stock. Upon the surrender of any certificate representing shares of Common Stock at such place, the Corporation shall, at the request of the holder of such certificate, execute and deliver a new certificate or certificates in exchange therefor representing in the aggregate the number of shares of such class represented by the surrendered certificate, and the Corporation forthwith shall cancel such surrendered certificate. Each such new certificate will, subject to Section B.6 of this Article FOURTH, be registered in such name and will represent such number of the shares represented by the surrendered certificate as is requested by the holder of the surrendered certificate and will be substantially identical in form to the

 

7



 

surrendered certificate. The issuance of new certificates shall be made without charge to the holders of the surrendered certificates for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Corporation in connection with such issuance.

 

Section 5.   Replacement . Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate evidencing one or more shares of Common Stock of either class, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, or, in the ease of any such mutilation upon surrender of such certificate, the Corporation shall (at its expense) execute and deliver in lieu of such certificate a new certificate of like kind representing the number of shares of such class represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate and dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate.

 

Section 6.   Restrictions On Transfers of Shares . Any other provision in this Article FOURTH notwithstanding, (i) no shares of Class A Common Stock and no certificate representing shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issued or issuable upon any conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock pursuant to this Article FOURTH to a Person other than the holder of the shares of Class B Common Stock being converted hereunder, and (ii) no shares of Common Stock of either class and no certificate representing shares of Common Stock of either class shall in any other case be issued or issuable to a Person other than the holder of such shares of Common Stock, if in any such case the issuance of such shares of Common. Stock or certificate to such other Person would result in a violation of any valid restriction upon or condition precedent to the transfer of such shares of Common Stock by the holder thereof to such other Person.

EIGHTH

 

Section 1.  Elimination of Personal Liability.

 

(a)           The directors of the Corporation shall incur no personal liability to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for the breach of fiduciary duty as a director; provided, that such director liability shall not be limited or eliminated (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for any acts or omissions by the director not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

(b)           If the DGCL is amended in the future to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended from time to time.

 

(c)           Any repeal or modification of this Article EIGHTH shall not increase the personal liability of any director of this Corporation for any act or occurrence taking place prior to such repeal or modification, or otherwise adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

 

Section 2.  Indemnification.

 

2.1           Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans (hereinafter an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith. Such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that except as provided in Section 2.2 of this Article EIGHTH with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding

 

9



 

in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that, if the DGCL so requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section, the DGCL or otherwise (hereinafter an “undertaking”).

 

2.2           Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit.  If a claim under Section 2.1 is not paid in full by the Corporation within ninety days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) any suit by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified or to such advancement of expenses under this Section or otherwise shall be on the indemnitee. No potential indemnitee shall be entitled to advancement of expenses under this Certificate of Incorporation or the By-laws in any action involving a proceeding by the Corporation against the indemnitee for any claim by the Corporation involving a breach of fiduciary duty of the indemnitee to the Corporation, gross negligence, bad faith, intentional misconduct or unlawful conduct.

 

2.3           Non-Exclusivity of Rights.  The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Section shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, this Certificate of Incorporation, By-law, contract or agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

10



2.4           Insurance.  The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

 

2.5           Indemnification of Employees or Agents of the Corporation.  The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses, to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Section with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.

 

                                THE UNDERSIGNED, being the sole incorporator hereinbefore named, for the purpose of forming a corporation pursuant to the DGCL, does make this Certificate, hereby declaring and certifying that this is my act and deed and the facts herein stated are true under penalties of perjury, and accordingly I have hereunto set my hand this 29th day of January, 2003.

Notice of any meeting may be waived in writing by any Shareholder either before or after any meeting of Shareholders, or by attendance at such meeting without protest prior to the commencement thereof. For purposes of these Regulations, a telegram, cablegram, electronic mail, or an electronic or other transmission capable of authentication that appears to have been sent by any Shareholder or Director that contains a waiver or affirmative vote or approval by such person shall be deemed to be a “writing.” (1701.42)

Any transmission that creates a record capable of authentication, including, but not limited to, a telegram, a cablegram, electronic mail, or an electronic, telephonic, or other transmission that appears to have been transmitted by a person appointing a proxy, and that appoints a proxy, is a sufficient verifiable communication to appoint such proxy. A photographic, photostatic, facsimile transmission, or equivalent reproduction of a writing that is signed by a person appointing a proxy pursuant to this paragraph and that appoints a proxy, is sufficient writing to appoint such proxy. (1701.48)

The Board of Directors may adopt guidelines and procedures allowing the Corporation to verify that any person accessing the list or lists is a Shareholder or proxyholder. If a Shareholder has authorized the Corporation to deliver notices by any means other than mail and has not rescinded such authorization, the Corporation shall include the electronic mail address or other electronic contact information necessary to deliver the notice on any list or lists of Shareholders prepared.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Corporation shall not be required to indemnify any person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such person if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) was not authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION

 

Section 1. Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings Other than by or in the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The Corporation shall be required to provide the indemnification described in the immediately preceding sentence in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such person only if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the person was authorized by the Board of Directors. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

Section 2. Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation. The Corporation shall be required to provide the indemnification described in

 



 

the immediately preceding sentence in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such person only if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the person was authorized by the Board of Directors. No indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought or the Delaware Court of Chancery shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

 

Section 3. Costs; Charges and Expenses. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article VII, to the extent that a present or former director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise, including without limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice, in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 and 2 above, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, that person shall be indemnified against all costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by that person or on that person’s behalf in connection therewith.

 

Section 4. Authorization of Indemnification. Any indemnification under this Article VII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, (iii) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iv) by the stockholders, that indemnification of the director or officer is proper because that person has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Sections 1 and 2 above.

 

Section 5. Good Faith Defined. For purposes of any determination under this Article VII, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, if his action is based on the records or books of account of this Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to him by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or record given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The term “another enterprise” as used in this Section 5 shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or employee. The provisions of this Section 5 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person way be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article VII, as the case may be.

 



 

Section 6. Advance of Costs, Charges and Expenses. Costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a person referred to in Sections 1 and 2 above in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding (including investigations by any government agency and all costs, charges and expenses incurred in preparing for any threatened action, suit or proceeding) shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that the payment of such costs, charges and expenses incurred by a director or officer as set forth herein in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay all amounts so advanced in the event that it shall ultimately be determined as provided elsewhere in this Article VII that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VII. No security shall be required for such undertaking and such undertaking shall be accepted without reference to the recipient’s financial ability to make repayment. The Board of Directors may, in the manner set forth above, and subject to the approval of such director or officer of the Corporation, authorize the Corporation’s counsel to represent such person in any action, suit or proceeding, whether or not the Corporation is party to such action, suit or proceeding.

 

Section 7. Procedure for Indemnification. Any indemnification under Sections 1, 2 or 3 or advance of costs, charges and expenses under Section 6 of this Article VII shall be made promptly, and in any event, within sixty (60) days, upon the written request of the director or officer directed to the Secretary of the Corporation. The right to indemnification or advances granted in this Article VII shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction if the Corporation denies such request, in whole or part, or if no disposition thereof is made within sixty (60) days. Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing that person’s right to indemnification or advances, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the Corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for advance costs, charges and expenses under Section 6 of this Article VII where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article VII, but the burden of proving such standard of conduct has not been met shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel and its stockholders) to have made such a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article VII, nor the fact that there has been an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel and its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

Section 8. Non-Exclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article VII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any By-law, agreement, contract, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or pursuant to the direction (howsoever embodied) of any court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such

 



 

office, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article VII shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article VII shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article VII but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or otherwise.

 

Section 9. Meaning of “Corporation” for Purposes of Article VII. For purposes of this Article VII, references to the “Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or, while a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VII with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

 

Section 10. Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such officer or director. The indemnification and advancement of expenses that may have been provided to an employee or agent of the Corporation by action of the Board of Directors shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be an employee or agent of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person, after the time such person has ceased to be an employee or agent of the Corporation, only on such terms and conditions and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.

 

ARTICLE VIII

AMENDMENTS

 

These By-laws may be altered, amended or repealed, in whole or in part, or new By-laws may be adopted by the majority vote of the entire Board of Directors.

 

Entire Board of Directors. As used in this Article VIII and in these By-laws generally, the term “entire Board of Directors” means the total number of the directors which the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies or newly created directorships.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to Visant Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and to the subsidiaries of the Company listed on Schedule I hereto (individually, a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company and the Guarantors with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the issuance by the Company of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7⅝% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 (the “Securities”) and the issuance by the Guarantors of guarantees (the “Guarantees”) with respect to the Securities.  The Securities and the Guarantees were issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of October 4, 2004 among the Company, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. (f/k/a The Bank of New York), as trustee (the “Trustee”).

 

We have examined the Registration Statement and the Indenture, which has been filed with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.  We also have examined the originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments and have made such other investigations as we have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions hereinafter set forth.  As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company and the Guarantors.

 

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us

 



 

as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.  We also have assumed that the Indenture is the valid and legally binding obligation of the Trustee.

 

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that

 

1.             the Securities constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, and

 

2.             the Guarantees constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Guarantors enforceable against the Guarantors in accordance with their terms.

 

Our opinions set forth above are subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

 

Insofar as the opinions expressed herein relate to or are dependent upon matters governed by (i) the laws of the State of Minnesota, (ii) the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and (iii) the laws of the State of Ohio, we have relied upon (x) the opinion of Sheri K. Hank, counsel to Jostens, Inc., dated the date hereof, (y) the opinion of Cozen O’Connor, counsel to The Lehigh Press, Inc., dated the date hereof, and (z) the opinion of Calfee, Halter & Griswold LLP, counsel to Neff Motivation, Inc. dated the date hereof, respectively.

 

We do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the law of the State of New York, the federal law of the United States and the Delaware General Corporation Law (including the statutory provisions, all applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting the foregoing) and, to the extent set forth herein, the laws of the State of Minnesota, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the laws of the State of Ohio.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

I am counsel to Jostens, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Jostens”).  Visant Corporation, a Delaware corporation  (the “Company”), and the subsidiaries of the Company listed on Schedule I hereto, including Jostens (individually, a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”), have filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the issuance by the Company of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 75/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 (the “Securities”) and the issuance by the Guarantors of guarantees (the “Guarantees”) with respect to the Securities.  The Securities and the Guarantees were issued under an indenture dated as of October 4, 2004 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

 

I have examined the Registration Statement and the Indenture, which has been filed with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.  I also have examined the originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments and have made such other investigations as I have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions hereinafter set forth.  As to questions of fact material to this opinion, I have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company and the Guarantors.

 

In rendering the opinions set forth below, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as duplicates or certified or conformed copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.  I also have assumed that the Indenture is the valid and legally binding obligation of the Trustee.

 

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, I am of the opinion that:

 

1.             Jostens has been duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing as a corporation under the laws of the State of Minnesota.

 

2.             The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Jostens.

 

3.             The execution, delivery and performance by Jostens of the Indenture do not and will not violate the laws of the State of Minnesota.

Re:                               Registration Statement on Form S-1

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as special Pennsylvania counsel to The Lehigh Press, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Lehigh Press”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by Visant Corporation (f/k/a Jostens IH Corp.), a Delaware corporation (“Registrant”), Lehigh Press and the other Guarantors with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the offering of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 75/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 (the “Exchange Securities”).  The issuance of the Exchange Securities and of the guarantees thereof by the Guarantors is contemplated under that certain Indenture, dated October 4, 2004, among Registrant, Lehigh Press and the other Guarantors, and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Indenture”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Indenture.

 

In rendering this opinion, we have examined duplicate copies of the following documents (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”): (a) the Registration Statement; and (b) the Indenture.

 

We have also examined the following documents and materials: (a) Articles of Incorporation of Lehigh Press; (b) Amended and Restated Bylaws of Lehigh Press; (c) resolutions of the sole stockholder and Board of Directors of Lehigh Press certified by an officer of Lehigh Press; (d) certificates of public officials; and (e) such other documents, company records and certificates as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions set forth herein.

 

On the basis of the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications and exceptions set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

 



 

1.             Lehigh Press is a corporation duly incorporated and presently subsisting under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  In rendering the opinions in this Paragraph 1, we have relied solely upon the written report by Corporation Service Company of the result of its search, conducted this day, of the status of Lehigh Press with the Pennsylvania Department of State.

 

2.             Lehigh Press has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Indenture.

 

3.             The execution, delivery and performance by Lehigh Press of the Indenture will not violate (a) any Pennsylvania statute or any rule or regulation that has been issued pursuant to any Pennsylvania statute, or (b) any order known to us issued pursuant to any Pennsylvania statute by any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over Lehigh Press or any of its properties, except that no opinion is given in this Paragraph 3 with respect to any Pennsylvania securities law or any rule or regulation issued pursuant to any Pennsylvania securities law.

 

The opinions expressed herein are subject to the following assumptions, limitations, qualifications and exceptions:

 

(a)           As to questions of fact, we have relied upon (i) the accuracy and completeness of the statements made in the Transaction Documents, and (ii) a certificate of an officer of Lehigh Press.  We have assumed the (i) accuracy and completeness of all records furnished to us by or on behalf of Lehigh Press and the certificates of public officials and (ii) accuracy of all verbal statements from employees of public officials and that no facts or circumstances have occurred after such statements were made which may render such statements untrue, and we have not made any independent investigation or verification of any such matters.

 

(b)           We have assumed the (i) genuineness of all signatures, (ii) authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (iii) conformity with originals of all documents submitted to us as copies or telecopies, (iv) conformity with originals of all documents filed by the Registrant, Lehigh Press and the other Guarantors with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and (v) authenticity of certificates of public officials.

 

(c)           Our opinions are subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws or equitable principles (whether applied in any proceeding at law or in equity) of general application now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting the rights of creditors. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, our opinions expressed in Paragraph 3 are qualified to the extent the execution, delivery and performance by Lehigh Press of the Indenture may violate Pennsylvania laws governing fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer.

 

(d)           We express no opinion as to the application or requirements of any state or federal securities, patent, trademark, copyright, antitrust or unfair competition, environmental, transportation, pension or employee benefit, or tax laws.

 

(e)           Our opinions are limited to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

(f)            For purposes of the opinions and statements expressed herein, the phrase “known to us” and words of similar import refer only to the conscious awareness of facts or other information by those lawyers in our Firm who have devoted substantive attention to the representation of Lehigh Press in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

 

                This opinion is limited to the matters expressly stated herein.  No implied opinions are to be inferred to extend this opinion beyond the matters expressly stated herein.  This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof.  We do not assume any obligation to update or supplement this opinion to reflect, or otherwise advise you of, any facts or circumstances which may thereafter come to our attention or any changes in facts, circumstances or law which may thereafter occur.

Re:          Supplemental Indenture

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as Ohio counsel to Neff Motivation, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), in connection with that certain Supplemental Indenture, dated March 30, 2007 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), among the Company; Neff Holding Company, a Delaware corporation (“Neff Holding”); Visant Corporation (f/k/a Jostens IH Corp.), a Delaware corporation (“Visant”); the other Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture, as defined below) referred to therein (the “Guarantors” and collectively with the Company, Neff Holding and Visant, the “Visant Entities”); and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. (formerly known as The Bank of New York), as trustee (the “Trustee”); in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on behalf of Visant and the other Visant Entities relating to Visant’s offer of 75/8% senior subordinated notes due 2012 (the “Notes”), as more fully described in the Registration Statement.  The Notes will be issued under that certain Indenture, dated as of October 4, 2004, among Visant, the guarantors named therein and the Trustee (the “Indenture”), as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture.  The Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture are sometimes referred to herein as the “Indenture Documents.”

 

Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture, as amended by the Supplemental Indenture.  The Visant Entities and the Trustee are sometimes referred to herein collectively as “Parties.”

 

This opinion letter is delivered in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

In rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have examined:

 

(a)           A copy of resolutions adopted by the Directors of the Company, dated as of March 16, 2007, authorizing, inter alia, the execution and delivery of the Supplemental Indenture, certified as true and correct as of the date hereof, by the Senior Vice President and General Counsel of the Company;

 



 

(b)           A copy of the Amended Code of Regulations of the Company, certified as true and correct as of the date hereof, by the Senior Vice President and General Counsel of the Company;

 

(c)           A certificate from the Secretary of State of Ohio, dated May 2, 2007, with respect to the Amended Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as of such date, as certified as true and correct as of the date hereof by the Senior Vice President and General Counsel of the Company (the “Articles of Incorporation”);

 

(d)           A certificate from the Secretary of State of Ohio, dated May 1, 2007, with respect to the status of the Company as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Ohio (the “Good Standing Certificate”);

 

(e)           The Officer’s Certificate with respect to the Company, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Officer’s Certificate”);

 

(f)            An executed copy of the Supplemental Indenture;

 

(g)           An executed copy of the Indenture; and

 

(h)           such other business entity documents of the Company and records, certifications or representations as to factual matters of public officials and officers of the Company and such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this opinion.

 

We have relied upon the above-referenced (a) Good Standing Certificate and (b) Articles of Incorporation (together, the “Business Entity Documents”).  We have not conducted an independent review or investigation of the matters set forth therein.  Any opinion hereinafter set forth relative to the incorporation, valid existence, good standing, foreign qualification, or authorization to do business of the Company is based solely upon the Business Entity Documents.  Although we have neither independently investigated nor attempted to verify or establish the accuracy or completeness of the matters set forth in the items referred to in the Business Entity Documents, nothing has come to the attention of those attorneys in our firm who have, as attorneys, devoted substantive attention to the transactions contemplated by the Indenture Documents which would lead us to question the accuracy of such matters.  Insofar as an opinion relates to our knowledge of matters set forth in the Officer’s Certificate, we have relied solely upon such certificates with respect to the accuracy and completeness of the matters contained in such certificates and we have not independently verified or established the accuracy or completeness of such matters, but in the course of our representation of the Company nothing has come to the attention of those attorneys in our firm who have, as attorneys, devoted substantive attention to the transactions contemplated by the Supplemental Indenture that makes such reliance unwarranted or that leads us to question the accuracy or completeness of the Officer’s Certificate.

In rendering our opinions, we have not conducted any investigation into the types of business and activities in which the Company engages or the manner in which the Company conducts its business.  Accordingly, our opinions with respect to the laws of the State of Ohio (the “State”) and the federal laws of the United States are expressly limited to laws or governmental regulations of general applicability to business corporations (“General Laws”).  Insofar as such laws are applicable to and affect the Company, and inasmuch as we have not conducted any investigation with respect to the Company’s compliance with laws of particular applicability, we are, therefore, not expressing any opinion concerning laws of particular applicability including, without limitation, municipal ordinances, zoning regulations, applicable municipal or quasi-municipal licenses, permits or approvals.

 

The opinions hereinafter expressed are premised upon the assumptions that (i) all records and documents examined by us in connection with the preparation of this opinion letter are authentic and, to the extent material to any opinion hereinafter expressed, accurate, and, to the extent represented by photostatic or certified copies, conform to the respective originals; (ii) all signatures contained in such records and documents (including the signatures of officers of the Company) are genuine signatures of the party purporting to have signed the same; (iii) all natural persons signing said documents and records had, at the time of such signing, full legal capacity to sign and deliver said documents and records; (iv) no action has been taken which amends, revokes or terminates any of the corporate and organizational documents and records, certificates and representations which we have reviewed; (v)  the Parties have complied, and will comply, with all laws, rules and regulations of the State applicable to them as business entities or other entities doing business in the State; and (vi) the execution, delivery and performance by the Parties, other than the Company, of the Indenture Documents do not and will not violate any law applicable to such parties.

 

We have further assumed, without independent investigation, that each of the Parties will perform each of the Indenture Documents to which it is a party in good faith and will act reasonably in exercising any discretion thereunder.  Although we have not conducted an independent investigation of the accuracy or reasonableness of any of these assumptions, nothing has come to the attention of those attorneys in our firm who have, as attorneys, devoted substantive attention to the transactions contemplated by the Indenture Documents which would lead us to question the accuracy of any of said assumptions.

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and upon such further investigation of law as we have deemed necessary, and subject to the qualifications, exceptions, limitations and further assumptions set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

 

1.     The Company is incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Ohio.  The Company has the corporate power and authority to own and lease the assets owned and leased by it and to transact the business in which it is currently engaged.  Each of the Indenture Documents to which the Company is a party has been duly authorized by the Company.

 

3



 

2.     The execution, delivery and consummation by the Company of the Indenture Documents to which it is a party do not and will not violate (i) any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Code of Regulations or (ii) any General Laws applicable to the Company.

 

The opinions expressed herein are limited to the laws of the State and U.S. federal law.  We express no opinion as to the effect or applicability of any law of any other jurisdiction or as to any provision in any of the Indenture Documents providing for the application of any other law.

 

This opinion is limited to the matters expressly stated herein.  Nothing is intended to be implied herein, and no inference may be drawn from this opinion to extend this opinion beyond the matters expressly stated herein.  This opinion is being delivered to Visant, is intended solely for its use, and may not be otherwise reproduced, filed publicly or relied upon by any other person for any purpose without the express written consent of the undersigned.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) this opinion may be relied upon by Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP and (ii) we hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter with the Commission as Exhibit 5.4 to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement.  In giving such consent, we do not concede that we are experts within the meaning of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder or that this consent is required by Section 7 of the Securities Act.

 

Very truly yours,

 

/s/ CALFEE, HALTER & GRISWOLD LLP
