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

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. For the year ended December 31, 2005, we generated net sales of $1,498.3 million.

In this document, references to the "Company," "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 Hoffman") and AHC I Acquisition Corp. and its subsidiaries ("Arcade").

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 three segments: (1) Jostens Scholastic, (2) Jostens Yearbook and (3) Jostens Photo.

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 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 involve 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.

Jostens Photo. Through a network of sales representatives and independent dealers, Jostens Photo provides photography services for special events and class and individual school pictures of elementary, middle and high school students. Jostens Photo is a leading provider of school photography in Canada and also serves in the U.S. elementary, middle and high school markets. Jostens Photo also provides high school senior portraits and photography for proms and other special events.

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 markets, and innovative, highly personalized products primarily targeted at the direct marketing sector. We are also the leading producer of testing and supplemental materials and related components such as decorative covers for educational publishers, as well as creative and book design services. 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 inserts, 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.

Educational Textbook

The Educational Textbook segment, which does business under the Von Hoffmann name, is a leading producer of four-color case-bound educational textbooks. Von Hoffmann's Jefferson City, Missouri facility focuses primarily on the manufacture of four-color case-bound products including textbooks for the elementary through high school ("ELHI") and college markets, employing a range of versioning and binding styles and capabilities to meet the demanding service, quality and delivery requirements of these markets.

The Transactions

We are indirectly owned by affiliates of DLJ Merchant Banking Partners III, L.P., or DLJMBP III, affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., or KKR (together with DLJMBP III, the "Sponsors"), other co-investors and certain members of management. On July 21, 2004, our parent entered into a contribution agreement with Fusion Acquisition LLC, or Fusion, an affiliate of KKR, pursuant to which Fusion contributed to our parent (the "Contribution") all of the stock of Von Hoffmann and Arcade that Fusion acquired immediately prior to such Contribution pursuant to two separate mergers, or the Merger, in exchange for shares of our parent's common stock. Subsequent to the Contribution, our parent caused all of the equity interests of Von Hoffmann and Arcade held by it to be contributed to us, which resulted in Von Hoffmann and Arcade becoming our wholly-owned subsidiaries.

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 was issued equity interests representing approximately 49.6% of our parent's voting interest and 45.0% of our parent's economic interest. Immediately following the Transactions, affiliates of DLJMBP III held equity interests representing approximately 41.0% of our parent's voting interest and 45.0% of our parent's 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 1, 2006, affiliates of KKR and DLJMBP III held approximately 49.1% and 41.0%, respectively, of the voting

interests of our parent, while each held approximately 44.6% of our parent's economic interest. As of March 1, 2006, other co-investors held approximately 8.4% of the voting interests and approximately 9.1% of the economic interests of our parent, while members of management held approximately 1.6% of the voting interests and approximately 1.7% of the economic interests of our parent.

In connection with the Transactions, we concluded tender offers to repurchase any and all of the outstanding 12³/4% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2010 of Jostens, 10¹/4% Senior Notes Due 2009 and 10³/8% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2007 of Von Hoffmann Corporation, 13¹/2% Subordinated Exchange Debentures Due 2009 of Von Hoffmann Holdings Inc. and 10¹/2% Senior Notes Due 2008 of AKI, Inc. and received the requisite consents from the respective holders of those notes to amend the indentures governing each respective series of notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and effect certain other amendments to those indentures. In accordance with the contribution agreement, we discharged the indentures governing the 12³/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010 of Jostens and the 10¹/4% Senior Notes Due 2009 of Von Hoffmann and redeemed all such other notes not tendered in connection with the tender offers.

In connection with the Transactions:

•: Visant entered into new senior secured credit facilities, consisting of a $150 million Term Loan A Facility, an $870 million Term Loan C Facility and a $250 million revolving credit facility, primarily to cover seasonal working capital requirements;
•: Visant issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 7⁵/8% senior subordinated notes due 2012;
•: Von Hoffmann equity holders were paid approximately $183.8 million;
•: Holders of Arcade's Amended and Restated Notes were paid $76.5 million and holders of Arcade's Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock were paid $65.2 million;
•: Jostens repaid approximately $77.1 million of indebtedness under its previous revolving credit facility;
•: we used approximately $1,384.6 million to redeem Jostens' 14% Senior Redeemable Payment-in-Kind Preferred Stock and to refinance other outstanding indebtedness of Jostens, Von Hoffmann and Arcade (including accrued interest, tender premiums and prepayment penalties);
•: we paid approximately $95.6 million of transaction fees and expenses; and
•: we issued shares of our parent's common stock and options to purchase shares of our parent's common stock to Marc Reisch, our new Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

The Contribution, Mergers and related financing transactions are referred to collectively in this prospectus as the "Transactions".

Ownership and Corporate Structure

The chart below illustrates our ownership and corporate structure.

(1): As of March 1, 2006, affiliates of KKR and DLJMBP III held approximately 49.1% and 41.0%, respectively, of the voting interests of Visant Holding, while each continued to hold approximately 44.6% of the economic interests of Visant Holding. As of March 1, 2006, other co-investors held approximately 8.4% of the voting interests and approximately 9.1% of the economic interests of Visant Holding, while members of management held approximately 1.6% of the voting interests and approximately 1.7% of the economic interests.
(2): On April 4, 2006, Visant Holding sold $350.0 million of 8³/4% Senior Notes due 2013 in a transaction not subject to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These notes are not guaranteed by us and therefore are effectively subordinated to our notes. See "—Recent Developments."
(3): Consists of 10¹/4% Senior Discount Notes Due 2013 of Visant Holding. These notes are not guaranteed by us and therefore are effectively subordinated to our notes.
(4): Visant Secondary Holdings Corp. pledged the stock of Visant as security for the benefit of the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities and is a guarantor of our senior secured credit facilities.
(5): Visant's senior secured credit facilities consist of a Term Loan C facility, with $816.5 million outstanding as of December 31, 2005, and a $250.0 million senior secured revolving facility. As of December 31, 2005, Visant had $221.4 million of availability under the revolving credit facility (net of $11.9 million in outstanding borrowings and $16.7 million in outstanding letters of credit). The Term Loan C facility matures in 2011 and the revolving credit facility matures in 2009.
(6): Consists of the existing 7⁵/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 of Visant.

Recent Developments

On April 4, 2006, Visant Holding Corp. sold $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 8³/4% Senior Notes due 2013 to Lehman Brothers Inc. and Banc of America Securities LLC in a transaction not subject to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The net proceeds of the offering were used to pay a dividend to its stockholders and to pay the fees and expenses of the offering. The Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations of Visant Holding and are senior in right of payment to all of the existing and future subordinated indebtedness of Visant Holding and effectively junior to all of the existing and future liabilities and preferred stock of Visant Holding's subsidiaries, including Visant.

On March 30, 2006, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("S&P") assigned a B- rating to the Senior Notes and affirmed all other ratings for Visant Holding and Visant. Also, on March 30, 2006, Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") assigned a Caa2 rating to the Senior Notes, changed Visant Holding's outlook to negative from stable and affirmed Visant Holding's other ratings. The change to a negative outlook reflects, among other factors, Moody's expectation that fiscal 2006 free cash flow will be reduced significantly by higher cash interest payments of approximately $31 million that will be incurred on the Senior Notes, plus a material increase in cash taxes primarily due to the absence of net operating loss carryforwards that were available to Visant Holding in 2005. Reference is made to the Moody's and S&P announcements, each dated March 30, 2006, for a full explanation of the factors considered by each of Moody's and S&P, respectively. 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.

Risk Factors

See "Risk Factors" immediately following this summary for a discussion of certain risks relating to an investment in the notes.

Our principal executive offices are located at 357 Main Street, Armonk, New York 10504 and our telephone number there is (914) 595-8200. We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 21, 2003. We maintain a website at www.visant.net. Information contained on our websites does not constitute a part of this prospectus and is not being incorporated by reference herein.

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. 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. The summary consolidated financial data of Visant for the period from December 29, 2002 through July 29, 2003 (predecessor) and the summary consolidated financial data for the period from July 30, 2003 through January 3, 2004 have been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

(1): Certain selected financial data have been reclassified for all periods prior to 2004 and presented to reflect the results of discontinued operations consisting of the exit of Jostens' Recognition business. See Note 19,Discontinued Operations, to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein.
(2): For 2005 and 2004, transaction costs represented $1.3 million and $15.9 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 acquisition by DLJMBP of Jostens in 2003 (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 2005, special charges consisted of restructuring charges of $6.9 million for employee severance related to closed facilities and $0.3 million related to a withdrawal liability under a union retirement plan that is payable in connection with the consolidation of certain operations. For 2004, special charges consisted of restructuring charges of $3.9 million for employee

severance and equipment relocation related to closure of the Frederick, Maryland and Precision Offset Printing, Inc. facilities and $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. For 2001, special charges represented $2.1 million of severance costs in conjunction with the termination of three senior executives and $0.4 million to write off an investment in a joint venture in Mexico.

(4): For 2004, loss on redemption of debt represented a loss of $75.4 million in connection with repayment of all existing indebtedness and remaining preferred stock of Jostens, Von Hoffmann 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' previously outstanding 12³/4% senior subordinated notes prior to the Transactions. For the successor period in 2003, loss on redemption of debt represented a loss of $0.5 million in connection with the repurchase of $8.5 million principal amount of Jostens' previously outstanding 12³/4% 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' prior senior secured credit facility. For 2002, loss on redemption of debt represents a loss of $1.8 million in connection with the repurchase of $7.5 million principal amount of Jostens' 12³/4% 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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("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 $153.5 million and $70.4 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 Indebtedness and the Notes

We have a substantial amount of indebtedness, which may adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to operate our business, remain in compliance with debt covenants and make payments on our indebtedness, including the notes.

As of December 31, 2005, Visant and Visant Holding had outstanding indebtedness of $1,529.8 million, including $11.9 million outstanding in the form of short-term borrowings under our revolving credit facility and $16.7 million outstanding in the form of letters of credit, which represented 85.7% of our total capitalization. As of December 31, 2005, we had availability of $221.4 million (net of standby letters of credit and short-term borrowings) under our revolving credit facility.

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

•: make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our indebtedness, including the notes, 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 the indenture governing the notes and the agreements governing such other 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 or other purposes; and
•: place us at a disadvantage compared 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 our 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 notes and our parent's senior discount notes and senior notes and the credit agreement

governing our senior secured credit facilities contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions and the indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. Our 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, 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. Similarly, see "Description of Notes—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock" for a description of the qualifications and exceptions that would allow us to incur additional indebtedness pursuant to the indenture governing the notes. As of December 31, 2005, our senior secured credit facilities and the notes permitted additional borrowings of up to $221.4 million (net of standby letters of credit and short-term borrowings of approximately $28.6 million) under our revolving credit facility.

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 pro forma compliance with financial covenants under the senior secured credit facilities after giving effect to such loans and (4) our 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 A and Term Loan C Facilities. One-half of this amount may be incurred under the indenture governing the notes as permitted debt. All of those borrowings may rank senior to the notes and subsidiary guarantees thereof. If new debt is added to our anticipated debt levels, the related risks 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 31, 2005, Visant voluntarily prepaid $203.5 million of scheduled payments under the term loans in its senior secured credit facilities, including all principal payments due in 2005 through mid-2010. With these prepayments, the outstanding balance under the Term Loan A was extinguished. Amounts borrowed under the term loans that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Our annual payment obligations for 2005 with respect to our existing indebtedness were comprised of approximately $95.1 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 notes, we may have to undertake alternative financing plans, such as refinancing or restructuring our indebtedness, selling assets, reducing or delaying capital investments or seeking to raise additional capital. Our ability to restructure or 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 senior secured credit facilities, the indentures governing our parent's senior discount notes and senior notes and the indenture governing the 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 the notes.

Repayment of our debt, including the notes, is dependent on cash flow generated by our subsidiaries.

Both Visant and Visant Holding are holding companies, and all of their assets are owned by our subsidiaries. Repayment of our indebtedness, including the notes, 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 notes, our subsidiaries do not have any obligation to pay amounts due on the notes or to make funds available for that purpose. 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 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 indenture governing the notes limits 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, as discussed under "Description of the Notes—Certain Covenants—Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries". In the event that we do not receive distributions from our subsidiaries, neither Visant nor Visant Holding may be able to make required principal and interest payments on their indebtedness, including the notes and our parent's senior discount notes and senior notes.

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 31, 2005, our non-guarantor subsidiaries had approximately 3.8% of our assets. Our non-guarantor subsidiaries generated approximately 5.9% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005. 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 in respect of 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.

The terms of our senior secured credit facilities and the indentures governing the notes and our parent's senior discount notes and senior notes may restrict our current and future operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes in our business or to take certain actions.

Our senior secured credit facilities and the indentures governing the notes and our parent's senior discount notes and senior notes contain, and any future indebtedness of ours would likely contain, a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us, including restrictions on our ability to engage in acts that may be in our best long-term interests. Our senior secured credit facilities include financial covenants, including requirements that we:

•: maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio; and
•: not exceed a maximum total leverage ratio.

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

Our senior secured credit facilities also include covenants restricting, among other things, our ability to:

•: create liens;
•: incur additional debt (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 of, subordinated debt;
•: make loans and investments;
•: make capital expenditures;
•: engage in mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, sale/leaseback transactions and transactions with affiliates;
•: change the business conducted by Visant Secondary Holdings Corp., us or our subsidiaries; and
•: amend the terms of subordinated debt.

The indentures relating to the notes and our parent's 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;
•: create liens;
•: 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; and
•: engage in transactions with affiliates.

As of December 31, 2005, we were in compliance with all covenants under our material debt obligations. The operating and financial restrictions and covenants in our existing debt agreements and any future financing agreements, however, 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 senior secured credit facilities would result in a default under the senior secured credit facilities. If any such default occurs, the lenders under the 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 us to apply all of our available cash to repay these borrowings, any of which would result in an event of default under the notes or our parent's senior discount or senior notes. The lenders also have the right in these circumstances to terminate any commitments they have to provide further borrowings.

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 31, 2005, we had approximately $828.4 million of senior secured indebtedness, and the revolving credit portion (net of standby letters of credit and short-term borrowings of approximately $28.6 million) of our senior secured credit facilities provided for additional borrowings of up to $221.4 million, all of which would 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 31, 2005, the subsidiary guarantors had approximately $816.5 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 31, 2005, we had $828.4 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 pro forma compliance with financial covenants under the senior secured credit facilities after giving effect to such loans and (4) our 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 A and Term Loan C Facilities.

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

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. Our anticipated use of proceeds, which includes the distribution of a substantial portion of the proceeds of the notes to our shareholders, could increase the risk of such a finding. 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.

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 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 PORTAL 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. The initial purchasers have advised us that they intend to make a market in the notes, but they are not obligated to do so. Each initial purchaser may discontinue any market making in the notes at any time, in its sole discretion. As a result, any trading market for the notes may not be liquid. 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.

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 in achieving our strategic objectives. 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 the notes. We may, in addition, decide to alter or discontinue certain aspects of our business strategy at any time.

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

Our business plan anticipates net potential annualized cost savings of between $22 million and $30 million. Our cost savings are realized primarily through procurement initiatives aimed at reducing the costs of materials and services, such as logistics and energy, 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. The costs to implement our cost savings plan are approximately $10 million. However, a variety of factors could cause us not to continue to realize the benefits of the savings plan in a timely manner or at all, or could result in harm to our business, including, among others, the following:

•: delays in the anticipated timing of activities related to our cost savings plan;
•: our inability to obtain lower raw material prices; and
•: our inability to replace suppliers with less expensive alternative sources.

The occurrence of any of these or other factors could affect our ability to achieve cost savings in a timely manner and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

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

As part of our business strategy, we may selectively pursue strategic acquisitions to leverage our existing infrastructure, expand our geographic reach and broaden our product and service offerings. Acquisitions 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;
•: increased expenses, including compensation expenses resulting from newly hired employees; and
•: potential disputes with the sellers of acquired businesses, technologies, services or products.

Our ability 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 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 38% of our annual net sales for fiscal 2005 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 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. 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 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 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 or results of operations.

Our top ten customers represented approximately 20% of our net sales for 2005. Our textbook and sampling system businesses are particularly dependent on a limited number of customers. We do not generally have long-term contracts for committed volume with any of these customers. 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.

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 not 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 manufacturing sold to these principal customers or a significant number of smaller customers could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Five customers in our sampling business accounted for a significant portion of the net sales from such business during fiscal 2005. We do not generally have long term contracts for committed volume with any of our 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 any supplier standards, customers 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.

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 manufacture our products. The principal raw materials that Jostens purchases are gold and other precious metals, paper and precious, semiprecious and synthetic stones. Our Marketing and Publishing Services and Educational Textbook businesses primarily use paper, ink, bindery materials and adhesives. Similarly, our sampling system business utilizes specific grades of paper and foil in producing its sampling products. 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 gold, paper products or precious, semiprecious and synthetic stone prices 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 some 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 sampling system business net sales for fiscal 2005, utilize specific grades of paper for which we rely primarily on one domestic supplier, with whom we do not have a written supply agreement in place. Until alternative suppliers arise, a loss of this supply of paper and the resulting 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 sufficient paper 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 sourced from one qualified vendor, with whom we do not have a written supply agreement in place. We may not be successful in locating another vendor should our current vendor cease to supply component materials to us. A loss of supply of these raw materials could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Educational Textbook segment 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.

The prices of fuel and natural gas have increased during the past year, including as a result of the impact of Hurricane Katrina in August of 2005. These higher prices have impacted, and could further impact, our operating expenses and could further adversely impact both the level of spending by customers in the affected locales.

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 and results of operations.

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 sales representatives. Jostens' independent sales representatives typically operate under one to three year contracts for the sale of Jostens products. These contracts are generally terminable upon 90 days notice from the end of the current contract year. Jostens' sales representatives could 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 may not be able to enhance existing information systems or implement new information systems that can integrate successfully our disparate operational and financial information systems. Furthermore, we may experience unanticipated delays, complications and

expenses in implementing, integrating and operating our 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 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 primarily relate to our Jostens and Educational Textbook businesses. Our capital expenditure requirements in the Jostens business primarily relate to capital improvements, including information technology initiatives throughout the Jostens business. Our capital expenditure requirements in the Educational Textbook 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 or 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 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 technological advances and accommodate changing customer preferences, including the use of the Internet. Similarly, our Educational Textbook segment derives a significant portion of its net sales from customers in the business of publishing textbooks intended for the ELHI and college markets and is thereby dependent upon the sale of books to these markets. Our business would suffer if consumption of these products decreased or if these products became obsolete, e.g., if there were a shift to use of online materials. If we fail to anticipate or respond adequately to changes in technology and user preferences 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 subject to variations due to the textbook adoption cycle and government funding for education spending.

Our Educational Textbook business 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. 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 the notes and our other indebtedness.

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

We are dependent on certain key production facilities. For example, our Educational Textbook business 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. Similarly, 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.

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 the 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 31, 2005, we had approximately 7,700 full-time employees. As of December 31, 2005, approximately 790 of Jostens' employees were represented under two collective bargaining agreements that expire in June and August of 2007 and approximately 660 employees from our Marketing and Publishing Services business were represented under six collective bargaining agreements. These collective bargaining agreements expire at various times between March 2007 and November 2009.

We may not be able to negotiate subsequent 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 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. Costs incurred to comply with such laws and regulations have become more stringent 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.

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 business, which derives a substantial portion of its revenues from 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, certain of the patents that we use in our sampling system business will expire over time. Our competitors may independently develop equivalent or superior know-how, trade secrets or production methods.

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 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 Arcade intellectual property litigation, 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 controlling shareholders, affiliates of KKR and DLJMBP III, may have interests that conflict with yours.

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 shareholders could be in conflict with the interests of our other investors or our debtholders. In addition, these shareholders 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 or our debtholders if the transactions resulted in our being 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 shareholders 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 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.

THE TRANSACTIONS

On July 21, 2004, KKR and DLJMBP III announced a series of transactions which would combine under one parent organization the assets of each of Jostens, Von Hoffmann and Arcade, three industry leaders, to create a North American specialty printing, marketing and school-related affinity products and services enterprise under the leadership of printing industry veteran, Marc Reisch. The combination of the businesses would allow the companies the opportunity to leverage common management resources and achieve significant cost savings from combined scale, to maximize efficiencies of the assets across the organization and to recapitalize under a common debt structure. Prior to the consummation of the Transactions, affiliates of DLJMBP II controlled Von Hoffmann and Arcade, and DLJMBP III owned approximately 82.5% of our parent's outstanding equity, with the remainder held by other co-investors and certain members of management. In connection with the Transactions, Fusion, an entity controlled by investment funds affiliated with KKR, acquired an equity interest in our parent, bringing our parent under the common ownership of DLJMBP III and Fusion.

The Transactions encompassed the acquisitions of each of Von Hoffmann and Arcade, the contribution of the stock of such entities to Visant Holding and the recapitalization of each of the companies and Visant.

To bring the three companies under the common ownership of Visant, on July 21, 2004, Visant Holding entered into a contribution agreement with Fusion providing for the contribution by Fusion of all of the stock of Von Hoffmann and Arcade acquired by Fusion to our parent in exchange for shares of common stock of our parent.

Immediately prior to the consummation of the Contribution on October 4, 2004, Fusion acquired all of the stock of Von Hoffmann and Arcade through two separate mergers. A wholly-owned subsidiary of Fusion merged with and into Von Hoffmann with Von Hoffmann surviving the merger. As a result of the merger, Von Hoffmann became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fusion. At the effective time of the Von Hoffmann merger, holders of equity interests in Von Hoffmann, including holders of outstanding stock options, exchanged their interests in Von Hoffmann for the right to receive an aggregate amount of $650 million less the aggregate amount of Von Hoffmann's net debt and certain transaction advisory fees, subject to closing adjustments (including a working capital adjustment).

Contemporaneous with the Von Hoffmann merger, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fusion merged with and into Arcade with Arcade surviving the merger. As a result of the merger, Arcade became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fusion. As of the effective time of the Arcade merger, Arcade's outstanding common stock and stock options were cancelled in exchange for no consideration. Holders of the Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock of Arcade received an aggregate of $250 million less the aggregate amount of Arcade's net debt and certain transaction expenses, subject to closing adjustments (including a working capital adjustment).

After the acquisition by Fusion of the outstanding equity interests of Von Hoffmann and Arcade and the subsequent Contribution, our parent contributed the equity interests of Von Hoffmann and Arcade to Visant Secondary Holdings Corp. and then to us, which resulted in Von Hoffmann and Arcade becoming our wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Upon consummation of the Transactions, an affiliate of KKR was issued equity interests representing approximately 49.6% of the voting interest and 45.0% of the economic interest of our parent, and affiliates of DLJMBP III held equity interests representing approximately 41.0% of the voting interest and 45.0% of the economic interest of our parent, 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 1, 2006, affiliates of KKR and DLJMBP III held approximately 49.1% and 41.0%, respectively, of the voting interests of our parent, while each continued to hold approximately 44.6% of our parent's economic interests. As of March 1, 2006, other co-investors held approximately 8.4% of the voting interests and approximately 9.1% of the economic

interests of our parent, while members of management held approximately 1.6% of the voting interests and approximately 1.7% of the economic interests of our parent.

In connection with the Transactions, Visant entered into new senior secured credit facilities, consisting of a $150 million Term Loan A Facility, an $870 million Term Loan C Facility and a $250 million revolving credit facility and issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of notes.

In connection with the Transactions, Jostens, Von Hoffmann and Arcade repaid their existing indebtedness and remaining preferred stock. Each of the companies concluded tender offers for their existing notes. In connection with these tender offers, each company received the requisite consents of the holders of these notes to amend the respective indentures governing these notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants contained in these indentures. In accordance with the contribution agreement entered into in connection with the Transactions, we discharged the indentures governing the 12³/4% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2010 of Jostens and the 10¹/4% Senior Notes Due 2009 of Von Hoffmann and redeemed all other notes not tendered in connection with the tender offers.

As of December 31, 2005, we have repaid $203.5 million of bank term loan debt following the Transactions. With these pre-payments, the outstanding balance under the Term Loan A was extinguished and the balance under the Term Loan C facility was reduced to $816.5 million.

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 $184.7 million and $167.2 million as of December 31, 2005 and January 1, 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. On April 4, 2006, Visant Holding sold $350.0 million of 8³/4% Senior Notes due 2013 in a transaction not subject to the Securities Act.

(1): Certain selected financial data have been reclassified for all periods prior to 2004 and presented to reflect the results of discontinued operations consisting of the exit of Jostens' Recognition business. See Note 19,Discontinued Operations, to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein.
(2): For 2005 and 2004, transaction costs represent $1.3 million and $15.9 million, respectively, of expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions. For the successor period in 2003, transaction costs represent $0.2 million of expenses incurred in connection with the 2003 Jostens Merger. For the predecessor period in 2003, transaction costs represent $31.0 million of expenses incurred in connection with the 2003 Jostens merger. For 2000, transaction costs represent $46.4 million of expenses incurred in connection with the merger and recapitalization of Jostens.
(3): For 2005, special charges consisted of restructuring charges of $6.9 million for employee severance related to closed facilities and $0.3 million related to a withdrawal liability under a union retirement plan that is payable in connection with the consolidation of certain operations. For 2004, special charges consisted of restructuring charges of $3.9 million for employee severance and equipment relocation related to closure of the Frederick, Maryland and Precision Offset Printing, Inc. facilities and $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. For 2001, special charges represented $2.1 million of severance costs in conjunction with the termination of three senior executives and $0.4 million to write off an investment in a joint venture in Mexico.
(4): For 2004, loss on redemption of debt represents a loss of $75.4 million in connection with repayment of all existing indebtedness and remaining preferred stock of Jostens, Von Hoffmann 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' 12³/4% senior subordinated notes prior to

the Transactions.

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 under "Risk Factors". You should read the following discussion in conjunction with "Selected Financial Data" and the consolidated financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

Presentation

There are no significant differences between the results of operations and financial condition of Visant and those of Visant Holding other than Visant Holding's senior discount notes, which had an accreted value of $184.7 million and $167.2 million as of December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively, including interest, thereon. On April 4, 2006, Visant Holding sold $350.0 million of 8³/4% Senior Notes due 2013 in a transaction not subject to the Securities Act.

Company Background

On October 4, 2004, an affiliate of KKR and affiliates of DLJMBP completed the Transactions, which created a marketing and publishing services enterprise servicing the school affinity, direct marketing, fragrance and cosmetics sampling and educational publishing markets.

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, 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 shareholders, 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 March 1, 2006, affiliates of KKR and DLJMBP III held approximately 49.1% and 41.0%, respectively, of Holdings' voting interests, while each continued to hold approximately 44.6% of Holdings' economic interest.

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

In connection with the Transactions, Visant entered into senior secured credit facilities, providing for an aggregate amount of $1,270 million, including a $250 million revolving credit facility, and issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of Visant notes. Also in connection with the Transactions, Jostens, Von Hoffmann and Arcade repaid their existing indebtedness having an aggregate face value of $1,392.6 million including the redemption value of certain remaining redeemable preferred stock.

Overview

We sell our products and services to end customers through several different sales channels including independent sales representatives and dedicated sales forces. 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 further 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 purposes. As a result, our reportable segments consist of:

•: Jostens Scholastic—provides services related to the marketing, sale and production of class rings and graduation products;
•: Jostens Yearbook—provides services related to the publication, marketing, sale and production of school yearbooks;
•: Jostens Photo—provides school photography services;
•: Marketing and Publishing Services—produces multi-sensory and interactive advertising sampling systems, primarily for the fragrance, cosmetics and personal care markets, and innovative products and services to the direct marketing sector. The group also produces testing and supplemental materials and related components for educational publishers; and
•: Educational Textbook—produces four-color case-bound educational textbooks.

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

General

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. Increases in paper prices that began in 2004 are expected to continue through 2006.

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 include, 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.

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 3, 2004 (five months) in its consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2003.

Lehigh Press Acquisition. On October 22, 2003, Von Hoffmann acquired all of the outstanding shares of Lehigh Press for approximately $108.3 million, which we refer to as the Lehigh Press Acquisition. The Lehigh Press Acquisition was financed by the borrowing of funds under Von Hoffmann's former senior secured credit facilities and cash on hand. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The cost of the acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their relative fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The allocation of purchase price resulted in value being assigned to intangible assets and goodwill of $45.3 million and $49.8 million, respectively.

Restructuring Activity

For the year ended December 31, 2005, we incurred $7.2 million of special charges, including restructuring charges of $2.9 million, $1.7 million and $0.5 million related to severance and benefit costs for Jostens Scholastic, Jostens Yearbook and Jostens Photo, respectively. Headcount reductions totaled 57, 23 and 7 employees for Jostens Scholastic, Jostens Yearbook and Jostens Photo, respectively. Marketing and Publishing Services incurred $1.3 million of severance and benefit costs related to a reduction in personnel of 77 employees, as well as $0.3 million of costs related to a withdrawal liability under a union retirement plan that is payable in connection with the consolidation of certain operations. Educational Textbooks recorded severance and benefit costs of $0.5 million related to a reduction in personnel of 21 employees. As of December 31, 2005, we paid $5.7 million related to restructuring initiatives begun in 2005 ("2005 initiatives"), which have affected 185 employees.

Restructuring accruals of $3.3 million as of December 31, 2005 and $8.1 million as of January 1, 2005 are included in other accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The accruals as of January 1, 2005 include amounts provided for severance related to reductions in corporate and administrative employees for all reportable segments, as well as the shutdown of one of the Marketing and Publishing Services segment's facilities.

On a cumulative basis through December 31, 2005, we incurred $13.4 million in employee severance costs related to initiatives begun in 2004 ("2004 initiatives"), which affected 310 employees. To date, we have paid $11.4 million in cash related to these initiatives.

Changes in the restructuring accruals during fiscal 2005 were as follows:

		2005 Initiatives					2004 Initiatives					Total
		Amount			No. of employees affected		Amount			No. of employees affected		Amount			No. of employees affected
		(In thousands)
Balance at January 1, 2005		$	—		—		$	8,121		162		$	8,121		162
	Restructuring charges		6,948		185			—		—			6,948		185
	Severance paid		(5,691	)	(181	)		(6,094	)	(162	)		(11,785	)	(343	)

Balance at December 31, 2005		$	1,257		4		$	2,027		—		$	3,284		4

We expect the majority of the remaining severance related to the 2004 and 2005 Initiatives to be paid during the first quarter of 2006.

Other Factors Affecting Comparability

On July 29, 2003, Jostens was acquired by DLJMBP III through a merger in which Jostens became the surviving company and our wholly-owned subsidiary. As a result of the 2003 Jostens merger, Jostens applied purchase accounting, and a new basis of accounting began on July 29, 2003. Accordingly, the results of operations of Jostens for periods prior to the acquisition are not comparable to results for subsequent periods. In the discussion below, we have isolated the impact of purchase accounting on Jostens' results of operations.

As a result of the 2003 Jostens merger, we have reflected a Jostens predecessor period from December 29, 2002 to July 29, 2003 and a successor period from July 30, 2003 to January 3, 2004 (together, the "Twelve Month 2003" period) in management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for fiscal 2003. The financial information for the predecessor periods prior to July 29, 2003 is that of Jostens and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and was prepared using Jostens' historical basis of accounting.

The Twelve Month 2003 period, which includes seven months of Jostens' operations (predecessor) and five months of the operations of all three Jostens' segments combined with the Marketing and Publishing Services and Educational Textbook segments, has been presented as a basis for comparison to 2004 results, because we believe such a presentation provides the reader more meaningful information than if results of operations were discussed comparing the predecessor and successor periods of 2003 separately.

We utilize a fifty-two, fifty-three week fiscal year ending on the Saturday nearest December 31. Fiscal year 2005, 2004, and the successor period in 2003 ended on December 31, 2005, January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004, respectively. Fiscal years 2005 and 2004 each consisted of fifty-two weeks, while the combined predecessor and successor periods in 2003 consisted of fifty-three weeks. This additional week did not have a significant effect on the variances between periods discussed herein.

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. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions. 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 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 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 2005 and 2004 totaled approximately $1.4 billion for both periods.

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 $17.7 million as of the end of fiscal 2005 related to capital loss carryforwards and foreign tax credit carryforwards, because we believe the tax benefits are not likely to be fully realized. 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 is 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. On January 1, 2006, Jostens closed the pension plans to all newly hired non-union employees and the retiree medical plan to all employees who did not meet certain age and service requirements. Pension benefits for current salaried nonunion employees who participate in one of the Jostens pension plans were modified to provide a percentage of career average earnings, rather than final average earnings for service after January 1, 2006, provided that employees who were at least age 45 with 15 or more years of service, were grandfathered under the old formula. 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.

Jostens and Von Hoffmann account for their respective 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 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 2005 pension expense for Jostens and Von Hoffmann, along with the impact of a 1% change in each assumed rate. Modification of these assumptions does not impact Jostens' and Von Hoffmann's respective pension funding requirements.

Assumption	Rate		Impact of 1% increase			Impact of 1% decrease
Discount rate(1)	5.96	%	$	(796	)(3)	$	2,917
Expected return on plan assets	9.50	%		(2,220	)(3)		2,220
Rate of compensation increases(2)	5.60	%		700			(608	)(3)

(1): A discount rate of 6.00% was used for all plans with the exception of one of the Jostens pension plans and the Lehigh Supplemental Retirement Plan, both of which used a 6.00% discount rate for the first quarter and a 5.75% discount rate for the last three quarters of fiscal year 2005 due to the plan merger event on December 31, 2004. The weighted average discount rate for the combined plans was 5.96%.
(2): The average compensation rate was 6.30% and 3.00% for Jostens and Lehigh, respectively. The weighted average compensation rate for the combined salary-related plans was 5.60%.
(3): Indicates reduction of annual pension expense.

We consider our business to be managed on the basis of five reportable segments: Jostens Scholastic, Jostens Yearbook, Jostens Photo, Marketing and Publishing Services and Educational Textbook. The following table sets forth selected segment information derived from our consolidated statements of operations for fiscal years 2005 and 2004 and the successor period from July 30, 2003 to January 3, 2004. As a result of the 2003 Jostens merger, we have accounted for the consolidation of Jostens, Von Hoffmann and Arcade as entities under common control as of July 30, 2003. Since the Marketing and Publishing Services segment consists of the operations of Von Hoffmann, including its subsidiary, Lehigh Press, as well as Arcade, our consolidated results of operations prior to July 30, 2003 do not include the operations of the Marketing and Publishing Services segment. The Educational Textbook segment consists of one of Von Hoffmann's facilities, which is also not included in our consolidated results of operations prior to July 30, 2003. For additional financial information about our operating segments, see Note 18,Business Segments to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

Net sales. Consolidated net sales increased $36.1 million, or 2.5%, to $1,498.3 million from $1,462.2 million in 2004. Our Jostens Scholastic business reported full year 2005 net sales of $425.0 million, an increase of 4.7% over the $406.1 million in 2004. This year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to stronger sales of both class rings and graduation products, as well as pricing 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 pricing increases. The Jostens Photo segment reported full year 2005 net sales of $66.9 million, a decrease of l.0% from $67.5 million in 2004.

Our Marketing and Publishing Services segment reported 2005 net sales of $479.3 million, an increase of 2.6% over the $467.0 million reported in 2004. This growth was primarily attributable to increased direct marketing and sampling volume, partially offset by approximately $12.2 million of a reduction in sales related to the closure of the Frederick, Maryland facility during the first quarter of 2005. Net sales for the Educational Textbook business were $187.0 million for full year 2005, a decrease of 4.0%, compared to $194.7 million of net sales in 2004. The decrease in net sales from textbooks was primarily attributable to lower pricing and lower sales of paper to customers.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased $80.7 million, or 14.7%, to $627.9 million for 2005 from $547.2 million for 2004. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit margin increased to 41.9% for 2005 from 37.4% for 2004.

The increased 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 42.2% in 2005 from an adjusted gross margin of 41.2% 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. Margins also improved for the Marketing and Publishing Services segment, offset by lower margins experienced in our Educational Textbook segment resulting from pricing pressure and manufacturing inefficiencies during peak production months.

Selling and administrative expenses. Selling and administrative expenses increased $0.7 million, or 0.2%, to $434.6 million for 2005 from $433.9 million for 2004. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses decreased 0.7% to 29.0% for 2005 from 29.7% for 2004. The $0.7 million increase was primarily due to higher selling expenses, offset by the impact of administrative headcount reductions.

Gain on Disposal of Fixed Assets. Gain on disposal of fixed assets was approximately $2.8 million for 2005, primarily related to the sale of two buildings, in Frederick, Maryland and Red Wing, Minnesota, respectively, which were sites of operations that were previously shut down. In 2004, loss on disposal of fixed assets was less than $0.2 million.

Special charges. During 2005, we incurred $7.2 million of special charges including $6.9 million related to severance and benefit costs associated with a reduction in personnel of 185 employees and $0.3 million of costs related to a withdrawal liability under a union retirement plan that is payable in connection with the consolidation of certain operations. During 2004, we incurred $15.7 million of special charges including $11.8 million related to severance and benefit costs and $3.9 million in connection with restructuring activities related to the Frederick, Maryland facility. In 2004, headcount reduction associated with restructuring activities totaled 310 employees.

Operating income. As a result of the foregoing, consolidated operating income increased $105.9 million, or 130.0%, to $187.5 million for 2005 from $81.6 million for 2004. As a percentage of net sales, operating income increased to 12.5% for 2005 from 5.6% for 2004.

Jostens' operating income increased $67.1 million, or 182.6%, to $103.8 million for 2005 compared to $36.7 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.

The Marketing and Publishing Services segment's operating income increased $44.2 million, or 212.4%, to $65.0 million for 2005 from $20.8 million for 2004, primarily as a result of special charges incurred in 2004, as well as favorable product mix, operating synergies and gains on the sale of assets of approximately $2.8 million, primarily relating to the sale of the Frederick, Maryland facility.

The Educational Textbook segment's operating income decreased $5.3 million, or 22%, to $18.7 million for 2005 from $24.0 million in 2004 primarily as a result of lower pricing and manufacturing inefficiencies during peak production months, partially offset by operating synergies.

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

			Holdings (Successor)
			2005			2004
			(In thousands)
Holdings:
	Interest expense		$	2		$	193

	Visant interest expense, net			107,195			143,817

		Interest expense, net	$	125,144		$	160,279

Net interest expense decreased $35.1 million, or 21.9%, to $125.1 million for 2005 as compared to $160.3 million for 2004. The decrease was the result of our new debt structure at lower interest rates upon the consummation of the Transactions.

Provision for (benefit from) income taxes. Our consolidated effective tax rate was 41.2% for 2005 compared with 34.4% for 2004. For 2004, the rate of tax benefit was less than the statutory tax rate due to the effect of 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 effective rate of tax benefit was also unfavorably affected by nondeductible transaction costs. For 2006, we anticipate a consolidated effective tax rate between 38% and 41%.

Net income. 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.

Year Ended January 1, 2005 ("2004") Compared to the Twelve Month 2003 Period

Net sales. Consolidated net sales increased $455.4 million, or 45.2%, to $1,462.2 million for 2004 from $1,006.7 for the Twelve Month 2003 period. Our Jostens Scholastic business reported full year 2004 net sales of $406.1 million, an increase of 1.3% over $400.9 million in the Twelve Month 2003 period. The increase was attributable to higher sales prices and increased sales volume for graduation regalia products partially offset by a reduction in other scholastic products' sales volume. The Jostens Yearbook segment reported full year 2004 net sales of $333.6 million, an increase of 3.8% over the $321.5 million in the Twelve Month 2003 period, primarily due to increased sales volume for yearbooks associated with our acquisition of a yearbook business in the latter part of 2003 and an increase in the number of color yearbook pages printed. The Jostens Photo segment reported full year 2004 net sales of $67.5 million versus $65.9 million in the Twelve Month 2003 period.

Our Marketing and Publishing Services segment reported 2004 net sales of $467.0 million, an increase of 200.3% over the $155.5 million reported in 2003. Net sales for the Educational Textbooks business were $194.7 million for full year 2004, an increase of 197.3%, compared to $65.5 million of net

sales in the Twelve Month 2003 period. These significant increases were attributable to an additional seven months of operations in 2004.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased $94.9 million, or 21.0%, to $547.2 million for 2004 from $452.3 million for the Twelve Month 2003 period. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit margin decreased 7.5% to 37.4% for 2004 from 44.9% for the Twelve Month 2003 period. The consolidation of both the Marketing and Publishing Services and Educational Textbook businesses with Visant contributed $97.2 million of the gross profit increase, but negatively impacted gross profit margin by 6.0%, since both segments are characterized by typically lower gross margins than the Jostens segments. Excluding costs associated with purchase accounting related to the 2003 Jostens merger ($54.6 million of depreciation and amortization expense in 2004 and $43.3 million of inventory costs and depreciation and amortization expense in 2003), Jostens' gross profit increased $8.9 million, resulting in a 0.2% increase in gross profit margin.

Jostens' gross profit was favorably impacted in 2004 by the sales fluctuations discussed above as well as the absence of prior year costs associated with difficulties we encountered in connection with an ERP system implementation. In 2003, we incurred additional production costs, as well as certain selling and administrative expenses, in order to resolve those difficulties while continuing to provide timely delivery of our products. Although our efforts minimized the impact to our customers, the associated costs negatively impacted our margins in 2003. We have since resolved our production issues related to the ERP system installation. Conversely, Jostens' Scholastic business gross profit in 2004 was negatively impacted by increased costs for precious raw materials compared to 2003 as well as period costs associated with the facility closure and relocation of our graduation diploma production and customer service operations.

Selling and administrative expenses. Selling and administrative expenses increased $69.0 million, or 18.9%, to $433.9 million for 2004 from $364.9 million for the Twelve Month 2003 period. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses decreased 6.5% to 29.7% for 2004 from 36.2% for the Twelve Month 2003 period. The consolidation of both the Marketing and Publishing Services and Educational Textbook businesses contributed $50.4 million of the increased expense, but favorably impacted selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales by 7.9%. Excluding costs associated with purchase accounting related to the 2003 Jostens merger ($40.9 million and $17.3 million of depreciation and amortization expense in 2004 and 2003, respectively), Jostens' selling and administrative expenses decreased $4.3 million, or 1.3%.

Jostens' $4.3 million decrease in selling and administrative expenses was primarily due to the absence of costs associated with the difficulties encountered with the ERP system implementation in 2003, lower information systems expense due to reduced depreciation expense in connection with fully amortized software and overall cost controls in 2004. The decrease was partially offset by higher commission expense as a result of increased sales and additional investment in customer service in 2004.

Transaction costs. During 2004, we incurred $15.9 million of expenses in connection with the Transactions, including $5.4 million of compensation expense primarily representing the excess of the fair market value over the exercise price of outstanding Von Hoffmann stock options and $10.5 million consisting primarily of investment banking, legal and accounting fees. During the Twelve Month 2003 period, Jostens incurred $31.2 million of transaction expenses in connection with the 2003 Jostens merger.

Special charges. During 2004, we incurred special charges totaling $15.7 million including $3.9 million in connection with restructuring activity related to the closure of the Frederick, Maryland facility, as well as the consolidation of the Von Hoffmann's Precision Offset business with Lehigh. The remaining $11.8 million of additional charges consist primarily of severance and related separation

benefits for the departure of senior executives and other employees associated with reorganization activity as a result of the Transactions.

Operating income. Operating income increased $25.4 million, or 45.1%, to $81.6 million for 2004 from $56.2 million for the Twelve Month 2003 period. As a percentage of net sales, operating income was 5.6% for both 2004 and the Twelve Month 2003 period. The consolidation of both the Marketing and Publishing Services and Educational Textbook segments contributed $24.3 million of the increase in operating income, while Jostens' operating income increased $1.3 million in 2004 compared to 2003. Excluding costs associated with purchase accounting related to the 2003 Jostens merger ($95.6 million of depreciation and amortization expense in 2004 and $60.7 million of inventory costs and depreciation and amortization expense in 2003) and excluding the fluctuation of transaction costs and special charges, Jostens' operating income increased $13.3 million primarily as a result of the absence of costs associated with the difficulties encountered with the ERP system implementation and overall cost controls in 2003.

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

		Interest expense, net	$	160,279		$	100,436		$	67,990		$	32,446

Net interest expense increased $59.8 million, or 59.6%, to $160.3 million for 2004 as compared to $100.4 million for the Twelve Month 2003 period. The increase was primarily due to the impact of the Transactions and the resulting consolidation of the Marketing and Publishing Services and Educational Textbook businesses, which contributed $46.0 million of the increased expense. Amortized interest related to the Holdings notes contributed an additional $15.0 million.

Loss on redemption of debt. In connection with the Transactions, Jostens, Von Hoffmann and Arcade repaid their existing indebtedness and remaining redeemable preferred stock and recognized related losses of $75.4 million. The losses included $81.0 million of aggregate redemption premium paid and an aggregate net credit balance of $5.6 million for unamortized deferred financing costs, discounts and premiums related to the debt instruments.

Also during 2004, we voluntarily redeemed $5.0 million principal amount of Jostens' 12³/4% senior subordinated notes, recognizing a loss of $0.4 million, which consisted of redemption premium paid plus unamortized premium, original issuance discount and deferred financing costs related to the notes.

Benefit from income taxes. Our consolidated effective tax rate was 34.4% for 2004 compared with 18.0% for the Twelve Month 2003 period. The rate of tax benefit for both periods was less than the statutory federal rate due to the unfavorable effect of nondeductible expenses. For 2004, the unfavorable effect of nondeductible interest expense was largely offset by the reduction of our valuation allowance for accrued high-yield interest, as further described in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The 2004 effective rate of tax benefit was also unfavorably affected by nondeductible transaction costs. The rate of tax benefit for the Twelve Month 2003 period was significantly less than the federal statutory rate due to the unfavorable effect of nondeductible interest and transaction costs applied to a pre-tax loss amount that was significantly smaller than the loss for 2004. In addition, the Twelve Month 2003 period did not include any tax benefit recognized for the repayment of high-yield debt obligations.

Net loss. As a result of the foregoing discussion, net loss increased $57.2 million to $100.7 million from $43.5 million for the Twelve Month 2003 period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table presents cash flow activity of Holdings for applicable periods noted below and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated statements of cash flows.

	(Decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(64,258	)	$	35,852		$	33,194		$	(5,507	)

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. 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 $1.3 million less proceeds from asset sales in 2005 compared to 2004. Capital expenditures of $49.2 million in 2005 were consistent with the $49.3 million in 2004. 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.

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.

As of December 31, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of $20.7 million. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities and available borrowings under Visant's senior secured credit facilities, which included $221.4 million available under Visant's revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2005. We use cash primarily for debt service obligations, capital expenditures and to fund other working capital requirements. We intend to fund ongoing operations through cash generated by operations and borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

As of December 31, 2005, we were in compliance with all covenants under our material debt obligations.

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 2004 and Five Month 2003 Period

Operating activities for the full year 2004 and Five Month 2003 period generated cash of $114.1 million and $103.0 million, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities for the full year 2004 was $37.9 million, which included $49.3 million relating to capital expenditures and approximately $11.5 million relating to proceeds from the sale of assets. For the Five Month 2003 period, net cash used in investing was $552.3 million, consisting primarily of $531.8 million related to the 2003 Jostens merger and the acquisition of Lehigh Press and $20.7 million relating to capital expenditures. Net cash used in financing activities for the full year 2004 was $40.5 million. Net cash provided by financing activities of $482.3 million for the Five Month 2003 period related primarily to the 2003 Jostens merger and the acquisition of Lehigh Press.

Seven Month 2003 Period (Predecessor)

Operating activities for the Seven Month 2003 period consumed cash of $6.8 million. Net cash used in investing activities for the Seven Month 2003 period was $11.9 million, which included $6.1 million relating to capital expenditures and approximately $5.0 million relating to the acquisition of businesses. Net cash provided by financing activities for the Seven Month 2003 period was $12.9 million primarily related to activities associated with the 2003 Jostens merger.

(1): The contractual obligations table above does not include the $350.0 million of 8³/4% Senior Notes due 2013 sold by Visant Holding in April 2006.
(2): Projected interest expense related to the variable rate term loans is based on market rates as of the end of 2005.
(3): In October 2004, we entered into a management agreement with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. and DLJ Merchant Banking Partners III, L.P. to provide management and advisory services to us. We agreed to pay an annual fee of $3.0 million, effective October 2004, subject to a 3% annual increase. Since the agreement does not have an expiration date, the obligation as presented above only reflects one additional year of management fees beyond 2010.
(4): Also outstanding as of December 31, 2005 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 the 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 2005, we had $16.7 million of standby letters of credit outstanding. Except for approximately $11.9 million of outstanding indebtedness under the Canadian portion of its revolving credit facility, Visant has repaid the entire outstanding indebtedness under its revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2005. In 2005, Visant voluntarily prepaid $203.5 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 Loan A was extinguished and the balance under the Term C Loan facility was reduced to $816.5 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 Loan C facilities.

Borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities 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 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) 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 7⁵/8% 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.

On December 2, 2003, Visant Holding issued $247.2 million in principal amount at maturity of 10¹/4% senior discount notes (the "Holding 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 Holding 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 Holding notes until December 1, 2008, and thereafter cash interest will accrue at a rate of 10¹/4% per annum. Prior to that time, interest accrues on the Holding notes in the form of an increase in the principal amount of the notes.

On April 4, 2006, Visant Holding issued $350.0 million of 8³/4% senior notes (the "Senior 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. The Senior notes are not collateralized, are structurally subordinate in right of payment to all debt and other liabilities of our subsidiaries and are not guaranteed. Visant Holding used the net proceeds from the Senior notes offering to fund a dividend to its stockholders and to pay fees and expenses of the offering.

The indentures governing the Visant notes, the Holding notes and the 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.

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

We and our parent may from time to time repurchase our notes in the open market, through tender offers or privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions and other factors. No assurance can be given as to whether or when such repurchases or exchanges will occur.

We also have capital expenditure requirements for our operations. For 2005, 2004 and the twelve month period 2003, we had capital expenditures of $49.2 million, $49.3 million and $26.8 million, respectively, primarily for additional press capacity, automation, information technology and ongoing maintenance.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Precious Metals Consignment Arrangement

We have a precious metals consignment arrangement with a major financial institution whereby we currently have the ability to obtain up to $30 million in consigned inventory. As required by the terms of this agreement, we do not take title to consigned inventory until payment. Accordingly, we do not include the value of consigned inventory nor the corresponding liability in our financial statements. The value of consigned inventory at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $26.1 million and $22.6 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 2005, $0.5 million for 2004 and $0.2 million for the successor period in 2003 and $0.2 million for the predecessor period in 2003. The obligations under the consignment agreement are guaranteed by Visant.

In January 2006, we amended the arrangement to allow for the ability to obtain up to $32.5 million in consigned inventory.

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

SFAS 123R—Statement of Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) Share-Based Payment

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004),Share Based Payment (SFAS 123R), which requires the recognition of compensation expense using the fair value of stock options granted to employees and non-employee directors. This statement eliminates the alternative to use the intrinsic value method of accounting originally permitted by SFAS 123. SFAS 123R requires 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. The originally issued SFAS 123 set the effective date as of the first interim or annual reporting period that commenced after June 15, 2005. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission amended Rule 4-01(a) of Regulation S-X which defers compliance with SFAS 123 to the first interim or annual reporting period of the first fiscal year commencing after December 15, 2005.

We adopted SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 to comply with such regulation on a prospective basis. We have assessed the effects of adoption and determined the impact of adopting this statement will not be material.

SFAS 154—Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154,Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, which requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of voluntary changes in accounting principle. Prior to SFAS 154, APB Opinion 20 required the cumulative effect of the voluntary changes in accounting principle from prior period to be included in net income of the current period. Under SFAS 154, the voluntary change in accounting principles is required to be applied to prior periods as if that principle had always been used in previously issued financial statements of the reporting entity. Additionally, the retrospective application is limited to the direct effects of the voluntary change as well as requires the indirect effects of depreciation, amortization or depletion from the voluntary change to be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2005. As such, we adopted SFAS 154 on January 1, 2006 to comply with such regulation.

FSP 109-2—Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.

In October 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the "AJC Act") was signed into law. This legislation creates, among other things, a temporary incentive for U.S. multinational companies to repatriate accumulated income earned outside the United States at a favorable rate of tax. In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position ("FSP") 109-2, which provides accounting and disclosure guidance for the repatriation provision.

During December 2005, we repatriated eligible earnings from our foreign subsidiaries in an amount of $12.6 million. The benefit of the repatriation in relation to the tax that would otherwise have been payable was approximately $2.7 million.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure 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 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 $5.7 million for 2005, $0.8 million for 2004 and $2.0 million for the Twelve Month 2003 period.

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 France, respectively, where substantially all transactions are denominated in Canadian dollars and euros. Jostens from time to time enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge certain purchases of inventory denominated in foreign currency.

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 2005 and 2004 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.

BUSINESS

Our Company

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. We believe Jostens has an approximately 40% to 50% market share across its major product lines, our Marketing and Publishing Services business has an approximately 50% market share of the textbook cover market and an approximately 50% market share in the scent strip sampler market, and our Educational Textbook segment has an approximately 35% market share of the four-color case-bound textbook market. The majority of Jostens' sales 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. Our manufacturing operations, particularly our educational textbook bookbinding capabilities, and dedication to the educational end market provide a competitive advantage over other producers that would have to dedicate significant resources to establish similar capabilities. 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.

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 Jostens. Jostens' core 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 Educational Textbook segment. 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 25,000 schools, every major textbook publisher 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 has maintained long-standing relationships with administrators and students through its ability to provide highly customized and personalized products. Jostens' high degree of customer satisfaction translates into annual retention rates of over 90% of its customers in its major product lines. We have maintained long-standing relationships with the major educational publishers, and each of the top five customers to our educational textbook business has been a customer of for over 30 years. Our sampling business' technical expertise, manufacturing reliability and customer capabilities have enabled it to develop strong relationships with its customers. Our top five sampling system customers have been our clients for over 10 years.

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 20 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 an average of 22 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 expect 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. The efforts within our Educational Textbook segment are directed at increasing our sales to existing educational customers through a focus on product quality, customer service and the breadth of our product offering. We intend to grow our market share within our Marketing and Publishing Services segment with our core customers 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.

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, 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. Similarly, our Marketing and Publishing Services business has selectively added service offerings, such as design, art procurement, editorial, color separation and printing plastic transparencies and decorative covers. 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 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. Since the closing of the Transactions in October 2004, we have invested in new equipment, including new press and bind equipment for our direct mail, yearbook and Educational Textbook businesses.

Implement near-term 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, near-term cost saving. These cost savings are being achieved primarily through procurement initiatives aimed at reducing the costs of

materials and services, such as logistics and energy, used in our operations and reducing corporate and administrative expenses.

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 opportunity.

Selectively pursue complementary acquisitions

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

Jostens

Jostens' operations are reported in three segments: (1) Jostens Scholastic, (2) Jostens Yearbook and (3) Jostens Photo.

and also serves in the United States elementary, middle and high school markets. Jostens Photo also provides high school senior portraits and photography for proms and other special events.

Marketing and Publishing Services

Educational Textbook

Competition

Jostens

The school-related affinity products and services industry consists principally of four national manufacturers and a number of small regional competitors. The four national competitors in the sale of yearbooks, class rings and scholastic products are other 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. We believe that due to the size of the market, the time required to develop relationships with schools, the cost of acquiring the equipment and the expertise required for the customization of products, there have been few new entrants since the 1970s.

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. Jostens' YearTech® 2006 on-line tool provides schools with additional convenience and creative and editorial capabilities in the layout and production of yearbooks.

Photography. Jostens' sales of school photography products and services are divided between Canada and the United States. In Canada, Jostens competes with a variety of regional and local photographers. In the United States, Jostens' primary competitors are Herff Jones and Lifetouch Inc., as well as regional and local photographers. Each competes on the basis of quality, price, on-time delivery and product offerings.

Marketing and Publishing Services

The Marketing and Publishing Services business competes with Webcraft, the fragrance division of Vertis, Inc., 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 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 national and regional printers. We compete primarily with Coral Graphics Services, Inc., Phoenix Color Corporation, Banta and The Press of Ohio in the sale of textbook covers and components and one- and two-color testing and supplemental educational materials.

Educational Textbook.

Textbook manufacturers compete based on their ability to maintain and adhere to a strict manufacturing schedule, the quality of product and service, competitive pricing and capability to provide "one-stop shopping" to the publisher. Our primary competitors in the textbook market are R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company, Quebecor World Inc. and Courier, Inc.

Seasonality

We experience seasonal fluctuations in our net sales tied primarily to the North American school year. We recorded approximately 38% of our annual net sales for fiscal 2005 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 college textbook market is also seasonal with the majority of textbook production 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. 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 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. 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 and the Educational Textbook business consist of paper, ink, bindery materials and adhesives. Paper costs generally flow through to the customer as paper is ordered for specific jobs and the Company does not take significant commodity risk on paper. Certain of our sampling system business utilizes specific grades of paper and foil laminates, which are, respectively, purchased primarily from one manufacturer.

Matters pertaining to our market risks are set forth in "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 $370.7 million and $359.2 million as of the end of 2005 and 2004, respectively. We expect most of the 2005 backlog to be confirmed and filled in 2006.

Environmental

As part of our environmental management program, we are currently involved in environmental remediation at several properties. Principal among them is a property formerly owned and operated by Jostens for jewelry manufacturing. Although Jostens no longer owns the site, Jostens continues to manage the remediation project, which began in 2000. As of December 31, 2005, Jostens had made payments totaling $7.8 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. Based on findings included in remediation reports, we do not expect the cost required to finish addressing environmental conditions to be material. This amount is included in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005. Additionally, Jostens will have ongoing monitoring obligations following the completion of remediation. 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 use 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 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 used in our sampling systems and direct mail business and we have submitted patent applications for certain other manufacturing processes. However, many of our sampling system and direct mail manufacturing processes 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 asserting that our businesses infringe or otherwise violate their intellectual property rights.

Our company has ongoing research efforts and expects to seek additional patents in the future covering results of its research. Pending patent applications filed by us may not result in patents being issued. 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

We consider our relations with our employees to be satisfactory.

International Operations

Our foreign sales are derived primarily from operations in Canada and Europe, respectively. 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.

(1): Excludes properties held for sale.
(2): Also houses yearbook production.
(3): Includes approximately 31,600 square footage of a leased bindery facility.

We lease a number of warehouse facilities to support our production. We maintain Visant's executive office in leased space in Armonk, New York, and Jostens' executive offices in owned space in Bloomington, Minnesota. Jostens will be relocating to leased facilities in Bloomington in the second quarter of 2006. In addition, we lease other sales and administrative office space and photography space in other locations. 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 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

On February 11, 2004, plaintiff Christian Pocino filed a complaint against Jostens in the Superior Court of California for the County of Los Angeles for alleged breach of express warranty (Cal. Comm. Code Section 2313), and for alleged violation of California's false advertising and unfair competition laws (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code Sections 17500 and 17200).

The plaintiff alleged that Jostens violated these laws by purportedly violating Federal Trade Commission "guides" with regard to the marketing and sale of jewelry. Specifically, plaintiff contended that: (1) Jostens failed to comply with the FTC guide that every use of the word "stone" be immediately preceded by the word "imitation", "synthetic" or a similar term; and (2) Jostens failed to comply with a separate FTC guide relating to use of the word silver in connection with Jostens' SilverElite® with platinum alloy. The plaintiff sought equitable relief and unspecified monetary damages on behalf of himself and a purported class of similarly-situated consumers.

Jostens brought a demurrer and motion to strike the plaintiff's complaint on June 25, 2004, challenging the legal sufficiency of plaintiff's allegations on the basis, inter alia, that the FTC guides are nonbinding and that plaintiff's allegations generally failed to state a claim on which relief could be granted. On August 13, 2004, the Superior Court sustained Jostens' demurrer with leave to amend.

On August 25, 2004, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint which contained substantially the same allegations regarding "stones" while dropping the claims regarding SilverElite® with platinum. On September 29, 2004, Jostens filed another demurrer/motion to strike, challenging the legal sufficiency of plaintiff's amended complaint. On November 24, 2004, the Superior Court again sustained Jostens' demurrer with leave to amend. The plaintiff filed a second amended complaint dated December 16, 2004. The court dismissed the action on January 26, 2005. The plaintiff has appealed the court's decision. Jostens filed its appellate brief in late October 2005 and oral arguments were heard on March 15, 2006. A decision is expected before the end of June 2006.

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 a voluntary disclosure to limit its monetary exposure. The effect of these alleged tariff classification errors is that back duties and fees (or "loss of revenue") may be owed on imports dating back five years. Additionally, Customs may impose interest on the loss of revenue, if any is determined. Presently, no formal notice of, or demand for, any alleged loss of revenue has been issued by Customs. A review of Jostens' import practices has revealed that during the relevant five-year 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 Customs. However, Customs' allegations indicate that Jostens committed a technical oversight in claiming the preferential tariff treatment. Through its prior disclosure to Customs, Jostens has 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. Jostens is in the early stages of administrative review of this matter, and it is not clear what Customs' 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 those imports made prior to 2004. Jostens intends to vigorously defend its position and has recorded no accrual for any potential liability. However, we cannot assure you that Jostens will be successful in its defense or that the disposition of this matter will not 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 believe the effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, if any, for the disposition of these matters will not be material, however, we cannot assure you in this regard.

Our Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors is comprised of seven 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 (and each initially designated three directors) 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. We expect the chairmanship of each of the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee will be rotated annually between a director designated by KKR and a director designated by DLJMBP III consistent with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement.

Audit Committee

The primary duties of the Audit Committee include assisting the Board of Directors in its oversight of (i) the integrity of the Company's financial statements and financial reporting process; (ii) the integrity of the Company's internal controls regarding finance, accounting and legal compliance;

and (iii) the independence and performance of the Company's independent auditors and internal audit function. The Audit Committee also reviews our critical accounting policies, our annual and quarterly reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, and our earnings releases before they are published. The Audit Committee has sole authority to engage, evaluate and replace the independent auditor. The Audit Committee also has the authority to retain special legal, accounting and other consultants it deems necessary in the performance of its duties. The Audit Committee meets regularly with our management, independent auditors and internal auditors to discuss our internal controls and financial reporting process and also meets regularly with the Company's independent auditors and internal auditors in private.

The current members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Burgstahler (Chairman) and Olson. The Board of Directors has determined that each of the current members qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" through their relevant work experience. Mr. Olson is an Executive with KKR, and Mr. Burgstahler is a Partner of Avista Capital Partners, L.P. None of the members of the Audit Committee is considered "independent" as defined under the federal securities law.

Compensation Committee

The primary duty of the Compensation Committee is to discharge the responsibilities of the Board of Directors relating to compensation practices for the Company's executive officers and other key employees, as the Committee may determine, to ensure that management's interests are aligned with the interest of the Company's equity holders. The Committee also reviews and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to the Company's employee benefits plans, compensation and equity based plans and compensation of Directors. The current members of the Compensation Committee are Messrs. Navab (Chairman), Burgstahler, Olson and Pieper.

Executive Committee

The current members of the Executive Committee are Messrs. Reisch, Navab and Dean.

Upon becoming a director effective November 2, 2005, Mr. Fisher was granted options to purchase 3,122 shares of Class A Common Stock of Holdings.

Code of Ethics

We have a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics which was adopted to cover the entire Visant organization following the Transactions and which applies to our Chief Executive Officer, Vice President, Finance and Corporate Controller, all other employees, our directors and independent sales representatives. We review our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and amend it as necessary to be in compliance with current law.

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 currently 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. 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. 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. 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 grant 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.

restricted stock under the plan. Additional members of management are eligible to receive equity-based awards. Option grants consist of "time options", which vest and become exercisable in annual installments over a five-year period from the date of grant, and/or "performance options", which vest and become exercisable over the first five years 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. Upon the occurrence of a "change in control" (as defined in the 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. 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 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 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.

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 $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).

Pursuant to the 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 a total of 127,466 shares of Holdings stock, of which 56,449 shares are subject to time-based vesting (the "time option") and 71,017 shares are subject to performance-based vesting (the "performance option"). The time option became vested and exercisable with respect to 9,104 of the shares on December 31, 2004. The remaining 47,345 shares subject to the time option will vest and become exercisable in five annual installments commencing on December 31, 2005 as to the following percentages: 25%, 25%, 25%, 15% and 10%. The performance option will vest on a cliff basis on December 31, 2012, subject to acceleration based on the achievement of certain EBITDA or other performance targets. 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 stockholders' agreement and the sale participation agreement described above, other than Holdings' call rights in the event of termination of employment.

The 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) or if he resigns for "good reason" (as such terms are defined in the agreement), he will be entitled to receive: (1) a cash payment equal to the sum of (A) a prorated bonus for the year of termination, payable in a lump sum, plus (B) two times the sum of (i) Mr. Reisch's then annual base salary and (ii) his target bonus for the year of termination, payable in 24 equal monthly installments, and (2) 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. The agreement additionally provides that, in the event of a "change in control" of the Company (as defined in the agreement), the vesting of Mr. Reisch's time option will accelerate in full and the vesting of his performance option may accelerate if specified performance targets have been achieved.

The 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. In addition the agreement provides for 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 or the date he achieves age 60. The benefit is equal to, generally, 10% of the average of Mr. Reisch's base salary and 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 or termination of Mr. Reisch's employment by us without cause or by his resignation for good reason after the third anniversary of the closing date of the Transactions, but which is otherwise vested following any termination of his employment for any reason after December 31, 2009. Mr. Reisch's agreement also 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.

Employment arrangements with Michael L. Bailey

Michael L. Bailey, an employee at will with Jostens, joined Jostens in 1978 and has held a variety of leadership positions, most recently having been elected by the Board of Directors of Jostens to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of Jostens effective as of July 20, 2004. In exchange for his services, Mr. Bailey is currently compensated with a base salary of $500,000, a bonus based on targets as determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors and perquisites commensurate with his position. 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.

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 for Von Hoffmann 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.

Other Cash Incentive Compensation

The Company has an annual incentive compensation plan, which permits us to grant various performance-based compensation awards to key employees. Such compensation awards are based on a combination of individual performance and/or financial results. The qualitative and quantitative criteria are determined from time to time by our Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee.

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 primary purpose of the Executive Severance Plan is to provide severance benefits for the Chief Executive Officer of Jostens and other members of the Jostens management as identified under the Executive Severance Plan, whose employment is terminated pursuant to a qualifying termination or resignation (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan), which excludes a termination for poor or unsatisfactory job performance or misconduct. The amount of severance benefits to which a particular employee is eligible is based upon the employee's position in Jostens and upon execution of a release of claims against Jostens (unless the Company elects otherwise). The range of severance benefits is from nine months to thirty months of the participant's base salary. 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. In addition, participants are eligible to receive reimbursement for COBRA premiums and continuation of their perquisites during the period of time over which the participant receives his or her continued payment of base salary. Eligibility for benefits under the Executive Severance Plan is also subject to participants complying with certain confidentiality provisions and other restrictive covenants during the severance period.

Retirement Plans

Jostens maintains a tax-qualified, non-contributory pension plan, Pension Plan D ("Plan D"), which provides benefits for certain salaried employees. Effective January 1, 2006, the retirement income benefit under the plan changed for employees under age 45 with less than 15 years of service as of December 31, 2005 (non-grandfathered participants). The benefit prior to January 1, 2006, for non-grandfathered participants is based on a participant's highest average annual cash compensation (base salary plus annual bonus, if any) 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 December 31, 2005. The benefit after January 1, 2006 for the non-grandfathered participants is based on career cash compensation (base salary plus annual bonus, if any) and service on and after January 1, 2006.

For employees age 45 and over with 15 or more years of service as of December 31, 2005 (grandfathered participants), the retirement income benefit under the plan remains unchanged. The retirement income benefits are based upon a participant's highest average annual cash compensation (base salary plus annual bonus, if any) 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 at termination. Mr. Bailey participates in Plan D and is a grandfathered participant based on his age and years of service with Jostens as of December 31, 2005. Certain of the other named executive officers also participate in Plan D.

Jostens also maintains an unfunded supplemental retirement plan (the "ERISA Excess Plan") that gives additional credit under Plan D for years of service as a Jostens' sales representative to those salespersons who were hired as employees of Jostens prior to October 1, 1991. 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 unfunded supplemental plan 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.

The following table shows estimated annual retirement benefits payable for life at age 65 for grandfathered participants, at various levels of final average compensation and service under these plans. The participants estimated annual pension benefit under the tax-qualified pension plan and the unfunded supplemental plan is $647,000 (if 2005 pay continues until age 65) or $361,000 (if the current average pay continues until age 65).

One executive officer, Mr. DePaul, participates in the pension plan for Employees of The Lehigh Press, Inc. ("the Lehigh Press Plan"), which merged with Jostens' Pension Plan C in 2004.

(3): Mr. DePaul has 26.75 years of service under Pension Plan C as of December 31, 2005.

We also maintain a non-contributory unfunded supplemental pension plan for certain named executive officer participants. Participants who retire after age 55 with at least seven full calendar years of service as an executive officer are eligible for a benefit equal to 1% of final base salary for each full calendar year of service, up to a maximum of 30%. Only service after age 30 is recognized in the plan. The calculation of benefits is frozen at the levels reached at age 60. In the event of a change in control (as defined under the plan), a participant is deemed to have completed at least seven years of service as an executive officer. If participants continue in their current positions at their current levels of compensation and retire at age 60, the estimated total annual pension amounts from this plan for Messrs. Reisch, Bailey, Sorensen and Carousso and Ms. Hlavaty would be $92,732, $150,000, $48,283, $58,731 and $59,565, respectively.

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.

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.

During 2005, Visant voluntarily prepaid $203.5 million of its term loans under the Credit Agreement, including all originally scheduled principal payments due under its Term Loan A facility and its Term Loan C facility for 2005 through mid-2010. With these pre-payments, the outstanding balance under the Term Loan A facility was extinguished and the balance under the Term Loan C facility was reduced to $816.5 million. Amounts borrowed under the term loan facilities that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. As of December 31, 2005, there was $11.9 million outstanding in the form of short-term borrowings, which relates to Visant's Canadian subsidiary, at a weighted average interest rate of 6.25%, and an additional $16.7 million outstanding in the form of letters of credit, leaving $221.4 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.

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.

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:

•: nonpayment of principal or interest;
•: breach of covenants (with notice and cure periods in certain cases);
•: material breach of representations or warranties;
•: cross-default and cross-acceleration to other material indebtedness;

Existing Indebtedness of Our Parent

10¹/4% Senior Discount Notes Due 2013

Our parent, Visant Holding Corp., had $184.7 million in principal amount of 10¹/4% Senior Discount Notes Due 2013 outstanding as of December 31, 2005. These notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of December 2, 2003, between our parent and BNY Midwest Trust Company, as trustee. The indenture governing these notes contains limitations on our parent's and our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay certain restricted payments and dividends and engage in certain affiliate transactions. These notes are unsecured senior obligations of our parent and are not guaranteed by us or any of our subsidiaries. Accordingly, these notes are effectively subordinated to all of our and our existing and future subsidiaries' indebtedness and other liabilities and preferred stock, including our senior secured credit facilities and our notes.

8³/4% Senior Notes due 2013

Our parent, Visant Holding Corp., issued $350.0 million of 8³/4% Senior Notes due 2013 pursuant to an indenture, dated as of April 4, 2006, between our parent and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The indenture governing these notes contains limitations on our parent's and our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay certain restricted payments and dividends and engage in certain affiliate transactions. These notes are unsecured senior obligations of our parent and are not guaranteed by us or any of our subsidiaries. Accordingly, these notes are effectively subordinated to all of our and our existing and future subsidiaries' indebtedness and other liabilities and preferred stock, including our senior secured credit facilities and our notes.

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

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:

Subsidiary		Jurisdiction of Organization or Incorporation
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
JC Trading, Inc.		Puerto Rico
Conceptos Jostens, S.A. de C.V.		Mexico
JostFer S.A. de C.V.		Mexico
Reconocimientos E Incentivos, S.A. de C.V.		Mexico
Arcade Europe, S.a.r.l.		France
RetCom Holdings Europe Ltd.		Republic of Ireland
Scent Seal Inc.		California
Retail Concepts Corp.		New York
Retail Communications Corp.		New York
Encapsulation Services, Inc.		New Jersey

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,

(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

(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 31, 2005:

(1) the Issuer's Senior Indebtedness was approximately $828.4 million, consisting entirely of secured Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities; and

(2) the Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantors was approximately $816.5 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 31, 2005, the total liabilities of our subsidiaries (other than the Guarantors) were approximately $19.6 million, including trade payables. 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 rankpari passu with all other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer and the relevant Guarantor, respectively.

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 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 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 7⁵/8% 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	%

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.

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.

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 PORTAL 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.

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,

(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 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,

(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 ispari 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.

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";

(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

(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 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

109

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

110

(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

111

(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;"

(3) the payment of management, consulting, monitoring and advisory fees and related expenses to the Investors;

(4) the payment of reasonable and customary fees paid to, and indemnities provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Issuer, any of its direct or indirect parent companies or any Restricted Subsidiary;

(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;

(12) payments by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to any of the Investors made for any financial advisory, financing, underwriting or placement services or in respect of other investment banking activities, including, without limitation, in connection with acquisitions or divestitures which payments are approved by a majority of the board of directors of the Issuer in good faith; and

112

(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:

(a) (1) pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary on its Capital Stock or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits or

(2) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary;

(b) make loans or advances to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; or

except (in each case) for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(1) contractual encumbrances or restrictions in effect on the Issue Date, including pursuant to the Senior Credit Facilities and the related documentation;

(2) the Indenture and the notes;

(3) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions of the nature discussed in clause (c) above on the property so acquired;

(4) applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order;

(5) any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in existence at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired;

(6) contracts for the sale of assets, including customary restrictions with respect to a Subsidiary pursuant to an agreement that has been entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Capital Stock or assets of such Subsidiary;

(7) secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to the covenants described under "—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock" and "Liens" that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness;

(8) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(9) other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of Restricted Subsidiaries permitted to be incurred subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to the provisions of the covenant described under "—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock;"

(10) customary provisions in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements;

113

(11) customary provisions contained in leases and other agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(12) any encumbrances or restrictions of the type referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above imposed by any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (1) through (11) above, provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Issuer's board of directors, no more restrictive with respect to such encumbrance and other restrictions than those prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing; and

(13) restrictions created in connection with any Receivables Facility that, in the good faith determination of the board of directors of the Issuer, are necessary or advisable to effect such Receivables Facility.

Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries

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

(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.

114

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

(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.

115

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;

(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

116

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 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;

117

(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.

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

118

pertaining to the Issuer) described under "Events of Default" will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the notes.

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.

119

Satisfaction and Discharge

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.

"Existing Indebtedness" means Indebtedness of the Issuer or the Restricted Subsidiaries in existence on the Issue Date, plus interest accruing thereon.

"Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio" means, with respect to any Person for any period, the ratio of EBITDA of such Person for such period to the Fixed Charges of such Person for such period. In the event that the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs, assumes, guarantees or redeems any Indebtedness or issues or redeems Disqualified Stock or preferred stock subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made (the "Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date"), then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee or redemption of Indebtedness, or such issuance or redemption of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.

For purposes of making the computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations and disposed operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP) that have been made by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations and disposed operations (and the change in any associated fixed charge obligations and the change in EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period. If since the beginning of such period any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period) shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation or disposed operation that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation or disposed operation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Issuer may designate.

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following is a summary of 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 certain 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.

"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;

144

•: 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 specifiedde minimis amount. Under the market discount rules, you will be required to treat any payment, other than stated interest, 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.

Amortizable Bond Premium

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 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

145

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 certain 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 principal and, under the "portfolio interest rule," interest on the notes, 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 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 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.

146

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 "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.

EXPERTS

The financial statements of Visant Holding Corp. and Visant Corporation as of and for the year ended 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 elsewhere herein and elsewhere 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 each jurisdiction in which Jostens sold products to confirm that the aggregate sales tax liability

149

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 share the view that, throughout the audit and professional engagement period, E&Y was 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, werede 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 has been 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 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 has directed that certain long-term

150

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.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Visant Holding Corp. and subsidiaries (Visant Holding Corp.) and Visant Corporation and subsidiaries (Visant Corporation) at January 1, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended January 1, 2005 and for the period from July 30, 2003 to January 3, 2004 (successor, five months) and the period from December 29, 2002 to July 29, 2003 (predecessor, seven months). 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 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of Visant Holding Corp., and Visant Corporation's 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 Visant Holding Corp., 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Visant Holding Corp. and Visant Corporation at January 1, 2005, and the related consolidated results of operations and their cash flows 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, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, Visant Holding Corp. and Visant Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity," effective June 29, 2003 and changed their method of accounting for redeemable preferred stock.

VISANT CORPORATION 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 integrated into five reportable segments: Jostens Scholastic, Jostens Yearbook, Jostens Photo, Marketing and Publishing Services and Educational Textbook.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements included herein are:

•: Visant Holding Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (Holdings) which include Visant Corporation (Visant); and
•: Visant and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

There are no significant differences between the results of operations and financial condition of Visant Corporation and those of Visant Holding Corp., other than Visant Holding Corp.'s 10¹/4 senior discount notes, which had an accreted value of $184.7 million and $167.2 million as of December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively, including interest, thereon.

As a result of the 2003 Jostens merger as discussed in Note 3, the Company applied purchase accounting and a new basis of accounting began after July 29, 2003. Fiscal 2003 includes a predecessor period from December 29, 2002 to July 29, 2003 (seven months) and a successor period from July 30, 2003 to January 3, 2004 (five months). The consolidated financial statements for the predecessor period are those of Jostens, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared using the historical basis of accounting for Jostens, Inc. As a result of the Transactions as discussed in Note 2, the consolidated financial statements for the successor period include the consolidation of Jostens, Inc. ("Jostens"), Von Hoffmann Holdings, Inc. ("Von Hoffmann") and AHC I Acquisition Corp. ("Arcade"), entities under common control.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of previously reported amounts have been made to conform to the current year presentation and to conform to recent accounting pronouncements and guidance. As disclosed in Note 4, during 2004, the assets and liabilities pertaining to the Lehigh Direct division of The Lehigh Press, Inc. have been reclassified within their respective individual financial statement line items rather than as an asset held for sale as previously reported. Furthermore, within the statement of operations for the successor period in 2003, the results of the Lehigh Direct division are classified as an operating business rather than a discontinued operation as previously reported. These reclassifications had no impact on net earnings as previously reported.

Fiscal Year

The Company utilizes a fifty-two, fifty-three week fiscal year ending on the Saturday nearest December 31. Fiscal years 2005, 2004 and the successor period in 2003 ended on December 31, 2005, January 1, 2005, and January 3, 2004, respectively. Fiscal years 2005 and 2004 each consisted of fifty-two weeks while the combined predecessor and successor periods in 2003 consisted of fifty-three

F-13

weeks. This additional week did not have a significant effect on the variances between periods discussed herein.

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.

Revenue Recognition

The SEC's 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 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.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Selling and administrative expenses include advertising expense of $6.1 million for 2005, $6.3 million for 2004, $1.7 million for the successor period in 2003 and $3.5 million for the predecessor period in 2003.

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).

F-14

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 that are produced exclusively for Arcade by one domestic supplier or specific component materials that are sourced from one qualified supplier.

Derivative Financial Instruments

All derivatives are accounted for in accordance with SFAS 133,Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities, as amended. SFAS 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

The Company applies the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for stock options granted to employees and non-employee directors. Accordingly, since all options are granted at or above fair value, no compensation cost is typically reflected in net income (loss) for these plans. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.

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 includes 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 includes historical returns 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. The Company evaluates the adequacy of the allowance on a periodic basis. The evaluation includes historical loss experience, length of time receivables are 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, certain other precious metals, and paper, 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 where its property, plant and equipment were adjusted to fair value in accordance with applying purchase accounting in conjunction an acquisition or merger. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Major

F-16

renewals and improvements are capitalized. Depreciation 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 compliance with SFAS 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 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 during 2005.

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 bases. 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, are recorded based on historical information and current trends in manufacturing costs due to their lifetime warranty. 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 2005 and 2004 and the successor and predecessor periods of 2003, 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 included in the consolidated balance sheets were approximately $1.0 million as of December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005.

Accounting Change

SFAS 150—Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity

At the beginning of the third quarter in 2003, the Company adopted SFAS 150, which establishes guidance for how certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity are classified, and requires that a financial instrument that is within its scope be classified as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). In accordance with SFAS 150, Jostens reclassified its redeemable preferred stock to the liabilities section of the balance sheet and began reporting the preferred dividend as interest expense in its results of operations rather than as a reduction to retained earnings. Jostens also recognized a $4.6 million cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Jostens did not provide any tax benefit in connection with the cumulative effect adjustment because payment of the related preferred dividend and the discount amortization were not tax deductible. Had SFAS 150 been effective since the beginning of 2003, net income (loss) available to common shareholders for the seven month predecessor period in 2003 would have decreased $3.6 million due to the pro forma effects of eliminating the $4.6 million cumulative effect change as well as $6.5 million of dividends and accretion deducted from net earnings and including $5.5 million of additional interest expense.

F-18

The following table represents the effects of SFAS 150:

	Jostens, Inc. (Predecessor)
	Seven Months 2003
	(In thousands, except per share data)
Net (loss) income available to common stockholders
As reported	$	1,115
Dividends and accretion on redeemable preferred shares previously reported		6,525
Reverse cumulative effect of accounting change		(4,585	)
Proforma interest expense		(5,528	)

Proforma net (loss) income available to common stockholders	$	(2,473	)

The assessment performed by Arcade of its redeemable senior preferred stock did not result in an adjustment and the redeemable senior preferred stock was appropriately reclassified to a liability.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

SFAS 123R—Statement of Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) Share-Based Payment

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123 (revised 2004),Share Based Payment (SFAS 123R), which requires the recognition of compensation expense using the fair value of stock options granted to employees and non-employee directors. This statement eliminates the alternative to use the intrinsic value method of accounting originally permitted by SFAS 123. SFAS 123R requires 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. The originally issued SFAS 123 set the effective date as of the first interim or annual reporting period that commences after June 15, 2005. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission amended Rule 4-01(a) of Regulation S-X which defers compliance with SFAS 123 to the first interim or annual reporting period of the first fiscal year commencing after December 15, 2005. The Company has adopted SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 to comply with such regulation on a prospective basis. The Company has assessed the effects of adoption and determined the impact of adopting this statement will not be material.

SFAS 154—Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of APB Opinion No.20 and FASB Statement No. 3

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154,Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, which requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of voluntary changes in accounting principle. Prior to SFAS 154, APB Opinion 20 required the cumulative effect of the voluntary changes in accounting principle from prior period to be included in net income of the current period. Under SFAS 154, the voluntary change in accounting principle is required to be applied to prior periods as if that principle had always been used in previously issued financial statements of the reporting entity. Additionally, the retrospective application is limited to the direct effects of the voluntary change as well as requires the indirect effects of depreciation, amortization or depletion from the voluntary change to be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and

corrections of errors made in fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2005. As such, the Company adopted SFAS 154 on January 1, 2006 to comply with such regulation.

FSP 109-2—Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.

During December 2005, Holdings repatriated eligible earnings from foreign subsidiaries in an amount of $12.6 million. The benefit of the repatriation in relation to the tax that would otherwise have been payable was approximately $2.7 million.

2. Transactions

On July 21, 2004, KKR and DLJMBP III announced a series of transactions (the "Transactions") which would combine under one parent organization the assets of each of Jostens, Von Hoffmann and Arcade to create Visant. Prior to the consummation of the Transactions, affiliates of DLJMBP II controlled Von Hoffmann and Arcade, and DLJMBP III owned approximately 82.5% of Holdings' outstanding equity, with the remainder held by other co-investors and certain members of management. In connection with the Transactions, Fusion, an entity controlled by investment funds affiliated with KKR, acquired an equity interest in Holdings, bringing Holdings under the common ownership of DLJMBP III and Fusion.

To bring the three companies under the common ownership of Visant, on July 21, 2004, Visant Holding entered into a contribution agreement with Fusion providing for the contribution by Fusion of all of the stock of Von Hoffmann and Arcade acquired by Fusion to Holdings in exchange for shares of common stock of Holdings.

F-20

Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock of Arcade received an aggregate of $250 million less the aggregate amount of Arcade's net debt and certain transaction expenses, subject to closing adjustments (including a working capital adjustment).

�� After the acquisition by Fusion of the outstanding equity interests of Von Hoffmann and Arcade and the subsequent Contribution, the Company contributed the equity interests of Von Hoffmann and Arcade to Visant Secondary Holdings Corp. and then to Visant Corp., which resulted in Von Hoffmann and Arcade becoming wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Upon consummation of the Transactions, an affiliate of KKR 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 1, 2006, affiliates of KKR and DLJMBP III held approximately 49.1% and 41.0%, respectively, of the voting interests of the Company, while each continued to hold approximately 44.6% of economic interests. As of March 1, 2006, other co-investors held approximately 8.4% of the voting interests and approximately 9.1% of the economic interests of the Company, while members of management held approximately 1.6% of the voting interests and approximately 1.7% of the economic interests.

In connection with the Transactions, Visant entered into new senior secured credit facilities, consisting of a $150 million Term Loan A Facility, an $870 million Term C Loan Facility and a $250 million revolving credit facility and issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of notes. Jostens, Von Hoffmann and Arcade repaid their existing indebtedness and remaining preferred stock. Each of the companies concluded tender offers for their existing notes. In connection with these tender offers, each company received the requisite consents of the holders of these notes to amend the respective indentures governing these notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants contained in these indentures. In accordance with the contribution agreement entered into in connection with the Transactions, the Company discharged the indentures governing the 12³/4% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2010 of Jostens and the 10¹/4% Senior Notes Due 2009 of Von Hoffmann and redeemed all other notes not tendered in connection with the tender offers.

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

F-21

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 141Business 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

4. Acquisition of The Lehigh Press, Inc.

On October 22, 2003, Von Hoffmann acquired all of the outstanding shares of The Lehigh Press, Inc. ("Lehigh Press") for approximately $108.3 million (the "Lehigh Press Acquisition"). Lehigh Press is a leading provider of book covers and other components and a provider of digital premedia and direct marketing printing services, operating through its Lehigh Lithographers and Lehigh Direct divisions. The acquisition reinforced Von Hoffmann's market position within the elementary and high school case-bound education market, as well as its strategy to increase product offerings and capabilities to its customer base. The Lehigh Press Acquisition was financed by the borrowing of funds under Von Hoffmann's existing credit agreement and cash on hand.

F-22

The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 141Business Combinations. 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 allocation of the purchase price was as follows:

	(In thousands)
Current assets	$	18,658
Property, plant and equipment		38,437
Intangible assets		45,300
Goodwill		49,790
Current liabilities		(13,153	)
Deferred income taxes		(19,960	)
Deferred compensation and pension		(10,760	)

Purchase price	$	108,312

In connection with the purchase accounting related to the acquisition of The Lehigh Press, Inc. in October 2003, intangible assets and goodwill totaled approximately $95.1 million, which consisted of:

	(In thousands)
Customer relationships	$	19,500
Trade names		9,580
Non-competition agreements		16,220
Total intangible assets		45,300
Total goodwill		49,790

Intangible assets and goodwill	$	95,090

As shown above, $19.5 million of the purchase price was allocated to customer relationships. The Company continues to maintain strong relationships with the significant customers acquired in the acquisition of The Lehigh Press, Inc. Some of the more significant relationships (with major educational book publishers) have existed for approximately 50 years.

The trade names amounts noted above include The Lehigh Press and Lehigh Direct names.

The amounts ascribed to the non-competition agreements relate to agreements in place as of the October 2003 acquisition date.

The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Lehigh Press from October 22, 2003, the date of acquisition.

In November 2003, Von Hoffmann's Board of Directors authorized the sale of Lehigh Direct. As a result, retroactive to the date Von Hoffmann acquired Lehigh Press, it was originally determined that the Lehigh Direct division met the criteria for classification as an asset held for sale as outlined by SFAS 144Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Accordingly, as of the acquisition date, the carrying value of the division's net assets was adjusted to its fair value less expected costs to sell, amounting to $55.0 million, based on an internal analysis of similar current transactions.

F-23

In conjunction with the Transactions, it was determined that the Lehigh Direct division would be an operating business and as a result, it no longer met the criteria for classification as an asset held for sale under SFAS 144. Accordingly, during the third quarter of 2004, the Lehigh Direct division was valued at the lower of its carrying amount adjusted for any depreciation and amortization that would have been recognized had the division been continuously classified as an asset held and used since its acquisition date, or the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. The change in classification resulted in its assets and liabilities being included within their respective individual financial statement line items rather than aggregated within the "asset held for sale" line item in the consolidated balance sheet as previously reported. Furthermore, within the statement of operations for the successor period in 2003, the results of the Lehigh Direct division are classified as an operating business rather than a discontinued operation as previously reported.

Precious Metals Consignment Arrangement

The Company has a precious metals consignment arrangement with a major financial institution whereby it currently has the ability to obtain up to $30 million in consigned inventory. As required by the terms of this agreement, the Company does not take title to consigned inventory until payment. Accordingly, the Company does not include the value of consigned inventory nor the corresponding liability in the financial statements. The value of consigned inventory at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $26.1 million and $22.6 million, respectively. The agreement does not have a stated term, and it can be terminated by either party upon 60 days written notice. Additionally, the Company expensed consignment fees related to this facility of $0.6 million for 2005, $0.5 million for 2004 and $0.2 million for the successor period in 2003 and $0.2 million for the predecessor period in 2003. The obligations under the consignment agreement are guaranteed by Visant.

In January 2006, the Company amended the arrangement to allow for the ability to obtain up to $32.5 million in consigned inventory.

Jostens Photo		25,270
Marketing and Publishing Services		278,729

Goodwill	$	1,108,401

F-27

Goodwill is primarily attributable to the effect of purchase accounting in connection with the 2003 Jostens merger as discussed in Note 3 and the Lehigh Press Acquisition as discussed in Note 4. During fiscal 2004, purchase price adjustments primarily relate to Jostens and consist of a reduction to the fair value of Jostens' redeemable preferred stock and property, plant and equipment in the amounts of $20.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively, establishment of a $2.9 million purchase accounting liability (as well as its deferred tax impact) related to the closure of the Red Wing, Minnesota facility and a reduction of the income tax payable reserve by $11.0 million in response to a favorable Internal Revenue Service settlement of a tax issue related to prior years.

	Thereafter		1,307,800

		$	1,563,700

During 2005, the Company voluntarily prepaid $203.5 million of its term loans under its senior secured credit facilities, including all originally scheduled principal payments due under its term loans A and C for 2005 through mid-2010. With these pre-payments, the outstanding balance under the Term Loan A was extinguished and the balance under the Term Loan C facility was reduced to $816.5 million. Amounts borrowed under the term loan facilities that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. As of December 31, 2005, there was $11.9 million outstanding in the form of short-term borrowings, which relates to the Company's Canadian subsidiary, at a weighted average interest rate of 6.25%, and an additional $16.7 million outstanding in the form of letters of credit, leaving $221.4 million available under the $250 million revolving credit facility.

In conjunction with the Transactions as described in Note 2, the Company repaid the existing indebtedness of Jostens, Von Hoffmann and Arcade in full.

The indentures governing Visant's senior subordinated notes and Holdings' senior discount 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 senior subordinated 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 Visant senior subordinated notes.

As of the end of 2005, the fair value of debt, excluding the Holdings 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 notes and the Visant notes as of the end of 2005 was $187.9 million and $500.0 million, respectively, and was estimated based on quoted market prices.

F-30

Any failure to comply with the covenants under the senior secured credit facilities 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 31, 2005, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its material debt obligations.

Holdings Senior Discount Notes

On December 2, 2003, the Company issued $247.2 million in principal amount of 10¹/4% senior discount notes (the "Holdings 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 amount at maturity of notes with substantially identical terms that had been registered under the Securities Act.

The Holdings 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 notes prior to December 1, 2008. Thereafter, cash interest on the Holdings 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 10¹/4%. The Holdings 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 notes will increase from the date of issuance until December 1, 2008 at a rate of 10¹/4% per annum such that on December 1, 2008, the accreted value will equal the stated principal amount at maturity. The Holdings notes will mature on December 1, 2013. The Holdings 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 2005 and 2004, the amount of interest expense related to the discount accretion was $18.0 million and $16.3 million, respectively. In addition, transaction fees and related costs of $5.7 million associated with the Holdings notes were capitalized and are being amortized as interest expense through December 1, 2013.

The indenture governing the Holdings notes restricts 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.

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 million consisting of $150 million of a Term Loan A facility, an $870 million Term B loan facility and a $250 million revolving credit facility. Visant's senior secured credit facilities allow us, subject to certain conditions, to incur

F-31

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 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 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 is 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%). The revolving credit facility contains a sub-facility that allows the Company's Canadian subsidiary to borrow funds not to exceed $20 million of the total $250 million facility. The revolving credit facility expires on October 4, 2009. At the end of 2005, there was $11.9 million outstanding in the form of short-term borrowings at the Canadian subsidiary at a weighted average interest rate of 6.25% and an additional $16.7 million outstanding in the form of letters of credit, leaving $221.4 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 7⁵/8% 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 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 will accrue and be payable semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing April 1, 2005, at a rate of 7⁵/8%. 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. 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

F-33

consolidation) other than (1) dividends or distributions by Visant payable in equity interests of Visant or in options, warrants or other rights to purchase equity interests or (2) dividends or distributions by a restricted subsidiary, subject to certain exceptions.

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 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 2005 and 2004.

During 2003, the Company used an interest rate swap agreement to modify risk from interest rate risk fluctuations associated with a specific portion of its underlying debt. The interest rate swap was designated as a cash flow hedge and was reflected at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. Differences paid or received under the swap contract were recognized over the life of the contract as adjustments to interest expense. As the critical terms of the interest rate swap and the hedged debt matched, there was an assumption of no ineffectiveness for this hedge. The contract matured in August of 2003 and was not renewed.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

Equipment and office, warehouse and production space under operating leases expire at various dates. Rent expense was $9.3 million for 2005, $9.0 million for 2004, $3.0 million for the successor period in 2003 and $2.4 million for the predecessor period in 2003. Future minimum lease payments under the leases are as follows:

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 purchasecommitment at the end of 2005 was $5.6 million with delivery dates occurring throughout 2006. These forward purchase contracts are considered normal purchases and therefore not subject to the requirements of SFAS 133. The fair market value of the open precious metal forward contracts at the end of 2005 was $5.8 million and was calculated by valuing each contract at quoted futures prices.

Environmental

The Company's 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. Costs incurred to comply with such laws and regulations have become more stringent over time.

Also, as an owner and operator of real property or a generator of hazardous substances, the Company 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 the Company's 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 the environmental management program, the Company is currently involved in environmental remediation at several properties. Principal among them is a property formerly owned and operated by Jostens for jewelry manufacturing. Although Jostens no longer owns the site, Jostens continues to manage the remediation project, which began in 2000. As of December 31, 2005, Jostens had made payments totaling $7.8 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. Based on findings included in remediation reports, the Company estimates that the cost required to finish addressing environmental conditions is not material. This amount is included in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005. Additionally, Jostens has ongoing monitoring obligations following the completion of remediation. The Company does 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

F-35

of jewelry. Specifically, plaintiff contended that: (1) Jostens failed to comply with the FTC guide that every use of the word "stone" be immediately preceded by the word "imitation", "synthetic" or a similar term; and (2) Jostens failed to comply with a separate FTC guide relating to use of the word silver in connection with Jostens' SilverElite® with platinum alloy. Plaintiff sought equitable relief and unspecified monetary damages on behalf of himself and a purported class of similarly-situated consumers.

On August 25, 2004, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint which contained substantially the same allegations regarding "stones" while dropping the claims regarding SilverElite® with platinum. On September 29, 2004, Jostens filed another demurrer/motion to strike, challenging the legal sufficiency of plaintiff's amended complaint. On November 24, 2004, the Superior Court again sustained Jostens' demurrer with leave to amend. The plaintiff filed a second amended complaint dated December 16, 2004. The court dismissed the action on January 26, 2005. The plaintiff has appealed the court's decision. Jostens filed its appellate brief in late October 2005, and oral arguments were heard on March 15, 2006. A decision is expected before the end of June, 2006.

In communications with U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("Customs"), the Company 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 alleged tariff classification errors is that back duties and fees (or "loss of revenue") may be owed on imports dating back five years. Additionally, Customs may impose interest on the loss of revenue, if any is determined. Presently, no formal notice of, or demand for, any alleged loss of revenue has been issued by Customs. A review of Jostens' import practices has revealed that during the relevant five-year 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 Customs. However, Customs' allegations indicate that Jostens committed a technical oversight in claiming the preferential tariff treatment. Through its prior disclosure to Customs, Jostens has 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. Jostens is in the early stages of administrative review of this matter, and it is not clear what Customs' 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 those imports made prior to 2004. Jostens intends to vigorously defend its position and has recorded no accrual for any potential liability. However, there can be no assurance that Jostens will be successful in its defense or that the disposition of this matter will not have a material effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

The Company is also a party to other litigation arising in the normal course of business. The Company regularly analyzes current information and, as necessary, provide accruals for probable liabilities on the eventual disposition of these matters. The Company believes the effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations, if any, for the disposition of these matters will not be material, however, there can be no assurance in this regard.

15. Income Taxes

Holdings filed its first consolidated federal tax return for 2004, which included the taxable income (loss) for its acquired companies for the post Transaction three-month period ended January 1, 2005. Holdings and its subsidiaries file state tax returns on a consolidated or separate basis as required in the applicable jurisdictions.

During 2005, the Company received refunds totaling $12.9 million in connection with net operating loss carryback claims filed for Von Hoffmann and Arcade. Also, during 2005, the Company determined the tax benefit attributable to costs charged to equity in 2004 in connection with the Transactions. A net tax benefit of $0.9 million was credited to additional paid in capital and is also included in other deferred tax assets and liabilities in connection with the Transaction. The net tax benefit includes the effect of start-up expenditures and permanent basis differences on deferred financing costs.

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 are 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 has reduced income tax expense 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 increase income tax expense by approximately $0.5 million. At the end of 2005, the Company has foreign tax credit carryforwards totaling $15.5 million of which approximately $13.5 million expire in 2012, $1.1 million expire in 2013 and $0.9 million expire in 2015. The Company has provided a

F-41

valuation allowance for the entire related deferred tax asset because the tax benefit related to the foreign tax credits may not be realized.

During 2003, Jostens repatriated $3.0 million of earnings from its Canadian subsidiary. During 2003, the Company also reduced its deferred tax asset balance and related valuation allowance by $2.4 million to reflect foreign tax credit carryforwards as reported on the Jostens 2002 income tax return. During 2004 and 2003, the Company provided deferred income taxes of $0.2 million and $0.1 million on approximately $3.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, 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. The effect of Von Hoffmann's and Arcade's taxable results of operations 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 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.

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 recognized $258.2 million of net deferred tax liabilities in connection with the 2003 Jostens merger, as further described in Note 3. This amount represents the tax effect for temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities resulting from the purchase price allocation and the related tax bases. During 2004, the Company recognized $1.4 million of additional deferred tax assets in connection with a purchase accounting liability related to a plant closure. At the end of 2005 and 2004, the net deferred tax liability related to temporary differences arising from the 2003 Jostens merger accounting was $193.8 million and $211.9 million, respectively.

During 2002, the Company agreed to certain adjustments proposed by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in connection with its audit of the Jostens federal income tax returns filed for years 1996 through 1998. As a result of the audit, the Company agreed to pay additional federal taxes of $11.3 million. Combined with additional state taxes and interest charges, the liability related to these adjustments, which had previously been accrued, was approximately $17.0 million. During 2003, the Company filed an appeal with the IRS concerning a further proposed adjustment of approximately $8.0 million. 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.

In connection with the aforementioned audit, the IRS recharacterized as a capital loss approximately $27.0 million of notes that were written off in 1998. The notes were received in

F-42

connection with the 1995 sale of a subsidiary. During 2004, the carryforward period attributable to these notes expired. At the end of 2005, the Company had capital loss carryforwards totaling $5.6 million of which $4.0 million expire in 2006 and $1.6 million expire in 2007. Since capital losses may only be used to offset future capital gains, the Company has provided a valuation allowance for the entire related deferred tax asset because the tax benefit related to capital losses may not be realized.

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 $12.9 million on $34.7 million of OID accrued through December 2005.

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 January 1, 2006, the qualified pension plans were closed to newly-hired nonunion employees. Pension benefits for current salaried nonunion employees under one of the Jostens pension plans were modified to provide a percentage of career average earnings, rather than final average earnings, for service after January 1, 2006, provided that employees who were at least age 45 with 15 or more years of service, were grandfathered under the old formula.

Jostens also provides certain medical and life insurance 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 as of such date. Prescription drug coverage for Medicare eligible retirees was also eliminated from the program as of January 1, 2006.

Eligible employees from The Lehigh Press, Inc. participate in a noncontributory defined benefit qualified pension plan, which was merged with a Jostens plan effective December 31, 2004. In addition, Lehigh maintains an unfunded supplemental retirement plan (SRP) for certain key executives. The SRP no longer has any active participants accruing benefits under the SRP. The plans provide benefits based on years of service and final average compensation. Certain of our operations also contribute to multi-employer pension plans covered by terms of certain collective bargaining agreements. Contribution amounts are determined by contract and therefore the Company does not administer or control the funds in any way.

F-43

The following tables set forth the components of the changes in benefit obligations and fair value of plan assets during 2005 and 2004 as well as the funded status and amounts both recognized and not recognized in the balance sheets as of December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, for all defined benefit plans combined. The information presented for all the plans is based on a measurement date of September 30. Furthermore, the Jostens plans represent 86% of the aggregate benefit obligation and 90% of the aggregate plan assets as of the end of 2005.

F-44

During 2005, Jostens changed the discount rate assumption from 6.00% to 5.75% for the pension and postretirement plans which resulted in an increase in liability during 2005. This was offset by asset returns which were larger than expected and actual salary increases which were lower than expected, resulting in an actuarial gain in 2005.

The accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) for all defined benefit pension plans was $255.1 million and $238.5 million at the end of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The ABO differs from the projected benefit obligation shown in the table in that it includes no assumption about future compensation levels.

Non-qualified pension plans, included in the tables above, with obligations in excess of plan assets were as follows:

Assumptions

Weighted-average assumptions used to determine end of year benefit obligations are as follows:

		Pension benefits				Postretirement benefits
		2005		2004		2005		2004
Discount rate:
	Jostens	5.75	%	6.00	%	5.75	%	6.00	%
	Von Hoffmann	5.75	%	5.75	%	N/A		N/A
Rate of compensation increase:
	Jostens	6.30	%	6.30	%	N/A		N/A
	Von Hoffmann	3.00	%	3.00	%	N/A		N/A

Weighted-average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for the year are as follows:

		Pension benefits				Postretirement benefits
		2005		2004		2005		2004
Discount rate:
	Jostens	6.00	%	6.00	%	6.00	%	6.00	%
	Von Hoffmann	5.75	%	6.25	%	N/A		N/A
Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets:
	Jostens	9.50	%	9.50	%	N/A		N/A
	Von Hoffmann	9.50	%	7.50	%	N/A		N/A
Rate of compensation increase:
	Jostens	6.30	%	6.30	%	N/A		N/A
	Von Hoffmann	3.00	%	3.00	%	N/A		N/A

The Company employs 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.

Assumed health care cost trend rates are as follows:

	Postretirement benefits
	2005		2004
Health care cost trend rate assumed for next year	8.00	%	8.00	%
Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline (the ultimate trend rate)	5.00	%	5.00	%
Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate	2008		2007

F-46

Assumed health care cost trend rates have some effect on the amounts reported for health care plans. For 2005, a one percentage point change in the assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects:

	Impact of 1% Increase		Impact of 1% Decrease
	(In thousands)
Effect on total of service and interest cost components	$	19	$	(17	)
Effect on postretirement benefit obligation	$	195	$	(178	)

Plan Assets

The weighted-average asset allocations for the pension plans as of the measurement dates of 2005 and 2004, by asset category, are as follows:

Asset Category	2005		2004		Target
Equity securities	79.4	%	77.1	%	80.0	%
Debt securities	19.8	%	22.5	%	20.0	%
Real estate	—		—		—
Other	0.8	%	0.4	%	—

Total	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%

The Company employs 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 plan, there are no projected contributions for 2006. During 2005, the total contributions include $2.0 million to the nonqualified pension plans and $0.5 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.

F-47

Benefit Payments

Estimated benefit payments under the pension and postretirement benefit plans are as follows:

	Pension benefits		Postretirement benefits
	(In thousands)
2006	$	11,721	$	445
2007		12,193		450

2011 through 2015		86,285		1,746

Total estimated payments	$	150,942	$	3,942

401(k) Plans

The Company has 401(k) savings plans, which cover substantially all salaried and hourly employees who have met the plans' eligibility requirements. The Company provides a matching contribution on amounts contributed by employees, limited to a specific amount of compensation that varies among the plans. In some instances, the Company provides profit sharing contributions. The aggregate matching and other contributions were $9.5 million for 2005, $10.0 million for 2004, $3.7 million for the successor period in 2003 and $2.7 million for the predecessor period in 2003.

17. Stock Plans

Stock Options

In connection with the 2003 Jostens merger, all options to purchase Jostens common stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the merger were cancelled and extinguished. Consideration paid in respect of the Jostens options was an amount equal to the difference between the per share 2003 Jostens merger consideration and the exercise price, resulting in an aggregate payment of $12.6 million included in "transaction costs" for the predecessor period of 2003.

F-48

timing of the change of control and return on the equity investment by DLJMBP III in the Company as provided under the 2003 Plan. 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.

In connection with the Transactions, all options to purchase Von Hoffmann and Arcade common stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Transactions were cancelled and extinguished. Consideration paid in respect of the Von Hoffmann options was an amount equal to the difference between the per share Transaction consideration and the exercise price, resulting in an aggregate payment of approximately $5.4 million included in "transaction costs" for 2004. No consideration was paid in respect of the Arcade options. All outstanding options to purchase Holdings common stock continued following the closing of the Transactions.

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 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, provides for issuance of a total of 510,230 shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock. Under his employment agreement, the Company's Chief Executive Officer received awards of stock options and restricted stock under the plan. Additional members of management are eligible to received equity-based awards. Option grants consist of "time options", which vest and become exercisable in annual installments over a five-year period from the date of grant, and/or "performance options", which vest and become exercisable over the first five years 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. Upon the occurrence of a "change in control" (as defined in the 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. 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.

The weighted average fair value of Holdings options granted in 2005 and 2004 was $32.12 and $25.91 per option, respectively. We did not grant any stock options in 2003. We estimated the average fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, modified for dividends and using the following assumptions:

	2005		2004
Risk-free rate	4.1	%	3.3	%
Dividend yield	—		—
Volatility factor of the expected market price of Holdings common stock	1.0	%	1.0	%
Expected life of the award	10 years		10 years

The following table summarizes stock option activity for Holdings:

	Shares		Weighted- average exercise price
	(Shares in thousands)
Outstanding at January 3, 2004	—		$	—
Granted	379		$	90.14

Outstanding at December 31, 2005	388		$	94.81

Exercisable at December 31, 2005	132

The weighted average remaining contractual life of outstanding options at the end of 2005 was approximately 9.1 years.

18. Business Segments

19. Discontinued Operations

In December 2001, the Board of Directors of Jostens approved a plan to exit its former Recognition business in order to focus its resources on its core school-related affinity products business. During 2002, Jostens reversed $2.3 million of the original $16.3 million of charges based on revised estimates for employee separation costs and phase-out costs. Of the total adjustment, $0.5 million resulted from modifying the anticipated workforce reduction from 150 to 130 full-time positions and $1.8 million resulted from lower information systems, customer service and internal support costs and lower receivable write-offs than originally anticipated. In addition, Jostens reversed $0.4 million in other liabilities for a total pre-tax gain on discontinued operations of $2.7 million ($1.6 million net of tax).

As of the end of 2005, accrued disposal costs, consisting of $1.7 million of transition benefits, are included in "current liabilities of discontinued operations" in the consolidated balance sheet. Transition benefits will continue to be paid through the period of the statutory obligations.

20. 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 ofall 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 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.

F-55

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.

21. Related Party Transactions

Transactions with Sponsors

Stockholders Agreement

In connection with the Transactions, the Company entered into a 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 the Company's board of directors for so long as they hold a certain amount of common stock. Of the eight members of the Company's board of directors, KKR and DLJMBP III each has the right to designate four directors (and each initially designated three directors) with the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President, Marc Reisch, as chairman;
•: certain limitations on transfer of common stock held by the Investor Entities for a period of four years after the completion of the Transactions, after which, if the Company has not completed an initial public offering, any Investor Entity wishing to sell any common stock held by it must first offer to sell such stock to the Company and the other Investor Entities, provided that, if an initial public offering is completed 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 common stock to sales by any other Investor Entity, and the ability of the Investor Entities to "drag-along" 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 the Company; 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 the Company, subject to certain exceptions.

Pursuant to the 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, the Company entered into a management services agreement with the Sponsors pursuant to which the Sponsors will provide certain structuring, consulting and management advisory services. The Sponsors will receive an annual advisory fee of $3.0 million that is payable quarterly and which increases by 3% per year. The Company will indemnify the Sponsors and

F-56

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, the Company 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 common stock held by them.

Other

The Company retained Capstone Consulting in 2004 to provide consulting services to certain segments primarily to identify and advise on potential opportunities to improve operating efficiencies. Capstone Consulting received $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. In March 2005, an affiliate of Capstone Consulting invested $1.3 million in the Company's Class A Common Stock and has been granted 13,527 options to purchase Class A Common Stock, with an exercise price of $96.10401 per share under the 2004 Stock Option Plan.

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) Class A Voting Common Stock, (2) Class B Non-Voting Common Stock (which have since been converted into shares of Class A Voting Common Stock) and (3) Visant's 8% Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock, which has 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.

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

F-57

persons stock options and stock awards and currently 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. 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. 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. 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 grant 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 therefore. 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 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, provides for issuance of a total of 510,230 shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock. Under his employment agreement, as described below, our Chief Executive Officer received awards of stock options and restricted stock under the plan. Additional members of management are eligible to receive equity-based awards. Option grants consist of "time options", which vest and become exercisable in annual installments over a five-year period from the date of grant, and/or "performance options", which vest and become exercisable over the first five years following the date of grant based upon theachievement of certain EBITDA and other performance targets, and in any event by the eighth anniversary of the date of grant. Upon the occurrence of a "change in control" (as defined in the 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. The option exercise period is determined at the time of grant but may not extend beyond the end of the calendar year that is ten years after the date of the option is granted.

F-58

•: transfer restrictions until the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Transactions, subject to certain exceptions;
•: a right of first refusal of Jostens at any time after the fifth anniversary of purchase but prior to a registered public offering of Jostens stock meeting certain specified criteria;
•: in the event of an employee shareholder's termination, call rights held by Jostens and put rights, held by the employee shareholder, with respect to Holdings stock and outstanding and exercisable options;
•: "piggyback" registration rights held by the employee shareholder;
•: "tag-along" rights held by the employee shareholder in connection with transfers of Holdings' stock by Fusion on behalf of the employee shareholders and "drag-along" rights held by Fusion and DLJMBP III with respect to Holdings' stock owned by employee shareholders; and
•: a confidentiality provision and noncompetition and nonsolicitation provisions that apply for two years following any termination of employment.

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. and IST, 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 (iii) for any matter in respect of which such director shall be liable under Section 174 of Title 8 of the

II-1

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;
•: acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

II-2

•: 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.

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) To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

(5) To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

(6) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as a part of this Registration Statement in reliance on Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be a part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(7) 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

II-6

part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(8) 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;

(c) he 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.
