SALE LEASEBACK AGREEMENT

This SALE LEASEBACK AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into to be effective as of May 25, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Destination Maternity Corporation (“Seller”), and TFG-New Jersey, L.P. (“Buyer”).

This Agreement is being entered into in connection with that certain Lease Schedule No. DMCR_002, dated May 11, 2017 (the “Schedule”), to Master Lease Agreement No. 2047981, dated May 11, 2017 (the “Master Lease” and together with the Schedule, as either may be amended, the “Lease”), by and between Seller, as Lessee, and Buyer, as Lessor. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Lease.

Now, for good and valuable consideration, the parties hereby agree as follows:

2.Purchase Price. Buyer shall purchase the Property for a purchase price of $3,400,925.00 (the “Purchase Price”). Seller shall provide Buyer with all of the purchase documentation associated with Seller’s purchase of the Property from the applicable vendors (each a “Supplier”), including without limitation the purchase documentation, invoices, and bill of sale provided to Seller. If Seller has not yet paid the Supplier from whom Seller is purchasing the Property, Buyer shall, at Buyer’s option, pay said Purchase Price directly to the Supplier, unless otherwise agreed. The Purchase Price shall be payable pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Lease.

3.Leaseback. This Agreement and Buyer’s obligations hereunder are subject to and shall become effective only upon (a) Seller leasing the Property from Buyer pursuant to the Lease; (b) Seller’s execution and delivery to Buyer and Buyer’s subsequent execution and delivery thereof; and (c) Buyer’s payment of the Purchase Price. In connection therewith, concurrent with the sale contemplated in this Agreement, Buyer agrees to lease the Property to Seller and Seller agrees to lease the Property from Buyer pursuant to the Lease, which Property shall then be deemed Leased Property for all purposes thereunder, together with any other Leased Property, if any. Seller shall at all times bear all risk for any loss or damage to the Property for any reason. Seller shall be responsible for and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Buyer harmless for all Taxes arising in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and as more fully set forth in the Lease. Seller shall be entitled to all tax benefits afforded to an owner of equipment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

4.Representations and Warranties. For the purpose of inducing Lessor’s performance under this Agreement, Seller hereby represents, warrants and covenants to and for the benefit of Buyer that (a) Seller has the right and has taken all actions required by law, or otherwise, to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and to carry out its obligations hereunder; (b) this Agreement constitutes the valid, legal and binding obligations of Seller, strictly enforceable in accordance with its terms, free from defenses, set-offs and counterclaims, subject only to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally; (c) the Lease is hereby ratified and reaffirmed in its entirety, and Seller agrees to pay and perform when due all obligations applicable to the Lessee thereunder; (d) all representations, warranties, covenants, waivers and releases of Lessee in the Lease are true, accurate and complete as of the date made, and remain true, accurate and complete, and in full force and effect, as of the date hereof, and are hereby reaffirmed by Seller and incorporated as if fully set forth herein; (e) all information, statements and representations (oral or written) furnished by Seller, or on its behalf, are true, accurate, and complete in all material respects, and do not contain any untrue statement of material fact, or omit to state a fact necessary to make such information, statements and representations not misleading; (f) all conditions precedent in the Lease have been satisfied; (g) Seller shall convey to Buyer good and valid title to the Property, free and clear of all Encumbrances; and (h) the Property is, and at the time of closing shall be, located at the location set forth on the Schedule, in good repair, operating condition, appearance, and working order, free of defects or damage, reasonable wear and tear from the proper use thereof excepted, having been acquired and maintained in accordance with normal and good business practices and all manufacturer specifications.

7.General.

(a)Confidentiality. Unless compelled by law, Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement, except that Seller may disclose this Agreement to its attorneys, accountants, affiliates, employees, representatives or tax advisors if such party reasonably determines it necessary to do so in the course of its business and such party owes a duty to Seller to keep it confidential.

(b)No Waiver.

(d)Entire Agreement. Subject to the Lease, this Agreement constitutes the entire, final and exclusive understanding and agreement of the parties regarding the subject matter hereof, and supersedes, and may not be contradicted or modified by, any prior or contemporaneous understandings, negotiations, agreements, representations, promises, statements or the like (oral or written) of the parties, and no extrinsic evidence whatsoever may be introduced in any legal proceeding involving this Agreement, and may not be modified or amended except by written agreement signed by the parties; provided, however, that any financing statements or similar documents filed by Buyer with respect to Seller or the Leased Property shall remain in full force and effect.

(e)Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Jury Waiver. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Utah, regardless of conflicts of law principles. All matters or disputes in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement shall be heard exclusively in the state and federal courts in Salt Lake County, Utah, and Seller hereby unconditionally and irrevocably submits to the exclusive and mandatory jurisdiction and venue of such courts, waives any objection to such exclusive and mandatory jurisdiction, venue or convenience of forum, and covenants to not initiate any action or proceeding in any other jurisdiction or venue. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Seller hereby waives all rights to a trial by jury.
