Restricted Stock Award Agreement


 Exhibit 10.3 

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT 

UNDER THE 

DESTINATION MATERNITY CORPORATION 

2005 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN 

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made by and between Destination Maternity Corporation, a
Delaware corporation, (the “Company”) and Emilia Fabricant (the “Grantee”). 

WHEREAS, the Company maintains the Mothers Work, Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for the benefit of its
employees, directors, consultants, and other individuals who provide services to the Company; and 
 WHEREAS, the Plan permits
the grant of Restricted Stock; and 
 WHEREAS, to compensate the Grantee for his or her service to the Company and to further
align the Grantee’s financial interests with those of the Company’s other stockholders, the Board approved this Award of Restricted Stock on May 24, 2010 (the “Effective Date”), subject to the restrictions and on the
terms and conditions contained in the Plan and this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and the
agreements set forth herein, the parties, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows: 
 1. Award of
Restricted Shares. The Company hereby awards the Grantee 7,500 Shares of Restricted Stock, subject to the restrictions and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (the “Restricted Shares”). The
terms of the Plan are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by this reference, as though fully set forth herein. Except as otherwise provided herein, capitalized terms herein will have the same meaning as defined in the Plan. 

2. Vesting of Restricted Shares. The Restricted Shares are subject to forfeiture to the Company until they become
nonforfeitable in accordance with this Section 2. While subject to forfeiture, the Restricted Shares may not be sold, pledged, assigned, otherwise encumbered or transferred in any manner, whether voluntarily or involuntarily by the operation of
law. 
 (a) Vesting Based on Continued Service. 20% of the Restricted Shares will become nonforfeitable on each of the
first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the Effective Date, provided in each case that the Grantee remains continuously employed or engaged by the Company through the applicable anniversary. 

(b) Unvested Shares Forfeited Upon Cessation of Service. Upon any cessation of the Grantee’s service with the Company
(whether initiated by the Company, Grantee or otherwise): (i) any Restricted Shares that are not then nonforfeitable will immediately and automatically, without any action on the part of the Company, be forfeited, and (ii) the Grantee will
have no further rights with respect to those shares. 






 3. Issuance of Shares. 

(a) The Company will cause the Restricted Shares to be issued in the Grantee’s name either by book-entry registration or issuance of
a stock certificate or certificates. 
 (b) While the Restricted Shares remain forfeitable, the Company will cause an
appropriate stop-transfer order to be issued and to remain in effect with respect to the Restricted Shares. As soon as practicable following the time that any Restricted Share becomes nonforfeitable (and provided that appropriate arrangements have
been made with the Company for the withholding or payment of any taxes that may be due with respect to such Share), the Company will cause that stop-transfer order to be removed. The Company may also condition delivery of certificates for Restricted
Shares upon receipt from the Grantee of any undertakings that it may determine are appropriate to facilitate compliance with federal and state securities laws. 

(c) If any certificate is issued in respect of Restricted Shares, that certificate will be legended as described in Section 8(b) of
the Plan and held in escrow by the Company’s secretary or his or her designee. In addition, the Grantee may be required to execute and deliver to the Company a stock power with respect to those Restricted Shares. At such time as those
Restricted Shares become nonforfeitable, the Company will cause a new certificate to be issued without that portion of the legend referencing the previously applicable forfeiture conditions and will cause that new certificate to be delivered to the
Grantee (again, provided that appropriate arrangements have been made with the Company for the withholding or payment of any taxes that may be due with respect to such Shares). 

4. Substitute Property. If, while any of the Restricted Shares remain subject to forfeiture, there occurs a merger,
reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend or other similar event or transaction resulting in new, substituted or additional securities being issued or delivered to the Grantee by reason of the Grantee’s ownership of the
Restricted Shares, such securities will constitute “Restricted Shares” for all purposes of this Agreement and any certificate issued to evidence such securities will immediately be deposited with the secretary of the Company (or his
or her designee) and subject to the escrow described in Section 3(c), above. 
 5. Rights of Grantee During
Restricted Period. The Grantee will have the right to vote the Restricted Shares and to receive dividends and distributions with respect to the Restricted Shares; provided, however, that any cash dividends or distributions paid in
respect of the Restricted Shares while those Shares remain subject to forfeiture will be delivered to the Grantee only if and when the Restricted Shares giving rise to such dividends or distributions become nonforfeitable. 

6. Securities Laws. The Board may from time to time impose any conditions on the Restricted Shares as it deems
necessary or advisable to ensure that the Restricted Shares are issued and resold in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 

7. Tax Consequences. The Grantee acknowledges that the Company has not advised the Grantee regarding the
Grantee’s income tax liability in connection with the grant of or the lapse of forfeiture restrictions on the Restricted Shares. The Grantee has had the opportunity to review with his or her own tax advisors the federal, state and local tax

consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Grantee is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.
The Grantee understands that the Grantee (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Grantee’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

8. The Plan. This Award of Restricted Shares is subject to, and the Grantee agrees to be bound by, all of the terms
and conditions of the Plan, as such Plan may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof. Pursuant to the Plan, the Board is authorized to adopt rules and regulations not inconsistent with the Plan as it shall deem appropriate
and proper. A copy of the Plan in its present form is available for inspection during business hours by the Grantee at the Company’s principal office. All questions of the interpretation and application of the Plan and the Grantee shall be
determined by the Board and any such determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. 
 9. Entire
Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Plan, represents the entire agreement between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, and merges and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous discussions, agreements and
understandings of every nature. 
 10. Tax Withholding. The Company hereby agrees that, at the election of
the Grantee and except as would otherwise violate the terms of any financing agreement to which the Company is then a party, the minimum required tax withholding obligations arising in connection with this Award may be settled in nonforfeitable
Shares subject to this Award based on the Fair Market Value of those Shares. 
 11. Governing Law. This
Agreement will be construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to the application of the principles of conflicts of laws. 

12. Amendment. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, this Agreement may only be amended by a writing signed by each
of the parties hereto. 
 13. Execution. This Agreement may be executed, including execution by facsimile
signature, in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.
