thereto, remove members (with or without cause) and appoint new members in substitution therefor, fill vacancies however caused, or remove all members of the Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan. 

The Board will have full authority to grant Awards under this Plan and determine the terms of such Awards. Such authority will include

Award issued under the Plan (and any Award Agreement); and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan. The Board may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award Agreement in the
manner and to the extent it deems necessary to carry out the intent of the Plan. 
 All decisions made by the Board pursuant to
the provisions of the Plan will be final and binding on all persons, including the Company and Participants. No Director will be liable for any good faith determination, act or omission in connection with the Plan or any Award. 

SECTION 3. Shares Subject to the Plan. 
 (a) Shares Subject to the Plan. The Shares to be subject to or related to Awards under the Plan will be authorized and unissued Shares of the Company, whether or not previously issued and
subsequently acquired by the Company. The maximum number of Shares that may be issued in respect of Awards under the Plan is 2,000,000. The Company will reserve for the purposes of the Plan, out of its authorized and unissued Shares, such number of
Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no individual may granted Awards with respect to more than 400,000 Shares in any calendar year. In addition, not more than 1,000,000 Shares will be issued hereunder in respect of Restricted Stock or Restricted
Stock Units. 
 (b) Effect of the Expiration or Termination of Awards. If and to the extent that an Option or SAR
expires, terminates or is canceled or forfeited for any reason without having been exercised in full, the Shares associated with that Option or SAR will again become available for grant under the Plan. Similarly, if and to the extent an Award of
Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or a Performance Award is canceled, forfeited or repurchased for any reason, the Shares subject to that Award will again become available for grant under the Plan. In addition, if any Share is withheld
pursuant to Section 12(e) in settlement of a tax withholding obligation associated with an Award, that Share will again become available for grant under the Plan. 
 (c) Other Adjustment. In the event of any recapitalization, stock split or combination, stock dividend, spin-off, merger, reorganization or other similar event or transaction affecting the Shares,
substitutions 

  
 4 







 
or adjustments will be made by the Board to the aggregate number, class and/or issuer of the securities that may be issued under the Plan, to the number, class and/or issuer of securities subject
to outstanding Awards, and to the exercise price of outstanding Options or SARs, in each case in a manner that reflects equitably the effects of such event or transaction. 
 (d) Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Plan, upon or in anticipation of any Change in Control, the Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion and
without the need for the consent of any Participant, take one or more of the following actions contingent upon the occurrence of that Change in Control: (i) cause any or all outstanding Options or SARs to become vested and/or immediately
exercisable, in whole or in part; (ii) cause any or all outstanding Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units to become non-forfeitable, in whole or in part; (iii) cancel any Option in exchange for a substitute option in a manner
consistent with the requirements of Treas. Reg. §1.424-1(a) (notwithstanding the fact that the original Option may never have been intended to satisfy the requirements for treatment as an Incentive Stock Option); (iv) cancel any
Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or SAR in exchange for restricted stock, restricted stock units or stock appreciation rights in respect of the capital stock of any successor corporation or its parent; (v) cancel any Option or SAR in
exchange for cash and/or other substitute consideration with a value equal to (A) the number of Shares subject to that Option or SAR, multiplied by (B) the difference, if any, between the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of the
Change in Control and the exercise price of that Option or SAR; provided, that if the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of the Change in Control does not exceed the exercise price of any such Option or SAR, the Board may cancel that
Option or SAR without any payment of consideration therefor; or (vi) cancel any Restricted Stock Unit in exchange for cash and/or other substitute consideration with a value equal to the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of the Change in
Control. In the discretion of the Board, any cash or substitute consideration payable upon cancellation of an Award may be subjected to vesting terms substantially identical to those that applied to the cancelled Award immediately prior to the
Change in Control. 
 SECTION 4. Eligibility. Employees, Directors, consultants, and other individuals who provide
services to the Company or its Affiliates are eligible to be granted Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that only employees of the Company, its Parent or a Subsidiary are eligible to be granted Incentive Stock Options. 

SECTION 5. Options. Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: (i) Incentive Stock Options or
(ii) Non-Qualified Stock Options. Any Option granted under the Plan will be in such form as the Board may at the time of such grant approve. Without limiting the generality of Section 3(a), any or all of the Shares reserved for
issuance under Section 3(a) may be issued in respect of Incentive Stock Options. 
 The Award Agreement evidencing
any Option will incorporate the following terms and conditions and will contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Board deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion: 

(a) Option Price. The exercise price per Share purchasable under any Option will be determined by the Board and will not be less
than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of the grant. However, any Incentive Stock Option granted to any Participant who, at the time the Option is granted, owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of shares of the
Company, its Parent or a Subsidiary will have an exercise price per Share of not less than 110% of Fair Market Value per Share on the date of the grant. 
 (b) Option Term. The term of each Option will be fixed by the Board, but no Option will be exercisable more than 10 years after the date the Option is granted. However, any Incentive Stock Option
granted 

  
 5 







 
to any Participant who, at the time such Option is granted, owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of shares of the Company, its Parent or a Subsidiary may not have a term of more
than five years. No Option may be exercised by any person after expiration of the term of the Option. 
 (c)
Exercisability. Options will vest and be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Board. 
 (d) Method of Exercise. Subject to the terms of the applicable Award Agreement, the exercisability provisions of Section 5(c) and the termination provisions of Section 7,
Options may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time during their term by the delivery of written notice to the Company specifying the number of Shares to be purchased. Such notice will be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase
price, either by certified or bank check, or such other means as the Board may accept. As determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, payment of the exercise price of an Option may be made in the form of previously acquired Shares based on the
Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the Option is exercised; provided, however, that, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the right to make a payment in the form of previously acquired Shares may be authorized only at the time
the Option is granted. 
 No Shares will be issued upon exercise of an Option until full payment therefor has been made. A
Participant will not have the right to distributions or dividends or any other rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares subject to the Option until the Participant has given written notice of exercise, has paid in full for such Shares, if
requested, has given the representation described in Section 11(a) hereof and fulfills such other conditions as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. 
 (e) Incentive Stock Option Limitations. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive
Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year under the Plan and/or any other plan of the Company, its Parent or any Subsidiary will not exceed $100,000. For purposes of applying the foregoing
limitation, Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order granted. To the extent any Option does not meet such limitation, that Option will be treated for all purposes as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 

(f) Termination of Service. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Award Agreement, Options will be subject to the terms of
Section 7 with respect to exercise upon or following termination of employment or other service. 
 (g)
Transferability of Options. Except as may otherwise be specifically determined by the Board with respect to a particular Option: (i) no Option will be transferable by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution, and (ii) during the Participant’s lifetime, an Option will be exercisable only by the Participant (or, in the event of the Participant’s Disability, by his personal representative). 

SECTION 6. Stock Appreciation Rights. 
 (a) Nature of Award. Upon the exercise of a SAR, its holder will be entitled to receive an amount equal to the excess (if any) of: (i) the Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by such SAR
as of the date such SAR is exercised, over (ii) the Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by such SAR as of the date such SAR was granted. Such amount may be paid in either cash and/or Shares, as determined by the Board in its sole and
absolute discretion. 

  
 6 







 (b) Terms and Conditions. The Award Agreement evidencing any SAR will incorporate the
following terms and conditions and will contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Board deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion: 

(i) Term of SAR. Unless otherwise specified in the Award Agreement, the term of a SAR will be ten years. 

(ii) Exercisability. SARs will vest and become exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as will
be determined by the Board at the time of grant. 
 (iii) Method of Exercise. Subject to terms of the applicable Award
Agreement, the exercisability provisions of Section 6(b)(ii) and the termination provisions of Section 7, SARs may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time during their term by delivery of written notice to the
Company specifying the portion of the SAR to be exercised. 
 (iv) Termination of Service. Unless otherwise specified in
the Award Agreement, SARs will be subject to the terms of Section 7 with respect to exercise upon termination of employment or other service. 
 (v) Non-Transferability. Except as may otherwise be specifically determined by the Board with respect to a particular SAR: (A) SARs may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, gifted,
transferred or disposed of in any manner either voluntarily or involuntarily by operation of law, other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution, and (B) during the Participant’s lifetime, SARs will be exercisable only by the
Participant (or, in the event of the Participant’s Disability, by his personal representative). 
 SECTION 7.
Termination of Service. Unless otherwise specified with respect to a particular Option or SAR in the applicable Award Agreement, Options or SARs granted hereunder will be exercisable after termination of service only to the extent
specified in this Section 7. 
 (a) Termination by Reason of Death. If a Participant’s service with the
Company or any Affiliate terminates by reason of death, any Option or SAR held by such Participant may thereafter be exercised, to the extent then exercisable or on such accelerated basis as the Board may determine at or after grant, by the legal
representative of the estate or by the legatee of the Participant under the will of the Participant, for a period expiring (i) at such time as may be specified by the Board at or after grant, or (ii) if not specified by the Board, then 12
months from the date of death, or (iii) if sooner than the applicable period specified under (i) or (ii) above, upon the expiration of the stated term of such Option or SAR. 

(b) Termination by Reason of Disability. If a Participant’s service with the Company or any Affiliate terminates by reason of
Disability, any Option or SAR held by such Participant may thereafter be exercised by the Participant or his personal representative, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of termination, or on such accelerated basis as the Board may
determine at or after grant, for a period expiring (i) at such time as may be specified by the Board at or after grant, or (ii) if not specified by the Board, then 12 months from the date of termination of service, or (iii) if sooner
than the applicable period specified under (i) or (ii) above, upon the expiration of the stated term of such Option or SAR. 

  
 7 







 (c) Cause. If a Participant’s service with the Company or any Affiliate is
terminated for Cause: (i) any Option or SAR not already exercised will be immediately and automatically forfeited as of the date of such termination, and (ii) any Shares for which the Company has not yet delivered share certificates will
be immediately and automatically forfeited and the Company will refund to the Participant the Option exercise price paid for such Shares, if any. 
 (d) Other Termination. If a Participant’s service with the Company or any Affiliate terminates for any reason other than death, Disability or Cause, any Option or SAR held by such Participant
may thereafter be exercised by the Participant, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of such termination, or on such accelerated basis as the Board may determine at or after grant, for a period expiring (i) at such time as may be
specified by the Board at or after grant, or (ii) if not specified by the Board, then 90 days from the date of termination of service, or (iii) if sooner than the applicable period specified under (i) or (ii) above, upon the
expiration of the stated term of such Option or SAR. 
 SECTION 8. Restricted Stock. 

(a) Issuance. Restricted Stock may be issued either alone or in conjunction with other Awards. The Board will determine the time
or times within which Restricted Stock may be subject to forfeiture, and all other conditions of such Awards. The purchase price for Restricted Stock may, but need not, be zero. The prospective recipient of an Award of Restricted Stock will not have
any rights with respect to such Award, unless and until such recipient has delivered to the Company an executed Award Agreement and has otherwise complied with the applicable terms and conditions of such Award. 

(b) Certificates. A share certificate will be issued in connection with each Award of Restricted Stock. Such certificate will be
registered in the name of the Participant receiving the Award, and will bear the following legend and/or any other legend required by this Plan, the Award Agreement or by applicable law: 

THE TRANSFERABILITY OF THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE DESTINATION
MATERNITY CORPORATION 2005 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN AND AN AWARD AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BETWEEN [THE PARTICIPANT] AND DESTINATION MATERNITY CORPORATION COPIES OF THAT PLAN AND AGREEMENT ARE ON FILE IN THE PRINCIPAL OFFICES OF DESTINATION MATERNITY
CORPORATION AND WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE WITHOUT CHARGE UPON REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY. 

Share certificates evidencing Restricted Stock will be held in custody by the Company or in escrow by an escrow agent until the restrictions thereon have
lapsed. As a condition to any Award of Restricted Stock, the Participant may be required to deliver to the Company a share power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Shares covered by such Award. 

  
 8 







 (c) Restrictions and Conditions. The Award Agreement evidencing the grant of any
Restricted Stock will incorporate the following terms and conditions and such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Board deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion: 

(i) During a period commencing with the date of an Award of Restricted Stock and ending at such time or times as specified by the Board
(the “Restriction Period”), the Participant will not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise encumber Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan. The Board may condition the lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock
upon the continued employment or service of the recipient, the attainment of specified individual or corporate performance goals, or such other factors as the Board may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion. 

(ii) Except as provided in this paragraph (ii) or the applicable Award Agreement, once the Participant has been issued a
certificate or certificates for Restricted Stock, the Participant will have, with respect to the Restricted Stock, all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote the Shares, and the right to receive any cash
distributions or dividends. The Board, in its sole discretion, may require cash distributions or dividends to be subjected to the same Restriction Period as is applicable to the Restricted Stock with respect to which such amounts are paid, or, if
the Board so determines, reinvested in additional Restricted Stock to the extent Shares are available under Section 3(a) of the Plan. Any distributions or dividends paid in the form of securities with respect to Restricted Stock will be
subject to the same terms and conditions as the Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid, including, without limitation, the same Restriction Period. 
 (iii) Subject to the provisions of the applicable Award Agreement, if a Participant’s service with the Company and it Affiliates terminates prior to the expiration of the applicable Restriction
Period, the Participant’s Restricted Stock that then remains subject to forfeiture will then be forfeited automatically. 

(iv) If and when the Restriction Period expires without a prior forfeiture of the Restricted Stock subject to such Restriction Period
(or if and when the restrictions applicable to Restricted Stock are removed pursuant to Section 3(d) or otherwise), the certificates for such Shares will be replaced with new certificates, without the restrictive legends described in
Section 8(b) applicable to such lapsed restrictions, and such new certificates will be delivered to the Participant, the Participant’s representative (if the Participant has suffered a Disability), or the Participant’s estate
or heir (if the Participant has died). 
 SECTION 9. Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the other terms of the
Plan, the Board may grant Restricted Stock Units to eligible individuals and may impose conditions on such units as it may deem appropriate. Each Restricted Stock Unit shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in the form that is approved by the
Board and that is not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of the Plan. Each Restricted Stock Unit will represent a right to receive from the Company, upon fulfillment of any applicable conditions, an amount equal to the Fair Market Value (at
the time of the distribution) of one Share. Distributions may be made in cash and/or Shares. All other terms governing Restricted Stock Units, such as vesting, time and form of payment and termination of units shall be set forth in the applicable
Award Agreement. 
 SECTION 10. Performance Awards. 

(a) Performance Awards Generally. The Board may grant Performance Awards in accordance with this Section 10.
Performance Awards may be denominated as a number of Shares, or specified number of other Awards (or a combination thereof) which may be earned upon achievement or satisfaction of performance 


  
 9 







 
conditions specified by the Board. In addition, the Board may specify that any other Award shall constitute a Performance Award by conditioning the vesting or settlement of the Award upon the
achievement or satisfaction of such performance conditions as may be specified by the Board. Subject to Section 10(b), the Board may use such business criteria or other measures of performance as it may deem appropriate in establishing
the relevant performance conditions and may, in its discretion, adjust such criteria from time to time. 
 (b) Qualified
Performance-Based Compensation Under Section 162(m). Performance Awards intended to constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code will be granted by the Committee and will be subject
to the terms of this Section 10(b). 
 (i) Specified Business Criteria. The grant, vesting and/or settlement of a
Performance Award subject to this Section 10(b) will be contingent upon achievement of one or more of the following business criteria (subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 10(b)(ii), below): 

(A) the attainment of certain target levels of, or a specified percentage increase in: revenues, income before taxes and
extraordinary items, net income, operating income, earnings before income tax, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, earning per share, after-tax or pre-tax profits, operational cash flow, return on capital employed or
returned on invested capital, after-tax or pre-tax return on stockholders’ equity, the price of the Company’s common stock or a combination of the foregoing; 

(B) the achievement of a certain level of, reduction of, or other specified objectives with regard to limiting the level
of increase in, the Company’s bank debt or other public or private debt or financial obligations; 
 (C) the
attainment of a certain level of, reduction of, or other specified objectives with regard to limiting the level in or increase in all or a portion of controllable expenses or costs or other expenses or costs; and/or 

(D) any other objective business criteria that would not cause an Award to fail to constitute “qualified
performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. 
 Performance goals may be established on a
Company-wide basis or with respect to one or more business units, divisions, Affiliates, or products; and in either absolute terms or relative to the performance of one or more comparable companies or an index covering multiple companies. The
performance goals for a particular performance period need not be the same for all Participants. 
 (ii) Adjustments to
Performance Goals. The Committee may provide, at the time performance goals are established in accordance with Section 10(b)(i), that adjustments will be made to those performance goals to take into account, in any objective manner
specified by the Committee, the impact of one or more of the following: (A) gain or loss from all or certain claims and/or litigation and insurance recoveries, (B) the impairment of tangible or intangible assets, (C) stock-based
compensation expense, (D) extraordinary, unusual or infrequently occurring events reported in the Company’s public filings, (E) restructuring activities reported in the Company’s public filings, (F) investments, dispositions
or acquisitions, (G) loss from the disposal of certain assets, (H) gain or loss from the early extinguishment, redemption, or repurchase of debt, (I) cash or non-cash charges related to store closing expenses, (J) changes in
accounting principles, or (K) any other item, event or circumstance that would not cause an Award to fail to constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” 

  
 10 








 
under Section 162(m) of the Code. An adjustment described in this Section 10(b)(ii) may relate to the Company or to any subsidiary, division or other operational unit of the
Company or its Affiliates, as determined by the Committee at the time the performance goals are established. Any adjustment shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and standards, unless such other objective
method of measurement is designated by the Committee at the time performance objectives are established. In addition, adjustments will be made as necessary to any performance criteria related to the Company’s stock to reflect changes in
corporate capitalization, including a recapitalization, stock split or combination, stock dividend, spin-off, merger, reorganization or other similar event or transaction affecting the Company’s stock. 

(c) Other Terms of Performance Awards. The Board may specify other terms pertinent to a Performance Award in the applicable Award
Agreement, including terms relating to the treatment of that Award in the event of a Change in Control prior to the end of the applicable performance period. 
 SECTION 11. Amendments and Termination. The Board may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan at any time. However, except as otherwise provided in Section 3, no amendment,
alteration or discontinuation will be made which would impair the rights of a Participant with respect to an Award without that Participant’s consent or which, without the approval of such amendment within 365 days of its adoption by the Board
by the Company’s stockholders in a manner consistent with Treas. Reg. § 1.422-3, would: (i) increase the total number of Shares reserved for issuance hereunder, or (ii) change the persons or class of persons eligible to receive
Awards. 
 SECTION 12. General Provisions. 

(a) The Board may require each Participant to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that the Participant is acquiring
securities of the Company for investment purposes and without a view to distribution thereof and as to such other matters as the Board believes are appropriate. 
 (b) All certificates for Shares or other securities delivered under the Plan will be subject to such share-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Board may deem advisable under the rules,
regulations and other requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, any stock exchange upon which the Shares are then listed, and any other applicable federal or state securities law, and the Board may cause a legend or
legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. 
 (c) Nothing contained in the
Plan will prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required. 
 (d) Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the execution of any document in connection with the Plan will: (i) confer upon any employee of the Company or an Affiliate any right to continued employment
or engagement with the Company or such Affiliate, or (ii) interfere in any way with the right of the Company or such Affiliate to terminate the employment of any of its employees at any time. 

(e) No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the Participant for federal income tax
purposes with respect to any Award under the Plan, the Participant will pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with
respect to such amount. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the minimum required withholding obligations may be settled with Shares, including Shares that are part of the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of
the Company under the Plan will be conditioned on such payment or arrangements and the Company will have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant.
