 1. Terms of Purchase. The Participant hereby accepts the offer of the Company to issue to the Participant, in
accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement,                      Shares of the Company’s Common Stock (such shares,

[Alternative - Payment shall be made in accordance with Section 6 of the Plan.] 
  
 2.1. Company’s Lapsing Repurchase Right. 
  
 (a) Lapsing Repurchase Right. Except as set forth in Subsection 2.1(b)
hereof, if for any reason the Participant no longer is an employee, director or consultant of the Company or an Affiliate prior to
                    , 20  , the Company (or its designee) shall have the option, but not the obligation, to purchase from the
Participant (or the Participant’s Survivor), and, if the Company exercises such option, the Participant (or the Participant’s Survivor) shall be obligated 










 
to sell to the Company (or its designee), at a price per Granted Share equal to the Purchase Price, all or any part of the Granted Shares set forth in
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) below (the “Lapsing Repurchase Right”). The Company’s Lapsing Repurchase Right shall be valid for a period of one year commencing with the date of such termination of employment or service.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if the Company is prohibited during such one year period from exercising its Lapsing Repurchase Right by Section 160 of the Delaware General Corporation Law as amended from time to time (or any
successor provision), then the time period during which such Lapsing Repurchase Right may be exercised shall be extended until 30 days after the Company is first not so prohibited. 
  
 (i) If such termination is prior to
                    , 200  , the Company shall have the option to repurchase all of the Granted Shares acquired by the
Participant hereunder. 
  
 (ii) If such
termination is on or after                     , 200  , the Company shall have the option to repurchase all of the Granted
Shares less                      of the Granted Shares for each full year elapsed after such date that the Participant continues to serve as
an employee, director or consultant of the Company or an Affiliate. 
  
 (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Company or an Affiliate terminates the Participant’s employment or service for “Cause” (as defined in the Plan) or if
the Administrator determines, within 90 days after the Participant’s termination, that either prior or subsequent to the Participant’s termination the Participant engaged in conduct that would constitute “cause,” the Company
shall have the option to repurchase all of the Granted Shares acquired by the Participant hereunder at the Purchase Price. 
  
 (b) Effect of Termination for Disability or upon Death. Except as otherwise provided in Subsection 2.1(a)(iii) above, the following rules apply if
the Participant ceases to be an employee, director or consultant of the Company or an Affiliate by reason of Disability or death: to the extent the Company’s Lapsing Repurchase Right has not lapsed as of the date of Disability or death, as case
may be, the Company may exercise such Lapsing Repurchase Right; provided, however, that the Company’s Lapsing Repurchase Right shall be deemed to have lapsed to the extent of a pro rata portion of the Granted Shares through the date of
Disability or death, as would have lapsed had the Participant not become Disabled or died, as the case may be. The proration shall be based upon the number of days accrued in such current vesting period prior to the Participant’s date of
Disability or death, as the case may be. 
  
 (c) Closing.
If the Company exercises the Lapsing Repurchase Right, the Company shall notify the Participant, or, in the case of the Participant’s death, his or her Survivor, in writing of its intent to repurchase the Granted Shares. Such notice may be
mailed by the Company up to and including the last day of the time period provided for above for exercise of the Lapsing Repurchase Right. The notice shall specify the place, time and date for payment of the repurchase price (the
“Closing”) and the number of Granted Shares with respect to which the Company is exercising the Lapsing Repurchase Right. The Closing shall be not less than ten days nor more than 60 days from the date of mailing of the notice, and the
Participant or the 

  

 2 








 
Participant’s Survivor with respect to the Granted Shares which the Company elects to repurchase shall have no further rights as the owner thereof from
and after the date specified in the notice. At the Closing, the repurchase price shall be delivered to the Participant or the Participant’s Survivor and the Granted Shares being repurchased, duly endorsed for transfer, shall, to the extent that
they are not then in the possession of the Company, be delivered to the Company by the Participant or the Participant’s Survivor. 
  
 (d) Escrow. The certificates representing all Granted Shares acquired by the Participant hereunder which from time to time are subject to the
Lapsing Repurchase Right shall be delivered to the Company and the Company shall hold such Granted Shares in escrow as provided in this Subsection 2.1(d). Promptly following receipt by the Company of a written request from the Participant, the
Company shall release from escrow and deliver to the Participant a certificate for the whole number of Granted Shares, if any, as to which the Company’s Lapsing Repurchase Right has lapsed. In the event of a repurchase by the Company of Granted
Shares subject to the Lapsing Repurchase Right, the Company shall release from escrow and cancel a certificate for the number of Granted Shares so repurchased. Any securities distributed in respect of the Granted Shares held in escrow, including,
without limitation, shares issued as a result of stock splits, stock dividends or other recapitalizations, shall also be held in escrow in the same manner as the Granted Shares. 
  
 (e) Prohibition on Transfer. The Participant recognizes and agrees that all Granted Shares which are subject to the
Lapsing Repurchase Right may not be sold, transferred, assigned, hypothecated, pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, other than to the Company (or its designee). However, the Participant, with the
approval of the Administrator, may transfer the Granted Shares for no consideration to or for the benefit of the Participant’s Immediate Family (including, without limitation, to a trust for the benefit of the Participant’s Immediate
Family or to a partnership or limited liability company for one or more members of the Participant’s Immediate Family), subject to such limits as the Administrator may establish, and the transferee shall remain subject to all the terms and
conditions applicable to this Agreement prior to such transfer and each such transferee shall so acknowledge in writing as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of such transfer. The term “Immediate Family” shall mean the
Participant’s spouse, former spouse, parents, children, stepchildren, adoptive relationships, sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews and grandchildren (and, for this purpose, shall also include the Participant. The Company shall not be required
to transfer any Granted Shares on its books which shall have been sold, assigned or otherwise transferred in violation of this Subsection 2.1(e), or to treat as the owner of such Granted Shares, or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay
dividends to, any person or organization to which any such Granted Shares shall have been so sold, assigned or otherwise transferred, in violation of this Subsection 2.1(e). 
  
 (f) Failure to Deliver Granted Shares to be Repurchased. If the Granted Shares to be repurchased by the Company under
this Agreement are not in the Company’s possession pursuant to Subsection 2.1(d) above or otherwise and the Participant or the Participant’s Survivor fails to deliver such Granted Shares to the Company (or its designee), the Company may
elect (i) to establish a segregated account in the amount of the repurchase price, such account to be turned over to the Participant or the Participant’s Survivor upon delivery of such Granted Shares, 

  

 3 








 
and (ii) immediately to take such action as is appropriate to transfer record title of such Granted Shares from the Participant to the Company (or its
designee) and to treat the Participant and such Granted Shares in all respects as if delivery of such Granted Shares had been made as required by this Agreement. The Participant hereby irrevocably grants the Company a power of attorney which shall
be coupled with an interest for the purpose of effectuating the preceding sentence. 
  
 (g) Adjustments. The Plan contains provisions covering the treatment of Shares in a number of contingencies such as stock splits and mergers. Provisions in the Plan for adjustment with respect to the Shares and
the related provisions with respect to successors to the business of the Company are hereby made applicable hereunder and are incorporated herein by reference. 
  

3. Legend. In addition to any legend required pursuant to the Plan, all certificates representing the Granted Shares to be issued to the
Participant pursuant to this Agreement shall have endorsed thereon a legend substantially as follows: 
  
 “The shares represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions set forth in a Restricted Stock Agreement dated as of
                    , 200   with this Company, a copy of which Agreement is available for inspection at the offices of the
Company or will be made available upon request.” 
  
 4.
Purchase for Investment; Securities Law Compliance. If the offering and sale of the Granted Shares have not been effectively registered under the 1933 Act, the Participant hereby represents and warrants that he or she is acquiring the Granted
Shares for his or her own account, for investment, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such Granted Shares. The Participant specifically acknowledges and agrees that any sales of Granted Shares shall be
made in accordance with the requirements of the 1933 Act, in a transaction as to which the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it confirming such compliance. The Participant shall be bound by the provisions of the
following legend which shall be endorsed upon the certificate(s) evidencing the Shares issued: 
  
 “The shares represented by this certificate have been taken for investment and they may not be sold or otherwise transferred by any person, including
a pledgee, unless (1) either (a) a Registration Statement with respect to such shares shall be effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (b) the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it
that an exemption from registration under such Act is then available, and (2) there shall have been compliance with all applicable state securities laws.” 
  
 5. Incorporation of the Plan. The Participant specifically understands and agrees that the Granted Shares issued
under the Plan are being sold to the Participant pursuant to the Plan, a copy of which Plan the Participant acknowledges he or she has read and understands and by which Plan he or she agrees to be bound. The provisions of the Plan are incorporated
herein by reference.

 6. Tax Liability of the Participant and Payment of Taxes. The Participant acknowledges and agrees
that any income or other taxes due from the Participant with respect to the Granted Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Lapsing Repurchase Right, shall be the Participant’s responsibility. Without
limiting the foregoing, the Participant agrees that, to the extent that the lapsing of restrictions on disposition of any of the Granted Shares or the declaration of dividends on any such shares before the lapse of such restrictions on disposition
results in the Participant’s being deemed to be in receipt of earned income under the provisions of the Code, the Company shall be entitled to immediate payment from the Participant of the amount of any tax required to be withheld by the
Company. 
  
 Upon execution of this Agreement, the Participant may
file an election under Section 83 of the Code in substantially the form attached as Exhibit B. The Participant acknowledges that if she does not file such an election, as the Granted Shares are released from the Lapsing Repurchase Right
in accordance with Section 2.1, the Participant will have income for tax purposes equal to the fair market value of the Granted Shares at such date, less the price paid for the Granted Shares by the Participant. 
  
 7. Equitable Relief. The Participant specifically acknowledges and
agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement or the Plan, including the attempted transfer of the Granted Shares by the Participant in violation of this Agreement, monetary damages may not be adequate
to compensate the Company, and, therefore, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any right to damages, the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief in any court having competent jurisdiction. Nothing herein shall be
construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for any such breach or threatened breach. 
  
 8. No Obligation to Maintain Relationship. The Company is not by the Plan or this Agreement obligated to continue the Participant as an employee,
director or consultant of the Company or an Affiliate. The Participant acknowledges: (i) that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; (ii) that the grant of the Shares is a
one-time benefit which does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of shares, or benefits in lieu of shares; (iii) that all determinations with respect to any such future grants, including, but not limited to, the
times when shares shall be granted, the number of shares to be granted, the purchase price, and the time or times when each share shall be free from a lapsing repurchase right, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) that the
Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; (v) that the value of the Shares is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the Participant’s employment contract, if any; and (vi) that the Shares
are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.

respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. No statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement not expressly set forth in this

CONSENT OF SPOUSE 
  
 I,
                                        
            , spouse of
                                        
            , acknowledge that I have read the RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT dated as of
                    , 200     (the “Agreement”) to which this Consent is attached as Exhibit A and that I
know its contents. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement. I am aware that by its provisions the Granted Shares granted to my spouse pursuant to the Agreement are subject to a
Lapsing Repurchase Right in favor of dELiA*s, Inc. (the “Company”) and that, accordingly, the Company has the right to repurchase up to all of the Granted Shares of which I may become possessed as a result of a gift from my spouse or a
court decree and/or any property settlement in any domestic litigation. 
  
 I hereby agree that my interest, if any, in the Granted Shares subject to the Agreement shall be irrevocably bound by the Agreement and further understand and agree that any community property interest I may have in the Granted Shares shall
be similarly bound by the Agreement. 
  
 I agree to the Lapsing
Repurchase Right described in the Agreement and I hereby consent to the repurchase of the Granted Shares by the Company and the sale of the Granted Shares by my spouse or my spouse’s legal representative in accordance with the provisions of the
Agreement. Further, as part of the consideration for the Agreement, I agree that at my death, if I have not disposed of any interest of mine in the Granted Shares by an outright bequest of the Granted Shares to my spouse, then the Company shall have
the same rights against my legal representative to exercise its rights of repurchase with respect to any interest of mine in the Granted Shares as it would have had pursuant to the Agreement if I had acquired the Granted Shares pursuant to a court
decree in domestic litigation. 
  
 I AM AWARE THAT THE LEGAL,
FINANCIAL AND RELATED MATTERS CONTAINED IN THE AGREEMENT ARE COMPLEX AND THAT I AM FREE TO SEEK INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE OR COUNSEL WITH RESPECT TO THIS CONSENT. I HAVE EITHER SOUGHT SUCH GUIDANCE OR COUNSEL OR DETERMINED AFTER REVIEWING
THE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY THAT I WILL WAIVE SUCH RIGHT. 
  
 Dated as of the                  day of
