Given the position offered within the Company, this offer is contingent upon approval by the Compensation Committee, which we anticipate receiving shortly.
This offer letter and the terms of our offer are strictly confidential. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to keep this offer and its terms confidential and you will not disclose the offer or its terms to any third party (excluding
your spouse, lawyer, tax advisor or pursuant to court order). You understand that if you breach this provision the offer will be automatically revoked and the Company will have no obligation to you. 

Anticipated Start Date: (“Start Date”): The Company anticipates that your first month of employment will be January 2014. 

Salary: You will receive an annualized base salary of $700,000, payable every 2 weeks in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll
practices. 
 Sign-on Bonus: You will receive a one time lump sum cash bonus of $500,000 (gross) that will be paid within your first month of
your Start Date. In the event that you leave your employment with the Company before the sign-on bonus repayment period has lapsed, your responsibilities are set forth in the attached repayment agreement.

$560,000 with a maximum up to 160% of your salary equal to $1,120,000. You will first be eligible to receive this bonus for the Company’s FY2014 (to be paid in Spring, 2015). The Spring, 2015 bonus will be based on a percentage of your actual
wages earned during our 2014 fiscal year. For each performance year, the value of the Bonus will be determined in the sole discretion of management, based upon: [i] the achievement of the Company and Brand (where applicable) financial
performance-based goals to be established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”); and [ii] your overall level of performance. In order to be eligible to receive an Annual Incentive Compensation Bonus, you

 Additionally, upon your hire, you will be eligible for consideration for a PS grant with an
expected target value of $600,000.The grant price will be the closing price of AEO common stock on the grant date. 
 Vesting of the PS will be contingent
upon the achievement of Company performance goals for a given 3-year period. Based upon Company performance, the units will vest at the end of the 3-year period. The actual number of units vested will be based upon a sliding performance scale,
varying between 0-150% of the target award. Shares not vested will be forfeited. 
 The units will be part of the grant made by the Committee pursuant to
and subject to all terms and conditions set forth in the Company’s 2005A Plan. It is the parties’ intention that the 2005A Plan be adopted and administered in a manner that enables the Company to deduct for federal income tax purposes the
full value of all PS grants. Any award is subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable plan document and individual award agreement, if any, including but not limited to any vesting and forfeiture provisions. 

The Company reserves the right in its sole discretion to change or modify the manner or mode of delivering compensation and benefits for a performance year
that the Company, in its sole discretion, deems equivalent. 
 Performance Review: Performance appraisals generally take place in March. You
will be eligible to receive your first evaluation for merit consideration in Spring 2015 with a retro-active effective date to the beginning of the 2015 fiscal year. 

Benefits Plans and Other Programs: You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s benefit plans and programs that the Company offers
