Charlotte Russe Holding, Inc. Executive Officer Compensation Program

 Exhibit 10.1 
 CHARLOTTE RUSSE HOLDING, INC. 
 EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION PROGRAM 
 PURPOSE

 The purpose of this Charlotte Russe Holding, Inc. (the “Company”) Executive Officer Compensation Program (the
“Program”) is to align the interests of the Company’s executive officers with the interests of the Company’s stockholders and to attract, motivate and retain talented executive officers to continually maximize
stockholder value. 
 The Program is focused on “pay for performance” and accountability and targets annual base salaries for the
Company’s executive officers at the median of the Company’s peer group of companies (the “Peer Group”) while providing for above-market incentive payments for above-market performance. 
 The Peer Group for each fiscal year shall be approved by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) or the Compensation
Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) on an annual basis, following the completion of the previous fiscal year and with assistance from the Company’s management and outside consultants, in each case as
the Board or the Compensation Committee deems necessary or appropriate. 
 ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES 
 The following Company employees shall be eligible to participate in the Program: 
  

	 	•	 	 President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”); 

  

	 	•	 	 Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”); 

  

	 	•	 	 Executive Vice President, General Merchandise Manager (“GMM”); 

  

	 	•	 	 Executive Vice President, Chief Supply Chain Officer (“CSCO”); and 

  

	 	•	 	 Any other persons named as “executive officers” within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 

 ELEMENTS OF COMPENSATION 
 To accomplish the aforementioned objectives, compensation for the Company’s executive officers generally consists of the following components: cash compensation, consisting of base salary and an annual
incentive bonus; and equity compensation, consisting of stock options and restricted stock grants. 
 Cash Compensation

 Base salaries for each fiscal year shall be approved by the Board or Compensation Committee on an annual basis at or near the
beginning of such fiscal year, and shall be effective as of the first day of the applicable fiscal year. 

 Annual incentive bonuses for each fiscal year shall be approved by the Board or Compensation Committee on
an annual basis following the completion of such fiscal year and shall be calculated as a percentage of each executive officer’s base salary for such fiscal year. 
 Financial Component 
 70% of the annual incentive bonus shall be based upon the Company’s
achievement of operating income goals for the subject fiscal year (the “Financial Component”) that (i) are approved by the Board or the Compensation Committee, in their sole discretion, at the beginning of such fiscal
year and (ii) correspond to the minimum, midpoint and maximum percentages of each executive officer’s base salary as set forth below (the “Bonus Percentages”). 
  

							
	 	  	Percentage of Base Salary
	Title	  	Minimum	 	Midpoint	 	Maximum
	CEO	  	50%	 	75%	 	100%
	CFO	  	25%	 	50%	 	80%
	GMM	  	25%	 	50%	 	80%
	CSCO	  	25%	 	50%	 	80%

 The actual Bonus Percentages for each fiscal year shall be determined by the Board or the
Compensation Committee, in their sole discretion, and may vary from the percentages set forth above. The Financial Component shall be determined by multiplying 70% of the executive officer’s base salary by the Bonus Percentage that corresponds
to the operating income goal achieved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Financial Component shall be paid if the operating income goal for the minimum Bonus Percentage is not achieved. 
 Non-Financial Component 
 30% of each
annual incentive bonus shall be based upon the achievement of non-financial corporate and individual performance goals for the subject fiscal year (the “Non-Financial Component”) approved by the Board or the Compensation
Committee, in their sole discretion, at the beginning of such fiscal year. The Board or the Compensation Committee shall also approve a floor operating income goal for such fiscal year that must be achieved as a condition to any Non-Financial
Component being paid (the “Floor Operating Income Target”). The Non-Financial Component shall be determined by multiplying 30% of the executive officer’s base salary by (i) the Bonus Percentage that corresponds to
the operating income goal achieved (provided that the minimum Bonus Percentage shall be used in the event the operating income goal achieved is equal to or greater than the Floor Operating Income Target and equal to or less than the minimum Bonus
Percentage operating income goal) and (ii) the percentage of the non-financial corporate and individual performance goals actually achieved, as determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee, in their sole discretion. For purposes of
clarity, no Non-Financial Component shall be paid if the Floor Operating Income Target is not achieved. 

 Equity Compensation 
 The Black-Scholes value of each executive officer’s total equity compensation for each fiscal year shall be approximately equal to a percentage of
such executive officer’s base salary for such fiscal year (the “Target Value”) and shall be approved by the Board or the Compensation Committee on an annual basis prior to the beginning of such fiscal year. 

The table below sets forth guidelines for determining the Target Value for each executive officer’s total equity compensation. 
  

							
	 	  	Percentage of Base Salary
	Title	  	Minimum	 	Midpoint	 	Maximum
	CEO	  	75%	 	125%	 	200%
	CFO	  	50%	 	75%	 	125%
	GMM	  	50%	 	75%	 	125%
	CSCO	  	50%	 	75%	 	125%

 The actual Target Value for each executive officer shall be determined by the Board or the
Compensation Committee, in their sole discretion, and may vary from the percentages set forth above based on prior years’ corporate and individual performance. 
 For each fiscal year: 30% of the Target Value shall be in the form of a stock option granted pursuant to the Company’s 1999 Equity Incentive Plan, as may be amended from time to time, or any successor plan
thereto (the “Plan”), approved prior to, and effective as of, the first business day of such fiscal year and subject to vesting in equal annual installments over a three-year period from the date of grant (the
“Stock Option”); 30% of the Target Value shall be in the form of restricted stock granted pursuant to the Plan, approved prior to, and effective as of, the first business day of such fiscal year and subject to vesting in
equal annual installments over a three-year period from the date of grant (the “Time-Based Restricted Stock Grant”); and 40% of the Target Value shall be in the form of restricted stock granted pursuant to the Plan, approved
prior to, and effective as of, the first business day of such fiscal year and subject to performance-based vesting over a three-year period from the date of grant as set forth in the table below (the “Performance-Based Restricted Stock
Grant”); provided, however, that the percentage of the Target Value allocated to the Stock Option, Time-Based Restricted Stock Option Grant and Performance-Based Stock Option Grant shall be subject to adjustment by the Board or
Compensation Committee for each fiscal year.

	 Percentage vested for Three-Year Total Stockholder Returns between the 25th and 75th percentile shall be calculated on a linear scale from 33 1/3% to 100%. 

 “Three-Year Total Stockholder Return” for any three consecutive Company fiscal
years shall be defined as the change in market valuation from the first day of the first such fiscal year through the last day of the third such fiscal year, as determined in good faith by the Board or Compensation Committee. For example, for fiscal
2008, the Three-Year Total Stockholder Return shall be measured from the first day of the Company’s fiscal year 2008 through the last day of the Company’s fiscal year 2010. For each fiscal year, Three-Year Total Stockholder Returns shall
be calculated for each member of the applicable Peer Group and the Company shall be given a percentile ranking. 
 The number of shares
subject to the Stock Option, Time-Based Restricted Stock Grant and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Grant shall be rounded to the nearest 500 shares and determined following the close of business on the first business day of the applicable fiscal
year (the effective date of grant) such that the Black-Scholes value of the Stock Option, Time-Based Restricted Stock Grant and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Grant, based upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock on such day,
shall be equal to 30%, 30% and 40% (or such other percentages as may be determined by the Board or Compensation Committee for each fiscal year), respectively, of the Target Value. Such determination shall be confirmed as accurate by the Compensation
Committee on the effective date of grant pursuant to authority delegated by the Board.Amended and Restated Bylaws

In no event will the public announcement of an adjourned or postponed meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a
stockholder’s notice as described above. Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth (A) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director all information relating to such person that
is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (including such
person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (B) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the
business desired to brought before the meeting (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the Bylaws of the Corporation, the language of the proposed amendment),
the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (C) as to the stockholder giving the notice and
the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner, (ii) the class and number of
shares of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner, (iii) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting
and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such business or nomination, and (iv) a representation whether the stockholder or the beneficial owner, if any, intends or is part of a group which intends (a) to
deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or elect the nominee and/or (b) otherwise to solicit proxies from
stockholders in support of such proposal or nomination. The foregoing notice requirements shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder if the stockholder has notified the Corporation of his or her intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting
in compliance with Rule 14a-8 (or any successor thereof) promulgated under the Exchange Act and such stockholder’s proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual
meeting. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation. 
 (3) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of subparagraph (a)(2) of this Section 2.4 to the contrary, in the event that the
number of directors to be elected to the Board of the Corporation is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for Director or specifying the size of the increased Board made by the Corporation at least 100 days prior
to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 2.4 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if
it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

 (b) Special Meetings of Stockholders. Nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at a
special meeting of stockholders at which, pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting, directors are to be elected either (A) by or at the direction of the Board or (B) by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of
record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 2.4, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.4. Nominations by stockholders of persons for election
to the Board may be made at such special meeting of stockholders if the stockholder’s notice required by subparagraph (a)(2) of this Section 2.4 shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the Corporation not
earlier than the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of
the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of a special meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for
the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. 
 (c) General. 
 (1) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.4 shall be eligible to serve as
directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.4. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Chairman of
the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.4 and, if any proposed nomination or
business is not in compliance with this Section 2.4, to declare that such defective proposal shall be disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the
stockholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present a nomination or business, such nomination shall be disregarded and such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that
proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. 
 (2) For purposes of this Section 2.4,
“public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. 
 (3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.4, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.4. Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be
deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

 Section 2.5 Waiver of Notice. 
 Transactions at a meeting of stockholders, however called and noticed and wherever held, shall be valid as though transacted at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if a quorum is present either in person
or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the persons entitled to vote, not present at the meeting in person or by proxy, gives a waiver of notice. Attendance by a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of
such meeting, except when the person objects, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object
to the consideration of matters required by law to be in the notice of the meeting but not so included, if that objection is expressly made at the meeting. All such waivers, consents, or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a
part of the minutes of the meeting. The waiver of notice need not specify either the business to be transacted or the purpose of any annual or special meeting of stockholders. 
 Section 2.6 Quorum. 
 A majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled
to vote at the meeting, represented in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. No business may be transacted at a meeting in the absence of a quorum other than the adjournment of such meeting, except that if a
quorum is present at the commencement of a meeting, business may be transacted until the meeting is adjourned even though the withdrawal of stockholders results in less than a quorum. If a quorum is present at a meeting, the affirmative vote of a
majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting, represented at the meeting, shall be the act of the stockholders unless the vote of a larger number is required by law, the Corporation’s
Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. If a quorum is present at the commencement of a meeting but the withdrawal of stockholders results in less than a quorum, the affirmative vote of the voting power of the outstanding shares of stock
entitled to vote at the meeting, required to constitute a quorum, shall be the act of the stockholders unless the vote of a larger number is required by law, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. Any meeting of
stockholders, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned to a later date and time and the same or different place by the Chairman of the meeting or by the vote of voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the
meeting, represented at the meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of
record entitled to vote at the meeting. 
 Section 2.7 Notice of Adjourned Meetings. 
 Notice of an adjourned meeting need not be given if (a) the meeting is adjourned for thirty (30) days or less, (b) the time and place of
the adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, and (c) no new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting. Otherwise, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original
meeting. 
  

 5 

 Section 2.8 Voting. 
 Except as provided below or as otherwise provided by the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or by law, a stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on the record date fixed
for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting or, if no such date is fixed, the date determined in accordance with law. If any share is entitled to more or less than one vote on any matter, all references herein to a
majority or other proportion of shares shall refer to a majority or other proportion of the voting power of shares entitled to vote on such matter. The Board, in its discretion, or the officer presiding at a meeting of stockholders in his or her
discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting, including a vote for directors, be by written ballot. 
 Section 2.9 Proxies.

 Except as otherwise provided in the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or by law, a stockholder may be represented at any
meeting of stockholders by a written proxy signed by the person entitled to vote or by such person’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact. A proxy must bear a date within one (1) year prior to the meeting, unless the proxy specifies a
different length of time. A revocable proxy is revoked by a writing delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation stating that the proxy is revoked or by a subsequent proxy executed by, or attendance at the meeting and voting in person by, the
person executing the proxy. 
 Section 2.10 Inspectors of Election. 
 (a) In advance of a meeting of stockholders, the Board may appoint inspectors of election to act at the meeting. If inspectors of election are not so appointed, or if any persons so appointed fail to appear or refuse
to act, the Chairman of the meeting may, and on request of a stockholder shall, appoint inspectors of election (or persons to replace those who so fail or refuse) for the meeting. The number of inspectors shall be either one or three. If
appointments are to be made at a meeting on the request of a stockholder, the majority of stockholder votes represented in person or by proxy shall determine whether the number of inspectors shall be one or three. Each inspector, before discharging
his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. 
 (b) Such inspectors of election shall: (i) determine the number of shares outstanding, the number of shares represented at the meeting, the voting power of each share, the existence of a quorum, and the validity
of proxies; (ii) receive votes, ballots, or consents; (iii) hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote; (iv) count and tabulate votes or consents; (v) determine the result of an
election; (vi) determine and retain for a reasonable period of time the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors; (vii) certify their determination of the number of shares of capital stock of the
Corporation represented at the meeting and their count of all votes and ballots; (viii) do such other acts as may be proper in order to conduct the election with fairness to all stockholders; and (ix) perform such other duties as may be
prescribed by law. The Chairman of the meeting shall announce at the meeting the date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at the meeting. If there are three inspectors of
election, the decision of a majority shall be effective in all respects as the decision of all. 
  

 6 

 Section 2.11 List of Stockholders. 
 The Secretary of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of the stockholders, a complete list of the
stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. If the meeting is held at a place, then the list shall
also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communications, then the list shall be open
to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of meeting. 
 ARTICLE III 
 DIRECTORS

 Section 3.1 Powers and Duties. 
 (a) The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised, by or under the direction of the Board, subject to any limitations contained in these Bylaws, the Corporation’s Certificate
of Incorporation or the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “General Corporation Law”). The Board may delegate the management of the day-to-day operation of the business of the Corporation, provided that the business and
affairs of the Corporation shall remain under the ultimate direction of the Board. 
 Section 3.2 Number and Qualification of Directors.

 Subject to the limitations set forth in the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Board shall consist of such number of
directors as shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board. Until otherwise determined by such resolution, the number of directors of the Corporation shall be seven (7). 
 In the event of any increase or decrease in the authorized number of directors, (i) each director then serving as such shall nevertheless continue
as a director of the class of which he or she is a member until the expiration of his or her current term, or his or her prior death, retirement, resignation or removal, and (ii) the newly created or eliminated directorships resulting from such
increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the Board of Directors among the three classes of directors so as to maintain such classes as nearly equal as possible. 
  

 7 

 Section 3.3 Election and Term of Office. 
 Each director shall serve until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her death, resignation or removal. 
 Section 3.4 Resignation and Vacancies. 
 (a) A
director may resign by giving written notice to the Board, the Chairman of the Board, the Vice Chairman of the Board, the President or the Secretary. Such resignation shall take effect upon receipt of such notice or at a later time specified
therein; and, unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. If the resignation of a director is effective at a future time, the Board may elect a successor to take office when the
resignation becomes effective. 
 (b) Should a vacancy occur or be created, whether arising through death, resignation or removal of a
director, or through an increase in the number of directors of any class, such vacancy shall be filled by a majority vote of the remaining members of the Board. A director so elected to fill a vacancy shall serve for the remainder of the then
present term of office of the class to which he is elected. 
 Section 3.5 Place of Meeting. 
 The Board may by resolution designate a place within or outside the State of Delaware, including a location in Wilmington, Ohio or any other location,
where a regular or special meeting of the Board shall be held. In the absence of such designation, meetings of the Board shall be held at a location in Wilmington, Ohio designated by the Chairman of the Board. 
 Section 3.6 Meetings by Conference Telephone. 
 A
meeting of the Board may be held through the use of conference telephone or other communications equipment, so long as all members participating in such meeting can hear one another. Participation in such a meeting shall constitute presence at such
meeting. Directors are entitled to participate in any and all Board meetings through the use of conference telephone or other communications equipment. No director shall be excluded from any Board meeting or any portion of a Board meeting because
such director elects to participate though the use of conference telephone or other communications equipment and the Corporation shall make all necessary arrangements to allow directors to participate in Board meetings through the use of a
conference telephone or other communications equipment. No notice of meeting shall require any director to attend a Board meeting in person. 
 Section 3.7 Meetings. 
 Meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at the times fixed by resolutions of the Board
or upon call of the Chairman of the Board or of the President or any three directors. The Secretary or officer performing his or her duties shall give reasonable notice (which shall not in any event be less than two (2) days) of all meetings of
directors, provided that a meeting may be 

  

 8 

 
held without notice immediately after the annual meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors, and notice need not be given of regular meetings
held at times fixed by resolution of the Board. Meetings may be held at any time without notice if all of the directors are present or if those not present waive notice either before or after the meeting. Notice by mail, telecopy or telegraph to the
usual business or residence address of the directors not less than the time above specified before the meeting shall be sufficient. 
 Section 3.8
Waiver of Notice. 
 Transactions at any meeting of the Board, however called and noticed and wherever held, shall be valid as though
transacted at a meeting duly held, after regular call and notice, if (i) a quorum is present, (ii) no director present protests lack of notice prior to the commencement of the meeting, and (iii) each director not present at the
meeting gives a written waiver of notice, a consent to holding such meeting, or an approval of the minutes thereof. All such waivers shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. 
 Section 3.9 Quorum. 
 A majority of the
authorized number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Except as otherwise provided by the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, every act or decision done or made by a majority of the
directors present at a meeting duly held at which a quorum is present is the act of the Board. A majority of the directors present at a meeting, whether or not a quorum is present, may adjourn the meeting to another time and place. 
 Section 3.10 Adjournment and Notice Thereof. 
 Any meeting of the Board, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned by a majority vote of the directors present. If the meeting is adjourned for more than 24 hours, notice of any adjournment to another time or place shall be
given prior to the time of the adjourned meeting to the directors who were not present at the time of the adjournment. 
 Section 3.11 Action Without
Meeting.
