 Pursuant to the AnnTaylor Stores Corporation 2002 Stock Option and Restricted Stock and Unit Award Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) or its designee has determined that the Option Holder be granted an option under the Plan, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter

purchase shares pursuant to the Option shall be exercisable in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, during the term set forth in Section 4 below in accordance with the following schedule:

                    , for up to     % of the Option Shares; 
 [insert specifications regarding vesting schedule]. 
 The foregoing notwithstanding, if an Acceleration Event shall occur prior to termination of the Option pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the Option Holder’s right to purchase 100% of the Option Shares shall become exercisable
immediately. 
 3. Method of Exercise. The Option, or any part thereof, shall be exercised by written notice from the Option
Holder to the Secretary of the Company specifying the number of Option Shares to be purchased (which must be a whole number of shares) and accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price for the shares being purchased. Such payment may be made
(i) in cash, (ii) in shares of Common Stock (that you have owned for at least six months) having a Fair Market Value equal to such Option Price, (iii) in a combination of cash and shares or (iv) through a “cashless
exercise” procedure involving a broker. A minimum of one hundred (100) shares must be purchased each time the Option is exercised, unless the Option is being exercised with respect to all Option Shares available at such time for purchase

in respect of such shares 

 
until the date of the issuance by the Company of a stock certificate representing such shares, or issuance of the shares in uncertificated form by book entry
on the records of the Company’s Common Stock registrar and transfer agent. 
 4. Term of the Option. 
 (a) The Option shall be exercisable, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2 and 3 hereof, through the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date, unless
terminated earlier as provided herein. 
 (b) Except as may be provided pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 4, if the Option
Holder’s employment is terminated by reason of the Option Holder’s Disability or Retirement, or if the Option Holder shall die while employed by the Company or a Subsidiary Corporation, the Option may, to the extent otherwise exercisable
pursuant to Section 2 above on the date of such termination or death, be exercised by the Option Holder or the Option Holder’s estate or the person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or otherwise by
reason of the death or Disability of the Option Holder, at any time within three years after the date of death or termination of employment by reason of Disability or Retirement, but in any event not beyond the date on which the Option would
otherwise expire pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 4. Except as set forth in paragraph (d) of this Section 4, the Option shall, to the extent not theretofore exercised or terminated, terminate upon the expiration of such
three-year (or shorter) period. 
 (c) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 4, and except as may be
provided in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 4, the Option may not be exercised unless the Option Holder is then in the employ or service of the Company or one of its divisions or Subsidiary Corporations, and unless the Option
Holder has remained continuously so employed or in service since the Grant Date. In the event the Option Holder’s employment or service is terminated or ceases for any reason other than the Option Holder’s death, Disability, Retirement or
a termination voluntarily by the Option Holder or a termination by the Company for Cause, all Options theretofore granted to such Option Holder that are exercisable at the time of such termination may, to the extent not theretofore exercised or
canceled, be exercised at any time within the earlier of when the Options expire pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 4 and three (3) months after such termination of employment or cessation of service, as applicable; provided,
however, that the Committee may in its discretion extend the period for exercise of such Options to a date later than three (3) months after such separation or cessation date, but in any event not beyond the date on which the Option would
otherwise expire pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the employment of the Option Holder shall terminate for Cause or the Option Holder voluntarily terminates his/her employment, all Options
theretofore granted to such Option Holder shall, to the extent not theretofore exercised, terminate on the day following termination. 
 (d)
The period for exercise of the Option may be extended by, and in the sole discretion of, the Board in accordance with the Plan, but in any event not longer than the term set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section 4. 
  

 2 

 5. Non-Transferability. The Option and the Option Holder’s rights hereunder shall not
be transferable other than by will or the law of descent and distribution, and during the lifetime of the Option Holder the Option may be exercised only by the Option Holder or by the Option Holder’s guardian or legal representative.

 6. No Guarantee of Employment. Nothing set forth herein or in the Plan shall confer upon the Option Holder any right of
continued employment for any period by the Company or any of its divisions or Parent or Subsidiary Corporations, or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any such division or Parent or Subsidiary Corporation to terminate such
employment. 
 7. Non-qualified Stock Option. No portion of the Option constitutes an Incentive Stock Option. The Option
granted hereunder constitutes a Non-qualified Stock Option. 
 8. Taxes upon Exercise of Options. The Option Holder agrees
that: 
 (a) no later than the date of any exercise of the Option, the Option Holder shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements
satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any federal, state or local taxes required by law to be withheld upon or in connection with such exercise; and 
 (b) the Company shall, to the extent permitted or required by law, have the right to deduct all federal, state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld upon any exercise of the Option or from any
payment of any kind otherwise due to the Option Holder with respect to the Option. 
 9. Failure to Enforce Not a Waiver. The
failure of the Company to enforce at any time any provision of this Option Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof. 
 10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard
to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. 
 11. Stock Option Plan. A copy of the Plan is attached hereto. The Plan is
hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement, and this Agreement and the Option shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, provided that such amendment of the Plan is made in
accordance with Section 10 of the Plan. 
 12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts,
each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall represent one and the same agreement.

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and
the agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
  

	 	Section	1. AMENDMENTS TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT 

  

	1.1	Amendment to Credit Agreement 

 The Credit Agreement
and the Annexes thereto are hereby amended by deleting the word “calendar” each time it appears therein (other than in the definitions of “Interest Payment Date”, “Interest Period” and

	1.3	Amendment to Article 7: Negative Covenants 

 Sections 7.14(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of the Credit Agreement are hereby amended by deleting them in their entirety and substituting the following therefor: 
 “(a) Adjusted Quick Ratio. The Company shall not as of the end of any fiscal quarter suffer or permit its ratio (determined in respect of the

consummated within 120 days before or after the date of such repayment, repurchase, redemption or other retirement of Subordinated Indebtedness; provided that (x) with respect to any fiscal quarter which ends during such 120-day period, if the
Company has delivered written notice that it intends to issue new equity or new Subordinated Indebtedness within such 120-day period, then the increase in the minimum Adjusted Quick Ratio shall not apply to such fiscal quarter, and (y) if
sufficient new equity or new Subordinated Indebtedness is not issued during such 120-day period then the increase in the minimum Adjusted Quick Ratio shall be retroactively applicable as of the end of each fiscal quarter during such 120-day period.

Issuance Proceeds of any new equity issued by the Company after December 31, 2004 (excluding (A) equity issued under employee stock option or purchase plans and (B) equity issued to finance an Acquisition, provided that such amount is
in fact applied to transaction costs relating to such Acquisition and such Acquisition is consummated no later than 120 days after the date of such issuance), minus (v) goodwill and other intangibles arising during such fiscal quarter

and ending on January 31, 2007, (B) the aggregate amount of goodwill and other intangibles excluded under clause (v) above in connection with any Acquisition shall be the product of (1) the Net Cash Consideration given in respect
of such Acquisition divided by the total fair market value of all cash and non-cash consideration given in respect of such Acquisition multiplied by (2) the aggregate amount of all goodwill and other intangibles acquired in such
Acquisition, and (C) the aggregate amount of all goodwill and other intangibles excluded under clause (v) above in any fiscal year shall in no case exceed the amount of Net Cash Consideration permitted to be given in respect of
