3. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS.

3.1. Limitations on Transfer.

3.1.1. No Manager may Transfer any or all of its Company Shares except (i) in accordance with Section 3.2 (Permitted Transferees), (ii) after complying with Sections 4.1 (Right of First Offer) and 4.2 (Tag-Along Rights) and, if such Transfer is prior to an Initial Public Offering, with TPG’s prior written consent, (iii) in a transaction pursuant to Section 4.3 (Drag-Along Rights), (iv) as a Tagging Stockholder in a transaction pursuant to Section 4.2 (Tag-Along Rights) or (v) in a transaction pursuant to Section 5 (Options to Purchase and Sell Shares).

3.1.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Manager or holders of Company Shares originally issued to a Manager be entitled to Transfer its Company Shares without the prior written consent of the Majority Principal Investors, (i) to any Person (other than an Affiliate) that is actively engaged in the retail, mail order or internet specialty apparel or accessories business and any other business the Company or its subsidiaries is then engaged, in each case, in any geographic area in which the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries are engaged in such business or businesses or (ii) to any Person of which the stockholder is aware (directly or indirectly) (a) holds an ownership interest in any such competitor equal to five percent (5%) or more, (b) has invested $5,000,000 or more in such competitor or (c) has designated, or has the right to designate, a member of the board of directors of any such competitor, except in each case, in or following the Initial Public Offering and the expiration of any applicable lock-up period, in any bona fide underwritten public offering or in any Rule 144 Sale. In addition, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no

Stockholder shall be entitled to Transfer its Company Shares at any time if such Transfer would:

(a) violate the Securities Act, or any state (or other jurisdiction) securities or “Blue Sky” laws applicable to the Company or the Company Shares;

(b) cause the Company to be required to register Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act;

(c) cause the Company to become subject to the registration requirements of the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended from time to time; or

(d) be a “prohibited transaction” under ERISA or the Code or cause all or any portion of the assets of the Company to constitute “plan assets” under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

3.1.3. In the event of a purported Transfer by a Stockholder of any Company Shares in violation of the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Transfer will be void and of no effect, and the Company will not give effect to such Transfer.

3.2. Permitted Transferees. Subject to the provisions of the second sentence of Section 3.1.2, any Manager or Permitted Transferee of a Manager may Transfer any or all of its Company Shares to a Permitted Transferee of the Manager to whom such Company Shares were originally issued; provided that if Company Shares are transferred to a Permitted Transferee that is not a natural person and such Permitted Transferee subsequently ceases to be an Affiliate of the Manager to whom such Company Shares were originally issued, then such Permitted Transferee shall, and such Manager shall cause such Permitted Transferee to, Transfer back to such Manager (or to another Permitted Transferee of such Manager) any Company Shares it owns.

3.3. Rights and Obligations of Transferees. Any Transfer of Company Shares held by a Manager, which Transfer is otherwise in compliance herewith, shall be permitted hereunder only if the transferee of such Company Shares agrees in writing that it shall, upon such Transfer, assume with respect to such Company Shares the rights and obligations under this Agreement relating to Company Shares held by Managers and that such Permitted Transferee shall be bound by, and shall be a party to, this Agreement as the holder of such Company Shares and as a “Manager” hereunder; provided, however, that (x) any Manager that Transfers Company Shares to a Permitted Transferee shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Permitted Transferee to perform all of such Manager’s obligations hereunder with respect to the Transferred Company Shares and (y) this Section 3.3 shall not apply to (i) Transfers of Company Shares to a Stockholder that is already a party to this Agreement, (ii) Transfers pursuant to a registered public offering or (iii) Transfers pursuant to Section 4.2 or Section 4.3; provided, further that no Transferee (other than any Permitted Transferee of the applicable Manager) shall acquire any of the rights of the applicable transferor provided in Section 4.2 or Section 6 hereof by reason of such Transfer.

3.4. Transfers Pursuant to Section 5. Any Company Shares Transferred to the Company pursuant to this Agreement (in accordance with Section 5 or otherwise) will

conclusively be deemed thereafter not to be Company Shares under this Agreement and not to be subject to any of the provisions hereof or entitled to the benefit of any of the provisions hereof; provided, that Company Shares Transferred to any Principal Investor pursuant to Section 5.3 shall thereafter become Investor Shares hereunder.

3.5. Transfers of Options. Any Transfer of Options by a Manager or Permitted Transferee that has become a party hereto will be governed by and subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable equity incentive plan and applicable award agreement.

3.6. Manager Lock-Up. In connection with each underwritten Public Offering each Manager agrees to become bound by and to execute and deliver such lock-up agreement with the underwriter(s) of such Public Offering restricting such Manager’s right to (a) Transfer, directly or indirectly, any Company Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for such Company Shares or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another any of the economic consequences of ownership of Company Shares, as is entered into by any participating Principal Investor with the underwriter(s) of such Public Offering; provided, however, that no Manager may be required by this Section 3.6 to be bound by a lock-up agreement covering a period beginning more than seven (7) days prior to or ending (x) one hundred eighty (180) with respect to Common Stock issued in respect of Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities held by such Manager, or (y) ninety (90) days (one hundred eighty (180) days in the case of an IPO) with respect to any other Company Shares held by such Manager, in each case following the effectiveness of the related registration statement plus such additional period of up to 17 days as may be required by the underwriters to satisfy FINRA regulations and permit the managing underwriters’ analysts to publish research updates, which period shall in no event be longer than any such period included in any lock-up agreement to which any other Manager is subject. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such lock-up agreement shall not apply to (i) transactions relating to shares of Company Shares or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Initial Public Offering (or other Public Offering, as applicable), (ii) Transfers to Permitted Transferees of such Manager in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (iii) conversions of shares of Company Shares into other classes of Company Shares without change of holder.

3.7. Period. The foregoing provisions of this Section 3 (other than Sections 3.1.2, 3.3 and 3.6) will terminate and be of further force and effect upon an Initial Public Offering.

4. “ROFO”, “TAG ALONG” AND “DRAG ALONG” RIGHTS.

4.1. Right of First Offer. (a) If any Manager desires to Transfer all or any portion of its Company Shares in a transaction to which this Section 4.1 applies (any such Manager, a “ROFO Stockholder”), then each Principal Investor and MD Investor (each, a “ROFO Offeree”) shall have a right of first offer over such Company Shares, which shall be exercised in the following manner:

4.1.1. The ROFO Stockholder shall provide the ROFO Offerees with written notice (a “ROFO Notice”) of its desire to Transfer such Company Shares. The ROFO Notice shall specify the number and class of Company Shares the ROFO Stockholder

wishes to Transfer, the proposed purchase price per share (which purchase price shall be in cash or cash equivalents only) for each such class of Company Shares and any other terms and conditions material to the sale proposed by the ROFO Stockholder.

4.1.2. The ROFO Offerees shall have a period of up to ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the ROFO Notice (the “ROFO Election Period”), to elect to purchase (or to cause one or more of their Affiliates to purchase), in the aggregate, all, but not less than all, of such Company Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in the ROFO Notice by delivering to the ROFO Stockholder written notice thereof (such electing ROFO Offeree, a “ROFO Purchaser”). In the event that the aggregate number of Company Shares of an applicable class that the ROFO Purchasers have elected to purchase exceeds the aggregate number of Company Shares of such class subject to the ROFO Notice, the number of Company Shares shall be sold to the ROFO Purchasers as follows:

(a) there shall be first allocated to each ROFO Purchaser a number of Company Shares of each applicable class equal to the lesser of (A) the number of Company Shares of such class elected to be purchased by such ROFO Purchaser and (B) a number of Company Shares of such class equal to such ROFO Purchaser’s Pro Rata Portion; and

(b) the balance, if any, of Company Shares of each applicable class not allocated pursuant to clause (1) above shall be allocated to those ROFO Purchasers which offered to purchase a number of Company Shares of the applicable class in excess of such ROFO Purchasers’ respective Pro Rata Portions in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective number of Company Shares of the applicable class which each ROFO Purchaser offered to purchase.

(c) If the ROFO Offerees elect to purchase (or to cause one or more of their Affiliates to purchase) all of the Company Shares which are the subject of the proposed Transfer within the ROFO Election Period, such purchase shall be consummated within thirty (30) days after the date on which each such ROFO Offeree notifies the ROFO Stockholder of such election (subject to extension if necessary to permit the expiration or early termination of the HSR Waiting Period). Subject to Section 4.2, if the ROFO Offerees do not elect to purchase all of the Company Shares within the ROFO Election Period, the ROFO Stockholder may Transfer all of the Company Shares of each class specified in the ROFO Notice at any time within one hundred and twenty (120) days following such period at a price which is not less than the purchase price specified in the ROFO Notice and on terms and conditions no more favorable, in any material respect, to the purchaser than those specified in the ROFO Notice, and thereafter the ROFO Stockholder may not Transfer any such Company Shares without first following the procedures set forth in this Section 4.1.

4.1.3. In connection with the Transfer of all or any portion of a ROFO Stockholder’s Company Shares pursuant to this Section 4.1 to one or more ROFO Offerees, the ROFO Stockholder shall only be required to represent and warrant as to its

authority to sell, the enforceability of agreements against the ROFO Stockholder, that the Company Shares to be transferred shall be free and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances (other than restrictions imposed by this Agreement and pursuant to applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws), that it is the record and beneficial owner of such Company Shares and that it has obtained or made all necessary consents, approvals, filings and notices from governmental authorities or third parties to consummate the Transfer.

4.1.4. The provisions of this Section 4.1 shall not apply to Transfers of Company Shares (i) to Permitted Transferees in accordance with Section 3.2 (Permitted Transferees); (ii) pursuant to, or consequent upon the exercise of the drag-along rights set forth in Section 4.3 (Drag-Along Rights); (iii) consequent upon the exercise of the tag-along rights set forth in Section 4.2 (Tag-Along Rights); (iv) pursuant to Section 5 (Options to Purchase and Sell Shares) or (v) pursuant to a registered public offering.

4.2. Tag-Along. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.1, if and to the extent applicable, a Stockholder proposes to Transfer (a “Transferring Stockholder”) any or all of its Company Shares, other than (i) pursuant to Section 3.2, (ii) to a Stockholder pursuant to a contractual right providing such Stockholder a right of first offer, (iii) Transfers pursuant to a registered public offering, (iv) pursuant to or consequent upon the exercise of the drag-along rights set forth in Section 4.3 or drag-along rights or tag-along rights set forth in any other shareholders agreement entered into by the Principal Investors and MD Investors, (v) Transfers by a Principal Investor of less than 20% of any class of Investor Shares then held by a Principal Investor or (vi) pursuant to Section 5 (a “Proposed Transfer”), each Manager that exercises its rights under this Section 4.2 (a “Tagging Stockholder”), shall have the right to Transfer its Pro Rata Portion of the same class of Company Shares to the proposed Transferee (a “Proposed Transferee”) on the same terms and conditions as those proposed by the Transferring Stockholder.

4.2.1. The Transferring Stockholder shall promptly give written notice (a “Tag-Along Notice”) to each Manager of a Proposed Transfer, setting forth the number and class of Company Shares proposed to be Transferred, the name of the Transferring Stockholder, the name and address of the Proposed Transferee, the proposed per share purchase price (or amount) and form of consideration for each such class of Company Shares and any other material terms and conditions of the Proposed Transfer. Each Manager shall have a period of fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of the Tag-Along Notice within which to elect to sell up to its Pro Rata Portion of each class of Company Shares in connection with such Proposed Transfer. Any Manager may exercise such right by delivery of an irrevocable written notice to the Transferring Stockholder specifying the number of Company Shares of each applicable class (which shall be not more than its Pro Rata Portion) it desires to include in the Proposed Transfer; provided that if the Proposed Transfer involves shares of multiple classes, each Tagging Stockholder must include Company Shares in the same proportions as are being sold by the Transferring Stockholder. If the Proposed Transferee fails to purchase all Company Shares proposed to be Transferred by the Transferring Stockholder, other Company stockholders who exercise tag-along rights and participate in such Proposed Transfer and the Tagging Stockholders, then the number of Company Shares the Transferring

Stockholder and each Tagging Stockholder is permitted to sell in such Transfer shall be allocated among the Tagging Stockholders and the other Company stockholders who have exercised their tag-along rights with respect to the Proposed Transfer in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective number of the applicable class of Company Shares which each Tagging Stockholder properly requested to be included in the Proposed Transfer. The Transferring Stockholder shall have a period of ninety (90) days following the expiration of the fifteen (15) Business Day period, to sell such Company Shares to the Proposed Transferee, on the payment terms specified in the Tag-Along Notice, and thereafter the Transferring Stockholder may not Transfer any such Company Shares without first following the procedures set forth in this Section 4.2.

4.2.2. Each Tagging Stockholder shall agree (i) to make the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements to the Proposed Transferee as made by the Transferring Stockholder in connection with the Proposed Transfer (other than any non-competition, non-solicitation or similar non-financial related agreements or covenants that would bind such Tagging Stockholder or its Affiliates without such Tagging Stockholder’s prior written consent), and (ii) to the same terms and conditions to the Transfer as the Transferring Stockholder agrees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, all such representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements shall be made by each Tagging Stockholder and the Transferring Stockholder severally and not jointly, and, except with respect to individual representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other agreements of the Tagging Stockholder as to the unencumbered title to its Company Shares and the power, authority and legal right to Transfer such Company Shares, any liability for breach of any such representations and warranties or under any indemnities shall be allocated among each Tagging Stockholder, other Company stockholders who have exercised their tag-along rights with respect to such Proposed Transfer and the Transferring Stockholder pro rata based on the relative sale price of the shares of Common Stock to be Transferred by each of them, and the aggregate amount of liability for each such Tagging Stockholder and the Transferring Stockholder shall not in any event exceed the U.S. dollar value of the net proceeds received by such Tagging Stockholder or the Transferring Stockholder, respectively, from the Transferee. Any Transfer of Company Shares by a Tagging Stockholder pursuant to the terms hereof shall be at a per share purchase price (or amount) specified in the Tag-Along Notice, and subject to Section 4.4.1, all Stockholders shall receive the same relative proportion of cash and Marketable Securities.

4.3. Drag-Along. If TPG agrees at any time to Transfer, in any single or series of related transactions, at least eighty percent (80%) of the aggregate Purchase Price Value of the Investor Shares then held by TPG and its Affiliates to a non-affiliated third party (a “Drag-Along Transfer” and such purchaser, the “Drag-Along Buyer”) for cash and/or Marketable Securities, TPG may exercise drag-along rights with respect to all Managers in accordance with the terms, conditions and procedures set forth herein.

4.3.1. TPG shall promptly give notice (a “Drag-Along Notice”) to each Manager (the “Drag-Along Stockholders”) of any election by TPG to exercise its drag-along rights under this Section 4.3, setting forth the name and address of the Transferee, the total number and class of Investor Shares proposed to be Transferred by TPG and its

Affiliates, the proposed amount per share and form of consideration for each such class of Investor Shares and all other material terms and conditions of the Drag-Along Transfer. Such notice shall also specify the number and class of Company Shares such Drag-Along Stockholders shall be required to Transfer, up to such Drag-Along Stockholders’ Pro Rata Portion for each applicable class of Company Shares; provided that the portion of Company Shares of a class with respect to each Drag-Along Stockholder is the same relative proportion for all Drag-Along Stockholders. Any Transfer of Company Shares by a Drag-Along Stockholder pursuant to the terms hereof shall be at the same per share purchase price for each class of Company Shares sold by TPG and its Affiliates and specified in the Drag-Along Notice and each Drag-Along Stockholder shall receive the same relative proportion of cash and Marketable Securities.

4.3.2. Each Drag-Along Stockholder agrees, severally and not jointly, to (i) make individual representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other agreements solely as to the title to, and the absence of any Adverse Claims with respect to, its Company Shares and the power, authority and legal right to Transfer such Company Shares, (ii) execute and deliver agreements, covenants and indemnities as made by TPG in connection with the Drag-Along Transfer (other than any non-competition, non-solicitation or other non-financial agreements or covenants that would bind such Drag-Along Stockholder or its Affiliates without the prior written consent of such Drag-Along Stockholder), (iii) agree to, except as provided in the preceding subclause (ii), the same terms and conditions to the Transfer as TPG agrees, (iv) not demand or exercise appraisal or dissenters rights under any applicable business corporation or other law with respect to a transaction subject to this Section 4.3 as to which such appraisal rights are available and (v) be liable as to all representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other agreements being made, agreed to or delivered by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or in respect of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective businesses, in connection with such transaction (other than the individual representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other agreements of the type set forth in subclause (i)), in each case to the same extent as TPG but pro rata based on the relative proceeds to be received by each of them from the sale of the shares of Common Stock Transferred by each of them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amount of liability for TPG and such Drag-Along Stockholders shall not in any event exceed the U.S. dollar value of the net proceeds received by TPG and such Drag-Along Stockholders, respectively.

4.3.3. In the event that any such Transfer is structured as a merger, consolidation, or similar business combination, each Drag-Along Stockholder agrees to (i) vote in favor of the transaction, (ii) take such other action as may be required to effect such transaction.

4.3.4. Solely for purposes of Section 4.3.3(i) and in order to secure the performance of each Manager’s obligations under Section 4.3.3(i), each Manager hereby irrevocably appoints TPG (or a designee thereof) the attorney-in-fact and proxy of such Manager (with full power of substitution) to vote or provide a written consent with respect to its Company Shares as described in this paragraph if, and only in the event that, such Manager fails to vote or provide a written consent with respect to its Company Shares in accordance with the terms of Section 4.3.3(i) (each such Manager, a “Breaching

Drag-Along Stockholder”) within three (3) days of a request for such vote or written consent. Upon such failure, the TPG (or a designee thereof) shall have and is hereby irrevocably granted a proxy to vote or provide a written consent with respect to each such Breaching Drag-Along Stockholder’s Company Shares for the purposes of taking the actions required by Section 4.3.3(i). Each Manager intends this proxy to be, and it shall be, irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and each Manager will take such further action and execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by it with respect to the matters set forth in Section 4.3.3(i) with respect to the Company Shares owned by such Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conditional proxy granted by this Section 4.3.4 shall be deemed to be revoked upon the termination of this Section 4.3 in accordance with its terms.

4.4. Miscellaneous. The following provisions will apply to any proposed Transfer to which Sections 4.1, 4.2. and 4.3, unless otherwise stipulated, apply:

4.4.1. Certain Legal Requirements. In the event the consideration to be paid in exchange for Company Shares in a proposed Transfer pursuant to Section 4.2 or Section 4.3 hereof includes any securities, and the receipt thereof by a Tagging Stockholder or Drag-Along Stockholder (each, a “Participating Seller”) would require under applicable law (a) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities or (b) the provision to any Tagging Stockholder or Drag-Along Stockholder of any information regarding the Company, such securities or the issuer thereof, such Participating Seller will not have the right to sell Company Shares in such proposed Transfer. In such event, the Transferring Stockholder (in a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof) or TPG (in a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause to be paid to such Participating Seller in lieu thereof, against surrender of the Company Shares (in accordance with Section 4.4.6 hereof) which would have otherwise been sold by such Participating Seller to the Proposed Transferee or Drag-Along Buyer, as applicable, in the proposed Transfer, an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such Company Shares as of the date such securities would have been issued in exchange for such Company Shares.

4.4.2. Further Assurances. Each Participating Seller and each Manager Transferring any Company Shares to a ROFO Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.1, whether in his, her or its capacity as a Participating Seller, stockholder, officer or director of the Company, or otherwise, shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or reasonably desirable in order expeditiously to consummate each Transfer pursuant to Section 4.1, Section 4.2 or Section 4.3 hereof and any related transactions, including, without limitation, executing, acknowledging and delivering consents, assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments; furnishing information and copies of documents; filing applications, reports, returns, filings and other documents or instruments with governmental authorities; and otherwise using commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the ROFO Purchaser (in a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof), Transferring Stockholder (in a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof) or TPG

(in a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof), as applicable, and the Proposed Transferee or Drag-Along Buyer, as applicable.

4.4.3. Sale Process. The Transferring Stockholder (in a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof) or TPG (in a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof), as applicable, may, in their sole discretion, decide whether or not to pursue, consummate, postpone or abandon any proposed Transfer and the terms and conditions thereof. No Principal Investor or any Affiliate of any Principal Investor will have any liability to any Manager arising from, relating to or in connection with the pursuit, consummation, postponement, abandonment or terms and conditions of any proposed Transfer except to the extent such Principal Investor has failed to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.

4.4.4. Treatment of Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities. Each Participating Seller agrees that to the extent he, she or it desires to include vested and exercisable Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities in any Transfer of Company Shares pursuant to this Section 4, he, she or it will be deemed to have exercised, converted or exchanged such vested and exercisable Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities immediately prior to the closing of such Transfer to the extent necessary to Transfer shares of Common Stock to the Proposed Transferee, except to the extent permitted under the terms of any such Option, Warrant or Convertible Security and agreed to by the Board of Directors and the Proposed Transferee. In the event that Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities are deemed exercised pursuant to the preceding sentence, payment of any purchase or exercise price, if applicable, and minimum statutory withholding tax amount, if any, shall be satisfied through payment of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon such exercise, conversion, or exchange. If any Participating Seller Transfers Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities in any Transfer pursuant to this Section 4, such Participating Seller shall receive in exchange for such Options, Warrants or Convertible Securities consideration equal to the amount (if greater than zero) determined by multiplying (a) the purchase price per share of the appropriate class of Common Stock received by the Transferring Stockholder in such Transfer less the unpaid exercise or conversion price, if any, per share of such Option, Warrant or Convertible Security by (b) the number of shares of the appropriate class of Common Stock issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of such Option, Warrant or Convertible Security (to the extent exercisable, convertible or exchangeable at the time of such Transfer), subject to reduction for any tax or other amounts required to be withheld under applicable law.

4.4.5. Expenses. All reasonable costs and expenses, including all attorneys fees and charges, all accounting fees and charges and all finders, brokerage or investment banking fees, charges or commissions, incurred in connection with any proposed Transfer, (a) pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof (whether or not consummated), shall be allocated among the Transferring Stockholder, each Participating Seller and any other Stockholder who participates in such Transfer pro rata based on the relative proceeds to be received by each of them from the sale of the shares of Common Stock to be Transferred by each of them, and (b) pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof (whether or not) consummated, shall be borne by the Company.

4.4.6. Closing. The closing of a Transfer to which Section 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 hereof applies will take place at such time and place as the ROFO Stockholder specifies (in a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof), Transferring Stockholder that is a Principal Investor specifies (in a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof) or TPG specifies (in a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof) by notice to each ROFO Offeree or Participating Seller, as applicable, each subject to any restrictions as to timing set forth in Section 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3. At the closing of such Transfer, each ROFO Purchaser or Participating Seller, as applicable, shall deliver the certificates evidencing the Company Shares to be sold by such ROFO Purchaser or Participating Seller, as applicable, duly endorsed, or with stock (or equivalent) powers duly endorsed, for transfer with signature guaranteed, free and clear of any Adverse Claim, with any stock (or equivalent) transfer tax stamps affixed, against delivery of the applicable consideration.

4.5. Period. The provisions of this Section 4 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon an Initial Public Offering.

5. OPTIONS TO PURCHASE AND SELL SHARES.

Except as the Company may otherwise agree in writing with any Manager with respect to Company Shares held by such Manager (or any Person to whom any shares of Common Stock were originally issued at the request of such Manager) or originally issued to such Manager (or other Person at the request of such Manager) but held by one or more direct or indirect Permitted Transferees (collectively, the “Management Call Group”), upon any termination of the employment by the Company and its subsidiaries of any Manager (whether such termination is by the Company, by such Manager or otherwise), the Company will have the right to purchase for cash all or any portion of Purchased Management Shares held by the Management Call Group on the following terms (the “Management Call Option”):

5.1.1. General. For all Purchased Management Shares, the following terms will apply:

(a) Termination other than for Cause. If, prior to an Initial Public Offering, a Manager’s employment is terminated for any reason other than for Cause (including as a result of death, Disability or Retirement), the Company (or its designated assignee) will have the right, on one or more occasions, at any time up to and including the date that is ninety (90) days following the later to occur of (x) the termination of such Manager’s employment and (y) the date that is six (6) months plus one (1) day following the most recent acquisition of Purchased Management Shares from the Company by any member of such Manager’s Management Call Group, to purchase from such Management Call Group, and upon the exercise of such call right each member of such Management Call Group shall sell to the Company (or its designated assignee), all (or a portion, as designated by the Company, or its designated assignee) of the Purchased Management Shares (including Rollover Equity) held by such member of the Management Call Group as of the date as of which such call right is exercised at a price equal to the Fair Market Value of the Purchased Management Shares being sold, determined as of the date such

Management Call Notice (as defined below) is delivered, which date shall be no earlier than the date that is six (6) months plus one (1) day following the most recent acquisition from the Company by any member of such Manager’s Management Call Group of any such Purchased Management Shares that are to be purchased by the Company pursuant to such exercised call right and shall be no later than the last date on which the Company is permitted to issue a Management Call Notice in respect of such Purchased Management Shares under this Section 5.1.1(a).

(b) Termination for Cause. If a Manager’s employment is terminated for Cause (or it is determined that such Manager’s employment could have been terminated for Cause at the time such Manager resigned or his or her employment was otherwise terminated), the Company (or its designated assignee) will have the right, on one or more occasions, at any time up to and including the date that is one hundred and eighty (180) days following the later to occur of (x) the termination of such Manager’s employment and (y) the date that is six (6) months plus one (1) day following the most recent acquisition of Purchased Management Shares from the Company by any member of such Manager’s Management Call Group, to purchase from such Manager’s Management Call Group, and upon the exercise of such call right each member of such Management Call Group shall sell to the Company (or its designated assignee), all (or a portion, as designated by the Company or its designated assignee) of the Purchased Management Shares (including Rollover Equity) held by such member of the Management Call Group as of the date as of which such call right is exercised at a price (the “Bad Leaver Price”) equal to the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value of the Purchased Management Shares being sold, determined as of the date such Management Call Notice is delivered, which date shall be no earlier than the date that is six (6) months plus one (1) day following the most recent acquisition from the Company by any member of such Manager’s Management Call Group of any such Purchased Management Shares that are to be purchased by the Company pursuant to such exercised call right and shall be no later than the last date on which the Company is permitted to issue a Management Call Notice in respect of such Purchased Management Shares under this Section 5.1.1(b), and (ii) the price paid, if any, by such Manager for such Purchased Management Shares (the “Original Purchase Price”); provided, that for purposes of the foregoing clause (ii), the price paid by a Manager for a share acquired upon exercise of an Option, Warrant or Convertible Security will be deemed to be equal to the exercise price of such Option, Warrant or Convertible.

(c) Violation of Non-Competition Obligations. If a Manager’s employment is terminated for any reason or if a Manager resigns his or her employment for any reason and, within twelve (12) months of such termination or resignation, such Manager Competes, the Company (or its designated assignee) will have the right, on one or more occasions, at any time up to and including the date that is ninety (90) days following the later to occur of (x) the first date on which the Company receives notice that such Manager Competed and (y) the date that is six (6) months plus one (1) day following the most recent acquisition of Purchased Management Shares from the Company by any member of such Manager’s Management Call Group, to purchase from such Management Call Group, and upon the exercise of such call right

The Management Call Notice shall state that the Company has elected to exercise the Management Call Option, the number of Purchased Management Shares with respect to which the Management Call Option is being exercised and the price of such shares.

5.1.3. Vesting. The rights of the Company and the Majority Principal Investors to purchase Company Shares under this Section 5 are in addition to, and do not modify, any vesting or exercisability requirements that may be included in the terms of any such Company Shares.

5.2. Closing.

5.2.1. The closing of any purchase and sale of Company Shares pursuant to this Section 5 shall occur on such date as the Company shall specify, which date shall not be later than ninety (90) days after the fiscal quarter-end immediately following the date of delivery of the Management Call Notice (provided, that such time may be extended as necessary to comply with requirements of the HSR Waiting Period or applicable foreign antitrust laws or other applicable legal requirements) at the principal office of the Company, or at such other time and location as the parties to such purchase may mutually determine.

5.2.2. At the closing of any purchase and sale of Company Shares following the exercise of any Management Call Option, the holders of Company Shares to be sold shall deliver to the Company a certificate or certificates representing the Company Shares to be purchased by the Company, duly endorsed, or with stock (or equivalent) powers duly endorsed, for transfer with signature guaranteed, free and clear of any lien or encumbrance, with any necessary stock (or equivalent) transfer tax stamps affixed, and the Company shall pay to such holder by certified or bank check or wire transfer of immediately available federal funds the purchase price of the Company Shares being purchased by the Company. The delivery of a certificate or certificates for Company Shares by any Person selling Company Shares pursuant to any Management Call Option will be deemed a representation and warranty by such Person that: (i) such Person has full right, title and interest in and to such Company Shares; (ii) such Person has all necessary power and authority and has taken all necessary action to sell such Company Shares as contemplated; (iii) such Company Shares are free and clear of any and all liens or encumbrances; and (iv) there is no Adverse Claim with respect to such Company Shares.

5.2.3. If (i) any payment of cash is required upon the purchase of Company Shares by the Company upon the exercise of any Management Call Option or (ii) any payment on a promissory note issued under this Section 5.2.3 comes due, and, in either case, such payment (or any dividend to fund such payment) would (or with notice or the lapse of time or both would) constitute, result in or give rise to a breach or violation of the terms or provisions of, or result in a default, event of default or right or cause of action under, any guarantee, financing or security agreement, indenture or document entered into by the Company or any of its subsidiaries and in effect on such date in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money or debt security, would be prohibited under Section 160 (“Section 160”) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), or would otherwise violate the DGCL (or if the Company or any such subsidiary reincorporates in another jurisdiction, the applicable business corporation law of such jurisdiction), then, to the extent permitted by Section 160:

(a) in the case of a cash payment due at a closing of any purchase of Company Shares by the Company upon the exercise of any Management Call Option, the Company will issue a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of such payment, the principal amount of which note will be due and payable (in four equal annual installments, the first such installment becoming due and payable on the first anniversary of the issuance of such note (in each case subject to subsection 5.2.3(c) below) and interest will accrue thereon at a rate equal to the prime rate (as reported in the Wall Street Journal Eastern Edition) plus three percent (3%));

(b) in the case of a cash payment in respect of a promissory note issued under this Section 5.2.3, notwithstanding any of the provisions of such note, including without limitation, the stated maturity of such note and the stated date on which interest payments are due, such payment will not become due and payable until such time as such payment can be made without violating any such agreement; and

(c) notwithstanding the terms of any promissory note issued pursuant to this Section 5.2.3, the Company must pay off the promissory note at the earliest of (i) a Change of Control, (ii) the Initial Public Offering (but only to the extent of the net proceeds received by the Company in such Initial Public Offering), (iii) five (5) Business Days after the date on which a cash payment paying off such promissory note could be made (1) without (immediately or with notice or the lapse of time or both) constituting, resulting in or giving rise to any breach or violation of the terms or provisions of, or result in a default, event of default or right or cause of action under, any guarantee, financing or security agreement, indenture or document entered into by the Company or any of its subsidiaries and in effect on such date in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money or debt security, (2) that would not be prohibited under Section 160, and (3) that would not otherwise violate the DGCL (or if the Company or any such subsidiary reincorporates in another jurisdiction, the applicable business corporation law of such jurisdiction) and (iv) the date on which any cash dividend or distribution is made in respect of Company Shares. At any such time, the Company shall promptly notify the holder of such promissory note and make a payment on each such promissory note. If more than one such promissory note is

outstanding at the time of payment, payment shall be made to the holders of all such promissory notes on a pro rata basis.

5.2.4. In the event that the Company has exercised its call right pursuant to Section 5.1 with respect to Company Shares held by (i) a Manager who (A) Competes within twelve (12) months of such Manager’s termination of employment or resignation as described in Section 5.1.1(c) or (B) is determined to have been eligible for termination for Cause, in each case following the Company’s exercise of such call right, and/or (ii) one or more members of such Manager’s Management Call Group that held Company Shares, such Manager and/or such members of such Manager’s Management Call Group will be obligated to deliver to the Company, within five (5) days following notice from the Company that such amount is due, an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of Company Shares purchased in connection with the exercise of the call right, multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of the price paid for such Company Shares over the Bad Leaver Price for such Company Shares.

5.3. Majority Principal Investors Call Option. If the Company elects not to purchase (pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof) any or all Purchased Management Shares held by a Manager or one or more members of such Manager’s Management Call Group, the Company shall notify the Majority Principal Investors and the Majority Principal Investors may purchase any or all of the remaining Purchased Management Shares held by such Persons for the purchase price identified in Section 5.1.1 hereof; provided, that nothing in this Section 5.3 will operate to extend the time within which the Management Call Notice may be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof. The right to purchase such Company Shares shall be allocated pro rata among the Majority Principal Investors based upon the Purchase Price Value of the shares of Common Stock then held by such Majority Principal Investors (unless the Majority Principal Investors agree otherwise); provided, further that Purchased Management Shares Transferred to any Majority Principal Investor shall thereafter become Investor Shares hereunder.

5.4. Acknowledgment. Each Manager and member of any Manager’s Management Call Group acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company, nor any Person directly or indirectly affiliated with the Company (in each case whether as a director, officer, manager, partner employee, agent or otherwise), will have any duty or obligation to affirmatively disclose to him, her or it, and he, she or it will not have any right to be advised of, any material information regarding the Company or otherwise at any time prior to, upon, or in connection with any termination of his, her or its employment by the Company and its subsidiaries upon the exercise of any Management Call Option or any purchase of the Company Shares in accordance with the terms hereof.

5.5. Call Period. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5 will expire with respect to any Company Share not called, if not earlier expired in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5, upon the earlier to occur of (a) an Initial Public Offering or (b) a Change of Control.

6. PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS.

6.1. Preemptive Rights. At any time following the Closing Date until an Initial Public Offering, if the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or any of their respective subsidiaries proposes to issue additional Company Shares or equity securities of the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or any of their respective subsidiaries, including any warrants, options or other rights to acquire Company Shares, equity securities of the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or any of their respective subsidiaries or debt securities that are convertible into Company Shares or equity securities of the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or any of their respective subsidiaries to any Person (with the exception of any issuance (i) as consideration in any merger, acquisition or similar transaction, (ii) in an Initial Public Offering, (iii) as consideration in a joint venture or any other strategic transaction, (iv) to a financial institution in connection with any borrowing, (v) to employees, advisors or consultants pursuant to an employee incentive plan approved by the Board of Directors or to employees pursuant to a subscription agreement for the purchase of shares in connection with the Closing, (vi) by a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or any of their respective subsidiaries to the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or any of their respective subsidiaries, (vii) as a result of the conversion of convertible securities or the exercise of any warrants, options or other rights (in each case, having been issued in accordance with this Section 6.1 and otherwise approved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) and (viii) in connection with any stock split, stock combination, stock dividend, distribution or recapitalization) (a “New Issuance” and any such Company Shares or equity securities of the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or any of their respective subsidiaries, “Newly Issued Securities”), the Company shall provide written notice to each Rollover Manager of such anticipated issuance no later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the anticipated issuance date (the “Preemptive Rights Notice”). The Preemptive Rights Notice shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the New Issuance, including the proposed purchase price for the Newly Issued Securities, the anticipated issuance date, and the purpose of such New Issuance. Each Rollover Manager shall have the right to purchase up to its Pro Rata Portion of such Newly Issued Securities at the price and on the terms and conditions specified in the Preemptive Rights Notice by delivering an irrevocable written notice to the Company no later than five (5) Business Days before the anticipated issuance date, setting forth the number of such Newly Issued Securities for which such right is exercised. Such notice shall also include the maximum number of Newly Issued Securities such Rollover Manager would be willing to purchase in the event any other Stockholder with preemptive rights and entitled to participate elects to purchase less than its Pro Rata Portion of such Newly Issued Securities. If any such stockholder elects not to purchase its full Pro Rata Portion of such Newly Issued Securities, the Company shall allocate any remaining amount among those Rollover Managers (pro rata in accordance with the Over-Allocation Pro Rata Portion of each such Stockholder up to, in the case of each such stockholder, the maximum number specified by such Stockholder pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence) who have indicated in their notice to the Company a desire to purchase Newly Issued Securities in excess of their respective Pro Rata Portions.

6.1.1. In the event the stockholders with preemptive rights and entitled to participate do not purchase all such Newly Issued Securities (including the Rollover

Managers in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.1), the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or the other relevant subsidiary, as applicable, shall have sixty (60) days after the expiration of the anticipated issuance date (subject to extension if necessary to permit the expiration or early termination of the HSR Waiting Period) to sell to other Persons (including any Stockholder) the remaining Newly Issued Securities at the price and on the terms and conditions specified in the Preemptive Rights Notice. If the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or the other relevant subsidiary, as applicable, fails to sell such Newly Issued Securities within such period, the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or the other relevant subsidiary, as applicable, shall not thereafter issue or sell such Newly Issued Securities without first offering the same to the Stockholders in the manner provided in Section 6.1.

6.1.2. In the event that any Rollover Manager purchases any equity securities from the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or any subsidiary thereof, other than new Company Shares pursuant to Section 6.1, such Stockholder shall execute a shareholders’ agreement with respect to such securities with terms that are substantially equivalent, mutatis mutandis, to this Agreement; provided that such shareholders’ agreement shall terminate upon the same terms and conditions as provided herein.

6.1.3. Any Newly Issued Securities constituting shares of capital stock of the Company acquired by any holder of Company Shares pursuant to this Section 6 shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be Company Shares, hereunder of like kind with the Company Shares then held by the acquiring holder.

6.1.4. The election by a Rollover Manager not to exercise its preemptive rights under Section 6.1 in any one instance shall not affect its right (other than in respect of a reduction in its Ownership Interest, if applicable) to exercise its preemptive rights with respect to any future issuances under Section 6.1. Any attempted Transfer of such securities by the Company, Intermediate Holdings, J. Crew or any other subsidiary without first giving the Stockholders the rights described in Section 6.1 shall be void and of no force and effect.

6.1.5. Notwithstanding the notice requirements of Section 6.1 above, the Company may proceed with any New Issuance prior to having complied with the provisions of Section 6.1; provided that the Company shall:

(a) provide to each such holder of Company Shares who would have been a recipient of a Preemptive Rights Notice (i) notice within five (5) Business Days thereafter of such New Issuance and (ii) the Preemptive Rights Notice described in Section 6.1 in which the actual purchase price of Newly Issued Securities shall be set forth;

(b) offer to issue to each such holder of Company Shares such number of Newly Issued Securities as may be requested by such holder (not to exceed an amount equal to (i) the Pro Rata Portion that such holder would have been entitled to pursuant to Section 6.1 multiplied by the number of Newly Issued Securities included in the New Issuance plus (ii) a number of additional securities sufficient to permit such

holder to acquire, in total, the same percentage of the aggregate number of all securities included in the relevant New Issuances effected pursuant to this Section 6.1 as such holder would have been entitled to acquire had the Company proceeded with the relevant New Issuances under Section 6.1 rather than pursuant to this Section 6.1.5 on the same economic terms and conditions with respect to such securities as the subscribers in the New Issuance received); and

(c) keep such offer open for a period of at least five (5) Business Days, during which period, each such holder may accept such offer by sending a written acceptance to the Company committing to purchase an amount of such securities (not in any event to exceed the Pro Rata Portion that such holder would have been entitled to pursuant to Section 6.1 multiplied by the number of all such Newly Issued Securities included in all such relevant New Issuances).

6.2. Termination of Preemptive Rights. The provisions of this Section 6 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon an Initial Public Offering.

7. REMEDIES.

7.1. Generally. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that it will be impossible to measure in money the damages that would be suffered if the parties fail to comply with any of the obligations herein imposed on them by this Agreement and that, in the event of any such failure, an aggrieved party will be irreparably damaged and will not have an adequate remedy at law. Any such party shall, therefore, be entitled (in addition to any other remedy to which such party may be entitled at law or in equity) to injunctive relief, including specific performance, to enforce such obligations, without the posting of any bond, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

7.2. Deposit. Without limiting the generality of Section 7.1 hereof, if any holder of Company Shares fails to deliver to the purchaser thereof the certificate or certificates evidencing Company Shares to be Transferred pursuant to Section 4 or 5 hereof, such purchaser may, at its option, in addition to all other remedies it may have, deposit the purchase price (including any promissory note constituting all or any portion thereof) for such Company Shares with any national bank or trust company having combined capital, surplus and undivided profits in excess of Five Hundred Million Dollars ($500,000,000) (the “Escrow Agent”) and the Company will cancel on its books the certificate or certificates representing such Company Shares and thereupon all of such holder’s rights in and to such Company Shares shall terminate. Thereafter, upon delivery to the Escrow Agent by such holder of the certificate or certificates evidencing such Company Shares (duly endorsed, or with stock powers duly endorsed, for transfer, with signature guaranteed, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, and with any transfer tax stamps affixed), TPG shall instruct the Escrow Agent to deliver the purchase price (without any interest from the date of the closing to the date of such delivery, any such interest to accrue to such purchaser) to such holder and the certificate or certificates to such purchaser.

8. LEGENDS.

8.1. Restrictive Legend. Each certificate evidencing the Company Shares issued to a Manager shall bear the following restrictive legend, either as an endorsement or on the face thereof:

THE SALE, ASSIGNMENT, TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS RESTRICTED BY THE TERMS OF A MANAGEMENT STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF MARCH 7, 2011 TO WHICH THE ISSUER AND CERTAIN OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS ARE PARTY, COPIES OF WHICH ARE ON FILE WITH THE ISSUER OF THIS CERTIFICATE. NO SALE, ASSIGNMENT, TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION SHALL BE EFFECTIVE UNLESS AND UNTIL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SUCH MANAGEMENT STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN COMPLIED WITH IN FULL.

8.2. 1933 Act Legends. Each certificate representing Company Shares will have the following legend endorsed conspicuously thereupon:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED OTHER THAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW), OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

8.3. Stop Transfer Instruction. The Company will instruct any transfer agent not to register the Transfer of any Company Shares until the conditions specified in the foregoing legends are satisfied.

8.4. Termination of 1933 Act Legend. In the event that the restrictive legend set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 has ceased to be applicable, the Company shall provide any Stockholder, or their respective transferees, at their request, without any expense to such Persons (other than applicable transfer taxes and similar governmental charges, if any), with new certificates for such securities of like tenor not bearing the legend with respect to which the restriction has ceased and terminated (it being understood that the restriction referred to in the legend in Section 7.2 shall cease and terminate upon the termination of this Section 7).

9. AMENDMENT, TERMINATION, ETC.

9.1. Oral Modifications, Waiver. This Agreement may not be orally amended, modified, extended or terminated, and no oral waiver of any of its terms may be effective. No waiver of any breach of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be effective unless such waiver is expressly made in writing and executed and delivered by the party against whom such waiver is claimed. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder, or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

9.2. Written Modifications. This Agreement may be amended, modified, extended or terminated, and the provisions hereof may be waived, only by an agreement in writing signed by the Company, TPG, the Majority Principal Investors and the Majority Managers; provided, however, that (i) any amendment, modification, extension, termination or waiver (an “Amendment”) will also require the consent of Managers holding a majority in interest of the Company Shares held by all Managers who would be disproportionately and adversely affected by the Amendment (other than solely with respect to the number of Company Shares held by such Manager) relative to the other Managers and (ii) any Amendment will also require the consent of LGP or the MD Investors, as applicable, to the extent LGP or the MD Investors, as applicable, would be disproportionately and adversely affected by the Amendment relative to TPG. Each Amendment will be binding upon each party hereto and each holder of Company Shares subject hereto. In addition, each party hereto and each holder of Company Shares subject hereto may waive any right hereunder by an instrument in writing signed by that party or holder.
