2.2 Restrictive Legend. (a) Each certificate representing Common Stock
owned by any Stockholder will include the following legend (in addition to
such legends as may be appropriate under the securities laws):
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AS SET FORTH IN THE AMENDED AND RESTATED
STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER ___, 1997, AS FROM TIME TO
TIME AMENDED, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE CHILDREN'S PLACE
RETAIL STORES, INC."
(b) Each certificate representing Common Stock owned by any Stockholder
or any Transferee thereof (other than shares that have been sold pursuant to
an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or in accordance
with Rule 144 under the Securities Act) will (unless otherwise permitted by
4
the provisions of Section 2.2(c)) include a legend substantially as follows:
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY STATE SECURITIES
LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF

Each holder of Common Stock represented by a certificate which bears the
legend described above, by its acceptance or purchase thereof, agrees that
prior to the effectiveness of any proposed Transfer of any such Common Stock
(except pursuant to an effective registration statement) such holder will
give written notice to the Company of such proposed Transfer, briefly
describing the proposed Transfer. Such notice will, unless waived by the
Company, be accompanied by a written opinion, addressed to the Company, of
counsel for such holder stating that in the opinion of such counsel (which
opinion will be reasonably satisfactory to the Company) such proposed
Transfer does not require registration of such Common Stock under the
Securities Act or the securities laws of any state.
(c) Any Stockholder may, upon providing evidence (which, if required by
the Company, may include an opinion of counsel) reasonably satisfactory to
the Company, that such Securities either are not "restricted securities" (as
defined in Rule 144) or may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k), exchange the
certificate representing such Securities for a new certificate that does not
bear a legend relating to restrictions under the securities laws.
2.3 Tag-Along Rights. (a) If, at any time prior to when the SK Holders
collectively own 30% or less of the Common Stock owned collectively by the SK
Holders as of the Effective Date, any Designated Management Stockholder (a
"Selling Management Stockholder") proposes to Transfer (other than pursuant
to a Public Offering or a Rule 144 Transfer or pursuant to Section 2.7 or to
a Management Stockholder Permitted Transferee) any of its Common Stock (other
than shares acquired upon exercise of stock options) representing more than
1% of the outstanding Common Stock either to (i) any Third Party pursuant to
a bona fide offer to purchase or (ii) the Company (in the case of clause (i)
and (ii), a "Tag-Along Offer"), the Selling Management Stockholder will
provide written notice of such Tag-Along Offer to the Company and each of the
SK Holders in the manner set forth in this Section 2.3; provided, however,
that nothing in this Section 2.3 will affect the restrictions on Transfers by
the Management Stockholders contained in Section 2.1. Such written notice
will identify the proposed purchaser, the number of shares of Common Stock
proposed to be purchased from the Selling Management Stockholder (or if
greater, the number of shares of Common Stock such Person is willing to
purchase (the "Desired Shares")), the Tag-Along Ratio (as defined in Section
2.3(d)) that would apply if all the SK Holders become Co-Selling Stockholders
(as defined below), the consideration offered and all other material terms
and conditions of the Tag-Along Offer. If the offer price consists in part
or in whole of consideration other than cash, the Selling Management
Stockholder will provide such information, to the extent reasonably available
5
to the Selling Management Stockholder, relating to such consideration as any
XX Xxxxxx may reasonably request in order to evaluate such non-cash
consideration.
(b) The SK Holders will have the right, exercisable as set forth below,
to accept the Tag-Along Offer for up to the number of shares of Common Stock
determined pursuant to Section 2.3(d). The SK Holders will, within ten
Business Days after receipt of the written notice from the Selling Management
Stockholder, provide the Selling Management Stockholder with an irrevocable
written notice specifying the number of shares of Common Stock the SK Holders
wish to Transfer, not to exceed the number of Desired Shares, and the
allocation of such shares among the SK Holders and will simultaneously
provide a copy of such notice to the Company. If the SK Holders do not
accept the Tag-Along Offer within ten Business Days following receipt of
written notice from the Selling Management Stockholder, the SK Holders will
be deemed to have waived any and all rights under this Section 2.3 with
respect to the Transfer of Common Stock pursuant to such Tag-Along Offer but
nothing herein will affect the SK Holders' rights in respect of any other
transaction or proposed transaction.
(c) Not less than seven Business Days prior to the proposed date of any
sale pursuant to a Tag-Along Offer, the Selling Management Stockholders will
notify the SK Holders which have accepted the Tag-Along Offer (each, a
"Co-Selling Stockholder") of such proposed date. Not less than two Business
Days prior to such proposed date of sale, the Co-Selling Stockholders will
deliver to an Escrow Agent (the costs of which Escrow Agent will be borne by
the Selling Management Stockholder and the Co-Selling Stockholders in
proportion to the shares of Common Stock Transferred by such Selling
Management Stockholder and Co-Selling Stockholders in connection with such
Tag-Along Offer) the Duly Endorsed certificate or certificates representing
the Common Stock to be Transferred by the Co-Selling Stockholders and all
other documents reasonably required to be executed in connection with such
Tag-Along Offer.
(d) Each Co-Selling Stockholder will have the right to Transfer (and the
Selling Management Stockholder will, to the extent necessary, reduce the
amount or number of shares of Common Stock to be Transferred by the Selling
Management Stockholder by a corresponding amount), pursuant to the Tag-Along
Offer, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of the Desired
Shares multiplied by a fraction (the "Tag-Along Ratio"), the numerator of
which will be the aggregate amount or number of shares of Common Stock owned
by such Co-Selling Stockholder and the denominator of which will be the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Selling Management
Stockholder and all Co-Selling Stockholders.
(e) The Selling Management Stockholder will have 90 Business Days from
the end of the ten Business Day period referred to in paragraph (b) above in
which to consummate the Transfer of Common Stock owned by such Selling
Management Stockholder and the Co-Selling Stockholders as contemplated by the
Tag-Along Offer at the price and on the terms contained in such notice. If,
at the end of such 90 Business Day period, the Selling Management Stockholder
has not completed such Transfer, the right of the Selling Management
Stockholder to effect such Transfer will terminate, and the Common Stock of
the Selling Management Stockholders subject to such proposed Transfer will
6
to the Selling Management to all the restrictions on sale or other
disposition and other provisions contained in this Agreement.
(f) Immediately after the consummation of the Transfer of Common Stock
pursuant to the Tag-Along Offer, the Escrow Agent will notify the Co-Selling
Stockholders thereof and will remit to each Co-Selling Stockholder the total
sales price attributable to the Common Stock of such Co-Selling Stockholder
sold pursuant thereto less a pro rata portion of the expenses incurred in
connection with such sale.
(g) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.3, there will
be no liability on the part of the Selling Management Stockholders to any
Stockholder (including any Co-Selling Stockholder) if the Transfer of Common
Stock by the Selling Management Stockholder and any Co-Selling Stockholder
pursuant to Section 2.3 is not consummated for whatever reason. The
Management Stockholders, in their sole discretion, will determine whether to
effect a sale of Common Stock to any Person pursuant to this Section 2.3.
(h) In connection with any Transfer of Common Stock as to which the SK
Holders have Tag-Along rights pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Transferee of
such Common Stock will not be required to execute a counterpart of this
Agreement or become subject to this Agreement.
(i) No failure to exercise any rights or take any other action in
respect of any Tag-Along Offer will affect any XX Xxxxxx'x rights in respect
of any subsequent Tag-Along Offer or other rights hereunder.
2.4. Restrictions on Transfers by SK Holders. (a) Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, without the prior written

Limited, Inc. (provided that at the time of such Transfer, The Limited, Inc.

Superstore, as the case may be, or (iv) any Person whose principal business

its gross revenues from the retail sales of children's apparel.
(b) Each of the SK Holders will provide the Company and the Management
Group Representative with ten Business Days' prior written notice of its
intent to pursue or to enter into discussions concerning a sale of any Common
Stock held by the SK Holders to a Third Party.
7
2.5. Improper Transfer. (a) Any attempt to Transfer any Common Stock
not in compliance with this Agreement will be null and void and neither the
Company nor any transfer agent of the Company will register, or otherwise
recognize in the Company's records, any such improper Transfer. Any cost or
loss incurred as a result of any such attempt to transfer shall be borne by
the Stockholder who attempted to Transfer.

registered or otherwise recognized in the Company's records or otherwise.

(iii) voluntarily mortgage, pledge or encumber all or substantially
all of the Company's assets or business, other than as collateral for
indebtedness under the Foothill Agreement or any refinancing thereof;
