WHEREAS, Executive was employed by the Company pursuant to an employment agreement executed on the 7th day of September, 2011, and as amended on the 16th day of November, 2012 (the "Employment Agreement");

WHEREAS, Executive's employment with the Company has terminated pursuant to the Employment Agreement with his last date of employment being June 27, 2014 (“Termination Date”);

WHEREAS, although this is an amicable agreement between the Company and Executive, Executive is being “Involuntarily Separated” from his employment with his “Last Day of Employment” being June 27, 2014 which is not earlier than the date Executive has a "separation from service" from the Company, as all of those terms are defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(h).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and other good and valuable consideration set forth herein, the Parties agree as follows:

1.Severance Payments.

(a)In consideration of Executive's agreement to, and compliance with, the terms and conditions contained in this General Release, and subject to Executive's continuing obligations to the Company as set forth in paragraphs 6 through 16 of his Employment Agreement, the Company shall pay Executive 12 months of his regular base salary equal to $475,000 paid to Executive via equal, bi-weekly direct deposits consistent with the Company's current payroll schedule and practices (less all applicable tax withholdings and other deductions). The first Severance Payment shall be made on the first payroll date immediately following the date Executive signs this General Release and after the expiration of the seven (7) day revocation period referenced in paragraph 4(f), provided Executive does not exercise his right to revoke this General Release pursuant to paragraph 4(f).

(b)Provided Executive elects COBRA health continuation to continue Executive’s coverage, and the coverage of eligible dependents currently enrolled in the plan, the Company will pay to the Executive a monthly cash payment for 12 months, or for the Executive’s COBRA health continuation period, whichever ends earlier, in an amount equal to 100% of the premiums (at a cost equal to a total of $14,494.80) plus the 2% administrative fee. Executive has advised the Company of his desire to elect COBRA health continuation and the parties will cooperate reasonably to permit Executive to make such election.

(c)The payments described in paragraphs 1(a) and (b) above shall collectively be referred to as the "Severance Payments". Executive acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Severance Payments are contingent on Executive executing this General Release and not revoking the General Release as permitted under paragraph 4(f); (ii) should Executive obtain alternative employment as a senior level executive at any time during the 12 months Severance Payment period, he is obligated to notify the Company’s CEO or Vice-President of Human Resources of such employment, and the Company’s Severance Payment obligations

under this paragraph 1 shall immediately cease, and the Company will have satisfied its obligations under this paragraph.

(d)Executive also acknowledges and agrees that the Severance Payments, even if ceased before 12 months due to Executive obtaining alternative Employment, are in full and final discharge of any and all liabilities and obligations of the "Released Parties" (as defined in paragraph 3 of this General Release) to Executive with respect to termination benefits, severance pay, salary, wages, bonuses, and all other payments or compensation, employee benefits and otherwise, but not with regard to Executive’s entitlements related to Equity referenced in paragraph 2 of this General Release.

2.Equity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the treatment of Executive’s vested and unvested stock options and restricted stock awards granted by the Company pursuant to the “Body Central Corp. Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan,” as amended (the “Equity Plan”) and the stock option agreements and restricted stock agreements (the “Option Agreements”) (copies of which are available upon request), shall be governed by the terms and conditions set forth in the Equity Plan and the respective Option Agreements. In accordance with the terms of the Plan and the respective Awards Agreements, (i) any stock options and shares of restricted stock Executive holds shall cease vesting as of the Separation Date, (ii) Executive shall forfeit for no consideration any unvested shares of restricted stock as of the Separation Date and (iii) Executive may exercise those options that have become exercisable as of the Separation Date (the “Vested Options”) within ninety (90) days after the Separation Date.
