Control ever occurs), then all remaining Forfeiture Restrictions shall immediately lapse on the
date of the Executive’s Separation From Service and the Company shall issue to the Executive one
share of the Common Stock in exchange for such Deferred Stock Unit (x) on the date of the
Executive’s Separation From Service if the Executive is not a Specified Employee or (y) on the date

any reason other than the death or permanent disability of the Executive, the Forfeiture
Restrictions then applicable to the Deferred Stock Units shall not lapse and the number of Deferred
Stock Units then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions shall be forfeited to the Company on the
date the Executive’s employment terminates. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
to the contrary, if the Executive dies or incurs a permanent disability before the lapse date and
while in the active employ of the Company and/or one or more of its subsidiaries, all remaining
Forfeiture Restrictions shall immediately lapse on the date of the termination of the Executive’s
employment due to death or permanent disability. For purposes of this Section 6, the Executive

consolidation, issue any debt or equity securities, dissolve or liquidate, or sell, lease, exchange
or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its assets or business, or engage in any other corporate
act or proceeding.
8. Tax Withholding. To the extent that the receipt of the Deferred Stock Units, any payment
in cash or shares of Common Stock or the lapse of any Forfeiture Restrictions results in income to
the Executive for federal, state or local income, employment or other tax purposes with respect to
which the Company or any Affiliate has a withholding obligation, the Executive shall deliver to the
Company at the time of such receipt, payment or lapse, as the case may be, such amount of money as
the Company or any Affiliate may require to meet its obligation under applicable tax laws or
regulations, and, if the Executive fails to do so, the Company is authorized to withhold from the
shares of Common Stock issued in exchange for the Deferred Stock Units, any payment in cash or
shares of Common Stock under this Agreement or from any cash or stock remuneration then or
thereafter payable to the Executive in any capacity any tax required to be withheld by reason of

employ the Executive for any period of time.
12. Legend. The Executive consents to the placing on the certificate for any shares of Common
Stock issued under this Agreement in certificated form an appropriate legend restricting resale or
other transfer of such shares except in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933 and all
applicable rules thereunder.

shall be in writing, and shall be delivered either by personal delivery, by telegram, telex,
telecopy or similar facsimile means, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or

executed and delivered by the party waiving compliance hereof shall make any waiver of the terms or
conditions. Any waiver granted by the Company shall be effective only if executed and delivered by

or the breach of any other term or condition.

attempted delivery where delivery is refused), if hand-delivered, sent by express courier or
delivery service, or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
13. Amendment and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Plan or as necessary
to implement the provisions of the Plan, this Agreement may be amended, modified or superseded only
by written instrument executed by the Company and the Executive. Only a written instrument
executed and delivered by the party waiving compliance hereof shall make any waiver of the terms or
conditions. Any waiver granted by the Company shall be effective only if executed and delivered by
a duly authorized executive officer of the Company other than
-4-
the Executive. The failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any
provisions hereof shall in no manner effect the right to enforce the same. No waiver by any party
of any term or condition, or the breach of any term or condition contained in this Agreement, in
one or more instances, shall be construed as a continuing waiver of any such condition or breach, a
waiver of any other condition, or the breach of any other term or condition.
14. Arbitration. In the event of any difference of opinion concerning the meaning or effect
of the Plan or this Agreement, such difference shall be resolved by the Committee. Any controversy
arising out of or relating to the Plan or this Agreement shall be resolved by arbitration conducted
in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The arbitration shall be final and binding on the
parties.
15. Governing Law and Severability. The validity, construction and performance of this
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, excluding any conflicts or choice of
law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement
to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. The invalidity of any provision of this Agreement
shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and
effect.
16. Successors and Assigns. Subject to the limitations which this Agreement imposes upon the
transferability of the Shares granted hereby, this Agreement shall bind, be enforceable by and
inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns, and to the Executive, the
Executive’s permitted assigns, executors, administrators, agents, legal and personal
representatives.
17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which
shall be an original for all purposes but all of which taken together shall constitute but one and
the same instrument.
18. Forfeiture for Cause.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a determination is made as
provided in Section 18(b) of this Agreement (a “Forfeiture Determination”) that (i) the Executive,
before or after the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company and all Affiliates,
(A) committed fraud, embezzlement, theft, felony or an act of dishonesty in the course of his
employment by the Company or an Affiliate, (B) knowingly caused or assisted in causing the publicly
released financial statements of the Company to be misstated or the Company or a subsidiary of the
Company to engage in criminal misconduct, (C) disclosed trade secrets of the Company or an
Affiliate or (D) violated the terms of any non-competition, non-disclosure or similar agreement
with respect to the Company or any Affiliate to which the Executive is a party; and (ii) in the
case of the actions described in clause (A), (B) and (D), such action materially and adversely
affected the Company, then at or after the time such Forfeiture Determination is made the Board, in
its sole discretion, if such Forfeiture Determination is made prior to a Change in Control, or, as
determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, if such
Forfeiture Determination is made after a Change in Control, as a fair and equitable forfeiture to
reflect the harm done to the Company and a reduction of the

benefit bestowed on the Executive had the facts existing at the time the benefit was bestowed
that led to the Forfeiture Determination been known to the Company at the time the benefit was
bestowed, may determine that: (x) some or all of the Restricted Shares and Retained Distributions
awarded under this Agreement (including Restricted Shares and Retained Distributions that have
vested and Restricted Shares and Retained Distributions that have not yet vested), (y) some or all
of the dividends paid in cash or property with respect to Restricted Shares or Shares awarded under
this Agreement, and (z) some or all of the Shares awarded under this Agreement and the net proceeds
realized with respect to any Shares or other property received by the Executive under this
Agreement, will be forfeited to the Company on such terms as determined by the Board or the final,
non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) A Forfeiture Determination for purposes of Section 18(a) of this Agreement shall be made
(i) before the occurrence of a Change in Control, by a majority vote of the Board and (ii) on or
after the occurrence of a Change in Control, by the final, nonappealable order of a court of
competent jurisdiction. The findings and decision of the Board with respect to a Forfeiture
Determination made before the occurrence of a Change in Control, including those regarding the acts
of the Executive and the damage done to the Company, will be final for all purposes absent a
showing by clear and convincing evidence of manifest error by the Board. No decision of the Board,
however, will affect the finality of the discharge of the Executive by the Company or an Affiliate.

1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan
This NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made between The Men’s
Wearhouse, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), and (the
“Executive”) effective as of the
day of , 20 ( the “Grant Date”),
pursuant to The Men’s Wearhouse, Inc. 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the
“Plan”), a copy of which previously has been made available to the Executive and the terms and
provisions of which are incorporated by reference herein. The Company considers that the Company’s

defined in the Change in Control Agreement, a “Change in Control”) occurs then the Option shall
become fully exercisable upon the occurrence of the Change in Control provided that the Executive
continues to be employed by the Company or an Affiliate immediately prior to the occurrence of such
Change in Control.
For Executive with Change in Control Agreement
(d) To the extent not exercised, installments shall be cumulative and may be exercised in
whole or in part until the Option expires and terminates as provided in Section 4 of this
Agreement.
(e) In no event shall the Option be exercisable on or after the tenth anniversary of the Grant
Date.
2. Nontransferability. Except as specified below, the Option shall not be transferable or
assignable by the Executive other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and shall
be exercisable during the Executive’s lifetime only by the Executive.
3. No Vesting After Termination of Employment. In the event the Executive’s employment with
the Company and all Affiliates terminates for any reason, the Option shall not continue to vest
after such termination of employment.
4. Expiration and Termination of the Option. The Option shall expire, terminate and become
null and void as provided in this Section 4.
(a) The Option shall expire and terminate on the earlier of (i) the last day of the 10-year
period commencing on the Grant Date (the “Option General Expiration Date”) or (ii) one day less
than one month after the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company and all
Affiliates for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement.
(b) In the event the Executive’s employment with the Company and all Affiliates terminates as
a result of the Executive’s death while the Executive is employed by the Company or any Affiliate
and before the Option otherwise terminates as provided in Section 4(a) of this Agreement, the
Option shall expire and terminate on the earlier of (i) the Option General Expiration Date or

Option in respect of the number of shares that the Executive would have been entitled to purchase
had the Executive exercised the Option on the date the Executive’s employment with the Company and
all Affiliates terminated as a result of the Executive’s death.

terminate on the earlier of (i) the Option General Expiration Date or (ii) one year following the
date of the Executive’s Retirement, during which one year period the Executive shall be entitled to
exercise the Option in respect of the number of shares that the Executive would have been entitled
to purchase had the Executive exercised the Option on the date of the Executive’s Retirement and if
the Executive dies within that one year period, any rights the Executive may have had to exercise
the Option shall be exercisable by the Executive’s executors, administrators or any person or
persons to whom the Option may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution,
as appropriate, for the remainder of such one year period.
5. Amendment and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Plan or as necessary
to implement the provisions of the Plan, this Agreement may be amended, modified or superseded only
by written instrument executed by the Company and the Executive. Only a written instrument
executed and delivered by the party waiving compliance hereof shall make any waiver of the terms or
conditions. Any waiver granted by the Company shall be effective only if executed and delivered by
a duly authorized executive officer of the Company other than the Executive. The failure of any
party at any time or times to require performance of any provisions hereof shall in no manner
effect the right to enforce the same. No waiver by any party of any term or condition, or the
breach of any term or condition contained in this Agreement, in one or more instances, shall be
construed as a continuing waiver of any such condition or breach, a waiver of any other condition,
or the breach of any other term or condition.
6. Not an Employment Agreement. The grant of the Option imposes no obligation on the Company
or any Affiliate to employ the Executive for any period. This Agreement is not an employment
agreement, and no provision of this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted to create an
employment relationship between the Executive and the Company or any Affiliate or to guarantee the
right to remain employed by the Company or any Affiliate for any specified term.
7. No Rights of a Stockholder. The Executive shall not have any rights as a stockholder with
respect to any shares covered by the Option until the date of the issuance of the stock certificate
or certificates to the Executive for such shares following the Executive’s exercise of the Option,
in whole or in part, pursuant to its terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan and
payment for such shares and all withholding tax obligations with respect thereto. No adjustment
shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such
certificate or certificates are issued.
8. Limits on Exercisability. The Option shall not be exercisable until (a) the effective
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), of the shares to be received
pursuant to this Agreement (unless in the opinion of counsel for the Company such offering is
exempt from registration under the Act); and (b) compliance with all other applicable laws. If the
Executive is an officer or “affiliate” of the Company (as such term is defined under the Act), the
Executive consents to the placing on the certificate for any shares acquired upon exercise of the
Option of an appropriate legend restricting resale or other transfer of such shares, except in
accordance with the Act and all applicable rules thereunder.

For Executive with Change in Control Agreement
9. Tax Withholding. To the extent that the receipt or exercise of the Option results in
income to the Executive for federal, state or local income, employment or other tax purposes with
respect to which the Company or any Affiliate has a withholding obligation, the Executive shall
deliver to the Company at the time of such receipt or exercise, as the case may be, such amount of
money as the Company or any Affiliate may require to meet its obligation under applicable tax laws
or regulations, and, if the Executive fails to do so, the Company is authorized to withhold from
the shares of the Common Stock issued under this Agreement or from any cash or stock remuneration
then or thereafter payable to the Executive in any capacity any tax required to be withheld by
reason of such resulting income, including (without limitation) the shares of the Common Stock,
sufficient to satisfy the withholding obligation based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock
on the date that the withholding obligation arises.
10. Arbitration. In the event of any difference of opinion concerning the meaning or effect
of the Plan or this Agreement, such difference shall be resolved by the Committee. Any controversy
arising out of or relating to the Plan or this Agreement shall be resolved by arbitration conducted
in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The arbitration shall be final and binding on the
parties.
11. Governing Law and Severability. The validity, construction and performance of this
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, excluding any conflicts or choice of
law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement
to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. The invalidity of any provision of this Agreement
shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and
effect.
12. Notices. Any offer, notice, instruction, authorization, request or demand required
hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be delivered either by personal delivery, by telegram,
telex, telecopy or similar facsimile means, by certified or registered mail, return receipt
requested, or by courier or delivery service, addressed to the Company at the then current address

transmission being deemed receipt of communications sent by facsimile means); and when delivered
(or upon the date of attempted delivery where delivery is refused), if hand-delivered, sent by
express courier or delivery service, or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt
requested.
13. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall, except as herein stated to the contrary,
bind, be enforceable by and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns, and
to the Executive, the Executive’s permitted assigns, executors, administrators, agents, legal and
personal representatives.

governed by section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

accepts and agrees to be bound by all the terms and conditions of the Plan.
16. Forfeiture for Cause.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a determination is made as
provided in Section 16(b) of this Agreement (a “Forfeiture Determination”) that (i) the Executive,
before or after the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company and all Affiliates,
(A) committed fraud, embezzlement, theft, felony or an act of dishonesty in the course of his
employment by the Company or an Affiliate, (B) knowingly caused or assisted in causing the publicly

Company to engage in criminal misconduct, (C) disclosed trade secrets of the Company or an

with respect to the Company or any Affiliate to which the Executive is a party; and (ii) in the
case of the actions described in clause (A), (B) and (D), such action materially and adversely
affected the Company, then at or after the time such Forfeiture Determination is made the Board, in
its sole discretion, if such Forfeiture Determination is made prior to a Change in Control, or, as
determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, if such
Forfeiture Determination is made after a Change in Control, as a fair and equitable forfeiture to
reflect the harm done to the Company and a reduction of the benefit bestowed on the Executive had
the facts existing at the time the benefit was bestowed that led to the Forfeiture Determination
been known to the Company at the time the benefit was bestowed, may determine that: (x) some or
all of the Executive’s rights to shares of the Common Stock covered by the Option under this
Agreement (including vested rights that have been exercised, vested rights that have not been
exercised and rights that have not yet vested), (y) some or all of the dividends that have been
paid with respect to shares of the Common Stock covered by the Option under this Agreement, and

(i) before the occurrence of a Change in Control, by a majority vote of the Board and (ii) on or
after the occurrence of a Change in Control, by the final, nonappealable order of a court of
competent jurisdiction. The findings and decision of the Board with respect to a Forfeiture
Determination made before the occurrence of a Change in Control, including those regarding the acts
of the Executive and the damage done to the Company, will be final for all purposes absent a
showing by clear and convincing evidence of manifest error by the Board. No decision of the Board,
however, will affect the finality of the discharge of the Executive by the Company or an Affiliate.
