    <remarks>(A)  On April 14, 2003, Mr. Zimmer and Bear, Stearns &amp; Co. Inc. entered into an agreement pursuant to which Bear Stearns agreed to pay Mr. Zimmer an amount equal to 86.6% of the amount received by Bear Stearns on average for the sale of up to 350,000 shares of The Men's Wearhouse, Inc. common stock (&quot;Common Stock&quot;) during a period of up to 90 days but subject to a floor price of $16.00 per share.  In return, Mr. Zimmer agreed to deliver to Bear Stearns in three tranches on or around the fifth anniversary date of the last of the sales by Bear Stearns the lesser of 350,000 shares of Common Stock or a number of share which at the time of delivery has a market value equal to 100% of the amount received by Bear Stearns referred to above but not less than 280,000 shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that Mr. Zimmer has the right to elect to settle the transaction in cash in lieu of delivering shares.  Mr. Zimmer pledged 350,000 shares of Common Stock to Bear Stearns to secure his o
bligation.  On May 7, 2003, Bear Stearns provided to Mr. Zimmer the Final Transaction Supplement confirming the execution and pricing of the  transaction.  The number of shares set forth in this footnote are before giving effect to a three-for-two stock split effected as a 50% stock dividend in June 2005.
(B)  On April 14, 2008, the  first of the three tranches were settled based on the closing stock price for the Company's common stock on that date as reported on the New York Stock Exchange which resulted in Mr. Zimmer delivering 155,268 shares of Common Stock to Bear Stearns.</remarks>
