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 interests will be served by granting the Executive an option to purchase shares of common stock of the Company as an inducement for the Executive's continued and effective performance of services for the Company or an Affiliate. Capitalized terms that are not specifically defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

     IT IS AGREED THAT:

     1. Grant of the Option. Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, on the Grant Date the Company has granted to the Executive an option to purchase                      shares of the common stock, $.01 par value per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") at a price of $                     per share, subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan (the "Option"). The Option shall vest and become exercisable as set forth below:

Date On and After Which Portion of Option May Be Exercised		Additional Percentage of Option Vested and Exerciseable		Additional Number of Shares With Respect to Which Option May Be Exercised

          (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if, during the term of that Change in Control Agreement Between The Men's Wearhouse, Inc. and the Executive, dated effective May 15, 2009 (the "Change in Control Agreement"), a Change in Control (as that term is 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.

     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 (ii) one year following the date of the Executive's death, during which one year period 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, 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 the Executive's employment with the Company and all Affiliates terminated as a result of the Executive's death.

          (c) In the event the Executive's employment with the Company and all Affiliates terminates as a result of the Executive incurring a Disability 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 (ii) one year following the date on which the Executive's employment with the Company and all Affiliates terminates as a result of the Executive incurring a Disability, 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 the Executive's employment with the Company and all Affiliates terminated as a result of the Executive incurring a Disability.

     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 of the Company's Principal Corporate Office, and to the Executive at the Executive's residential address indicated beneath the Executive's signature on the execution page of this Agreement, or at such other address and number as a party shall have previously designated by written notice given to the other party in the manner hereinabove set forth.
