<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">The Registrant&#146;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Registrant will, to
the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time
(the &#147;DGCL&#148;), indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant to the DGCL. The Registrant&#146;s
Amended and Restated Bylaws contain a similar provision requiring indemnification of the
Registrant&#146;s directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. The DGCL permits
a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers (among others) against expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought (or threatened to be brought) by
third parties, if the directors or officers acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. In a
derivative action (i.e., one by or in the right of the corporation), indemnification may be
provided for expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by directors and
officers in connection with the defense or settlement of that action if they had acted in good
faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, except that no indemnification will be provided in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which they have been adjudged liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent
that the Court of Chancery or the court in which that action or suit was brought determines upon
application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the
case, they are fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for those expenses. The DGCL further
provides that, to the extent any director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise
in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in this paragraph, or in defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, that director or officer will be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.
In addition, the Registrant&#146;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision limiting
the personal liability of the Registrant&#146;s directors for monetary damages for certain breaches of
their fiduciary duty.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">The Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that the Registrant may purchase
insurance on behalf of certain persons, including directors or officers. The DGCL provides that a
corporation shall have the power to purchase insurance on behalf of certain persons, including
directors and officers, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify those
persons under the DGCL. The Registrant has indemnification insurance under which directors and
officers are insured against certain liability that may occur in their capacity as such. In
addition, the Registrant is a party to indemnification agreements with its directors and certain
officers of the Registrant which entitle them to be indemnified for certain liabilities and
expenses incurred by them in those capacities.

</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">(1)&nbsp;To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-left: 8%; text-indent: 4%">(i)&nbsp;To include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act;
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-left: 8%; text-indent: 4%">(ii)&nbsp;To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than 20&nbsp;percent change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the effective
registration statement;
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-left: 8%; text-indent: 4%">(iii)&nbsp;To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material
change to such information in this Registration Statement;
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Provided, however that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with
or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement;
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">(2)&nbsp;That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">(3)&nbsp;To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">(b)&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">(c)&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The following documents filed with the Commission by Jos. A. Bank Clothiers, Inc. (the
"Registrant") pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), are
incorporated by reference herein:
(a)
the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January
30, 2010, filed on March 31, 2010;
(b)
the Registrant's Proxy Statement for the annual meeting of stockholders of the

1, 2010, filed on June 2, 2010, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q/A filed on June 10, 2010;
(d)
the Registrant's Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed on March 8, 2010, April 12,
2010, May 3, 2010, June 14, 2010 and June 17, 2010; and
(e)
the description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in the Registrant's
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No. 33-76282), filed on March 9, 1994 (as
incorporated by reference in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A (No.
0-23874), filed on April 18, 1994), including all amendments or reports filed for the
purpose of updating that description.
In addition to the foregoing, all documents subsequently filed by Jos. A. Bank Clothiers, Inc.
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment indicating that all of the securities offered hereunder have been sold or
deregistering all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference
in this Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any
statement contained in a document incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that
a statement contained herein or in any subsequently filed document that is also incorporated by
reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or superseded
shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration
Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
None.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Registrant will, to
the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time
(the "DGCL"), indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant to the DGCL. The Registrant's
Amended and Restated Bylaws contain a similar provision requiring indemnification of the
Registrant's directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. The DGCL permits
a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers (among others) against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought (or threatened to be brought) by
third parties, if the directors or officers acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. In a
derivative action (i.e., one by or in the right of the corporation), indemnification may be
provided for expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by directors and
officers in connection with the defense or settlement of that action if they had acted in good
faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, except that no indemnification will be provided in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which they have been adjudged liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent
that the Court of Chancery or the court in which that action or suit was brought determines upon
application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the
case, they are fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for those expenses. The DGCL further
provides that, to the extent any director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise
in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in this paragraph, or in defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, that director or officer will be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.
In addition, the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision limiting
the personal liability of the Registrant's directors for monetary damages for certain breaches of
their fiduciary duty.
The Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that the Registrant may purchase
insurance on behalf of certain persons, including directors or officers. The DGCL provides that a
corporation shall have the power to purchase insurance on behalf of certain persons, including
directors and officers, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify those
persons under the DGCL. The Registrant has indemnification insurance under which directors and
officers are insured against certain liability that may occur in their capacity as such. In
addition, the Registrant is a party to indemnification agreements with its directors and certain
officers of the Registrant which entitle them to be indemnified for certain liabilities and
expenses incurred by them in those capacities.
The foregoing summaries are subject to the complete text of the DGCL, the Registrant's
Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, and the arrangements
referred to above, and are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
Reference is made to the documents listed on the attached Exhibit Index, each of which is
incorporated by reference herein.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material
change to such information in this Registration Statement;
Provided, however that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with
or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
