indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a
director or officer of the corporation or is or was serving at the corporation&#146;s request as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another entity, against expenses, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the
action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe the person&#146;s conduct
was unlawful. In the case of an action by or in the right of the corporation, however, such
indemnification may only apply to expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the
defense or settlement of the action and no such indemnification may be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which that person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that an appropriate court determines that such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses the court deems proper. To the
extent that such person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defending any action,
suit or proceeding referred to above or any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must
indemnify such person against the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection therewith..

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The Registrant maintains insurance policies providing for indemnification of directors and

Registrant and its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Michael S. Jeffries, provides as follows:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">13.&nbsp;Indemnification.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">(a)&nbsp;The Company agrees that if the Executive is made a party, or is threatened to be made a
party, to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(a &#147;Proceeding&#148;), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the
Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, member, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including
service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether or not the basis of the Proceeding is the
Executive&#146;s alleged action in an official capacity while serving as a director, officer, member,
employee or agent, the Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the
fullest extent legally permitted or authorized by the Company&#146;s certificate of incorporation or
bylaws or resolutions of the Company&#146;s Board of Directors or, if greater, by the laws of the State
of Delaware, against all cost, expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation,
attorneys&#146; fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or other liabilities or penalties and amounts
paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by the Executive in connection
therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to the Executive even if he has ceased to be
a director, member, employee or agent of the Company or other entity and shall inure to the benefit
of the Executive&#146;s heirs, executors and administrators. The Company shall advance to the Executive
all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by him in connection with a Proceeding within 20
calendar days after receipt by the Company of a written request for such advance. Such request
shall include an undertaking by the Executive to repay the amount of such advance if it shall
ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified against such costs and expenses;
provided that the amount of such obligation to repay shall be limited to the after-tax amount of
any such advance except to the extent the Executive is able to offset such taxes incurred on the
advance by the tax benefit, if any, attributable to a deduction realized by him for the repayment.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">(b)&nbsp;Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors, independent legal
counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any Proceeding
concerning payment of amounts claimed by the Executive under Section 13(a) above that
indemnification of the Executive is proper because he has met the applicable standard of conduct,
nor a determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or
stockholders) that the Executive has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a
presumption in any judicial proceeding that the Executive has not met the applicable standard of
conduct.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">(c)&nbsp;The Company agrees to continue and maintain a directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance
policy covering the Executive, until such time as actions against the Executive are no longer
permitted by law, with terms and conditions no less favorable than the most favorable coverage then
applying to any other senior level executive officer or director of the Company.

that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that 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 of 1933 and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.</TD>

In addition, pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the

of shares that may be necessary to adjust the number of shares reserved for delivery pursuant
to the Amended and Restated Abercrombie & Fitch Co. 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan")
in accordance with the anti-dilution provisions of the Plan as the result of a stock split,
reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or other similar transaction or
adjustment affecting the Class A Common Stock of Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (the "Registrant") as
specified in such anti-dilution provisions.

and 457(h) under the Securities Act and computed on the basis of the average of the high and

Series A Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock Purchase Rights (the "Rights") evidence the
right to purchase under certain conditions, one one-thousandth of a share of Series A
Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Registrant. The Registrant is required to
deliver .50 Right, subject to adjustment, with each share of Class A Common Stock that becomes
outstanding until the "distribution date" for the Rights, at which date the Rights will
commence trading separately from the shares of Class A Common Stock. Prior to the
"distribution date," the Rights trade together with the Class A Common Stock. The value
attributable to the Rights, if any, is reflected in the market price of the Class A Common
Stock.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Delaware General Corporation Law
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") provides that a corporation may
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a
director or officer of the corporation or is or was serving at the corporation's request as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another entity, against expenses, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the
action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct
was unlawful. In the case of an action by or in the right of the corporation, however, such
indemnification may only apply to expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the
defense or settlement of the action and no such indemnification may be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which that person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that an appropriate court determines that such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses the court deems proper. To the
extent that such person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defending any action,
suit or proceeding referred to above or any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must
indemnify such person against the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection therewith..
Amended and Restated Bylaws
Article V of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws provides as follows:
Section 5.01.
Indemnification
. (a) The corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless
any person (and the heirs, executors or administrators of such person) who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in, any threatened, pending, or completed action,
suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative, by reason of the fact that he, his testator, or intestate is or was a
director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, or as a member of any committee or similar body, to the fullest extent permitted
by the laws of Delaware as they may exist from time to time. The right to indemnification conferred
in this Article V shall also include the right to be paid by the corporation the expenses incurred
in connection with any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the fullest extent
permitted by the laws of Delaware as they may exist from time to time.
2
Table of Contents
(b) The corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to such
of the employees and agents of the corporation to such extent and to such effect as the Board of
Directors shall determine to be appropriate and authorized by the laws of Delaware as they may
exist from time to time.
Section 5.02.
Insurance
. The proper officers of the corporation, without further
authorization by the Board of Directors, may in their discretion purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is
or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent for
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability.
Section 5.03.
ERISA
. To assure indemnification under this Article V of all such
persons who are or were "fiduciaries" of an employee benefit plan governed by the Act of Congress
entitled "Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974", as amended from time to time, the
provisions of this Article V shall, for the purposes hereof, be interpreted as follows: an "other
enterprise" shall be deemed to include an employee benefit plan; the corporation shall be deemed to
have requested a person to serve as an employee of an employee benefit plan where the performance
by such person of his duties to the corporation also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves
services by, such person to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes
assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to said Act of Congress
shall be deemed "fines"; and action taken or omitted by a person with respect to an employee
benefit plan in the performance of such person's duties for a purpose reasonably believed by such
person to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to
be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.
Section 5.04.
Contractual Nature
. The foregoing provisions of this Article V shall be
deemed to be a contract between the corporation and each director and officer who serves in such
capacity at any time while this Article V is in effect. Neither any repeal or modification of this
Article V or, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of Delaware, any repeal or modification
of laws, shall affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts
then or theretofore existing or any action, suit or proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought
based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts.
Section 5.05.
Construction
. For the purposes of this Article V, references to "the
corporation" include in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation
(including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its
separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors,
officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such
constituent corporation or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise or as a member of any committee or similar body shall stand in the same position
under the provisions of this Article V with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as
such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had
continued.
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
Article SIXTH of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides
as follows:
Section 4.
Elimination of Certain Personal Liability of Directors
. A director of
this Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of any fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware
Law.
Amended and Restated Abercrombie & Fitch Co. 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan
Section 3(c) of the Plan provides that the members of the Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors of the Registrant (the "Committee"), any person acting pursuant to authority delegated
by the Committee, and any officer or employee of the Registrant or a subsidiary or affiliate acting
at the direction or on behalf of the Committee or a delegee shall not be personally liable for any
action or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and shall, to the
extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Registrant with respect to any
such action or determination.

Directors and Officers Insurance Policies
The Registrant maintains insurance policies providing for indemnification of directors and
officers and for reimbursement to the Registrant for monies which it may pay as indemnity to any
director or officer, subject to the conditions and exclusions of the policies and specified
retention provisions.
Employment Agreement
Section 13 of the Employment Agreement, entered into as of December 19, 2008, between the
Registrant and its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Michael S. Jeffries, provides as follows:
13. Indemnification.
(a) The Company agrees that if the Executive is made a party, or is threatened to be made a
party, to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(a "Proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the
Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, member, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including
service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether or not the basis of the Proceeding is the
Executive's alleged action in an official capacity while serving as a director, officer, member,
employee or agent, the Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the
fullest extent legally permitted or authorized by the Company's certificate of incorporation or
bylaws or resolutions of the Company's Board of Directors or, if greater, by the laws of the State
of Delaware, against all cost, expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or other liabilities or penalties and amounts
paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by the Executive in connection
therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to the Executive even if he has ceased to be
a director, member, employee or agent of the Company or other entity and shall inure to the benefit
of the Executive's heirs, executors and administrators. The Company shall advance to the Executive
all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by him in connection with a Proceeding within 20
calendar days after receipt by the Company of a written request for such advance. Such request
shall include an undertaking by the Executive to repay the amount of such advance if it shall
ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified against such costs and expenses;
provided that the amount of such obligation to repay shall be limited to the after-tax amount of
any such advance except to the extent the Executive is able to offset such taxes incurred on the
advance by the tax benefit, if any, attributable to a deduction realized by him for the repayment.
(b) Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors, independent legal
counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any Proceeding
concerning payment of amounts claimed by the Executive under Section 13(a) above that
indemnification of the Executive is proper because he has met the applicable standard of conduct,
nor a determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or
stockholders) that the Executive has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a
presumption in any judicial proceeding that the Executive has not met the applicable standard of
conduct.
(c) The Company agrees to continue and maintain a directors' and officers' liability insurance
policy covering the Executive, until such time as actions against the Executive are no longer
permitted by law, with terms and conditions no less favorable than the most favorable coverage then
applying to any other senior level executive officer or director of the Company.

(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 of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of the 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 the 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) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 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 the
Registration Statement or any material change to such information in
the 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
Securities and Exchange Commission by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement.

Table of Contents
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, 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.
(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 of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated
by reference in the 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 of
1933 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that 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 of 1933 and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
