Chairman Compensation (Direct and Indirect)

(“JMI”)).
Since October 1999, the Company has had an ongoing consulting agreement with JMI to assist in developing and implementing a strategic plan for the Company and for other related consulting services as may be agreed upon between JMI and the Company. The consulting agreement dated April 29, 2003, and most recently amended by a letter agreement dated May 26, 2006, is for a three-year term and automatically renews on each anniversary of the agreement’s commencement date for additional one-year periods, unless ninety-days notice by either party is otherwise given. The initial three-year term was from April 29, 2003 until April 28, 2006. On each anniversary of the agreement’s commencement date, the term was extended for a one-year period. Accordingly, as of April 26, 2006, the most recent anniversary of the consulting agreement, the term was extended to April 28, 2009. The consulting agreement with JMI includes a significant disincentive for non-performance, which would require JMI to pay to the Company a penalty equal to 150% of any unearned consulting services.
On April 24, 2006, the Company granted to Mr. Holtzman stock options with respect to 160,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. These stock options have an exercise price of $9.27 per share and will vest ratably over a three-year period, with the first one-third vesting on April 24, 2007.
On May 26, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors increased JMI’s annual consulting fees from $412,000 to $527,000. In addition, JMI will continue to receive $24,000 annually for expense reimbursements. JMI will also be entitled to receive a cash bonus for fiscal 2006 ranging from 80% to 150% of a bonus target of $575,000 if the Company achieves a certain range of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization) for fiscal 2006. Mr. Holtzman will continue to receive an annual salary of $24,000.
The following table summarizes the total compensation Mr. Holtzman has received, directly as an officer of the Company and indirectly through JMI, over the past three fiscal years on a combined basis.

| (*) | The maximum compensation that may be used as of December 31, 1998 to calculate benefits under the Pension and Supplemental Plans is $267,326. |
In December 1993, Casual Male Corp. established the Supplemental Plan to provide benefits attributable to compensation in excess of the qualified plan limit, which was $160,000 but less than $267,326. The benefits provided by the Pension Plan and the Supplemental Plan are equal to (i) the sum of 0.75% of the executive’s highest consecutive five year average annual compensation plus 0.65% of the excess of the executive’s highest consecutive five year average annual compensation over the average of the Social Security taxable wage bases, multiplied by (ii) the executive’s years of “benefit service” with the Company (not to exceed 30 years). Effective February 1, 1995, compensation for such purposes was defined as all compensation reported on Form W-2 (excluding such items as bonus and stock options) up to a maximum of $267,326 for the calendar year ended December 31, 1998. Annual benefits are payable under the Pension Plan for retirees at age 65, prior to the offset, if any, for benefits accrued under the retirement plan of Casual Male Corp. and for Social Security benefits.
On May 3, 1997, Casual Male Corp.’s board of directors voted to amend the Pension Plan to cease all benefits accruals under the Pension Plan as of that date. Effective December 31, 1998, the Casual Male Corp.’s board of directors voted to cease all benefit accruals under its Supplemental Plan.
As of January 28, 2006, Mr. Cornely was the only Named Executive Officer of the Company who was a participant in the Pension Plan and Supplemental Plan. As such, Mr. Cornely will be entitled to an accrued benefit under the Pension Plan upon turning 65 year of age of $11,981.38 and a benefit of $4,715.07 under the Supplemental Plan.
401(k) Plan
The Company has a 401(k) Plan for which all eligible employees of the Company may participate. The 401(k) Plan, which is a defined contribution plan, permits each participant to defer up to 15% of such participant’s annual salary up to a maximum annual amount ($14,000 in calendar 2005, $13,000 in calendar 2004 and $12,000 in calendar 2003). The Board of Directors of the Company may determine, from fiscal year to fiscal year, whether and to what extent the Company will contribute to the 401(k) Plan by matching contributions made to such plan by eligible employees. During fiscal 2005, the matching contribution by the Company continued to be 50% of contributions by eligible employees up to a maximum of six percent of salary.

In fiscal 2000, the Company obtained a key man life insurance policy in the amount of $2,000,000 on the life of Mr. Levin. In fiscal 2001, the Company obtained a key man life insurance policy in the amount of $2,000,000 on the life of Mr. Hernreich.
Employment Agreements
The Company has employment agreements, which were most recently amended by letter agreements dated May 26, 2006 (collectively, the “Employment Agreements”), with David A. Levin and Dennis R. Hernreich. The Employment Agreements are for three-year terms, and automatically renew on each anniversary of the agreement’s commencement date for additional one-year periods, unless ninety-day notice by either party is otherwise given. The initial three-year term of Mr. Levin’s Employment Agreement was from April 10, 2000 until April 10, 2003. On each anniversary of the agreement’s commencement date, the term was extended for a one-year period. Accordingly, as of April 10, 2006, the most recent anniversary of Mr. Levin’s agreement’s commencement date, Mr. Levin’s employment with the Company was extended for an additional one-year period thereby extending the agreement to April 10, 2009. The initial three-year term of Mr. Hernreich’s Employment Agreement was from September 4, 2000 until September 4, 2003. On each anniversary of the agreement’s commencement date, the term was extended for a one-year period. Accordingly, as of September 4, 2005, the most recent anniversary of Mr. Hernreich’s agreement’s commencement date, Mr. Hernreich’s Employment Agreement with the Company was extended for an additional one-year period thereby extending the agreement to September 4, 2008.
These Employment Agreements require each executive officer to devote substantially all of the executive officer’s time and attention to the business of the Company as necessary to fulfill his respective duties. The Employment Agreements, as most recently amended, provide that Messrs. Levin and Hernreich would be paid base salaries at annual rates of $750,000 and $575,000, respectively. The Employment Agreements provide that the annual rate of base salary for the renewal term may be increased by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.
The Employment Agreements also provide for the payment of bonuses in such amounts as may be determined by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors shall determine, in its sole discretion, the amount of bonus to be paid to the executive officers. While Messrs. Levin and Hernreich are employed by the Company, the Company will provide each executive an automobile allowance in the amount of $800 and $700 per month, respectively. Each executive is entitled to vacation and to participate in and receive any other benefits customarily provided by the Company to its senior executives (including any bonus, retirement, short and long-term disability insurance, major medical insurance and group life insurance plans in accordance with the terms of such plans), including stock option plans, all as determined from time to time by the Compensation Committee.
Pursuant to the Company’s Executive Incentive Plan for fiscal 2005, on April 14, 2006, Messrs. Levin and Hernreich received bonuses of $450,000 and $345,000, respectively, based on the achievement of certain performance targets in fiscal 2005.
On April 24, 2006, the Company granted to Messrs. Levin and Hernreich stock options with respect to 200,000 and 160,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively. These stock options have an exercise price of $9.27 per share and will vest ratably over a three-year period, with the first one-third vesting on April 24, 2007.
Pursuant to the recent letter agreements dated May 26, 2006, Messrs. Levin and Hernreich will each be entitled to receive a cash bonus for fiscal 2006 ranging from 80% to 150% of their respective annual salaries if the Company achieves a certain range of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization) for fiscal 2006.
The Employment Agreements provide that in the event the executive officer’s employment is terminated by the Company at any time for any reason other than “justifiable cause” (as defined in the Employment Agreements), disability or death, the Company is required to pay the executive officer the greater of (1) the base salary for the remaining term of the related Employment Agreement or (2) an amount equal to one half of the executive officer’s annual salary. If the remaining term of the related Employment Agreement on the date of termination is more than six months, the executive officer must make a good faith effort to find new employment and mitigate damages, costs and expenses to the Company. The Employment Agreements also provide that if the executive is terminated without justifiable cause within one year after a Change of Control of the Company (as defined below) has occurred, the executive officer shall receive a lump sum payment in an amount equal to the greater of (1) the base salary for the remaining term of the related Employment Agreement or (2) the current base salary for one year.
The Employment Agreements contain confidentiality provisions pursuant to which each executive officer agrees not to disclose confidential information regarding the Company. The Employment Agreements also contain covenants pursuant to which each executive officer agrees, during the term of his employment and for a one-year period following the termination of his employment, not to have any connection with any business which competes with the business of the Company.
For purposes of the Employment Agreements, a “Change in Control of the Company” shall mean (i) any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any person or group of related persons within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (“Group”), (ii) any acquisition by any person or Group of shares of capital stock of the Company representing more than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the Company entitled under ordinary circumstances to elect the directors of the Company (“Voting Stock”) or (iii) any replacement of a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company over the twelve-month period following the acquisition of shares of the capital
stock of the Company representing more than 10% of the Voting Stock by any person or Group which does not currently own more than 10% of such Voting Stock (unless such replacement shall have been approved by the vote of the majority of the directors then in office who either were members of the Board of Directors at the beginning of such twelve-month period or whose elections as directors were previously so approved).
The Company also has employment agreements with Mr. Cornely, Ms. Carlo and Mr. Sockolov.
When the Company acquired the Casual Male business in May 2002, the Company agreed to abide by the terms of Mr. Cornely’s Severance Compensation Agreement, which was entered into with Casual Male Corp. Pursuant to the terms of this Severance Compensation Agreement, in the event that Mr. Cornely’s employment with the Company is terminated for reasons defined in the agreement, the Company will pay to Mr. Cornely a severance payment of up to 14 months of his annual salary. The amount actually paid would be dependent on the reason for termination, decreased by the amount earned as the result of any subsequent employment obtained during the severance period.
The Company’s employment agreement with Ms. Carlo, which was most recently amended on June 29, 2004, is for a two-year term beginning on August 4, 2004. Pursuant to that agreement, Ms. Carlo receives an annual salary of $303,000 and is entitled to participate in the Company’s bonus program at a bonus incentive rate of 40% of her annual base salary, depending on the performance of the Company and at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee. Ms. Carlo receives an automobile allowance in the amount of $700 per month and is entitled to vacation and to participate in and receive any other benefits customarily provided by the Company to its senior executives.
On October 29, 2004, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Sockolov. Under the terms of that employment agreement, which will terminate January 31, 2008, Mr. Sockolov serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company’s Rochester division. The Company pays Mr. Sockolov an annual base salary of $250,000, subject to annual increases as determined by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof. Mr. Sockolov receives an automobile allowance of $700 per month and is entitled to six weeks of vacation and other benefits customarily provided by the Company to its senior executives. On December 19, 2005, Mr. Sockolov received an option to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.97 per share. This option became fully vested on January 27, 2006 in connection with the Company’s acceleration of all of its outstanding stock options.
The employment agreement provides that in the event Mr. Sockolov’s employment is terminated by the Company for any reason other than “cause” (as defined in the agreement) or death, Mr. Sockolov will be entitled to receive his full compensation and benefits under the employment agreement through January 31, 2008.

Non-employee directors received $500 for certain telephonic board or committee meetings. In addition, the Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional $10,000 on an annual basis for serving in such capacity.
During fiscal 2005, non-employee directors of the Company were also eligible to participate in the Company’s 1992 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “1992 Plan”). Pursuant to the 1992 Plan, each non-employee director of the Company is entitled to receive a stock option to purchase 15,000 shares of Common Stock upon such director’s election and a stock option to purchase 15,000 shares of Common Stock upon such director’s re-election. Such stock options were originally structured to become exercisable in three equal annual installments commencing with the date of grant. These options became fully vested on January 27, 2006 in connection with the Company’s acceleration of all of its outstanding stock options. All options are granted with a term of ten years.
The 1992 Plan provides that non-employee directors of the Company may elect to receive all or a portion of their directors’ fees, on a current or deferred basis, in shares of Common Stock that are free of any restrictions under the 1992 Plan. A director wishing to receive Common Stock in lieu of cash would enter into an irrevocable agreement with the Company in advance of the beginning of a calendar year. During fiscal 2005, all non-employee directors elected to receive their directors’ fees in Common Stock.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
For fiscal 2005, the members of the Compensation Committee were Messrs. Choper and Porter. Joseph Pennacchio also served as a member of the Compensation Committee through October 12, 2005 when he retired as a director of the Company.
