Units to Eligible Persons; (ii) interpret and administer the Plan; (iii) establish, amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan; (iv) determine which Participating Company will grant Share Units;
(v) establish conditions to the vesting of Share Units; (vi) set, waive and amend performance targets; and (vii) make any other determinations that the Committee deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. The

respect to the administration and interpretation of the Plan shall be conclusive and binding on the Participants. 
 To the extent that any Share Unit
granted to a U.S. Participant is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, such Share Unit shall be subject to such additional rules and requirements as specified by the
Committee from time to time in order to 

  
 5 

 
comply with Code Section 409A. If any provision of the Plan contravenes Code Section 409A or could cause the U.S. Participant to incur any tax, interest or penalties under Code
Section 409A, the Committee may, in its sole discretion and without the U.S. Participant’s consent, modify such provision to (i) comply with, or avoid being subject to, Code Section 409A, or to avoid incurring taxes, interest or
penalties under Code Section 409A, and otherwise (ii) maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent and economic benefit to the U.S. Participant of the applicable provision without materially increasing the cost to any
Participating Company or contravening Code Section 409A. However, the Corporation shall have no obligation to modify the Plan or any Share Unit and does not guarantee that Share Units will not be subject to taxes, interest and penalties under
Code Section 409A. 
  

	2.2	Governing Law 

 The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province
of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. 
  

	2.3	Determination of Value if Common Shares Not Publicly Traded 

 Should Common Shares no longer be publicly
traded at the relevant time such that the Fair Market Value cannot be determined in accordance with the formula set out in the definition of that term, the Fair Market Value of a Common Share shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

  

	2.4	Taxes and Other Source Deductions 

 A Participating Company shall be authorized to deduct from any
amount to be paid or credited hereunder any Applicable Withholdings in such manner as the Corporation determines, to the extent such Applicable Withholdings are not satisfied through the sale of Shares as provided in Section 3.5. 

 

	2.5	U.S. Participant 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, to the extent that a

Section 409A of the Code. 

  

	Section 3.	Share Units 

  

	3.1	Awards of Share Units 

 The Board may grant Share Units to Eligible Persons in its sole discretion. The
award of a Share Unit to an Eligible Person at any time shall neither entitle such Eligible Person to receive nor preclude such Eligible Person from receiving a subsequent grant of Share Units and shall not restrict in any way the right of any
Participating Company to terminate the Eligible Person’s employment.

	3.2	Election to Defer Annual Incentive Compensation 

 Subject to the approval by the Board or the Committee,
as applicable, an Eligible Person may elect to defer all or a portion of compensation to be received under the Corporation’s annual incentive plan, by electing to receive such compensation in the form of Restricted Share Units, by delivering to
the Corporation an Election Notice not later than December 31 of the year preceding the first date of any period of services over which any compensation to be received under the annual incentive plan would be earned. An Eligible Person who
elects to defer incentive compensation by electing to receive such compensation in the form of Restricted Share Units will be awarded the number of Restricted Share Units determined by dividing the dollar amount of incentive compensation to be
deferred by the Fair Market Value of a Common Share as at the Award Date. Elections pursuant to this section, when made, shall be irrevocable and may not be made during a period when the Eligible Person is prohibited from trading in securities of
the Corporation by the Corporation’s disclosure and insider trading policy.

 Share Units granted to a Participant shall be
credited to the Participant’s Share Unit Account on the Grant Date. Each grant of Share Units must be confirmed by a Grant Agreement that may be acknowledged electronically by the Participant. From time to time, a Participant’s Share Unit
Account shall be credited with Dividend Share Units in the form of additional Performance Share Units (“Dividend Performance Share Units”) in respect of outstanding Performance Share Units or additional Restricted Share Units
(“Dividend Restricted Share Units”) in respect of outstanding Restricted Share Units on each dividend payment date in respect of which normal cash dividends are paid on Shares. Such Dividend Share Units shall be computed as: 

 

	 	(b)	the amount of the dividend declared and paid per Common Share multiplied by the number of Performance Share Units and Restricted Share Units, as applicable, recorded in the Participant’s Share Unit Account on the
date for the payment of such dividend, divided by 

  

	 	(c)	the Fair Market Value of a Common Share as at the dividend payment date. 

  

	3.4	Redemption Date Notice 

 Participants shall elect a Redemption Date for Share Units as follows: 

 

	 	(a)	Canadian Participants may elect at any time to redeem Vested Share Units on any date or dates after the date the Share Units become Vested Share Units and on or before the Expiry Date (the “Redemption

Participant following the redemption or will hold the Common Shares received on the redemption, and provided also that if the Participant (other than a U.S. Participant) does not elect a Redemption Date in respect of an award of Share Units, the

regulatory body. 

  

	 	(b)	The Board may from time to time, in its absolute discretion and without the approval of the shareholders of the Corporation, make the following amendments to the Plan or any Share Unit:

	 	(i)	any amendment to the vesting provisions of the Plan and any Grant Agreement, including to accelerate, conditionally or otherwise, on such terms as it sees fit, the vesting date of a Share Unit;

any other provision of the Plan, correct any grammatical or typographical errors or amend the definitions in the Plan regarding administration of the Plan; 

  

	 	(v)	any amendment respecting the administration of the Plan; and 

  

	 	(vi)	any other amendment that does not require the approval of the shareholders of the Corporation including, for greater certainty, an amendment in connection with a Change of Control to assist the Participants to tender
the underlying Common Shares to, or participate in, the actual or potential event or to obtain the advantage of holding the underlying Common Shares during such event; and to terminate, following the successful completion of such event, on such
terms as it sees fit, the Share Units not redeemed prior to the successful completion of such event. 

  

	 	(c)	Shareholder approval will be required for the following amendments: 

  

	 	(i)	any amendment to increase the number of Common Shares issuable under the Plan or change the Plan from a fixed maximum number of Common Shares issuable to a fixed maximum percentage of Common Shares issuable;

  

	 	(ii)	any amendment expanding the categories of Eligible Person which would have the potential of broadening or increasing insider participation; 

 

	 	(iii)	any amendment extending the term of a Share Unit or any rights pursuant thereto held by an insider beyond its original expiry date; 

 

	 	(iv)	the addition of any other provision which results in participants receiving Common Shares, while no cash consideration is received by the Corporation; 

 

	 	(v)	amendments to this Section 6.2; and 

  

	 	(vi)	amendments required to be approved by shareholders under applicable law (including, without limitation, the rules, regulations and policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange and the NYSE MKT). 

 

	 	(d)	If this Plan is terminated, the provisions of this Plan and any administrative guidelines, and other rules adopted by the Board and in force at the time of this Plan, will continue in effect as long as a Share Unit or
any rights pursuant thereto remain outstanding. However, notwithstanding the termination of the Plan, the Board may make any amendments to the Plan or the Share Units it would be entitled to make if the Plan were still in effect. 

  
 12 

	 	(e)	The Board may amend or modify any outstanding Share Unit in any manner to the extent that the Board would have had the authority to initially grant the award as so modified or amended; provided that, where such
amendment or modification is materially adverse to the holder, the consent of the holder is required to effect such amendment or modification. 

  

	6.3	Non-Exclusivity 

 Nothing contained herein will prevent the Board from adopting other or additional
compensation arrangements for the benefit of any Participant, subject to any required regulatory or shareholder approval. 
  

	6.4	Unfunded Plan 

 To the extent any individual holds any rights under the Plan, such rights (unless
otherwise determined by the Committee) shall be no greater than the rights of an unsecured general creditor of the Corporation. 
  

	6.5	Successors and Assigns 

 The Plan shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Participating
Companies and each Participant, including without limitation, the legal representative of a Participant, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the creditors of a Participating Company or a Participant. 

 

	6.6	Transferability of Awards 

 Rights respecting Share Units and Dividend Share Units shall not be
transferable or assignable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
  

	6.7	Effect of Change of Control 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, in the event of a Change
of Control, any surviving, successor or acquiring entity shall assume any outstanding Share Units and Dividend Share Units or shall substitute similar share units for the outstanding Share Units and Dividend Share Units. If the surviving, successor
or acquiring entity does not assume the outstanding Share Units and Dividend Share Units or substitute similar share units for the outstanding Share Units and Dividend Share Units, or if the Committee otherwise determines in its sole discretion, the
Corporation shall give written notice to all Participants advising that the Plan shall be terminated effective immediately prior to the Change of Control and all Restricted Share Units and Dividend Restricted Units shall be deemed to be Vested
Restricted Share Units and a specified number of outstanding Performance Share Units and Dividend Performance Share Units shall be deemed to be Vested Performance Share Units and shall be redeemed as of the termination date of the Plan. The number
of Performance Share Units and Dividend Performance Share Units which are deemed to be Vested Performance Share Units shall be determined in the Committee’s discretion using an Adjustment Factor of not less than 100% and not more than 200%.
Solely for purposes of this Section 6.7, with respect to an outstanding Share Unit that is considered a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A and Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b), the term Change of Control shall have the
meaning ascribed to the term “change in control event” under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(5). 
  

	6.8	No Special Rights 

 Nothing contained in the Plan or in any Share Unit or Dividend Share Unit will
confer upon any Participant any right to the continuation of the Participant’s employment by a Participating Company or interfere in 

  
 13 

 
any way with the right of any Participating Company at any time to terminate that employment or to increase or decrease the compensation of the Participant. Share Units and Dividend Share Units
shall not be considered Common Shares nor shall they entitle any Participant to exercise voting rights or any other rights attaching to the ownership of Common Shares, nor shall any Participant be considered the owner of Common Shares by virtue of
his or her ownership of Share Units or Dividend Share Units. 
  

	6.9	Other Employee Benefits 

 The amount of any compensation deemed to be received by a Participant as a
result of the redemption of any Share Unit will not constitute compensation with respect to which any other employee benefits of that Participant are determined, including, without limitation, benefits under any bonus, pension, profit-sharing,
insurance or salary continuation plan, except as otherwise specifically determined by the Committee. 
  

	6.10	Tax Consequences 

 It is the responsibility of the Participant to complete and file any tax returns
which may be required under Canadian, U.S. or other applicable jurisdiction’s tax laws within the periods specified in those laws as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan. No Participating Company shall be held
responsible for any tax consequences to a Participant as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan. 
  

	6.11	No Liability 

 No Participating Company shall be liable to any Participant for any loss resulting from a
decline in the market value of any Common Shares. 
  

	6.12	Necessary Approvals 

 The obligation of the Corporation to issue and to deliver any Common Shares in
accordance with this Plan is subject to any necessary or desirable approval of any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the securities of the Corporation. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan, no Share Units shall be redeemed for
Common Shares if such redemption would constitute a violation by the Participant or the Corporation of any provision of any law or regulation.

Tailored Brands, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to the undersigned employee of the Company (the “Employee”) the following Performance Units Award (“Performance Units”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Tailored Brands, Inc. 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), and this Performance Unit Award Agreement (this “Award Agreement”).

 

	
1. Name of Employee:
    	
 [ · ] 
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
2. Grant Date:
    	
 [ · ],   20[ · ] (the “Grant Date”)
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
3. Performance Period:
    	
The period commencing   on [ · ],   20[ · ] and ending on [ · ],   20[ · ] (the “Performance Period”)
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
4.   Performance Units Granted:
    	
[ · ]
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
5. Vesting:
    	
Except as otherwise   provided in this Award Agreement, the Performance Units will vest only if and   to the extent that: (a) the Compensation Committee determines that the   Performance Goals set forth in Section 6 of this Award Agreement (the   “Performance Goals”) have been satisfied; and (b) the Employee is   employed with the Company or any Affiliate on the last day of the applicable   time-vesting period set forth in Section 7 of this Award Agreement.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
6. Performance Goals:
    	
The Performance Goal   applicable to the Performance Units granted to the Employee pursuant to this   Award Agreement shall be Core EPS, as defined in Exhibit A attached   hereto and made a part of this Award Agreement.

 

At the end of the Performance   Period, if Core EPS is less than $[ · ],   the Performance Units awarded under this Award Agreement shall be forfeited   and no longer considered outstanding or to be held by the Employee as of the   close of business on the date on which the Compensation Committee certifies   that Core EPS is less than $[ · ]. If Core   EPS is equal to or greater than $[ · ],   the number of Performance Units awarded under this Award Agreement shall be   multiplied by a percentage based upon the actual Core EPS as indicated on   Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part of this Award Agreement. The   resulting number from this calculation shall be the number of “Adjusted   Performance Units” that shall remain outstanding and 
    

 

 

	
 
    	
held by the Employee,   subject to the time-vesting requirements of Section 7 of this Award   Agreement.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
7.   Time-Vesting Requirements:
    	
Except as otherwise   provided in this Award Agreement, any Adjusted Performance Units that remain   outstanding at the end of the Performance Period pursuant to the provisions   of Section 6 of this Award Agreement will vest to the extent that the   Employee satisfies the requirements of this Section 7. If the Employee   is employed by the Company or any Affiliate on [ · ],   20[ · ] (the “Vesting Date”), then 100% of the   Adjusted Performance Units will become vested. 
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
8. Settlement:
    	
Except as otherwise   provided herein, at the time that any of the Performance Units or Adjusted   Performance Units vest pursuant to Section 7 or any other section of   this Award Agreement, the Employee (or, in the event of the Employee’s death,   the Employee’s beneficiary) will receive one (1) share of Stock for each   Performance Unit or Adjusted Performance Unit that vests. Performance Units   or Adjusted Performance Units settled under this Award Agreement are intended   to be exempt from Section 409A under the exemption for short term   deferrals. Accordingly, Performance Units or Adjusted Performance Units will   be settled in shares of Stock no later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of   the fiscal year of the Company (or if later the calendar year) in which the   Performance Units or Adjusted Performance Units vest.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
9.   Dividend Equivalent Payments:
    	
If, during the period   beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the date on which any Performance   Units or Adjusted Performance Units are to be settled pursuant to   Section 8 of this Award Agreement (the “Applicable Dividend Period”),   the Company pays any dividends in cash with respect to the outstanding shares   of Stock (a “Cash Dividend”), then, upon the settlement of vested Performance   Units or Adjusted Performance Units, the Employee shall also be entitled to   receive a cash payment in an amount equal to the product of (a) the   number of shares of Stock to be issued upon such settlement of the   Performance Units or Adjusted Performance Units; and (b) the aggregate   amount of the Cash Dividends paid per share of Stock during the Applicable   Dividend Period (the “Dividend Equivalents”). Such Dividend Equivalents will   be payable by the Company at the same time as the Performance Units or   Adjusted Performance Units to which they relate are settled pursuant to   Section 8 of this Award Agreement.

 

If during the   Applicable Dividend Period the Company pays any dividends in shares of Stock   with respect to the outstanding shares of Stock, then, the Company will   increase the number of 
    

 

2

 

	
 
    	
Performance Units   granted hereunder by an amount equal to the product of (a) the number of   shares of Stock to be issued in exchange for the then outstanding Performance   Units; and (b) the number of shares of Stock paid by the Company per   share of Stock (collectively, the “Stock Dividend Performance Units”). Each   Stock Dividend Performance Unit will be subject to the same terms and   conditions applicable to the Performance Unit for which such Stock Dividend   Performance Unit was awarded (including the calculation described in   Section 6) and will be settled at the same time and on the same basis as   such Performance Unit.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
10. Retirement:
    	
If the Employee’s   employment with the Company or any Affiliate terminates by reason of the   Employee’s Retirement before the Vesting Date; provided, that, the Employee   does not “compete with the business of the Company and its subsidiaries” (as   defined in Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part of this Award   Agreement) through such date, the Adjusted Performance Units, as calculated   under Section 6 of this Award Agreement, shall become vested as of the   Vesting Date. Any Adjusted Performance Units that vest pursuant to the provisions   of this Section 10 will be settled at the time and in the manner   described in Section 8 of this Award Agreement.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
11. Death or   Disability:

Any   Adjusted Performance Units that vest pursuant to the provisions of this   Section 11 will be settled at the time and in the manner described in   Section 8 of this Award Agreement.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
12. Termination of Employment for any Reason other   than Retirement, Death or Disability:
    	
Except as otherwise   provided in this Award Agreement, if the Employee’s employment with the   Company or any Affiliate terminates for any reason other than the Employee’s   Retirement, death or Disability before the date of settlement of an Adjusted   Performance Unit under Section 8 of this Award Agreement, then all then   unvested Adjusted Performance Units granted under this Award Agreement will   be forfeited as of the date of the Employee’s termination of employment.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
13. Change in Control:
    	
In the event of a   Change in Control, if the Employee is eligible to participate in the Change   in Control Plan, the provisions of
    

 

3

 

	
 
    	
Exhibit D which is   attached hereto and made a part of this Award Agreement will apply with   respect to any outstanding Performance Units or Adjusted Performance Units.

15. Shareholder Rights:
    	
Except as otherwise   provided in this Award Agreement, the Employee shall have none of the rights   of a shareholder with respect to the shares of Stock underlying the   Performance Units or any Adjusted Performance Units, until the Employee   becomes the recordholder of the shares of Stock underlying the Performance   Units or Adjusted Performance Units.

For purposes of this Award Agreement, the term “Core EPS” shall have the following meaning:

 

“Core EPS” shall mean diluted net earnings per share of Stock allocated to common shareholders for the fiscal year ending [ · ], 20[ · ], (the “[ · ] Fiscal Year”), calculated pursuant to the formula [(a) - (b) - (c)] * [1 – (d)] ÷ (e), where (a) equals, for the Fiscal Year, the Company’s earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”); (b) equals, for the Fiscal Year, the sum of EBIT from the operations of (i) Corporate Apparel and (ii) MW Cleaners; (c) equals, for the Fiscal Year, the Company’s net interest expense; (d) equals, for the Fiscal Year, the Company’s effective tax rate; and (e) equals diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the Fiscal Year.  In determining diluted net earnings per share of Stock allocated to common shareholders for the [ · ] Fiscal Year, the diluted weighted-average shares outstanding used in such determination shall not be reduced for any shares of Stock repurchased by the Company during the period from the Grant Date through the last day of the [ · ] Fiscal Year under any share repurchase authorization by the Board.
