HARTMARX CORPORATION
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of the Hartmarx Deferred Compensation Plan is to provide a means whereby Hartmarx may afford
certain employees and senior management with an opportunity to build additional financial security, by providing a
vehicle to defer Salary and Bonus amounts. Deferrals of Salary and Bonus will be credited with interest based on
the Company's incremental short- term borrowing cost, in accordance with the Plan, and paid to the Participant
(or his or her Beneficiary) as described herein. By providing a means whereby Salary and Bonus may be
deferred into the future, the Plan will aid in attracting and retaining managers of exceptional ability, provide them
with additional financial security at the time of Retirement and supplement other Company-sponsored benefits in
the event of death or Disability.
II. DEFINITIONS
2.1 "Administration Committee" means the Plan Administration Committee appointed pursuant to Article VI to
manage and administer the Plan.

benefits in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and Agreement. Subject to the limitations of
