As previously announced on October 9, 2007, the Board of Directors of Oxford Industries, Inc.

In order to effect the change in the Companys fiscal year end, on October 9, 2007, the Company
entered into the Fourth Amendment and Consent to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the
Amendment) among the Company, certain of its domestic subsidiaries, SunTrust Bank,

which amends the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated July 28, 2004, as amended (the
Credit Agreement), among such parties. Pursuant to the Amendment, SunTrust Bank and
the various financial institution lenders and issuing banks have consented to the Companys
changes in its fiscal year end and the parties thereto have further agreed to amend the Credit
Agreement in certain respects, including the following items: (i) the minimum consolidated fixed
charge coverage ratio as of the end of each subsequent quarter end during the term of the Credit
Agreement (measured for the four quarterly periods preceding such measurement date) that is
required to be maintained under the Credit Agreement has been reduced to 1.10:1.00; and (ii)
commencing with the Companys fiscal year which will commence on February 3, 2008, the Company
will be subject to an increased limit of $40,000,000 on the amount of capital expenditures the
Company, on a consolidated basis, will be permitted to make during any fiscal year, provided
that the Company will continue to be permitted to carry over any unused amount (subject to a
$10,000,000 cap) into the following fiscal year.
The preceding is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is incorporated
by reference herein and made a part hereof and is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as
Exhibit 10.1.

Section 8. Nominations of Directors. Subject to the rights of holders of any class or
series of capital stock of the Company then outstanding and except for filling vacancies on the
Board of Directors in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation, nominations for the election
of Directors may be made by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors then in office or
by any stockholder of record entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors. However, any
stockholder of record entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors may nominate one or

intent to make such nomination or nominations has been given, either by personal delivery or by
first class United States mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary of the Company not less than 90
days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date on which the Company first
mailed its proxy materials for the preceding years annual meeting of stockholders; provided,
however, that if the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than thirty (30) days prior to or

notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not later than the close of business on

notice to the Secretary under this Section shall set forth: (i) the name and address of record of
the stockholder who intends to make the nomination; (ii) a representation that the stockholder is a
holder of record of shares of the Companys capital stock entitled to vote at such meeting and
intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified

the stockholder; (vi) such other information regarding each proposed nominee as would be required
to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission; and (vii) the written consent of each proposed nominee to serve as a Director
if so elected. The Company may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as
may reasonably be required by the Company to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to
serve as a Director. The presiding officer of the meeting may, if the facts warrant, determine that
a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed in these Bylaws or is
otherwise not in accordance with law, and if it is so determined, such officer shall so declare at
the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

elected at such meeting, the Directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the shares
represented in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of
Directors. For purposes of this Section, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of
shares voted for a Director must exceed the number of votes cast against that Director. If a

2. Consent to Fiscal Year Change. The Lenders hereby consent to the Fiscal Year Change and
waive compliance with Section 8.7 of the Credit Agreement and any other provision of the Loan
Documents, only to the extent necessary to avoid a Default as a result of the Fiscal Year Change.
3. No Other Amendment or Waiver. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this
Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided above, operate as a waiver of any right, power or
remedy of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or Issuing Banks under the Credit Agreement or any

any of the other Loan Documents. Except for the amendments and consents set forth above, the text
of the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged and in full force and
effect and each Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms its obligations thereunder.
This Amendment shall not constitute a modification of the Credit Agreement or a course of dealing
with the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks at variance with the Credit
Agreement such as to require further notice by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing
Banks to require strict compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents in the future. Nothing in this Amendment is intended, or shall be construed, to
constitute a novation or an accord and satisfaction of any of the Obligations or to modify, affect
or impair the perfection or continuity of the Administrative Agents or the Lenders security
interests in, security titles to, or other Liens on, any Collateral for the Obligations.
4. Conditions on Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date

(c) an amendment fee, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, in an amount equal to $140,000;
and
(d) such other information, documents, instruments or approvals as the Administrative Agent
may require.
5. Representations and Warranties of Borrower Parties. Each Borrower Party represents
and warrants as follows:
(a) Such Borrower Party is a corporation or limited liability company duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or
organization;
(b) The execution, delivery and performance by such Borrower Party of this Amendment and the
Loan Documents, as amended hereby, are within such Borrower Partys legal powers, have been duly
authorized by all necessary company action and do not contravene (i) such Borrower Partys
organizational documents, or (ii) law or contractual restrictions binding on or affecting such
Borrower Party;
(c) No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any
governmental authority or regulatory body, is required for the due execution, delivery and
performance by such Borrower Party of this Amendment or any of the Loan Documents, as amended
hereby, to which such Borrower Party is or will be a party;
(d) This Amendment and each of the other Loan Documents, as amended hereby, to which such
Borrower Party is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Borrower Party,
enforceable against such Borrower Party in accordance with their respective terms; and
(e) No Default or Event of Default exists.
6. Reference to and Effect on the Loan Documents. Upon the effectiveness of this
Amendment, on and after the date hereof each reference in the Credit Agreement to this Agreement,
hereunder, hereof or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference
in the other Loan Documents to the Credit Agreement, thereunder, thereof or words of like
import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as
amended hereby.
7. Costs, Expenses and Taxes. Borrowers agree to pay on demand all out-of-pocket expenses
of the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery
of this Amendment, including, but not limited to, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
for the Administrative Agent.
8. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the
laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof, except to
the extent otherwise provided in the Loan Documents.
9. Loan Document. This Amendment shall be deemed to be a Loan Document for all purposes.
10. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such separate counterparts shall together
constitute but one and the same instrument. In proving this Amendment in any judicial proceeding,
it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the
party against whom enforcement is sought. Any signatures delivered by a party by facsimile
transmission or by e-mail transmission shall be deemed an original signature hereto.
