HANESBRANDS INC.
SUPPLEMENTAL EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLAN

(Effective as of January 1, 2006)

SECTION 1

Introduction

1.1 Purpose

     The Hanesbrands Inc. Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) is maintained by the Corporation to provide retirement benefits that are otherwise limited under the Retirement Savings Plan. In addition, the accrued benefits of any Transferred Participant shall be transferred from the Sara Lee SERP to the Plan as of the Effective Date. On and after the Effective Date, all benefits previously accrued by Transferred Participants under the Sara Lee SERP shall be provided under the Plan, and Transferred Participants shall accrue no additional benefits under the Sara Lee SERP.

     The Plan shall constitute a top hat plan within the meaning of Section 201(2) of ERISA. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Plan is subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and at all times shall be interpreted and administered so that it is consistent with such Code section; provided, however, that the vested benefits of each Transferred Participant who terminated employment with Sara Lee Corporation and all of its Controlled Group Members prior to January 1, 2005 shall be determined in accordance with Subsection 1.6 (and shall not be subject to Code Section 409A), except as otherwise provided in Subsection 3.3.

1.2 Effective Date and Plan Year

     The Plan is effective as of January 1, 2006. The Plan is administered on the basis of a Plan Year.

 


 

1.3 Employers

     The Corporation and each other Controlled Group Member that is a participating employer under the Retirement Savings Plan shall be deemed to have adopted the Plan and shall be treated as an Employer hereunder.

1.4 Plan Administration

     As described in Subsection 5.1, the Committee shall be the administrator (as defined in Section 3(16)(A) of ERISA) of the Plan; provided, however, that the Committee may delegate all or any part of its powers, rights, and duties under the Plan to such person or persons as it may deem advisable.

1.5 Plan Supplements

     The provisions of the Plan may be modified by supplements to the Plan. The terms and provisions of each supplement are a part of the Plan and supersede the other provisions of the Plan to the extent necessary to eliminate inconsistencies between such other Plan provisions and such supplement.

1.6 Plan Benefits for Participants who Terminated Employment

     The benefits provided under the Plan with respect to any Participant whose employment with the Employers has terminated shall, except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, be governed in all respects by the terms of the Plan in effect as of the date of the Participant’s termination of employment (or in the case of a Transferred Participant who Separated from Service prior to the Effective Date, pursuant to the Sara Lee SERP).
