HANESBRANDS
INC.
SUPPLEMENTAL EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLAN
(Effective
as of January 1, 2006)
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

The
Plan is effective as of January 1, 2006. The Plan is

deemed to have adopted the Plan and shall be treated as an Employer
hereunder.
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.
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).
