HANESBRANDS
INC.
RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
(Effective as of July 24,
2006)
1.01
Background; Purpose of Plan
The purpose of the
Plan is to permit Eligible Employees of Hanesbrands Inc. (the
“Company”) and the other Employers to accumulate their
retirement savings on a tax-favored basis. A portion of the Plan
(that portion of the Plan invested in the Sara Lee Corporation
Common Stock Fund prior to the Spin-Off date and that portion of
the Plan invested in the Hanesbrands Inc. Common Stock Fund
thereafter) is designed to invest primarily in qualifying employer
securities and is intended to satisfy the requirements of an
employee stock ownership plan (as defined in
Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code) (the ESOP component); up to
100% of Plan assets may be invested in qualifying employer
securities. The remaining portion of the Plan is a profit sharing
plan intended to satisfy all requirements of Section 401(a) of the
Code and includes a cash or deferred arrangement intended to
satisfy the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Code (the 401(k)
component). For each Plan Year, the 401(k) component shall include
all of a Participant’s Before-Tax Contributions, the
Employers’ Matching Contributions, the Additional Company
Contribution and, for the 2006 Plan Year, the Transition
Contribution allocable to the Participant with respect to that Plan
Year, for all purposes of the Plan.
As of the
Effective Date, the benefits of each Transferred Participant shall
be transferred from the Sara Lee Plan, and continued in the form
of, the Plan. As soon as administratively practicable on or after
the Effective Date, (i) liabilities equal to the aggregate
Account balances, as adjusted through the Effective Date, of each
Transferred Participant shall be transferred from the Sara Lee Plan
to the Plan and credited to the appropriate Plan accounts of each
Transferred Participant and subject to the terms and conditions of
the Plan, and (ii) the assets of the trust funding the Sara
Lee Plan attributable to Transfer Participants’ benefits
shall be transferred (in kind) to the Trustee of the Trust. The
transfer of the Transferred Participants’ benefits from the
Sara Lee Plan into the Plan and the transfer of assets to the Trust
shall comply with Sections 401(a)(12), 411(d)(6), and 414(l)
of the Code and the regulations thereunder.
After the
Effective Date, if a Transferred Participant becomes entitled to an
additional allocation under the Sara Lee Plan, then assets and
liabilities equal to the additional amount so allocable shall be
transferred from the Sara Lee Plan to the Plan as soon as
administratively practicable after the allocable amount has been
determined and shall be invested pursuant to the Transferred
Participant’s current investment elections. In addition, if a
Transferred Participant transfers to employment with an Employer
after the Effective Date but before the Spin-Off Date, then assets
and liabilities equal to the Transferred Participant’s
account balance in the Sara Lee Plan shall be transferred to the
Plan and invested in accordance with the Transferred
Participant’s current investment elections. The transfers
described in this paragraph shall comply with Sections 401(a)(12),
411(d)(6) and 414(l) of the Code and the regulations
thereunder.

during the last three months of a Plan Year shall not increase
until the beginning of the second Plan Year following his or her
participation date; and further provided that automatic increases
under this Subparagraph shall not apply once a Participant has made
an affirmative election to change his or her deferral percentage,
including an affirmative election to cease all deferrals. Prior to
the date an automatic deferral election is effective, the Committee
shall provide the Eligible Employee with a notice that explains the
automatic deferral feature, the Eligible Employee’s right to
elect not to have his or her Compensation automatically reduced and
contributed to the Plan or to have another percentage contributed,
and the procedure for making an alternate election. An automatic
deferral election shall be treated for all purposes of the Plan as
a voluntary deferral election.

|
|
|
|
|

(c)
|
|
Reduction of Compensation
. Before-Tax
Contributions shall be made by a reduction of such items of the
Participant’s Compensation as each Employer shall determine
(on a uniform basis) for each payroll period by the applicable
percentage (not to exceed the maximum percentage determined by the
Committee for any payroll period). The amount deferred by a
Participant will be withheld
|
20
|
|
|
|
from the Participant’s
Compensation and contributed to the Plan on the Participant’s
behalf by the Participant’s Employer in accordance with
Subsection 5.01.
|
4.02
Catch-Up Contributions
A Participant who
has attained age fifty (50) years (or will attain age fifty
(50) years by the end of the Plan Year) may elect to defer an
additional amount of Compensation as Before-Tax Contributions for
such Plan Year in accordance with and subject to the limitations of
Section 414(v) of the Code (“Catch-Up Contributions”).
Before-Tax Contributions shall not include Catch-Up Contributions
for purposes of implementing the required limitations of Code
Sections 401(k), 402(g), and 415 contained in Subsections
6.01, 6.03, and 6.05, respectively.
Each Participant
who has made an election for any Plan Year pursuant to Subsection
4.01 or 4.02 (if applicable) may subsequently make an election to
discontinue the deferral of his or her Compensation (but not
retroactively) as of the beginning of any payroll period. If a
Participant discontinues his or her deferrals, he or she may
subsequently elect under Subsection 4.01 or 4.02 (if applicable) to
have a deferral resumed as of any subsequent payroll period. A
Participant also may elect to change (but not retroactively) the
rate of his or her Tax-Deferred Contributions and the amount of his
or her Catch-Up Contributions (if applicable) as of the beginning
of any payroll period, within the limits specified in Subsection
4.01 and 4.02 (if applicable). Elections under this Subsection
shall be made in such manner and in accordance with such rules as
the Committee determines. If the Committee in its discretion
determines that elections under this Subsection shall be made in a
manner other than in writing, any Participant who makes an election
pursuant to such method may receive written confirmation of such
election; further, any such election and confirmation will be the
equivalent of a writing for all purposes.
4.04 Direct
Transfers and Rollovers
The Committee in
its discretion may direct the Trustee to accept:
|
|
(a)
|
|
From a trustee or insurance company
a direct transfer (or an Eligible Rollover Distribution) of a
Participant’s benefit (or portion thereof) under any other
Eligible Retirement Plan;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
From a Participant as a Rollover
Contribution an amount (or portion thereof) received by the
Participant as an Eligible Rollover Distribution from another
Eligible Retirement Plan; or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(c)
|
|
From a Participant as a Rollover
Contribution the entire amount received by the Participant as a
distribution from an individual retirement account or an individual
retirement annuity where such amount is attributable to a rollover
contribution of a qualified total distribution pursuant to
Section 408(d)(3)(A) of the Code;
|
21
|
|
|
|
provided, however, that any such
Rollover Contribution made by a Participant shall be in cash only
and comply with the provisions of the Code and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to tax-free rollovers and shall
be exclusive of after-tax employee contributions. If after a
Rollover Contribution has been made the Committee learns that such
contribution did not meet those provisions, the Committee may
direct the Trustee to make a distribution to the Participant of the
entire amount of the Rollover Contribution received. Any amount so
transferred or contributed to the Trustee will be credited to the
Account of the Participant as determined by the Committee. If any
portion of a Participant’s benefits under the Plan is
attributable to amounts which were transferred to the Plan,
directly or indirectly (but not in a direct rollover as defined in
Section 401(a)(31) of the Code), from a Plan which is subject to
the requirements of Section 401(a)(11) of the Code, then the
provisions of said Section 401(a)(11) shall apply to the
benefits of such Participant. The Committee in its discretion may
direct the Trustee to transfer Account balances of a group or class
of Participants, by means of a trust-to-trust transfer, to the
trustee (or insurance company) of any other individual account,
profit sharing or stock bonus plan intended to meet the
requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code.
|
22
5.01
Before-Tax Contributions
Subject to the
limitations of this SECTION 5, the Employers will contribute to the
Trustee on behalf of each Participant the amount of such
Participant’s Before-Tax Contributions under Subsection 4.01.
Such Before-Tax Contributions shall be paid to the Trustee as soon
as practicable after being withheld, but no later than the
fifteenth (15th) business day of the next following month, and
allocated to Participants’ Current Year Before-Tax
Contribution Subaccounts.
5.02 Annual
Company Contribution
For that portion
of the first Plan Year that follows the Spin-Off Date and for each
Plan Year thereafter, the Employers shall contribute to the Plan as
follows:
|
|
(a)
|
|
For
Participants who are exempt and non-exempt salaried employees, an
amount equal to four percent (4%) of such Participants’
Compensation for that portion of the Plan Year during which he or
she was a salaried employee and a Participant in the
Plan.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
For
Participants who are hourly, non-union employees or are New
York-based sample department union Employees, an amount determined
by the Company each year in its discretion, which amount shall not
be in excess of two percent (2%) of such Participants’
Compensation for that portion of the Plan Year during which he or
she was an hourly employee and a Participant in the
Plan.
|
For 2006, the
Employers shall make an additional contribution on behalf of each
Participant who is an exempt or non-exempt salaried employee. Such
contribution shall equal two percent (2%) of the
Participant’s Compensation for that portion of the period
beginning on January 1, 2006 (or the date the Participant was
transferred to employment with Hanesbrands Inc. or a Sara Lee
Corporation division listed on Exhibit A, if later) and ending
on the Spin-Off Date during which the Participant was a salaried
employee; provided that no contribution shall be made with respect
to any period during which the employee was not a participant in
the Plan or the Sara Lee Plan. For purposes of determining the
amount of a Participant’s contributions under this Subsection
5.02 for 2006, the Code Section 401(a)(17)(B) limit shall be
applied to the sum of the Participant’s Compensation paid
from the Company and the Sara Lee Corporation during that
year.
The Annual Company
Contributions under this Subsection 5.02 shall be funded in cash
and shall be invested in accordance with a Participant’s
investment elections. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participants
shall be eligible to receive a contribution under this Subsection
only if they are employed with the Employer on the last day of the
Plan Year (and for this purpose, any Participant who is employed on
the last business day of the Plan Year shall be considered to
be
23
employed on the
last day of the Plan Year), or if their employment ended during the
Plan Year as a result of retirement (Separation Date after age
fifty-five (55) with ten (10) Years of Service, or after
age sixty-five (65)), death or Total Disability.
5.03
Matching Contributions
|
|
(a)
|
|
As
of each payroll date, the Employers will make a monthly Matching
Contribution on behalf of each Participant equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of the Participant’s Before-Tax Contributions
(including Catch-Up Contributions) made on such payroll date that
do not exceed four percent (4%) of Compensation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
As
of the end of each Plan Year, a ‘true up’ Matching
Contribution for each Participant who did not receive the full
Matching Contribution under Subparagraph (a) for the Plan Year
based on the amount of his or her Before-Tax Contributions
(including Catch-Up Contributions) for such Plan Year. Such true up
Matching Contribution will be equal to the difference between the
Matching Contribution actually made on behalf of such Participant
for the Plan Year under Subparagraph (a), and the full Matching
Contribution that the Participant would have been entitled to
receive under Subparagraph (a) for the Plan Year if such
Matching Contributions were determined as of the end of the Plan
Year instead of each payroll period.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(c)
|
|
Matching Contributions shall be made
in cash and will be invested in accordance with each
Participant’s current investment election.
|

Corporation’s Branded Apparel division; and
|
|
|
|
|
|

Subsection 2.32 of the SERP); the Employers shall contribute, in
cash, to the Annual Company Contribution Account of such
Participant an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of such eligible
Participant’s Compensation for calendar year 2006 (including
Compensation paid prior to the Effective Date); provided, however,
that Participants shall be eligible to receive a contribution under
this Subsection only if they are employed on the last business day
of the Plan Year(and for this purpose, any Participant who is
employed on the last business day of the Plan Year shall be
considered to be employed on the last day of the Plan Year), or if
their employment ended during the Plan Year as a result of
retirement (Separation Date after age fifty-five (55) with ten
(10) Years of Service, or after age sixty-five (65)), death or
Total Disability.
24
5.05
Allocation of Annual Company Contribution
The amount of the
contribution made by the Employers for each Plan Year pursuant to
Subsection 5.02 for each eligible Participant in the amounts
specified in Subparagraph 5.02(a) or 5.02(b) as the case may be,
shall be allocated to each such Participant’s Annual Company
Contribution Account as of the last day of the Plan
Year.
5.06 Payment
of Matching Contributions
Matching
Contributions under Subparagraph 5.03(a) of the Plan for any Plan
Year shall be made each calendar month based on the matchable
Before-Tax Contributions that have been posted to the
Participant’s Accounts for each payroll period. Matching
Contributions under Subparagraph 5.03(b) of the Plan for any Plan
Year shall be made as soon as practicable after the end of the Plan
Year.
5.07
Allocation of Matching Contributions
Subject to
Subsections 6.02 and 6.05, as of the end of each calendar month (or
as soon as administratively practicable thereafter), the Matching
Contribution under Subparagraph 5.03(a) for each payroll period
shall be allocated and credited to the Current Year Matching
Contribution Subaccounts of those Participants entitled to share in
such Matching Contributions, pro rata, according to the matchable
Before-Tax Contributions made by them, respectively, during that
period and posted to the Participants’ Current Year
Before-Tax Contribution Subaccount as of such Accounting Date.
Matching Contributions under Subparagraph 5.03(b) of the Plan for
any Plan Year shall be similarly allocated and credited as soon as
practicable after the end of the Plan Year.
5.08 Payment
of Employer Contributions
In no event shall
any Employer Contribution required to be made to the Plan for any
Plan Year under this SECTION 5 be contributed later than the time
prescribed by law for filing the Employer’s federal income
tax return for such year, including extensions thereof.
5.09
Limitations on Employer Contributions
The
Employers’ total contribution for a Plan Year is conditioned
on its deductibility under Section 404 of the Code in that
year, and shall comply with the contribution limitations set forth
in Subsection 6.05 and the allocation limitations contained in
Subsections 6.01 and 5.04 of the Plan, and shall not exceed an
amount equal to the maximum amount deductible on account thereof by
the Employers for that year for purposes of federal taxes on
income.
5.10
Verification of Employer Contributions
If for any reason
the Employer decides to verify the correctness of any amount or
calculation relating to its contribution for any Plan Year, the
certificate of an independent
25
accountant
selected by the Employer as to the correctness of any such amount
or calculation shall be conclusive on all persons.
26
6.01 Actual
Deferral Percentage Limitations
In no event shall
the Actual Deferral Percentage of the Highly Compensated Employees
for any Plan Year exceed the greater of the:
|
|
(a)
|
|
Actual Deferral Percentage of all
other Eligible Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by 1.25;
or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
Actual Deferral Percentage of all
other Eligible Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by 2.0;
provided that the Actual Deferral Percentage of the Highly
Compensated Employees does not exceed that of all other Eligible
Employees by more than two (2) percentage points.
|
From time to time
during the Plan Year, the Committee shall determine whether the
limitation of this Subsection will be satisfied and, to the extent
necessary to ensure compliance with such limitation, may limit the
Before-Tax Contributions to be withheld on behalf of Highly
Compensated Employees or may refund Before-Tax Contributions
previously withheld. If, at the end of the Plan Year, the
limitation of this Subsection is not satisfied, the Committee shall
refund Before-Tax Contributions previously withheld on behalf of
Highly Compensated Employees. If Before-Tax Contributions made on
behalf of Highly Compensated Employees must be refunded to satisfy
the limitation of this Subsection, the Committee shall determine
the amount of Excess Contributions and shall refund such amount on
the basis of the Highly Compensated Employees’ contribution
amounts, beginning with the highest such contribution amounts.
Excess Contributions previously withheld (and any income allocable
thereto determined in accordance with Subsection 6.04) may be
distributed within two and one-half (2- 1 / 2
) months after the close of the Plan
Year to which such Excess Contributions relate, but in any event no
later than the end of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in
which such Excess Contributions were made. Matching Contributions
attributable to Excess Contributions shall be treated as
Forfeitures under Subsection 10.06. For Plan Years beginning on and
after January 1, 2008, the Plan shall satisfy the
nondiscrimination requirements of Code Section 401(k) in accordance
with the safe harbor method based on Matching Contributions, as
described in Code Section 401(k)(13)(D), and the foregoing
provisions of this Subsection shall be inapplicable.
6.02
Limitation on Matching Contributions
In no event shall
the Contribution Percentage of the Highly Compensated Employees for
any Plan Year exceed the greater of the:
|
|
(a)
|
|
Contribution Percentage of all other
Eligible Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by 1.25;
or
|
27
|
|
(b)
|
|
Contribution Percentage of all other
Eligible Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by two (2.0);
provided that the Contribution Percentage of such Highly
Compensated Employees does not exceed that of all other
Participants by more than two (2) percentage
points.
|
From time to time
during the Plan Year, the Committee shall determine whether the
limitation of this Subsection will be satisfied and, to the extent
necessary to ensure compliance with such limitation, shall refund a
portion of the Matching Contributions previously credited to Highly
Compensated Employees. If Matching Contributions made on behalf of
Highly Compensated Employees must be refunded to satisfy the
limitation of this Subsection, the Committee shall determine the
amount of Excess Matching Contributions and shall refund such
amount on the basis of the Highly Compensated Employees’
contribution amounts, beginning with the highest such contribution
amounts. At the Committee’s discretion, if the Excess
Matching Contributions are attributable to non-vested Matching
Contributions, such Excess Matching Contributions may be forfeited
in accordance with Subsection 10.06 and applied in the same manner
as any other Forfeiture under the Plan. Excess Matching
Contributions previously credited (and any income allocable thereto
determined in accordance with Subsection 6.04) may be distributed
or forfeited within twelve (12) months after the close of the
Plan Year to which such Excess Matching Contributions relate, but
in any event no later than the end of the Plan Year following the
Plan Year in which such Excess Matching Contributions were made.
For Plan Years beginning on and after January 1, 2008, the
Plan shall satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements of Code
Section 401(m) in accordance with the safe harbor method based on
Matching Contributions, as described in Code
Section 401(m)(12), and the foregoing provisions of this
Subsection shall be inapplicable.
Notwithstanding
the provisions of Subsection 6.01, no Participant shall make a
Before-Tax Contribution election which will result in his or her
Elective Deferrals for any calendar year exceeding $15,000 (or such
greater amount as may be prescribed by the Secretary of Treasury to
take into account cost-of-living increases pursuant to Code
Section 402(g)), except to the extent permitted with respect
to Catch-Up Contributions, if applicable. If a Participant’s
total Elective Deferrals under this Plan and any other plan of
another employer for any calendar year exceed the annual dollar
limit prescribed above, the Participant may notify the Committee,
in writing on or before March 1 of the next following calendar
year, of his or her election to have all or a portion of such
Excess Deferrals (and the income allocable thereto determined in
accordance with Subsection 6.04) allocated under this Plan and
distributed in accordance with this Subsection. In such event, or
in the event that the Committee otherwise becomes aware of any
Excess Deferrals, the Committee shall, without regard to any other
provision of the Plan, direct the Trustee to distribute to the
Participant by the following April 15 the Participant’s
Excess Deferrals (and any income attributable thereto determined in
accordance with Subsection 6.04) so allocated under the Plan.
Distributions to be made in accordance with the preceding sentence
shall be made as soon as is practicable following receipt by the
Committee of written notification of Excess Deferrals, and the
Committee shall make every effort to meet the April 15
distribution deadline for all written notifications received by the
preceding March 1.
28
The amount of such
Excess Deferrals distributed to a Participant in accordance with
this Subsection shall be treated as a contribution for purposes of
the limitations referred to under Subsection 6.05, and shall
continue to be treated as Before-Tax Contributions for purposes of
the Actual Deferral Percentage test described in Subsection 6.01;
however, Excess Deferrals by non-Highly Compensated Employees shall
not be taken into account under Subsection 6.01 to the extent such
Excess Deferrals are made under this Plan or any other plan
maintained by an Employer or Controlled Group Member. In addition,
any Matching Contributions attributable to amounts distributed
under this Subsection (and any income allocable thereto determined
in accordance with Subsection 6.04) shall be forfeited in
accordance with Subsection 10.06.
|
6.04
|
|
Allocation of Earnings to
Distributions of Excess Deferrals, Excess Contributions and Excess
Matching Contributions
|
The earnings
allocable to distributions of Excess Deferrals under Subsection
6.03, Excess Contributions under Subsection 6.01, and Excess
Matching Contributions under Subsection 6.02 shall be determined by
multiplying the earnings attributable to the applicable excess
amounts (for the calendar and/or Plan Year, whichever is
applicable) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the applicable
excess amount, and the denominator of which is the balance
attributable to such contributions in the Participant’s
Account or Accounts, as of the beginning of such year, plus the
contributions allocated to the applicable account for such year.
Gap period income ( i.e., income allocable to Excess
Contributions and Excess Matching Contributions for the period
after the close of the Plan Year and prior to the distribution)
shall be allocated as described in Treasury
Regulation Sections 1.401(k)-2(b)(2)(iv) and
1.401(m)-2(b)(iv). Gap period income ( i.e., income
allocable to Excess Deferrals, Excess Contributions and Excess
Matching Contributions for the period after the close of the Plan
Year and prior to the distribution) shall be allocated as described
in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.402(g)-1(e)(5),
1.401(k)-2(b)(2)(iv) and 1.401(m)-2(b)(2)(iv),
respectively.
6.05
Contribution Limitations
For each
Limitation Year, the Annual Addition to a Participant’s
Accounts under the Plan and under any other defined contribution
plan maintained by any Employer shall not exceed the lesser of
$45,000 (as adjusted for cost-of-living increases under Code
Section 415(d)) or 100% of the Participant’s
compensation for the Limitation Year. For purposes of this
Subsection 6.05, “compensation” for a Limitation Year
means a Participant’s compensation within the meaning of Code
Section 415(c)(3) and Treasury Regulations
Section 1.415(c)-2(b) and (c) that is actually paid or
made available during the Limitation Year, subject to the
following:
|
|
(a)
|
|
Compensation shall include elective
amounts that are not includible in the gross income of the
Participant by reason of Code Sections 125, 132(f) and
402(g)(3).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
Compensation for a Limitation Year
shall include compensation paid by the later of 2-1/2 months
after a Participant’s severance from employment with the
Employers or the end of the Limitation Year that includes the date
of the Participant’s severance from employment with the
Employers, if:
