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.

Automatic Deferral Election
. Notwithstanding Subparagraph (a) above, each Participant as
of January 1, 2008 who has not previously made an affirmative
election under the Plan and each individual who becomes an Eligible
Employee on or after January 1, 2008 will be deemed to have
automatically elected to have four percent (4%) of his or her
Compensation contributed to the Plan as Before-Tax Contributions
beginning on January 1, 2008 or as soon as administratively
possible after the Eligible Employee becomes a Participant under
Subparagraph 3.01(a), if later. Each such Participant’s
deferral percentage shall increase automatically by one percent
(1%) each Plan Year thereafter, up to six percent (6%) of
Compensation; provided, however, that the automatic deferral
percentage for an Eligible Employee who becomes a Participant
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 determined by the Company each year in its discretion,
which amount shall not be in excess of 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.
Annual
Company Contributions under this Subsection 5.02 to be made for
Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2008 shall be funded in
either cash or shares of Hanesbrands Stock (which may be shares
purchased in the open market or authorized-but-unissued shares), as
determined by the Committee. If shares of Hanesbrands Stock are
contributed, they shall be valued for allocation purposes at their
Fair Market Value as of the date of allocation. The Annual Company
Contributions under this Subsection 5.02 shall be immediately
invested in accordance with the Participant’s current
investment election. 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 the end of each quarter (or on a more frequent basis as
determined by the Employers), the Employers will make a 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 since the last Employer
Matching Contribution that do not exceed four percent (4%) of the
Participant’s 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 on a quarterly (or more frequent) basis.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(c)
|
|
Matching Contributions for Plan Years beginning in 2009 shall be
made in either cash or shares of Hanesbrands Stock (which may be
shares purchased in the open market or authorized-but-unissued
shares), as determined by the Committee. If shares of Hanesbrands
Stock are contributed, they shall be valued for allocation purposes
at their Fair Market Value as of the date of allocation. The
Matching Contributions under this Subsection 5.03 shall be
immediately invested in accordance with the Participant’s
current investment election.
|
5.04
Transition Contribution
Subject
to the conditions and limitations of the Plan, solely for the Plan
Year ending on December 31, 2006, for any Participant who, on
January 1, 2006:
|

|
|
Was an exempt or non-exempt salaried employee of Sara Lee
Corporation’s Branded Apparel division; and
|
|
|
|
|
|

(b)
|
|
Had attained age fifty (50) and completed ten (10) Years

|
who is
not eligible for a transition credit allocation under the
Hanesbrands Inc. Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (the
“SERP”) (other than the salaried employee transition
credit set forth in 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 quarter (or on a more frequent
basis as determined by the Employers) based on the matchable
Before-Tax Contributions that have been posted to the
Participant’s Accounts for such 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, the Matching Contribution under
Subparagraph 5.03(a) 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:
|
29
|
|
(i)
|
|
The payment is regular compensation for services during the
Participant’s regular working hours, or compensation for
services outside the Participant’s regular working hours
(such as overtime or shift differential), commissions, bonuses, or
other similar payments, and absent a severance from employment, the
payments would have been paid to the Participant while the
Participant continued in employment with the Employers;
or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
The payment is for unused accrued bona fide sick, vacation or other
leave that the Participant would have been able to use if
employment had continued.
|
Any
payment not described above shall not be considered compensation if
paid
|
