FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, and can generally be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “believe,” “will,” “expect,” “project,” “estimate,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “continue” or similar expressions. In particular, information appearing under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” includes forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements inherently involve many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these statements.
 
Where, in any forward-looking statement, we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is based on the current plans and expectations of our management and expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished. More information on factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated is included from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2010, particularly under the caption “Risk Factors.”
 
All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2010, particularly under the caption “Risk Factors.” We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, other than as required by law.

We file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. You can inspect, read and copy these reports, proxy statements and other information at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. You can obtain information regarding the operation of the SEC’s Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains a website at www.sec.gov that makes available reports, proxy statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically.
 
We make available free of charge at www.hanesbrands.com (in the “Investors” section) copies of materials we file with, or furnish to, the SEC. By referring to our website, www.hanesbrands.com, we do not incorporate our website or its contents into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

HANESBRANDS INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
 
(1)   Basis of Presentation
 
These statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and, in accordance with those rules and regulations, do not include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of Hanesbrands Inc., a Maryland corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Hanesbrands”). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows for the interim periods presented herein. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may vary from these estimates.
 
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.
 
To reflect a change previously made in the classification of freight expenses payable, a revision to the quarter ended April 4, 2009 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows was made to reclassify changes in cash related to these payables from Accounts payable to Accrued liabilities and other. This reclassification had no impact on the Company’s previously reported total net cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities.
 
(2)   Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets
 
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting rules for transfers of financial assets. The new rules require greater transparency and additional disclosures for transfers of financial assets and the entity’s continuing involvement with them and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. The new accounting rules are effective for financial asset transfers occurring after the beginning of the Company’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. The adoption of these new rules did not have a material impact on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
Consolidation — Variable Interest Entities
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting rules related to the accounting and disclosure requirements for the consolidation of variable interest entities. The new accounting rules are effective for the Company’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. The adoption of these new rules did not have a material impact on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
Fair Value Disclosures
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued new accounting rules related to the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The new accounting rules require new disclosures for significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the activity within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The new accounting rules also clarify existing disclosures regarding the level of disaggregation of assets or liabilities and the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value. The new accounting rules are effective for the Company’s first interim fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about

(unaudited)
 
purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of the disclosures effective for the Company’s first interim fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2009 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows but resulted in certain additional disclosures reflected in Note 8.
 
(3)   Earnings Per Share
 
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) was computed by dividing net income by the number of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the quarters ended April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009. Diluted EPS was calculated to give effect to all potentially dilutive shares of common stock using the treasury stock method. The reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted average shares for the quarters ended April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009 is as follows:
 
                 
    Quarter Ended  
    April 3,
    April 4,
 
    2010     2009  
 
Basic weighted average shares
    96,326       94,493  
Effect of potentially dilutive securities:
               
Stock options
    619        
Restricted stock units
    547        
Employee stock purchase plan and other
    1        
                 
Diluted weighted average shares
    97,493       94,493  
                 
 
For the quarters ended April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009, 0 and 1,347 restricted stock units, respectively, and options to purchase 2,898 and 5,930 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Because the Company reported a net loss for the quarter ended April 4, 2009, the restricted stock units and stock options excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share consisted of all outstanding restricted stock units and stock options, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
 
(4)   Inventories
 
Inventories consisted of the following:
 
                 
    April 3,
    January 2,
 
    2010     2010  
 
Raw materials
  $ 110,158     $ 106,138

(5)   Trade Accounts Receivable
 
Allowances for Trade Accounts Receivable
 
The changes in the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts and allowance for chargebacks and other deductions for the quarter ended April 3, 2010 are as follows:
 
                         
          Allowance
       
    Allowance
    for
       
    for
    Chargebacks
       
    Doubtful
    and Other
       
    Accounts     Deductions     Total  
 
Balance at January 2, 2010
  $ 15,502     $ 10,274     $ 25,776  
Charged to expenses
    (107 )     6,026       5,919  
Deductions and write-offs
    (53 )     (893 )     (946 )
                         
Balance at April 3, 2010
  $ 15,342     $ 15,407     $ 30,749  
                         
 
Charges to the allowance for doubtful accounts are reflected in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line and charges to the allowance for customer chargebacks and other customer deductions are primarily reflected as a reduction in the “Net sales” line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Deductions and write-offs, which do not increase or decrease income, represent write-offs of previously reserved accounts receivables and allowed customer chargebacks and deductions against gross accounts receivable.
 
Sales of Accounts Receivable
 
In March 2010, the Company entered into an agreement to sell selected trade accounts receivable to a financial institution. After the sale, the Company does not retain any interests in the receivables and the financial institution services and collects these accounts receivable directly from the customer. Net proceeds of this accounts receivable sale program are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as part of operating cash flows. The funding fees charged for this program are recorded in the “Other expenses” line in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.
 
During the quarter ended April 3, 2010, the Company recognized funding fees of $489 for sales of accounts receivable to financial institutions in the “Other expenses” line in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

On January 29, 2010, in recognition of the lower trade accounts receivable balance resulting from the sale by the Company of certain trade accounts receivable to a financial institution outside the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility, HBI Receivables LLC, the Company’s wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote subsidiary that is a party to such facility, gave notice to the agent and the managing agents under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility that, as permitted by the terms of such facility, effective February 11, 2010, the amount of funding available under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility was being reduced from $250,000 to $150,000. During the quarter ended April 3, 2010, the Company recognized $686 of a write-off on early extinguishment of debt related to unamortized debt issuance costs on the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility as a result of the reduction in borrowing capacity. The Company also recognized $231 in additional charges related to the amendments of credit facilities in 2009 during the quarter ended April 3, 2010. These charges are reflected in the “Other expenses” line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
 
During the quarter ended April 4, 2009, the Company recognized $3,946 of charges in the “Other expenses” line of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income which represents certain costs related to amendments of the senior secured credit facility that the Company entered into in 2006 and the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility.
 
As of April 3, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its credit facilities.
 
(7)   Financial Instruments and Risk Management
 
The Company uses financial instruments to manage its exposures to movements in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. The use of these financial instruments modifies the Company’s exposure to these risks with the goal of reducing the risk or cost to the Company. The Company does not use derivatives for trading purposes and is not a party to leveraged derivative contracts.

The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value is based upon either market quotes for actively traded instruments or independent bids for nonexchange traded instruments. The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including identifying the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process includes linking derivatives that are designated as hedges of specific assets, liabilities, firm commitments or forecasted transactions to the hedged risk. On the date the derivative is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, net investment hedge or a mark to market hedge, and accounts for the derivative in accordance with its designation. The Company also formally assesses, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivatives are highly effective in offsetting changes in either the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. If it is determined that a derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, or if the anticipated transaction is no longer likely to occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting, and any deferred gains or losses are recorded in the respective measurement period. The Company currently does not have any fair value or net investment hedge instruments.
 
The Company may be exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by individual counterparties or the entire group of counterparties to the Company’s derivative contracts. Risk of nonperformance by counterparties is mitigated by dealing with highly rated counterparties and by diversifying across counterparties.
 
Mark to Market Hedges
 
A derivative used as a hedging instrument whose change in fair value is recognized to act as an economic hedge against changes in the values of the hedged item is designated a mark to market hedge.
 
Mark to Market Hedges — Intercompany Foreign Exchange Transactions
 
The Company uses foreign exchange derivative contracts to reduce the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on anticipated intercompany purchase and lending transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign exchange derivative contracts are recorded as mark to market hedges when the hedged item is a recorded asset or liability that is revalued in each accounting period . Mark to market hedge derivatives relating to intercompany foreign exchange contracts are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as cash flow from operating activities. As of April 3, 2010, the U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to purchase and sell foreign currencies in the Company’s foreign currency mark to market hedge derivative portfolio is $23,097 and $53,687, respectively, using the exchange rate at the reporting date.
 
Cash Flow Hedges
 
A hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability is designated as a cash flow hedge. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as a cash flow hedge is recorded in the “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” line of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. When the impact of the hedged item is recognized in the income statement, the gain or loss included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” is reported on the same line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as the hedged item.
 
Cash Flow Hedges — Interest Rate Derivatives
 
The Company has executed in the past certain interest rate cash flow hedges in the form of swaps and caps in order to mitigate the Company’s exposure to variability in cash flows for the future interest payments on a designated portion of floating rate debt. The effective portion of interest rate hedge gains and losses

deferred in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” is reclassified into earnings as the underlying debt interest payments are recognized. Interest rate cash flow hedge derivatives are reported as a component of interest expense and therefore are reported as cash flow from operating activities similar to the manner in which cash interest payments are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
 
The Company is required under the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility to hedge a portion of its floating rate debt to reduce interest rate risk caused by floating rate debt issuance. To comply with this requirement, in the quarter ended April 3, 2010, the Company entered into hedging arrangements whereby it capped the LIBOR interest rate component on an aggregate of $490,735 of the floating rate debt under the Floating Rate Senior Notes at 4.262%. The interest rate cap arrangements, with notional amounts of $240,735 and $250,000, expire in December 2011.
 
Cash Flow Hedges — Foreign Currency Derivatives
 
The Company uses forward exchange and option contracts to reduce the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies on short-term foreign currency-denominated transactions, foreign currency-denominated investments, and other known foreign currency exposures. Gains and losses on these contracts are intended to offset losses and gains on the hedged transaction in an effort to reduce the earnings volatility resulting from fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. The effective portion of foreign exchange hedge gains and losses deferred in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” is reclassified into earnings as the underlying inventory is sold, using historical inventory turnover rates. The settlement of foreign exchange hedge derivative contracts related to the purchase of inventory or other hedged items are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as cash flow from operating activities.
 
Historically, the principal currencies hedged by the Company include the Euro, Mexican peso, Canadian dollar and Japanese yen. Forward exchange contracts mature on the anticipated cash requirement date of the hedged transaction, generally within one year. As of April 3, 2010, the U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to sell foreign currencies in the Company’s foreign currency cash flow hedge derivative portfolio was $49,043, using the exchange rate at the reporting date.
 
Cash Flow Hedges — Commodity Derivatives
 
Cotton is the primary raw material used to manufacture many of the Company’s products and is purchased at market prices. From time to time, the Company uses commodity financial instruments to hedge the price of cotton, for which there is a high correlation between the hedged item and the hedge instrument. Gains and losses on these contracts are intended to offset losses and gains on the hedged transactions in an effort to reduce the earnings volatility resulting from fluctuating commodity prices. The effective portion of commodity hedge gains and losses deferred in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” is reclassified into earnings as the underlying inventory is sold, using historical inventory turnover rates. The settlement of commodity hedge derivative contracts related to the purchase of inventory is reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as cash flow from operating activities. There were no amounts outstanding under cotton futures or cotton option contracts at April 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010.

(8)   Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
 
Fair value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value, is utilized for disclosing the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs about which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
 
As of April 3, 2010, the Company held certain financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These consisted of the Company’s derivative instruments related to interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The Company’s defined benefit pension plan investments are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair values of interest rate derivatives are determined with pricing models using LIBOR interest rate curves, spreads, volatilities, and other relevant information developed using market data and are categorized as Level 2. The fair values of foreign currency derivatives are determined using the cash flows of the foreign exchange contract, discount rates to account for the passage of time and current foreign exchange market data and are categorized as Level 2.
 
There were no changes during the quarter ended April 3, 2010 to the Company’s valuation techniques used to measure asset and liability fair values on a recurring basis. There were no transfers between the three level categories and there were no Level 3 assets or liabilities measured on a quarterly basis during the quarter ended April 3, 2010. As of April 3, 2010, the Company did not have any non-financial assets or liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, notes receivable and accounts payable approximated fair value as of April 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010. The fair value of debt was $1,925,865 and $1,881,868 as of April 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010 and had a carrying value of $1,927,053 and $1,892,235, respectively. The fair values were estimated using quoted market prices as provided in secondary markets which consider the Company’s credit risk and market related conditions. The carrying amounts of the Company’s notes payable approximated fair value as of April 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010, primarily due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

    2010     2009

    1,297       1,271  
                 
Comprehensive income (loss)
  $ 41,050     $ (14,064 )
                 
 
(10)   Income Taxes
 
The Company’s effective income tax rate was 22% for the quarters ended April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009. In the quarter ended April 4, 2009, the Company recorded a tax benefit on a pre-tax loss of $24,779 primarily the result of significant restructuring and related charges.
 
The effective income tax rate of 22% for the quarter ended April 3, 2010 is primarily attributable to a lower proportion of earnings attributed to foreign subsidiaries than in the quarter ended April 4, 2009, which are taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate, offset by a benefit in the quarter ended April 3, 2010 resulting from the finalization of tax reviews and audits for amounts that were less than originally anticipated. The Company’s effective tax rate reflects its strategic initiative to make capital investments outside the United States in its global supply chain in 2010.
 
The Company and Sara Lee Corporation (“Sara Lee”) entered into a tax sharing agreement in connection with the spin off of the Company from Sara Lee on September 5, 2006. Under the tax sharing agreement, within 180 days after Sara Lee filed its final consolidated tax return for the period that included September 5, 2006, Sara Lee was required to deliver to the Company a computation of the amount of deferred taxes attributable to the Company’s United States and Canadian operations that would be included on the Company’s opening balance sheet as of September 6, 2006 (“as finally determined”) which has been done. The Company has the right to participate in the computation of the amount of deferred taxes. Under the tax sharing agreement, if substituting the amount of deferred taxes as finally determined for the amount of estimated deferred taxes that were included on that balance sheet at the time of the spin off causes a decrease in the net book value reflected on that balance sheet, then Sara Lee will be required to pay the Company the amount of such decrease. If such substitution causes an increase in the net book value reflected on that balance sheet, then the Company will be required to pay Sara Lee the amount of such increase. For purposes of this computation, the Company’s deferred taxes are the amount of deferred tax benefits (including deferred tax consequences attributable to deductible temporary differences and carryforwards) that would be recognized as assets on the Company’s balance sheet computed in accordance with GAAP, but without regard to valuation allowances, less the amount of deferred tax liabilities (including deferred tax consequences attributable to taxable temporary differences) that would be recognized as liabilities on the Company’s opening balance sheet computed in accordance with GAAP, but without regard to valuation allowances.

Neither the Company nor Sara Lee will be required to make any other payments to the other with respect to deferred taxes.
 
Based on the Company’s computation of the final amount of deferred taxes for the Company’s opening balance sheet as of September 6, 2006, the amount that is expected to be collected from Sara Lee based on the Company’s computation of $72,223, which reflects a preliminary cash installment received from Sara Lee of $18,000, is included as a receivable in “Deferred tax assets and other current assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of April 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010. The Company and Sara Lee have exchanged information in connection with this matter, but Sara Lee has disagreed with the Company’s computation. In accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of the tax sharing agreement, on August 3, 2009, the Company submitted the dispute to binding arbitration. The arbitration process is ongoing, and the Company will continue to prosecute its claim. The Company does not believe that the resolution of this dispute will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
(11)   Business Segment Information
 
The Company’s operations are managed and reported in five operating segments, each of which is a reportable segment for financial reporting purposes: Innerwear, Outerwear, Hosiery, Direct to Consumer and International. These segments are organized principally by product category, geographic location and distribution channel. Management of each segment is responsible for the operations of these segments’ businesses but shares a common supply chain and media and marketing platforms. In October 2009, the Company completed the sale of its yarn operations and, as a result, the Company no longer has net sales in the Other segment, which was primarily comprised of sales of yarn to third parties.
 
The types of products and services from which each reportable segment derives its revenues are as follows:
 
  •  Innerwear sells basic branded products that are replenishment in nature under the product categories of women’s intimate apparel, men’s underwear, kids’ underwear and socks.
 
  •  Outerwear sells basic branded products that are primarily seasonal in nature under the product categories of casualwear and activewear.
 
  •  Hosiery sells products in categories such as pantyhose, knee highs and tights.
 
  •  Direct to Consumer includes the Company’s value-based (“outlet”) stores and Internet operations which sell products from the Company’s portfolio of leading brands. The Company’s Internet operations are supported by its catalogs.
 
  •  International relates to the Latin America, Asia, Canada, Europe and South America geographic locations which sell products that span across the Innerwear, Outerwear and Hosiery reportable segments.
 
The Company evaluates the operating performance of its segments based upon segment operating profit, which is defined as operating profit before general corporate expenses, amortization of trademarks and other identifiable intangibles and restructuring and related accelerated depreciation charges and inventory write-offs. The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2010.

(iv) Consolidating entries and eliminations representing adjustments to (a) eliminate intercompany transactions between or among Parent Company, the guarantor subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries, (b) eliminate intercompany profit in inventory, (c) eliminate the investments in our subsidiaries and (d) record consolidating entries; and

Each entity in the consolidating financial information follows the same accounting policies as described in the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2010, except for the use by the Parent Company and guarantor subsidiaries of the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership interests in subsidiaries which are eliminated upon consolidation.

(13)   Restructuring
 
The Company has restructured its supply chain over the past three years to create more efficient production clusters that utilize fewer, larger facilities and to balance production capability between the Western Hemisphere and Asia. With its global supply chain infrastructure substantially in place, the Company is now focused on optimizing its supply chain to further enhance efficiency, improve working capital and asset turns and reduce costs. The Company is focused on optimizing the working capital needs of its supply chain through several initiatives, such as supplier-managed inventory for raw materials and sourced goods ownership arrangements. The consolidation of the Company’s distribution network is still in process but is not expected to result in any substantial charges in future periods. The distribution network consolidation involves the implementation of new warehouse management systems and technology, and opening of new distribution centers and new third-party logistics providers to replace parts of the Company’s legacy distribution network.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, or MD&A, contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements and related notes thereto and the other disclosures contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended January 2, 2010, which were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the periods reflected herein are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for future periods, and our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and those included in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
Overview
 
We are a consumer goods company with a portfolio of leading apparel brands, including Hanes, Champion, Playtex, Bali, L’eggs, Just My Size, barely there , Wonderbra, Stedman, Outer Banks, Zorba, Rinbros and Duofold. We design, manufacture, source and sell a broad range of apparel essentials such as T-shirts, bras, panties, men’s underwear, kids’ underwear, casualwear, activewear, socks and hosiery.
 
Our operations are managed and reported in five operating segments, each of which is a reportable segment for financial reporting purposes: Innerwear, Outerwear, Hosiery, Direct to Consumer and International. These segments are organized principally by product category, geographic location and distribution channel. Management of each segment is responsible for the operations of these segments’ businesses but shares a common supply chain and media and marketing platforms. In October 2009, we completed the sale of our yarn operations and, as a result, we no longer have net sales in the Other segment, which was primarily comprised of sales of yarn to third parties.
 
Seasonality
 
Our operating results are subject to some variability due to seasonality and other factors. Generally, our diverse range of product offerings helps mitigate the impact of seasonal changes in demand for certain items. Sales are typically higher in the last two quarters (July to December) of each fiscal year. Socks, hosiery and fleece products generally have higher sales during this period as a result of cooler weather, back-to-school shopping and holidays. Sales levels in any period are also impacted by customers’ decisions to increase or decrease their inventory levels in response to anticipated consumer demand. Our customers may cancel orders, change delivery schedules or change the mix of products ordered with minimal notice to us. For example, we have experienced a shift in timing by our largest retail customers of back-to-school programs between June and July the last two years.
 
Highlights from the First Quarter Ended April 3, 2010
 
  •  Total net sales in the first quarter of 2010 were $928 million, compared with $858 million in the first quarter of 2009, representing an 8.2% increase.
 
  •  Operating profit was $86 million in the first quarter of 2010, compared with $16 million in the first quarter of 2009. As a percent of sales, operating profit was 9.2% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to 1.9% in the first quarter of 2009.
 
  •  Diluted earnings per share were $0.37 in the first quarter of 2010, compared with a loss of $0.20 in the first quarter of 2009.
 
  •  Gross capital expenditures were $28 million during the first quarter of 2010, compared with $56 million in the first quarter of 2009. Proceeds from sales of assets were $40 million in the first quarter of 2010.

Consolidated net sales were higher by $70 million or 8% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009, which reflects significant space and distribution gains at retailers, positive retail sell-through and some inventory restocking at retail. Our significant retail shelf-space gains contributed approximately 6% of sales growth, while approximately 2% of growth was driven by increased retail sell-through, retailer inventory restocking and foreign currency exchange rates.
 
Innerwear, Outerwear, Direct to Consumer and International segment net sales were higher by $33 million (8%), $24 million (11%), $3 million (4%) and $15 million (17%), respectively, in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009. Hosiery and Other segment net sales were lower by $2 million (5%) and $3 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009.
 
Innerwear segment net sales were higher by 8% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009, driven by increases in all product categories resulting from space and distribution gains, retailer inventory restocking and stronger sales at retail. Male underwear net sales were higher by 14% and intimate apparel net sales were 5% higher.
 
Our Outerwear segment net sales, which also benefited from space and distribution gains and stronger sales at retail, were higher by 11% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009 even though normally the first quarter is the seasonal low sales quarter for this segment. Casualwear net sales in the retail and wholesale channels were higher by 19% in total. The higher net sales of 49% in the retail casualwear channel reflect space gains resulting primarily from an exclusive long-term agreement entered into with Wal-Mart in April 2009 that significantly expanded the presence of our Just My Size brand. In addition, our Champion brand activewear net sales, which continue to be positively impacted by our marketing investment in the brand and space gains, were higher by 5%.
 
Hosiery segment net sales were lower by 5% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009. The first quarter decline rate reflects the fourth consecutive quarter of improved net sales trends.
 
Direct to Consumer segment net sales were higher by 4% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009 primarily due to higher net sales related to our Internet operations and higher net sales in our outlet stores attributable to new store openings since the first quarter of 2009.

International segment net sales were higher by 17% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009, primarily attributable to a favorable impact of $9 million related to foreign currency exchange rates and stronger net sales in Canada and Mexico. Our most established businesses are in Canada and Mexico where we hold leading Innerwear positions with strong market shares in intimate apparel and male underwear product categories. International segment net sales were higher by 6% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009 after excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates on currency.

Gross profit

As a percent of net sales, our gross profit was 35.3% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to 30.1% in the first quarter of 2009, increasing as a result of the items described below. Our results in the first quarter of 2010 primarily benefited from higher sales volumes and lower manufacturing costs.
 
Our gross profit was higher by $70 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009 due primarily to higher sales volume of $33 million, lower cotton costs of $13 million, lower production costs of $12 million related to lower energy and oil-related costs, including freight costs, lower other manufacturing costs of $7 million primarily related to cost reductions, vendor price reductions of $6 million, lower start-up and shutdown costs of $5 million associated with the consolidation and globalization of our supply chain, savings from our prior restructuring actions of $4 million, a $4 million favorable impact related to foreign currency exchange rates and lower on-going excess and obsolete inventory costs of $3 million. The favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates in our International segment was primarily due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar, Mexican peso and Brazilian real compared to the U.S. dollar.
 
The cotton prices reflected in our results were 52 cents per pound in the first quarter of 2010 compared to 74 cents per pound in the first quarter of 2009. After taking into consideration the cotton costs currently included in inventory, we expect our cost of cotton to average 69 cents per pound for the full year of 2010 compared to 55 cents per pound for 2009. While cotton and oil-related costs were lower in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009, we continue to see higher prices for cotton and oil-related materials in the market, which will impact our results for the remainder of 2010. The current market price for cotton, which will impact our operating results in the latter half of 2010, has risen to the low 80 cents per pound range.
 
Our gross profit was negatively impacted by an unfavorable product sales mix of $11 million, higher sales incentives of $6 million and lower product pricing of $3 million, primarily within the wholesale casualwear channel. Our sales incentives were higher as we made significant investments to support retailers and position ourselves for future sales opportunities.
 
We incurred one-time restructuring related write-offs of $3 million in the first quarter of 2009 for stranded raw materials and work in process inventory determined not to be salvageable or cost-effective to relocate, which did not recur in the first quarter of 2010.

Our media related media, advertising and promotion (“MAP”) expenses and non-media related MAP expenses were higher by $7 million and $6 million, respectively, during the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009 when we reduced spending due to the recession.

expenses may vary from period to period during a fiscal year depending on the timing of our advertising campaigns for retail selling seasons and product introductions. We also incurred higher consulting expenses of $3 million, higher selling and other marketing expenses of $3 million, higher distribution expenses of $2 million and higher technology expenses of $1 million. The higher selling and other marketing expenses and distribution expenses were primarily due to higher sales volumes.
 
These higher expenses were partially offset by savings of $4 million from our prior restructuring actions and lower stock compensation and certain other benefit expenses of $4 million.
 
We also incurred higher expenses of $2 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009 as a result of new retail stores or expanding existing stores over the last 12 months. We opened one retail store during the first quarter of 2010. Changes due to foreign currency exchange rates, which are included in the impact of the changes discussed above, resulted in higher selling, general and administrative expenses of $3 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009.

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had a favorable impact on operating profit of $1 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009.

During the first quarter of 2010, we wrote off unamortized debt issuance costs and incurred charges for funding fees associated with the sales of certain trade accounts receivable to financial institutions, which combined totaled $1 million. The write-off related to unamortized debt issuance costs resulting from the reduction in borrowing capacity available under the accounts receivable securitization facility that we entered into in November 2007 (the “Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility”) from $250 million to $150 million that we effected in recognition of our lower trade accounts receivable balance resulting from the sales of certain trade accounts receivable to a financial institution outside the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility.

During the first quarter of 2009, we incurred costs to amend the senior secured credit facility that we entered into in 2006 (the “2006 Senior Secured Credit Facility”) and the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility of $4 million.

Interest expense, net was higher by $1 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009. The refinancing of our debt structure in December 2009, which included the amendment and restatement of the 2006 Senior Secured Credit Facility (as amended and restated, the “2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility”), the issuance of our $500 million 8.000% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “8% Senior Notes”) and settlement of certain outstanding interest rate hedging instruments, combined with a lower London Interbank Offered Rate, or “LIBOR,” and federal funds rate caused a net increase in interest expense in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009 of $6 million.
 
These increases in interest expense were partially offset by lower outstanding debt balances that reduced interest expense by $5 million. Our weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt was 5.49% during the first quarter of 2010 compared to 5.88% in the first quarter of 2009.
 
We are required under the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility to hedge a portion of our floating rate debt to reduce interest rate risk caused by floating rate debt issuance. To comply with this requirement, in the first quarter of 2010 we entered into hedging arrangements whereby we capped the LIBOR interest rate component on an aggregate of $491 million of the floating rate debt under our $500 million Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Floating Rate Senior Notes”) at 4.262%.

Our effective income tax rate was 22% in the first quarter of 2010 and the first quarter of 2009. We recorded a tax benefit on a pre-tax loss of $25 million primarily the result of significant restructuring and related charges in the first quarter of 2009.
 
The effective income tax rate of 22% for the first quarter of 2010 is primarily attributable to a lower proportion of our earnings attributed to foreign subsidiaries than in the first quarter of 2009, which are taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate, offset by a benefit in the first quarter of 2010 resulting from the finalization of tax reviews and audits for amounts that were less than originally anticipated. Our effective tax rate reflects our strategic initiative to make capital investments outside the United States in our global supply chain in 2010.

Net income for the first quarter of 2010 was higher than the first quarter of 2009 primarily due to higher operating profit of $70 million and lower other expenses of $3 million, partially offset by higher income tax expense of $16 million and higher interest expense of $1 million.

A significant portion of the selling, general and administrative expenses in each segment is an allocation of our consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses, however certain expenses that are specifically identifiable to a segment are charged directly to such segment. The allocation methodology for the consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2010 is consistent with the first quarter of 2009. Our consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses before segment allocations were $18 million higher in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009.

Overall net sales in the Innerwear segment were higher by $33 million or 8% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009, primarily due to space and distribution gains, retailer inventory restocking and stronger sales at retail. We are focused on growing the Innerwear segment by leveraging our strong brands across all distribution channels and using our innovation processes to take advantage of long-term consumer trends. We continue to leverage our scale and consumer insight to gain new space and distribution.
 
Net sales in our male underwear product category were $22 million higher in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009, which reflect higher net sales in our Hanes brand of $20 million primarily due to distribution gains related to a new customer in the discount retail channel, space gains in the mass merchant and department store channels and increased retail sell through. Our male underwear product category continues to benefit from the increased media support for our Hanes brand and from our identification of key long-term megatrends such as comfort and dyed and color products. We have developed innovations to capitalize on these trends such as the Hanes Lay Flat Collar T-shirts and Hanes Comfortsoft waist band briefs and boxers.
 
Total intimate apparel net sales were $10 million higher in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009 primarily due to higher net sales in our Hanes brand of $4 million, our smaller brands ( barely there , Just My Size and Wonderbra ) of $4 million and our Playtex brand of $3 million. Distribution gains related to a new customer in the discount retail channel and space gains and retailer inventory restocking in the mass merchant and national chain channels contributed to the higher net sales in the intimate apparel product category.
 
Higher net sales of $1 million in our socks product category reflect higher Hanes brand net sales of $5 million primarily due to space gains in the mass merchant channel, partially offset by a decline in Champion brand net sales of $4 million primarily due to lower net sales in the wholesale club channel in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009.
 
The Innerwear segment gross profit was higher by $32 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009. The higher gross profit was primarily due to higher sales volume of $17 million, lower production costs of $7 million related to lower energy and oil-related costs, including freight costs, lower cotton costs of $6 million, higher product pricing of $4 million before increased sales incentives, savings from our prior restructuring actions of $3 million, lower on-going excess and obsolete inventory costs of $3 million, vendor price reductions of $3 million and lower other manufacturing costs of $3 million primarily related to cost reductions at our manufacturing facilities. These lower costs were partially offset by higher sales incentives of $7 million due to investments made with retailers and an unfavorable product sales mix of $7 million.
 
As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit in the Innerwear segment was 35.9% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to 31.1% in the first quarter of 2009, increasing as a result of the items described above.
 
The higher Innerwear segment operating profit in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009 was primarily attributable to higher gross profit and savings of $2 million from prior restructuring actions primarily for compensation and related benefits, partially offset by higher media related MAP expenses of $4 million and higher non-media related MAP expenses of $2 million.

Our Outerwear segment net sales, which benefited from space and distribution gains and stronger sales at retail, were higher by $24 million or 11% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009. Casualwear net sales were higher in both the retail and wholesale channels by $16 million and $5 million, respectively. The higher net sales of 49% in the retail casualwear channel reflect space gains resulting primarily from an exclusive long-term agreement entered into with Wal-Mart in April 2009 that significantly expanded the presence of our Just My Size brand. This integrated program with Wal-Mart develops, sources, and merchandises a line of women’s clothing designed to meet the needs of plus size women.
 
Our Champion brand activewear net sales, which continue to be positively impacted by our marketing investment in the brand and space gains in wholesale club and sporting goods channels, were higher by $5 million or 5%. Our Champion brand has achieved consistent growth by focusing on the fast growing active demographic with a unique moderate price positioning.
 
The Outerwear segment gross profit was higher by $22 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009. The higher gross profit was primarily due to higher sales volume of $10 million, lower cotton costs of $7 million, lower production costs of $4 million related to lower energy and oil-related costs, including freight costs, lower other manufacturing costs of $3 million primarily related to cost reductions at our manufacturing facilities, lower sales incentives of $3 million and vendor price reductions of $2 million. These lower costs were partially offset by lower product pricing of $7 million primarily within the wholesale casualwear channel and an unfavorable product sales mix of $2 million.
 
As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit in the Outerwear segment was 21.1% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to 13.3% in the first quarter of 2009, increasing as a result of the items described above.
 
The higher Outerwear segment operating profit in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009 was primarily attributable to higher gross profit, partially offset by higher non-media related MAP expenses of $3 million and higher media related MAP expenses of $1 million.

Net sales in the Hosiery segment declined by $2 million or 5%, which was primarily due to lower sales of our L’eggs brand to mass retailers and food and drug stores. The first quarter decline rate reflects the fourth consecutive quarter of improved net sales trends. The hosiery category has been in a state of consistent decline for the past decade, as the trend toward casual dress reduced demand for sheer hosiery. While we do not anticipate growth in the Hosiery segment, net sales may potentially flatten after declines continue through 2010 as this business is now the size of a specialty business and the major space contractions that retailers have made to their hosiery sections have largely been implemented. We are also seeing signs of younger consumers becoming interested in the category as tights have become an established trend. Generally, we manage the Hosiery segment for cash, placing an emphasis on reducing our cost structure and managing cash efficiently.

Direct to Consumer segment net sales were $3 million or 4% higher in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009 primarily due to higher net sales related to our Internet operations and higher net sales in our outlet stores attributable to new store openings since the first quarter of 2009. Comparable store sales were slightly lower (2%) driven by lower traffic.
 
The Direct to Consumer segment gross profit was higher by $1 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009. The higher gross profit was primarily due to higher sales volume of $2 million.

Overall net sales in the International segment were higher by $15 million or 17% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009, primarily attributable to a favorable impact of $9 million related to foreign currency exchange rates and stronger net sales in Canada and Mexico. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates on currency, International segment net sales increased by 6% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009. The favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates in our International segment was primarily due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar, Mexican peso and Brazilian real compared to the U.S. dollar. During the first quarter of 2010, we experienced higher net sales, in each case excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, in our activewear and male underwear businesses in Canada of $6 million and in our intimate apparel business in Mexico of $2 million, partially offset by lower net sales in our casualwear business in Europe of $2 million and lower net sales in Japan of $1 million. Our most established businesses are in Canada and Mexico where we hold leading Innerwear positions with strong market shares in intimate apparel and male underwear product categories. In certain international markets we are focusing on adopting global designs for some product categories to quickly launch new styles to expand our market position. The higher net sales reflect our successful efforts to improve our strong positions.

The International segment gross profit was higher by $6 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009. The higher gross profit was primarily a result of a favorable impact related to foreign currency exchange rates of $4 million and higher sales volume of $3 million.
 
As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit in the International segment was 41.1% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009 at 40.9%, increasing as a result of the items described above.
 
The higher International segment operating profit in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009 was primarily attributable to the higher gross profit, partially offset by higher selling and other marketing expenses of $2 million and higher distribution expenses of $1 million.

Sales in our Other segment primarily consisted of sales of yarn to third parties, which were intended to maintain asset utilization at certain manufacturing facilities and generate approximate break even margins. In October 2009, we completed the sale of our yarn operations as a result of which we ceased making our own yarn and now source all of our yarn requirements from large-scale yarn suppliers. As a result of the sale of our yarn operations, we no longer have net sales in our Other segment.
 
General Corporate Expenses
 
General corporate expenses were flat in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009 primarily due to lower start-up and shut-down costs of $5 million associated with the consolidation and globalization of our supply chain, partially offset by $2 million related to foreign exchange transaction losses and higher other expenses of $3 million.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Trends and Uncertainties Affecting Liquidity
 
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated by operations and availability under our Revolving Loan Facility, Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility and our international loan facilities. At April 3, 2010, we had $269 million of borrowing availability under our $400 million Revolving Loan Facility (after taking into account outstanding letters of credit), $45 million of borrowing availability under our international loan facilities, $42 million in cash and cash equivalents and $4 million of borrowing availability under our Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility. We currently believe that our existing cash balances and cash generated by operations, together with our available credit capacity, will enable us to comply with the terms of our indebtedness and meet foreseeable liquidity requirements.
 
The following have impacted or are expected to impact liquidity:
 
  •  we have principal and interest obligations under our debt;
 
  •  we expect to continue to invest in efforts to improve operating efficiencies and lower costs;
 
  •  we expect to continue to ramp up our lower-cost manufacturing capacity in Asia, Central America and the Caribbean Basin and enhance efficiency;
 
  •  we expect to make payments related to actions taken in prior periods related to our restructuring efforts;

Table of Contents

 
  •  we may selectively pursue strategic acquisitions;
 
  •  we could increase or decrease the portion of the income of our foreign subsidiaries that is expected to be remitted to the United States, which could significantly impact our effective income tax rate; and
 
  •  our board of directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 10 million shares of our stock in the open market over the next few years (2.8 million of which we have repurchased as of April 3, 2010 at a cost of $75 million), although we may choose not to repurchase any stock and instead focus on the repayment of our debt.
 
We expect to be able to manage our working capital levels and capital expenditure amounts to maintain sufficient levels of liquidity. We have restructured our supply chain over the past three years to create more efficient production clusters that utilize fewer, larger facilities and to balance production capability between the Western Hemisphere and Asia. As a result of increased sales expectations for 2010 as discussed below in the “Outlook” section of this MD&A, we have secured additional capacity with outside contractors to support sales growth. With our global supply chain infrastructure substantially in place, we are now focused on optimizing our supply chain to further enhance efficiency, improve working capital and asset turns and reduce costs. We are focused on optimizing the working capital needs of our supply chain through several initiatives, such as supplier-managed inventory for raw materials and sourced goods ownership arrangements. Factors that could help us in these efforts include higher sales volume and the realization of additional cost benefits from previous restructuring and related actions.
 
As of April 3, 2010, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under our credit facilities. We expect to maintain compliance with our covenants for the foreseeable future, however economic conditions or the occurrence of events discussed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K or other SEC filings could cause noncompliance.
 
Our debt under the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility, Floating Rate Senior Notes and Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility bear interest at variable rates. As a result, we are exposed to changes in market interest rates that could impact the cost of servicing our debt. We are required under the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility to hedge a portion of our floating rate debt to reduce interest rate risk caused by floating rate debt issuance. To comply with this requirement, in the first quarter of 2010 we entered into hedging arrangements whereby we capped the LIBOR interest rate component on an aggregate of $491 million of the floating rate debt under the Floating Rate Senior Notes at 4.262%. The interest rate cap arrangements, with notional amounts of $241 million and $250 million, expire in December 2011.
 
Outlook
 
We have built a powerful three-plank growth platform designed to use big brands to increase sales domestically and internationally, use a low-cost worldwide supply chain to expand margins, and use strong cash flow to support multiple strategies to create value.
 
The first plank of our growth platform is the size and power of our brands. We have made significant investment in our consumer insights capability, innovative product development, and marketing. We have very large U.S. share positions, with the No. 1 share in all our innerwear categories and strong positions in outerwear categories, but we have ample opportunities to further build share. Internationally, our commercial markets include Mexico, Canada, Japan, India, Brazil and China where a substantial amount of gross domestic product growth outside the United States will be concentrated over the next decade.
 
The second plank of our growth platform is the unique, low-cost global supply chain that we have just built. Our low-cost, high-scale supply chain spans both the Western and Eastern hemispheres and creates a competitive advantage for us around the globe. Our supply chain has generated significant cost savings, margin expansion and contributions to cash flow and will continue to do so as we further optimize our size, scale and production capability. To support our growth, we have increased our production capacity. Our Nanjing textile facility started production in the fourth quarter of 2009 and we expect to ramp up production over the next 15 months.

Table of Contents

The third plank of our growth platform is our ability to consistently generate strong cash flow. We have the potential to increase cash flow, and we have a new flexible long-term capital structure that allows us to use cash in executing multiple strategies for earnings growth, including debt reduction and selective tactical acquisitions.
 
We have secured significant shelf-space and distribution gains at retail, and started to ship product for most of this increased space in 2010. Program gains significantly outnumber program losses, and we expect the net space gains to generate slightly more than 5 percentage points of incremental sales growth in 2010, independent of a consumer spending rebound. By segment, two-thirds of the increases are expected in our Innerwear segment and most of the remainder in our Outerwear segment. However, both our Direct to Consumer and International segments should also see mid-single-digit growth in 2010. Based upon strong first quarter 2010 performance, we could see sales growth of 1 to 3 percentage points in 2010 from an overall increase in consumer spending, retailer inventory restocking and foreign currency exchange rates.
 
As a result of the increased sales expectations, we may invest an incremental $5 million to $10 million in advertising and trade spending over the remainder of the year which should restore our media spending back to a range of $90 to $100 million in an effort to further build market share growth.
 
During 2010, we expect our annual gross capital spending to be relatively comparable to our annual depreciation and amortization expense and should represent our last high year of gross capital spending. We now expect net capital expenditures of approximately $60 to $70 million in the full year 2010 to support our expectation for increasing sales, up from $50 million previously expected. We may also need to carry additional inventory into 2011 to support continuing sales momentum and secure additional production capacity with outside contractors as needed.
 
While cotton and oil-related costs were lower in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009, we continue to see higher prices for cotton and oil-related materials in the market, which will impact our results for the remainder of 2010. After taking into consideration the cotton costs currently included in inventory, we expect our cost of cotton to average 69 cents per pound for the full year of 2010 compared to 55 cents per pound for 2009 which will be a negative impact of approximately $34 million compared to the full year of 2009. The current market price for cotton, which will impact our operating results in the latter half of 2010, has risen to the low 80 cents per pound range. If we continue to see sustained increases, we may need to increase prices or find other cost reductions to mitigate the impact.
 
Cash Requirements for Our Business
 
We rely on our cash flows generated from operations and the borrowing capacity under our Revolving Loan Facility, Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility and international loan facilities to meet the cash requirements of our business. The primary cash requirements of our business are payments to vendors in the normal course of business, capital expenditures, maturities of debt and related interest payments, restructuring costs, contributions to our pension plans and repurchases of our stock. We believe we have sufficient cash and available borrowings for our liquidity needs. The flexibility provided by the debt refinancing we completed in December 2009 provides greater opportunity to pay down debt, repurchase our stock, pursue selected acquisitions or make discretionary contributions to our pension plans.
 
Capital spending has varied significantly from year to year as we executed our supply chain consolidation and globalization strategy and the integration and consolidation of our technology systems. As a result of increased sales expectations for 2010, we expect to invest $60 to $70 million in net capital expenditures, up from $50 million previously expected and intend to carry adequate inventory levels to maximize sales potential. We spent $28 million on gross capital expenditures during the first quarter of 2010, which were offset by cash proceeds of $40 million from sales of exited supply chain facilities and sale-leaseback transactions.
 
There have been no other significant changes in the cash requirements for our business from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2010.

Operating Activities
 
Net cash used in operating activities was $39 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to $58 million in the first quarter of 2009. The net decrease in cash used in operating activities of $19 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009 is primarily attributable to higher net income of $56 million partially offset by higher uses of our working capital of $37 million.
 
Net inventory increased $134 million from January 2, 2010 in order to build for the seasonally stronger second quarter and back-to-school period and to support new programs. In addition, our work in process inventory was slightly higher due to the Haiti earthquake disruption and the Asia supply chain transition and production ramp-up.
 
With our global supply chain infrastructure substantially in place, we are now focused on optimizing our supply chain to further enhance efficiency, improve working capital and asset turns and reduce costs. We are focused on optimizing the working capital needs of our supply chain through several initiatives, such as supplier-managed inventory for raw materials and sourced goods ownership arrangements.
 
Investing Activities
 
Net cash provided by investing activities was $12 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $55 million in the first quarter of 2009. The higher net cash from investing activities of $67 million for in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009 was primarily the result of higher proceeds from sales of assets of $40 million and lower gross capital expenditures of $28 million. During the first quarter of 2010, proceeds from sales of assets were $40 million, primarily resulting from sale-leaseback transactions involving three distribution centers.
 
Financing Activities
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $31 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to $78 million in the first quarter of 2009. The lower net cash from financing activities of $48 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009 was primarily the result of lower net borrowings on the Revolving Loan Facility of $61 million, higher net repayments on notes payable of $13 million and a $2 million repayment of debt under the 2009 Senior Secured Credit Facility during the first quarter of 2010, which was partially offset by payments of $21 million for debt amendment fees associated with the amendments of the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility and the 2006 Senior Secured Credit Facility during the first quarter of 2009 and higher net borrowings of $7 million on the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility during the first quarter of 2010.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
As of April 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010, cash and cash equivalents were $43 million and $39 million, respectively. The higher cash and cash equivalents as of April 3, 2010 was primarily the result of net cash provided by financing activities of $31 million and net cash provided by investing activities of $12 million, partially offset by net cash used in operating activities of $39 million.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
We have chosen accounting policies that we believe are appropriate to accurately and fairly report our operating results and financial condition in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We apply these accounting policies in a consistent manner. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, titled “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2010.
 
The application of critical accounting policies requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and may retain outside consultants to assist in our evaluation. If actual results ultimately differ from previous estimates, the revisions are included in results of operations in the period in which the actual amounts become known. The critical accounting policies that involve the most significant management judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements, or are the most sensitive to change from outside factors, are discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2010. There have been no material changes in these policies during the quarter ended April 3, 2010.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
Fair Value Disclosures
 
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new accounting rules related to the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The new accounting rules require new disclosures for significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the activity within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The new accounting rules also clarify existing disclosures regarding the level of disaggregation of assets or liabilities and the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value. The new accounting rules are effective for our first interim fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of the disclosures effective for the first interim fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2009 did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows but resulted in certain additional disclosures reflected in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.
 
Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
There have been no significant changes in our market risk exposures from those described in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2010.
 
Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
 
As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

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, and the Annual Company Contribution allocable to the Participant with respect to that Plan Year for all purposes of the Plan.

  (i)   Each Eligible Employee hired on or after January 1, 2008 shall become a Participant as follows:
  (A)   With respect to Before-Tax Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions, and Matching Contributions, immediately following the date the Eligible Employee has completed at least 30 days of Service; and

  (b)   Special Participation Rules . Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the following special participation rules shall apply:
  (i)   “Participants” only for purposes of Subsection 4.04 . For purposes of transferred amounts or Rollover Contributions made pursuant to Subsection 4.04, the term “Participant” shall include an Employee of an Employer who is not yet a Participant in the Plan, but such “Participant” may not make Before-Tax Contributions or receive any Employer Contributions before satisfying the requirements of this Section.
 
  (ii)   Transfer Between Covered Groups . In the event an Employee or Participant transfers employment from one Covered Group to a different Covered Group that is not eligible for the same contributions and benefits under the Plan, such individual shall be treated as terminating employment and simultaneously being reemployed under Subsection 12.01 solely for purposes of determining his or her eligibility for contributions and benefits under the Plan during his or her employment with the new Covered Group.

17


 

  (iii)   Inactive Transferred Participants . Transferred Participants who are not actively employed by an Employer in a Covered Group shall be treated as terminated or restricted participants under Subsection 7.02 of the Plan.
3.02 Covered Group
     Covered Groups under the Plan include Employees of Hanesbrands Inc. other than (a) Employees employed in Puerto Rico, and (b) Employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement which agreement does not provide for participation in the Plan; provided that participation in the Plan was the subject of good faith bargaining. Designation of a Covered Group when made by the Company shall be effected by action of the Committee or by a person or persons authorized by said Committee. Designation of a Covered Group when made by any other Employer shall be effected by action of that Employer’s Board of Directors or a person or persons so authorized by that Board.
3.03 Leave of Absence
     A Leave of Absence will not interrupt continuity of participation in the Plan. Leaves of Absence will be granted under an Employer’s rules applied uniformly to all Participants similarly situated. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, (i) contributions, benefits, and service credit with respect to qualified military service will be provided in accordance with Section 414(u) of the Code, and (ii) in the case of a Participant who dies while performing qualified military service (as defined in Section 414(u) of the Code) on or after January 1, 2007, the survivors of the Participant will be entitled to any benefits (other than benefit accruals relating to the period of qualified military service) provided under the Plan had the Participant resumed and then terminated employment on account of death.

SECTION 4
Before-Tax Contributions
4.01 Before-Tax Contributions
  (a)   Before-Tax Contribution Election . Each full-time and part-time, exempt and non-exempt salaried or hourly Participant may elect to defer a portion of his or her Compensation for any Plan Year by electing to have a percentage (in multiples of one percent not to exceed 50 percent) of his or her Compensation contributed to the Plan on his or her behalf by his or her Employer as Before-Tax Contributions. A Participant may elect to make such Before-Tax Contributions beginning as soon as administratively possible following the date he or she becomes a Participant, subject to Subparagraph (b) below. Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, a Participant may make a Before-Tax Contribution election only with respect to amounts that are compensation within the meaning of Section 415 of the Code and Section 1.415(c)-2 of the Treasury Regulations.
 
  (b)   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 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 each Plan Year thereafter, up to six percent 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 from the Participant’s Compensation

19


 

      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 50 years (or will attain age 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 Sections 402(g) and 415 of the Code contained in Subsections 6.03 and 6.05, respectively.
4.03 Change in Election
     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;

20


 

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.

21


 

SECTION 5
Employer Contributions
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 15th business day of the next following month, and allocated to Participants’ Current Year Before-Tax Contribution Subaccounts.
5.02 Annual Company Contribution
     For each Plan Year, the Employers shall contribute to the Plan as follows:
  (a)   For each Participant who is an exempt or non-exempt salaried employee, an amount determined by the Company each year in its discretion, which amount shall not be in excess of four percent of such Participant’s 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 each Participant who is an hourly, non-union employee or a New York-based sample department union Employee, an amount determined by the Company each year in its discretion, which amount shall not be in excess of two percent of such Participant’s Compensation for that portion of the Plan Year during which he or she was an hourly employee and a Participant in the Plan.
     Annual Company Contributions under this Subsection 5.02 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 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 55 with 10 Years of Service, or after age 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 100 percent of the Participant’s Before-Tax Contributions

      (including Catch-Up Contributions) made since the last Employer Matching Contribution that do not exceed four percent of the Participant’s Compensation.
  (b)   As of the end of each calendar quarter (a “true up allocation date”), a “true up” Matching Contribution for each Participant who, as of the applicable true up allocation date, did not receive the full Matching Contribution provided under Subparagraph (a) and this Subparagraph (b), if applicable, based on the amount of his or her Before-Tax Contributions (including Catch-Up Contributions) for the Plan Year as of the applicable true up allocation date. 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 as of the true up allocation date, and the full Matching Contribution that the Participant would have been entitled to receive for the Plan Year as of the true up allocation date if such Matching Contributions were determined as of the true up allocation date instead of on a quarterly basis.
 
  (c)   Matching Contributions 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

  (b)   Had attained age 50 and completed 10 Years of Service; and

23


 

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 shall be made as soon as practicable after each true up allocation date.
5.07 Allocation of Matching Contributions

Matching Contributions under Subparagraph 5.03(b) of the Plan shall be allocated and credited as soon as practicable after each true up allocation date.
5.08 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 5.02 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.
5.09 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 accountant selected by the Employer as to the correctness of any such amount or calculation shall be conclusive on all persons.
5.10 Corrective Contributions/Reallocations
     If, with respect to any Plan Year, an administrative error results in a Participant’s Account not being properly credited with his or her Before-Tax Contributions, Rollover Contributions, or Employer Contributions, or earnings on any such amounts, corrective Employer Contributions or account reallocations may be made in accordance with this

24


 

Subsection. Solely for the purpose of placing any affected Participant’s Account in the position that the Account would have been in had no error been made:
  (a)   an Employer may make additional contributions to such Participant’s Accounts; or
 
  (b)   the Committee may reallocate existing contributions among the Accounts of affected Participants.
In addition, with respect to any Plan Year, if an administrative error results in an amount being credited to an Account for a Participant or any other individual who is not otherwise entitled to such amount, corrective action may be taken by the Committee, including, but not limited to, a direction to forfeit amounts erroneously credited (with such forfeitures to be used to reduce future Employer Contributions or other contributions to the Plan), reallocate such erroneously credited amounts to other Participants’ Accounts, or take such other corrective action as necessary under the circumstances. Any Plan administration error may be corrected using any appropriate correction method permitted under the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System (or any successor procedure), as determined by the Committee in its discretion.
5.11 No Interest in Employers
     The Employers shall have no right, title or interest in the Trust Fund, nor will any part of the Trust Fund at any time revert or be repaid to an Employer, unless:
  (a)   Any portion of a contribution is made by an Employer by mistake of fact and such portion is returned to the Employer within one year after payment to the Trustee; or
 
  (b)   A contribution conditioned on the deductibility thereof is disallowed as an expense for federal income tax purposes and such contribution (to the extent disallowed) is returned to the Employer within one year after the disallowance of the deduction.
     The amount of any contribution that may be returned to an Employer pursuant to Subparagraph (a) or (b) above must be reduced by any portion thereof previously distributed from the Trust Fund to Participants or their Beneficiaries and by any losses of the Trust Fund allocable thereto, and in no event may the return of such amount cause any Participant’s Account balance to be less than the amount that such balance would have been had the contribution not been made under the Plan.

25


 

SECTION 6
Contribution Limits
6.01 Limitation on Before-Tax Contributions
     The Plan satisfies the nondiscrimination requirements of Section 401(k) of the Code in accordance with the safe harbor method based on Matching Contributions, as described in Section 401(k)(13)(D) of the Code.
6.02 Limitation on Matching Contributions
     The Plan satisfies the nondiscrimination requirements of Section 401(m) of the Code in accordance with the safe harbor method based on Matching Contributions, as described in Section 401(m)(12) of the Code.
6.03 Dollar Limitation
     No Participant shall make a Before-Tax Contribution election which will result in his or her Elective Deferrals for any calendar year exceeding $16,500 (or such greater amount as may be prescribed by the Secretary of Treasury to take into account cost-of-living increases pursuant to Section 402(g) of the Code), 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. 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. 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. Contribution adjustments under this Subsection shall comply with the requirements of Section 1.401(k)-2 of the Treasury Regulations, the provisions of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

26


 

6.04 Allocation of Earnings to Distributions of Excess Deferrals
     The earnings allocable to distributions of Excess Deferrals under Subsection 6.03 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no income shall be allocated to Excess Deferrals for the period between the end of the Plan Year and prior to the distribution of such amounts.
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 $49,000 (as adjusted for cost-of-living increases under Section 415(d) of the Code) or 100 percent 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 Section 415(c)(3) of the Code and Section 1.415(c)-2(b) and (c) of the Treasury Regulations 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 Sections 125, 132(f) and 402(g)(3) of the Code.
 
  (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:
  (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 after severance from employment, even if paid by the later of 2-1/2 months after the date of severance from employment or the end of the Limitation Year that includes the date of severance from employment, except for payments to an individual who does not currently perform services for the Employers by reason

27


 

      of qualified military service (within the meaning of Section 414(u)(1) of the Code) to the extent these payments do not exceed the amounts the individual would have received if the individual had continued to perform services for the Employers rather than entering qualified military service.
  (c)   A Participant’s compensation for a Limitation Year shall not include compensation in excess of the limitation under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code in effect for the Limitation Year.
     The Committee shall take any actions it deems advisable to avoid an Annual Addition in excess of Section 415 of the Code; provided, however, if a Participant’s Annual Addition for a Limitation Year actually exceeds the limitations of this Subsection, the Committee shall correct such excess in accordance with applicable guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service. Annual Additions shall be subject to Section 415 of the Code and applicable Treasury regulations issued thereunder, the requirements of which are incorporated herein by reference to the extent not specifically provided in this Subsection 6.05.

If a Participant who was an Eligible Employee of an Employer becomes a Leased Employee of an Employer, then his or her change in status shall not be considered a termination of employment for purposes of determining when his or her Separation Date occurs under this Subsection. A Participant’s termination of employment with all of the Employers at any age while Totally Disabled shall be deemed a termination on account of Total Disability.
7.02 Restricted Participation

  (i)   His or her Before-Tax Contributions, as provided in Subsection 5.01, with respect to Compensation paid through his or her Separation Date; and
 
  (ii)   If applicable, an Annual Company Contribution and/or a Transition Contribution for the Plan Year in which his or her Separation Date occurs, based on his or her Compensation paid during that portion of the Plan Year in which he or she was a Participant eligible for such contributions.

  (c)   Distributions and withdrawals that have been made but not previously charged to the Participant’s Account; and
 
  (d)   Changes in the Adjusted Net Worth of the Investment Funds in which such Account is invested.
     As of each Accounting Date, the Committee shall establish the value of each Participant’s Account, which value shall reflect the transactions posted to the Participant’s Account as they occurred during the preceding calendar month. As of the first day of each Plan Year, the balance in each Participant’s Current Year Before-Tax Contribution Subaccount, Current Year Matching Contribution Subaccount, Current Year Annual Company Contribution Subaccount, Current Year Transition Contribution Subaccount, if any, shall be reflected in the Participant’s Before-Tax Contribution Account, Matching Contribution Account, Annual Company Contribution Account, Transition Contribution Account, and After-Tax Account, respectively and the balances of such Current Year Before-Tax Contribution Subaccount, Current Year Matching Contribution Subaccount, Current Year Annual Company Contribution Subaccount and Current Year Transition Contribution Subaccount shall be reduced to zero. If a Special Accounting Date occurs, the accounting rules set forth above in this Subsection and elsewhere in this SECTION 8 shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the resulting shorter accounting period ending on that Special Accounting Date.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may establish separate rules to be applied on a uniform basis in adjusting any portion of Participants’ Accounts that is invested in the Hanesbrands Inc. Common Stock Fund for such accounting period, including the treatment of any dividends or stock splits with respect to the securities held in such funds. Such rules may include provisions for (i) allocating earnings from short-term investments during an accounting period to the Subaccounts of Participants; (ii) allocating dividends or stock splits to Participants’ Subaccounts invested in the applicable Fund (or to a separate Account or Subaccount, as applicable); (iii) allocating shares of Hanesbrands Stock to Participants’ Subaccounts based on the average purchase price per share purchased by the Trustee during such accounting period; and (iv) allocating shares of stock (or other securities) to Participants’ Subaccounts based on the applicable stock split or stock dividend factor or other similar basis.
8.03 Crediting of 401(k) Contributions

8.05 Statement of Account
     At such times during each Plan Year as the Committee may determine, each Participant will be furnished with a statement reflecting the condition of his or her Account in the Trust Fund as of the most recent Accounting Date.

9.02 The Investment Funds
     The Investment Committee, in its discretion, may designate one or more funds, referred to collectively as “Investment Funds,” for the investment of Participants’ Accounts. The Investment Committee, in its discretion, may from time to time establish new Investment Funds or eliminate existing Investment Funds; provided that all Participants shall be offered at least three Investment Funds (consistent with applicable Treasury regulations). The available Investment Funds shall include the “Hanesbrands Inc. Common Stock Fund,” the assets of which are primarily invested in shares of Hanesbrands Stock. A portion of each Investment Fund may be invested from time to time in the short-term investment fund (STIF) of a custodian bank.
9.03 Investment of Contributions
     In accordance with rules established by the Committee, a Participant may elect to have contributions to his or her Accounts invested in one or more of the Investment Funds in even multiples of one percent. If a Participant does not make such an election within such period as may be determined by the Committee, he or she shall be deemed to have elected that all eligible contributions to his or her Accounts be invested in the default investment arrangement specified by the Investment Committee in accordance with Section 404(c)(5) of ERISA and accompanying regulations.
     Elections under this Subsection 9.03 and Subsections 9.04 and 9.05 shall be made in such manner and in accordance with such rules as the Committee determines. If the Committee determines in its discretion that elections under this Subsection 9.03 and Subsections 9.04 and 9.05 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 request; further, any such request and confirmation shall be the equivalent of a writing for all purposes.
9.04 Change in Investment of Contributions
     Effective as of any payroll period, a Participant may elect to change his or her investment election under Subsection 9.03. Such change shall apply only with respect to contributions made by or on behalf of the Participant that are received by the Trustee after the effective date of the change.

9.05 Elections to Transfer Balances Between Accounts; Diversification
     On any Accounting Date, a Participant may elect to transfer or reallocate the balances in his or her Accounts in an Investment Fund to one or more other Investment Funds, subject to the trading restrictions of the Investment Fund; any such election shall be made in accordance with rules established by the Committee, and may include an election to automatically reallocate the Participant’s Accounts on such dates as the Participant may specify in the election. The Participant’s Accounts in the Investment Fund from which a fund transfer or reallocation is made will be charged, and his or her Accounts in the Investment Fund to which such fund transfer or reallocation is made will be credited, with the amount so transferred or reallocated in accordance with rules established by the Committee. Such transfers or reallocations shall be made as soon as administratively feasible following the Participant’s election or, in the event of an automatic reallocation, on the date elected by the Participant in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. The foregoing provisions of this Subsection are contingent upon the availability of fund transfers and reallocations between Investment Funds under the terms of the investments made by each Investment Fund. A Participant’s Account may be charged a redemption fee for frequent transfers into and out of an Investment Fund within a restricted time period established by the Investment Fund. Additionally, Participants may be restricted from initiating fund transfers or reallocations into or out of an Investment Fund if the Committee or an Investment Fund determines that the Participant’s transfer activity would be detrimental to that Investment Fund.
9.06 Voting of Stock; Tender Offers
     With respect to Hanesbrands Stock, the Committee shall notify Participants of each meeting of the shareholders of Hanesbrands Inc. and shall furnish to them copies of the proxy statements and other communications distributed to shareholders in connection with any such meeting. The Committee also shall notify the Participants that they are entitled to give the Trustee voting instructions as to Hanesbrands Stock credited to their Accounts. If a Participant furnishes timely instructions to the Trustee, the Trustee (in person or by proxy) shall vote the Hanesbrands Stock (including fractional shares) credited to the Participant’s Accounts in accordance with the directions of the Participant. The Trustee shall vote the Hanesbrands Stock for which it has not received timely direction, in the same proportion as directed shares are voted.
     Similarly, the Committee shall notify Participants of any tender offer for, exchange of, or a request or invitation for tenders of Hanesbrands Stock and shall request from each Participant instructions for the Trustee as to the tendering of Hanesbrands Stock credited to his or her Accounts. The Trustee shall tender or exchange such Hanesbrands Stock as to which it receives (within the time specified in the notification) instructions to tender or exchange. Any Hanesbrands Stock credited to the Accounts of Participants as to which instructions not to tender or exchange are received and as to which no instructions are received shall not be tendered or exchanged.

35


 

9.07 Confidentiality of Participant Instructions
     The instructions received by the Trustee from Participants or Beneficiaries with respect to purchase, sale, voting or tender of Hanesbrands Stock credited to such Participants’ or Beneficiaries’ Accounts shall be held in confidence and shall not be divulged or released to any person, including the Committee, officers or Employees of the Company or any Controlled Group Member.

A Participant (or, in the event of his or her death, his or her Beneficiary) may elect to receive a partial distribution of the vested Account balance (but not less than the lesser of his or her total Account balance or $250.00) as of any Accounting Date after the Participant’s Separation Date.

Such distribution shall be made as soon as practicable following the Participant’s Separation Date. If the Participant’s vested benefit under the Plan is zero, the Participant shall be deemed to have received a distribution of such vested benefit.
 
  (g)   Special Distribution Rules for Certain Military Service Leaves . Notwithstanding the foregoing, in accordance with Section 414(u)(12) of the Code, a Participant receiving a differential wage payment (as defined in Section 3401(h)(2) of the Code) shall be treated as having been severed from employment with the employer for purposes of taking a distribution of his pre-tax compensation deferral contributions account during any period the Participant performs service in the uniformed services while on active duty for a period of more than 30 days. If a Participant elects to receive a distribution pursuant to the preceding sentence, such Participant shall not be permitted to make pre-tax compensation deferral contributions under SECTION 3 of the Plan during the six-month period beginning on the date of the distribution.
10.02 Distributions in Shares
     Distributions of amounts invested in the Hanesbrands Inc. Common Stock Fund may be made in cash or in shares, as elected by the Participant, provided such shares are distributed at their Fair Market Value, as determined by the Trustee. If a Participant elects a stock distribution of amounts invested in the Hanesbrands Inc. Common Stock Fund and the Participant subsequently has additional contributions allocated to either of said funds, the Participant shall receive such additional contributions, to the extent vested, in shares of stock in accordance with Subsection 10.01, unless such additional contributions do not exceed $1,000 as of the date of distribution. If an election is made by the Participant to direct the Trustee to distribute the

40


 

balance of his or her Accounts invested in the Hanesbrands Inc. Common Stock Fund in cash, the Participant shall receive cash equal to the Fair Market Value of the balance of his or her Accounts. For purposes of this Subsection, the rights extended to a Participant hereunder shall also apply to any Beneficiary or Alternate Payee of such Participant. All other distributions shall be made in cash.
10.03 Beneficiary
  (a)   Designation of Beneficiary . Each Participant from time to time, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, may name or designate a Beneficiary. A Beneficiary designation will be effective only when properly provided to the Committee in accordance with its procedures while the Participant is alive and, when effective, will cancel all earlier Beneficiary designations made by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a deceased Participant’s surviving spouse will be his or her sole, primary Beneficiary unless: (i) the spouse had consented in writing to the Participant’s election to designate another person or persons as a primary Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, (ii) such election designates a Beneficiary which may not be changed without spousal consent (or the consent of the spouse expressly permits designations by the Participant without any further consent by the spouse) and (iii) the spouse’s consent acknowledges the effect of such election and is witnessed by a notary public.
 
  (b)   No Beneficiary Designation at Death . If a deceased Participant failed to name or designate a Beneficiary, if the Participant’s Beneficiary designation is ineffective for any reason, or if all of the Participant’s Beneficiaries die before the Participant, the Committee will direct the Trustee to pay the Participant’s Account balance in accordance with the following:
  (i)   To the Participant’s surviving spouse;
 
  (ii)   If the Participant does not have a surviving spouse, to the Participant’s beneficiary or beneficiaries (if any) designated by the Participant under the Hanesbrands Inc. Life Insurance Plan;
 
  (iii)   If the Participant does not have a surviving spouse and failed to designate a beneficiary under the Hanesbrands Inc. Life Insurance Plan, to or for the benefit of the legal representative or representatives of the Participant’s estate; and
 
  (iv)   If the appropriate payee is not identified pursuant to Subparagraphs (i) through (iii) above, then to or for the benefit of one or more of the Participant’s relatives by blood, adoption or marriage in such proportions as the Committee (or its delegate) determines.
  (c)   Death of Beneficiary Prior to Participant’s Death . In the event that the Participant has named multiple Beneficiaries, and one of the Beneficiaries dies before the Participant, the remaining Beneficiaries shall be entitled to the deceased Beneficiary’s share, pro

41


 

      rata in accordance with their share of the Account balance as of the date of the Participant’s death (or such other date as the Committee may determine is administratively practicable), subject to the Participant’s right to change his or her Beneficiary designation at any time in accordance with Subparagraph (a). The Committee reserves the right, on a uniform basis for similarly situated Beneficiaries, to make distribution of a Beneficiary’s Account balance in whole or in part at any time notwithstanding any election to the contrary by the Beneficiary.
 
  (d)   Death of Beneficiary After Participant’s Death . Each Beneficiary, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, may name or designate an individual to receive the Beneficiary’s share of the Account balance (a “Recipient”) any time after the Participant’s death. In the event a Beneficiary dies before complete payment of his or her share of the Account balance, such Beneficiary’s share shall be paid to the Recipient designated by the Beneficiary. If a deceased Beneficiary failed to name or designate a Recipient, if the Beneficiary’s designation is ineffective for any reason, or if the Recipient dies before the Beneficiary or before complete payment of the Beneficiary’s share of the Account balance, the Committee will direct the Trustee to pay the Beneficiary’s share in accordance with the following:
  (i)   To the Beneficiary’s surviving spouse;
 
  (ii)   If the Beneficiary does not have a surviving spouse, to or for the benefit of the legal representative or representatives of the Beneficiary’s estate;
 
  (iii)   If the Beneficiary does not have a surviving spouse and an estate is not opened on behalf of the Beneficiary, to or for the benefit of one or more of the Beneficiary’s relatives by blood, adoption or marriage in such proportions as the Committee (or its delegate) determines.
     Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all payments under this Subparagraph shall comply with the requirements of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code.
10.04 Missing Participants and Beneficiaries
     While a Participant is alive, he or she must file with the Committee from time to time his or her own and each of his or her named Beneficiaries’ post office addresses and each change of post office address. After the Participant’s death, the Participant’s Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall be responsible for filing such information with the Committee. A communication, statement or notice addressed to a Participant or Beneficiary at his or her last post office address filed with the Committee, or if no address is filed with the Committee, then at his or her last post office address as shown on the Employer’s records, will be binding on the Participant and his or her Beneficiary for all purposes of the Plan. Neither the Trustee nor any of the Employers is required to search for or locate a Participant or Beneficiary. If the Committee notifies a Participant or Beneficiary that he or she is entitled to a payment and also notifies him or her of the effect of this Subsection, and the Participant or Beneficiary fails to claim his or her Account balances or make his or her whereabouts known to the Committee within three years after the

42


 

notification, the Account balances of the Participant or Beneficiary may be disposed of in an equitable manner permitted by law under rules adopted by the Committee, including the Forfeiture of such balances, if the value of the Account is equal to or less than the administrative fees, if any, applicable to the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s Account balance pursuant to Subsection 10.01.
10.05 Rollovers
  (a)   General Rule . Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, a Distributee under the Plan who receives an Eligible Rollover Distribution may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Committee, to have any portion of the distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee in a Direct Rollover.
 
  (b)   Non-Spouse Beneficiary Rollovers . To the extent permitted under Section 402(c)(11) of the Code and related regulations and guidance, if a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer is made to an individual retirement plan described in Section 402(c)(8)(B)(i) or (ii) of the Code, which individual retirement plan is established for the purposes of receiving a distribution on behalf of a non-spouse beneficiary (as defined by Section 401(a)(9)(E) of the Code), the transfer shall be treated as an Eligible Rollover Distribution for purposes of the Plan and Section 402(c) of the Code.
 
  (c)   Qualified Rollover Contributions to Roth IRAs . Solely to the extent permitted in Sections 408A(c)(3)(B), (d)(3) and (e) of the Code and the regulations and other guidance issued thereunder, an eligible Distributee may elect to roll over any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution to a Roth IRA (as defined by Section 408A of the Code) in a qualified rollover contribution (as defined in Section 408A(e) of the Code), provided that the requirements of Section 402(c) of the Code are met. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, a Distributee under the Plan who receives an Eligible Rollover Distribution may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Committee, to have any portion of the distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee in a Direct Rollover.
10.06 Forfeitures
     A Forfeiture shall be treated as a separate Account (which is not subject to adjustment under Subsection 8.02) until the next following Accounting Date on which Forfeitures will be allocated. On that date, all Forfeitures arising during the period preceding the Accounting Date which have not been previously allocated shall be allocated among and credited to the Accounts of Participants reemployed to the extent required under Subsection 12.01, shall be used to reduce Employer Matching Contributions required by Subsection 5.03 or any applicable Supplement to the Plan for the current Plan Year or succeeding Plan Years, or shall be used to reduce administrative expenses of the Plan, as determined by the Committee.
     The portion of a Participant’s Annual Company Contribution, Transition Contribution and Matching Contribution Accounts that is not distributable by reason of the provisions of

43


 

Subsection 10.01 shall be credited to a Forfeiture Account established and caused to be maintained by the Trustee in the Participant’s name as of the Accounting Date coincident with or next following his Separation Date (before adjustments then required under the Plan have been made). If the Participant does not return to employment with an Employer or a related Company by the last day of the month following 60 days from his Separation Date or upon the earlier distribution of his or vested Accounts, the balance in his Forfeiture Account (after all adjustments then required under the Plan have been made) will be a Forfeiture.
     If a Participant returns to employment with an Employer or a Related Company before incurring five consecutive One Year Periods of Severance, the amount previously forfeited from his Forfeiture Account, if any, will be restored to his Forfeiture Account out of Forfeitures occurring in the year of restoration or out of a restoration contribution made by the Employer for restoration purposes only.
10.07 Recovery of Benefits
     In the event a Participant or Beneficiary receives a benefit payment under the Plan which is in excess of the benefit payment which should have been made, the Committee shall have the right to recover the amount of such excess from such Participant or Beneficiary on behalf of the Plan, or from the person that received such benefit payments. The Committee may, however, at its option, deduct the amount of such excess from any subsequent benefits payable to, or for, the Participant or Beneficiary.
10.08 Dividend Pass-Through Election
     With respect to a Participant’s interest in the ESOP component of the Plan (as defined in Subsection 1.01 from time to time), each Participant has the right to elect either (a) to have dividends paid on such shares reinvested in shares of Hanesbrands Stock, or (b) to receive a distribution in cash of such dividends in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. To the extent such dividends are reinvested, they shall be 100 percent vested. Such distributions shall be made as soon as administratively practicable following each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 Plan Year quarter, and shall not constitute Eligible Rollover Distributions.
10.09 Minimum Distributions
     Distribution of a Participant’s benefits shall be made or commence by his or her Required Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may establish procedures to begin minimum distribution payments in the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70- 1 / 2 . Distributions to a Participant after his or her Required Commencement Date shall be made in installment payments equal to the minimum amount necessary to meet the requirements of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code. All distributions under the Plan shall comply with the requirements of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the regulations thereunder (including the incidental death benefit requirement in Section 401(a)(9)(G) of the Code), the provisions of which are hereby incorporated by reference, and shall further comply with the rules described below:

44


 

  (a)   The Participant’s Accounts will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the Participant no later than the Participant’s Required Commencement Date. If the Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant’s Accounts will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows:
  (i)   If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, then distributions to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70- 1 / 2 , if later;
 
  (ii)   If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, then distributions to the Designated Beneficiary will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died;
 
  (iii)   If there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death; or
 
  (iv)   If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to the surviving spouse have begun, this Subparagraph (a), other than Subparagraph (i), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.
      For purposes of this Subparagraph (a) and Subparagraph (c), unless Subparagraph (a)(iv) applies, distributions will be considered to have begun on the Participant’s Required Commencement Date. If Subparagraph (a)(iv) applies, distributions will be considered to have begun on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Subparagraph (a)(i). Unless the Participant’s interest is distributed in a single sum on or before the Required Commencement Date, distributions will be made as of the first Distribution Calendar Year in accordance with Subparagraphs (b) and (c) below.
  (b)   Required Minimum Distributions During Participant’s Lifetime . During the Participant’s lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year is the lesser of: (i) the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations, using the Participant’s age as of the Participant’s birthday in the Distribution Calendar Year; or (ii) if the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary for the Distribution Calendar Year is the Participant’s spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations, using the Participant’s and spouse’s attained

      ages as of the Participant’s and spouse’s birthdays in the Distribution Calendar Year. Required minimum distributions will be determined under this Subparagraph (b) beginning with the first Distribution Calendar Year and up to and including the Distribution Calendar Year that includes the Participant’s date of death.
 
  (c)   Required Minimum Distributions After Participant’s Death .
  (i)   Death on or After Date Distributions Begin . In the case of a Participant who dies after the date distributions have begun, the remaining portion of his vested Accounts shall be distributed to the Participant’s Beneficiary at least as rapidly as would have been distributed under the method of distribution in effect on the day of the Participant’s death. If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions have begun and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the longer of the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant or the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary, determined as follows:
  (A)   The Participant’s remaining Life Expectancy is calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year;
 
  (B)   The Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, the remaining Life Expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death using the surviving spouse’s age as of the spouse’s birthday in that year. For Distribution Calendar Years after the year of the surviving spouse’s death, the remaining Life Expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated using the age of the surviving spouse as of the spouse’s birthday in the calendar year of the spouse’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year; and
 
  (C)   The Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, the Designated Beneficiary’s remaining Life Expectancy is calculated using the age of the Beneficiary in the year following the year of the Participant’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.
 
      If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year after the year of the Participant’s death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing

46


 

      the Participant’s Account Balance by the Participant’s remaining Life Expectancy calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.
  (ii)   Death Before Date Distributions Begin . If the Participant dies before the date distributions have begun and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary, determined as provided in Subparagraph (c)(i). If the Participant dies before the date distributions have begun and there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, distribution of the Participant’s entire interest will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death. If the Participant dies before the date distributions have begun, the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, and the surviving spouse dies before distributions are required to have begun to the surviving spouse under Subparagraph (a)(i), this Subparagraph will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.
  (d)   Definitions . For purposes of this Subsection, the following definitions shall apply:
  (i)   “Designated Beneficiary” means the Participant’s Beneficiary who is the designated beneficiary for purposes of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code.
 
  (ii)   “Distribution Calendar Year” means a calendar year for which a minimum distribution is required. For distributions beginning before the Participant’s death, the first Distribution Calendar Year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year that contains the Participant’s Required Commencement Date. For distributions beginning after the Participant’s death, the first Distribution Calendar Year is the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin under Subparagraph (a). The required minimum distribution for the Participant’s first Distribution Calendar Year will be made on or before the Participant’s Required Commencement Date. The required minimum distribution for other Distribution Calendar Years, including the required minimum distribution for the Distribution Calendar Year in which the Participant’s Required Commencement Date occurs, will be made on or before December 31 of that Distribution Calendar Year.
 
  (iii)   “Life Expectancy” means life expectancy as computed by use of the Single Life Table in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations.

47


 

  (iv)   “Participant’s Account Balance” means the balance of the Participant’s Accounts as of the Valuation Calendar Year, increased by the amount of any contributions made and allocated to the Participant’s Accounts as of dates in the Valuation Calendar Year after the valuation date and decreased by distributions made in the Valuation Calendar Year after the valuation date. The balance of the Participant’s Accounts for the Valuation Calendar Year includes any amounts rolled over or transferred to the Plan either in the Valuation Calendar Year or in the Distribution Calendar Year if distributed or transferred in the Valuation Calendar Year.
 
  (v)   “Valuation Calendar Year” means the last valuation date in the calendar year immediately preceding the Distribution Calendar Year.
  (e)   2009 Required Minimum Distributions . Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subsection, a Participant or Beneficiary who would have been required to receive required minimum distributions for 2009 under this Subsection (“2009 RMDs”) but for the enactment of Section 401(a)(9)(H) of the Code will not receive those distributions for 2009. However, a Participant or surviving spouse receiving periodic installments under Subsection 10.01(c)(ii) will receive scheduled installment payments even though all or part of those payments might otherwise be considered 2009 RMDs. Any 2009 RMDs paid pursuant to the preceding sentence may be considered Eligible Rollover Distributions, but shall not be eligible for Direct Rollover.

SECTION 11
Loans and Withdrawals
11.01 Loans to Participants
     While the primary purpose of the Plan is to allow Participants to accumulate funds for retirement, it is recognized that under some circumstances it is in the best interests of Participants to permit loans to be made to them while they continue in the active service of the Employers. Accordingly, the Committee, pursuant to such rules as it may from time to time establish, and upon application by a Participant supported by such evidence as the Committee requests, may direct the Trustee to make a loan from the Participant’s Accounts under the Trust Fund (with the exception of the Participant’s Matching Contribution Account, Annual Company Contribution Account and Transition Contributions Account) to a Participant who is actively at work in the employ of an Employer subject to the following:
  (a)   Amount of loans . The principal amount of any loan made to a Participant shall not be less than $500 and, when added to the outstanding balance of all other loans made to the Participant from all qualified plans maintained by the Employers, shall not exceed the lesser of:
  (i)   $50,000, reduced by the excess (if any) of the highest outstanding balance under the Plan and all other qualified employer plans during the one year period ending on the day before the date of the loan, over the outstanding balance on the date of the loan; or
 
  (ii)   One-half of the Participant’s vested Account balances under the Plan.
  (b)   Terms and conditions of loans . Each loan must be evidenced by a written note in a form approved by the Committee, shall bear interest at a reasonable fixed rate, and shall require substantially level amortization (with payments at least quarterly) over the term of the loan. Interest rates shall be determined monthly and shall be based on the prevailing prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal ; provided, however, that the rate shall not exceed six percent during any period that the Participant is on military leave, in accordance with the Service Members Civil Relief Act (“SCRA”) if the service member provides notification that he or she will be entering military service as required under SCRA.
 
  (c)   Repayment of loans . Each loan for a purpose other than to purchase a principal residence (a “General Purpose Loan”) shall specify a repayment period of not less than six months nor more than five years, unless the proceeds of the loan are used to purchase the Participant’s principal place of residence (a “Principal Residence Loan”), in which case such loan must be repaid within 10 years after the date the loan is made.
 
  (d)   Loans to Participants shall be made as soon as administratively feasible after the Committee has received the Participant’s loan request and such information and

49


 

      documents from the Participant as the Committee shall deem necessary. A Participant’s Accounts may be charged a fee for processing each loan request. The Participant’s loan request shall be made in such manner and in accordance with such rules as the Committee determines. If the Committee determines in its discretion that loan requests under this Subparagraph shall be made in a manner other than in writing, any Participant who makes a request pursuant to such method may receive written confirmation of such request; further, any such request and confirmation shall be the equivalent of a writing for all purposes.
 
  (e)   Each loan shall be secured by a pledge of the Participant’s Accounts (with the exception of the Participant’s Annual Company Contribution Account, Transition Contribution Account, and Matching Contribution Account). A Participant’s Annual Company Contribution Account, Transition Contribution Account and Matching Contribution Account shall be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of the loan available under Subparagraphs 11.01(a)(i) and 11.01(a)(ii), but shall not be available for liquidation and conversion to cash as described in Subparagraph 11.01(f) below.
 
  (f)   A loan granted under this Subsection to a Participant from any Account maintained in his or her name shall be made by liquidating and converting to cash his or her appropriate Accounts, with the exception of his or her Annual Company Contribution Account, Transition Contribution Account and Matching Contribution Account (and the appropriate subaccounts, pro rata, in the various Investment Funds), in such order as shall be determined by the Committee and applied uniformly.
 
  (g)   A Participant may have only two loans outstanding at a time; provided that a Participant may not have two loans of the same type (Principal Residence or General Purpose) outstanding at any given time. A Participant shall not be entitled to take a second loan if the Participant is in default on a prior loan of the same type and has not repaid the defaulted amount to the Plan.
 
  (h)   If, in connection with the granting of a loan to a Participant, a portion or all of any of his or her Accounts has been liquidated, the Committee shall establish temporary “Counterpart Loan Accounts” (not subject to adjustment under Subsection 8.02) corresponding to each such liquidated or partially liquidated Account to reflect the current investment of that Before-Tax Contribution Account or Rollover Contribution Account, for example, in such loan. In general, the initial credit balance in any such Counterpart Loan Account shall be the amount by which the corresponding Account was liquidated in order to make the loan. Interest accruing on such a loan shall be allocated among and credited to the Participant’s Counterpart Loan Accounts established in connection with the loan, in proportion to the then net credit balances in such Counterpart Loan Accounts, as such interest accrues. Each repayment of principal and interest shall be allocated among and charged to such Counterpart Loan Accounts, and shall be allocated among and credited to the corresponding Accounts, on the same proportionate basis; provided that all such repayments shall be credited in

50


 

      accordance with the investment elections in effect on the date each repayment is credited. The Committee may adopt rules and procedures for loan accounting and repayment which differ from the foregoing provisions of this Subparagraph (h), but which are consistent with the general principle that a loan to a Participant under this Subsection constitutes an investment of his or her Accounts rather than a general investment of the Trust Fund. Repayments shall be required to be invested during the month in which received or within such longer period as the Committee may reasonably determine, but in any event within the time required by Subsection 5.01. Any such repayment shall be made by payroll deduction unless otherwise permitted by the Committee.
 
  (i)   The Committee may establish uniform rules to apply where Participants fail to repay any portion of loans made to them pursuant to this Subsection and accrued interest thereon in accordance with the terms of the loans, or where any portion of any loan and accrued interest thereon remains unpaid on a Participant’s Separation Date. To the extent consistent with Internal Revenue Service rules and regulations, such rules may include charging unpaid amounts against a Participant’s Accounts (in such order as the Committee decides), and treating the amounts so charged as a payment to the Participant for purposes of SECTION 10. The Committee may charge a Participant’s Account for reasonable and necessary administrative fees incurred in administering any loan under this Subsection in accordance with uniform rules and procedures applicable to all Participants similarly situated. Loan repayments will be suspended under the Plan as permitted under Section 414(u)(4) of the Code.
 
  (j)   Any loan which was being administered under a Predecessor Plan and which was transferred to this Plan shall be governed by the applicable terms of this Plan on and after the transfer date.
11.02 After-Tax Withdrawals
     A Participant may withdraw all or a portion of his or her After-Tax Account, if any. The timing of such withdrawals shall be established by the Committee.
11.03 Hardship Withdrawals
     In the event a Participant suffers a serious financial hardship, such Participant may withdraw a portion of the vested balance in his or her Accounts (excluding his or her Annual Company Contribution Account, his or her Transition Contribution Account, any portion of his or her Before-Tax Contribution Account attributable to qualified non-elective contributions (if applicable), any portion of his or her Matching Contribution Account attributable to Matching Contributions made on or after February 24, 2009, and any earnings credited to his or her Before-Tax Contribution Account on or after January 1, 1989), provided that the amount of the withdrawal is at least $250.00 and does not exceed the amount required to meet the immediate financial need created by the serious financial hardship. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount required to meet the immediate financial need may include amounts necessary to pay

51


 

Federal, state or local income taxes or penalties that are reasonably anticipated to result from the hardship withdrawal.
  (a)   Immediate and Heavy Need . A hardship shall be deemed on account of immediate and heavy financial need only if the withdrawal is on account of:
  (i)   Tuition, related educational fees, and room and board expenses, for up to the next 12 months of post-secondary education for the Participant or his or her spouse, children or dependents (determined under Section 152 of the Code without regard to Section 152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B));
 
  (ii)   Costs directly related to the purchase of a primary residence for the Participant (not including mortgage payments);
 
  (iii)   Unreimbursed medical expenses that would be deductible by the Participant for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 213 of the Code, and that are incurred by the Participant, the Participant’s spouse or any dependent (as defined in Section 152 of the Code without regard to the change in the definition under the Working Families Tax Relief Act of 2004) including any non-custodial child who is subject to the special rule of Section 152(e) of the Code; or amounts necessary to obtain medical care or medically necessary equipment or services for the Participant, the Participant’s spouse or a dependent described in this Subparagraph (iii);
 
  (iv)   The need to prevent eviction of the Participant from his or her primary residence or foreclosure on the mortgage of the Participant’s principal residence;
 
  (v)   Payment for burial or funeral expenses for the Participant’s deceased parent, spouse, children or dependents (as defined in Section 152 of the Code without regard to Section 152(d)(1)(B)); or
 
  (vi)   Expenses for the repair of damage to the Participant’s principal residence that would qualify for the casualty deduction under Section 165 of the Code (determined without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10 percent of adjusted gross income).
  (b)   Necessary amount . A determination of whether the requirement that the withdrawal not exceed the amount required to meet the immediate financial need created by the serious financial hardship is satisfied shall be made on the basis of all relevant facts and circumstances in a consistent and nondiscriminatory manner; provided, however, that the Participant must provide the Committee with a statement on which the Committee may reasonably rely, unless it has actual knowledge to the contrary, certifying that the Participant’s financial need cannot be relieved by all of the following means:

52


 

  (i)   Through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise,
 
  (ii)   By reasonable liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause an immediate and heavy financial need,
 
  (iii)   By cessation of elective contributions under this Plan, or other distributions from this Plan, and
 
  (iv)   By other distributions, such as the distribution of dividends which are currently available to the Participant, or nontaxable (at the time of the loan) loans from Plans maintained by the Employer or by any other employer, or by borrowing from commercial sources on reasonable commercial terms.
      For purposes of this Subsection, the Participant’s resources shall be deemed to include those assets of his or her spouse and minor children that are reasonably available to the Participant. Property owned by the Participant and the Participant’s spouse, whether as community property, joint tenants, tenants by the entirety, or tenants in common, will be deemed a resource of the Participant. However, property held for the Participant’s child under an irrevocable trust or under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act will not be treated as a resource of the Participant.
  (c)   A Participant may not request more than two withdrawals per calendar year under this Subsection.
 
  (d)   To obtain a hardship withdrawal, a Participant must submit his withdrawal request in accordance with procedures and within such time periods as may be determined by the Committee. Hardship withdrawals shall be made as soon as administratively feasible after the Committee has received the Participant’s withdrawal request and such information and documents from the Participant as the Committee shall deem necessary.
11.04 Age 59- 1 / 2 Withdrawals
     Upon making an application to the Committee, a Participant who has attained the age of 59- 1 / 2 may withdraw part or all of his or her vested Account balances (excluding his or her Annual Company Contribution Account and his or her Transition Contribution Account). The form and timing of such applications and withdrawals shall be established by the Committee.
11.05 Additional Rules for Withdrawals
     Withdrawals made pursuant to Subsections 11.02, 11.03 and 11.04 shall be made in cash and shall be charged to the Participant’s vested Accounts (if applicable) in such order as shall be determined by the Committee and applied uniformly. Requests for a withdrawal shall be made in such manner and in accordance with such rules as the Committee determines. If the

53


 

Committee determines in its discretion that a withdrawal under this Subsection shall be made in a manner other than in writing, any Participant who makes a request pursuant to such method may receive written confirmation of such request; further, any such request and confirmation shall be the equivalent of a writing for all purposes.

54


 

SECTION 12
Reemployment
12.01 Reemployed Participants
     Except as provided below, if a Participant is reemployed by an Employer following a termination of employment, such Participant shall resume participation in the Plan for all purposes on the first day of the first payroll period following his rehire date that he is a member of a Covered Group. If a former Employee or Eligible Employee is reemployed by an Employer, Service he or she had accrued prior to his or her termination of employment will be reinstated for purposes of determining his or her eligibility to participate in the Plan, and he or she shall become eligible to participate in the Plan in accordance with the provisions of Subsection 3.01.
12.02 Calculation of Service Upon Reemployment
  (a)   Reemployment with Vested Interest in Plan Accounts . If at the time the Participant terminated employment, he or she had either (A) a vested interest in his or her Before-Tax Contribution Account, Annual Company Contribution Account, Transition Contribution Account, Matching Contribution Account or Predecessor Company Account, or (B) amounts credited to his or her Before-Tax Contribution Account, the following rules shall apply:
  (i)   If the Participant is reemployed by a Controlled Group Member before he or she incurs five consecutive One Year Periods of Severance, the Participant may repay to the Trustee, within five years of his or her Reemployment Date, the total amount previously distributed to him or her from his or her Plan Accounts subject to vesting as a result of his or her earlier termination of employment. If a Participant makes such a repayment to the Trustee, both the amount of the repayment and the Forfeiture that resulted from the previous termination of employment shall be credited to his or her Accounts as of the Accounting Date coincident with or next following the date of repayment and he or she shall continue to vest in such amounts in accordance with the vesting schedule in effect at the Participant’s reemployment. In any event, the Participant’s pre-break Service shall be restored.
 
  (ii)   If a Participant is reemployed by a Controlled Group Member on or after he or she incurs five consecutive One Year Periods of Severance, his or her pre-break Service shall count as Service for purposes of vesting in amounts credited to his or her Annual Company Contribution Account, Transition Contribution Account, Matching Contribution Account or Predecessor Company Account, as applicable, on or after such reemployment. However, pre-break Forfeitures will not be restored to such Participant’s Accounts and such Participant’s post-break Service

55


 

      shall be disregarded for purposes of vesting in his or her pre-break Annual Company Contribution Account, Transition Contribution Account, Matching Contribution Account or Predecessor Company Account, as applicable.
  (b)   Reemployment with No Vested Interest in Plan Accounts . If at the time the Participant terminated employment, he or she did not have either (A) a vested interest in his or her Annual Company Contribution Account, Transition Contribution Account, Matching Contribution Account, or Predecessor Company Account, or (B) amounts credited to his or her Before-Tax Contribution Account, the following rules shall apply:
  (i)   If the Participant is reemployed by a Controlled Group Member before he or she incurs five consecutive One Year Periods of Severance, the amount of the Forfeiture that resulted from the previous termination of employment shall be credited to his or her Accounts as of the Accounting Date coincident with or next following the date of his or her reemployment or as soon as administrative feasible thereafter and he or she shall continue to vest in such amounts. In addition, the Participant’s pre-break Service shall be restored.
 
  (ii)   If the Participant is reemployed by a Controlled Group Member before he or she incurs five consecutive One Year Periods of Severance, pre-break Forfeitures shall not be restored to his or her Accounts. In addition, if the Participant’s number of consecutive One Year Periods of Severance exceeds the greater of five of the aggregate number of such Participant’s pre-break Service, such pre-break Service shall be disregarded for purposes of vesting in amounts credited to his or her Employer Contribution Accounts after such employment.
  (c)   Forfeitures . Forfeitures that are credited to a Participant’s Accounts under this Subsection shall be allocated from amounts forfeited under Subsection 10.01 or the applicable Supplement or, in the absence of such amounts, shall reduce income and gains of the Fund to be credited under Subsection 8.02.
 
  (d)   Transferred Participants . Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, all service of a Transferred Participant that was recognized under the Sara Lee Plan as of the July 24, 2006 (or as of a subsequent transfer of employment described in Subparagraph 2.63(b), if applicable) shall be recognized and taken into account under the Plan to the same extent as if such service had been completed under the Plan, subject to the provisions of this Section and any applicable break in service rules under this Plan and the Sara Lee Plan.
 
  (e)   Former NTX and Sara Lee Employees . If an individual (i) was previously employed by the Sara Lee Corporation (referred to as the “prior employers” for purposes of this Subparagraph), and (ii) subsequently becomes an Employee of an Employer or a Controlled Group Member; all of the individual’s service with the prior employers

56


 

      shall be recognized and taken into account under the Plan to the same extent as of such service had been completed under the Plan, subject to the provisions of this Section and any applicable break in service rules under the applicable prior employer’s plans.

57


 

SECTION 13
Top-Heavy Rules
13.01 Purpose and Effect
     The purpose of this SECTION 13 is to comply with the requirements of Section 416 of the Code. The provisions of this SECTION 13 shall be effective for each Plan Year in which the Plan is a “Top-Heavy Plan” within the meaning of Section 416(g) of the Code.
13.02 Top Heavy Plan
     In general, the Plan will be a Top-Heavy Plan for any Plan Year if, as of the last day of the preceding Plan Year (the “Determination Date”), the aggregate Account balances of Participants in this Plan who are Key Employees (as defined in Section 416(i)(1) of the Code) exceed 60 percent of the aggregate Account balances of all Participants in the Plan. In making the foregoing determination, the following special rules shall apply:
  (a)   A Participant’s Account balance shall be increased by the aggregate distributions, if any, made with respect to the Participant during the one year period ending on the Determination Date (including distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with this Plan under Section 416(g)(2)(A)(i) of the Code). In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death or Total Disability, the one year period shall be replaced with a five year period.
 
  (b)   The Account balance of, and distributions to, a Participant who was previously a Key Employee, but who is no longer a Key Employee, shall be disregarded.
 
  (c)   The Account of a Beneficiary of a Participant shall be considered the Account of a Participant.
 
  (d)   The Account balances of a Participant who did not perform any services for the Employers during the one year period ending on the Determination Date shall be disregarded.
13.03 Key Employee
     In general, a “Key Employee” is an Employee who, at any time during the Plan Year that includes the Determination Date was:
  (a)   An officer of an Employer receiving annual Compensation greater than $160,000 (as adjusted under Section 416(i)(l) of the Code);
 
  (b)   A five percent owner of an Employer; or

58


 

  (c)   A one percent owner of an Employer receiving annual Compensation from any of the Employers and the Controlled Group Members of more than $150,000.
A “Non-Key Employee” is an Employee who is not a Key Employee, including an Employee who was formerly a Key Employee.
13.04 Minimum Employer Contribution
     For any Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, an Employer’s contribution, if any, credited to each Participant who is a Non-Key Employee shall not be less than three percent of such Participant’s Compensation for that year. For purposes of the foregoing, contributions under Subsection 5.01 shall not be considered Employer contributions. In no event, however, shall an Employer contribution credited in any year to a Participant who is a Non-Key Employee (expressed as a percentage of such Participant’s Compensation) exceed the maximum Employer contribution credited in that year to a Key Employee (expressed as a percentage of such Key Employee’s Compensation). The minimum Employer contribution shall be made even though, under other Plan provisions, the Participant would not otherwise be entitled to receive an allocation, or would have received a lesser allocation for the Plan Year because of (i) the Participant’s failure to complete 1,000 Hours of Service, or (ii) the Participant’s Compensation being less than a stated amount. The foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Participant who was not employed by an Employer on the last day of the Plan Year.
13.05 Aggregation of Plans
     Each other defined contribution plan and defined benefit plan maintained by the Employers that covers a “Key Employee” as a Participant at any time during the Plan Year containing the Determination Date or any of the four preceding Plan Years (regardless of whether the Plan has been terminated), or that is maintained by the Employers in order for a Plan covering a Key Employee to qualify under Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code shall be aggregated with this Plan in determining whether this Plan is Top-Heavy. In addition, any other defined contribution or defined benefit plan of the Employers may be included if all such plans which are included when aggregated will continue to qualify under Section 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code.
13.06 No Duplication of Benefits
     If an Employer maintains more than one plan, the minimum Employer contribution otherwise required under Subsection 13.04 above may be reduced in accordance with regulations of the Secretary of the Treasury to prevent inappropriate duplications of minimum contributions or benefits. For any Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, a Participant who (a) is not a Key Employee, and (b) is a Participant in a defined benefit plan maintained by the Employers shall have the minimum retirement benefit provided under that defined benefit plan with an offset for benefits provided by this Plan.

59


 

13.07 Compensation
     For purposes of this SECTION 13, “Compensation” shall mean compensation as defined in Subsection 6.05 of the Plan.

60


 

SECTION 14
General Provisions
14.01 Committee’s Records
     The records of the Committee as to an Employee’s age, Separation Date, Leave of Absence, reemployment and Compensation will be conclusive on all persons unless determined to the Committee’s satisfaction to be incorrect.
14.02 Information Furnished by Participants
     Participants and their Beneficiaries must furnish to the Committee such evidence, data or information as the Committee considers desirable to carry out the Plan. The benefits of the Plan for each person are on the condition that he or she furnish promptly true and complete evidence, data and information requested by the Committee.
14.03 Interests Not Transferable
     Except as otherwise provided in Subsection 14.04 and as may be required by application of the tax withholding provisions of the Code or of a state’s income tax act, benefits under the Plan are not in any way subject to the debts or other obligations of the persons entitled to such benefits and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily sold, transferred, alienated, assigned, or encumbered.
14.04 Domestic Relations Orders
     If the Committee receives a domestic relations order issued by a court pursuant to a state’s domestic relations law, the Committee will direct the Trustee to make such payment of the Participant’s vested benefits to an Alternate Payee or Payees as such order specifies, provided the Committee first determines that such order is a qualified domestic relations order (“QDRO”) within the meaning of Section 414(p) of the Code. The Committee will establish reasonable procedures for determining whether or not a domestic relations order is a QDRO. Upon receiving a domestic relations order, the Committee shall promptly notify the Participant and any Alternate Payee named in the order that the Committee has received the order and any procedures for determining whether the order is a QDRO. If, within 18 months after receiving the order, the Committee makes a determination that the order is a QDRO, any direction to the Trustee to pay the benefits to an Alternate Payee as specified in the QDRO will include a direction to pay any amounts that were to be paid during the period prior to the date the Committee determines that the order is a QDRO. If during the 18 month period the Committee determines that the order is not a QDRO or no determination is made with respect to whether the order is a QDRO, the Committee will direct the Trustee to pay the amounts that would have been paid to the Alternate Payee pursuant to the terms of the order to the Participant if such amounts otherwise would have been payable to the Participant under the terms of the Plan. The Committee in its discretion may maintain an Account for an Alternate Payee to which any amount that is to be paid to such Alternate Payee from a Participant’s Accounts will be credited.

61


 

The Alternate Payee for whom such Account is maintained may exercise the same elections with respect to the fund or funds in which the Account will be invested as would be permissible for a Participant in the Plan. Further, the Alternate Payee may name a Beneficiary, in the manner provided in Subsection 10.03 to whom the balance in the Account is to be paid in the event the Alternate Payee should die before complete payment of the Account has been made. Distribution of the Alternate Payee’s Account shall be made in accordance with Subsections 10.01 and 10.02, and the Alternate Payee may exercise the same elections with respect to requesting a distribution or partial distribution of his or her Account as would be permissible for a Participant in the Plan; provided that the Alternate Payee’s Required Commencement Date shall be the date on which the Participant attains (or, in the event of the Participant’s death, would have attained) the Participant’s Required Commencement Date. The Committee may direct the Trustee to distribute benefits to an Alternate Payee on the earliest date specified in a QDRO, without regard to whether such distribution is made or commences prior to the Participant’s earliest retirement age (as defined in Section 414(p)(4)(B) of the Code) or the earliest date that the Participant could commence receiving benefits under the Plan.
14.05 Facility of Payment
     When, in the Committee’s opinion, a Participant or Beneficiary is under a legal disability or is incapacitated in any way so as to be unable to manage his or her financial affairs, the Committee may direct the Trustee to make payments to his or her legal representative, or to a relative or friend of the Participant or Beneficiary for his or her benefit, or the Committee may direct the Trustee to apply the payment for the benefit of the Participant or Beneficiary in any way the Committee considers advisable.
14.06 No Guaranty of Interests

  (c)   The dissolution, merger, consolidation or reorganization of that Employer, or the sale by that Employer of all or substantially all of its assets; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing events, arrangements may be made whereby the Plan will be continued by a successor to such Employer, in which case the successor will be substituted for such Employer under the Plan.
15.03 Effect of Termination
     On termination or partial termination of the Plan, the date of termination will be an Accounting Date, and, after all adjustments then required have been made, each Participant’s Account balance will be vested in him or her and distributed to him or her by one or more of the methods described in Subsection 10.01 as the Committee decides.

65


 

15.05 Plan Merger, Consolidation, Etc.

SUPPLEMENT A
TO
HANESBRANDS INC.
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN OF 2006
US PROGRAM
     1.  Purpose . The purpose of this Supplement A to the Hanesbrands Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan of 2006 is to modify and further specify the terms and conditions of the Plan as applied to employees in the United States ( the US Program ”). The US Program is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan under section 423 of the Code. Any defined term not defined in this Supplement A shall be defined pursuant to the Plan .
     2.  Contributions . An Eligible Employee may participate in the US Program at any time by completing and filing with the Administrator an Authorization Form . The Committee , in its discretion, may establish a minimum or maximum deduction per payroll period. A Participant’s deductions will commence as soon as administratively possible during the next succeeding Offering Period after the Participant’s Authorization Form is filed with the Administrator and recorded. The deductions shall continue until the Participant terminates participation in the US Program or until the US Program is terminated. Subject to the minimum and maximum deductions set forth in the Plan and this US Program , a Participant may change the amount of his or her payroll deduction no more than four times in each calendar year by filing a new Authorization Form with the Administrator . The election made on the most recent Authorization Form filed with the Administrator at the end of each Offering Period will be the payroll deduction election recorded. Each such change shall become effective as soon as administratively possible during the next succeeding (or designated future) Offering Period after the Participant’s Authorization Form is received and recorded by the Administrator . Payroll deductions will be held in the Corporation or Participating Subsidiary’s general accounts until after the end of the Offering Period at which time they will be applied solely for the purchase of Shares under the US Program. Participants will receive periodic statements of their Plan Account balances.
     3.  Share Purchases. On each Exercise Date , each Participant’s Plan Account shall be charged for the amount of the Shares to be purchased on that date. The number of Shares to

A-1


 

be purchased on an Exercise Date shall be determined by dividing the balance of the Participant’s Plan Account (including any balance in the Participant’s Plan Account after the immediately prior Exercise Date ) by the Exercise Price , and then rounding downward to the nearest whole Share . No fractional Shares shall be purchased, and any balance remaining in the Participant’s Plan Account after the Shares have been purchased on the Exercise Date shall be carried forward to the next succeeding Offering Period . As soon as practicable after the Exercise Date , a statement shall be delivered to the Participant which shall include the number of Shares purchased on the Exercise Date and the aggregate number of Shares purchased on behalf of such Participant under the US Program. Share ownership shall be kept electronically in the name of the Participant .
     4.  Ceasing Contributions/Rights of Participants Who Leave Service. A Participant whose participation in the US Program has terminated (either upon the Participant’s request or upon the Participant’s termination of employment for any reason) may not rejoin the US Program until the third succeeding Offering Period following the date of such termination.
     5.  Contracts of Employment and Other Employment Rights. The US Program may be terminated at any time at the discretion of the Corporation and no compensation will be due to a Participant as a result. Neither the value of the Shares nor the discount derived from the Purchase Price shall be added to a Participant’s income for the purpose of calculating any employee benefits. No additional rights arise to a Participant as a result of participating in the US Program or the opportunity to participate. Participation in the US Program does not confer on any Participant any right to future employment. Participation in the US Program is at the discretion of Eligible Employees. No representation or warranty is given by the Corporation or Participating Subsidiaries as to the present or future benefit of participation in the US Program. If a Corporation or a Participating Subsidiary ceases participation in the US Program or the Corporation ceases operation of the Plan , employees will have no right or action against the Participating Subsidiary , the Committee or the Corporation for such termination.
     6.  Administration.
  (a)   The Committee (or its delegate(s)) will be responsible for:

A-2
