 The purpose of the Plan is to permit Eligible Employees of Hanesbrands Inc. (the “Company”) and the other Employers to accumulate their retirement savings on a tax-favored basis. A portion of the Plan (that
portion of the Plan invested in the Sara Lee Corporation Common Stock Fund prior to the Spin-Off date and that portion of the Plan invested in the Hanesbrands Inc. Common Stock Fund thereafter) is designed to invest primarily in qualifying employer
securities and is intended to satisfy the requirements of an employee stock ownership plan (as defined in Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code) (the ESOP component); up to 100% of Plan assets may be invested in qualifying employer securities. The
remaining portion of the Plan is a profit sharing plan intended to satisfy all requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code and includes a cash or deferred arrangement intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Code (the
401(k) component). 
 As of the Effective Date, the benefits of each Transferred Participant shall be transferred from the Sara Lee Plan, and
continued in the form of, the Plan. As soon as administratively practicable on or after the Effective Date, (i) liabilities equal to the aggregate Account balances, as adjusted through the Effective Date, of each Transferred Participant shall
be transferred from the Sara Lee Plan to the Plan and credited to the appropriate Plan accounts of each Transferred Participant and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, and (ii) the assets of the trust funding the Sara Lee Plan
attributable to Transfer Participants’ benefits shall be transferred (in kind) to the Trustee of the Trust. The transfer of the Transferred Participants’ benefits from the Sara Lee Plan into the Plan and the transfer of assets to the Trust

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.

 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 fifteenth (15th) business day of the next following
month, and allocated to Participants’ Current Year Before-Tax Contribution Subaccounts. 
 5.02 Annual Company Contribution 
 For each Plan Year ending after the Effective Date, the Employers shall contribute to the Plan as follows: 
  

	 	(i)	For Participants who are exempt and non-exempt salaried employees, an amount equal to four percent (4%) of such Participants’ Compensation for that portion of the Plan
Year during which he or she was a salaried employee and a Participant in the Plan. 

  

	 	(ii)	For Participants who are hourly, non-union employees or are New York based sample department union Employees, an amount determined by the Company each year in its discretion, which
amount shall not be in excess of two percent (2%) of such 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject
to the conditions and limitations of the Plan, for that portion of the first Plan Year ending December 31, 2006 that precedes the Spin-Off Date, the Annual Company Contribution under this Subparagraph 5.02(b) shall be equal to two percent
(2%) of each such eligible Participant’s Compensation for that portion of thesuch Plan Year. 

  

 29 








 5.03 The Annual Company Contributions under this Subsection 5.02 will be funded in cash and shall be invested in
accordance with a Participant’s investment elections. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participants shall be eligible to receive a contribution under this Subsection only if they are employed with the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year, or
if their employment ended during the plan year as a result of retirement (Separation Date after age fifty-five (55) with ten (10) Years of Service, or after age sixty-five (65)), death or Total Disability. Matching Contributions

  

	 	(a)	For each payroll period commencing on or after the Effective Date (or such other period as the Committee may establish), the Employers will make a monthly Matching Contribution to
the Trustee for each pay date on behalf of each Participant equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Participant’s Before-Tax Contributions (excluding Catch-Up Contributions) made during such period or that could have been made during
such period (based on the Participant’s deferral election in place during such period but for the limitations of Subsection 4.01) that do not exceed four percent (4%) of such Participant’s Compensation. 

  

	 	(b)	As of the end of each Plan Year, a “true up” Matching Contribution for each Participant who did not receive the full Matching Contribution under Subparagraph (a), as
applicable, for the Plan Year based on the amount of his or her Before-Tax Contributions (excluding Catch-Up Contributions) for such Plan Year. Such true up Matching Contribution will be equal to the difference between the Matching Contribution
actually made on behalf of such Participant for the Plan Year under Subparagraph (a), as applicable, and the full Matching Contribution that the Participant would have been entitled to receive under Subparagraph (a), as applicable, for the Plan Year
if such Matching Contributions were determined as of the end of the Plan Year (instead of each payroll period). 

  

 30 








 Matching Contributions shall be made in cash and will be invested in accordance with each Participant’s current
investment election. 
 5.04 Transition Contribution 
 Subject to the conditions and limitations of the Plan, solely for the Plan Year ending on December 31, 2006, for any Participant who, on January 1, 2006:

(10) Years of Service, or after age sixty-five (65)), death or Total Disability. 
 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. 
  

 31 








 5.06 Payment of Matching Contributions 
 Matching Contributions under Subparagraph 5.03(a) of the Plan for any Plan Year shall be made each calendar month based on the Matchable Before-Tax

 5.07 Allocation of Matching Contributions 
 Subject to Subsections 6.02 and 6.05, as of the end of each calendar month (or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter), the Matching Contribution under Subparagraph 5.03(a) for each payroll period shall be allocated and credited

the Participants’ Current Year Before-Tax Contribution Subaccount as of such Accounting Date. Matching Contributions under Subparagraph 5.03(b) of the Plan for any Plan Year shall be similarly allocated and credited as soon as practicable after
the end of the Plan Year. 
 5.08 Payment of Employer Contributions 
 In no event shall any Employer Contribution required to be made to the Plan for any Plan Year under this SECTION 5 be contributed later than the time prescribed by law for filing the Employer’s federal income tax
return for such year, including extensions thereof. 
 5.09 Limitations on Employer Contributions 
 The Employers’ total contribution for a Plan Year is conditioned on its deductibility under Section 404 of the Code in that year, and shall
comply with the contribution limitations set forth in Subsection 6.05 and the allocation limitations contained in Subsections 6.01 and 5.05 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. 
  

 32 








 5.10 Verification of Employer Contributions 
 If for any reason the Employer decides to verify the correctness of any amount or calculation relating to its contribution for any Plan Year, the
certificate of an independent accountant selected by the Employer as to the correctness of any such amount or calculation shall be conclusive on all persons. 
  

 33 








 SECTION 6 
 Contribution Limits 
 6.01 Actual Deferral Percentage Limitations 
 In no event shall the Actual Deferral Percentage of the Highly Compensated Employees for any Plan Year exceed the greater of the: 
  

	 	(a)	Actual Deferral Percentage of all other Eligible Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or 

  

	 	(b)	Actual Deferral Percentage of all other Eligible Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by 2.0; provided that the Actual Deferral Percentage of the Highly Compensated Employees does
not exceed that of all other Eligible Employees by more than two (2) percentage points. 

 From time to time during the Plan Year, the
Committee shall determine whether the limitation of this Subsection will be satisfied and, to the extent necessary to ensure compliance with such limitation, may limit the Before-Tax Contributions to be withheld on behalf of Highly Compensated
Employees or may refund Before-Tax Contributions previously withheld. If, at the end of the Plan Year, the limitation of this Subsection is not satisfied, the Committee shall refund Before-Tax Contributions previously withheld on
behalf of Highly Compensated Employees. If Before-Tax Contributions made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees must be refunded to satisfy the limitation of this Subsection, the Committee shall determine the amount of Excess Contributions and
shall refund such amount on the basis of the Highly Compensated Employees’ contribution amounts, beginning with the highest such contribution amounts. Excess Contributions previously withheld (and any income allocable thereto determined in
accordance with Subsection 6.04) may be distributed within two and one-half (2 1/2) months after the close of the
Plan Year to which such Excess Contributions relate, but in any event no later than the end of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which such Excess Contributions were made. Matching Contributions attributable to Excess Contributions shall be
treated as Forfeitures under Subsection 10.06. 
  

 34 








 6.02 Limitation on Matching Contributions 
 In no event shall the Contribution Percentage of the Highly Compensated Employees for any Plan Year exceed the greater of the: 
  

	 	(a)	Contribution Percentage of all other Eligible Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or 

  

	 	(b)	Contribution Percentage of all other Eligible Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by two (2.0); provided that the Contribution Percentage of such Highly Compensated Employees
does not exceed that of all other Participants by more than two (2) percentage points. 

 From time to time during the Plan Year, the
Committee shall determine whether the limitation of this Subsection will be satisfied and, to the extent necessary to ensure compliance with such limitation, shall refund a portion of the Matching Contributions previously credited to Highly
Compensated Employees. If Matching Contributions made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees must be refunded to satisfy the limitation of this Subsection, the Committee shall determine the amount of Excess Matching Contributions and shall refund
such amount on the basis of the Highly Compensated Employees’ contribution amounts, beginning with the highest such contribution amounts. At the Committee’s discretion, if the Excess Matching Contributions are attributable to non-vested
Matching Contributions, such Excess Matching Contributions may be forfeited in accordance with Subsection 10.06 and applied in the same manner as any other Forfeiture under the Plan. Excess Matching Contributions previously credited (and any income
allocable thereto determined in accordance with Subsection 6.04) may be distributed or forfeited within twelve (12) months after the close of the Plan Year to which such Excess Matching Contributions relate, but in any event no later than the
end of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which such Excess Matching Contributions were made. 
 6.03 Dollar Limitation 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection 6.01, no Participant shall make a Before-Tax Contribution election which will result in his or her Elective
Deferrals for any calendar year 
  

 35 








 exceeding $15,000 (or such greater amount as may be prescribed by the Secretary of Treasury to take into account
cost-of-living increases pursuant to Code Section 402(g)), except to the extent permitted with respect to Catch-Up Contributions, if applicable. If a Participant’s total Elective Deferrals under this Plan and any other plan of another
employer for any calendar year exceed the annual dollar limit prescribed above, the Participant may notify the Committee, in writing on or before March 1 of the next following calendar year, of his or her election to have all or a portion of
such Excess Deferrals (and the income allocable thereto determined in accordance with Subsection 6.04) allocated under this Plan and distributed in accordance with this Subsection. In such event, or in the event that the Committee otherwise becomes
aware of any Excess Deferrals, the Committee shall, without regard to any other provision of the Plan, direct the Trustee to distribute to the Participant by the following April 15 the Participant’s Excess Deferrals (and any income
attributable thereto determined in accordance with Subsection 6.04) so allocated under the Plan. Distributions to be made in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be made as soon as is practicable following receipt by the Committee of written
notification of Excess Deferrals, and the Committee shall make every effort to meet the April 15 distribution deadline for all written notifications received by the preceding March 1. 
 The amount of such Excess Deferrals distributed to a Participant in accordance with this Subsection shall be treated as a contribution for purposes of
the limitations referred to under Subsection 6.05, and shall continue to be treated as Before-Tax Contributions for purposes of the Actual Deferral Percentage test described in Subsection 6.01; however, Excess Deferrals by non-Highly Compensated
Employees shall not be taken into account under Subsection 6.01 to the extent such Excess Deferrals are made under this Plan or any other plan maintained by an Employer or Controlled Group Member. In addition, any Matching Contributions attributable
to amounts distributed under this Subsection (and any income allocable thereto determined in accordance with Subsection 6.04) shall be forfeited in accordance with Subsection 10.06. 
  

 36 








 6.04 Allocation of Earnings to Distributions of Excess Deferrals, Excess Contributions and Excess Matching
Contributions 
 The earnings allocable to distributions of Excess Deferrals under Subsection 6.03, Excess Contributions under Subsection
6.01, and Excess Matching Contributions under Subsection 6.02 shall be determined by multiplying the earnings attributable to the applicable excess amounts (for the calendar and/or Plan Year, whichever is applicable) by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the applicable excess amount, and the denominator of which is the balance attributable to such contributions in the Participant’s Account or Accounts, as of the beginning of such year, plus the contributions allocated to the applicable
account for such year. Gap period income (i.e., income allocable to Excess Contributions and Excess Matching Contributions for the period after the close of the Plan Year and prior to the distribution) shall be allocated as described in
Treasury Regulation Sections 1.401(k)-2(b)(2)(iv) and 1.401(m)-2(b)(iv). Gap period income (i.e., income allocable to Excess Deferrals, Excess Contributions and Excess Matching Contributions for the period after the close of the Plan
Year and prior to the distribution) shall be allocated as described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.402(g)-1(e)(5), 1.401(k)-2(b)(2)(iv) and 1.401(m)-2(b)(2)(iv), respectively. 
 6.05 Contribution Limitations 
 For each Limitation Year, the Annual Addition to a Participant’s
Accounts under the Plan and under any other defined contribution plan maintained by any Employer shall not exceed the lesser of $44,000 (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Code Section 415(d)) or one hundred percent (100%) of the
Participant’s Compensation (within the meaning of Code Section 415(c)(3)) during that Limitation Year. The compensation limit referred to in the preceding sentence shall not apply to any contribution for medical benefits after separation
from service (within the meaning of Code Section 401(h) or Code Section 419A(f)(2)) that is otherwise treated as an Annual Addition. Direct transfers and Rollover Contributions accepted by the Trustee pursuant to Subsection 4.04 shall not
be considered as part of any Annual Addition. If, for any Limitation Year, the amount that would otherwise be credited to a Participant’s Account exceeds the foregoing limitations, the Committee may elect that (a) all or a portion of the

  

 37 








 Participant’s Before-Tax Contributions for that Limitation Year, and any earnings attributable to such
contributions, may be returned to the Participant; (b) such excess amounts may be held in a suspense account under the Plan and credited to the Participant’s Account in subsequent years; or (c) any other correction method permitted
under Treasury Regulation Section 1.415-6(b)(6) may be utilized to eliminate the excess amount; provided that the Committee shall make such election in a consistent and nondiscriminatory manner in any Limitation Year. 
  

 38 








 SECTION 7 
 Period of Participation 
 7.01 Separation Date 
 If a Participant is transferred from employment with an Employer to employment with a Controlled Group Member (other than an Employer), then, for the
purpose of determining when his or her Separation Date occurs under this Subsection, his or her employment with such Controlled Group Member (or any Controlled Group Member to which he or she is subsequently transferred) shall be considered as
employment with the Employers. 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 
 When payment of all of
a Participant’s Account balances is not made at his or her Separation Date, or if a Participant transfers to the employ of a Controlled Group Member which is not an Employer or continues in the employ of an Employer but ceases to be employed in
a Covered Group, the Participant or his or her Beneficiary will continue to be considered as a Participant for all purposes of the Plan, except as follows: 
  

	 	(a)	He or she will not make any Before-Tax Contributions, and his or her Employer will not make any Employer Contributions on his or her behalf, for any period beginning after his or
her Separation Date occurs or for any subsequent Plan Year unless he or she is reemployed and again becomes a Participant in the Plan; provided, however, that his or her Employer shall contribute: 

  

	 	(i)	His or her Before-Tax Contributions as provided in Subsection 5.01; and 

  

 39 









	 	(ii)	If applicable, an Annual Company Contribution and/or an Transition Contribution for the Plan Year in which his or her Separation Date occurs, based on his or her Compensation for
the portion of the Plan Year in which he or she was a Participant eligible for such contributions. 

  

	 	(b)	He or she will not make any Before-Tax Contributions, and his or her Employer will not make any Employer Contributions on his or her behalf, for any period in which he or she is in
the employ of an Employer but is not an Eligible Employee. 

  

	 	(c)	He or she will not make any Before-Tax Contributions, and his or her Employer will not make any Employer Contributions on his or her behalf, for any period in which he or she is
employed by a Controlled Group Member that is not an Employer under the Plan. 

  

	 	(d)	The Participant may not apply for loans under Subsection 11.01. 

  

	 	(e)	A Participant whose Separation Date occurs, or a Beneficiary or Alternate Payee of a Participant, may not apply for a withdrawal under SECTION 11. 

  

 40 








 SECTION 8 
 Accounting 
 8.01 Separate Accounts 
 The Committee will maintain the following Accounts in the name of each Participant: 
  

	 	(a)	A “Before-Tax Contribution Account,” which will reflect his or her Before-Tax Contributions, if any, made under the Plan, and the income, losses, appreciation and
depreciation attributable thereto. This Account shall include a “Current Year Before-Tax Contribution Subaccount,” which will reflect only the Before-Tax Contributions made by the Participant during the current Plan Year.


  

	 	(b)	A “Matching Contribution Account,” which will reflect his or her share of Matching Contributions, if any, made under the Plan, and the income, losses, appreciation and
depreciation attributable thereto. This Account shall include a “Current Year Matching Contribution Subaccount,” which will reflect only the Matching Contributions allocated to the Participant during the current Plan Year.


  

	 	(c)	An “Annual Company Contribution Account,” which will reflect his or her share of the Annual Company Contributions under the Plan, and the income, losses, appreciation and
depreciation attributable thereto. This Account shall include a “Current Year Annual Company Contribution Subaccount,” which will reflect only the Annual Company Contributions allocated to the Participant during the current Plan Year.


  

	 	(d)	An “After-Tax Account,” which will reflect his or her after-tax contributions, and the income, losses, appreciation and depreciation attributable to all after-tax
contributions made to the Plan or a Predecessor Plan. 

  

 41 









	 	(e)	A “Rollover Contribution Account,” which will reflect his or her Rollover Contributions to the Plan, and the income, losses, appreciation and depreciation attributable
thereto. 

  

	 	(f)	A “Predecessor Company Account,” which will reflect the contributions made by a Participant, or on his or her behalf, under a Predecessor Plan, and the income, losses,
appreciation and depreciation attributable thereto. 

 8.02 Adjustment of Participants’ Accounts 
 As of each Accounting Date, the Accounts of Participants shall be adjusted to reflect the following: 
  

	 	(a)	Transfers, if any, made between Investment Funds; 

  

	 	(b)	Before-Tax Contributions, Employer Contributions and Rollover Contributions, if any, and payments of principal and interest on any loans made from a Participant’s Account;


  

	 	(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 
  

 42 








 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 Sara Lee Corporation Common Stock Fund or 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 fund; and (iii) allocating shares of Sara Lee Stock or Hanesbrands Stock to
Participants’ subaccounts based on the average purchase price per share purchased by the Trustee during such accounting period. 
 8.03 Crediting of
401(k) Contributions 
 Subject to the provisions of SECTION 4, each Participant’s Before-Tax Contributions will be credited to his
or her Current Year Before-Tax Contribution Subaccount no later than the Accounting Date which ends the accounting period of the Plan during which such contributions were received by the Trustee. 
 8.04 Charging Distributions 
 All payments made to a
Participant or his or her Beneficiary during the accounting period ending on each Accounting Date will be charged to the proper Accounts of the Participant in accordance with Subsection 8.02. 
  

 43 








 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. No Participant shall have the right to inspect the records reflecting the Accounts of any other Participant. 
  

 44

 The Trust Fund and Investment of Trust Assets 
 9.01 The Trust Fund 
 The Trust Fund will consist of all money, stocks, bonds, securities and other property of any kind held and acquired by the Trustees in accordance with
the Plan and the Trust Agreement. 
 9.02 The Investment Funds 
 The following Investment Funds shall be maintained within the Trust Fund: 
  

	 	(a)	Interest Income Fund. An “Interest Income Fund,” the assets of which are primarily invested in fixed interest instruments (including guaranteed investment contracts
between the Trustee and a legal reserve life insurance company, commercial bank, savings and loan association or other financial institution or corporation) intended to provide for safety of principal and a positive rate of return.


  

	 	(b)	Bond Fund. A “Bond Fund,” the assets of which are primarily invested in a large sampling of bonds intended to provide a high level of interest income.


  

	 	(c)	Balanced Fund. A “Balanced Fund,” the assets of which are primarily invested in a diversified portfolio of stocks and investment grade bonds, intended to provide
current income and a potential for long-term growth of income and capital, and a greater rate of return than the Diversified Equity Fund, but entailing a risk of loss of principal. 

  

	 	(d)	Diversified Equity Fund. A “Diversified Equity Fund,” the assets of which are primarily invested in a diversified pool of a large number of stocks (or mutual fund
shares) intended to provide a greater rate of return than the Interest Income Fund, but entailing a risk of loss of principal. 

  

 45 









	 	(e)	Small Stock Fund. A “Small Stock Fund,” the assets of which are primarily invested aggressively in a portfolio of growth-oriented stocks (or mutual fund shares),
intended to provide a greater rate of return than the Diversified Equity Fund, but entailing a greater risk of loss of principal. 

  

	 	(f)	Extended Market Fund. An “Extended Market Fund,” the assets of which are primarily invested in mid- and small-capitalization companies, intended to provide
long-term growth of capital. 

  

	 	(g)	Growth Equity Fund. A “Growth Equity Fund,” the assets of which are primarily invested in stocks, intended to provide long-term growth of capital.


  

	 	(h)	Value Equity Fund. A “Value Equity Fund,” the assets of which are primarily invested in stocks, intended to provide a high level of dividend income and moderate
levels of long-term capital appreciation. 

  

	 	(i)	International Equity Fund. An “International Equity Fund,” the assets of which are primarily invested in securities representing interests in companies located
outside of the United States, intended to provide long-term growth of capital, and a greater rate of return than the Balanced Fund, but entailing a risk of loss of principal. 

  

	 	(j)	Hanesbrands Inc. Common Stock Fund. A “Hanesbrands Inc. Common Stock Fund,” the assets of which are primarily invested in Hanesbrands Stock. The Hanesbrands Inc.
Common Stock Fund shall be created effective as of the Spin-Off Date. 

  

	 	(k)	Sara Lee Corporation Common Stock Fund. A “Sara Lee Corporation Common Stock Fund,” the assets of which are primarily invested in Sara Lee Stock. No new
contributions shall be permitted in the Sara Lee Corporation Common Stock Fund on or after the Effective Date. Effective as of the Spin-Off Date, each Participant’s interest in the Sara Lee 

  

 46 









	 	    	Corporation Common Stock Fund shall be liquidated and reinvested in accordance with the Participant’s current investment elections for new contributions to the Plan unless the
Participant affirmatively elects (in accordance with rules established by the Committee) to continue his or her investment in the Sara Lee Corporation Common Stock Fund. The Sara Lee Corporation Common Stock Fund is required to be removed from the
Plan on the one year anniversary of the Spin-Off Date; any amounts held in the fund at that time shall be reinvested in accordance with the respective Participants’ then current investment elections for new contributions to the Plan (or for any
Participant without such a valid election, in a default investment fund identified by the Committee). 

  

	 	(l)	Target Retirement Funds. The “Target Retirement Funds,” the assets of which are primarily invested in mutual funds based on an asset allocation strategy designed
for investors planning to retire on or around a stated year, with such asset allocation strategy changing over time to reflect typical investment risk and return objectives for people with similar retirement goals. 

 The Interest Income Fund, Bond Fund, Balanced Fund, Diversified Equity Fund, Small Stock Fund, Extended Market Fund, Growth Equity Fund, Value Equity Fund, International
Equity Fund, Sara Lee Corporation Common Stock Fund, Hanesbrands Inc. Common Stock Fund and Target Retirement Funds are sometimes referred to individually as an “Investment Fund” and collectively as the “Investment Funds.” 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 (1%). A Participant may elect to have any other Contributions to his or her Accounts invested in one or more Investment Funds (excluding the Sara Lee
Corporation 
  

 47 








 Common Stock Fund), and if a Participant does not make such an election within such reasonable 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 Target Retirement Fund that most closely corresponds to the year in which he or she will attain age
sixty-five (65), as determined in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Committee. 
 Elections under this Subsection 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 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, in even multiples of one percent (1%), the balances in his or her Accounts in
an Investment Fund from that Fund to one or more other Investment Funds, subject to the trading restrictions of the Investment Fund. The Participant’s Accounts for the Investment Fund from which such fund transfer or reallocation is made will
be charged, and his or her Accounts for the Investment Fund to which such fund transfer or reallocation is made will be credited, with the amount so reallocated in accordance with rules established by the Committee. Such transfers of balances in
Subaccounts between Investment Funds shall be made on the same Accounting Date as notice is received by the Committee provided the notice conforms with the procedures of the Committee. The foregoing provisions of this Subsection are contingent upon
the availability of fund transfers 
  

 48 








 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 (and Sara Lee Stock for as long as it is held in the Plan), the Committee shall notify Participants of each meeting of the shareholders of Sara Lee Corporation or 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 Sara Lee Stock or 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 Sara Lee Stock or Hanesbrands Stock (including fractional shares) credited to the Participant’s
Accounts in accordance with the directions of the Participant. The Trustee shall vote the Sara Lee Stock or 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 Sara Lee Stock or
Hanesbrands Stock and shall request from each Participant instructions for the Trustee as to the tendering of Sara Lee Stock or Hanesbrands Stock credited to his or her Accounts. The Trustee shall tender or exchange such Sara Lee Stock or
Hanesbrands Stock as to which it receives (within the time specified in the notification) instructions to tender or exchange. Any Sara Lee Stock or 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. 
  

 49 








 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 Sara Lee Stock or
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)	Vesting. 

  

	 	(i)	Before-Tax Contribution, After-Tax, and Rollover Contribution Accounts. A Participant shall at all times be fully vested in and have a nonforfeitable right to the balance in
his or her Before-Tax Contribution Account and his or her After-Tax and Rollover Contribution Accounts, if any. 

  

	 	(ii)	Annual Company Contribution, Transition Contribution, Matching Contribution Accounts. If a Participant’s Separation Date occurs on or after his or her Normal Retirement
Age, the date he or she dies or becomes Totally Disabled, he or she shall be fully vested in his or her Annual Company Contribution Account, Transition Contribution Account, Matching Contribution Account. If a Participant’s Separation Date
occurs under any other circumstances, the balances in his or her Annual Company Contribution Account, Transition Contribution Account, Matching Contribution Account, as applicable, will be reduced to an amount computed in accordance with the
following schedule: 

  

 51 









				
	 If the Participant’s
 Number of Years

 Service is:
	  	 The Vested Percentage of
 His or Her Applicable
 Accounts will

	 Less than 1 year
	  	0	%
	 1 year but less than 2 years
	  	20	%
	 2 years but less than 3 years
	  	40	%

 The resulting balance in his or her Annual Company Contribution Account, Transition Contribution
Account and Matching Contribution Account will be distributable to him or her, or, in the event of his or her death, to his or her Beneficiary, in accordance with this Subsection and Subsection 10.02. 
  

	 	(iii)	Special Provisions Applicable to Certain Participants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant who had an account balance in a Predecessor Plan shall be vested in his or
her Accounts to the extent provided in the Sara Lee Plan. In addition, a Participant who was subject to special vesting rules under the Sara Lee Plan shall be fully vested in his or her Accounts to the extent provided in the Sara Lee.


  

	 	(b)	Time of Payment. Except as provided in Subsection 10.03 below, payment of a Participant’s benefits will be made or commence within the time determined by the Committee
after his or her Separation Date, but not later than sixty (60) days after (i) the end of the Plan Year in which his or her Separation Date occurs, or (ii) such later date on which the amount of the payment can be ascertained by the
Committee. In the event a 

  

 52 








 Participant receives a lump sum distribution of his or her entire vested Accounts and additional
contributions are subsequently credited to his or her Accounts, his or her entire remaining vested Account balance shall be distributed in an immediate lump sum to the extent such vested Account balance does not exceed $1,000 as of the date of such
distribution. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, distributions may not be made to the Participant before his or her Normal Retirement Age without his or her consent. 
  

	 	(c)	Method of Distribution. A Participant’s vested Accounts will be distributed to him or her (or, in the event of his or her death, to his or her Beneficiary) in a lump sum
unless the Participant (or, in the event of his or her death, the Participant’s Beneficiary) elects, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, to receive such distribution by any one or more of the following methods, if
applicable: 

  

	 	(i)	Partial Distributions. 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. All partial distributions under this Subparagraph shall be made in cash only.


  

	 	(ii)	Installments. If the vested portion of the applicable vested Account balance exceeds $5,000, a Participant (or, in the event of his or her death, his or her surviving spouse)
may elect to receive substantially equal installments over a period not to exceed five (5) Plan Years, commencing in any year designated but no later than the applicable Required Commencement Date with final distribution of all Accounts by the
fifth year. No Beneficiary other 

  

 53 








 than a Participant’s surviving spouse may elect to receive installments.

  

	 	(iii)	Special Distribution Provisions for Certain Participants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant who had an account balance in a Predecessor Plan may elect distribution
under any other method available to such Participant to the extent provided in the Sara Lee Plan; provided, however, that Participants who participated in a Predecessor Plan that was subject to Section 401(a)(11) and Section 417 of the
Code or which provided special distribution rules may no longer elect payment of their Account Balances in any form other than a lump sum or partial lump sum distribution, notwithstanding any provision in this Plan or any prior or current Supplement
thereto to the contrary. 

  

	 	(iv)	Order of Accounts. Distributions under this Subparagraph shall be charged to the Participant’s vested Accounts (if applicable) in the following order: (A) After-Tax
Account; (B) Rollover Contribution Account; (C) Before-Tax Contribution Account; (D) Predecessor Company Account; (E) Matching Contribution Account (classified as company match); (F) Matching Contribution Account (classified
as monthly company contributions); (G) Matching Contribution Account attributable to Matching Contributions made pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement; (H) Annual Company Contribution Account; and (I) Transition Contribution
Account. 

  

	 	(v)	Special Provisions Applicable to Dividends. Notwithstanding Subparagraph (ii), dividends attributable to Sara Lee Stock or Hanesbrands Stock in a Participant’s Accounts
that are subject to 

  

 54 








 the election in Subsection 10.08 shall be one hundred percent (100%) vested.

  

	 	(d)	Fees. The Committee may, on an annual or more frequent basis, charge the Accounts of any Alternate Payee, any Beneficiary, or any Participant whose Separation Date has
occurred for a reason other than Retirement, for reasonable and necessary administrative fees incurred in the ongoing maintenance of such Accounts in the Plan, in accordance with uniform rules and procedures applicable to all Participants similarly
situated. “Retirement” means Separation from Service on or after the earlier of: (i) the attainment of age fifty-five (55) and ten (10) Years of Service, or (ii) Normal Retirement Age. 

 10.02 Distributions in Shares 
 Distributions of
amounts invested in the Hanesbrands Inc. Common Stock Fund (or the Sara Lee Corporation Common Stock Fund while such fund is maintained under the Plan) 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. Each Participant who elects distribution of amounts invested in Hanesbrands Inc. Common Stock Fund in the form of stock who subsequently has additional contributions credited to
his or her Accounts shall receive such additional contributions in shares of Hanesbrands stock in accordance with Subsection 10.01. If an election is made by the Participant to direct the Trustee to distribute the balance of his or her Accounts
invested in the Sara Lee Corporation Common Stock Fund or 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. 
  

 55 








 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 the Beneficiary dies before the Participant or before complete payment of the Participant’s Account balance, 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 or for the benefit of the legal representative or representatives of the Participant’s estate; 


 

 56 









	 	(iii)	If the Participant does not have a surviving spouse and an estate is not opened on behalf of the Participant, 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)	Primary and Secondary Beneficiaries. In the event that the primary Beneficiary dies before complete payment of the Participant’s Account balance, the secondary
Beneficiary (if any) designated by the Participant shall become the Beneficiary for all purposes under this Subsection. In the event that the Participant has named multiple primary Beneficiaries, and one of the multiple primary Beneficiaries dies
before complete payment of the Participant’s Account balance, the remaining primary Beneficiaries shall be entitled to the deceased primary Beneficiary’s share, pro 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). 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)	Designation by Beneficiary. Each Beneficiary, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, may name or designate a beneficiary. Notwithstanding the first two
sentences of Subparagraph (c) and subject to the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9), in the event a Beneficiary dies before complete payment of his or her share of the Participant’s Account balance and such Beneficiary has named
or designated a beneficiary in accordance with this Subparagraph, such Beneficiary’s share of the Participant’s Account balance shall be paid to the beneficiary designated by the Beneficiary in accordance with procedures established by the
Committee. 

  

 57 








 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 (3) years after the 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 Direct Rollover of Eligible Rollover Distributions 
 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 
  

 58 








 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 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 prior to incurring a One Year Break in Service, the balance in his Forfeiture Account, determined as of the Accounting Date coincident with or next following the date on which he incurs such One Year Break in Service (after all
adjustments then required under the Plan have been made) will be a Forfeiture and will be used to reduce administrative expenses of the Plan. 
 If a Participant returns to employment with an Employer or a related Company after incurring a One Year Break in Service but before incurring five consecutive One Year Breaks in Service, the amount forfeited from his Forfeiture Account by
reason of such One Year Break in Service will be restored to his Forfeiture Account, first, out of Forfeitures occurring in the year of restoration, second, out of Trust Fund earnings, third, out of Employer Contributions, and fourth, 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. 
  

 59 








 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 Sara Lee Stock or Hanesbrands Stock (as applicable), 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 one hundred percent (100%) 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; provided, however, that on and after the Spin-Off Date, dividends attributable to Sara Lee Stock are required to be reinvested in the Sara Lee Common Stock Fund. 
 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 seventy and one-half (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, and shall further comply with the rules described below: 
  

	 	(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 

  

 60 









	 	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 seventy and one-half (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 (a)(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. 
  

 61 









	 	(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 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. 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. 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 

  

 62 









	 	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 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 

  

 63 









	 	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 Code Section 401(a)(9). 


 

	 	(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 

  

 64 









	 	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 Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-9. 

  

	 	(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. 

  

 65 








 SECTION 11 
 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 (1) 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 (1/2) 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 and equivalent to $10.00 per week) 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  

  

 66 









	 	Journal; provided, however, that the rate shall not exceed six percent (6%) 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 and requests a reduction in the applicable interest rate. 

  

	 	(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 (6) months nor more than five (5) 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 ten (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 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 

  

 67 









	 	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 (2) loans outstanding at a time; provided that a Participant may not have two (2) 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 

  

 68 








 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 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 not 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. 

  

 69 









	 	(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), 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. 
  

	 	(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 twelve (12) months of post-secondary education for the Participant or his or her spouse,
children or dependants (determined under Code Section 152 without regard to Section 152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B)); 

  

 70 









	 	(ii)	A down payment and closing costs for the purchase of a primary residence; 

  

	 	(iii)	Medical expenses incurred by the Participant the Participant’s spouse or any dependents of the Participant; 

  

	 	(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 dependants (as defined in Code Section 152 without regard to the change
in definition under Section 152(d)(1)(B)); 

  

	 	(vi)	Payment of expenses for the repair of damage to the Participant’s principal residents that would qualify for the casualty deduction under Code Section 165 (determined
without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10% of adjusted gross income). 

 To establish that the amount to be withdrawn is
not reasonably available from other resources, the Participant shall be required to elect to receive a cash distribution of the dividends paid pursuant to Subsection 10.08 of the Plan attributable to his or her proportionate interest in the Sara Lee
Corporation Common Stock Fund or Hanesbrands Inc. Common Stock Fund after the Spin-Off Date and to obtain all other in-service withdrawals, distributions and nontaxable loans available under this Plan and any other plan maintained by the Employer.

  

	 	(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 

  

 71 








 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: 
  

	 	(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 (2) withdrawals per calendar year under this Subsection. 

  

 72 









	 	(d)	Hardship withdrawals shall be made as soon as administratively feasible after the Committee has received the Participant’s withdrawal election 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 fifty-nine and one-half (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 charged to the Participant’s vested Accounts (if applicable) in the following order: 
  

	 	(a)	After-Tax Account; 

  

	 	(b)	Rollover Contribution Account; 

  

	 	(c)	Before-Tax Contribution Account; 

  

	 	(d)	Predecessor Company Account; 

  

	 	(e)	If applicable, Matching Contribution Account (classified as company match); 

  

	 	(f)	If applicable, Matching Contribution Account (classified as monthly company contributions); 

  

	 	(g)	If applicable, Matching Contribution Account attributable to Matching Contributions made pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement. 

  

 73 








 All withdrawals shall be paid in cash. Requests for a withdrawal shall be made in such manner and in accordance with such
rules as the Committee determines. If the 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. Participants in this Plan who participated in a Predecessor Plan that was subject to Section 401(a)(11) and
Section 417 of the Code may no longer elect payment of their Account Balances in any form other than a lump sum or partial lump sum distribution, notwithstanding any provision of this Plan or any Supplement thereto to the contrary; and no
consent of such Participants’ spouses shall be required for withdrawals made under Subsections 11.02, 11.03 or 11.04 after such date. 
  

 74 








 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 (5) consecutive One-Year Breaks In Service, the Participant may repay to the Trustee,
within five (5) 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 

  

 75 








 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. 
  

	 	(ii)	If a Participant is reemployed by a Controlled Group Member on or after he or she incurs five (5) consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service, 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 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:


  

 76 









	 	(i)	If the Participant is reemployed by a Controlled Group Member before he or she incurs five (5) consecutive One-Year Breaks In Service, 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. 

  

	 	(ii)	If the Participant is reemployed by a Controlled Group Member before he or she incurs five (5) consecutive One-Year Breaks In Service, pre-break Forfeitures shall not be
restored to his or her Accounts. In addition, if the Participant’s number of consecutive One-Year Breaks In Service exceeds the greater of five (5) 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. 

  

 77 








 SECTION 13 
 Special Rules for Top-Heavy Plans 
 13.01 Purpose and Effect 
 The purpose of this SECTION 13 is to comply with the requirements of Code Section 416. 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 Code Section 416(g). 
 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 sixty percent (60%) 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 (1) 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 separation from service, death or Total Disability, the one (1) year period shall be replaced with a five (5) 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. 

  

 78 









	 	(d)	The Account balances of a Participant who did not perform any services for the Employers during the one (1) 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 $140,000 (as adjusted under Section 416(i)(l) of the Code); 

  

	 	(b)	A five percent (5%) owner of an Employer; or 

  

	 	(c)	A one percent (1%) owner of an Employer receiving annual Compensation from any of the Employers and the Controlled Group Members of more than $150,000.


 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 not a Key Employee shall not be less than three percent (3%) 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 not a 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). 
 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 or that is maintained by the Employers in order for a Plan covering a Key Employee to qualify
under Section 401(a)(4) and 410 of the 
  

 79 








 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. 
  

 80 








 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 
  

 81 








 
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 eighteen (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 eighteen (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. 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. 
  

 82 








 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 
 Neither the Trustee nor the Employers in any way guarantee the Trust Fund from loss or depreciation. The Employers do not guarantee any payment to any
person. The liability of the Trustee and the Employers to make any payment is limited to the available assets of the Trust Fund. 
 14.07 Rights Not
Conferred by the Plan 
 The Plan is not a contract of employment, and participation in the Plan will not give any Employee the right to
be retained in an Employer’s employ, nor any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan, unless the right or claim has specifically accrued under the Plan. 
 14.08 Gender and Number 
 Where the context admits, words denoting men include women, the plural includes the singular and
vice versa. 
 14.09 Committee’s Decisions Final 
 An interpretation of the Plan and a decision on any matter within the Committee’s discretion made by it in good faith is binding on all persons. A misstatement or other mistake of fact shall be corrected when it
becomes known, and the Committee shall make such adjustment as it considers equitable and practicable. 
  

 83 








 14.10 Litigation by Participants 
 If a legal action begun against the Trustee, the Committee or any of the Employers by or on behalf of any person results adversely to that person, or if a legal action arises because of conflicting claims to a
Participant’s or Beneficiary’s benefits, the cost to the Trustee, the Committee or any of the Employers of defending the action will be charged to such extent as possible to the sums, if any, involved in the action or payable to the
Participant or Beneficiary concerned. 
 14.11 Evidence 
 Evidence required of anyone under the Plan may be by certificate, affidavit, document or other information which the person acting on it considers pertinent and reliable, and signed, made or presented by the proper
party or parties. 
 14.12 Uniform Rules 
 In managing the Plan, the Committee will apply uniform rules to all Participants similarly situated. 
 14.13 Law That Applies 
 Except to the extent superseded by laws of the United States, the laws of North Carolina (without regard to any state’s conflict of laws principles)
shall be controlling in all matters relating to the Plan. 
 14.14 Waiver of Notice 
 Any notice required under the Plan may be waived by the person entitled to such notice. 
 14.15 Successor to Employer 
 The term “Employer” includes any entity that agrees to
continue the Plan under Subparagraph 16.02(c). 
  

 84 








 14.16 Application for Benefits 
 Each Participant or Beneficiary eligible for benefits under the Plan shall apply for such benefits according to procedures and deadlines established by the Committee. In the event of denial of any application for
benefits, the procedure set forth in Subsection 14.17 shall apply. 
 14.17 Claims Procedure 
 Claims for benefits under the Plan shall be made in such manner as the Committee shall prescribe. Claims for benefits and the appeal of denied claims
under the Plan shall be administered in accordance with Section 503 of ERISA, the regulations thereunder (and any other law that amends, supplements or supersedes said Section of ERISA), and the claims and appeals procedures adopted by the
Committee and/or the Appeal Committee, as appropriate, for that purpose. The Plan shall provide adequate notice to any claimant whose claim for benefits under the Plan has been denied, setting forth the reasons for such denial, and shall afford a
reasonable opportunity to such claimant for a full and fair review by the Appeal Committee of the decision denying the claim. No action at law or in equity shall be brought to recover benefits under the Plan until the appeal rights described in this
Subsection have been exercised and the Plan benefits requested in such appeal have been denied in whole or in part. Any legal action subsequent to a denial of a benefit appeal taken by a Participant against the Plan or its fiduciaries must be filed
in a court of law no later than ninety (90) days after the Appeal Committee’s final decision on review of an appealed claim. All decisions and communications relating to claims by Participants, denials of claims or claims appeals under
this SECTION 14 shall be held strictly confidential by the Participant, the Committees and the Employers during and at all times after the Participant’s claim has been submitted in accordance with this Section. 
 14.18 Action by Employers 
 Any action required or
permitted under the Plan of an Employer shall be by resolution of its Board of Directors or by a duly authorized Committee of its Board of Directors, or by a person or persons authorized by resolution of its Board of Directors or such Committee.

  

 85 








 SECTION 15 
 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)	The Internal Revenue Service initially determines that the Plan does not meet the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code, in which event the assets of the Trust Fund
attributable to the contributions made to the Plan by the Employer or Employers with respect to whom such determination is made shall be returned to them; or 

  

	 	(b)	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


  

	 	(c)	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 (b) or (c) 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. 
  

 86 








 SECTION 16 
 Amendment or Termination 
 16.01 Amendment 
 While the Employers expect to continue the Plan, the Company reserves the right, subject to SECTION 15, to amend the Plan from time to time, by resolution
of the Board of Directors in accordance with Subsection 14.18, or by resolution of a committee authorized to amend the Plan by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment will reduce a
Participant’s Account balance to less than an amount he or she would be entitled to receive if he or she had terminated his or her association with the Employers on the day of the amendment. 
 16.02 Termination 
 The Plan will terminate as to all
Employers on any date specified by the Company, by resolution of the Board of Directors in accordance with Subsection 14.18, if advance written notice of the termination is given to the Trustee and the other Employers. The Plan will terminate as to
an individual Employer on the first to occur of the following: 
  

	 	(a)	The date it is terminated by that Employer, by resolution of its Board of Directors in accordance with Subsection 14.18, if advance written notice of the termination is given to the
Company and the Trustee; 

  

	 	(b)	The date the Employer permanently discontinues its contributions under the Plan; and 

  

	 	(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. 

  

 87 








 16.03 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. All appropriate accounting provisions of the Plan will continue to apply until the Account balances of all Participants
have been distributed under the Plan. 
 16.04 Notice of Amendment or Termination 
 Participants will be notified of an amendment or termination within a reasonable time. 
 16.05 Plan Merger, Consolidation, Etc. 
 In the case of any merger or consolidation with, or transfer
of assets or liabilities to, any other Plan, each Participant’s benefits if the Plan terminated immediately after such merger, consolidation or transfer shall be equal to or greater than the benefits he or she would have been entitled to
receive if the Plan had terminated immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer. 
  

 88

 for ensuring that procedures safeguarding the confidentiality of all Participant decisions and
directions relating to purchase, sale, tendering and voting (as described in Subsection 9.06) of shares of Sara Lee Stock and Hanesbrands credited to such Participants’ Accounts are sufficient and are being followed. 
  

	 	(c)	To determine all questions arising under the Plan other than those determinations that have been delegated to the Appeal Committee or the Investment Committee, including the power

applicant is entitled to them. 

  

	 	(d)	To enforce the Plan in accordance with its terms and the terms of the Trust Agreement and in accordance with the rules and regulations adopted by the Committee.


  

	 	(e)	To construe the Plan and Trust Agreement, to reconcile and correct any errors or inconsistencies and to make adjustments for any mistakes or errors made in the administration of the
Plan. 

  

	 	(f)	To furnish the Employers with such information as may be required by them for tax or other purposes. 

  

	 	(g)	To employ agents, attorneys, accountants, actuaries or other organizations or persons (who also may be employed by the Employers) and allocate or delegate to them any of the powers,
rights and duties of the Committee as the Committee may consider necessary or advisable to properly administer the Plan. To the extent that the Committee delegates to any person or entity the discretionary authority to manage and control the
administration of the Plan, such person or entity shall be a fiduciary as defined in ERISA. 

  

 90 








 As appropriate, references to the Committee herein with respect to any delegated powers, rights and
duties shall be considered references to the applicable delegate.

elsewhere in the Plan and the Trust Agreement, the Appeal Committee shall have the following powers, rights and duties:
