CALENDAR YEAR [YEAR] GRANT


NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT NOTICE AND AGREEMENT


To: [NAME] (referred to herein as “Grantee” or “you”)


Hanesbrands Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to confirm that you have been awarded a Restricted Stock Unit ( “RSU”) award (this “Award”), effective [DATE] (the “Grant Date”). This Award is subject to the terms of this Grant Notice and Agreement (this “Agreement”) and is made under the Hanesbrands Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated) (the “Plan”) which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.  Any capitalized terms used herein that are otherwise undefined shall have the same meaning provided in the Plan.
1.Grant of RSU Award.  Subject to the restrictions, limitations, terms and conditions specified in the Plan, the Participation Guide/Prospectus for the Hanesbrands Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated) (the “Plan Prospectus”), and this Agreement, the Company hereby awards to you [NUMBER] RSUs which are considered Stock Awards under the Plan. This Award represents your equity retainer for service as a member of the Board of Directors of Hanesbrands Inc. (the “Board”) in [YEAR].
2.Dividend Equivalents.  Subject to the restrictions, limitations and conditions described in the Plan, dividend equivalents payable on the RSUs will be accrued on behalf of the Grantee at the time that cash dividends are otherwise paid to owners of Stock.  Interest will be credited on accrued dividend equivalent balances, and such balances will vest on the Vesting Date (as defined below in Paragraph 3) and will be paid to the Grantee as soon as possible following the Vesting Date.
3.Vesting.  The RSUs will vest and become payable, together with a payment in cash equal to the value of any fractional shares of Stock, in shares of Stock on a one-for-one basis on the first anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Vesting Date”) if you are continuing to serve as a member of the Board on such one-year anniversary; provided that (i) if your service as a member of the Board is terminated prior to such one-year anniversary due to your death or total disability (as defined in Code Section 409A and guidance issued thereunder), all unvested RSUs will vest as of the date on which the Company is notified in writing of your death or the date on which the Company determines that you are totally disabled, and will become payable, together with a payment in cash equal to the value of any fractional shares of Stock, in shares of Stock as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, and (ii) if your service as a member of the Board is terminated prior to such one-year anniversary for any other reason, that number of RSUs determined by (A) dividing the number of RSUs granted by twelve, and (B) multiplying the result by the number of months that have passed in the calendar year for which the RSUs represent your equity retainer (including any portion of a month that has passed) as of the date of termination (the “Pro Rata RSUs”) will vest as of the date of termination, and will become payable, together with a payment in cash equal to the value of any fractional shares of Stock, in shares of Stock as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, and all RSUs other than the Pro Rata RSUs shall be forfeited. The RSUs are not transferable by you by means of sale, assignment, exchange, pledge, or otherwise until vested. You are personally responsible for the payment of all taxes related to vesting of the RSUs.  
4.Election to Defer Distribution.  If the distribution is subject to U.S. tax law, an eligible Grantee may elect to defer the distribution of either all or none of the RSUs granted under this Award. Such election shall be in accordance with rules established by the Committee and in general must have been received in writing by the Company no later than the business day prior to the Grant Date. The deferral, if elected, will result in the transfer of the RSUs into the Company’s deferred compensation plan Stock Equivalent Account in effect, and applicable to the Grantee, at the time the RSUs would have otherwise been distributed. The applicable Company deferred compensation plan rules will govern the administration of this Award beginning on the date the RSUs are credited to the applicable deferred compensation plan.
5.Adjustments.  If the number of outstanding shares of Stock is changed as a result of a Stock split or the like without additional consideration to the Company, the number of RSUs subject to this Award shall be adjusted to correspond to the change in the outstanding shares of Stock.
6.Rights as a Stockholder.  Except as provided in Paragraph 2 above (regarding dividends), you shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company in respect of the RSUs, including the right to vote, until and unless the RSUs have vested and ownership of Stock issuable upon vesting of the RSUs has been transferred to you.







7.No Rights to Continued Service.  Nothing in this Agreement, the Plan Prospectus, or the Plan confers on any Grantee any right to continue on the Board. You further acknowledge that this Award is for future services to the Company and is not under any circumstances to be considered compensation for past services.
