HANESBRANDS INC. OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN OF 2006
PERFORMANCE CASH AWARD 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 granted a Performance
Cash Award (this “Award”), effective [date] (the “Grant Date”). This Award is subject to the terms
of this Performance Cash Award Grant Notice and Agreement (this “Agreement”) and is made under the
Hanesbrands Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan of 2006 (the “Plan”) which is incorporated into this
Agreement by reference. Any capitalized terms used herein that are otherwise undefined shall have
the same meaning as provided in the Plan.
1. Acceptance of Terms and Conditions. To be eligible to receive this Award, you must sign
this Agreement and return it to the Compensation Department within 30 days after the Grant Date.
By signing this Agreement, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions herein, the Plan and
any and all conditions established by the Company in connection with Awards issued under the Plan,
and you further acknowledge and agree that this Award does not confer any legal or equitable right
(other than those rights constituting the Award itself) against the Company or any Subsidiary
directly or indirectly, or give rise to any cause of action at law or in equity against the
Company.
2. Grant of Performance Cash Award. Subject to the restrictions, limitations, terms and
conditions specified in the Plan, the Participation Guide/Prospectus for Hanesbrands Inc. Omnibus
Incentive Plan of 2006 (the “Plan Prospectus”), and this Agreement, the Company hereby grants you
as of the Grant Date a Performance Cash Award to be earned over the three-year Performance Period
beginning January 3, 2010 and ending December 29, 2012 (the “Performance Period”).
| • | For the fiscal year ending January 1, 2011(“FY2010”), this Performance Cash Award will have a mid-point amount of $[ ] (“Mid-Point Award”). | ||
| • | The Mid-Point Award value for the second and third years of the Performance Period will be established by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (“Committee”) either immediately prior to the beginning of each year or shortly after the end of the preceding year. |
3. Measures and Targets. The Threshold, Mid-Point and Maximum measures and targets as
approved by the Committee for Section 16 Officers under the Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”) for
FY2010, FY2011, and FY2012 shall be the Threshold, Mid-Point and Maximum measures and targets for
this Award for FY2010, FY2011, and FY2012, respectively. The applicable achievement percentage
shall be interpolated in relation to the foregoing; provided, however, that if any measure achieved
is less than the Threshold amount, the achievement percentage for that measure shall be zero; and,
provided, further, that in no event shall the achievement percentage exceed 200%.
Except to the extent provided in Paragraphs 5 through 7 below, the amount of the Award earned
under this Agreement and under any other Performance Cash Awards granted to you under which amounts
may be earned as a result of the Company’s performance during the Performance Period shall be
determined after the end of the Performance Period. The
achievement percentage of each measure shall be equal to the average of the actual achievement
percentages for each year of the Performance Period for which such Awards have been issued
multiplied by the sum of the Mid-Point Award values for the three-year Performance Period. The
three-year average achievement percentage for each measure is weighted and summed to determine the
amount of the award earned. For this purpose, the measures for this Award will be weighted in the
same relative proportion as under the AIP.
4. Payment of Award. You shall receive payment of your Award, determined under Paragraphs 2
and 3 above, in a lump sum, less applicable withholding. Except as specifically provided below,
such payment shall be made during the 21/2-month period after the end of the Performance Period,
provided you are employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “HBI
Companies”) on the last day of the Performance Period. The Company will make payment of the Award
associated with FY2010 in cash; the Company currently intends to make payment of the Award
associated with FY2011 and FY2012 in cash but reserves the right to make payment associated with
the latter two fiscal years in shares.
5. Death or Total Disability. If you cease active employment with the HBI Companies
because of your death or total disability (as defined below) during the Performance Period that is
at least fifty (50) percent complete prior to your death or total disability, then you (or your
beneficiary in the event of your death) shall be entitled to receive payment of the Award amount
described in this Paragraph. Your Award amount shall be determined in accordance with Paragraphs 2
and 3, based on achievement through the end of the year in which you die or become totally
disabled, except that the achievement percentage for the year in which you die or become totally
disabled shall be prorated based on your period of active employment with the HBI Companies during
that year and prior to your death or total disability. Your Award amount will be paid during the
21/2 month period following the end of the calendar year in which you die or become totally disabled.
For purposes of this Paragraph 5, you shall be deemed to have a total disability if you are
determined to be totally disabled under the Company’s disability plan, you have received disability
benefits for at least three months under such plan, and your disability is expected to result in
death or to last for a continuous period of at least 12 months.
6. Retirement. If you retire (as defined below) from the HBI Companies
and the Performance Period is at least fifty (50) percent complete prior to your retirement, then
you shall be entitled to receive payment of the Award amount described in this Paragraph. Your
Award amount shall be determined in accordance with Paragraphs 2 and 3, based on achievement
through the end of the year in which you retire, except that the achievement percentage for the
year in which you retire shall be prorated based on your period of employment with the HBI
Companies during that year and prior to your retirement date. Your Award amount will be paid as
follows:
| • | If you retire in the second year of the Performance Period, payment of your Award amount shall be made during the 21/2 month period following the end of the calendar year in which you retire; provided, however, that if you are a Top-50 Employee (as determined in accordance with Code Section 409A), the payment will not be made earlier than the date that is six months following your separation from service (as defined in Code Section 409A). | ||
| • | If you retire during the last year of the Performance Period, payment of your Award amount shall be made at the date specified under Paragraph 4. |
2
For purposes of this Paragraph 6, you shall be deemed to have retired if you cease active
employment with the HBI Companies on or after attaining age 50 or older and after completing at
least 10 years of service with the HBI Companies. For purposes of determining years of service
under this Paragraph, if you were employed by Xxxx Xxx Corporation on September 5, 2006 and
remained employed by the HBI Companies thereafter, your service with the HBI Companies and Xxxx Xxx
Corporation will both be counted.
7. Other Terminations of Employment and Change of Control.
a. Involuntary Termination With Severance. If (i) your employment is involuntarily
terminated by the HBI Companies (other than in connection with a Change of Control as
defined in the Plan) and you are eligible to receive severance benefits under any written
severance plan of the Company (a “Severance Event Termination”) and (ii) the Performance
Period is at least fifty (50) percent complete prior to the involuntary termination with
severance, then you shall be entitled to receive payment of the Award amount described in
this subparagraph. Your Award amount shall be determined in accordance with Paragraphs 2
and 3. The achievement percentage for the year of your Severance Event Termination shall
be prorated based on your period of employment with the HBI Companies during that year and
prior to your Severance Event Termination. Payment of your Award amount shall be made at
the date specified under Paragraph 4.
b. Involuntary Termination Without Severance. If your employment is involuntarily
terminated by the HBI Companies and you are not eligible to receive severance benefits
under any written severance plan of the Company (i.e., your employment is terminated for
Cause), then vesting ends and this Award is forfeited on the date of termination.
c. Voluntary Termination. If you voluntarily terminate your employment with the
Company, other than as described in Paragraph 6 above, then vesting ends and this Award is
forfeited on the date of termination.
d. Change of Control. If (i) within three months preceding or 24 months following a
Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) your employment is terminated by the Company
other than for Cause, or if you are otherwise eligible for benefits following employment
termination due to a Change of Control pursuant to an individual agreement with the HBI
Companies, and (ii) the Performance Period is at least fifty (50) percent complete prior to
your termination, then you shall be entitled to receive payment of the Award amount
described in this subparagraph. Your Award amount shall be determined in accordance with
Paragraphs 2 and 3. In addition, the measures for the year of your termination shall be
deemed achieved at Mid-Point (notwithstanding the provisions of any individual agreement
between you and the HBI Companies) and the achievement percentage for that year shall be
prorated based on your period of employment with the HBI Companies during that year and
prior to your employment termination. Payment of your Award amount shall be made as
promptly as practicable after your termination of employment, but not later than the 15th
day of the third month after your termination of employment due to the Change of Control.
e. Other Sale, Closing or Spin-off. If (i) your employment with the Company
is terminated as a result of the sale, closing or spin-off of a specific business unit of
the Company not considered a Change of Control as defined in the Plan, and (ii) the
Performance Period is at least fifty (50) percent complete prior to your termination, then
you shall be entitled to receive payment of the Award amount described in this
subparagraph. Your Award amount shall be determined in accordance with Paragraphs 2 and 3,
except that the achievement percentage for the year in which your employment
3
terminates shall be prorated based on your period of employment with the HBI Companies
during that year and prior to your employment termination. Your Award amount will be paid
as follows:
| • | If your employment terminates during the second year of the Performance Period, payment of your Award amount shall be made during the 21/2 month period following the end of the calendar year in which your employment terminates; provided, however, that if you are a Top-50 Employee (as determined in accordance with Code Section 409A), the payment will not be made earlier than the date that is six months following your separation from service (as defined in Code Section 409A). | ||
| • | If your employment terminates during the last year of the Performance Period, payment of your Award amount shall be made at the date specified under Paragraph 4. |
8. Forfeiture/Right of Offset. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, if you engage in any activity inimical, contrary or harmful to the interests of the
Company or any Subsidiary, including but not limited to: (1) without the prior written consent of
the Company, counseling or becoming employed by, or otherwise engaging or participating in, or
performing consulting services for, any Competing Business (regardless of whether you receive any
compensation of any kind), where “Competing Business” means any business that competes with any
business that the HBI Companies conducted at any time during your employment with the HBI
Companies, (2) violating the Company’s Global Business Standards, (3) without the prior written
consent of the Company, soliciting any present or future employees or customers of the Company to
terminate such employment or business relationship(s) with the Company, (4) disclosing or misusing
any confidential information regarding the Company, (5) participating in any activity not approved
by the Board of Directors which could reasonably be foreseen as contributing to or resulting in a
Change of Control of the Company (as defined in the Plan), or (6) disparaging or criticizing,
orally or in writing, the business, products, policies, decisions, directors, officers or employees
of Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to any person (all such activities described in
(1)-(6) above collectively referred to as “wrongful conduct”), then (i) this Award shall terminate
automatically on the date on which you first engaged in such wrongful conduct and (ii) you shall
pay to the Company in cash any financial gain you realized from the vesting of the Award within the
12-month period immediately preceding such wrongful conduct. By accepting this Award, you consent
to and authorize the Company to deduct from any amounts payable by the Company to you, any amounts
you owe to the Company under this Paragraph 8.
The Committee may make retroactive adjustments to, and you shall reimburse to the Company any
Award paid to you where such compensation was predicated upon, achieving certain financial results
that were substantially the subject of a restatement, and as a result of the restatement it is
determined that you otherwise would not have been paid such compensation, regardless of whether or
not the restatement resulted from your misconduct. In each such instance, the Company will, to the
extent practicable, seek to recover the amount by which your incentive compensation for the
relevant period exceeded the lower payment that would have been made based on the restated
financial results. The Company will, to the extent permitted by governing law, require forfeiture
of any unvested Award and reimbursement to the Company for any financial gain realized from the
vesting of any vested Award for any named executive officer (for purposes of this policy “named
executive officers” has the meaning given that term in Item 402(a)(3) of Regulation S-K under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) where: (i) the payment was predicated upon the achievement of
certain financial results that were subsequently the
4
subject of a substantial restatement, and (ii) in the Committee’s view the officer engaged in
fraud or misconduct that caused or partially caused the need for the substantial restatement.
In each instance described above, the Company will, to the extent practicable, seek to recover
the described incentive compensation for the relevant period, plus a reasonable rate of interest.
By accepting this Agreement, you consent to and authorize the Company to deduct from any amounts
payable by the Company to you, any amounts you owe to the Company under this Paragraph. This right
of set-off is in addition to any other remedies the Company may have against you for your breach of
this Agreement.

subject to, all applicable provisions of the Plan. Inconsistencies between this Agreement, the
Plan Prospectus or the Plan shall be resolved in accordance with the terms of the Plan. By your

Plan, or the Plan Prospectus.

you acknowledge and understand that this Award shall not form part of any contract of employment
between you and any of the HBI Companies. Nothing in the Agreement, the Plan Prospectus, or the

time or for any reason. You further acknowledge that this Award is for future services to the HBI
