or her payroll deduction or contributions pursuant to administrative rules established by the
Committee.
10. Termination of Participation. Subject to rules set forth in each Country Program, a

voluntary or involuntary termination of participation in the Plan, no payroll deduction shall
be taken from any pay due thereafter; and at the election of such Participant or Participant’s
estate, as the case may be, the balance in the Participant’s Plan Account shall be paid either to
the Participant or the Participant’s estate, or shall be retained to purchase Shares in accordance
with normal procedures. Except as provided above, a Participant may not withdraw any credit
balance in the Participant’s Plan Account, in whole or in part.

privileges of a stockholder of the Corporation shall exist with respect to Shares purchased under
the Plan unless and until a statement representing such Shares shall have been issued to the
Participant.
12. Dividends. Cash dividends on Shares acquired under the Plan will accrue to Participants
in the same manner as for other shareholders. Participants shall be invited to enroll in the
Corporation’s automatic dividend reinvestment plan (unless such enrollment is automatic pursuant to
the applicable Country Program).
13. Rights Not Transferable. Rights under the Plan are not transferable by a Participant
other than by will or the laws of descent, and are exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime
only by the Participant.
14. Application of Funds. All funds received or held by the Corporation under the Plan may be
used for any corporate purposes.
15. Adjustments in Case of Changes Affecting Shares. In the event of a subdivision of
outstanding Shares, or the payment of a stock dividend, the number of Shares authorized for
issuance under the Plan shall be increased proportionately, and such equitable adjustments shall be
made by the Committee. In the event of any other change affecting the Corporation’s common stock,
such equitable adjustment shall be made by the Committee to give proper effect to such event,
subject to shareholder approval to the extent required by Treasury regulations issued under Section
423 of the Code.

time, or from time to time, may amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan or any of the Country
Programs, provided, however, that except to conform the Plan or any Country Program to the
requirements of local legislation, no amendment shall be made withdrawing the administration of the
Plan or Country Programs from the Committee, or permitting any rights under the Plan to be granted
to any employee who is a member of the Committee administering the Plan.

SUPPLEMENT A
TO
HANESBRANDS INC.
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN OF 2006
US PROGRAM
1. Purpose. The purpose of this Supplement A to the Hanesbrands Inc. Employee Stock Purchase
Plan of 2006 is to modify and further specify the terms and conditions of the Plan as applied to
employees in the United States (the “US Program”). The US Program is intended to qualify as an
employee stock purchase plan under section 423 of the Code. Any defined term not defined in this
Supplement A shall be defined pursuant to the Plan.
2. Contributions. An Eligible Employee may participate in the US Program at any time by
completing and filing with the Administrator an Authorization Form. The Committee, in its
discretion, may establish a minimum or maximum deduction per payroll period. A Participant’s
deductions will commence as soon as administratively possible during the next succeeding Offering
Period after the Participant’s Authorization Form is filed with the Administrator and recorded.
The deductions shall continue until the Participant terminates participation in the US Program or
until the US Program is terminated. Subject to the minimum and maximum deductions set forth in the
Plan and this US Program, a Participant may change the amount of his or her payroll deduction no
more than four times in each calendar year by filing a new Authorization Form with the
Administrator. The election made on the most recent Authorization Form filed with the
Administrator at the end of each Offering Period will be the payroll deduction election recorded.
Each such change shall become effective as soon as administratively possible during the next
succeeding (or designated future) Offering Period after the Participant’s Authorization Form is
received and recorded by the Administrator. Payroll deductions will be held in the Corporation
or Participating Subsidiary’s general accounts until after the end of the Offering Period at which
time they will be applied solely for the purchase of Shares under the US Program. Participants
will receive periodic statements of their Plan Account balances.
3. Share Purchases. On each Exercise Date, each Participant’s Plan Account shall be charged
for the amount of the Shares to be purchased on that date. The number of Shares to
A-1
be purchased on an Exercise Date shall be determined by dividing the balance of the
Participant’s Plan Account (including any balance in the Participant’s Plan Account after the
immediately prior Exercise Date) by the Exercise Price, and then rounding downward to the nearest
whole Share. No fractional Shares shall be purchased, and any balance remaining in the
Participant’s Plan Account after the Shares have been purchased on the Exercise Date shall be
carried forward to the next succeeding Offering Period. As soon as practicable after the Exercise
Date, a statement shall be delivered to the Participant which shall include the number of Shares
purchased on the Exercise Date and the aggregate number of Shares purchased on behalf of such
Participant under the US Program. Share ownership shall be kept electronically in the name of the
Participant.
4. Ceasing Contributions/Rights of Participants Who Leave Service. A Participant whose
participation in the US Program has terminated (either upon the Participant’s request or upon the
Participant’s termination of employment for any reason) may not rejoin the US Program until the
third succeeding Offering Period following the date of such termination.
5. Contracts of Employment and Other Employment Rights. The US Program may be terminated at
any time at the discretion of the Corporation and no compensation will be due to a Participant as a
result. Neither the value of the Shares nor the discount derived from the Purchase Price shall be
added to a Participant’s income for the purpose of calculating any employee benefits. No
additional rights arise to a Participant as a result of participating in the US Program or the
opportunity to participate. Participation in the US Program does not confer on any Participant any
right to future employment. Participation in the US Program is at the discretion of Eligible
Employees. No representation or warranty is given by the Corporation or Participating Subsidiaries
as to the present or future benefit of participation in the US Program. If a Corporation or a
Participating Subsidiary ceases participation in the US Program or the Corporation ceases operation
of the Plan, employees will have no right or action against the Participating Subsidiary, the
Committee or the Corporation for such termination.
