Each full-time and part-time, exempt and non-exempt salaried or hourly Participant may elect to defer a portion of his or her Compensation for any Plan Year by electing to have a percentage (in multiples of one percent not to exceed 50 percent) of his or her Compensation contributed to the Plan on his or her behalf by his or her Employer as Before-Tax Contributions. A Participant may elect to make such Before-Tax Contributions beginning as soon as administratively possible following the date he or she becomes a Participant, subject to Subparagraph (c) below. Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, a Participant may make a Before-Tax Contribution election only with respect to amounts that are compensation within the meaning of Section 415 of the Code and Section 1.415(c)-2 of the Treasury Regulations.
(b)	Roth Contribution Election. Subject to the conditions and limitations of the Plan and the Committee’s rules and procedures, beginning July 1, 2010, each full-time and part-time, exempt and non-exempt salaried or hourly Participant may elect to make Roth Contributions under the Plan in lieu of all or a portion of the Before-Tax Contributions that the Participant is otherwise eligible to make under the Plan. Roth Contributions are treated by the Employer as includible in the Participant’s gross income at the time the Participant would have received such amounts in cash if the Participant had not made or been deemed to have made an election to defer such amounts. Unless specifically provided otherwise, Roth Contributions shall be treated as Before-Tax Contributions for all purposes under the Plan.
(c)	Automatic Deferral Election. Notwithstanding Subparagraphs (a) and (b) above, each individual who becomes an Eligible Employee on or after January 1, 2008 will be deemed to have automatically elected to have four percent of his or her Compensation contributed to the Plan as Before-Tax Contributions beginning as soon as administratively possible after the Eligible Employee becomes a Participant hereunder. In addition, each Participant as of January 1, 2008 who had not previously made an affirmative election under the Plan was automatically enrolled at the four percent contribution level effective January 1, 2008. Each Participant who is automatically enrolled under this Subparagraph shall have his or her deferral percentage increased automatically by one percent each Plan Year thereafter, up to six percent of Compensation; provided, however, that the automatic deferral percentage for an Eligible Employee who becomes a Participant during the last three months of a Plan Year shall not increase until the beginning of the second Plan Year following his or her participation date; and further provided that automatic increases under this Subparagraph shall not apply once a Participant has made an affirmative election to change his or her deferral percentage, including an affirmative election to cease all deferrals. Prior to the date an automatic deferral election is effective, the Committee shall provide the Eligible Employee with a notice that explains the automatic deferral feature, the Eligible Employee’s right to elect not to have his or her Compensation automatically reduced and contributed to the Plan or to have another percentage contributed, and the procedure for making an alternate election. An automatic deferral election shall be treated for all purposes of the Plan as a voluntary deferral election.
(d)	Reduction of Compensation. Before-Tax Contributions and Roth Contributions shall be made by a reduction of such items of the Participant’s Compensation as each Employer shall determine (on a uniform basis) for each payroll period by the applicable percentage (not to exceed the maximum percentage determined by the Committee for any payroll period). The amount deferred by a Participant will be withheld from the Participant’s Compensation and contributed to the Plan on the Participant’s behalf by the Participant’s Employer in accordance with Subsection 5.01.

19

4.02 Catch-Up Contributions and Roth Catch-Up Contributions

     A Participant who has attained age 50 years (or will attain age 50 years by the end of the Plan Year) may elect to defer an additional amount of Compensation as Before-Tax Contributions for such Plan Year in accordance with and subject to the limitations of Section 414(v) of the Code (“Catch-Up Contributions”). Beginning July 1, 2010, such Participant shall be eligible to make Roth Catch-Up Contributions under the Plan in lieu of all or a portion of the Catch-Up Contributions the Participant is otherwise eligible to make under the Plan. Roth Catch-Up Contributions are treated by the Employer as includible in the Participant’s gross income at the time the Participant would have received such amounts in cash if the Participant had not contributed such amounts to the Plan. Unless otherwise provided, Roth Catch-Up Contributions shall be treated as Catch-Up Contributions for all purposes under the Plan. Catch-Up Contributions and Roth Catch-Up Contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of implementing the required limitations of Sections 402(g) and 415 of the Code contained in Subsections 6.03 and 6.05, respectively.

4.03 Change in Election

     As of the beginning of any payroll period (but not retroactively), a Participant may elect to change the rate of his or her Before-Tax Contributions and Roth Contributions and the amount of his or her Catch-Up Contributions and Roth Catch-Up Contributions (if applicable), or to discontinue such contributions entirely. If a Participant discontinues his or her contributions, he or she may subsequently elect under Subsection 4.01 or 4.02 (if applicable) to have contributions resumed as of any subsequent payroll period. Elections under this Subsection shall be made in such manner and in accordance with such rules as the Committee determines. If the Committee in its discretion determines that elections under this Subsection shall be made in a manner other than in writing, any Participant who makes an election pursuant to such method may receive written confirmation of such election; further, any such election and confirmation will be the equivalent of a writing for all purposes.

20

4.04 Direct Transfers and Rollovers

     The Committee in its discretion may direct the Trustee to accept:

(a)	From a trustee or insurance company a direct transfer (or an Eligible Rollover Distribution) of a Participant’s benefit (or portion thereof) under any other Eligible Retirement Plan;
(b)	From a Participant as a Rollover Contribution or Roth Rollover Contribution an amount (or portion thereof) received by the Participant as an Eligible Rollover Distribution from another Eligible Retirement Plan; or
(c)	From a Participant as a Rollover Contribution the entire amount received by the Participant as a distribution from an individual retirement account or an individual retirement annuity where such amount is attributable to a rollover contribution of a qualified total distribution pursuant to Section 408(d)(3)(A) of the Code;

provided, however, that any Rollover Contribution or Roth Rollover Contribution shall be in cash only, shall comply with the provisions of the Code, and, except for a Roth Rollover Contribution, shall be exclusive of after-tax employee contributions; and further provided that the Committee shall accept a direct transfer or rollover from a designated Roth account only as permitted under Section 402(c) of the Code. If after a Rollover Contribution or Roth Rollover Contribution has been made the Committee learns that such contribution did not meet those provisions, the Committee may direct the Trustee to make a distribution to the Participant of the entire amount of the Rollover Contribution or Roth Rollover Contribution received. Any amount transferred or contributed to the Trustee will be credited to the Account of the Participant as determined by the Committee. If any portion of a Participant’s benefits under the Plan is attributable to amounts which were transferred to the Plan, directly or indirectly (but not in a direct rollover as defined in Section 401(a)(31) of the Code), from a Plan which is subject to the requirements of Section 401(a)(11) of the Code, then the provisions of said Section 401(a)(11) shall apply to the benefits of such Participant. The Committee in its discretion may direct the Trustee to transfer Account balances of a group or class of Participants, by means of a trust-to-trust transfer, to the trustee (or insurance company) of any other individual account, profit sharing or stock bonus plan intended to meet the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code.

Such true up Matching Contribution will be equal to the difference between the Matching Contribution actually made on behalf of such Participant for the Plan Year as of the true up allocation date, and the full Matching Contribution that the Participant would have been entitled to receive for the Plan Year as of the true up allocation date if such Matching Contributions were determined as of the true up allocation date instead of on a quarterly basis.

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. The Committee shall direct the Trustee to distribute Before-Tax Contributions first and Roth Contributions second, to the extent necessary to meet the applicable limitations; provided however, that in the event Excess Deferrals involve amounts deferred under a plan maintained by an unrelated employer, the Participant shall be permitted to designate which type of contributions will be distributed first.

Distributions to be made in accordance with this Subsection shall be made as soon as is practicable following receipt by the Committee of written notification of Excess Deferrals, and the Committee shall make every effort to meet the April 15 distribution deadline for all written notifications received by the preceding March 1. The amount of such Excess Deferrals distributed to a Participant in accordance with this Subsection shall be treated as a contribution for purposes of the limitations referred to under Subsection 6.05. In addition, any Matching Contributions attributable to amounts distributed under this Subsection (and any income allocable thereto determined in accordance with Subsection 6.04) shall be forfeited in accordance with Subsection 10.06. Contribution adjustments under this Subsection shall comply with the requirements of Section 1.401(k)-2 of the Treasury Regulations, the provisions of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

26

6.04 Allocation of Earnings to Distributions of Excess Deferrals

     The earnings allocable to distributions of Excess Deferrals under Subsection 6.03 shall be determined by multiplying the earnings attributable to the applicable excess amounts (for the calendar and/or Plan Year, whichever is applicable) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the applicable excess amount, and the denominator of which is the balance attributable to such contributions in the Participant’s Account or Accounts, as of the beginning of such year, plus the contributions allocated to the applicable account for such year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no income shall be allocated to Excess Deferrals for the period between the end of the Plan Year and prior to the distribution of such amounts.

6.05 Contribution Limitations

     For each Limitation Year, the Annual Addition to a Participant’s Accounts under the Plan and under any other defined contribution plan maintained by any Employer shall not exceed the lesser of $49,000 (as adjusted for cost-of-living increases under Section 415(d) of the Code) or 100 percent of the Participant’s compensation for the Limitation Year. For purposes of this Subsection 6.05, “compensation” for a Limitation Year means a Participant’s compensation within the meaning of Section 415(c)(3) of the Code and Section 1.415(c)-2(b) and (c) of the Treasury Regulations that is actually paid or made available during the Limitation Year, including any differential wage payment (as defined in Section 3401(h)(2) of the Code), subject to the following:

(a)	Compensation shall include elective amounts that are not includible in the gross income of the Participant by reason of Sections 125, 132(f) and 402(g)(3) of the Code.
(b)	Compensation for a Limitation Year shall include compensation paid by the later of 2-1/2 months after a Participant’s severance from employment with the Employers or the end of the Limitation Year that includes the date of the Participant’s severance from employment with the Employers, if:

(i)

The payment is regular compensation for services during the Participant’s regular working hours, or compensation for services outside the Participant’s regular working hours (such as overtime or shift differential), commissions, bonuses, or other similar payments, and absent a severance from employment, the payments would have been paid to the Participant while the Participant continued in employment with the Employers; or

(ii)

The payment is for unused accrued bona fide sick, vacation or other leave that the Participant would have been able to use if employment had continued.

Any payment not described above shall not be considered compensation if paid after severance from employment, even if paid by the later of 2-1/2 months after the date of severance from employment or the end of the Limitation Year that includes the date of severance from employment, except for payments to an individual who does not currently perform services for the Employers by reason

27

of qualified military service (within the meaning of Section 414(u)(1) of the Code) to the extent these payments do not exceed the amounts the individual would have received if the individual had continued to perform services for the Employers rather than entering qualified military service.

(c) A Participant’s compensation for a Limitation Year shall not include compensation in excess of the limitation under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code in effect for the Limitation Year.

     The Committee shall take any actions it deems advisable to avoid an Annual Addition in excess of Section 415 of the Code; provided, however, if a Participant’s Annual Addition for a Limitation Year actually exceeds the limitations of this Subsection, the Committee shall correct such excess in accordance with applicable guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service. Annual Additions shall be subject to Section 415 of the Code and applicable Treasury regulations issued thereunder, the requirements of which are incorporated herein by reference to the extent not specifically provided in this Subsection 6.05.

28

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 or, effective July 1, 2010, any Roth 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 the Participant’s Before-Tax Contributions and, effective July 1, 2010, any Roth Contributions, as provided in Subsection 5.01, related Matching Contributions and an Annual Company Contribution, if applicable, with respect to Compensation earned through the Participant’s Separation Date (other than bonuses paid subsequent to his or her Separation Date).

(b)	He or she will not make any Before-Tax Contributions or Roth 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 or Roth Contributions, and his or her Employer will not make any Employer Contributions on his or her behalf, for any period in which he

29

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.

30

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.

(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.

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

31

(b)	Before-Tax, Rollover, Roth, Roth Rollover, and Employer 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 balances of such Current Year Before-Tax Contribution Subaccount, Current Year Matching Contribution Subaccount, Current Year Annual Company Contribution Subaccount and Current Year Transition Contribution Subaccount shall be reduced to zero. If a Special Accounting Date occurs, the accounting rules set forth above in this Subsection and elsewhere in this SECTION 8 shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the resulting shorter accounting period ending on that Special Accounting Date.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may establish separate rules to be applied on a uniform basis in adjusting any portion of Participants’ Accounts that is invested in the Hanesbrands Inc. Common Stock Fund for such accounting period, including the treatment of any dividends or stock splits with respect to the securities held in such funds. 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, and Current Year Roth Contribution Subaccount shall be reflected in the Participant’s Before-Tax Contribution Account, Matching Contribution Account, Annual Company Contribution Account, and Roth Contribution Account, respectively and the balances of such Current Year Before-Tax Contribution Subaccount, Current Year Matching Contribution Subaccount, Current Year Annual Company Contribution Subaccount, and Current Year Roth Contribution Subaccount shall be reduced to zero.

     Subject to the provisions of SECTION 4, each Participant’s Before-Tax Contributions and Roth Contributions will be credited to his or her Current Year Before-Tax Contribution Subaccount and Current Year Roth Contribution Subaccount, respectively, no later than the Accounting Date which ends the accounting period of the Plan during which such contributions were received by the Trustee.

32

     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.

     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.

33

SECTION 9

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 Investment Committee, in its discretion, may designate one or more funds, referred to collectively as “Investment Funds,” for the investment of Participants’ Accounts. The Investment Committee, in its discretion, may from time to time establish new Investment Funds or eliminate existing Investment Funds; provided that all Participants shall be offered at least three Investment Funds (consistent with applicable Treasury regulations). The available Investment Funds shall include the “Hanesbrands Inc. Common Stock Fund,” the assets of which are primarily invested in shares of Hanesbrands Stock. A portion of each Investment Fund may be invested from time to time in the short-term investment fund (STIF) of a custodian bank.

9.03 Investment of Contributions

     In accordance with rules established by the Committee, a Participant may elect to have contributions to his or her Accounts invested in one or more of the Investment Funds in even multiples of one percent. If a Participant does not make such an election within such period as may be determined by the Committee, he or she shall be deemed to have elected that all eligible contributions to his or her Accounts be invested in the default investment arrangement specified by the Investment Committee in accordance with Section 404(c)(5) of ERISA and accompanying regulations.

     Elections under this Subsection 9.03 and Subsections 9.04 and 9.05 shall be made in such manner and in accordance with such rules as the Committee determines. If the Committee determines in its discretion that elections under this Subsection 9.03 and Subsections 9.04 and 9.05 shall be made in a manner other than in writing, any Participant who makes an election pursuant to such method may receive written confirmation of such request; further, any such request and confirmation shall be the equivalent of a writing for all purposes.

9.04 Change in Investment of Contributions

     Effective as of any payroll period, a Participant may elect to change his or her investment election under Subsection 9.03. Such change shall apply only with respect to contributions made by or on behalf of the Participant that are received by the Trustee after the effective date of the change.

34

9.05 Elections to Transfer Balances Between Accounts; Diversification

     On any Accounting Date, a Participant may elect to transfer or reallocate the balances in his or her Accounts in an Investment Fund to one or more other Investment Funds, subject to the trading restrictions of the Investment Fund; any such election shall be made in accordance with rules established by the Committee, and may include an election to automatically reallocate the Participant’s Accounts on such dates as the Participant may specify in the election. The Participant’s Accounts in the Investment Fund from which a fund transfer or reallocation is made will be charged, and his or her Accounts in the Investment Fund to which such fund transfer or reallocation is made will be credited, with the amount so transferred or reallocated in accordance with rules established by the Committee. Such transfers or reallocations shall be made as soon as administratively feasible following the Participant’s election or, in the event of an automatic reallocation, on the date elected by the Participant in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. The foregoing provisions of this Subsection are contingent upon the availability of fund transfers and reallocations between Investment Funds under the terms of the investments made by each Investment Fund. A Participant’s Account may be charged a redemption fee for frequent transfers into and out of an Investment Fund within a restricted time period established by the Investment Fund. Additionally, Participants may be restricted from initiating fund transfers or reallocations into or out of an Investment Fund if the Committee or an Investment Fund determines that the Participant’s transfer activity would be detrimental to that Investment Fund.

9.06 Voting of Stock; Tender Offers

     With respect to Hanesbrands Stock, the Committee shall notify Participants of each meeting of the shareholders of Hanesbrands Inc. and shall furnish to them copies of the proxy statements and other communications distributed to shareholders in connection with any such meeting. The Committee also shall notify the Participants that they are entitled to give the Trustee voting instructions as to Hanesbrands Stock credited to their Accounts. If a Participant furnishes timely instructions to the Trustee, the Trustee (in person or by proxy) shall vote the Hanesbrands Stock (including fractional shares) credited to the Participant’s Accounts in accordance with the directions of the Participant. The Trustee shall vote the Hanesbrands Stock for which it has not received timely direction, in the same proportion as directed shares are voted.

     Similarly, the Committee shall notify Participants of any tender offer for, exchange of, or a request or invitation for tenders of Hanesbrands Stock and shall request from each Participant instructions for the Trustee as to the tendering of Hanesbrands Stock credited to his or her Accounts. The Trustee shall tender or exchange such Hanesbrands Stock as to which it receives (within the time specified in the notification) instructions to tender or exchange. Any Hanesbrands Stock credited to the Accounts of Participants as to which instructions not to tender or exchange are received and as to which no instructions are received shall not be tendered or exchanged.

35

9.07 Confidentiality of Participant Instructions

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

If a Participant’s Separation Date occurs under any other circumstances on or after January 1, 2008, the Participant shall be fully vested in his or her Matching Contribution Account balance provided he or she has completed at least two Years of Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is an active employee and has a Matching Contribution Account balance on December 31, 2007, he or she shall be fully vested in his or her Matching Contribution Account (including future contributions thereto) on and after January 1, 2008.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participants who were employed by NTX or the Employer on January 1, 2007 and whose accounts under the NTX Plan were merged into the Plan on such date shall be 100 percent vested in and have a nonforfeitable interest in all contributions made to the Plan prior to such date and on and after such date. Each other NTX Plan Participant who was not employed by NTX, the Employer or a Controlled Group Member on January 1, 2007 shall be vested in his or her Account balance to the same extent that he or she was vested at his or her Separation Date, subject to SECTION 12 of the Plan.

(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 60 days after the latest of: (i) the end of the Plan Year in which his or her Separation Date occurs, (ii) the 10th anniversary of the year in which the Participant began participation under the Plan, or (iii) the date the Participant reaches Normal Retirement Age. In the event a Participant receives a lump sum distribution of his or her entire vested Accounts and additional

38

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 or in Subparagraph 10.01(f) below, distributions may not be made to the Participant before his or her Normal Retirement Age without his or her consent. Payment of a Participant’s benefits under the Plan will not commence earlier than the termination of the Plan without the Employer or Related Company’s establishment or maintenance of another defined contribution plan.

(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. Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, a partial distribution under this Subparagraph shall not be available once a Participant or his or her surviving spouse has begun to receive installments under Subparagraph (ii) below.
(ii)	Installments. If the vested portion of a Participant’s Accounts exceeds $5,000, the 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 Plan Years, commencing in any year designated but no later than the applicable Required Commencement Date, with final distribution of all vested Accounts by the fifth year. All installment distributions shall be made in cash. A Participant or his or her surviving spouse who is receiving installments may subsequently elect to receive a lump sum distribution of all remaining installment payments. No Beneficiary other 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.
(iv)	Order of Accounts. Distributions under this Subparagraph shall be charged to the Participant’s vested Accounts (if applicable) in such order as shall be determined by the Committee and applied uniformly.

39

(v) Special Provisions Applicable to Dividends. Notwithstanding Subparagraph (a)(ii), dividends attributable to Hanesbrands Stock in a Participant’s Accounts (or shares of Sara Lee Corporation common stock previously held in the Participant’s Accounts) shall be 100 percent 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 55 and 10 Years of Service, or (ii) Normal Retirement Age.
(e)	No Payments Due to Spin-Off. Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, no Separation Date shall have occurred and no distribution of Accounts shall be made to a Participant solely on account of the Spin-Off.
(f)	Vested Accounts Not in Excess of $1,000. Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, if the Participant’s vested Accounts equal $1,000 or less on or after the Participant’s Separation Date, the method of distribution as to that Participant shall be as a lump sum cash distribution of the Participant’s vested Accounts. Such distribution shall be made as soon as practicable following the Participant’s Separation Date. If the Participant’s vested benefit under the Plan is zero, the Participant shall be deemed to have received a distribution of such vested benefit.
(g)	Special Distribution Rules for Certain Military Service Leaves. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in accordance with Section 414(u)(12) of the Code, a Participant who is performing service in the uniformed services while on active duty for a period of more than 30 days shall be treated as having been severed from employment with the employer for purposes of taking a distribution of his pre-tax compensation deferral contributions account. If a Participant elects to receive a distribution pursuant to the preceding sentence, such Participant shall not be permitted to make pre-tax compensation deferral contributions under SECTION 3 of the Plan during the six-month period beginning on the date of the distribution.

10.02 Distributions in Shares

     Distributions of amounts invested in the Hanesbrands Inc. Common Stock Fund may be made in cash or in shares, as elected by the Participant, provided such shares are distributed at their Fair Market Value, as determined by the Trustee. If a Participant elects a stock distribution of amounts invested in the Hanesbrands Inc. Common Stock Fund and the Participant subsequently has additional contributions allocated to either of said funds, the Participant shall receive such additional contributions, to the extent vested, in shares of stock in accordance with Subsection 10.01, unless such additional contributions do not exceed $1,000 as of the date of distribution. If an election is made by the Participant to direct the Trustee to distribute the

40

balance of his or her Accounts invested in the Hanesbrands Inc. Common Stock Fund in cash, the Participant shall receive cash equal to the Fair Market Value of the balance of his or her Accounts. For purposes of this Subsection, the rights extended to a Participant hereunder shall also apply to any Beneficiary or Alternate Payee of such Participant. All other distributions shall be made in cash.

10.03 Beneficiary

(a)

Designation of Beneficiary. Each Participant from time to time, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, may name or designate a Beneficiary. A Beneficiary designation will be effective only when properly provided to the Committee in accordance with its procedures while the Participant is alive and, when effective, will cancel all earlier Beneficiary designations made by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a deceased Participant’s surviving spouse will be his or her sole, primary Beneficiary unless: (i) the spouse had consented in writing to the Participant’s election to designate another person or persons as a primary Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, (ii) such election designates a Beneficiary which may not be changed without spousal consent (or the consent of the spouse expressly permits designations by the Participant without any further consent by the spouse) and (iii) the spouse’s consent acknowledges the effect of such election and is witnessed by a notary public.

(b)

No Beneficiary Designation at Death. If a deceased Participant failed to name or designate a Beneficiary, if the Participant’s Beneficiary designation is ineffective for any reason, or if all of the Participant’s Beneficiaries die before the Participant, the Committee will direct the Trustee to pay the Participant’s Account balance in accordance with the following:

(i)	To the Participant’s surviving spouse;
(ii)	If the Participant does not have a surviving spouse, to the Participant’s beneficiary or beneficiaries (if any) designated by the Participant under the Hanesbrands Inc. Life Insurance Plan;
(iii)	If the Participant does not have a surviving spouse and failed to designate a beneficiary under the Hanesbrands Inc. Life Insurance Plan, to or for the benefit of the legal representative or representatives of the Participant’s estate; and
(iv)	If the appropriate payee is not identified pursuant to Subparagraphs (i) through (iii) above, then to or for the benefit of one or more of the Participant’s relatives by blood, adoption or marriage in such proportions as the Committee (or its delegate) determines.

(c) Death of Beneficiary Prior to Participant’s Death. In the event that the Participant has named multiple Beneficiaries, and one of the Beneficiaries dies before the Participant, the remaining Beneficiaries shall be entitled to the deceased Beneficiary’s share, pro

41

rata in accordance with their share of the Account balance as of the date of the Participant’s death (or such other date as the Committee may determine is administratively practicable), subject to the Participant’s right to change his or her Beneficiary designation at any time in accordance with Subparagraph (a). The Committee reserves the right, on a uniform basis for similarly situated Beneficiaries, to make distribution of a Beneficiary’s Account balance in whole or in part at any time notwithstanding any election to the contrary by the Beneficiary.

(d)

Death of Beneficiary After Participant’s Death. Each Beneficiary, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, may name or designate an individual to receive the Beneficiary’s share of the Account balance (a “Recipient”) any time after the Participant’s death. In the event a Beneficiary dies before complete payment of his or her share of the Account balance, such Beneficiary’s share shall be paid to the Recipient designated by the Beneficiary. If a deceased Beneficiary failed to name or designate a Recipient, if the Beneficiary’s designation is ineffective for any reason, or if the Recipient dies before the Beneficiary or before complete payment of the Beneficiary’s share of the Account balance, the Committee will direct the Trustee to pay the Beneficiary’s share in accordance with the following:

(i)	To the Beneficiary’s surviving spouse;
(ii)	If the Beneficiary does not have a surviving spouse, to or for the benefit of the legal representative or representatives of the Beneficiary’s estate;
(iii)	If the Beneficiary does not have a surviving spouse and an estate is not opened on behalf of the Beneficiary, to or for the benefit of one or more of the Beneficiary’s relatives by blood, adoption or marriage in such proportions as the Committee (or its delegate) determines.

     Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all payments under this Subparagraph shall comply with the requirements of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code.

10.04 Missing Participants and Beneficiaries

     While a Participant is alive, he or she must file with the Committee from time to time his or her own and each of his or her named Beneficiaries’ post office addresses and each change of post office address. After the Participant’s death, the Participant’s Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall be responsible for filing such information with the Committee. A communication, statement or notice addressed to a Participant or Beneficiary at his or her last post office address filed with the Committee, or if no address is filed with the Committee, then at his or her last post office address as shown on the Employer’s records, will be binding on the Participant and his or her Beneficiary for all purposes of the Plan. Neither the Trustee nor any of the Employers is required to search for or locate a Participant or Beneficiary. If the Committee notifies a Participant or Beneficiary that he or she is entitled to a payment and also notifies him or her of the effect of this Subsection, and the Participant or Beneficiary fails to claim his or her Account balances or make his or her whereabouts known to the Committee within three years after the

42

notification, the Account balances of the Participant or Beneficiary may be disposed of in an equitable manner permitted by law under rules adopted by the Committee, including the Forfeiture of such balances, if the value of the Account is equal to or less than the administrative fees, if any, applicable to the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s Account balance pursuant to Subsection 10.01.

10.05 Rollovers

(a)	General Rule. Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, a Distributee under the Plan who receives an Eligible Rollover Distribution may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Committee, to have any portion of the distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee in a Direct Rollover.
(b)	Non-Spouse Beneficiary Rollovers. To the extent permitted under Section 402(c)(11) of the Code and related regulations and guidance, if a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer is made to an individual retirement plan described in Section 402(c)(8)(B)(i) or (ii) of the Code, which individual retirement plan is established for the purposes of receiving a distribution on behalf of a non-spouse beneficiary (as defined by Section 401(a)(9)(E) of the Code), the transfer shall be treated as an Eligible Rollover Distribution for purposes of the Plan and Section 402(c) of the Code.
(c)	Qualified Rollover Contributions to Roth IRAs. Solely to the extent permitted in Sections 408A(c)(3)(B), (d)(3) and (e) of the Code and the regulations and other guidance issued thereunder, an eligible Distributee may elect to roll over any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution to a Roth IRA (as defined by Section 408A of the Code) in a qualified rollover contribution (as defined in Section 408A(e) of the Code), provided that the requirements of Section 402(c) of the Code are met. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, a Distributee under the Plan who receives an Eligible Rollover Distribution may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Committee, to have any portion of the distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee in a Direct Rollover.
(d)	Direct Rollover of Roth Contributions, Roth Catch-Up Contributions and Roth Rollover Contributions. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Direct Rollover of an Eligible Rollover Distribution from a Roth Contribution Account or a Roth Rollover Contribution Account under the Plan will only be made to another designated Roth account or Roth IRA, and only to the extent the rollover is permitted under the rules of Section 402(c) of the Code. Any amount distributed from a Participant’s Roth Contribution Account and Roth Rollover Contribution Account shall be treated as a separate distribution from any amount distributed from the Participant’s other Accounts under the Plan, even if the amounts are distributed at the same time.

10.06 Forfeitures

     A Forfeiture shall be treated as a separate Account (which is not subject to adjustment under Subsection 8.02) until the next following Accounting Date on which Forfeitures will be allocated. On that date, all Forfeitures arising during the period preceding the Accounting Date which have not been previously allocated shall be allocated among and credited to the Accounts of Participants reemployed to the extent required under Subsection 12.01, shall be used to reduce Employer Matching Contributions required by Subsection 5.03 or any applicable Supplement to the Plan for the current Plan Year or succeeding Plan Years, or shall be used to reduce administrative expenses of the Plan, as determined by the Committee.

     The portion of a Participant’s Annual Company Contribution, Transition Contribution and Matching Contribution Accounts that is not distributable by reason of the provisions of

43

Subsection 10.01 shall be credited to a Forfeiture Account established and caused to be maintained by the Trustee in the Participant’s name as of the Accounting Date coincident with or next following his Separation Date (before adjustments then required under the Plan have been made). If the Participant does not return to employment with an Employer or a related Company by the last day of the month following 60 days from his Separation Date or upon the earlier distribution of his or vested Accounts, the balance in his Forfeiture Account (after all adjustments then required under the Plan have been made) will be a Forfeiture.

     If a Participant returns to employment with an Employer or a Related Company before incurring five consecutive One Year Periods of Severance, the amount previously forfeited from his Forfeiture Account, if any, will be restored to his Forfeiture Account out of Forfeitures occurring in the year of restoration or out of a restoration contribution made by the Employer for restoration purposes only.

10.07 Recovery of Benefits

     In the event a Participant or Beneficiary receives a benefit payment under the Plan which is in excess of the benefit payment which should have been made, the Committee shall have the right to recover the amount of such excess from such Participant or Beneficiary on behalf of the Plan, or from the person that received such benefit payments. The Committee may, however, at its option, deduct the amount of such excess from any subsequent benefits payable to, or for, the Participant or Beneficiary.

10.08 Dividend Pass-Through Election

     With respect to a Participant’s interest in the ESOP component of the Plan (as defined in Subsection 1.01 from time to time), each Participant has the right to elect either (a) to have dividends paid on such shares reinvested in shares of Hanesbrands Stock, or (b) to receive a distribution in cash of such dividends in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. To the extent such dividends are reinvested, they shall be 100 percent vested. Such distributions shall be made as soon as administratively practicable following each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 Plan Year quarter, and shall not constitute Eligible Rollover Distributions.

10.09 Minimum Distributions

     Distribution of a Participant’s benefits shall be made or commence by his or her Required Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may establish procedures to begin minimum distribution payments in the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70-¹/2. Distributions to a Participant after his or her Required Commencement Date shall be made in installment payments equal to the minimum amount necessary to meet the requirements of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code. All distributions under the Plan shall comply with the requirements of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the regulations thereunder (including the incidental death benefit requirement in Section 401(a)(9)(G) of the Code), the provisions of which are hereby incorporated by reference, and shall further comply with the rules described below:

44

(a) The Participant’s Accounts will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the Participant no later than the Participant’s Required Commencement Date. If the Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant’s Accounts will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows:

(i)	If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, then distributions to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70-1/2, if later;
(ii)	If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, then distributions to the Designated Beneficiary will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died;
(iii)	If there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death; or
(iv)	If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to the surviving spouse have begun, this Subparagraph (a), other than Subparagraph (i), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.

For purposes of this Subparagraph (a) and Subparagraph (c), unless Subparagraph (a)(iv) applies, distributions will be considered to have begun on the Participant’s Required Commencement Date. If Subparagraph (a)(iv) applies, distributions will be considered to have begun on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Subparagraph (a)(i). Unless the Participant’s interest is distributed in a single sum on or before the Required Commencement Date, distributions will be made as of the first Distribution Calendar Year in accordance with Subparagraphs (b) and (c) below.

(b) Required Minimum Distributions During Participant’s Lifetime. During the Participant’s lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year is the lesser of: (i) the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations, using the Participant’s age as of the Participant’s birthday in the Distribution Calendar Year; or (ii) if the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary for the Distribution Calendar Year is the Participant’s spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations, using the Participant’s and spouse’s attained

45

	ages as of the Participant’s and spouse’s birthdays in the Distribution Calendar Year. Required minimum distributions will be determined under this Subparagraph (b) beginning with the first Distribution Calendar Year and up to and including the Distribution Calendar Year that includes the Participant’s date of death.
(c)	Required Minimum Distributions After Participant’s Death.

(i) Death on or After Date Distributions Begin. In the case of a Participant who dies after the date distributions have begun, the remaining portion of his vested Accounts shall be distributed to the Participant’s Beneficiary at least as rapidly as would have been distributed under the method of distribution in effect on the day of the Participant’s death. If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions have begun and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the longer of the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant or the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary, determined as follows:

(A)	The Participant’s remaining Life Expectancy is calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year;
(B)	The Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, the remaining Life Expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death using the surviving spouse’s age as of the spouse’s birthday in that year. For Distribution Calendar Years after the year of the surviving spouse’s death, the remaining Life Expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated using the age of the surviving spouse as of the spouse’s birthday in the calendar year of the spouse’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year; and
(C)	The Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, the Designated Beneficiary’s remaining Life Expectancy is calculated using the age of the Beneficiary in the year following the year of the Participant’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.
	If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year after the year of the Participant’s death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing

46

the Participant’s Account Balance by the Participant’s remaining Life Expectancy calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

(ii) Death Before Date Distributions Begin. If the Participant dies before the date distributions have begun and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary, determined as provided in Subparagraph (c)(i). If the Participant dies before the date distributions have begun and there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, distribution of the Participant’s entire interest will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death. If the Participant dies before the date distributions have begun, the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, and the surviving spouse dies before distributions are required to have begun to the surviving spouse under Subparagraph (a)(i), this Subparagraph will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.

(d) Definitions. For purposes of this Subsection, the following definitions shall apply:

(i)	“Designated Beneficiary” means the Participant’s Beneficiary who is the designated beneficiary for purposes of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code.
(ii)	“Distribution Calendar Year” means a calendar year for which a minimum distribution is required. For distributions beginning before the Participant’s death, the first Distribution Calendar Year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year that contains the Participant’s Required Commencement Date. For distributions beginning after the Participant’s death, the first Distribution Calendar Year is the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin under Subparagraph (a). The required minimum distribution for the Participant’s first Distribution Calendar Year will be made on or before the Participant’s Required Commencement Date. The required minimum distribution for other Distribution Calendar Years, including the required minimum distribution for the Distribution Calendar Year in which the Participant’s Required Commencement Date occurs, will be made on or before December 31 of that Distribution Calendar Year.
(iii)	“Life Expectancy” means life expectancy as computed by use of the Single Life Table in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations.

47

(iv)

“Participant’s Account Balance” means the balance of the Participant’s Accounts as of the Valuation Calendar Year, increased by the amount of any contributions made and allocated to the Participant’s Accounts as of dates in the Valuation Calendar Year after the valuation date and decreased by distributions made in the Valuation Calendar Year after the valuation date. The balance of the Participant’s Accounts for the Valuation Calendar Year includes any amounts rolled over or transferred to the Plan either in the Valuation Calendar Year or in the Distribution Calendar Year if distributed or transferred in the Valuation Calendar Year.

(v)

“Valuation Calendar Year” means the last valuation date in the calendar year immediately preceding the Distribution Calendar Year.

(e) 2009 Required Minimum Distributions. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subsection, a Participant or Beneficiary who would have been required to receive required minimum distributions for 2009 under this Subsection (“2009 RMDs”) but for the enactment of Section 401(a)(9)(H) of the Code will not receive those distributions for 2009. However, a Participant or surviving spouse receiving periodic installments under Subsection 10.01(c)(ii) will receive scheduled installment payments even though all or part of those payments might otherwise be considered 2009 RMDs. Any 2009 RMDs paid pursuant to the preceding sentence may be considered Eligible Rollover Distributions, but shall not be eligible for Direct Rollover.

48

SECTION 11

Loans and Withdrawals

11.01 Loans to Participants

     While the primary purpose of the Plan is to allow Participants to accumulate funds for retirement, it is recognized that under some circumstances it is in the best interests of Participants to permit loans to be made to them while they continue in the active service of the Employers. Accordingly, the Committee, pursuant to such rules as it may from time to time establish, and upon application by a Participant supported by such evidence as the Committee requests, may direct the Trustee to make a loan from the Participant’s Accounts under the Trust Fund (with the exception of the Participant’s Matching Contribution Account, Annual Company Contribution Account and Transition Contributions Account) to a Participant who is actively at work in the employ of an Employer subject to the following:

(a) Amount of loans. The principal amount of any loan made to a Participant shall not be less than $500 and, when added to the outstanding balance of all other loans made to the Participant from all qualified plans maintained by the Employers, shall not exceed the lesser of:

(i)	$50,000, reduced by the excess (if any) of the highest outstanding balance under the Plan and all other qualified employer plans during the one year period ending on the day before the date of the loan, over the outstanding balance on the date of the loan; or
(ii)	One-half of the Participant’s vested Account balances under the Plan.

(b)	Terms and conditions of loans. Each loan must be evidenced by a written note in a form approved by the Committee, shall bear interest at a reasonable fixed rate, and shall require substantially level amortization (with payments at least quarterly) over the term of the loan. Interest rates shall be determined monthly and shall be based on the prevailing prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal; provided, however, that the rate shall not exceed six percent during any period that the Participant is on military leave, in accordance with the Service Members Civil Relief Act (“SCRA”) if the service member provides notification that he or she will be entering military service as required under SCRA.
(c)	Repayment of loans. Each loan for a purpose other than to purchase a principal residence (a “General Purpose Loan”) shall specify a repayment period of not less than six months nor more than five years, unless the proceeds of the loan are used to purchase the Participant’s principal place of residence (a “Principal Residence Loan”), in which case such loan must be repaid within 10 years after the date the loan is made.
(d)	Loans to Participants shall be made as soon as administratively feasible after the Committee has received the Participant’s loan request and such information and

49

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

50

	accordance with the investment elections in effect on the date each repayment is credited. The Committee may adopt rules and procedures for loan accounting and repayment which differ from the foregoing provisions of this Subparagraph (h), but which are consistent with the general principle that a loan to a Participant under this Subsection constitutes an investment of his or her Accounts rather than a general investment of the Trust Fund. Repayments shall be required to be invested during the month in which received or within such longer period as the Committee may reasonably determine, but in any event within the time required by Subsection 5.01. Any such repayment shall be made by payroll deduction unless otherwise permitted by the Committee.
(i)	The Committee may establish uniform rules to apply where Participants fail to repay any portion of loans made to them pursuant to this Subsection and accrued interest thereon in accordance with the terms of the loans, or where any portion of any loan and accrued interest thereon remains unpaid on a Participant’s Separation Date. To the extent consistent with Internal Revenue Service rules and regulations, such rules may include charging unpaid amounts against a Participant’s Accounts (in such order as the Committee decides), and treating the amounts so charged as a payment to the Participant for purposes of SECTION 10. The Committee may charge a Participant’s Account for reasonable and necessary administrative fees incurred in administering any loan under this Subsection in accordance with uniform rules and procedures applicable to all Participants similarly situated. Loan repayments will be suspended under the Plan as permitted under Section 414(u)(4) of the Code.
(j)	Any loan which was being administered under a Predecessor Plan and which was transferred to this Plan shall be governed by the applicable terms of this Plan on and after the transfer date.

11.02 After-Tax Withdrawals

     A Participant may withdraw all or a portion of his or her After-Tax Account, if any. The timing of such withdrawals shall be established by the Committee.

11.03 Hardship Withdrawals

     In the event a Participant suffers a serious financial hardship, such Participant may withdraw a portion of the vested balance in his or her Accounts (excluding his or her Annual Company Contribution Account, his or her Transition Contribution Account, any portion of his or her Before-Tax Contribution Account attributable to qualified non-elective contributions (if applicable), any portion of his or her Matching Contribution Account attributable to Matching Contributions made on or after February 24, 2009, any earnings credited to his or her Before-Tax Contribution Account on or after January 1, 1989, and any earnings credited to his or her Roth Contribution Account), provided that the amount of the withdrawal is at least $250.00 and does not exceed the amount required to meet the immediate financial need created by the serious financial hardship. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount required to meet the immediate financial need may include amounts necessary to pay

51

Federal, state or local income taxes or penalties that are reasonably anticipated to result from the hardship withdrawal.

(a) Immediate and Heavy Need. A hardship shall be deemed on account of immediate and heavy financial need only if the withdrawal is on account of:

(i)	Tuition, related educational fees, and room and board expenses, for up to the next 12 months of post-secondary education for the Participant or his or her spouse, children or dependents (determined under Section 152 of the Code without regard to Section 152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B));
(ii)	Costs directly related to the purchase of a primary residence for the Participant (not including mortgage payments);
(iii)	Unreimbursed medical expenses that would be deductible by the Participant for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 213 of the Code, and that are incurred by the Participant, the Participant’s spouse or any dependent (as defined in Section 152 of the Code without regard to the change in the definition under the Working Families Tax Relief Act of 2004) including any non-custodial child who is subject to the special rule of Section 152(e) of the Code; or amounts necessary to obtain medical care or medically necessary equipment or services for the Participant, the Participant’s spouse or a dependent described in this Subparagraph (iii);
(iv)	The need to prevent eviction of the Participant from his or her primary residence or foreclosure on the mortgage of the Participant’s principal residence;
(v)	Payment for burial or funeral expenses for the Participant’s deceased parent, spouse, children or dependents (as defined in Section 152 of the Code without regard to Section 152(d)(1)(B)); or
(vi)	Expenses for the repair of damage to the Participant’s principal residence that would qualify for the casualty deduction under Section 165 of the Code (determined without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10 percent of adjusted gross income).

(b) Necessary amount. A determination of whether the requirement that the withdrawal not exceed the amount required to meet the immediate financial need created by the serious financial hardship is satisfied shall be made on the basis of all relevant facts and circumstances in a consistent and nondiscriminatory manner; provided, however, that the Participant must provide the Committee with a statement on which the Committee may reasonably rely, unless it has actual knowledge to the contrary, certifying that the Participant’s financial need cannot be relieved by all of the following means:

52

(i)	Through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise,
(ii)	By reasonable liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause an immediate and heavy financial need,
(iii)	By cessation of elective contributions under this Plan, or other distributions from this Plan, and
(iv)	By other distributions, such as the distribution of dividends which are currently available to the Participant, or nontaxable (at the time of the loan) loans from Plans maintained by the Employer or by any other employer, or by borrowing from commercial sources on reasonable commercial terms.

For purposes of this Subsection, the Participant’s resources shall be deemed to include those assets of his or her spouse and minor children that are reasonably available to the Participant. Property owned by the Participant and the Participant’s spouse, whether as community property, joint tenants, tenants by the entirety, or tenants in common, will be deemed a resource of the Participant. However, property held for the Participant’s child under an irrevocable trust or under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act will not be treated as a resource of the Participant.

(c)

A Participant may not request more than two withdrawals per calendar year under this Subsection.

(d)

To obtain a hardship withdrawal, a Participant must submit his withdrawal request in accordance with procedures and within such time periods as may be determined by the Committee. Hardship withdrawals shall be made as soon as administratively feasible after the Committee has received the Participant’s withdrawal request and such information and documents from the Participant as the Committee shall deem necessary.

11.04 Age 59-¹/2 Withdrawals

     Upon making an application to the Committee, a Participant who has attained the age of 59-¹/2 may withdraw part or all of his or her vested Account balances (excluding his or her Annual Company Contribution Account and his or her Transition Contribution Account). The form and timing of such applications and withdrawals shall be established by the Committee.

11.05 Additional Rules for Withdrawals

     Withdrawals made pursuant to Subsections 11.02, 11.03 and 11.04 shall be made in cash and shall be charged to the Participant’s vested Accounts (if applicable) in such order as shall be determined by the Committee and applied uniformly. Requests for a withdrawal shall be made in such manner and in accordance with such rules as the Committee determines. If the

53

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

54

SECTION 12

Reemployment

12.01 Reemployed Participants

     Except as provided below, if a Participant is reemployed by an Employer following a termination of employment, such Participant shall resume participation in the Plan for all purposes on the first day of the first payroll period following his rehire date that he is a member of a Covered Group. If a former Employee or Eligible Employee is reemployed by an Employer, Service he or she had accrued prior to his or her termination of employment will be reinstated for purposes of determining his or her eligibility to participate in the Plan, and he or she shall become eligible to participate in the Plan in accordance with the provisions of Subsection 3.01.

12.02 Calculation of Service Upon Reemployment

(a) Reemployment with Vested Interest in Plan Accounts. If at the time the Participant terminated employment, he or she had either (A) a vested interest in his or her 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 or Roth Contribution Account, the following rules shall apply:

(i)

If the Participant is reemployed by a Controlled Group Member before he or she incurs five consecutive One Year Periods of Severance, the Participant may repay to the Trustee, within five years of his or her Reemployment Date, the total amount previously distributed to him or her from his or her Plan Accounts subject to vesting as a result of his or her earlier termination of employment. If a Participant makes such a repayment to the Trustee, both the amount of the repayment and the Forfeiture that resulted from the previous termination of employment shall be credited to his or her Accounts as of the Accounting Date coincident with or next following the date of repayment and he or she shall continue to vest in such amounts in accordance with the vesting schedule in effect at the Participant’s reemployment. In any event, the Participant’s pre-break Service shall be restored.

(ii)

If a Participant is reemployed by a Controlled Group Member on or after he or she incurs five consecutive One Year Periods of Severance, his or her pre-break Service shall count as Service for purposes of vesting in amounts credited to his or her Annual Company Contribution Account, Transition Contribution Account, Matching Contribution Account or Predecessor Company Account, as applicable, on or after such reemployment. However, pre-break Forfeitures will not be restored to such Participant’s Accounts and such Participant’s post-break Service

55

shall be disregarded for purposes of vesting in his or her pre-break Annual Company Contribution Account, Transition Contribution Account, Matching Contribution Account or Predecessor Company Account, as applicable.

(b) Reemployment with No Vested Interest in Plan Accounts. If at the time the Participant terminated employment, he or she did not have either (A) a vested interest in his or her Annual Company Contribution Account, Transition Contribution Account, Matching Contribution Account, or Predecessor Company Account, or (B) amounts credited to his or her Before-Tax Contribution Account or Roth Contribution Account, the following rules shall apply:

(i)

If the Participant is reemployed by a Controlled Group Member before he or she incurs five consecutive One Year Periods of Severance, the amount of the Forfeiture that resulted from the previous termination of employment shall be credited to his or her Accounts as of the Accounting Date coincident with or next following the date of his or her reemployment or as soon as administrative feasible thereafter and he or she shall continue to vest in such amounts. In addition, the Participant’s pre-break Service shall be restored.

(ii)

If the Participant is reemployed by a Controlled Group Member before he or she incurs five consecutive One Year Periods of Severance, pre-break Forfeitures shall not be restored to his or her Accounts. In addition, if the Participant’s number of consecutive One Year Periods of Severance exceeds the greater of five of the aggregate number of such Participant’s pre-break Service, such pre-break Service shall be disregarded for purposes of vesting in amounts credited to his or her Employer Contribution Accounts after such employment.

(c)	Forfeitures. Forfeitures that are credited to a Participant’s Accounts under this Subsection shall be allocated from amounts forfeited under Subsection 10.01 or the applicable Supplement or, in the absence of such amounts, shall reduce income and gains of the Fund to be credited under Subsection 8.02.
(d)	Transferred Participants. Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, all service of a Transferred Participant that was recognized under the Sara Lee Plan as of the July 24, 2006 (or as of a subsequent transfer of employment described in Subparagraph 2.63(b), if applicable) shall be recognized and taken into account under the Plan to the same extent as if such service had been completed under the Plan, subject to the provisions of this Section and any applicable break in service rules under this Plan and the Sara Lee Plan.
(e)	Former NTX and Sara Lee Employees. If an individual (i) was previously employed by the Sara Lee Corporation (referred to as the “prior employers” for purposes of this Subparagraph), and (ii) subsequently becomes an Employee of an Employer or a Controlled Group Member; all of the individual’s service with the prior employers

56

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

57

SECTION 13

Top-Heavy Rules

13.01 Purpose and Effect

     The purpose of this SECTION 13 is to comply with the requirements of Section 416 of the Code. The provisions of this SECTION 13 shall be effective for each Plan Year in which the Plan is a “Top-Heavy Plan” within the meaning of Section 416(g) of the Code.

13.02 Top Heavy Plan

     In general, the Plan will be a Top-Heavy Plan for any Plan Year if, as of the last day of the preceding Plan Year (the “Determination Date”), the aggregate Account balances of Participants in this Plan who are Key Employees (as defined in Section 416(i)(1) of the Code) exceed 60 percent of the aggregate Account balances of all Participants in the Plan. In making the foregoing determination, the following special rules shall apply:

(a)	A Participant’s Account balance shall be increased by the aggregate distributions, if any, made with respect to the Participant during the one year period ending on the Determination Date (including distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with this Plan under Section 416(g)(2)(A)(i) of the Code). In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death or Total Disability, the one year period shall be replaced with a five year period.
(b)	The Account balance of, and distributions to, a Participant who was previously a Key Employee, but who is no longer a Key Employee, shall be disregarded.
(c)	The Account of a Beneficiary of a Participant shall be considered the Account of a Participant.
(d)	The Account balances of a Participant who did not perform any services for the Employers during the one year period ending on the Determination Date shall be disregarded.

13.03 Key Employee

     In general, a “Key Employee” is an Employee who, at any time during the Plan Year that includes the Determination Date was:

(a)	An officer of an Employer receiving annual Compensation greater than $160,000 (as adjusted under Section 416(i)(l) of the Code);
(b)	A five percent owner of an Employer; or

58

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

A “Non-Key Employee” is an Employee who is not a Key Employee, including an Employee who was formerly a Key Employee.

13.04 Minimum Employer Contribution

     For any Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, an Employer’s contribution, if any, credited to each Participant who is a Non-Key Employee shall not be less than three percent of such Participant’s Compensation for that year. For purposes of the foregoing, contributions under Subsection 5.01 shall not be considered Employer contributions. In no event, however, shall an Employer contribution credited in any year to a Participant who is a Non-Key Employee (expressed as a percentage of such Participant’s Compensation) exceed the maximum Employer contribution credited in that year to a Key Employee (expressed as a percentage of such Key Employee’s Compensation). The minimum Employer contribution shall be made even though, under other Plan provisions, the Participant would not otherwise be entitled to receive an allocation, or would have received a lesser allocation for the Plan Year because of (i) the Participant’s failure to complete 1,000 Hours of Service, or (ii) the Participant’s Compensation being less than a stated amount. The foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Participant who was not employed by an Employer on the last day of the Plan Year.

13.05 Aggregation of Plans

     Each other defined contribution plan and defined benefit plan maintained by the Employers that covers a “Key Employee” as a Participant at any time during the Plan Year containing the Determination Date or any of the four preceding Plan Years (regardless of whether the Plan has been terminated), or that is maintained by the Employers in order for a Plan covering a Key Employee to qualify under Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code shall be aggregated with this Plan in determining whether this Plan is Top-Heavy. In addition, any other defined contribution or defined benefit plan of the Employers may be included if all such plans which are included when aggregated will continue to qualify under Section 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code.

13.06 No Duplication of Benefits

     If an Employer maintains more than one plan, the minimum Employer contribution otherwise required under Subsection 13.04 above may be reduced in accordance with regulations of the Secretary of the Treasury to prevent inappropriate duplications of minimum contributions or benefits. For any Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, a Participant who (a) is not a Key Employee, and (b) is a Participant in a defined benefit plan maintained by the Employers shall have the minimum retirement benefit provided under that defined benefit plan with an offset for benefits provided by this Plan.

59

13.07 Compensation

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

60

SECTION 14

General Provisions

14.01 Committee’s Records

     The records of the Committee as to an Employee’s age, Separation Date, Leave of Absence, reemployment and Compensation will be conclusive on all persons unless determined to the Committee’s satisfaction to be incorrect.

14.02 Information Furnished by Participants

     Participants and their Beneficiaries must furnish to the Committee such evidence, data or information as the Committee considers desirable to carry out the Plan. The benefits of the Plan for each person are on the condition that he or she furnish promptly true and complete evidence, data and information requested by the Committee.

14.03 Interests Not Transferable

     Except as otherwise provided in Subsection 14.04 and as may be required by application of the tax withholding provisions of the Code or of a state’s income tax act, benefits under the Plan are not in any way subject to the debts or other obligations of the persons entitled to such benefits and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily sold, transferred, alienated, assigned, or encumbered.

14.04 Domestic Relations Orders

     If the Committee receives a domestic relations order issued by a court pursuant to a state’s domestic relations law, the Committee will direct the Trustee to make such payment of the Participant’s vested benefits to an Alternate Payee or Payees as such order specifies, provided the Committee first determines that such order is a qualified domestic relations order (“QDRO”) within the meaning of Section 414(p) of the Code. The Committee will establish reasonable procedures for determining whether or not a domestic relations order is a QDRO. Upon receiving a domestic relations order, the Committee shall promptly notify the Participant and any Alternate Payee named in the order that the Committee has received the order and any procedures for determining whether the order is a QDRO. If, within 18 months after receiving the order, the Committee makes a determination that the order is a QDRO, any direction to the Trustee to pay the benefits to an Alternate Payee as specified in the QDRO will include a direction to pay any amounts that were to be paid during the period prior to the date the Committee determines that the order is a QDRO. If during the 18 month period the Committee determines that the order is not a QDRO or no determination is made with respect to whether the order is a QDRO, the Committee will direct the Trustee to pay the amounts that would have been paid to the Alternate Payee pursuant to the terms of the order to the Participant if such amounts otherwise would have been payable to the Participant under the terms of the Plan. The Committee in its discretion may maintain an Account for an Alternate Payee to which any amount that is to be paid to such Alternate Payee from a Participant’s Accounts will be credited.

61

The Alternate Payee for whom such Account is maintained may exercise the same elections with respect to the fund or funds in which the Account will be invested as would be permissible for a Participant in the Plan. Further, the Alternate Payee may name a Beneficiary, in the manner provided in Subsection 10.03 to whom the balance in the Account is to be paid in the event the Alternate Payee should die before complete payment of the Account has been made. Distribution of the Alternate Payee’s Account shall be made in accordance with Subsections 10.01 and 10.02, and the Alternate Payee may exercise the same elections with respect to requesting a distribution or partial distribution of his or her Account as would be permissible for a Participant in the Plan; provided that the Alternate Payee’s Required Commencement Date shall be the date on which the Participant attains (or, in the event of the Participant’s death, would have attained) the Participant’s Required Commencement Date. The Committee may direct the Trustee to distribute benefits to an Alternate Payee on the earliest date specified in a QDRO, without regard to whether such distribution is made or commences prior to the Participant’s earliest retirement age (as defined in Section 414(p)(4)(B) of the Code) or the earliest date that the Participant could commence receiving benefits under the Plan.

14.05 Facility of Payment

     When, in the Committee’s opinion, a Participant or Beneficiary is under a legal disability or is incapacitated in any way so as to be unable to manage his or her financial affairs, the Committee may direct the Trustee to make payments to his or her legal representative, or to a relative or friend of the Participant or Beneficiary for his or her benefit, or the Committee may direct the Trustee to apply the payment for the benefit of the Participant or Beneficiary in any way the Committee considers advisable.

14.06 No Guaranty of Interests

     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.

62

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.

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 15.02(c).

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.

63

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 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.

14.19 Adoption of Plan by Controlled Group Members

     With the consent of the Company, any Controlled Group Member of the Company may adopt the Plan and become an Employer hereunder. The adoption of the Plan by any such Controlled Group Member shall be effected by resolution of its Board of Directors, and the Company’s consent thereto shall be effected by resolution of the Committee.

64

SECTION 15

Amendment or Termination

15.01 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.

15.02 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.

15.03 Effect of Termination

     On termination or partial termination of the Plan, the date of termination will be an Accounting Date, and, after all adjustments then required have been made, each Participant’s Account balance will be vested in him or her and distributed to him or her by one or more of the methods described in Subsection 10.01 as the Committee decides. All appropriate accounting provisions of the Plan will continue to apply until the Account balances of all Participants have been distributed under the Plan.

15.04 Notice of Amendment or Termination

     Participants will be notified of an amendment or termination within a reasonable time.

65

15.05 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.

66

(c)	An action or a decision of a majority of the members of the Committee or the Appeal Committee, as the case may be, as to a matter shall be effective as if taken or made by all members of the Committee or the Appeal Committee, as applicable.
(d)	If, because of the number qualified to act, there is an even division of opinion among the members of the Committee or the Appeal Committee, as the case may be, as to a matter, a disinterested party selected by the Committee or the Appeal Committee, as applicable, may decide the matter and such party’s decision shall control.
(e)	The certificate of the secretary of the Committee or the Appeal Committee, as applicable, of a majority of the members that the Committee or the Appeal Committee, as the case may be, has taken or authorized any action shall be conclusive in favor of any person relying on the certificate.

16.05 Interested Party

     If any member of the Committee or the Appeal Committee, as applicable also is a Participant in the Plan, such individual may not decide or determine any matter or question concerning payments to be made to such individual unless such decision or determination could be made by such individual under the Plan if such individual were not a member of the applicable committees.

16.06 Reliance on Data
