Hanesbrands Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan of 2006

The purpose of the Hanesbrands ESPP is to provide an opportunity for eligible employees and eligible employees of designated subsidiaries to purchase a limited number of shares of our common stock at a discount through voluntary automatic payroll deductions. The Hanesbrands ESPP is designed to attract, retain, and reward our employees and to strengthen the mutuality of interest between our employees and our stockholders. The Hanesbrands ESPP will be administered by our Compensation and Benefits Committee. We intend to implement the terms of the Hanesbrands ESPP in 2007. The aggregate number of shares of our common stock that may be issued under the Hanesbrands ESPP will not exceed 2,442,000 shares (subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, or similar transaction). All of our U.S. employees (other than any employee who owns more than 5% of our stock) may participate in the Hanesbrands ESPP other than employees whose customary employment is 20 hours or less per week or employees whose customary employment is for not more than five months per year. The Compensation and Benefits Committee, in its discretion, may extend the Hanesbrands ESPP to international employees.

The maximum amount eligible for purchase of shares through the ESPP by any employee in any year will be $25,000.

Payroll Deductions and Purchase of Shares

An employee may contribute from his or her cash earnings through payroll deductions (within such limits as the Committee may determine) during an offering period and the accumulated deductions will be applied to the purchase of shares on the first day of the next following offering period. The plan will provide for consecutive offering periods of three months each on a schedule determined by the Committee. The purchase price per share will be at least 85% of the fair market value of our shares at the beginning of the next offering period.

Our board of directors may at any time amend, suspend or discontinue the Hanesbrands ESPP, subject to any stockholder approval needed to comply with the requirements of the SEC, the Code and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.
