Senior Secured Second Lien Credit Facility

The Senior Secured Second Lien Credit Facility provides for aggregate borrowings of $450 million by our wholly-owned subsidiary, HBI Branded Apparel Limited, Inc. The Senior Secured Second Lien Credit Facility is unconditionally guaranteed by us and each entity guaranteeing the Senior Secured Credit Facility, subject to the same exceptions and exclusions provided in the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The Senior Secured Second Lien Credit Facility and the guarantees in respect thereof are secured on a second-priority basis (subordinate only to the Senior Secured Credit Facility and any permitted additions thereto or refinancings thereof) by substantially all of the assets that secure the Senior Secured Credit Facility (subject to the same exceptions).

Loans under the Senior Secured Second Lien Credit Facility will bear interest in the same manner as those under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, subject to a margin of 2.75% for Base Rate loans and 3.75% for LIBO loans.

The Senior Secured Second Lien Credit Facility requires us to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants and includes customary events of default. The Senior Secured Second Lien Credit Facility requires that we maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum total debt to EBITDA ratio. The interest coverage covenant requires that the ratio of our EBITDA for the preceding four fiscal quarters to our consolidated total interest expense for such period shall not be less than 1.5 to 1 for each fiscal quarter ending after December 15, 2006. The interest coverage ratio will increase over time until it reaches 2.5 to 1 for fiscal quarters ending after October 15, 2009. The total debt covenant requires that the ratio of our total debt to our EBITDA for the preceding four fiscal quarters will not be more than 6 to 1 for each fiscal quarter ending after December 15, 2006. This ratio will decline over time until it reaches 3.75 to 1 for fiscal quarters after October 15, 2009. The method of calculating all of the components used in the covenants is included in the Senior Secured Second Lien Credit Facility.

The Senior Secured Second Lien Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including nonpayment of principal when due; nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts after stated grace period; inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violations of covenants; certain bankruptcies and liquidations; any cross-default of more than $60 million; certain judgments of more than $60 million; certain ERISA-related events; and a change in control (as defined in the agreement).

The Senior Secured Second Lien Credit Facility matures on March 5, 2014 and includes a penalty for prepayment of the loan prior to September 5, 2009. The Senior Secured Second Lien Credit Facility will not amortize and will be repaid in full on its maturity date.
