This Award is comprised of non-qualified stock options and is intended to conform in all respects with the Plan, a copy of which is available from the Company’s Compensation and Benefits Department, and the provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference. This Award is not intended to qualify as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
     4. Expiration Date. The Option Shares granted herein expire on the [_________] anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”), subject to earlier expiration upon your death, disability or other termination of service, as provided below.
     5. Vesting. This Award may be exercised only to the extent it has vested. Subject to the restrictions of this Paragraph and Paragraph 6 below, and provided that, for each of the below-stated dates on which you continue to serve on the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), you will vest in the below-stated percentage of the total number Option Shares awarded under this Agreement until you are 100% vested in your Award:

If your Board service is terminated due to your death or permanent and total disability, all Option Shares will vest as of the date of death or the date you are determined to be permanently and totally disabled, and the last date on which vested Option Shares may be exercised is the Expiration Date.
     6. Termination of Service. Effective upon the date your Board service is terminated (other than for death or permanent disability as described in Paragraph 5), any Options Shares not vested will be forfeited, and the last date on which vested Option Shares may be exercised is the Expiration Date.
     7. Exercise. This Award may be exercised in whole or in part for the number of Option Shares designated by you on either a paper form specified by the Company or via electronic instructions to the Company’s designated agent. Any such exercise of this Award shall be accompanied by full payment of the Exercise Price for such number of Option Shares. Payment of the Exercise Price may be made in one of the following forms:
     a. in cash;
     b. by surrendering previously acquired shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the Exercise Price;
     c. by certifying ownership of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the Exercise Price in exchange for a reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Award; or
     d. to the extent permitted by applicable law, by delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to (1) promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale proceeds from the Stock Option shares or loan proceeds to pay the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes due to the Company, and (2) deliver to you the balance of the Stock Option proceeds in the form of cash or shares of Common Stock (as you select).
In connection with any payment of the Exercise Price by surrender or attesting to the ownership of shares of Common Stock, proof acceptable to the Company shall be submitted substantiating the shares owned. The value of previously acquired shares submitted (directly or by attestation) in payment for the Option Shares purchased upon exercise shall be equal to the aggregate fair market value (as defined in the Plan) of such previously acquired shares on the date of the exercise. Option Shares will be considered finally exercised on the date on which your payment of the Exercise Price has been received by the Company. The exercise of any portion of this Award will be considered your acceptance of all terms and conditions specified in this Agreement. You are personally responsible for the payment of all taxes related to the exercise.
     8. Adjustments. If the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock is changed as a result of a stock split or the like without additional consideration to the Company, the number of Option Shares subject to this Award and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to correspond to the change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
     9. Rights as a Stockholder. You shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Option Shares, including the right to vote, until and unless the ownership of such Option Shares has been transferred to you.
     10. No Rights to Continued Service. Nothing in this Agreement, the Participation Guide/Prospectus for Hanesbrands Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan of 2006 (the “Plan Prospectus”), or the Plan confers on any Grantee any right to continue on the Board. You further acknowledge that this Award is for future services to the Company and is not under any circumstances to be considered compensation for past services.
