Item 1.01.		Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

     On December 21, 2009, Hanesbrands Inc. (the “Company”), HBI Receivables LLC (“Receivables LLC”), a wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of the Company, HSBC Bank USA, National Association and PNC Bank, N.A., as committed purchasers, Bryant Park Funding LLC and Market Street Funding LLC, as conduit purchasers, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. (“HSBC”) and PNC Bank, N.A., as managing agents (the “Managing Agents”), and HSBC, as assignee of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent, entered into Amendment No. 5 (the “Amendment”) to the Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of November 27, 2007 (the “Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility”).

     Pursuant to the Amendment, Receivables LLC is permitted to sell receivables from certain obligors back to the Company, and to cease purchasing receivables of these certain obligors from the Company in the future. The Amendment also provides for certain other amendments to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility, including changing the termination date for the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility from April 12, 2010 to December 20, 2010.

     Availability of funding under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility depends primarily upon the eligible outstanding receivables balance and other customary factors. Pursuant to the Amendment, certain of the factors that contribute to the overall availability of funding have been modified in a manner that, taken together, could result in a reduction in the amount of funding that will be available under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility. In connection with the Amendment, certain fees are due to the Managing Agents and certain fees payable to the committed purchasers and the conduit purchasers were decreased.

     From time to time, the financial institutions party to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility or their affiliates have performed, and may in the future perform, various commercial banking, investment banking and other financial advisory services for the Company and its affiliates for which they have received, and will receive, customary fees and expenses. In particular, HSBC acted as co-syndication agent and as a joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner under the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated December 10, 2009 (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”), and the Managing Agents and/or their respective affiliates may act as lenders or in other capacities under the Senior Secured Credit Facility or under other financing arrangements to which the Company or its affiliates are party.
