Item 1.01.		Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

     On March 18, 2011, Hanesbrands Inc. (the “Company”), HBI Receivables LLC (“Receivables LLC”), a wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of the Company, HSBC Bank PLC 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. 8 (the “Amendment”) to the Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of November 27, 2007 (the “Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility”).

     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 an increase 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.

     In addition, in order to take greater advantage of favorable interest rates, the amount of funding available under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility, which was initially $250 million and which the Company reduced to $150 million effective February 2010, has been increased by the Amendment to $225 million. 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 March 31, 2011 to March 16, 2012.

     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 senior secured credit facility, and the Managing Agents and/or their respective affiliates may act as lenders or in other capacities under the Company’s senior secured credit facility or under other financing arrangements to which the Company or its affiliates are party.
