3. Option Type. This Award is comprised of Nonqualified Stock Options and is intended to conform in all respects with the Plan. 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 (the “Code”).

4. Expiration Date. The Option Shares granted herein expire on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”), subject to earlier expiration upon certain termination of employment, as provided below.

5. Vesting. This Award may be exercised only to the extent it has vested. Except as provided below in Paragraphs 6, 7 and 8, these Option Shares will remain restricted until the end of each applicable vesting date set forth below (each, a “Vesting Date”). The stock options granted under this Agreement are not transferable by the Grantee by means of sale, assignment, exchange, pledge, or otherwise. For each of the below-stated Vesting Dates on which you continue to be employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “HBI Companies”), you will vest in the below-stated percentage of the total number of Option Shares awarded in this Agreement, until you are 100% vested:

Vesting Date		Tranche
August 3, 2021		Tranche 1
August 3, 2022		Tranche 2
August 3, 2023		Tranche 3

6. Death, or Total Disability. In the event that you die or become totally disabled while employed by the HBI Companies, including during the period that you remain employed after giving notice of your intended retirement pursuant to Paragraph 7(b) below, all Option Shares will vest as of the date of death or the date you are determined to be totally disabled, and the last date on which Option Shares may be exercised is the Expiration Date. For purposes of this Paragraph 6, you shall be deemed to be totally disabled if, due to a physical or mental disability, you are unable to continue in any occupation with the HBI Companies for a continuous period of at least 12 months.

7. Retirement.

a. If you comply with the requirements to retire from the HBI Companies as defined in this Paragraph, then the restrictions on outstanding Option Shares requiring you to continue your employment until a Vesting Date shall immediately lapse and the last date on which Option Shares may be exercised is the Expiration Date.

b. For purposes of this Agreement, you shall only be considered to have retired if you voluntarily cease active employment with the HBI Companies after each of the following conditions have been met: (i) you both attain at least age 50 and complete at least 10 years of service with the HBI Companies since your most recent date of hire, and thereafter provide at least six months’ written notice of your intended retirement, (ii) the Committee accepts in writing your intended retirement, subject to successfully fulfilling transition duties and responsibilities and remaining employed until a retirement date set by the Committee, it being understood that these duties and responsibilities are in addition to your regular duties and responsibilities, and may require continued employment beyond the end of the six month notice period, (iii) the Committee determines that you have successfully fulfilled your transition duties and responsibilities, and (iv) you enter into a written agreement with the Company (in a form acceptable to the Company) in which you agree to release any claims against the HBI Companies within twenty-one days after employment termination (or such longer period of time as required

2020 Inducement Stock Option Grant Agreement – U.S. (Updated July 2020) Page 2 of 10

under applicable law to have a binding release of one or more claims) and comply with the cooperation, non-compete, non-solicitation, confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions therein (collectively, the “Restricted Covenants”). The Committee shall, in its sole discretion, (i) decide whether or not to accept your intended retirement, (ii) set forth in writing the terms of your transition duties and responsibilities and your retirement date and (iii) determine whether or not you have successfully met your transition duties and responsibilities not later than 60 days after your employment termination. Your unvested Option Shares shall be forfeited upon a voluntary termination of employment if you do not fulfill any of the requirements set forth in this Paragraph 7(b). Actions taken by the Committee in this Paragraph 7(b) shall be final and binding.

c. For purposes of this Paragraph 7, (i) references to the Committee shall mean, in the case of grantees other than executive officers, the Company’s head of human resources or such other individual as designated for this purpose by the Chief Executive Officer, and (ii) continuous service with an entity acquired by the Company will be counted if you were employed by the acquired entity immediately prior to the acquisition date and remained employed by the HBI Companies continuously thereafter.

8. Other Terminations of Employment and Change in Control.

a. Involuntary Termination With Severance. If your employment is involuntarily terminated by the HBI Companies (other than in connection with a Change in Control as defined in the Plan) and you are eligible to receive severance benefits under any written severance plan of the Company (a “Severance Event Termination”), then vesting continues for 90 days after the date of termination, and the last date on which vested Option Shares may be exercised is 90 days after the date your employment is involuntarily terminated.

b. Involuntary Termination Without Severance. If your employment is involuntarily terminated by the HBI Companies and you are not eligible to receive severance benefits under any written severance plan of the Company (i.e., your employment is terminated for “cause”), all vested and unvested Option Shares are forfeited on the date of termination and may not be exercised.

c. Voluntary Termination. If you voluntarily terminate your employment with the HBI Companies, other than as described in Paragraph 7 above, all unvested Option Shares are forfeited on the date of termination, and the last date on which vested Option Shares may be exercised is the 90-day anniversary of the date of termination.

d. Change in Control. In the event a Change in Control occurs, then the following provisions will apply:

(i) To the extent no provision is made in connection with the Change in Control for an Award that satisfies the requirements of Paragraph 8(d)(ii) below (a “Replacement Award”) in assumption of or substitution for this Award, if this Award is outstanding immediately prior to the Change in Control (an “Existing Award”), then, on the date of the Change in Control (A) all restrictions on outstanding Option Shares shall lapse, (B) the Option Shares shall become exercisable and (C) the last date on which Option Shares may be exercised is the Expiration Date.

(ii) An Award meets the conditions of this Paragraph 8(d)(ii) (and hence qualifies as a “Replacement Award” for an Existing Award) if (A) it is stock option, (B) it has a value at least equal to the value of the Existing Award, (C) it relates to publicly traded equity securities of the Company or its successor in the Change in Control or its “parent corporation” (as defined in Code Section 424(e)) or

2020 Inducement Stock Option Grant Agreement – U.S. (Updated July 2020) Page 3 of 10

“subsidiary corporation” (as defined in Code Section 424(f)) following the Change of Control, (D) the Grantee holding the Existing Award is subject to U.S. federal income tax under the Code, the tax consequences to such Grantee under the Code of the Replacement Award are not less favorable to such Grantee than the tax consequences of the Existing Award, and (E) the Replacement Award’s other terms and conditions are not less favorable to such Grantee than the terms and conditions of the Existing Award (including the provisions that would apply in the event of a subsequent Change in Control and provisions with respect to dividend equivalents). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Replacement Award may take the form of an assumption of the Existing Award if the requirements of the preceding sentence are satisfied. The determination of whether the conditions of this Paragraph 8(d)(ii) are satisfied will be made by the Committee, as constituted immediately before the Change in Control, in its sole discretion.

(iii) If the Grantee terminates his or her employment for Good Reason (as defined below) or the Grantee is involuntarily terminated for reasons other than for Cause (as defined below), in each case during the period of two years after the Change in Control, all restrictions on outstanding Option Shares shall lapse, and (A) all restrictions on outstanding Option Shares shall lapse, (B) the Option Shares shall become exercisable and (C) the last date on which Option Shares may be exercised is the Expiration Date.

For purposes of this Paragraph 8(d),

“Cause” means the Grantee:

• has been convicted of (or pled guilty or no contest to) a felony or any crime involving fraud, embezzlement, theft, misrepresentation or financial impropriety;

• has willfully engaged in misconduct resulting in material harm to the Company;

• has willfully failed to perform duties after written notice; or

• is in willful and material violation of Company policies resulting in harm to the Company.

“Good Reason” means any of the following actions by the Grantee’s employer without the Grantee’s written consent:

• The assignment to the Grantee of any duties materially inconsistent with his or her position (including status, offices, titles and reporting relationships), authority, duties or responsibilities, or any other action by such employer which results in a diminution in such title, position, authority, duties or responsibilities thereof given to the Grantee;

• Any material breach by such employer of a material provision of any agreement between such employer and Grantee; for example, without limitation, a reduction in Grantee’s base salary or target bonus opportunity or failure to provide incentive opportunities to the Grantee shall be deemed to be such a material breach;

• The relocation of the Grantee’s principal place of employment to a location more than 50 miles from the Grantee’s principal place of employment immediately prior to the Change of Control or the Company requiring the Grantee to be based anywhere other than such principal place of employment (or permitted relocation thereof), except for required travel on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with the Grantee’s business travel obligations immediately prior to the Change in Control; or

• The Company terminates or materially amends, or materially restricts the Grantee’s participation in, any equity, bonus or equity-based compensation plans or qualified or

2020 Inducement Stock Option Grant Agreement – U.S. (Updated July 2020) Page 4 of 10

supplemental retirement plans so that, when considered in the aggregate with any substitute plan or plans, the plans in which the Grantee is participating materially fail to provide him or her with a level of benefits provided in the aggregate by such plans prior to such termination or amendment.

9. 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, as permitted by the Committee from time to time in its sole discretion:

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; provided, however, cash delivery is not available to active employees of the Company).

You are required, not later than the date as of which the exercise of this Award becomes a taxable event for Federal income tax purposes, to pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for payment of any Federal, state, and local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. You may elect, subject to such terms and conditions may from time to time be approved by the Committee in its discretion, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold such number of shares of Common Stock not in excess of the maximum amount required to satisfy federal, state and local tax withholding attributable to the exercise of this Award.

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.

10. Forfeiture/Right of Offset. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if you engage in any activity inimical, contrary or harmful to the interests of the Company or any Subsidiary, including but not limited to: (a) without the prior written consent of the Company, counseling or becoming employed by, or otherwise engaging or participating in, or performing consulting services for, any Competing Business (regardless of whether you receive any compensation of any kind), where “Competing Business” means any business that competes with any business that the HBI Companies conducted as of the date your employment terminates with the HBI Companies, (b) violating the Company’s Global Code of Conduct, employment policies, or any employment agreement (c) without

2020 Inducement Stock Option Grant Agreement – U.S. (Updated July 2020) Page 5 of 10

the prior written consent of the Company, inducing or attempting to induce any employee of the HBI Companies to leave the employ of the HBI Companies, interfering with the relationship between the HBI Companies and any employee or prospective employee thereof, or hiring or causing the hiring of any person who is an employee of the HBI Companies, (d) without the prior written consent of the Company, calling on, soliciting or servicing any customer of the HBI Companies in order to induce or attempt to induce such person or entity to cease or reduce doing business with the HBI Companies or interfering with the relationship between the HBI Companies and any such customer, (e) failing to cooperate with the HBI Companies, as described in Xxxxxxxxx 00 xxxxx, (x) disclosing or misusing any confidential information regarding the HBI Companies, (g) participating in any activity not approved by the Board which could reasonably be foreseen as contributing to or resulting in a Change of Control, or (h) disparaging or criticizing, orally or in writing, the business, products, policies, decisions, directors, officers or employees of the HBI Companies or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to any person (all such activities described in (a)-(h) above collectively referred to as “wrongful conduct”), then (i) this Award, to the extent it remains unexercised, shall terminate automatically and (ii) you shall pay to the Company in cash any financial gain you realized from exercising all or a portion of this Award. For purposes of this Paragraph 10 and Paragraph 22 below, financial gain shall equal, on each date of exercise during the 12- month period immediately preceding such wrongful conduct, the difference between the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise and the Exercise Price, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to that exercise (without reduction for any shares of Common Stock surrendered or attested to) reduced by any taxes paid in countries other than the United States with respect to such vesting and which taxes are not otherwise eligible for refund from the taxing authorities. By accepting this Agreement, you consent to and authorize the Company to deduct any amounts you owe to the Company under this Paragraph from any amounts payable by the Company to you for any reason. This right of set-off is in addition to any other remedies the Company may have against you for your breach of this Agreement. In addition, by accepting this Agreement, you consent to and authorize the Company to deduct any amounts you owe to the Company for any reason from any amounts payable by the Company to you under this Agreement.

The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement and the Award described herein (and any settlement thereof) are also subject to the terms and conditions of Company’s clawback policy as may be in effect from time to time specifically to implement Section 10D of the Exchange Act and any applicable rules or regulations promulgated thereunder (including applicable rules and regulations of any national securities exchange on which the Stock may be traded) (the “Compensation Recovery Policy”), and that relevant sections of this Agreement shall be deemed superseded by and subject to the terms and conditions of the Compensation Recovery Policy from and after the effective date thereof.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, you shall not be restricted from: (i) disclosing information that is required to be disclosed by law, court order or other valid and appropriate legal process; provided, however, that in the event such disclosure is required by law, you shall provide the Company with prompt notice of such requirement so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order prior to any such required disclosure by you; or (ii) reporting possible violations of the laws of your country or of United States federal, state, or local law or regulation to any governmental agency or commission (each a “Government Agency”), filing a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other Government Agency, participating in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of the laws of your country or of United States federal, state, or local law or regulation. In the event of (ii), you shall not need the prior authorization of the Company to make any such reports or disclosures, you shall not be required to notify the Company that you have made such reports or disclosures, and you acknowledge that you have waived your right to receive any monetary payment from the Company in connection with any such reports or disclosures or any ensuing charge or investigation.

You further acknowledge that this Award is for future services to the HBI Companies and is not under any circumstances to be considered compensation for past services.

18. Consent to Transfer Personal Data.
