On October 16, 2008, the Board of Directors of VF approved an amended and restated form of Change in Control
Agreement (the Agreement) to be entered into with each executive officer of VF. The form of
Change in Control Agreement was modified from the form of Change in Control Agreement filed as Exhibit 10(c) to Form 8-K filed on December 17, 2004, to bring the Agreement into compliance with IRS Code
Section 409A (principally by eliminating or reducing executives discretion). The Agreement, which provides substantially the same benefits as those described in VFs 2008 Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2008,
regarding the previous form of Agreement, includes a number of reductions in benefits for the executives, as well as
the addition of acceleration of restricted stock and payment of a pro rata portion of the executives
bonus, both contingent upon a termination of the executives employment following a change in control of VF, as are all benefits under the Agreement. The form of Change in Control Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
