Exhibit 10(B)


FOURTH SUPPLEMENTAL ANNUAL BENEFIT DETERMINATION

PURSUANT TO THE VF CORPORATION AMENDED AND

RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN



Article I. Purpose



The purpose of this Fourth Supplemental Annual Benefit Determination (the
“Determination”) is to provide to designated Participants a Supplemental
Pension under the VF Corporation Amended and Restated Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan (the “SERP”).


Article II. Definitions



As used herein, words and phrases shall have such meanings as are set forth in
the SERP, the VF Corporation Pension Plan (“Pension Plan”), and the VF
Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”).
“Committee” shall mean the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors of VF Corporation.


Article III. Eligibility for Benefits



The Supplemental Pension shall be payable to the Participant if his employment
ceases by reason of: 1) retirement on his Normal Retirement Date, 2)
termination of employment or 3) death while an Employee.


Article IV. Supplemental Pension Benefits



          4.01 Normal Retirement: The Participants in this Determination shall
receive the following Supplemental Pension payable at Normal or Late
Retirement:




	 	(a)	 	The Normal Retirement Benefit otherwise payable to the
Participant under the Pension Plan computed without reduction for
any compensation deferred by the Participant under the Deferred
Compensation Plan.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Supplemental Pension set forth in Section 4.01(a) shall be
reduced by any benefits payable to the Participant under the
Pension Plan.



          4.02 Termination of Employment: The Supplemental Pension payable by
reason of the Participant’s termination of employment shall be equal to the
benefit provided by Section 4.01 above multiplied by a fraction. The numerator
of this fraction shall be the number of full and part years of the
Participant’s employment with the Corporation. The denominator of this
fraction shall be the number of full and part years of the Participant’s
employment as if the Participant had been employed until Normal Retirement
Date.



          4.03 Death while an Employee: The Supplemental Pension payable upon the
death of the Participant while an Employee shall be as provided by Section
4.02.



          4.04 Form of Supplemental Pension: The form of benefits payable to the
Participant shall be the form which has been elected under the Pension Plan
unless the Participant or Beneficiary has elected a different form under this
Determination. Except as

 






 




otherwise provided in this Section 4.04, payment of
Supplemental Pension benefits hereunder shall commence at the same time as the
Participant’s or Beneficiary’s benefits commence under the Pension Plan, and
shall be subject to the same reductions for commencement of payments prior to
Normal Retirement Date as apply to the recipient’s benefits under the Pension
Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may elect to receive in a
lump sum the actuarial present value of his or her Supplemental Pension under
this Determination, and if a Participant dies while employed, his or her
Beneficiary may elect to receive in a lump sum the actuarial present value of
the Participant’s Supplemental Pension under this Determination. The lump sum
actuarial present value calculations shall be based on an interest rate
assumption equal to the expected rate of return on assets for financial
accounting purposes under the Pension Plan for the year in which the lump sum
payment is to be made and on the mortality assumption set forth in the Pension
Plan for purposes of calculating lump sum payments.



Article V. Participants



The Committee designates as Participants for purposes of this Determination any
Employees who participated at any time in the Deferred Compensation Plan,
provided, however, that any Employees who have been designated in any other
SERP Determination shall be excluded from this Determination to the extent that
such other Determination provides for the Supplemental Pension set forth above.


Article VI. Vesting



The Participant shall become vested in the Supplemental Pension payable
pursuant to this Determination upon satisfaction of the vesting period provided
in the SERP. Nothing in this Determination shall preclude the Board of
Directors from discontinuing eligibility to participate in the SERP and this
Determination at any time before the Participant shall become vested hereunder.


Article VII. Adoption



This Determination was approved and adopted by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation on February 13, 1990, to be effective as of January 1, 1985. This
document includes all amendments adopted through February 21, 2003.
