ARTICLE 2

General Terms and Conditions of the Notes




     Section 2.01. Terms of Notes. Pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 3.01 of the Base Indenture,
there is hereby established two series of Securities, the terms of which shall be as follows:



     (a) Designation. The Securities of these series shall be known and designated as the “5.950%
Notes due 2017” (the “2017 Notes”) and “6.450% Notes due 2037” (the “2037 Notes” and together with
the 2017 Notes, the “Notes”) of the Company. The CUSIP number of the 2017 Notes is 918204 AS7 and
the CUSIP number of the 2037 Notes is 918204 AT5.



     (b) Form and Denominations. The 2017 Notes and the 2037 Notes will be issued only in fully
registered form, and the authorized denominations of the Notes shall be $2,000 principal amount and
any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes will initially be issued in the form
of one or more Global Securities substantially in the form of Annex A attached hereto, with such
modifications thereto as may be approved by the authorized officer executing the same. The Notes
will be denominated in U.S. dollars and payments of principal and interest will be made in U.S.
dollars.



     (c) Maturity Date. The principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes
shall be payable in full on November 1, 2017 for the 2017 Notes and November 1, 2037 for the 2037
Notes, or if such days are not Business Days, the following Business Day (each, the “Maturity
Date”).



     (d) Interest. Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date (as defined below), the Maturity
Date, or if applicable, the Redemption Date (as defined in the Base Indenture) shall be the amount
accrued from, and including, the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which
interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including the original issue date of
October 15, 2007, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for with respect to the Notes) to
but excluding such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or, if applicable, Redemption Date, as the
case may be (each, an “Interest Period”). The Notes will bear interest at the rate of 5.950% for
the 2017 Notes and 6.450% for the 2037 Notes per year from the original issue date thereof to the
respective Maturity Date. Interest on the Notes shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1
and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2008 (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”).
The amount of interest payable for any semi-annual Interest Period will be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The amount of interest payable for any
period shorter than a full semi-annual Interest Period for which interest is computed will be
computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed per 30-day month. In the event any
Interest Payment Date on or before the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the
interest payment due on that date will be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day and no
interest shall accrue as a result of such postponement.



     In the event the Maturity Date or a Redemption Date for any Note falls on a day that is not a
Business Day, then the related payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest may be made on
the next succeeding date that is a Business Day (and no additional interest will accumulate on the
amount payable for the period from and after the Maturity Date for such Note). Interest due on the
Maturity Date or a Redemption



4









 







Date (in each case, whether or not an Interest Payment Date) will be paid to the Person to
whom principal of such Notes is payable.



     (e) To Whom Interest is Payable. Interest shall be payable to the Person in whose name the
Notes are registered at the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the Interest
Payment Date, or in the event the Notes cease to be held in the form of one or more Global
Securities, at the close of business on the date 15 days prior to that Interest Payment Date,
whether or not a Business Day.



     (f) Sinking Fund; Noteholder Repurchase Right. The Notes shall not be subject to any sinking
fund or analogous provision or be redeemable at the option of the Noteholders.



     (g) Forms. The Notes shall be substantially in the form of Annex A attached hereto, with such
modifications thereto as may be approved by the authorized officer executing the same.



     (h) Registrar, Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent and Place of Payment. The Company hereby
appoints U.S. Bank Trust National Association as Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent and
Paying Agent with respect to the Notes. The Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer
and for exchange at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in the City of
New York, New York and at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose.
The Place of Payment for the Notes shall be the Paying Agent’s office in New York, New York.



     (i) Defeasance. Until the Maturity Date, the Notes will be subject to Sections 13.02 and
13.03 of the Base Indenture.



ARTICLE 3

Change of Control Repurchase Event




     Section 3.01. Change of Control Repurchase Events. If a Change of Control Repurchase Event
with respect to the 2017 Notes or the 2037 Notes occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right
to redeem all the 2017 Notes or the 2037 Notes, the Company shall make an offer to each Noteholder
of the 2017 Notes or the 2037 Notes to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of $1,000)
of that Noteholder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal
amount of Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to the
date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any such Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at
the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of an
impending Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice (a “Change of Control Notice”) to each
Noteholder of the 2017 Notes or the 2037 Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the
transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase
Event and offering to repurchase the 2017 Notes or the 2037 Notes on the payment date specified in
the Change of Control Notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days
from the date such Change of Control Notice is mailed. The Change of Control Notice shall, if
mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to
repurchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the
payment date specified in the Change of Control Notice.



5









 






     The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any
other securities laws and regulations thereunder, to the extent those laws and regulations are
applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control
Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict
with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes, the Company shall comply with
the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its
obligations under this Section 3.01 by virtue of such conflict.



     On the Change of Control Repurchase Event payment date, the Company shall, to the extent
lawful, with respect to the 2017 Notes or the 2037 Notes:




	 	•	 	accept for payment all Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Company’s offer
(“Tendered Notes”);
	 
	 	•	 	deposit with the Trustee a cash amount in immediately available funds equal to the
aggregate repurchase price in respect of all Tendered Notes; and
	 
	 	•	 	deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Tendered Notes, together with
an officers’ certificate stating that such Tendered Notes have been properly accepted
by the Company and stating the aggregate principal amount of Tendered Notes being
purchased by the Company.





     The Trustee shall promptly mail to each Noteholder holding Tendered Notes the repurchase price
for the Tendered Notes, and the Trustee shall, to the extent necessary, promptly authenticate and
mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each such Noteholder a new security equal in
principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Tendered Notes; provided, that each new security
will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.



     The Company shall not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of
Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and
otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party
purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.



ARTICLE 4

Supplemental Indentures




     Section 4.01. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Noteholders. As set forth in Section
9.01 of the Base Indenture, with the consent of the holders of a majority in the aggregate
principal amount of Notes of each series affected by such supplemental indenture at the time
outstanding, the Company and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an
indenture or indentures supplemental to the Base Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Base Indenture or this
First Supplemental Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders.

     V.F. CORPORATION, a corporation duly incorporated and subsisting under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor
corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to
pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of $Ÿ on November [ ], 20[ ]
and to pay interest thereon from October 15, 2007, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to
which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 in each
year, commencing May 1, 2008, at the rate of Ÿ% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid

[Reverse of Note]





     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Company (herein called the
“Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of October
15, 2007 (herein called the “Base Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in
such instrument), as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 15, 2007
(herein called the “First Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the
“Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee under
the Indenture (the “Trustee”), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the
Trustee and the Noteholders and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated
and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in
aggregate principal amount to $Ÿ. The Company may at any time issue additional notes under
the Indenture in unlimited amounts having the same terms as the Notes.



     The Notes of this series are subject to redemption, as a whole or from time to time in part,
upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice mailed to each Noteholder of Notes to be
redeemed at his address as it appears in the Securities Register, on any date prior to their Stated
Maturity at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such
Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date or (ii) as
determined by a Quotation Agent (as defined below), the sum of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of
interest accrued as of the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as
defined below), plus Ÿ basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the
Redemption Date; provided that unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on
or after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called
for redemption.



     “Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal
to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price
for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the
Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity
will be computed as of the third business day immediately preceding the Redemption Date.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) means the United
States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the
remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized in accordance with customary
financial practice in pricing new issues of corporate notes of comparable maturity to the remaining
term of the Notes. “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (i) the
average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, provided that if
three or more Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations are obtained, the highest and lowest of such
quotations shall be excluded from the calculation. “Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury
Dealer appointed by the Company. “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) Citigroup Global Markets
Inc. and its respective successors; provided, however, that, if the foregoing shall cease to be a

date specified in the Change of Control Notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no

other securities laws and regulations thereunder, to the extent those laws and regulations are

the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its
obligations under the Indenture by virtue of such conflict.

the Tendered Notes, and the Trustee shall, to the extent necessary, promptly authenticate and mail

principal amount of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.



     The Company shall not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of

otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party
purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.
