In furtherance of this purpose, all non-employee directors shall be paid compensation for services provided to the Company as set forth below:

Additional Annual Retainer for Non-Executive Chairperson of the Board: $30,000 to acknowledge the additional responsibilities and time commitment of the Chairperson role.
Additional Annual Retainers for Committee Membership:
         Audit Committee Chairperson:                                                                        $15,000
         Audit Committee member:                                                                                  $7,500

         No additional compensation for attending individual committee meetings.  
All cash retainers will be paid quarterly, in arrears, or upon the earlier of resignation or removal of the non-employee director.  Cash retainers owing to non-employee directors shall be annualized, meaning that with respect to non-employee directors who join the Board during the calendar year, such amounts shall be pro-rated based on the number of calendar days served by such director following such director’s appointment or election.
Equity Retainers
Initial Option Grant: One-time option grant to each new non-employee director upon his/her election to the Board after the Effective Date to purchase 31,400 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the Common Stock”). Such initial option grant shall be made upon the director first becoming a director. Such initial option grant shall vest in equal quarterly installments during the 12 quarters following the grant date, subject to the director’s continued service on the Board.

On the date of each Annual Meeting of Stockholders:  Annual option grant to each non-employee director serving on the Board immediately following the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders to purchase 15,700 shares of Common Stock, provided that if at such time a director has served on the Board for less than 270 days, the number of shares subject to such option shall be reduced to the applicable amount set forth below based on such director’s length of service on the Board as of such time: 
						
	Length of Service on Board as of Annual Meeting Date	Number of Option Shares
	180 days or more, but less than 270 days	11,776
	90 days or more, but less than 180 days	7,850
	Less than 90 days	0

Such annual option grant shall vest in equal quarterly installments during the 4 quarters following the grant date, subject to the director’s continued service on the Board, provided that if the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders is held prior to the first anniversary of the grant date, the vesting of such annual option will accelerate in full as of the date of such next annual meeting of stockholders, subject to the director’s continued service on the Board as of immediately prior to such next annual meeting.
All of the foregoing option grants will become immediately exercisable upon the death, disability of a director or upon a Sale Event (as defined in the Company’s 2017 Stock Option and Incentive Plan).  In addition, if the option grants described above are in the form of options to purchase the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), the directors will have until the earlier of one year following cessation of service as a director or the original expiration date of the option to exercise the option (to the extent vested at the date of such cessation), provided that the director has not been removed for cause.
Any stock option granted to a non-employee director pursuant to this Policy will be granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant. 
Expenses
The Company shall reimburse all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by non-employee directors in attending Board and committee meetings.

  Exhibit 10.40    WBD (US) 53566970v4  KONTOOR BRANDS, INC.   Mid-Term Incentive Plan  (As Amended and Restated Effective December 16, 2021)  1. Purposes.  This Mid-Term Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the  “Plan”) of Kontoor Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) is implemented under the Company’s 2019  Stock Compensation Plan (the “2019 Plan”). The Plan is intended to provide an additional means  to attract and retain talented executives and employees, to link a significant element of such  persons’ compensation opportunity to the Company’s performance over more than one year,  thereby providing an incentive for successful long-term strategic management of the Company,  and to further the purposes of the 2019 Plan.   2. Status as Subplan Under the 2019 Plan; Administration.  This Plan is a  subplan implemented under the 2019 Plan, and will be administered by the Talent and  Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in accordance with the terms of the 2019  Plan. All of the terms and conditions of the 2019 Plan are hereby incorporated by reference in  this Plan, and if any provision of this Plan or an agreement evidencing an award hereunder  conflicts with a provision of the 2019 Plan, the provision of the 2019 Plan shall govern.  Capitalized terms used in this Plan but not defined herein shall have the same meanings as  defined in the 2019 Plan.   3. Certain Definitions.  In addition to terms defined above and in the 2019 Plan, the  following are defined terms under this Plan:   (a) “Account” means the account established for a Participant under  Section 7(a).   (b) “Administrator” means the officers and employees of the Company  responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Plan and to which other authority may be  delegated under Section 10(b).   (c) “Cause” means (i), if the Participant has an Employment Agreement  defining “Cause,” the definition under such Employment Agreement, or (ii), if the Participant  has no Employment Agreement defining “Cause,” the Participant’s gross misconduct, meaning  (A) the Participant’s willful and continued refusal substantially to perform his or her duties with  the Company (other than any such refusal resulting from his or her incapacity due to physical or  mental illness), after a demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Participant by the  Committee that specifically identifies the manner in which the Committee believes that the  Participant has refused to perform his or her duties, or (B) the willful engaging by the Participant  in misconduct materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company. For purposes of this  definition, no act or failure to act on the Participant’s part shall be considered “willful” unless  done, or omitted to be done, by the Participant not in good faith and without reasonable belief  that his or her action or omission was in the best interest of the Company.   (d) “Disability” means (i), if the Participant has an Employment Agreement  defining “Disability,” the definition under such Employment Agreement, or (ii), if the Participant  

 

    2  WBD (US) 53566970v4  has no Employment Agreement defining “Disability,” the Participant’s incapacity due to  physical or mental illness resulting in the Participant’s absence from his or her duties with the  Company on a full-time basis for 26 consecutive weeks, and, within 30 days after written notice  of termination has been given by the Company, the Participant has not returned to the full-time  performance of his or her duties.   (e) “Dividend Equivalents” means credits in respect of each PRSU  representing an amount equal to the dividends or distributions declared and paid on a share of  Common Stock, subject to Section 7(b).   (f) “Employment Agreement” means a written agreement between the  Company and a Participant securing the Participant’s services as an employee or service provider  for a period of time and in effect at the time of the Participant’s Designation of Participation (as  defined below) or, if no such agreement is then in effect, an agreement providing severance  benefits to the Participant upon termination of employment or service in effect at the time of the  Participant’s Designation of Participation (including for this purpose an agreement providing  such benefits only during a period following a defined change in control, whether or not a  change in control in fact has occurred prior to the Participant’s Termination of Employment).   (g) “Good Reason” means “Good Reason” as defined in the Participant’s  Employment Agreement. If the Participant has no such Employment Agreement, no  circumstance will constitute “Good Reason” for purposes of this Plan unless otherwise specified  in the agreement evidencing the Participant’s award of PRSUs.   (h) “Participant” means an Employee participating in this Plan.   (i) “Performance Cycle” means the period specified by the Committee over  which a designated amount of PRSUs potentially may be earned. A Performance Cycle generally  will be a period of three consecutive fiscal years of the Company. Unless otherwise determined  by the Committee, for purposes of Section 8(a)(i)(B), one full year of a Performance Cycle shall  be deemed to be completed on the earlier of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year of the  Performance Cycle or (ii) the thirty-first day of the month that falls in the week before that  fiscal-year-end date.   (j) “Performance Goal” means the performance required to be achieved as a  condition of earning a specified amount of PRSUs, including the business metric and the level of  performance required to be achieved. A Performance Goal can include more than one business  metric and related performance levels.   (k) “PRSU” or “Performance Restricted Stock Unit” means a Stock Unit that  is potentially earnable by a Participant upon achievement of the specified Performance Goal.  PRSUs that have been earned but deferred at the election of the Participant continue to be  referred to as PRSUs under the Plan, with the understanding that such PRSUs are no longer  forfeitable upon Termination of Employment or based on performance.   (l) “Pro Rata Portion” means a portion of a specified number of PRSUs  earned in a given Performance Cycle assuming continued employment throughout the  Performance Cycle, such portion determined by multiplying such number of earned PRSUs by a  

 

    3  WBD (US) 53566970v4  fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days from the beginning of the  Performance Cycle until the applicable proration date and the denominator of which is the  number of calendar days in the Performance Cycle.   (m) “Settlement Deadline” means the March 15 following the end of a given  Performance Cycle; provided, however, that the Committee may specify a different Settlement  Deadline for specific PRSUs so long as such Settlement Deadline is compliant with Code  Section 409A.   (n) “Stock Unit” means a bookkeeping unit that represents a right to receive  one share of Common Stock upon settlement, together with a right to accrual of additional Stock  Units as a result of Dividend Equivalents as specified in Section 7(b), subject to the terms and  conditions of this Plan. Stock Units, which constitute an award under Article VIII of the 2019  Plan (including Section 8.6 thereof), are arbitrary accounting measures created and used solely  for purposes of this Plan and do not represent ownership rights in the Company, shares of  Common Stock or any asset of the Company.   (o) “Target PRSUs” means a number of PRSUs designated as a target number  that potentially may be earned by a Participant in a given Performance Cycle.   (p) “Termination of Employment” means the Participant’s termination of  employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates in circumstances in which,  immediately thereafter, the Participant is not employed by the Company or any of its  Subsidiaries or affiliates; provided, however, that in the case of any PRSUs that constitute a  deferral of compensation for purposes of Code Section 409A, Termination of Employment shall  mean a “separation from service” as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h). The date of  Termination of Employment will be determined without giving effect to any period during which  severance payments may be made to a Participant, unless otherwise specifically provided herein  or in the Participant’s Award agreement.   4. Shares Available Under the Plan.  Shares issuable or deliverable in settlement  of PRSUs shall be drawn from the 2019 Plan. The Committee will monitor share usage under  this Plan and the 2019 Plan to ensure that shares are available for settlement of PRSUs in  compliance with the requirements of the 2019 Plan.   5. Eligibility.  Employees and other service providers (excluding non-employee  Directors) who are eligible to participate in the 2019 Plan may be selected by the Committee to  participate in this Plan.   6. Designation and Earning of PRSUs.    (a) Designation of PRSUs, Pre-Set Goals, Challenge Goals and Related  Terms.  At such time as it may determine, the Committee will (i) select eligible persons to  participate in a Performance Cycle, (ii) designate for each Participant the number of Target  PRSUs and the range of PRSUs the Participant shall have the opportunity to earn in such  Performance Cycle and (iii) specify the Performance Goal and the related number of PRSUs that  may be earned based on the level of achievement of the Performance Goal. The time at which  these terms have been designated for a given Participant shall be the Participant’s “Designation  

 

    4  WBD (US) 53566970v4  of Participation” for the specified Performance Cycle. The number of PRSUs potentially  earnable by each Participant shall range from a minimum of 0% to a maximum of 225% of the  specified number of Target PRSUs, unless the Committee specifies different percentage earning  levels. The Performance Goal may be specified as a table, grid or formula that sets forth the  amount of PRSUs that will be earned upon achievement of a specified level of performance  during all or part of the Performance Cycle.   (b) Adjustments to Performance Goal.  The Committee may provide for  adjustments to the Performance Goal, the Performance Cycle and other terms of Awards to  reflect changes in accounting rules, corporate structure or other circumstances of the Company,  for the purpose of preventing dilution or enlargement of Participants’ opportunity to earn PRSUs  hereunder, and subject to Section 12.15 of the Plan.   (c) Determination of Number of Earned PRSUs.  Not later than the  Settlement Deadline following the end of each Performance Cycle, the Committee shall  determine the extent to which the Performance Goal for the earning of PRSUs was achieved  during such Performance Cycle and the number of PRSUs earned by each Participant for the  Performance Cycle. The date at which the Committee makes a final determination of PRSUs  earned with respect to a given Performance Cycle will be the “Determination Date” for such  Performance Cycle. The Committee may adjust upward or downward the number of PRSUs  earned, in its discretion (subject to Plan Section 12.15), in light of such considerations as the  Committee may deem relevant, but in accordance with a standard that the number of earned  PRSUs shall correlate to the performance achieved by the efforts of management (including the  Participant) as intended at the time of setting of the Performance Goal. Unless otherwise  determined by the Committee, PRSUs that are not earned by achievement of the Performance  Goal will be immediately forfeited.   7. Certain Terms of PRSUs.    (a) Accounts.  The Company shall maintain a bookkeeping account for each  Participant reflecting the number of PRSUs then credited to the Participant hereunder. The  Account may include subaccounts or other designations showing, with respect to separate  Performance Cycles, PRSUs that remain potentially earnable, PRSUs that have been earned but  deferred and other relevant information. Fractional PRSUs shall be credited to at least three  decimal places for purposes of this Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator.   (b) Dividend Equivalents and Adjustments.  Unless otherwise determined by  the Committee (subject to Plan terms), Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or credited on PRSUs  that have been earned as follows:   (i) Regular Cash Dividends.  At the time of settlement of PRSUs  under Section 8 or 9, the Administrator shall determine the aggregate amount of regular  cash dividends that would have been payable to the Participant, based on record dates for  dividends since the beginning of the Performance Cycle (or, if later, the date of the  Participant’s Designation of Participation), if the earned PRSUs then to be settled had  been outstanding shares of Common Stock at such record date (without compounding of  dividends but adjusted to account for splits and other extraordinary corporate  

 

    5  WBD (US) 53566970v4  transactions). Such aggregate cash amount will be withheld to cover withholding taxes  applicable at the settlement date, with any amount in excess of such tax withholding  amount converted to a number of shares (or deferred shares, if applicable) by dividing  such excess amount by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the  settlement date.   (ii) Common Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company declares and  pays a dividend or distribution on Common Stock in the form of additional shares of  Common Stock, or there occurs a forward split of Common Stock, then the number of  PRSUs credited to each Participant’s Account and potentially earnable hereunder as of  the payment date for such dividend or distribution or forward split shall be automatically  adjusted by multiplying the number of PRSUs credited to the Account or potentially  earnable as of the record date for such dividend or distribution or split by the number of  additional shares of Common Stock actually paid as a dividend or distribution or issued  in such split in respect of each outstanding share of Common Stock.   (iii) Adjustments.  If the Company declares and pays a dividend or  distribution on Common Stock that is not a regular cash dividend and not in the form of  additional shares of Common Stock, or if there occurs any other event referred to in  Article XI of the 2019 Plan, the Committee may determine to adjust the number of  PRSUs credited to each Participant’s Account and potentially earnable hereunder  (including provision for the earning of property or other forms of compensation than  Common Stock), in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants’ rights with  respect to PRSUs.   (iv) Vesting and Forfeiture of Additional PRSUs.  PRSUs and other  rights to compensation that result from a stock dividend or split under Section 7(b)(ii) or  an adjustment under Section 7(b)(iii) shall be subject to the same vesting terms (including  earning based on achievement of the Performance Goal) and risk of forfeiture as applied  to the related PRSUs originally granted.   (c) Statements.  An individual statement relating to a Participant’s Account  will be issued to the Participant not less frequently than annually. Such statement shall report the  amount of PRSUs potentially earnable and the number of PRSUs earned and remaining credited  to the Participant’s Account (i.e., not yet settled), transactions therein during the period covered  by the statement, and other information deemed relevant by the Administrator. Such statement  may be combined with or include information regarding other plans and compensatory  arrangements affecting the Participant. A Participant’s statements may evidence the Company’s  obligations in respect of PRSUs without the need for the Company to enter into a separate  agreement relating to such obligations; provided, however, that any statement containing an error  shall not represent a binding obligation to the extent of such error.   8. Effect of Termination of Employment.  Unless otherwise determined by the  Committee or provided in an Agreement, the following provisions shall apply (for clarity, an  Agreement may provide for different terms regarding the effect of termination of employment):  

 

    6  WBD (US) 53566970v4  (a) Termination Prior to End of a Performance Cycle.  Except to the extent  set forth in subsections (i) through (v) of this Section 8(a), upon a Participant’s Termination of  Employment prior to the end of a given Performance Cycle, all unearned PRSUs relating to such  Performance Cycle shall cease to be earnable and shall be canceled and forfeited, and the  Participant shall have no further rights or opportunities hereunder:   (i) Retirement.  Unless the Committee determines otherwise or an  Agreement provides otherwise, if Termination of Employment is due to the Retirement of  the Participant, the Participant shall be entitled to receive settlement of the total number  of PRSUs actually earned for the Performance Cycle in accordance with Section 6(c),  except that PRSUs that have not been held for the minimum vesting period under Section  6.2 of the 2019 Plan (i.e., from the Designation of Participation to the date of  Termination of Employment by reason of Retirement) will not be earnable and will be  cancelled as of the date of Termination of Employment. Without limiting the effect of the  foregoing, if the Committee so determines or an Agreement so provides, different terms  may apply with respect to a PRSU in the event of Retirement and/or Early Retirement (as  defined in the applicable Agreement).  The settlement of PRSUs for any such  Performance Cycle shall occur promptly (and in any event not later than the Settlement  Deadline) following completion of that Performance Cycle. Any deferral election filed by  the Participant shall be effective and apply to the time of settlement of the PRSUs.    (ii) Death or Disability.  If Termination of Employment is due to the  Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant shall be entitled to receive settlement of  the total number of PRSUs the Participant actually earned for the Performance Cycle in  accordance with Section 6(c). Any deferral election filed by the Participant shall have no  effect on the time of settlement of the PRSUs.   (iii) Involuntary Termination By the Company Not for Cause Prior to a  Change in Control.  If Termination of Employment is an involuntary separation by the  Company not for Cause prior to a Change in Control, the Participant shall be entitled to  receive settlement of a Pro Rata Portion of the total number of PRSUs that would have  been actually earned for the Performance Cycle in accordance with Section 6(c),  assuming continued employment throughout the Performance Cycle. For this purpose, the  proration date (used to calculate the Pro Rata Portion) shall be the earlier of (A) the last  day of the payroll period with respect to which a severance payment in the nature of  salary continuation will be made and (B) the last day of the Performance Cycle. If no  severance payments are to be made, the applicable proration date shall be the date of  Termination of Employment. The foregoing notwithstanding, PRSUs that have not been  held for the minimum vesting period under Section 6.2 of the 2019 Plan (i.e., from the  Designation of Participation to the date of Termination of Employment without Cause)  will not be earnable and will be canceled as of the date of Termination of Employment.  The settlement of PRSUs shall occur promptly (and in any event not later than the  Settlement Deadline) following completion of the applicable Performance Cycle. Any  deferral election filed by the Participant shall have no effect on the time of settlement of  the PRSUs.   

 

    7  WBD (US) 53566970v4  (iv) At or Following a Change in Control, Involuntary Termination By  the Company Not for Cause or by Participant for Good Reason.  If Termination of  Employment occurs at or after a Change in Control and is an involuntary separation by  the Company not for Cause or a Termination by the Participant for Good Reason, the  Participant shall be entitled to receive settlement of the total number of PRSUs the  Participant is deemed to have earned in accordance with this Section 8(a)(iv), promptly  (and in any event within 30 days) following the date of Termination of Employment  (subject to the final paragraph of this Section 8(a)). The amount of the settlement shall  assume that the Participant has remained with the Company through the completion of  each open Performance Cycle and that the performance achieved by the Company with  respect to the applicable Performance Goal for each such Performance Cycle is the  average of the performance achieved for the completed year(s) in such Performance  Cycle if greater than 100% (i.e., the performance required to earn at least the Target  PRSUs), or, if such average is less than 100%, the performance achieved shall be deemed  to be the average of the actual performance for the completed year(s) in such  Performance Cycle (if any) together with performance for years not yet complete being  deemed to be 100% of target performance. Any deferral election filed by the Participant  shall have no effect on the time of settlement of the PRSUs.   (v) Termination by the Company for Cause or Voluntary  Termination by the Participant. If Termination of Employment is either by the Company  for Cause or voluntary by the Participant (excluding a Termination for Good Reason  following a Change in Control and excluding a Retirement or Early Retirement), PRSUs  relating to each Performance Cycle which has not yet ended will cease to be earnable and  will be canceled.   The foregoing provisions notwithstanding, in the case of any PRSUs that constitute a  deferral of compensation for purposes of Code Section 409A: (i) if such PRSUs would be  settled at a date related to a Termination of Employment (other than due to death) under  this Section 8(a) or in connection with a permitted elective deferral of the PRSUs, such  settlement date would be within six months after the Termination of Employment, and  the Participant is a “Specified Employee” at the date of Termination of Employment  under Code Section 409A, then the settlement date will be delayed until the date six  months after Termination of Employment; (ii) if a fiscal year ends in December, any  settlement required to follow such fiscal year end shall occur only on or after January 1;  and (iii) if a Change in Control occurs but in connection therewith no event has occurred  that constitutes a change in the ownership of the Company, a change in effective control  of the Company, or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the  Company (as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(5)), then the time of  settlement under Section 8(a)(iv) shall not be as specified therein but shall instead be at  the applicable time under Section 8(a)(iii) (for clarity, the amount of PRSUs earned  nevertheless will be determined under Section 8(a)(iv)). PRSUs for a given Performance  Cycle each will be deemed a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A. It is  intended that PRSUs that are not electively deferred hereunder constitute short-term  deferrals under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4), unless otherwise specifically  designated by the Company in the case of a specified Participant or class of PRSUs.   

 

    8  WBD (US) 53566970v4  (b) Termination After Performance Cycle.  Upon a Participant’s Termination  of Employment at or after the end of a Performance Cycle, all PRSUs resulting from such  Performance Cycle shall be settled in accordance with Section 9(a) as promptly as practicable  after the Determination Date with respect to such Performance Cycle, except that, if the  Participant has timely filed an irrevocable election to defer settlement of PRSUs following a  Termination of Employment due to Retirement (or Early Retirement), such PRSUs shall be  settled in accordance with such deferral election.   (c) Release.  Any settlement of PRSUs following Termination of  Employment may be delayed by the Committee if the Participant’s Employment Agreement or  any policy of the Committee then in effect conditions such settlement or severance payments  upon the Company receiving a full and valid release of claims against the Company. In such  case, the Company shall supply the form of release to the Participant by the date of Termination  of Employment, and Participant must sign the release and not revoke it by such date as may be  specified by the Company but in no event later than 52 days after Termination of Employment. If  such 52-day period would begin in one calendar year and end in the next, then settlement shall  only occur in the latter calendar year.   9. Settlement of PRSUs.    (a) Settlement If PRSUs Not Deferred.  Not later than the Settlement  Deadline following the end of each Performance Cycle, the Committee shall settle all PRSUs  earned in respect of such Performance Cycle, other than PRSUs deferred under Section 9(b) or  settled as specified in Section 8, by issuing and/or delivering to the Participant one share of  Common Stock for each PRSU being settled. Such issuance or delivery shall occur as promptly  as practicable after the Determination Date for the Performance Cycle.   (b) Deferral of PRSUs.  If and to the extent authorized by the Committee, at  any time on or before such date as may be specified by the Administrator, the Participant may  elect to defer settlement of PRSUs to a specified date (i) later than the Determination Date for  the Performance Cycle to which the PRSUs relate or (ii) later than Termination of Employment  due to Retirement (or Early Retirement), as specified by the Participant; provided, however, that  an optional deferral shall be subject to such additional restrictions and limitations as the  Committee or Administrator may from time to time specify, including for purposes of ensuring  that the Participant will not be deemed to have constructively received compensation in  connection with such deferral. Unless otherwise specified by the Committee not later than the  Designation of Participation, dividend equivalents shall accrue on deferred PRSUs and shall be  paid in cash annually to the Participant at an annual payment date set by the Administrator,  without interest or compounding.   (c) Creation of Rabbi Trust.  If and to the extent authorized by the  Committee, the Company may create one or more trusts and deposit therein Common Stock or  other property for delivery to the Participant in satisfaction of the Company’s obligations  hereunder. Any such trust shall be a “rabbi” trust that shall not jeopardize the status of the  Participant’s rights hereunder as “unfunded” deferred compensation for federal income tax  purposes.   

 

    9  WBD (US) 53566970v4  (d) Settlement of PRSUs at the End of the Deferral Period.  Not later than 15  days after the end of any elective period of deferral or immediately in the case of a deferral  period ending immediately prior to a Change in Control, the Company will settle all PRSUs then  credited to a Participant’s Account by issuing and/or delivering to the Participant one share of  Common Stock for each PRSU being settled. Any deferral period will end on an accelerated  basis immediately prior to a Change in Control, except as limited under Section 8(a) (final  paragraph) and Section 9(b).   (e) Manner of Settlement.  The Committee or Administrator may, in its or his  or her sole discretion, determine the manner in which shares of Common Stock shall be delivered  by the Company, including the manner in which fractional shares shall be dealt with; provided,  however, that no certificate shall be issued representing a fractional share. In furtherance of this  authority, PRSUs may be settled by the Company issuing and delivering the requisite number of  shares of Common Stock to a member firm of the New York Stock Exchange that is also a  member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, as selected by the Company from time  to time, which shares shall be deposited by such member firm in a separate brokerage account  for each Participant. If there occurs any delay between the settlement date and the date shares are  issued or delivered to the Participant, a cash amount equal to any dividends or distributions the  record date for which fell between the settlement date and the date of issuance or delivery of the  shares shall be paid to the Participant together with the delivery of the shares.   (f) Settlement of PRSUs Held by Non-US Residents.  Other provisions of the  Plan and this Plan (including Section 9(e) above) notwithstanding, PRSUs credited to the  Account of a Participant who resides in or is subject to income tax laws of a country other than  the United States may be settled in cash, in the discretion of the Committee. The cash amount  payable in settlement of each PRSU shall equal the Fair Market Value of a share at the date of  not more than five business days before the date of settlement. The Committee is authorized to  vary the terms of participation of such a foreign Participant in any other respect (including in  ways not consistent with the express provisions of the Plan) in order to conform to the laws,  regulations and business customs of a foreign jurisdiction.   (g) Tax Withholding.  The Company shall deduct from any settlement of a  Participant’s PRSUs and cash dividends payable in respect of any deferred PRSUs any Federal,  state, or local withholding or other tax or charge that the Company is then required to deduct  under applicable law. In furtherance of this requirement, the Company shall withhold from the  cash dividend equivalents deliverable as part of the settlement of PRSUs cash, and from the  shares of Common Stock issuable in settlement of a Participant’s PRSUs the number of shares  having an aggregate Fair Market Value, together with such cash, equal to any Federal, state, and  local withholding or other tax or charge that the Company is required to withhold under  applicable law, unless the Participant has otherwise elected and has made other arrangements  satisfactory to the Company to pay such withholding amounts or unless otherwise determined by  the Committee.   (h) Non-Transferability.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee,  neither a Participant nor any beneficiary shall have the right to, directly or indirectly, alienate,  assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate or encumber (except by reason of death) any PRSU, Account  or Account balance, or other right hereunder, nor shall any such PRSU, Account or Account  

 

    10  WBD (US) 53566970v4  balance or other right be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge,  encumbrance, attachment or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or any beneficiary, or to  the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of the Participant or any Beneficiary or  transfer by operation of law in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Participant or any  beneficiary, or any legal process.   10. General Provisions.    (a) Changes to this Plan.  The Committee may at any time amend, alter,  suspend, discontinue or terminate this Plan, and such action shall not be subject to the approval  of the Company’s shareholders; provided, however, that, without the consent of an affected  Participant, no such action may materially impair legally binding rights of such Participant under  this Plan. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Committee may, in its discretion, accelerate the  termination of any Performance Cycle or any deferral period and the resulting settlement of  PRSUs with respect to an individual Participant or all Participants, except that any accelerated  settlement of PRSUs that constitute a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A may  occur only in compliance with applicable Regulations and interpretations of Section 409A.   (b) Delegation of Administrative Authority.  The Committee may, in writing,  delegate some or all of its power and responsibilities under the Plan to the Administrator or any  other officer of the Company or committee of officers and employees, except such delegation  may not include (i) authority to amend the Plan under Section 10(a), or (ii) authority that  otherwise may not be delegated under the terms of the 2019 Plan, this Plan, or applicable law. In  furtherance of this authority, the Committee hereby delegates to the Administrator, as from time  to time designated, authority to administer the Plan and act on behalf of the Committee to the  fullest extent permitted under this Section 10(b). This delegation of authority to the  Administrator shall remain in effect until terminated or modified by resolution of the Committee  (without a requirement that the Plan be amended further). The authority delegated to the  Administrator hereunder shall include:   (i) Authority to adopt such rules for the administration of the Plan as  the Administrator considers desirable, provided they do not conflict with the Plan; and   (ii) Authority under Section 9(b) to impose restrictions or limitations  on Participant deferrals under the Plan, including to promote cost-effective administration  of the Plan; no restriction or limitation on deferrals shall be deemed to conflict with the  Plan.   No individual acting as Administrator (including any member of the Committee serving  as Administrator) shall participate in a decision directly affecting his or her own rights or  obligations under the Plan, although participation in a decision affecting all Participants  shall not be prohibited by this provision.   (c) Non-exclusivity of the Plan.  The adoption of this Plan shall not be  construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or Committee to adopt such  other compensation arrangements as it may deem desirable for any Participant.   

 

    11  WBD (US) 53566970v4  (d) Effective Date and Plan Termination.  This Plan became effective at the  later of the completion of the spinoff of the Company by VF Corporation or its approval by the  Committee. Once PRSUs have been granted under this Plan, the Plan will remain in effect until  such time as the Company and Participants have no further rights or obligations in respect of  PRSUs not yet settled or the Committee otherwise terminates this Plan.
