Excerpt from Corporate Governance Guidelines describing director compensation

Directors who are not employees of the Company are compensated for their
services by fees in cash and stock. All directors are reimbursed for expenses
incurred in connection with such services. In addition, the Company provides
travel and liability insurance to all directors.

Currently, directors' fees are as follows:

Annual Retainer:

Directors receive a $95,000 annual retainer. $50,000 of the annual retainer is
received in shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the
Directors' Annual Retainer Plan approved by the Board in February 2009. The Plan
is subject to stockholder approval. The Company expects to seek stockholder
approval at the 2009 Annual Meeting.

Share Ownership Guidelines:

The Board has adopted share ownership guidelines for the Chief Executive Officer
and the Board. Under these guidelines, directors are generally expected to
retain ownership of shares of Common Stock awarded or acquired until an
ownership equal to three (3) times the annual cash and stock retainer is
attained. A director who has attained this level may elect to receive in cash
all or a portion of a retainer payment otherwise payable in shares of Common
Stock.

Meeting Fees:

In lieu of meeting fees, each director who is not a member of the Audit
Committee receives an additional annual retainer of $25,000, all of which is
payable in shares of Class A common stock. In lieu of meeting fees, each
director who is a member of the Audit Committee also receives an additional
annual retainer of $25,000, all of which is payable in shares of Class A common
stock, plus an additional annual cash retainer of $5,000. The share portion of
this additional retainer is issued pursuant to the Directors' Annual Retainer
Plan.

Directors receive cash fees of $1,500 for each special meeting of the Board and
$1,000 for each special meeting of a committee that they attend in person or by
telephone. Directors receive $750 for their participation in each special
meeting of the Board or a committee that is designated as a telephone meeting.
The special meeting fees received by a director for any one day may not exceed
$2,500.

Other Fees:

The Chairman of each standing committee, other than the Audit Committee,
receives an annual fee of $5,000 for such service. The Chairman of the Audit
Committee receives an annual fee of $10,000 for such service. The Chairman of
the Board receives an annual fee of $50,000 for such service. The Vice Chairman
of the Board receives an annual fee of 25,000 for such service. Directors
receive $1,500 for each day that they are engaged in Company business (other
than attendance at Board or committee meetings) at the request of the Chairman
of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer.exv10ww

Exhibit 10(W)

VF CORPORATION

AMENDED AND RESTATED

DEFERRED SAVINGS PLAN FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

     Effective as of March 1, 1997, VF Corporation (the “Company”) established the Deferred Savings
Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “Plan”), pursuant to which non-employee members of its Board
of Directors may elect to defer receipt of all or any portion of the compensation payable to them
for services rendered to the Company. The intention of VF Corporation is that the Plan at all
times be maintained on an unfunded basis for federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), and exempt from the requirements of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).

     The Company desires to amend and restate the Plan effective as of January 1, 2005, to bring
the Plan into compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Plan is intended
to be a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that complies with the provisions of Section 409A
of the Code, and has been operated from January 1, 2005 through the date of adoption of this
amended and restated Plan in good faith compliance with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code
and guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

SECTION I

hereunder.

     8. “Director” means a member of the Board of Directors of the Company.

     9. “Grandfathered Amount” means a Participant’s Deferrals to the Plan in taxable years
beginning before January 1, 2005 (and credited gains or losses attributable thereto); provided,
however, that the Plan is not “materially modified” (within the meaning of the regulations under
Section 409A of the Code) with respect to the Participant after October 3, 2004.

     10. “Participant” means a Director who is not employed by the Company or any of its

     14. “Spouse” means the person to whom the Participant is legally married.

SECTION II

ELIGIBILITY

     1. A Director shall be eligible to make Deferral elections under this Plan as long as he or
she (a) remains a Director of the Company and (b) is not concurrently employed by the Company or
any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

     2. Participation in this Plan is voluntary.

SECTION III

DEFERRALS

     1. Election. A Participant may elect to defer up to 100% of his or her Compensation
for a Plan Year by directing the Company to reduce his or her Compensation for the Plan Year by a
whole percentage or amount authorized by an election executed by the Participant and filed with and
approved by the Committee. Such Deferral election shall be made on or before December 31 of the
calendar year preceding the Plan Year to which the election relates. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a new Participant may elect to defer up to 100% of the Compensation that he or she would
otherwise be entitled to receive in the Plan Year in which the

-2-

 

Director’s election as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors becomes effective,
beginning with Compensation earned following the filing of a Deferral election with the Committee
and before the close of such Plan Year, by executing and filing a Deferral election with the
Committee within thirty (30) days of the effective date of such Director’s election. A
Participant’s Deferral election for a Plan Year is irrevocable.

     2. Non-Deferred Compensation. Any Compensation not deferred under this Plan shall be
paid in accordance with normal Company policy.

     3. Vesting. A Participant shall have a fully vested and nonforfeitable right to his
or her Deferrals and any credited gains or losses attributable thereto.

     4. Separate Election for Each Plan Year. A separate Deferral election shall be made
for each Plan Year for which a Participant desires to defer all or any portion of his or her
Compensation for such Plan Year. The failure of a Participant to make a Deferral election for any
Plan Year shall not affect such Participant’s right to make a Deferral election for any other Plan
Year.

     5. Election of Form of Payment. At the time that a Participant makes a Deferral
election with respect to a Plan Year, the Participant shall designate the form in which such
Deferral (and any gains and losses credited thereon) shall be distributed, in accordance with
Section VII. All Deferral elections filed by Participants must provide for distribution to be made
in a form that is consistent with the distribution options made available under the Plan and
permitted under applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 409A of the Code. A
Participant’s election with respect to the form of payment of his or her Deferral for a Plan Year
may not be changed, except as expressly provided for in this Plan or permitted under applicable
law, including, without limitation, Section 409A of the Code.

SECTION IV

INVESTMENT

     A Participant’s Deferrals shall be credited with gains and losses as if such Deferrals had
been invested in a hypothetical fund which invests in common stock of the Company, purchased on the
open market at the then prevailing price on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of purchase.

SECTION V

RECORDS

     The Committee shall create and maintain adequate records, in book entry form, for each
Participant of Deferrals and credited gains or losses attributable thereto. Each Participant shall
be informed of the status of his or her Accrued Benefit at least quarterly.

SECTION VI

PLAN BENEFITS

     1. Severance from Service. Upon a Participant’s Severance from Service, he or she
shall be entitled to his or her Accrued Benefit payable in accordance with Section VII.

-3-

 

     2. Death. In the event of the death of a Participant prior to Severance from Service,
the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be entitled to a benefit equal to the Participant’s Accrued
Benefit, payable in accordance with Section VII.

     3. Beneficiary. Each Participant should designate a Beneficiary (along with alternate
beneficiaries) to whom, in the event of the Participant’s death, any benefit is payable hereunder.
Each Participant has the right to change any designation of Beneficiary and such change
automatically revokes any prior designation. A designation or change of Beneficiary must be in
writing on forms supplied by the Committee and any change of Beneficiary will not become effective
until filed with the Committee; provided, however, that the Committee shall not recognize the
validity of any designation received after the death of the Participant. The interest of any
Beneficiary who dies before the Participant will terminate unless otherwise provided. If a
Beneficiary is not validly designated, or is not living or cannot be found at the date of payment,
any amount payable pursuant to this Plan will be paid to the Spouse of the Participant if living at
the time of payment, otherwise in equal shares to such of the children of the Participant as may be
living at the time of payment; provided, however, that if there is no surviving Spouse or child at
the time of payment, such payment will be made to the estate of the Participant.

SECTION VII

PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

     1. Benefits Not Subject to Code Section 409A. This Section VII.1 shall apply solely
to the portion of a Participant’s Accrued Benefit which is a Grandfathered Amount and thus not
subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The normal form for the payment of the
portion of a Participant’s Accrued Benefit which is a Grandfathered Amount shall be a lump-sum
payment in cash, payable as soon as practicable after the event giving rise to the distribution.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may request, by filing an application in writing to
the Committee, that payment be made in installments over a period of not more than ten (10) years.
Such written application must be made to the Committee at least sixty (60) days prior to the
Participant’s Severance from Service, and the decision to permit the requested installment payments
shall be made at the sole discretion of the Committee taking into account the interests of the
Participant and the Company.

     2. Benefits Subject to Code Section 409A. This Section VII.2 shall apply solely to
the portion of a Participant’s Accrued Benefit which is not a Grandfathered Amount and thus subject
to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Participant’s Deferral (and any gains and
losses credited thereon) for a Plan Year shall be distributed in cash in either (a) a lump-sum
payment or (b) substantially equal annual installments over up to ten (10) years, as elected by the
Participant in his or her Deferral election for such Plan Year. The payment to the Participant
shall be made or commence, as applicable, within ninety (90) days after the Participant’s Severance
from Service; provided, however, that in the case of a Participant who is a “specified employee”
within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, payment of such Participant’s Accrued
Benefit shall not be made or commence until the date which is six (6) months after the date of the
Participant’s Severance from Service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Participant). If a
Participant dies prior to Severance from Service, his or her Beneficiary shall, within ninety (90)
days after the Participant’s death, receive the Participant’s Accrued

-4-

 

Benefit in a lump-sum payment in cash. In the event the Participant fails to make a valid
election of the form of payment, the distribution will be made in a lump-sum payment in cash.

     3. Limited Cashouts. Notwithstanding any Deferral election made by the Participant or
the foregoing provisions of this Section VII, the Participant’s Accrued Benefit will be distributed
in a lump-sum payment in cash, if the amount of such Accrued Benefit on the date that payment is to
commence does not exceed the maximum amount permitted to be automatically distributed under the
regulations promulgated under Section 409A of the Code, with such payment made on or before the
later of (i) December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant’s Severance from Service
occurs, or (ii) the 15th day of the third month following the Participant’s Severance
from Service.

     4. Acceleration Prohibited. The acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment
due under Section VII.2 of the Plan is prohibited, except as provided in regulations under Section
409A of the Code. To the extent permitted by the regulations under Section 409A of the Code,
distribution of a Participant’s Accrued Benefit may be made at any time the Plan fails the
requirements of Section 409A and the regulations thereunder, with such payment not to exceed the
amount required to be included in the Participant’s income as a result of the failure.

     5. Compliance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section VII, the portion of any Accrued Benefit (or the entire Accrued Benefit, if applicable) that
is not a Grandfathered Amount shall be paid at such time and in such form as shall not violate the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code, including, without limitation, the restriction in Section
409A(a)(2)(B)(i) on the timing of distributions following the Severance from Service of a
Participant who is a “specified employee”.

SECTION VIII

FUNDING STATUS

     This Plan is unfunded. All obligations hereunder shall constitute an unsecured promise of the
Company to pay a Participant’s benefit out of the general assets of the Company, subject to all of
the terms and conditions of the Plan, as amended from time to time, and applicable law. A
Participant hereunder shall have no greater right to benefits provided hereunder than that of any
unsecured general creditor of the Company.

SECTION IX

ADMINISTRATION

     1. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee which shall have the following powers and
responsibilities.

	 	(a)	 	to amend the Plan;
	 
	 	(b)	 	to terminate the Plan;
	 
	 	(c)	 	to construe the Plan, make factual
determinations, consider requests made by Participants, correct
defects, and take any and all similar actions to the extent necessary
to administer the Plan, with

-5-

 

	 	 	 	any instructions or interpretations of the Plan made in good faith by
the Committee to be final and conclusive for all purposes;
	 
	 	(d)	 	to prepare periodic administration reports to
the Board of Directors which will show, in reasonable detail, the
administrative operations of the Plan; and
	 
	 	(e)	 	to take all other actions and do all other
things which are reasonable and necessary to the proper administration
of the Plan.

     2. The Committee shall have complete discretion in carrying out its powers and
responsibilities under the Plan, and its exercise of discretion hereunder shall be final and
conclusive.

     3. The Committee may, in writing, delegate some or all of its powers and responsibilities to
any other person or entity.

     4. The Committee may hold meetings upon such notice, at such time or times, and at such place
or places as it may determine. The majority of the members of the Committee at the time in office
will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings and a majority vote of
those present and constituting a quorum at any meeting will be required for action. The Committee
may also act by written consent of a majority of its members.

     5. The Committee may adopt such rules for administration of the Plan as is considered
desirable, provided they do not conflict with the Plan. Records of administration of the Plan will
be kept, and Participants and their Beneficiaries may examine records pertaining directly to
themselves.

     6. The Committee may retain such counsel, and actuarial, accounting, clerical and other
services as they may require to carry out the provisions and purposes of the Plan.

     7. The Committee shall be entitled to rely upon all tables, valuations, certificates, and
reports furnished by any duly appointed auditor, or actuary, upon all certificates and reports made
by any investment manager, or any duly appointed accountant, and upon all opinions given by any
duly appointed legal counsel.

     8. No member of the Committee shall be personally liable by virtue of any instrument executed
by the member, or on the member’s behalf, as a member of the Committee. Neither the Company nor
any of its officers or directors, nor any member of the Committee, shall be personally liable for
any action or inaction with respect to any duty or responsibility imposed upon such person by the
terms of the Plan unless such action or inaction is judicially determined to be a breach of that
person’s responsibility as a fiduciary with respect to the Plan under any applicable law. The
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless its officers, directors, and each member of the Committee
against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses (including attorneys’ fees), and liability
(including, in each case, amounts paid in settlement), arising from any action or failure to act,
except when the same is judicially determined to be due to the gross

-6-

 

negligence or willful misconduct of such officer, director or member of the Committee. The
foregoing right of indemnification shall be in addition to any other rights to which any such
person may be entitled as a matter of law.

SECTION X

MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION

     1. The Committee reserves the right to terminate this Plan at any time or to modify, amend or
suspend it from time to time. Any such termination or modification shall be effective at such date
as the Committee may determine. The Committee shall promptly give notice of any such modification
or termination to all Participants. A modification may affect Participants, irrespective of
whether they are past, current or future Participants, provided, however, that a modification may
not eliminate or reduce the Accrued Benefit of any Participant as of the effective date of such
modification.

     2. To the extent permitted by the regulations under Section 409A of the Code, within the
thirty (30) days preceding or the twelve (12) months following a Change of Control, the Company may
exercise its discretion to terminate the Plan and, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan
or of the terms of any Deferral election made under the Plan, distribute in full to each
Participant the portion of his or her Accrued Benefit (or the entire Accrued Benefit, if
applicable) that is not a Grandfathered Amount. The preceding sentence shall apply also to the
portion of the Participant’s Accrued Benefit that is a Grandfathered Amount, provided that such
action does not constitute a “material modification” (within the meaning of the regulations under
Section 409A) of the Plan with respect to such Participant.

     3. The Committee amended and restated this Plan effective as of January 1, 2005, in order (a)
to preserve the favorable tax treatment available to Accrued Benefits that are Grandfathered
Amounts in view of the enactment of Section 409A of the Code and the issuance of regulations
thereunder, and (b) with respect to all other Accrued Benefits earned under the Plan, to comply
with the requirements of Section 409A and the regulations thereunder. The Committee reserves the
right to amend the Plan, either retroactively or prospectively, in whatever respect is required to
achieve and maintain compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the
regulations thereunder.

SECTION XI

GENERAL PROVISIONS

     1. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to give any Participant the right to be retained
in the service of the Company.

     2. It is a condition of this Plan, and all rights of each Participant shall be subject
thereto, that no right or interest of any Participant under this Plan or in his or her credited
Deferrals (and any credited gains or losses attributable thereto) shall be assignable or
transferable in whole or in part, either directly or by operation of law or otherwise, including
but without limitation, execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge, bankruptcy, or in any
other manner, subject, however, to applicable law, but excluding devolution by death or mental
incompetency, and no right or interest of any Participant under this Plan or in his or her credited
Deferrals (and

-7-

 

any credited gains or losses attributable thereto) shall be liable for or subject to any
obligation or liability of such Participant, subject, however, to applicable law.

     3. All payments of benefits under the Plan shall be subject to such taxes and other
withholdings (federal, state or local) as may be due thereon, and the determination of the
Committee as to withholding with respect to payments shall be binding upon the Participant and each
Beneficiary.

     4. The sale of all of the assets of the Company, or a merger, consolidation or reorganization
of the Company wherein the Company is not the surviving corporation, or any other transaction
which, in effect, amounts to a sale of the Company or voting control thereof, shall not terminate
this Plan or any related agreements and the obligations created hereunder or thereby shall be
binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company.

     5. If a Participant or Beneficiary entitled to receive any benefits hereunder is deemed by the
Committee or is adjudged to be legally incapable of giving valid receipt and discharge for such
benefits, the benefits will be paid to such persons as the Committee might designate or to the duly
appointed guardian.

     6. This Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, notwithstanding the conflict of law rules applicable therein.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the VF Corporation Pension Plan Committee, intending to be legally bound
hereby, has adopted and executed this Plan amendment and restatement this 12th day of
July, 2007.
