                               AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO
                         VANS, INC. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

        THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO VANS, INC. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the
"Amendment") is hereby entered into by and between Vans, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Vans"), and Craig E. Gosselin ("Employee") as of June 1, 2002,
with reference to the following facts:

               A. Vans and Employee are parties to an Employment Agreement dated
as of September 18, 2000 (the "Employment Agreement").

               B. On May 29, 2002, the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of Vans: (i) approved a proposal to amend certain provisions of the
employment agreements of senior executives of the Company in recognition of
their lengthy and meritorious service to the Company (the "Senior Executives"),
and (ii) authorized and directed the officers of the Company to execute and
deliver such amendments.

               C. Employee is a Senior Executive.

        NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

               1. Amendments to the Employment Agreement. Sections 11.4 and 11.5
of the Employment Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety and the
following new Sections are substituted therefor:

                      "11.4 Severance Compensation. In the event (i) Employee
terminates this Agreement for Good Reason in accordance with Paragraph 11.3
hereof; or (ii) Employee is terminated without Cause, the Company shall be
obligated to pay severance compensation to Employee in an amount equal to his
salary compensation (at the rate payable at the time of such termination) for a
period of one year. In the event Employee is terminated without Cause, or
terminates this Agreement for Good Reason, within three (3) years of a "Change
in Management or Control" (as such term is defined in Paragraph 11.5 hereof),
the Company shall be obligated to pay severance compensation to Employee in an
amount equal to 2.99 times the sum of (a) Employee's then current salary
compensation, plus (b) the highest amount of bonus earned by Employee in any
fiscal year during the three fiscal years prior to the Change in Management or
Control, or in any fiscal year in the three-year period immediately prior to the
date of this Agreement, and such severance compensation shall be "grossed up"
for all federal and state taxes payable thereon. Employee shall have the option,
in his sole discretion, to receive such severance compensation in one lump sum.
In addition to the foregoing severance compensation, the Company shall also pay
Employee (i) all compensation for services rendered hereunder and not previously
paid; (ii) accrued vacation pay; and (iii) any appropriate business expenses

<PAGE>

incurred by Employee in connection with his duties hereunder and approved
pursuant to Section 4 hereof, all through the date of termination.

                      "11.5 Definition of Change in Management or Control. The
term `Change in Management or Control' means the occurrence, in a single
transaction or in a series of related transactions, of (i) a merger,
consolidation or similar transaction involving (directly or indirectly) the
Company and, immediately after the consummation of such merger, consolidation or
similar transaction, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior thereto
