Deferrals Credited to Fund Subaccounts. After amounts are withheld and deferred from a Participant’s Compensation for a Plan Year, the Committee shall credit each Fund Subaccount within the Participant’s Plan Year Account for that Year with an amount equal to the Compensation (or portion thereof in whole percentages) so withheld and deferred that the Participant has elected to be deemed invested in the Fund associated with such Subaccount.

Subdivision into Fund Subaccounts. Each Plan Year Account shall be further divided into separate subaccounts (“Fund Subaccounts”), each of which corresponds to a Fund elected by the Participant pursuant to [Section 4.2(b)].

Adjustment of Fund Subaccounts. Each business day, each Fund Subaccount within a Participant’s Plan Year Account # shall be credited or charged (the case may be) with # an amount determined by multiplying the balance credited to such Subaccount as of the prior day, plus deferrals credited that day to such Subaccount, by the Investment Adjustment for the Fund to which such Subaccount relates, # shall be credited with any transfer to such Fund Subaccount from another such Subaccount, and charged with any transfer from such Fund Subaccount to another such Subaccount, and # shall be charged with the amount of any payments therefrom under the Plan.

Account shall mean the recordkeeping account to which Salary Deferrals, Matching Contributions and Credited Earnings are credited (or debited for Credited Earnings reflecting an investment loss) under the Plan. An Account may be divided into two or more subaccounts to the extent necessary or desirable, as determined by the Company, for Plan recordkeeping and accounting purposes. Such subaccounts are referred to herein collectively as the “Account” or “Accounts,” and sometimes individually as the “Account.”

Section # “Share Account” means the account maintained on the Company’s books to which a Director’s non-cash Deferrals are credited in the form of Share Units. The Share Account maintained for a Director shall contain separate subaccounts for the Director’s Deferrals of Fees, if any, and for the Director’s Deferrals of Stock Awards, if any.

Each Member’s Company Contributions Account shall be credited with the amount of any Company Contributions allocated as of a day or days within the Plan Year as the Company shall determine in its sole discretion. Each Member’s Salary Deferral Accounts shall be credited with the amount of Salary Deferrals withheld, transfers from Company Contributions Accounts received and Rollover Contributions received in such calendar month.

Investment Election. A Participant may elect, pursuant to procedures established by the Committee and subject to applicable limitations herein, that his or her Basic, Matching, and Company Retirement Deferrals be credited with gains and losses as if such Deferrals had been invested (in increments of at least one percent (1%)) in one or more of the investment funds offered under the Plan, as may be determined by the Committee from time to time; provided, however, that a Participant may not elect to have any Company Retirement Deferrals credited with gains and losses as if such amounts had been invested in a fund composed of common stock of the Company (the “VF Corporation Stock Fund”), unless the Participant has elected to have the deemed investment of his or her Deferrals covered by the Financial Engines Professional Management Program, in which case up to twenty percent (20%) of the amounts attributable to his or her Company Retirement Deferrals may be credited with gains and losses as if such amounts had been invested in the VF Corporation Stock Fund.

Designation of Fund for Deemed Investment of Current Deferrals. Each Participant shall designate, in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Committee, the Fund (or Funds, which shall be designated in whole percentage increments) in which his or her deferrals for each Plan Year will be deemed to be invested for purposes of determining the Investment Adjustment to be credited or charged with respect thereto.

Computation of Earnings Credited. The Participant may, pursuant to administrative procedures established by the RPAC, request the type of investment crediting rate option with which the Participant would like the Employer, in its sole and absolute discretion, to credit to the Participant's Account during the Participant's Employment. Such investment crediting rate election will apply to all contributions under the ERA; provided that no investment crediting will be made after the Participant incurs a Termination of Employment or transfers to an ineligible position, except as provided in Section 2,1(aa) (i.e., the Participant qualifies as an Inactive Participant who is not a participant in the SERP). To the extent the Participant has invested in Stock Units, upon his Termination of Employment or transfer to another position, the number of shares of Stock to which he is entitled will be determined and distributable to him pursuant to the terms of the ERA. For purposes of determining when a Participant incurs a Termination of Employment for investment crediting purposes, Employment will be deemed to have ceased on the last day of the calendar month of Employment.

Each Participant whose Account is credited with Stifel Deferrals pursuant to Section 4.3 also may receive a Matching Credit. Matching Credits for Stifel Deferrals shall equal a percentage of the Stifel Deferrals credited to the stock unit subaccount of the Participant. Such percentage, if any, shall be established by the Committee in writing in its sole discretion before the time the Participant first has a legally binding right to the compensation, as defined in IRS regulations under section 409A of the Code.
