(e) Executive Compensation Matters
     On December 28, 2006, Goodrich Corporation (the “Company”) and Messrs. Grisik, Linnert and Carmola agreed to terminate the Goodrich Corporation Split Dollar Insurance Plan (the “Life Insurance Plan”). The Life Insurance Plan provided a two-phase program of split-dollar life insurance for these executive officers. The first phase provided these executive officers with a split-dollar life insurance benefit that was intended to equal five times annual salary. At the end of five years, the executive could continue participation in the plan or take ownership of the life insurance policy. If the executive were to take ownership of the policy, the death benefit would be reduced to two times current salary, ownership of the policy would be transferred to the executive and the policy would be funded by the Company to a level to assure that the policy can sustain itself. If the cash surrender value was adequate, the Company would recover the premiums previously paid by us. If the executive were to elect to participate in phase two of the plan, the Company would again provide the executive with a split-dollar life insurance benefit that would be intended to equal up to five times salary. At termination of employment or retirement, the death benefit would be reduced to two times then current salary and ownership of the life insurance policy would be transferred to the executive. In that event, the executive would have ownership of the policy and would be required to pay premiums to maintain the policy. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which was enacted after the adoption of the Life Insurance Plan, restricted our continued funding of premiums for these policies and, in recent years, the cash surrender value on the policies has been reduced to pay the premiums. In terminating the Life Insurance Plan, the Company will obtain and transfer to these participating executive officers fully paid life insurance policies with a death benefit equal to two times the executive’s annual salary at retirement, assuming retirement at age 65 and a 3.5% annual salary increase until retirement. Copies of the Executive Life Insurance Agreements terminating the Life Insurance Plan are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 and are incorporated herein by reference.
     On December 28, 2006, the Company and Messrs. Larsen, Grisik and Linnert agreed to terminate the split-dollar program relating to our nonqualified benefit security plan (the “Nonqualified Benefit Security Plan”) which is designed to fund, in part with split-dollar life insurance polices, our obligations to pay pension benefits under our non-qualified benefit restoration plan and supplemental executive retirement plan described in our proxy statement for our 2006 annual meeting of shareholders. Messrs. Larsen, Grisik and Linnert participate in the Nonqualified Benefit Security Plan. A copy of the form of Executive Life Insurance Agreement terminating the split-dollar program relating to the Nonqualified Benefit Security Plan is attached as Exhibit 10.4 and is incorporated herein by reference. Termination of such split-dollar programs under the Nonqualified Benefit Security Plan will not affect our obligation to make payments under, or these executive officers’ rights to receive benefits under, our non-qualified supplemental pension plan.

EXECUTIVE LIFE INSURANCE AGREEMENT
     This AGREEMENT is made as of the 28th day of December, 2006, by and between TERRENCE G. LINNERT (the “Executive”) and GOODRICH CORPORATION (the “Company”), a New York corporation (collectively, the “Parties”).
RECITALS
     WHEREAS, the Parties have entered into a Split Dollar Insurance Agreement dated March 1, 1998 pursuant to which the Company purchased a certain life insurance policy insuring the life of the Executive attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Policy”) and endorsed to the Executive’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries a right to receive a portion of the death benefits payable thereunder (the “Split Dollar Program”);
     WHEREAS, the Parties have determined that the Split Dollar Program no longer meets the business purposes of the Company; and
     WHEREAS, the Parties desire to terminate the Split Dollar Program, cancel the endorsement and enter into this Agreement providing for the transfer of all rights of ownership of the Policy to the Executive and the one-time lump sum cash payment by the Company to the insurer in the amount needed to sustain the Policy for the anticipated lifetime of the Executive at a cost of $300 per year for the Executive’s lifetime with a death benefit equal to the Executive’s projected base salary at age 65 multiplied by two.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and other valuable consideration between the Parties it is agreed as follows:
ARTICLE I
TERMINATION OF SPLIT DOLLAR PROGRAM
     The Split Dollar Program shall be terminated and all rights, benefits and obligations derived from such instruments or any other documents (including any related correspondence) by or of the Executive shall be cancelled. The Company shall become the sole owner and beneficiary of the Policy and exercise, in its sole discretion, all rights of ownership granted to the policyholder by the terms of the Policy. Each Party agrees to take such further action, do such other things and execute such other written instruments as shall be necessary and proper to carry out the termination of the Split Dollar Program and transfer of all rights of ownership of the Policy to the Executive. The Executive agrees that the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall not become effective unless and until all such actions to terminate the Split Dollar Program are complete. The Company and the Executive agree that the termination of the Split Dollar Program and the transfer of the ownership of the Policy in accordance with Article II shall occur simultaneously.

 


 

ARTICLE II
COMPANY OBLIGATIONS
     2.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall transfer all rights of ownership of the Policy to the Executive.
     2.2 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall pay directly to the insurer a one-time lump sum cash payment in the amount needed to sustain the Policy for the anticipated life of the Executive with a death benefit equal to the level of benefit provided in Section 2.3. The Executive shall be eligible to enroll in the Company’s group term life insurance program, subject to the terms and conditions of such program.
     2.3 The Policy and the one-time lump sum payment are based on projections by the Company so that, after assuming the Executive’s base salary compounds by 3.5% growth per annum until age 65, the Executive will hold a life insurance policy with a death benefit equal to the Executive’s projected base salary at age 65 multiplied by two, which death benefit amount equals $1,129,000.00. The projections prepared by the Company are final, and may not be challenged by the Executive as of the time this Agreement is executed or at any time in the future.
     2.4 The Company shall increase the Executive’s compensation for services rendered by an amount determined by the Company which, net of its federal, state and local income tax effects, is approximately sufficient to enable the Executive to pay any federal, state and local income taxes payable by the Executive because of taxable income resulting from this Agreement (the “Tax Gross Up”).
ARTICLE III
EXECUTIVE’S RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
     The Executive shall become the sole owner of the Policy and may exercise all rights of ownership granted to the policyholder by the terms of the Policy, including but not limited to the right to borrow against the Policy, the right to assign his interest in the Policy, the right to change the beneficiary(ies) of the Policy, the right to exercise settlement options and the right to surrender or cancel the Policy. The Executive acknowledges that any exercise of any such ownership rights with respect to the Policy shall not increase in any way the obligations of the Company pursuant to this Agreement.
ARTICLE IV
AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION
     This Agreement shall not be modified, amended or terminated except by a written agreement of the Company and the Executive. This Agreement and any amendment hereto shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of each party to this Agreement.
