RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT





THIS AGREEMENT CONSTITUTES PART OF THE PROSPECTUS COVERING SECURITIES REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.



     THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (hereinafter, the “Agreement”) made as of the
                     day of                     ,                      , between Goodrich Corporation, a New York corporation (the
“Company”), and                      (the “Employee”). For purposes of this Agreement, all capitalized
terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto under the terms of the Goodrich
Corporation 2001 Equity Compensation Plan (as amended, the “Plan”), unless otherwise noted.



     WHEREAS, the Employee is employed by the Company or its subsidiaries; and



     WHEREAS, the Company wishes to grant an award of restricted stock units under the Plan,
subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement.



     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this agreement, the
Company and the Employee agree as follows:




	1.	 	Grant of Units. The Company hereby grants to the Employee ___restricted stock
units (the “Units”). Each Unit held by the Employee shall entitle the Employee to receive (i)
one share of common stock, par value $5.00 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) upon the
vesting of such Unit (as described below) and (ii) periodic cash payments from the Company
equal in value to any dividend declared and paid on a share of Common Stock (“dividend
equivalents”). Prior to the vesting of a Unit, the Employee shall have no ownership interest
in the Common Stock represented by such Unit and the Employee shall have no right to vote or
exercise proxies with respect to the Common Stock represented by such Unit. No stock
certificates will be issued as of the date of this Agreement (the “Effective Date”) and the
Units shall be subject to forfeiture and other restrictions as set forth below. If during the
first year from the Effective Date and prior to the vesting of any such Units, the Employee
notifies the Company of the Employee’s intent to terminate employment with the Company (the
“Notification Date”) and the Employee shall be eligible for retirement as of such date of
termination, then the number of unvested Units shall be reduced, as of the Notification
Date, by multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of
months (rounded upward to the nearest month) of employment that the Employee has completed
with the Company between the Grant Date and the Notification Date and the denominator shall be
12. For the purpose of this Section 1, the Employee shall be treated as being eligible for
retirement if the Employee terminates employment with the Company at any time after the
Employee is eligible for early retirement as provided under the terms of the Goodrich
Corporation Employees’ Pension Plan (or would be eligible for early retirement under such
plan if the Employee was a participant in such plan or as provided in a subsidiary

	 	 	company’s salaried pension plan in the event the Employee’s pension benefits are received
solely from the subsidiary’s plan) in effect at the time of such termination.






	2.	 	Vesting. The Units will be deemed vested upon the Employee’s continued employment
with the Company or one of the Company’s subsidiaries on the dates set forth in the following
schedule:






Three (3) years from the Effective Date — 50% of the Units




Four (4) years from the Effective Date — 75 % of the Units




Five (5) years from the Effective Date — 100% of the Units




	 	 	Upon vesting, and in any event, on or before March 15 of the year immediately following
the year in which vesting occurred, the Company shall either transfer physical possession of
a stock certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock in an amount equal to the
number of Units then becoming vested to the Employee or provide for book entry transfer of
such shares to the Employee, subject to Sections 6 and 7 below.






	3.	 	Vesting of Units Post-Employment.






(a) In the event of the Employee’s death, all unvested Units shall vest immediately to the
Employee’s beneficiary, as defined in Section 5, upon the Employee’s death. In the event of
the Employee’s permanent and total disability, all unvested Units shall vest immediately
upon such permanent and total disability.




(b) In the event the Employee’s employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company
terminates and the Employee is eligible for Normal Retirement, as defined in the Goodrich
Corporation Employees’ Pension Plan (or would be eligible for Normal Retirement under such
plan if the Employee was a participant in such plan or as defined in a subsidiary company’s
salaried pension plan in the event the Employee’s pension benefits are received solely from
the subsidiary’s plan) in effect at the time of the Employee’s termination of employment,
all unvested Units shall vest immediately upon such termination.




(c) In the event the Employee’s employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company
terminates and the Employee is eligible for Early Retirement, as defined in the Goodrich
Corporation Employees’ Pension Plan (or would be eligible for Early Retirement under such
plan if the Employee was a participant in such plan or as defined in a subsidiary company’s
salaried pension plan in the event the Employee’s pension benefits are received solely from
the subsidiary’s plan) in effect at the time of the Employee’s termination of employment,
except as provided below, all unvested Units shall vest six (6) months from the date of the
Employee’s date of termination. However, if the Employee directly, indirectly, or
otherwise, owns, manages, operates, controls, serves as a consultant to, becomes employed
by, participates in, or becomes connected, in any manner, with the ownership, management,
operation or control of any business that competes with the Company or any of its
affiliates, as determined by the Committee in its

	 	 	sole discretion, after the Employee’s date of termination and prior to the vesting of the
Units granted under this Agreement, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, cancel the
Units granted under this Agreement that have not yet become vested.
	 
	(d)	 	Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event of a Change in Control of the
Company subsequent to this date, all Units shall immediately vest.
	 
	(e)	 	Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Employee’s
employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries is terminated for Cause, as defined
herein, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, immediately cancel the Units granted
under this Agreement that have not yet become vested as of any date prior to the date of
such termination. For the purpose of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean a termination of
employment by the Company due to (i) the violation by the Employee of any rule, regulation,
or policy of the Company, including the Company’s Business Code of Conduct; (ii) the failure
by the Employee to meet any requirement reasonably imposed upon such employee by the Company
as a condition of continued employment; (iii) the violation by the Employee of any federal,
state or local law or regulation; (iv) the commission by the Employee of an act of fraud,
theft, misappropriation of funds, dishonesty, bad faith or disloyalty; (v) the failure by
the Employee to perform consistently the duties of the position held by such employee in a
manner which satisfies the expectations of the Company after such Employee has been provided
written notice of performance deficiencies and a reasonable opportunity to correct those
deficiencies; or (vi) the dereliction or neglect by the Employee in the performance of such
employee’s job duties.
	 
	(f)	 	Upon vesting, and in any event, on or before March 15 of the year immediately following
the year in which vesting occurred, the Company shall either transfer physical possession of
a stock certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock in an amount equal to the
number of Units then becoming vested to the Employee (or, if the Employee is deceased, the
Employee’s beneficiary, as defined in Section 5) or provide for book entry transfer of such
            shares to the Employee (or, if the Employee is deceased, the Employee’s beneficiary),
subject to Sections 6 and 7 below.
	 
	4.	 	Forfeiture. Except as specifically provided in Section 3, if the Employee’s
employment is terminated prior to any of the vesting dates set forth in Section 2 above, all
of the unvested Units will be forfeited. In the event of such forfeiture, all rights to
receive shares of Common Stock or dividend equivalents or any other ancillary rights shall
cease and terminate immediately.
	 
	5.	 	Assignability/Beneficiary. The rights of the Employee contingent or otherwise in the
Units or dividend equivalents cannot and shall not be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise
transferred or encumbered other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The
Employee may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any benefits that are due
under Section 3 following the Employee’s death. To be effective, such designation must be
made in accordance with such rules and on such form as





2008 (Executive)

	 	 	prescribed by the Company’s corporate compensation group for such purpose which completed
form must be received by the Company’s corporate compensation group or its designee before
the Employee’s death. If the Employee fails to designate a beneficiary, or if no designated
beneficiary survives the Employee’s death, the Employee’s estate shall be deemed the
Employee’s beneficiary.
	 
	6.	 	Tax Withholding. At the time shares of common stock are transferred to the Employee,
the number of shares delivered will be net of the amount of shares sufficient to satisfy any
federal, state and local tax withholding requirements with which the Company must comply.
	 
	7.	 	Changes in Capital Structure. The number of shares of Common Stock to be transferred
to the Employee upon the vesting of any Units will be adjusted appropriately in the event of
any stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, reorganization,
or other change in the nature of the shares of Common Stock in the same manner in which other
outstanding shares of Common Stock not subject to the Plan are adjusted; provided, that the
number of shares subject to this Agreement shall always be a whole number.
	 
	8.	 	Continued Employment. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as conferring upon
the Employee the right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries as
an executive or in any other capacity.
	 
	9.	 	Parties to Agreement. This Agreement and the terms and conditions herein set forth
are subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are controlling.
All decisions or interpretations of the Board and of the Committee shall be binding and
conclusive upon Employee or upon Employee’s executors or administrators or beneficiaries upon
any question arising hereunder or under the Plan. This Agreement will constitute an agreement
between the company and the Employee as of the date first above written, which shall bind and
inure to the benefit of their respective executors, administrators, beneficiaries, successors
and assigns.
	 
	10.	 	Modification. No change, termination, waiver or modification of this Agreement will
be valid unless in writing and signed by all of the parties to this Agreement.
	 
	11.	 	Consent to Jurisdiction. The Employee hereby consents to the jurisdiction of any
state or federal court located in the county in which the principal executive office of the
Company is then located for purposes of the enforcement of this Agreement and waives personal
service of any and all process upon the Employee. The Employee waives any objection to venue
of any action instituted under this Agreement.
	 
	12.	 	Notices. All notices, designations, consents, offers or any other communications
provided for in this Agreement must be given in writing, personally delivered, or by facsimile
transmission with an appropriate written confirmation of receipt, by nationally recognized
overnight courier or by U.S. mail. Notice to the Company is to be addressed to its then
principal office. Notice to the Employee or any transferee is to be addressed to

address as may be designated by the receiving party by notice in writing to the Secretary of
the Company.
	 
	13.	 	Further Assurances. At any time, and from time to time after executing this
Agreement, the Employee will execute such additional instruments and take such actions as may
be reasonably requested by the Company to confirm or perfect or otherwise to carry out the
intent and purpose of this Agreement.
	 
	14.	 	Provisions Severable. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or
unenforceable, it shall not affect the other provisions, and this Agreement shall remain in
effect as though the invalid or unenforceable provisions were omitted. Upon a determination
that any term or other provision is invalid or unenforceable, the Company shall in good faith
modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as
possible.
	 
	15.	 	Captions. Captions herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not be
considered in construing this Agreement.
	 
	16.	 	Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the parties’ entire understanding and
agreement with respect to the issuance of the Units, and each of the parties acknowledges that
it has not made any, and makes no promises, representations or undertakings, other than those
expressly set forth or referred to therein.
	 
	17.	 	Governing Law. This Agreement is subject to the condition that this award will
conform with any applicable provisions of any state or federal law or regulation in force
either at the time of grant. The Committee and the Board reserve the right pursuant to the
condition mentioned in this paragraph to terminate all or a portion of this Agreement if in
the opinion of the Committee and Board, this Agreement does not conform with any such
applicable state or federal law or regulation and such nonconformance shall cause material
harm to the Company.
	 
	 	 	This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State
of New York.
