EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     THIS EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of the 10th day of

principal place of business in Charlotte, North Carolina, and STEPHEN E. MACADAM (“Executive”).

RECITALS

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive as the President and Chief Executive Officer
of the Company, and Executive desires to accept employment as the President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company; and

     WHEREAS, as of the Effective Date, the Company shall employ Executive on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, and Executive shall be retained and employed by the Company
to perform such services under the terms and conditions of this Agreement;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties
hereto agree as follows:

     1. Certain Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not
otherwise defined herein are to have the meanings set forth in paragraph 8.

     2. Employment Period. The Company shall employ Executive, and Executive accepts
employment with the Company, all upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement for the
period beginning on the Effective Date and ending as provided in paragraph 5 (the “Employment
Period”).

     3. Position and Duties.

     (a) During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as the President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company and shall have the duties, responsibilities and authority as are customarily
associated with such position and as may reasonably otherwise be assigned to Executive from time to
time by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) or by any authorized committee of the
Board. Executive also shall hold similar titles, offices and authority with the Company’s direct
and indirect subsidiaries, as requested by the Board from time to time, subject to the oversight
and direction of the respective boards of directors of such entities.

     (b) After the Company’s 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and during the remaining
Employment Period, Executive shall be included in the management’s slate for election as a member
of the Board. Subject to election by the Company’s shareholders,

 

 

Executive shall serve as a member of the Board, with no additional remuneration payable to
Executive for that service. Upon the Date of Termination, Executive shall resign from the Board
and from any other board or committee of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates.

     (c) During the Employment Period, Executive shall devote his full professional time and
attention (except for permitted vacation periods and reasonable periods of illness or other
incapacity) to the business and affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates.
Executive shall perform the duties and responsibilities hereunder to the best of his abilities in a
diligent, trustworthy and business-like manner. During the Employment Period, Executive shall not
serve as a director or a principal of another company, firm or business, except as a director of
Solo Cup Company, unless such service is approved by the Board, and provided that Executive may
render charitable and civic services so long as such services do not materially interfere with
Executive’s ability to discharge his duties hereunder.

     (d) Subject to paragraph 4(h) hereof, Executive shall perform his duties and responsibilities
hereunder with his principal office located in the Company’s Charlotte, North Carolina corporate
headquarters.

     4. Compensation and Benefits.

     (a) Signing Bonus. On the first regular pay period of the Company following the Effective
Date, the Company shall pay Executive a signing bonus of $426,000.

     (b) Stock Options. On the Effective Date, the Compensation Committee of the Board will grant
Executive stock options with respect to 100,000 shares of the common stock of the Company, which
shall vest in annual increments of 33.33% over a three-year period, all in accordance with a stock
option agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Attachment 1.

     (c) Restricted Shares. On the Effective Date, the Compensation Committee of the Board will
grant Executive 53,500 Restricted Shares, which shall vest in annual increments of 33.33% beginning
on the third anniversary of the Effective Date, all in accordance with a Restricted Shares
Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Attachment 2.

     (d) Salary. The Company agrees to pay Executive a salary (“Base Salary”) during the Employment
Period in installments based on the Company’s payroll practices as may be in effect from time to
time. Executive’s salary shall be at the rate of $825,000 per year during the Employment Period,
unless increased in the discretion of the Board.

     (e) Annual Incentive. Executive shall participate in the Company’s Senior Executive Annual
Performance Plan for each year during the Employment Period.

2

 

Executive’s target annual bonus opportunity under such plan shall equal 100% of Executive’s
annual Base Salary. The maximum payout under such plan shall be 200% of Executive’s annual Base
Salary. For the year 2008, Executive shall be entitled to a pro-rata payment of the annual
incentive based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full and partial months of
the 2008 fiscal year during which Executive is employed by the Company, and the denominator of
which is twelve (12). Except as expressly set forth in this paragraph 4(e), the payment to
Executive of any annual incentive compensation shall be controlled by the terms and conditions of
the Company’s Senior Executive Annual Performance Plan.

     (f) Long-Term Incentive Award.

     (i) Beginning January 1, 2009 and continuing thereafter during the Employment Period,
Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (the
“LTIP Plan”) subject to the terms and conditions of the LTIP Plan and the Company’s 2002
Equity Compensation Plan (as amended). With respect to such awards, it is the intention of
the Board to establish a target incentive of $1,400,000 or higher, provided that — in the
discretion of the Board — under circumstances then prevailing, such target incentive is
comparable to and competitive with the long-term incentive awards granted to the Chief
Executive Officers of similarly sized diversified manufacturing companies, meets standards
of internal and external pay fairness, complies with existing legal and regulatory
requirements, is consistent with the compensation objectives of the Company, meets the
approval of the Board’s executive compensation consultant, and appropriately rewards
performance that enhances shareholder value and furthers the Company’s strategic and
financial objectives.

     (ii) On January 1, 2009, Executive shall be eligible to receive two awards issued under
the LTIP Plan. The first such award shall be for a two-year performance period of fiscal
years 2009 and 2010, and shall have a target incentive of $1,400,000. The second such award
shall be for a three-year performance period of fiscal years 2009 through 2011. Each such
award shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the LTIP Plan and consistent with the
provisions set forth in subparagraph 4(f)(iv) below.

     (iii) In addition to the awards provided pursuant to subparagraph 4(f)(ii) above,
Executive shall receive, as an inducement award, a long-term incentive award for the 2006
and 2007 performance cycles that is calculated and paid according to the terms of the LTIP
Plan and the performance goals that have been established by the Board with respect to such
performance cycles, as follows:

(A) On the Effective Date, Executive shall be awarded a target incentive with
respect to the Company’s 2006-2008 performance

3

 

cycle (for the performance cycle covering the three fiscal years 2006 through
2008) equal to the amount of $1,400,000 times a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of days in the 2006-2008 performance cycle from and after
the Effective Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days
in the 2006-2008 performance cycle.

(B) On the Effective Date, Executive shall be awarded a target incentive with
respect to the Company’s 2007-2009 performance cycle (for the performance
cycle covering the three fiscal years 2007 through 2009) equal to the amount
of $1,400,000 times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days
in the 2007-2009 performance cycle from and after the Effective Date and the
denominator of which is the total number of days in the 2007-2009 performance
cycle.

(C) The LTIP awards set forth in this subparagraph 4(f)(iii) shall not be
issued under the LTIP Plan, but except as expressly set forth herein, the
terms of the LTIP Plan will control for purposes of calculating,
administering and paying such awards. Each such award shall be paid in cash
at the time specified in the LTIP Plan.

(D) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph 4(f)(iv) below, Executive
shall be guaranteed to receive, with respect to the LTIP award set forth in
subparagraph 4(f)(iii)(A) above, no less than the value of the award at
target, i.e., an amount equal to the amount of $1,400,000 times a fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of days in the 2006-2008 performance
cycle from and after the Effective Date and the denominator of which is the
total number of days in the 2006-2008 performance cycle. Provided, however,
that this amount shall not be payable to Executive if he voluntarily
terminates his employment with the Company or is terminated by the Company
for Cause (as defined in the Senior Officer Severance Plan of the Company
that is in effect on the date hereof, which is attached hereto as Attachment
5 (the “Senior Officer Severance Plan”)) prior to January 1, 2009.

(E) In addition, notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 4(f)(iv) hereof,
Executive shall be guaranteed to receive, with respect to the LTIP award set
forth in subparagraph 4(f)(iii)(B) above, an amount equal to the product of
1.08 times the difference between (i) $825,000 multiplied by a fraction
representing Executive’s partial service during fiscal 2008 and (ii) the
amount Executive receives from the LTIP award set forth in subparagraph
4(f)(iii)(A). Provided,

4

 

however, that this amount shall not be payable to Executive if he voluntarily
terminates his employment with the Company or is terminated by the Company
for Cause (as defined in the Senior Officer Severance Plan) prior to January
1, 2009.

     (iv) With respect to each of the LTIP awards set forth in subparagraphs 4(f)(ii) and
4(f)(iii) above, the maximum payout for such award will be 200% of target (but not more than
the LTIP Plan maximum of $2,500,000) and the threshold award level for such award will be
50% of target. One-half of the payment to Executive of the LTIP awards set forth in
subparagraphs 4(f)(ii) will be in the form of performance shares, and one-half of such award
will be paid in cash, except that the Company reserves the right in its sole discretion to
pay the value of any performance shares in cash instead of issuing actual shares of Company
common stock. The number of performance shares and amount of the cash LTIP awards
hereunder, except for the guaranteed portion expressly set forth in subparagraphs
4(f)(iii)(D) and 4(f)(iii)(E) above, will depend upon the performance of the Company
relative to the performance goals established for the respective performance cycles of the
above awards, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board. In order to receive
payment of any LTIP award hereunder, Executive must remain employed with the Company through
the end of the last day of the respective performance cycle, unless Executive’s employment
is terminated due to disability, death or retirement as specified in the LTIP Plan.

     (g) Senior Executive Benefits Package.

     (i) Executive will be entitled during the Employment Period to participate, on the same
basis as the Company’s other senior executives, in the benefits and benefit plans set forth
on Attachment 3 hereto, subject to the terms and conditions of such plans.

     (ii) In addition to the benefits set forth on Attachment 3 hereto, if Executive is
terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Senior Officer Severance Plan)
prior to the issuance by the Compensation Committee of the LTIP awards set forth in
paragraph 4(f)(ii) hereof, Executive shall be entitled to receive — as additional severance
 — an amount equal to the product of (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
full and partial months between January 1, 2008 and the Date of Termination and the
denominator of which is 36 and (y) $1,400,000. This additional severance amount shall be
payable in a single lump sum within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination.

     (h) Commuting Expenses. During the Employment Period, but extending no longer than through
June 1, 2010, the Company shall reimburse Executive for Commuting Expenses. Commuting Expenses, as
used in this subparagraph 4(h), shall

5

 

mean all reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by Executive in connection with commuting
from his home residence in Atlanta, Georgia to Charlotte, North Carolina in order to discharge his
duties hereunder, including without limitation all such expenses for an executive apartment,
evening meal costs and transportation costs. In addition to the reimbursement of Commuting
Expenses hereunder, Executive shall be entitled to receive from the Company an additional payment
in an amount sufficient to indemnify him on a net after-tax basis for any income tax associated
with such reimbursement.

     (i) Relocation Allowance. Executive shall be eligible for reimbursement of qualifying
expenses under the Company’s relocation policy, with such modifications thereto as necessary or
appropriate to account for the commuting period contemplated by subparagraph 4(h) hereof. In
addition, the Company shall reimburse Executive for expenses associated with all trips reasonably
required by Executive’s family members to Charlotte from the Effective Date through the date of the
relocation of Executive’s family to Charlotte (but not after June 1, 2010).

     (j) Management Continuity Agreement. The Company and Executive shall enter into a Management
Continuity Agreement, as of the Effective Date, substantially in the form set forth on Attachment 4
hereto.

     (k) Expense Reimbursement. The Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable expenses
incurred by Executive during the Employment Period in the course of performing Executive’s duties
under this Agreement in accordance with the Company’s policies in effect from time to time with
respect to travel, entertainment and other business expenses, and subject to the Company’s
requirements applicable generally with respect to reporting and documentation of such expenses. In
addition, the Company shall reimburse Executive for legal fees and expenses, not to exceed $12,500,
that he incurred in the course of the negotiation of this Agreement.

     (l) Additional Compensation/Benefits. The Compensation Committee of the Board, in its sole
discretion, will determine any compensation or benefits to be provided to Executive during the
Employment Period other than as set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, any
future grant of stock options, restricted shares, performance shares or other equity or incentive
awards.

     5. Employment Period.

     The Employment Period will commence on the Effective Date and will end immediately upon (i)
Executive’s death; (ii) termination of Executive’s employment by the Company; or (iii) resignation
by Executive. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment for any reason, and Executive may
resign his employment with the Company for any reason.

     6. Post-Employment Period Payments.

6

 

     At the Date of Termination, Executive and/or his estate, will be entitled to (i) any Base
Salary that has accrued but is unpaid, any reimbursable expenses that have been incurred but are
unpaid, and any unexpired vacation days that have accrued under the Company’s vacation policy but
are unused, as of the end of the Employment Period, which amount shall be paid in a lump sum in
cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination; (ii) any plan benefits that by their terms extend
beyond termination of Executive’s employment (but only to the extent provided in any such benefit
plan in which Executive has participated as a Company employee) and (iii) any benefits to which
Executive is entitled in accordance with Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“COBRA”). Except as specifically described in this
paragraph 6, or as set forth in the terms of the Management Continuity Agreement between Executive
and the Company, from and after the Date of Termination Executive shall cease to have any rights to
salary, bonus, expense reimbursements or other benefits from the Company or from any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates. Provided further, that Executive shall be entitled to receive no less
than the benefits provided under the terms of the Senior Officer Severance Plan as in effect on the
date hereof if he experiences a Qualifying Termination thereunder, notwithstanding the amendment or
termination of such Plan after the date hereof.

     7. Competitive Activity; Confidentiality; Nonsolicitation.

     (a) Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges that as a result of his employment with
the Company he will receive access to confidential information of the Company, its subsidiaries and
its affiliates, including information relating to customers, clients, suppliers, distributors,
investors, lenders, consultants, independent contractors and executives of the Company and its
affiliates; price lists and pricing policies; financial statements and information; budgets and
projections; business plans; production costs; market research; marketing, sales and distribution
strategies; manufacturing techniques; processes and business methods; technical information;
pending projects and proposals; new business plans and initiatives; research and development
projects; inventions, discoveries, ideas, technologies, trade secrets, know-how, formulae, designs,
patterns, marks, names, improvements, industrial designs, mask works, works of authorship and other
intellectual property; devices; samples; plans, drawings and specifications; photographs and
digital images; computer software and programming; all other confidential information and materials
relating to the businesses of the Company and its affiliates; and all notes, analyses,
compilations, studies, summaries, reports, manuals, documents and other materials prepared by or
for the Company or its affiliates containing or based in whole or in part on any of the foregoing
(all of the foregoing, whether communicated in verbal, written, graphic, electronic or any other
form, whether or not conceived, developed or prepared in whole or in part by Executive and whether
received by Executive before or after the date hereof, collectively, “Confidential Information”).

7

 

     (b) Executive acknowledges that the Confidential Information is owned or licensed by the
Company or its affiliates; is unique, valuable, proprietary and confidential; and derives
independent actual or potential commercial value from not being generally known or available to the
public. Executive hereby relinquishes, and agrees that he will not at any time claim, any right,
title or interest of any kind in or to any Confidential Information.

     (c) Executive agrees that Executive will maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential
Information at all times during and after Executive’s employment with the Company and will not, at
any time, directly or indirectly, use any Confidential Information for his own benefit or for the
benefit of any other person, reveal or disclose any Confidential Information to any person other
than authorized representatives of the Company, or remove or aid in the removal from the Company’s
or its affiliates’ premises of any Confidential Information, except (A) in the performance of
Executive’s duties in furtherance of the business of the Company or (B) with the prior written
consent of an authorized officer of the Company. The covenants in this subparagraph 7(c) will not
apply to information that (i) is or becomes available to the general public through no breach of
this Agreement by Executive or breach by any other person of a duty of confidentiality to the
Company or its affiliates or (ii) Executive is required to disclose by applicable law, rule,
regulation or court order; provided, however, that Executive will notify the Company in writing of
such required disclosure as much in advance as practicable in the circumstances and cooperate with
the Company to limit the scope of such disclosure.

     (d) Upon the expiration or termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any
reason, Executive will turn over and return to the Company all Confidential Information in any
tangible or electronic form (including all copies and reproductions thereof) and all other property
whatsoever of the Company or its affiliates in or under his possession or control.

     (e) Ownership of Intellectual Property.

     (i) Executive will immediately and fully disclose in writing to the Company all
inventions, discoveries, ideas, technologies, trade secrets, know-how, formulae, designs,
patterns, marks, names, improvements, industrial designs, mask works, works of authorship
and other intellectual property conceived or developed in whole or in part by Executive, or
in which Executive may have aided in its conception or development, while employed by the
Company (collectively, “Intellectual Property”).

     (ii) Executive does hereby, and will from time to time immediately upon the conception
or development of any Intellectual Property, assign to the Company all of Executive’s right,
title and interest in and to all such Intellectual Property (whether or not patentable,
registrable, recordable or protectable by copyright and

8

 

regardless of whether the Company pursues any of the foregoing). If any Intellectual
Property falls within the definition of “work made for hire,” as such term is defined in 17
U.S.C. § 101, such Intellectual Property will be considered “work made for hire” and the
copyright of such Intellectual Property will be owned solely and exclusively by the Company.
If any Intellectual Property does not fall within such definition of “work made for hire,”
then Executive’s right, title and interest in and to such Intellectual Property will be
assigned to the Company pursuant to the first sentence of this subparagraph 7(e)(ii).
Executive will execute and deliver any assignment instruments and do all other things
reasonably requested by the Company (both during and after Executive’s employment with the
Company) in order to more fully vest in the Company sole and exclusive right, title and
interest in and to all Intellectual Property.

     (f) Nonsolicitation. During the Employment Period and for a period of two years following the
Date of Termination (such period not to include any period(s) of violation or period(s) or time
required for litigation to enforce the covenants of this subparagraph 7(f)), Executive will not
directly or through any person or entity acting on Executive’s behalf, under Executive’s direction
or under Executive’s control solicit or attempt to solicit (a) the business of any person, firm or
business who — at any time while Executive was employed with the Company — was a customer of the
Company or any of its respective subsidiaries and affiliates, for the purpose of marketing, selling
or providing to any such person, firm or business any services or products competitive with those
offered by the Company or any of its respective subsidiaries and affiliates (other than general
solicitations to the public and not directed specifically at a customer of the Company) or
otherwise induce such customer to reduce, terminate, restrict or alter its business relationships
with the Company in any fashion; or (b) any employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates to terminate such employee’s employment relationship with the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates.

     (g) Noncompetition. During the Employment Period and for a period of two years following the
Date of Termination (such period not to include any period(s) of violation or period(s) of time
required for litigation to enforce the covenants set forth in this subparagraph 7(g)), Executive
shall not, whether individually, as a director, manager, member, stockholder, partner, owner,
employee, consultant or agent of any business, other than on behalf of the Company or its
respective subsidiaries and affiliates, organize, establish, own, operate, manage, control, engage
in, participate in, invest in, permit his name to be used by, act as a consultant or advisor to,
render services for (alone or in association with any person, firm, corporation or business
organization), or otherwise assist any person or entity that engages in or owns, invests in,
operates, manages or controls any venture or enterprise that provides products or services
competitive with those offered or sold by the Company and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates
anywhere in the United States in Canada or in any country in which the Company sells its products
or provides services (the “Business”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this

9

 

Agreement shall prevent Executive from owning for passive investment purposes not intended to
circumvent this Agreement, less than five percent (5%) of the voting securities of any company
engaged in the Business (so long as Executive has no power to manage, operate, advise, consult with
or control the competing enterprise and no power, alone or in conjunction with other affiliated
parties, to select a director, manager, general partner, or similar governing official of the
competing enterprise other than in connection with the normal and customary voting powers afforded
Executive in connection with any permissible equity ownership). Provided, further, that nothing
herein shall prohibit Executive from becoming employed by a competitor in any area, division or
segment of the competitor’s business that does not compete in any way with the Company, its
affiliates or subsidiaries, provided that Executive fully complies with the other terms hereof.

     (h) Remedies; Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge and agree that Executive’s breach
or threatened breach of any of the restrictions set forth in this paragraph 7 will result in
irreparable and continuing damage to the Company and its respective subsidiaries and affiliates for
which there may be no adequate remedy at law and that the Company shall be entitled to equitable
relief, including specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for any such breach or
threatened or attempted breach. Executive hereby consents to the grant of an injunction (temporary
or otherwise) against Executive or the entry of any other court order against Executive prohibiting
and enjoining him from violating, or directing him to comply with any provision of this paragraph
7. Executive also agrees that such remedies shall be in addition to any and all remedies, including
damages, available to the Company against him for such breaches or threatened or attempted
breaches.

     (i) Communication of Contents of Agreement. During the Employment Period and for a period of
two years following the Date of Termination, Executive will communicate his obligations under this
paragraph 7 to any person, firm, association, partnership, corporation or other entity which
Executive intends to be employed by, associated with, or represent.

     (j) The existence of any claim, demand, action or cause of action of Executive against the
Company, whether predicated upon this Agreement or otherwise, is not to constitute a defense to the
Company’s enforcement of any of the covenants or agreements contained in paragraph 7. The Company’s
rights under this Agreement are in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other rights the Company
may have at law or in equity to protect its Confidential Information, trade secrets and other
proprietary interests.

     8. Definitions. “Date of Termination” means the last day of employment by Executive
with the Company. “Effective Date” means April 14, 2008.

10

 

     9. Executive Representations. Executive represents to the Company that (a) the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Executive does not and will not conflict
with, breach, violate or cause a default under any contract, agreement, instrument, order, judgment
or decree to which Executive is a party or by which Executive is bound, (b) Executive is not a
party to or bound by any employment agreement, noncompete agreement or confidentiality agreement
with any other person or entity and (c) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Company, this Agreement will be the valid and binding obligation of Executive, enforceable in
accordance with its terms.

     10. Withholding of Taxes. The Company shall withhold from any amounts payable under
this Agreement all federal, state, local or other taxes that the Company is required to withhold
under any applicable law, regulation or ruling.

     11. Section 409A Compliance. Any payments under this Agreement that are deemed to be
deferred compensation subject to the requirements of Section 409A (“Section 409A”) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A. To
this end and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if at the time
of Executive’s termination of employment with the Company, (i) the Company’s securities are
publicly traded on an established securities market; (ii) Executive is a “specified employee” (as
defined in Section 409A); and (iii) the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits
otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement as a result of such termination of employment is
necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, then the
Company will defer the commencement of such payments (without any reduction in amount ultimately
paid or provided to Executive) that are not paid within the short-term deferral rule under Section
409A (and any regulations thereunder) or within the “involuntary separation” exemption of Treasury
Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii). Such deferral shall last until the date that is six (6) months
following Executive’s termination of employment with the Company (or the earliest date as is
permitted under Section 409A). Any amounts the payment of which are so deferred shall be paid in a
lump sum payment within ten (10) days after the end of such deferral period. If Executive dies
during the deferral period prior to the payment of any deferred amount, then the unpaid deferred
amount shall be paid to the personal representative of Executive’s estate within sixty (60) days
after the date of Executive’s death. For purposes of Section 409A, the right to a series of
installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate
payments.

     12. Excess Parachute Payments.

     (a) In the event that it shall be determined, based upon the advice of the independent public
accountants of the Company (the “Accountants”), that any payment, benefit or distribution by the
Company or any of its respective subsidiaries or affiliates

11

 

hereunder (a “Payment”) constitute “parachute payments” under Section 280G(b)(2) of the
Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), as amended, then, if the aggregate present value of all such
Payments (collectively, the “Parachute Amount”) exceeds 2.99 times Executive’s “base amount,” as
defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code (the “Executive Base Amount”), the amounts constituting
“parachute payments” which would otherwise be payable to or for the benefit of Executive shall be
reduced to the extent necessary so that the Parachute Amount is equal to 2.99 times the Executive
Base Amount (the “Reduced Amount”); provided that such amounts shall not be so reduced if Executive
determines, based upon the advice of the Accountants, that without such reduction Executive would
be entitled to receive and retain, on a net after tax basis (including, without limitation, any
excise taxes payable under Section 4999 of the Code), an amount which is greater than the amount,
on a net after tax basis, that the Executive would be entitled to retain upon his receipt of the
Reduced Amount.

     (b) If the determination made pursuant to clause (a) of this paragraph 12 results in a
reduction of the payments that would otherwise be paid to Executive except for the application of
clause (a) of this paragraph 12, Executive may then elect, in his sole discretion, which and how
much of any particular entitlement shall be eliminated or reduced and shall advise the Company in
writing of his election within ten days of the determination of the reduction in payments. If no
such election is made by Executive within such ten-day period, the Company may elect which and how
much of any entitlement shall be eliminated or reduced and shall notify Executive promptly of such
election.

     (c) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 280G of the Code at the time
of a determination hereunder, it is possible that payments will be made by the Company which should
not have been made under clause (a) of this paragraph 12 (“Overpayment”) or that additional
payments which are not made by the Company pursuant to clause (a) of this paragraph 12 should have
been made (“Underpayment”). In the event that there is a final determination by the Internal
Revenue Service, or a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction, that an Overpayment
has been made, any such Overpayment shall be repaid by Executive to the Company together with
interest at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code. In the
event that there is a final determination by the Internal Revenue Service, a final determination by
a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in the provisions of the Code or regulations pursuant
to which an Underpayment arises, any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or
for the benefit of Executive, together with interest at the applicable Federal rate provided for in

(collectively, “Proceeding”), Executive will reasonably cooperate with the Company and its counsel
in the evaluation, pursuit, contest or defense of the Proceeding and provide such testimony and
access to books and records as may be reasonably necessary in connection therewith. The Company
agrees reasonably to accommodate Executive’s schedule and to reimburse Executive for Executive’s
out-of-pocket expenses and actual lost wages and other compensation related to or resulting from
such cooperation.

in any proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or Executive’s employment by the
Company, (ii) waives any venue or inconvenient forum defense to any proceeding maintained in such
courts and (iii) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, agrees not to bring any proceeding

interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any
applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, that invalidity, illegality or unenforceability is not
to affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement is to be reformed,
construed and enforced in the jurisdiction as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision
had never been contained herein.

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT AND THE RELATED NOTICES OF GRANT CONSTITUTE PART OF THE PROSPECTUS
COVERING SECURITIES REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.

     Section 1. The Amended and Restated 2002 Equity Compensation Plan (hereinafter called the
“Plan”) was authorized by the sole shareholder on May 22, 2002, and was amended on February 11,
2003.

     The Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation
Committee”) has granted to you, as of April 14, 2008 (the “Grant Date”), options to purchase shares
of common stock of the Company at a price of $____ per share, upon the terms and conditions set
forth in this agreement and the Plan. This option price represents the fair market value of the
stock on April 11, 2008.

     The type(s) of option granted to you, the dates on which the options granted to you become
exercisable, and the number of shares of common stock which become purchasable on each of those
dates under each type of option are set forth in the attached Notices of Grant dated this date.

     Once exercisable, all options granted hereunder shall, subject to the terms and conditions of
this agreement, remain exercisable through April 13, 2018 (the “Expiration Date”). Any incentive
stock options granted to you shall be reclassified as non-incentive stock options if they are not
exercised within three months after termination of your employment for any reason, including early
or normal retirement, except (a) permanent or total disability as described in Section 6, in which
case reclassification shall occur one year after disability, or (b) death, in which case
reclassification will not occur.

     This grant and exercise of this option is subject to the condition that this option, together
with any other options granted on the Grant Date, will conform with any applicable provisions of
any State or Federal law or regulation in force either at the time of grant of the option or the
exercise thereof. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors reserve the right pursuant
to the condition mentioned in this paragraph to terminate all or a portion of this option if in the
opinion of said Committee and Board, with the advice of counsel of the Company, this option or the
exercise thereof, together with any other options granted as of the Grant Date, does not conform
with any such applicable State or Federal law or regulation. Your ability to exercise your options
and receive the benefits of such exercise are further contingent upon your agreement that you will
remit to the Company any taxes that the Company is required by law to collect from you. The Company
reserves the right to deduct from the total number of shares purchased

Attachment 1-3

 

 

by you pursuant to the exercise of the options the number of shares the fair market value of
which equals any tax withholding obligation, which it has upon your exercise of the option. The
Company also reserves the right to require that any such taxes be remitted to the Company from the
proceeds of the sale of any stock acquired by you through exercise of the option by any stockbroker
effecting such sale.

     Section 2. The option hereby granted may be exercised prior to the Expiration Date as to all
or any of the shares then purchasable in accordance with the Notice of Grant by payment in full
therefor, at the corporate offices of the Company, either in (a) cash (including checks, bank draft
or money order) or (b) by delivering common stock of the Company previously owned of record by you,
or a combination of common stock of the Company owned of record by you and cash. The fair market
value of the common stock so delivered shall be the arithmetic mean of the high and low price of
the common stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Transactions listing on the day preceding
the exercise date. The utilization of common stock for all or part of the option price shall be
subject to rules and conditions issued by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee
including but not limited to common stock holding period requirements relating to pyramiding rules,
regulations, principles and practices of the Internal Revenue Service, the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the accounting profession. Upon receipt of such payment and payment of any required
withholding taxes, the Company will issue, sell and deliver fully paid and nonassessable shares of
common stock, having a par value of $0.01 per share, of the Company in the amount for which payment
is so made. As soon as practicable after such payment, delivery of the shares can be made either by
a certificate or certificates representing the shares of stock so purchased or by DWAC, if so
requested.

     Section 3. You are required to notify the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company, or
his or her designee, if you dispose of any of the shares acquired as a result of the exercise of
any incentive stock option granted to you hereunder within two (2) years from the date of this
agreement or within one (l) year from the date upon which such shares were acquired by you through
the exercise of this option.

     Section 4. The option hereby granted is personal to you and is not assignable except as
otherwise provided herein or in Section 7. Any non-incentive stock options may be transferred by
gift, without any consideration, to immediate family members, or to a trust the sole beneficiaries
of which are immediate family members or to a partnership including only immediate family members.
For purposes of this agreement, “immediate family members” include your spouse, children and
grandchildren. The immediate family members may make no further transfer of this option.

     Section 5. If your employment with the Company or a subsidiary company terminates prior to
the Expiration Date, by reason of early retirement or retirement at the Normal Retirement Date or
later, as defined in the Retirement Plan for Salaried

Attachment 1-4

 

 

Employees of EnPro Industries, Inc., (or as defined in a subsidiary company’s salaried pension
plan in the event your benefits are received solely from the subsidiary’s plan) in effect at the
time of your retirement, your privilege to purchase shares may be exercised by you at any time but
in no event later than the Expiration Date, and thereafter shall terminate.

     Section 6. If your employment with the Company or a subsidiary company terminates prior to
the Expiration Date by reason of permanent and total disability, determined on the basis of medical
evidence satisfactory to the Company, your privilege to purchase shares may be exercised by you at
any time within three years of disability, but in no event later than the Expiration Date, and
thereafter shall terminate.

     Section 7. If you should die prior to the Expiration Date, your privilege to purchase shares
may be exercised by your executors or administrators at any time within twelve (12) months of the
date of your death, but in no event later than the Expiration Date, and thereafter shall terminate.

     Section 8. If your employment with the Company or a subsidiary company terminates for any
reason other than death, retirement or permanent and total disability referred to in Sections 5, 6
and 7, your privilege to purchase vested shares may be exercised by you at any time within ninety
(90) days of the termination of your employment, but in no event later than the Expiration Date,
and thereafter shall terminate. This agreement is not intended to place upon you any obligation to
continue, nor to place upon the Company any obligation to continue you, in the employment of the
Company or its subsidiary and notwithstanding that some or all of the shares to which your option
relates shall not yet have become vested in accordance with the terms of this agreement, you and
the Company shall be free to terminate your employment as if this agreement had never been made.

     Section 9. In the event of any change in corporate capitalization (including, but not limited
to, a change in the number of shares of common stock outstanding), such as a stock split or a
corporate transaction, such as any merger, consolidation, separation, including a spin-off, or
other distribution of stock or property of the Company, any reorganization (whether or not such
reorganization comes within the definition of such term in Section 368 of the Internal Revenue
Code) or any partial or complete liquidation of the Company, the Compensation Committee or the
Board of Directors may make such substitution or adjustments in the number, kind and option price
of shares subject to this option and/or such other equitable substitution or adjustments as it may
determine to be appropriate in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the number of shares
subject to this option shall always be a whole number.

     Section 10. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), the number of
shares that were not immediately vested pursuant to the schedule contained in

Attachment 1-5

 

 

the Notice of Grant at the time of such Change in Control shall become immediately vested and
purchasable. Such purchase privileges shall remain exercisable by you for no less than the shorter
of (a) two years after the Change in Control date or (b) the remainder of the full term of this
option.

     Section 11. You are not entitled by virtue of your acceptance of this option agreement to any
rights of a shareholder of the Company or to notice of meetings of shareholders or of any other
proceedings of the Company.

     Section 12. All notices hereunder to the Company shall be delivered personally or mailed to
its corporate offices, attention: Secretary, 5605 Carnegie Blvd., Suite 500, Charlotte, North
Carolina 28209 and all notices hereunder to you shall be delivered personally or mailed to you at
your address noted above. Such addresses for the service of notices may be changed at any time
provided notice of such change is furnished in advance to the Company or to you, as the case may
be.

     Section 13. The Notice of Grant, this option agreement and the terms and conditions herein
set forth are subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Plan as approved by the
Board of Directors and shareholders, which are controlling. All decisions or interpretations of the
Board of Directors and of the Compensation Committee referred to herein shall be binding and
conclusive upon you or upon your executors or administrators upon any question arising hereunder or
under the Plan.

     The Notice of Grant, when accepted by you, together with this option agreement, will
constitute an agreement between us as of the date first above written, which shall bind and inure
to the benefit of our respective executors, administrators, successors and assigns

The Company sponsors the EnPro Industries, Inc. Amended and Restated 2002 Equity Compensation Plan

Plan, as modified herein (if applicable).

In recognition of the value of your contribution to the Company, you and the Company mutually
covenant and agree as follows:

	1.	 	Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company awards to
you the number of shares of Common Stock shown above (the “Shares”).
	 
	2.	 	You acknowledge having read the Prospectus and agree to be bound by all the terms and
conditions of the Plan and this Agreement.
	 
	3.	 	The Shares shall become vested on the date(s) shown on the enclosed Exhibit B. Until
they become vested, the Shares shall be held by the Company. While the Shares are held by the
Company, you shall not have the right to sell or otherwise dispose of the Shares or any
interest therein.
	 
	4.	 	Prior to vesting, you shall have the right to receive dividends on the Shares but you shall
have no right to vote the Shares.
	 
	5.	 	You agree that you shall comply with (or provide adequate assurance as to future compliance
with) all applicable securities laws and income tax laws as determined by the Company as a
condition precedent to the release of any Shares pursuant to this Agreement. In addition,
you agree that, upon request, you will furnish a letter

Attachment 2-1

 

	 	 	agreement providing that (i) you will not distribute or resell any of said Shares in
violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (ii) you will indemnify and hold the
Company harmless against all liability for any such violation and (iii) you will accept all
liability for any such violation.

	6.	 	By executing and returning the Beneficiary Designation Form attached as Exhibit C,
you may designate a beneficiary to receive any Shares awarded hereunder in the event of your
death while in service with the Company. If you do not designate a beneficiary or if your
designated beneficiary does not survive you, then your beneficiary will be your estate.
	 
	7.	 	You acknowledge and agree that upon your termination of employment with the Company and its
subsidiaries resulting in the forfeiture of any unvested Shares in accordance with paragraph
3 and Exhibit B of this Agreement or otherwise in accordance with the Plan, (i) your
right to receive cash dividends on, and all other rights, title or interest in, to or with
respect to, unvested Shares shall automatically, without further act, terminate and (ii) the
unvested Shares shall be returned to the Company. You hereby irrevocably appoint (which
appointment is coupled with an interest) the Company as your agent and attorney-in-fact to
take any necessary or appropriate action to cause the Shares to be returned to the Company,
including without limitation executing and delivering stock powers and instruments of
transfer, making endorsements and/or making, initiating or issuing instructions or
entitlement orders, all in your name and on your behalf. You hereby ratify and approve all
acts done by the Company as such attorney-in-fact. Without limiting the foregoing, you
expressly acknowledge and agree that any transfer agent for the Shares is fully authorized
and protected in relying on, and shall incur no liability in acting on, any documents,
instruments, endorsements, instructions, orders or communications from the Company in
connection with the Shares or the transfer thereof, and that any such transfer agent is a
third party beneficiary of this Agreement.
	 
	8.	 	The existence of this award shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or
its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations,
reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business, or any
merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior
preference stocks ahead of or convertible into, or otherwise affecting the Company’s Common
Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or
transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or
proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
	 
	9.	 	Any notice which either party hereto may be required or permitted to give to the other shall
be in writing and may be delivered personally, by intraoffice mail, by fax, by electronic
mail or other electronic means, or via a postal service, postage

Attachment 2-2

 

	 	 	prepaid, to such electronic mail or postal address and directed to such person as the
Company may notify you from time to time; and to you at your electronic mail or postal
address as shown on the records of the Company from time to time, or at such other
electronic mail or postal address as you, by notice to the Company, may designate in
writing from time to time.
	 
	10.	 	Regardless of any action the Company or your employer takes with respect to any or all
income tax, payroll tax or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), you
acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items owed by you is and remains
your responsibility and that the Company and/or your employer (i) make no representations or
undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect
of this award, including the grant and vesting of the Shares, the subsequent sale of Shares
following vesting and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to structure the
terms of the grant or any aspect of the Shares to reduce or eliminate your liability for
Tax-Related Items.
	 
	 	 	In the event the Company determines that it and/or your employer must withhold any
Tax-Related Items as a result of your participation in the Plan, you agree as a condition
of the grant of the Shares to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or your
employer to enable it to satisfy all withholding requirements, including, but not limited
to, withholding any applicable Tax-Related Items from the vesting and delivery of the
Shares. In addition, you authorize the Company and/or your employer to fulfill its
withholding obligations by all legal means, including, but not limited to: withholding
Tax-Related Items from your wages, salary or other cash compensation your employer pays to
you; withholding Tax-Related Items from the cash proceeds, if any, received upon sale of
any Shares following vesting; and at the time of vesting, withholding Shares sufficient to
meet minimum withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items. The Company may refuse to
deliver Shares upon vesting if you fail to comply with any withholding obligation.
	 
	11.	 	In the event any provision of this Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any
reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Agreement,
and the Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had
not been included. This Agreement constitutes the final understanding between you and the
Company regarding the Shares. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning
the Shares are superseded. Subject to the terms of the Plan, this Agreement may only be
amended by a written instrument signed by both parties.

Attachment 2-3

 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed by its duly
authorized officer, and you have hereunto set your hand, all effective as of the Grant Date listed
above.

EXHIBIT A

PROSPECTUS

3,600,000 SHARES

ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC.

COMMON STOCK

 

2002 EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN

(2005 AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT)

 

     This Prospectus relates to the offer and sale of up to 3,600,000 shares of our common stock to
eligible employees under the 2002 Equity Compensation Plan (2005 Amendment and Restatement) (the
“Plan”). The Plan was approved by our Board of Directors at its February 2005 meeting and by our
shareholders at the May 10, 2005 annual meeting. The Plan terminates on May 22, 2012, unless
terminated earlier by our Board of Directors.

     The purpose of the Plan is to promote the interests of the shareholders by providing
stock-based incentives to selected employees and “Outside Directors” to align their interests with
shareholders and to motivate them to put forth maximum efforts toward the continued growth,
profitability and success of our company.

     The Plan is generally administered by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of our
Board (the “Committee”). See “Administration” below. The Plan is not a qualified pension,
profit-sharing or stock bonus plan within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Further, in our view, the Plan is not subject to the
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

     For additional information concerning awards made under the Plan, please contact Steve
Spradling at 704-731-1516.

     This document constitutes part of a prospectus covering securities that have been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

The date of this Prospectus is February 15, 2008.

Attachment 2A-1

 

SUMMARY OF PLAN

     The following summary of the Plan is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference
to, all the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which may be obtained upon request.

Eligibility

     Salaried, full-time employees of us or of our subsidiaries may participate in the Plan. The
Committee, in its discretion, will select the award recipients and the nature and amount of any
awards. The Committee may delegate to our CEO and other senior officers authority to make such
award determinations within certain limits.

     In addition, members of our Board of Directors and any of our subsidiary corporations of which
we own more than 50% of the voting stock, excluding directors who are employees or former employees
of us or our subsidiaries within five years after their termination of employment (“Outside
Directors”) are eligible to receive awards of phantom shares as described below.

Number of Shares

     There are 3,600,000 shares of our common stock available for issuance under the Plan. If an
award made under the Plan terminates, expires, lapses or is canceled, the shares covered by that
award remain available for issuance under the Plan. Likewise, shares used to pay any option
exercise price or to satisfy a tax withholding obligation remain available for issuance under the
Plan. Shares of our common stock issued pursuant to the Plan may be original issue shares or
treasury shares.

Awards to Eligible Employees

     Pursuant to the Plan, the Committee may award eligible employees incentive stock options
(“ISOs”), nonqualified stock options (“NQSOs”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), performance
shares, restricted stock shares and other awards. Each award will be evidenced by an award
document setting forth the terms and provisions applicable to the award.

     Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. The Plan provides for the grant of options to
purchase shares of our common stock at option prices which are not less than the fair market value
of shares of our common stock at the close of business on the grant date. The Plan also provides
for the grant of SARs, which entitle holders upon exercise to receive shares of our common stock
with a value equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value on the exercise date of the
shares with respect to which an SAR is exercised and (ii) the fair market value of such shares on
the grant date.

Attachment 2A-2

 

     In making an option award, the Committee determines whether the award will be either an ISO or
NQSO. The Committee also establishes all of the other terms and conditions of each option award
and of any SAR at the time of grant, including any vesting requirements.

     The applicable award document will specify the term of the option or SARs (although ISOs may
not have a term exceeding 7 years from the date of grant), the extent to which options and SARs may
be exercised during their respective terms, including in the event of your death, disability or
termination of employment. You may pay the option exercise price either in cash or by tendering
shares of our common stock with a fair market value at the date of the exercise equal to the
portion of the exercise price which you do not pay in cash. In addition, the Committee may from
time to time allow cashless exercises by any means which it determines to be consistent with the
Plan’s purposes and applicable law.

     You will have no rights as a shareholder until you become the holder of record of shares of
our common stock issued upon exercise of such stock options.

     Performance Shares. The Committee may make awards of performance shares (which may be actual
shares of our common stock or phantom shares) subject to conditions established by the Committee
that may include attainment of specific performance objectives. Performance share awards may
include the awarding of additional shares upon attainment of the specified performance objectives.

     Restricted Shares. A restricted share is an actual share of our common stock issued in your
name that is subject to certain vesting requirements and which we hold until the applicable vesting
date, at which time the share is released to you. The Committee establishes all of the terms and
conditions of each award at the time of grant, including any vesting requirements, which are set
forth in an award document. Restricted share awards that vest based on continued employment
generally have a minimum three year vesting period. Prior to vesting, you may vote and receive
cash dividends with respect to restricted shares as specified in your award document.

     Other Awards. The Committee may make other awards under the Plan in units or phantom shares,
the value of which is based, in whole or in part, on the value of our common stock. The Committee
may provide that such awards are to be paid in cash, in shares, or in a combination of both cash
and shares, under such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish, which are set forth in
an award document.

Awards of Phantom Shares to Outside Directors

     Pursuant to the Plan, each Outside Director receives an annual grant of phantom shares on each
“Grant Date” (as defined below) equal in value to $25,000 (based on the fair market value of the
our common stock as of the date immediately preceding the applicable Grant Date). Such grants take
place at the first meeting of the Board of Directors each year

Attachment 2A-3

 

or, if earlier, the date in each year when stock options or performance share awards are
granted to eligible employees (the “Grant Date”). Each Outside Director receives annual grants
commencing in the year following the Outside Director’s election to the Board and continuing
through the Outside Director’s tenth year of service as a Director. For Outside Directors first
elected to the Board of Directors following the effective date of the Plan, the Outside Director
also receives upon initial election to the Board of Directors a one-time grant of phantom shares
equal in value to $30,000 (based on the fair market value of our common stock as of such date of
initial election to the Board of Directors).

     The terms and provisions of the phantom shares are as follows:

     Vesting. Phantom shares granted to Outside Directors are fully vested at grant.

     Dividend Equivalents. Dividend equivalents accrue on all phantom shares granted to Outside
Directors. Upon the payment date of each dividend declared on our common stock, that number of
additional phantom shares will be credited to each Outside Director’s award which has an equivalent
fair market value to the aggregate amount of dividends which would be paid if the number of the
Outside Director’s phantom shares were actual shares of the common stock. Dividend equivalents are
vested at the time the dividend is paid.

     Payment. Upon termination of service of an Outside Director as a member of the Board of
Directors (the “termination date”), we will pay to the Outside Director all phantom shares credited
to the Outside Director on the termination date in the form of one share of our common stock for
each whole phantom share, with cash for any fractional phantom share based on the fair market value
of our common stock on the applicable date. The shares of common stock are paid and delivered as
soon as administratively practicable after the termination date.

Award Limits

     The following limits apply to awards made under the Plan:

	 	•	 	In no event may any individual receive awards under the Plan for a given calendar
year covering in excess of 500,000 shares of our common stock.
	 
	 	•	 	We will not grant ISOs covering in the aggregate more than 1,000,000 shares of our
common stock during the term of the Plan.
	 
	 	•	 	We will not issue more than 1,000,000 shares of our common stock in respect of
performance share awards or other equity-based awards.
	 
	 	•	 	We will not issue more than 150,000 shares of our common stock in respect of
restricted share awards.

Attachment 2A-4

 

Transferability of Awards

     You may not transfer any award granted under this Plan other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution or by such other means as the Committee may approve from time to time.

Withholding for Payment of Taxes

     The Committee will have the right to determine the amount of any Federal, state or local
required withholding tax, and may require that any such required withholding tax be satisfied by
withholding shares of our common stock or other amounts which would otherwise be payable under this
Plan.

Changes in Capitalization and Similar Changes

     In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of our common stock by reason of any
stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination,
exchange of shares or otherwise, the aggregate number of shares of our common stock with respect to
which awards may be made under the Plan, and the terms, types of shares and number of shares of any
outstanding awards under the Plan may be equitably adjusted by the Committee in its discretion to
preserve the benefit of the award for both you and us.

Change in Control

     The Plan provides that, in the event of a change in control of our company (as defined in the
Plan), all options and SARs will be fully exercisable as of the date of the change in control and
will remain exercisable for a period of two years thereafter (not to exceed the original award
term). The Committee may also take actions with respect to outstanding awards of performance
shares or restricted shares or other awards.

Amendment and Termination of Plan

     Our Board of Directors has the power to amend, modify or terminate the Plan on a prospective
basis, provided that the Board of Directors may condition any amendment to the Plan on shareholder
approval if it deems shareholder approval to be necessary or appropriate.

Administration

     The Plan is administered by the Committee. Under the Plan, the Committee has the authority to
(i) select the employees to receive awards from time to time, (ii) make awards in such amounts as
it determines, (iii) impose limitations, restrictions and conditions upon awards as it deems
appropriate, (iv) establish performance targets and allocation formulas for awards of performance
shares, restricted shares or other awards intended to be “qualified

Attachment 2A-5

 

performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m), (v) certify the attainment of
performance goals, if applicable, as required by Code Section 162(m), (vi) interpret the Plan and
adopt, amend and rescind administrative guidelines and other rules and regulations relating to the
Plan, (vii) correct any defect or omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any award
granted thereunder and (viii) make all other determinations and take all other actions necessary or
advisable for the implementation and administration of the Plan. The Committee may delegate its
authority under the Plan to the extent permitted by applicable law. All determinations and
decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the Plan will be final, conclusive and binding.

Code Section 162(m)

     Because stock options and SARs granted under the Plan must have an exercise price equal at
least to fair market value at the date of grant, compensation from the exercise of stock options
and SARs should be treated as “qualified performance-based compensation” for Code Section 162(m)
purposes.

     In addition, the Plan authorizes the Committee to make awards of performance shares,
restricted shares and other awards that are conditioned on the satisfaction of certain performance
criteria. For awards intended to result in “qualified performance-based compensation,” the
Committee will establish prior to or within 90 days after the start of the applicable performance
period the applicable performance conditions. The Committee may select from the following
performance measures for such purpose: (i) net income, (ii) pretax income, (iii) consolidated
operating income, (iv) segment operating income, (v) return on equity, (vi) operating income return
on net capital employed, (vii) return on assets, (viii) cash flow (with or without regard to
asbestos), (ix) working capital, (x) share appreciation, (xi) total shareholder return, (xii) total
business return (calculated utilizing earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization and cash flow) and (xiii) earnings per share of common stock. The Committee will
state the performance conditions in the form of an objective, nondiscretionary formula and will
certify in writing the attainment of such performance conditions prior to any payout with respect
to such awards. The Committee in its discretion may adjust downward the permissible amount of any
such award, even if the performance objective is achieved.

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

     This section contains only a general discussion of the potential United States federal income
tax consequences to you under the Plan. State or local tax rules, and tax rules applicable in
jurisdictions outside the United Sates, are not discussed. The federal income tax consequences
relating to the Plan are complex. You should consult with your personal tax advisor regarding such
consequences.

     Incentive Stock Options. ISOs granted under the Plan are subject to the applicable provisions
of the Code, including Code Section 422. If shares of our common stock are

Attachment 2A-6

 

issued to you upon the exercise of an ISO, and if you make no “disqualifying disposition” of
such shares within one year after the exercise of the ISO or within two years after the date the
ISO was granted, then (i) you will recognize no income at the time of the grant of the ISO, (ii)
you will recognize no income, for regular income tax purposes, at the date of exercise, (iii) upon
sale of the shares acquired by exercise of the ISO, any amount realized in excess of the option
price will be taxed to you, for regular income tax purposes, as a capital gain and any loss
sustained will be a capital loss, and (iv) we will not be allowed to take any deduction for federal
income tax purposes. The applicable capital gain tax rate will depend on how long the shares were
held and on your income tax bracket. If you make a “disqualifying disposition” of such shares, you
will realize taxable ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of
the shares purchased at the time of exercise over the option price (the “bargain purchase element”)
and we will be entitled to a federal income tax deduction equal to such amount. The amount of any
gain in excess of the bargain purchase element realized upon a “disqualifying disposition” will be
taxable as capital gain to the holder (for which we will not be entitled a federal income tax
deduction). Upon exercise of an ISO, you may be subject to alternative minimum tax.

     Nonqualified Stock Options. With respect to NQSOs granted under the Plan, (i) you will
recognize no income at the time the NQSO is granted, (ii) at exercise, you will recognize ordinary
income in an amount equal to the difference between the option price and the fair market value of
the shares on the date of exercise, and we will receive a tax deduction for the same amount, and
(iii) on disposition, appreciation or depreciation after the date of exercise is treated as a
capital gain or loss, in which case the applicable capital gain tax rate will depend on how long
you held the shares and on your income tax bracket.

     Stock Appreciation Rights. SARs granted under the Plan are taxed much like NQSOs: (i) you
will recognize no income at the time the SAR is granted, (ii) at exercise, you will recognize
ordinary income in an amount equal to the numbers of shares in respect of which the SAR is
exercised multiplied by the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date of
exercise and the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant, and we will receive a tax
deduction for the same amount, and (iii) on disposition of shares acquired upon exercise of the
SAR, appreciation or depreciation after the date of exercise is treated as a capital gain or loss,
in which case the applicable capital gain tax rate will depend on how long you held the shares and
on your income tax bracket.

     Performance Shares. Generally, you are not taxed on performance shares until the date on
which you become entitled to a payout of the earned performance shares. On the date you become
entitled to receive the earned shares following completion of a performance cycle, the fair market
value of the shares at that time is considered to be ordinary income and you will be taxed on that
amount. If you hold the shares and later sell them, any appreciation over the market value of the
shares when you received them at the end of the performance cycle will be taxed based on capital
gains tax rules. We

Attachment 2A-7

 

generally will be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount that is taxable as ordinary
compensation income to you.

     Restricted Shares. Upon becoming entitled to receive shares at the end of the applicable
restriction period without a forfeiture, you will have ordinary income in an amount equal to the
fair market value of the shares at that time. However, if you make an election under Code Section
83(b) within 30 days of the date of the grant, you will have ordinary taxable income on the date of
the grant equal to the fair market value of the restricted shares as if the shares were
unrestricted and could be sold immediately. If you forfeit the shares subject to such election, you
will not be entitled to any deduction, refund or loss for tax purposes. Upon sale of the shares
after the forfeiture period has expired, the holding period to determine whether you have long-term
or short-term capital gain or loss begins when the restriction period expires, and the tax basis
will be equal to the fair market value of the shares when the restriction period expires. However,
if you timely elect to be taxed as of the date of grant, the holding period commences on the date
of the grant and the tax basis will be equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of
the grant as if the shares were then unrestricted and could be sold immediately. We generally will
be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount that is taxable as ordinary compensation income to
you.

     Phantom Shares for Outside Directors. Generally, you will have ordinary compensation income
upon payment of the phantom shares in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares of
common stock delivered (plus cash for any fractional phantom shares). As an Outside Director, this
will be self-employment income subject to self-employment taxes. The holding period to determine
whether you have long-term or short-term capital gain or loss for a subsequent sale of the shares
of common stock received in payment of the phantom shares begins when the shares are delivered, and
the tax basis in the shares will be equal to the fair market value of the shares on the payment
date. We generally will be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount that is taxable as ordinary
compensation income to you.

RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE

     If you are one of our “affiliates” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, resales of
shares of our common stock that you acquire under awards under the Plan will be subject to the
volume, manner of sale and reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act unless we
register your shares under the Securities Act for resale pursuant to a separate prospectus. If you
have been designated as one of our reporting officers for purposes of Section 16(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), resales of shares of our common stock that
you acquire under awards pursuant to the Plan may be “matched” with nonexempt purchases of our
common stock within the previous or following six months for purposes of the “short-swing profits”
recovery provisions of Section 16(b). Further, in no event may you sell shares of our common
stock, whether acquired pursuant to the Plan or otherwise, if you are in possession of material
information regarding our company that has not been publicly disclosed.

Attachment 2A-8

 

     You are advised to consult with counsel regarding your status as an affiliate and as a Section
16(b) reporting officer and the application of other federal and state securities laws to resales
of shares of our common stock that you acquire pursuant to the Plan.

MANAGEMENT CONTINUITY AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT dated as of this ___ day of April 2008 between Stephen E. Macadam (the
“Executive”) and EnPro Industries, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (the “Company”).

     WHEREAS, the Company considers it essential to the best interests of its shareholders to
foster the continuous employment of key management personnel in the event there is, or is
threatened, a change in control of the Company; and

     WHEREAS, the Company recognizes that the uncertainty and questions which may arise among key
management in connection with the possibility of a change in control may result in the departure or
distraction of key management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its shareholders; and

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide certain protection to Executive in the event of a
change in control of the Company as set forth in this Agreement in order to induce Executive to
remain in the employ of the Company notwithstanding any risks and uncertainties created by the
possibility of a change in control of the Company;

WITNESSETH:

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises herein contained,
the parties agree as follows:

     1. Term. The “Term” of this Agreement shall mean the period commencing on the date
hereof and ending thirty-six (36) months after such date; provided, however, that commencing on the
date one year after the date hereof, and on each annual anniversary of such date (such date and
each annual anniversary thereof shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Renewal Date”), the Term
shall be automatically extended so as to terminate thirty-six (36) months from such Renewal Date,
unless at least sixty (60) days prior to the Renewal Date the Company shall give notice to the
Executive that the Term shall not be so extended.

     2. Period of Employment. Executive’s “Period of Employment” shall commence on the
date on which a Change in Control occurs during the Term and shall end on the date that is
thirty-six (36) months after the date on which such Change in Control occurs (subject to the
provisions of Section 20 below pursuant to which the Period of Employment may be deemed to have
commenced prior to the date of a Change in Control in certain circumstances).

     3. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

     “Board” shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company.

Attachment 4-1

 

     “Cause” shall mean Executive’s termination of employment with the Company due to (A) the
willful and continued failure by Executive to substantially perform Executive’s duties with
the Company, which failure causes material and demonstrable injury to the Company (other
than any such failure resulting from Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental
illness), after a demand for substantial performance is delivered to Executive by the Board
which specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that Executive has not
substantially performed Executive’s duties, and after Executive has been given a period
(hereinafter known as the “Cure Period”) of at least thirty (30) days to correct Executive’s
performance, or (B) the willful engaging by Executive in other gross misconduct materially
and demonstrably injurious to the Company. For purposes hereof, no act, or failure to act, on
Executive’s part shall be considered “willful” unless conclusively demonstrated to have been
done, or omitted to be done, by Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief
that Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless and
until there shall have been delivered to Executive a Notice of Termination which shall
include a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than
three-quarters of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and
held for the purpose (after reasonable notice to Executive and an opportunity for Executive,
together with Executive’s counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good
faith opinion of the Board Executive was guilty of conduct set forth above in clause (A)
(including the expiration of the Cure Period without the correction of Executive’s
performance) or clause (B) above and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

     “Change in Control” shall mean:

     (i) The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section
13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”)), of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the
Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either (A) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the
Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (B) the combined voting power of the then
outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that the
following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control: (A) any acquisition directly
from the Company (other than by exercise of a conversion privilege), (B) any acquisition by
the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (C) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or
related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (D) any
acquisition by any company with respect to which, following such acquisition, more than 70%
of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of such company and the
combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such company entitled to
vote generally in the election of directors is then beneficially owned, directly or
indirectly, by all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the
beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding
Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such acquisition in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership, solely in their capacity as shareholders of the Company,
immediately prior to such acquisition, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and
Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be; or (ii) individuals who, as of the
Distribution Date (as such term is defined in the Distribution Agreement among Goodrich
Corporation, EnPro Industries, Inc. and Coltec Industries Inc.), constitute the Board (the
“Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute

Attachment 4-2

 

at least a majority of the Board;
provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the Distribution
Date whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved
by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall
be considered as though such individual were a member
of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose
initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election
contest; or (iii) consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation, in each case,
with respect to which all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the
beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding
Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation,
do not, following such reorganization, merger or consolidation, beneficially own, directly or
indirectly, solely in their capacity as shareholders of the Company, more than 70% of,
respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of
the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors, as the case may be, of the company resulting from such reorganization, merger or
consolidation in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to
such reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and
Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be; or (iv) consummation of (A) a
complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or (B) a sale or other disposition of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company, other than to a company, with respect to
which following such sale or other disposition, more than 70% of, respectively, the then
outstanding shares of common stock of such company and the combined voting power of the then
outstanding voting securities of such company entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors is then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of
the individuals and entities, solely in their capacity as shareholders of the Company, who
were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and
Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such sale or other disposition in
substantially the same proportion as their ownership, immediately prior to such sale or other
disposition, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting
Securities, as the case may be.

“Date of Termination” is as defined in Section 8 below.

“Good Reason” shall mean:

     (i) without Executive’s express written consent, (A) the assignment to Executive of any
new duties or responsibilities substantially inconsistent in character with Executive’s
duties and responsibilities within the Company immediately prior to a Change in Control, (B)
any substantial adverse change in Executive’s duties and responsibilities as in effect
immediately prior to a Change in Control, including, but not limited to, a reduction in
duties or responsibilities which occurs because the Company is no longer an independent
publicly-held entity, (C) any removal of Executive from or any failure to re-elect Executive
to any director position of the Company, (D) a change in the annual or long term incentive
plan in which Executive currently participates such that Executive’s opportunity to earn
incentive compensation is impaired, (E) a material reduction in the aggregate value of
Company perquisites made available to Executive, (F) an elimination or material impairment of
Executive’s ability to participate in retirement plans comparable to those in which Executive
currently participates, (G) any substantial increase in Executive’s obligation to travel on
the

Attachment 4-3

 

Company’s business over Executive’s present business travel obligations, or (H) an
elimination or material impairment of Executive’s ability to receive stock options with
values comparable to those Executive was granted within the one year period preceding the
commencement of the Period of Employment; (ii) the failure of the Company to comply with any
other of its obligations under Section 4 herein; (iii) the relocation of the offices of the
Company at which Executive was employed immediately prior to the Change in Control to a
location which is more
than fifty (50) miles from such prior location, or the failure of the Company to (A) pay
or reimburse Executive, in accordance with the Company’s relocation policy for its employees
in existence immediately prior to a Change in Control, for all reasonable costs and expenses;
plus “gross ups” referred to in such policy incurred by Executive relating to a change of
Executive’s principal residence in connection with any relocation of the Company’s offices to
which Executive consents, and (B) indemnify Executive against any loss (defined as the
difference between the actual sale price of such residence and the higher of (1) Executive’s
aggregate investment in such residence or (2) the fair market value of such residence as
determined by the relocation management organization used by the Company immediately prior to
the Change in Control (or other real estate appraiser designated by Executive and reasonably
satisfactory to the Company)) realized in the sale of Executive’s principal residence in
connection with any such change of residence; (iv) the failure of the Company to obtain the
assumption of and the agreement to perform this Agreement by any successor as contemplated in
Section 11 hereof; or (v) any purported termination of Executive’s employment during the
Period of Employment which is not effected pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying the
requirements of Section 7 hereof.

     “Incapacity Discharge” means Executive’s termination of employment with the Company if,
as a result of Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness, Executive shall have
been absent from Executive’s duties with the Company on a full-time basis for one-hundred
twenty (120) consecutive business days, and within thirty (30) days after a written Notice
of Termination is given, Executive shall not have returned to the full-time performance of
Executive’s duties.

     “Mandatory Retirement Date” shall mean the compulsory retirement date, if any,
established by the Company for those executives of the Company who, by reason of their
positions and the size of their nonforfeitable annual retirement benefits under the Company’s
pension, profit-sharing, and deferred compensation plans, are exempt from, the provisions of
the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. Sections 621, et seq., which date shall
not in any event be earlier for any executive than the last day of the month in which such
Executive reaches age 65.

     “Notice of Termination” is as defined in Section 7 below.

     “Payment Period” shall mean thirty-six (36) months, provided that the Payment Period
shall not exceed the number of whole calendar months between the Executive’s Date of
Termination and Mandatory Retirement Date (if applicable).

     4. Compensation During Period of Employment. For so long during Executive’s Period of
Employment as Executive is an employee of the Company, the Company shall be obligated to

Attachment 4-4

 

compensate
Executive as follows:

     (a) Executive shall continue to receive Executive’s full base salary at the rate in
effect immediately prior to the Change in Control. Executive’s base salary shall be
increased annually, with each such increase due on the anniversary date of Executive’s most
recent previous increase. Each such increase shall be no less than an amount which at least
equals on a percentage basis the mean of the annualized percentage increases in base salary
for all elected officers of the Company during the two full calendar years immediately
preceding the Change in
Control.

     (b) Executive shall continue to participate in all benefit and compensation plans
(including but not limited to the Equity Compensation Plan, Long-Term Incentive Program,
Performance Share Deferred Compensation Plan, Annual Performance Plan, Executive Life
Insurance Program, Deferred Compensation Plan, 401(K) plan, savings plan, flexible benefits
plan, life insurance plan, health and accident plan or disability plan) in which Executive
was participating immediately prior to the Change in Control, or in plans providing
substantially similar benefits, in either case upon terms and conditions and at levels at
least as favorable as those provided to Executive under the plans in which Executive was
participating immediately prior to the Change in Control;

     (c) Executive shall continue to receive all fringe benefits, perquisites, and similar
arrangements which Executive was entitled to receive immediately prior to the Change in
Control; and

     (d) Executive shall continue to receive annually the number of paid vacation days and
holidays Executive was entitled to receive immediately prior to the Change in Control.

     5. Compensation Upon Termination of Employment. The following provisions set forth
the benefits that may become payable to Executive upon termination of employment with the Company
during the Period of Employment in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of Section 6
below:

     (a) By not later than the fifth business day following the Date of Termination, the
Company shall pay Executive in a lump sum an amount equal to the sum of the following:

     (i) any base salary that is earned but unpaid as of the Date of Termination;

     (ii) a pro rata portion of the “target incentive amount” under the Annual
Performance Plan for the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs (based
on the number of calendar days in such calendar year completed through the Date of
Termination); and

     (iii) a pro rata portion of the “calculated market value” of the phantom
Performance Shares, if any, awarded to Executive under the Company’s Long-Term
Incentive Program (the “LTIP”) for each Plan Cycle under the LTIP that has not been
completed as of the Date of Termination, determined as follows:

Attachment 4-5

 

     (A) The performance for each such Plan Cycle under the applicable LTIP
award agreement shall be determined based on (x) for any completed calendar
year of the Plan Cycle as of the Date of Termination, actual performance for
the calendar year, (y) for the calendar year in which the Date of Termination
occurs if at least one calendar quarter has been completed during such calendar
year, the greater of target performance for the calendar year or actual
performance for the completed calendar quarter(s) for the calendar year
annualized for the year, and (z) for any other calendar years of the Plan
Cycle, target performance for the calendar year.

     (B) The number of phantom Performance Shares for each such Plan Cycle
shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula set forth in the applicable
LTIP award agreement based on the performance for the Plan Cycle determined
under paragraph (A) above.

     (C) The pro rata portion of the “calculated market value” of the number
of phantom Performance Shares adjusted in accordance with paragraph (B) above
shall be based on the number of calendar days in the Plan Cycle completed
through the Date of Termination.

Section 5(c) below sets for the method for determining the “target incentive amount” under
the Annual Performance Plan and the “calculated market value” of phantom Performance Shares
under the LTIP. Any amounts payable under Sections 5(a)(ii) or (iii) above shall be offset
dollar-for-dollar by any pro rata payments otherwise provided for under the Annual
Performance Plan or the LTIP.

     (b) In lieu of any salary payments that Executive would have received if he had
continued in the employment of the Company during the Payment Period, the Company shall pay
to Executive in a lump sum, by not later than the fifth business day following the Date of
Termination, an amount equal to one-twelfth of Executive’s annualized base salary in effect
immediately prior to the Date of Termination, multiplied by the number of months in the
Payment Period.

     (c) By not later than the fifth day following the Date of Termination, the Company
shall pay Executive in a lump sum an amount equal to the sum of:

     (i) under the Annual Performance Plan (and in lieu of any further awards under
the Annual Performance Plan that Executive would have received if he had continued in
the employment of the Company during the Payment Period), the number of months in the
Payment Period multiplied by the greatest of one-twelfth of: (A) the amount most
recently paid to Executive for a full calendar year; (B) Executive’s “target incentive
amount” for the calendar year in which his Date of Termination occurs; or (C)
Executive’s “target incentive amount” in effect prior to the Change in Control for the
calendar year in which the Change in Control occurs; plus, if applicable,

     (ii) under the LTIP (and in lieu of any further grants under the LTIP that
Executive

Attachment 4-6

 

would have received if he had continued in the employment of the Company
during the Payment Period), twenty-four (24) multiplied by the greatest of: (A) with
respect to the most recently completed Plan Cycle as of the Date of Termination,
one-twelfth of the “calculated market value” of the Performance Shares actually
awarded Executive (including the value of any Performance Shares Executive may have
elected to defer under the Performance Share Deferred Compensation Program); (B) with
respect to the most recently commenced Plan Cycle under the LTIP (if Executive is a
participant in such Plan Cycle) prior to Executive’s Date of Termination, one-twelfth
of the “calculated market value” of the phantom Performance Shares, if any, awarded to
Executive; or (C) with respect to the most recently commenced Plan Cycle prior to the
date of the occurrence of the Change in Control, one-twelfth of the “calculated market
value” of the phantom Performance Shares, if any, awarded to Executive.

     For purposes of this Section 5, Executive’s “target incentive amount” under the
Annual Performance Plan for a given calendar year (i.e., the calendar year in which
the Date of Termination occurs or the Change in Control occurs, as applicable) is
determined by multiplying (i) Executive’s annualized total gross base salary for the
calendar year by (ii) the incentive target percentage which is applicable to
Executive’s incentive category under the Annual Performance Plan for the calendar
year. For purposes of this Section 5, the “calculated market value” of each
Performance Share actually awarded upon completion of a Plan Cycle, Performance Share
deferred under the Performance Share Deferred Compensation Program or phantom
Performance Share granted under the LTIP shall be the mean of the high and low prices
of the Company’s common stock on the relevant date as reported on the New York Stock
Exchange Composite Transactions listing (or similar report), or, if no sale was made
on such date, then on the next preceding day on which a sale was made multiplied by
the number of shares involved in the calculation. The relevant date for Section
5(a)(iii) and clauses 5(c)(ii)(B) and 5(c)(ii)(C) is the date upon which the
Compensation Committee (“Committee”) of the Board of Directors awarded the phantom
Performance Shares in question; for clause 5(c)(ii)(A) the relevant date is the date
on which the Committee made a determination of attainment of financial objectives and
awarded Performance Shares (including any Performance Shares Executive may have
elected to defer under the Performance Share Deferred Compensation Program).

     Any payments received pursuant to Sections 5(c)(i) or (ii) above shall be in
addition to, and not in lieu of, any payments required to be made to Executive as the
result of the happening of an event that would constitute a change in control pursuant
to the provisions of the Annual Performance Plan or LTIP, as applicable.

     (d) By not later than the fifth day following the Date of Termination, the Company shall
pay Executive in a lump sum an amount equal to the sum of:

     (i) If Executive is under age 55, or over the age of 55 but not eligible to
retire, at the Date of Termination the present value of all health and welfare
benefits the Executive would have been entitled to had the Executive continued as an
employee of the Company during the Payment Period and been entitled to or participated
in the same

Attachment 4-7

 

health and welfare benefits during the Payment Period as immediately prior
to the Date of Termination plus an amount in cash equal to the amount necessary to
cause the amount of the aggregate after-tax lump sum payment the Executive receives
pursuant to this provision to be equal to the aggregate after-tax value of the
benefits which Executive would have received if Executive continued to receive such
benefits as an employee; or

     (ii) If Executive is age 55 or over and eligible to retire on the Date of
Termination, the present value of the health and welfare benefits to which Executive
would have been entitled under the Company’s general retirement policies if Executive
retired on the Date of Termination with the Company paying that percentage of the
premium cost of the plans which it would have paid under the terms of the plans in
effect immediately prior to the Change of Control with respect to individuals who
retire at age 65, regardless of Executive’s actual age on the Termination Date,
provided such lump sum value would be at least equal to the lump sum value of the
benefits which would
have been payable if Executive had been eligible to retire and had retired immediately
prior to the Change in Control.

     (e) By not later than the fifth day following the Date of Termination, the Company
shall pay Executive in a lump sum an amount equal to the sum of the present value of the
fringe benefit programs, perquisites (if any), and similar arrangements the Executive would
have been entitled to receive had the Executive continued in employment with the Company for
the Payment Period and been entitled to or participated in the same such benefits during the
Payment Period as immediately prior to the Date of Termination. In addition and
notwithstanding any provision of the Company’s 2002 Equity Compensation Plan (or any
comparable equity award plan of the Company) or any applicable award agreement thereunder to
the contrary, Executive may exercise any of Executive’s stock options that are vested as of
Executive’s Date of Termination at any time during the Payment Period (but not exceeding the
original expiration date of the options).

     (f) The Company shall, in addition to the benefits to which Executive is entitled under
the retirement plans or programs sponsored by the Company or its affiliates in which
Executive participates (including without limitation any Supplemental Executive Retirement
Plan in which Executive participates, if applicable), pay Executive in a lump sum in cash by
no later than the fifth day following the Date of Termination an amount equal to the
actuarial equivalent of the retirement pension to which Executive would have been entitled
under the terms of such retirement plans or programs had Executive accumulated additional
years of continuous service under such plans equal in length to Executive’s Payment Period.
The length of the Payment Period will be added to total years of continuous service for
determining vesting, the amount of benefit accrual, to the age which Executive will be
considered to be for the purposes of determining eligibility for normal or early retirement
calculations and the age used for determining the amount of any actuarial reduction. For the
purposes of calculating the additional benefit accrual under this paragraph, the amount of
compensation Executive will be deemed to have received during each month of Executive’s
Payment Period shall be equal to the sum of Executive’s annual base salary prorated on a
monthly basis as provided for under Section 4(a) immediately prior to the Date of Termination
(including salary increases), plus under the Company’s Annual Performance Plan the greatest
of one-twelfth of:

Attachment 4-8

 

     (i) the amount most recently paid to Executive for a full calendar year,

     (ii) Executive’s “target incentive amount” for the calendar year in which
Executive’s Date of Termination occurs, or

     (iii) Executive’s “target incentive amount” in effect prior to the Change in
Control for the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurs. Attached as
Exhibit 1 is an illustration, not intending to be exhaustive, of examples of how
inclusion of the Payment Period may affect the calculation of Executive’s retirement
benefit.

     (g) In no event shall any amount payable to Executive described in this Section 5 be
considered compensation or earnings under any pension, savings or other retirement plan of
the Company.

     6. Termination.

     (a) Termination Without Compensation. If Executive’s employment is terminated for any
of the following reasons, Executive shall not be entitled by virtue of this Agreement to any
of the benefits provided in the foregoing Section 5:

     (i) If, prior to the commencement of the Period of Employment, Executive’s
employment with the Company is terminated at any time for any reason, including
without limitation due to (A) Executive’s death, (B) an Incapacity Discharge, (C) a
termination initiated by the Company with or without Cause or (D) resignation,
retirement or other termination initiated by Executive with or without Good Reason,
subject, however, to the provisions of Section 20 below.

     (ii) If Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated during the Period
of Employment with Cause.

     (iii) If Executive resigns, retires or otherwise voluntarily terminates
employment with the Company during the Period of Employment without Good Reason.

     (b) Termination with Compensation. If Executive’s employment is terminated for any of
the following reasons, Executive shall be entitled by virtue of this Agreement to the
benefits provided in the foregoing Section 5 as follows:

     (i) If, during the Period of Employment, the Company discharges Executive other
than for Cause, Executive shall receive all of the benefits and payments provided in
Section 5.

     (ii) Executive may terminate his employment with the Company at any time during
the Period of Employment for Good Reason (“Good Reason Termination”) and shall receive
all of the benefits and payments provided in Section 5.

Attachment 4-9

 

     (iii) If, during the Period of Employment, Executive either (A) retires from
employment with the Company or (B) if the Company discharges Executive due to an
Incapacity Discharge, in either case while Executive has cause to terminate his
employment as a Good Reason Termination (whether or not Executive has provided Notice
of Termination to the Company pursuant to Section 7), Executive shall receive all of
the benefits and payments provided in Section 5.

     (iv) If Executive dies while employed by the Company during the Period of
Employment while having cause to terminate his employment as a Good Reason Termination
(whether or not Executive has provided Notice of Termination to the Company pursuant
to Section 7), Executive’s beneficiary or beneficiaries named on Exhibit 2 to this
Agreement (or Executive’s estate if he has not named a beneficiary) shall be entitled
to receive those payments provided under Sections 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) of this
Agreement in addition to any benefits that such beneficiaries would be entitled under
any other plan, program or policy of the Company as a result of Executive’s employment
with the Company.

     (v) Executive may become eligible for the benefits and payments under Section 5
for termination of employment prior to a Change in Control in accordance with,
and subject to, the provisions of Section 20 below.

     7. Notice of Termination. Any termination of Executive’s employment by the Company or
any termination by Executive as a Good Reason Termination shall be communicated by written notice
to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, such notice shall be referred to as a
“Notice of Termination.” Such notice shall, to the extent applicable, set forth the specific reason
for termination, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to
provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated.

     8. Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean:

     (a) If Executive terminates Executive’s employment as a Good Reason Termination, the
date specified in the Notice of Termination, but in no event more than sixty (60) days after
Notice of Termination is given.

     (b) If Executive’s employment is terminated with Cause, the date on which a Notice of
Termination is given, except that the Date of Termination shall not be any date prior to the
date on which the Cure Period expires without the correction of Executive’s performance (if
applicable).

     (c) If Executive’s employment pursuant to this Agreement is terminated following
absence due to physical incapacity as an Incapacity Discharge, then the Date of Termination
shall be thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination is given (provided that Executive shall
not have returned to the performance of Executive’s duties on a full-time basis during such
thirty (30) day period).

     (d) A termination of employment by either the Company or by Executive shall not affect

Attachment 4-10

 

any rights Executive or Executive’s surviving spouse or beneficiaries may have pursuant to
any other agreement or plan of the Company providing benefits to Executive, except as
provided in such agreement or plan.

     9. Certain Additional Payments.

     (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall
be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to Executive or for Executive’s
benefit (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments
required under this Section 9) (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 (or any successor provisions) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”), or any interest or penalty is incurred by Executive with respect to such excise
tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, is hereinafter
collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then Executive shall be entitled to receive an
additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by Executive
of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes),
including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with
respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed on the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount
of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.

     (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 9(c), all determinations required to be made
under this Section 9, including whether and when such a Gross-Up Payment is required and the
amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such
determination, shall be made by Ernst & Young (or their successors) (the “Accounting Firm”)
which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and to Executive
within fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of notice from Executive that there has been
a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. In the event that the
Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group
effecting the Change in Control, Executive shall appoint another nationally recognized
accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall
then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the
Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment as determined
pursuant to this Section 9, shall be paid by the Company to Executive within five (5) days of
the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination. If the Accounting Firm determines that no
Excise Tax is payable by Executive, it shall furnish Executive with a written opinion that
failure to report the Excise Tax on Executive’s applicable federal income tax return would
not result in the imposition of a negligence or similar penalty. Any determination by the
Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and Executive. As a result of the
uncertainty of the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial
determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which
will not have been made by the Company should have been made (“Underpayment”). In the event
that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 9(c) and Executive thereafter is
required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount
of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the
Company to Executive or for Executive’s benefit.

Attachment 4-11

 

     (c) Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue
Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of the Gross-Up
Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten (10)
business days after Executive or his representative is informed in writing of such claim and
shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is
requested to be paid. Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the
thirty (30) day period following the date on which Executive gives such notice to the Company
(or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such
claim is due). If the Company notifies Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such
period that it desires to contest such claim, Executive shall:

     (i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company
relating to such claim,

     (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company
shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation,
accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably
selected by the Company,

     (iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest
such claim, and

     (iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such
claim; however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses
(including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest
and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise
Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a
result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on
the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(c), the Company shall control all
proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue
or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences
with the taxing authority in respect of any such claim and may, at its sole option,
either direct Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the
claim in any permissible manner, and Executive agree to prosecute such contest to a
determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction
and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided,
however, that if the Company directs Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund,
the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to Executive, on an interest-free
basis and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any
Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto)
imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with
respect to such advance; and further provided that any extension of the statute of
limitations relating to payment of taxes for Executive’s taxable year with respect to
which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested
amount. Furthermore, the Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues
with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable

Attachment 4-12

 

hereunder and Executive
shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by
the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

     (d) If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to
Section 9(c), Executive become entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim,
Executive shall (subject to the Company’s complying with the requirements of Section 9(c))
promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or
credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by Executive of an
amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 9(c), a determination is made that
Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company does
not notify Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the
expiration of thirty (30) days after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven
and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the
extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.

     (e) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9 to the contrary, in no event shall
any payments made to Executive under this Section 9 be made later than the end of the
calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive remits the Excise Tax.

10. No Obligation to Mitigate Damages, No Effect on Other Contractual Rights. Executive
shall not be required to refund the amount of any payment or employee benefit provided for or
otherwise mitigate damages under this Agreement by seeking or accepting other employment or
otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment required to be made under this Agreement be reduced
by any compensation earned by Executive as the result of any employment by another employer after
the date of termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, or otherwise. Upon receipt of
written notice from Executive that Executive has been reemployed by another company or entity on a
full-time basis, benefits, fringe benefits and perquisites otherwise receivable by Executive
pursuant to Sections 5(d) or 5(e) related to life, health, disability and accident insurance plans
and programs and other similar benefits, company cars, financial planning, country club
memberships, and the like (but not incentive compensation, LTIP, pension plans or other similar
plans and programs) shall be reduced to the extent comparable benefits are made available to
Executive at his new employment and any such benefits actually received by Executive shall be
reported to the Company by Executive.

     The provisions of the Agreement, and any payment or benefit provided for hereunder shall not
reduce any amount otherwise payable, or in any way diminish Executive’s existing rights, or rights
which would occur solely as a result of the passage of time, under any other agreement, contract,
plan or arrangement with the Company.

     11. Successors and Binding Agreement.

     (a) The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of
the Company, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Executive, to assume and
agree to perform this Agreement.

     (b) This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and any successor of or to the

Attachment 4-13

 

Company, including, without limitation, any person acquiring directly or indirectly all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company whether by merger, consolidation, sale or
otherwise (and such successor shall thereafter be deemed the “Company” for the purposes of
this Agreement), but shall not otherwise be assignable by the Company.

     (c) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive and
Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs,
distributees, devisees and legatees. If Executive should die while any amounts would still be
payable to Executive pursuant to Sections 5 and 6 hereunder if Executive had continued to
live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement to Executive’s devisee, legatee, or other designee or, if there
be no such designee, to Executive’s estate.

     12. Notices. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications
provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when
delivered or mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid,
addressed to the respective addresses set forth on the first page of this Agreement, provided that
all notices to the Company shall be directed to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company with a copy to the Secretary of the Company, or to such other address as either party may
have furnished to the other in writing, except that notices of change of address shall be effective
only upon receipt.

     13. Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without giving effect to
the principles of conflict of laws of such State.

     14. Miscellaneous. No provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived or
discharged, and this Agreement may not be terminated before the end of the Term, unless such
waiver, modification, discharge or termination is agreed to in a writing signed by Executive and
the Company. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto
or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other
party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at
any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or
implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof, have been made by either party which is not set
forth expressly in this Agreement.

     15. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions of this Agreement
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which
shall remain in full force and effect.

     16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same
agreement.

     17. Withholding of Taxes. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this
Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes as shall be required pursuant to any law or

Attachment 4-14

 

government regulation or ruling.

     18. Nonassignability. This Agreement is personal in nature and neither of the parties
hereto shall, without the consent of the other, assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or
obligations hereunder, except as provided in Section 11 above. Without limiting the foregoing,
Executive’s right to receive payments hereunder shall not be assignable or transferable, whether by
pledge, creation of a security interest or otherwise, other than by a transfer by Executive’s
will or by the laws of descent and distribution and in the event of any attempted assignment or
transfer contrary to this Section 18 the Company shall have no liability to pay any amounts so
attempted to be assigned or transferred.

     19. Legal Fees and Expenses. If a Change in Control shall have occurred, thereafter
the Company shall pay and be solely responsible for any and all attorneys’ and related fees and
expenses incurred by Executive to successfully (in whole or in part and whether by modification of
the Company’s position, agreement, compromise, settlement, or administrative or judicial
determination) enforce this Agreement or any provision hereof or as a result of the Company or any
Shareholder of the Company contesting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any
provision hereof. To secure the foregoing obligation, the Company shall, within 90 days after being
requested by Executive to do so, enter into a contract with an insurance company, open a letter of
credit or establish an escrow in a form satisfactory to Executive. Notwithstanding the provisions
of this Section 19 to the contrary, in no event shall any payments made to Executive under this
Section 19 be made for expenses incurred by Executive following the end of the second calendar year
following the calendar year in which Executive’s Date of Termination occurs, provided that the
period during which reimbursement for such expenses may be made may extend to the end of the third
calendar year in which Executive’s Date of Termination occurs.

     20. Employment Rights. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement shall create any
right or duty on Executive’s part or on the part of the Company to have Executive remain in the
employment of the Company prior to the commencement of the Period of Employment; provided, however,
that any termination or purported termination of Executive’s employment by the Company without
Cause, or termination of Executive’s employment by Executive under circumstances that would
constitute Good Reason had a Change in Control occurred, in either case following the commencement
of any discussion with a third party, or the announcement by a third party of the commencement of,
or the intention to commence a tender offer, or other intention to acquire all or a portion of the
equity securities of the Company that ultimately results in a Change in Control shall be deemed to
be a termination of Executive’s employment after a Change in Control for purposes of (i) this
Agreement and both the Period of Employment and the Payment Period shall be deemed to have begun on
the day prior to such termination and (ii) the Company’s Equity Compensation Plan as if the Change
in Control had occurred on the day prior to such termination (resulting in the full vesting and
extended exercisability of the Executive’s outstanding stock options under, and in accordance with,
the provisions of the Equity Compensation Plan).

     21. Right of Setoff. There shall be no right of setoff or counterclaim against, or
delay in, any payment by the Company to Executive or Executive’s designated beneficiary or
beneficiaries provided for in this Agreement in respect of any claim against Executive or any debt
or obligation owed by Executive, whether arising hereunder or otherwise.

Attachment 4-15

 

     22. Rights to Other Benefits. The existence of the Agreement and Executive’s rights
hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, Executive’s rights under any other of the
Company’s compensation and benefit plans and programs, and under any other contract or agreement
between Executive and the Company.

     23. Prior Agreements. This Agreement supersedes and replaces any and all prior
agreements and understandings between the Company and the Executive with respect to the subject
matter hereof. Any such prior agreements and understandings are no longer in force or effect.

     24. Compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Any payments under
this Agreement that are deemed to be deferred compensation subject to the requirements of Section
409A (“Section 409A”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, are intended to comply with
the requirements of Section 409A. To this end and notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, if at the time of Executive’s termination of employment with the
Company, (i) the Company’s securities are publicly traded on an established securities market; (ii)
Executive is a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A); and (iii) the deferral of the
commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement as a result
of such termination of employment is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional
tax under Section 409A, then the Company will defer the commencement of such payments (without any
reduction in amount ultimately paid or provided to Executive) that are not paid within the
short-term deferral rule under Section 409A (and any regulations thereunder) or within the
“involuntary separation” exemption of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii). Such deferral
shall last until the date that is six (6) months following Executive’s termination of employment
with the Company (or the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A). Any amounts the
payment of which are so deferred shall be paid in a lump sum payment within ten (10) days after the
end of such deferral period. If Executive dies during the deferral period prior to the payment of
any deferred amount, then the unpaid deferred amount shall be paid to the personal representative
of Executive’s estate within sixty (60) days after the date of Executive’s death. For purposes of
Section 409A, the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated
as a right to a series of separate payments.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as
of the Effective Date.

EXHIBIT 1

     A. If as of Executive’s Date of Termination Executive’s years of continuous service under the
applicable retirement plans for purposes of determining eligibility for normal or early retirement
plus the length of Executive’s Payment Period is at least 5, then

     1. If as of Executive’s Date of Termination Executive’s age plus the length of
Executive’s Payment Period is at least 65, Executive’s retirement benefit under Section 5(f)
will be calculated as a “normal retirement” benefit to which Executive would have been
entitled under the terms of the retirement plan in which Executive participates had Executive
accumulated benefit service under the retirement plan that included the Payment Period; and

     2. If as of Executive’s Date of Termination Executive’s age plus the length of
Executive’s Payment Period is at least 55 but less than 65, Executive’s retirement benefit
under Section 5(f) will be calculated as an “early retirement” benefit to which Executive
would have been entitled under the terms of the retirement plan in which Executive
participates had Executive accumulated benefit service under the retirement plan that
included the Payment Period. The actuarial reduction used shall be the actuarial reduction
factor for early retirement, calculated to Executive’s actual age plus the length of
Executive’s Payment Period, at Executive’s Date of Termination.

     B. If as of Executive’s Date of Termination the sum of Executive’s years of continuous service
under the applicable retirement plans for purposes of determining eligibility for normal or early
retirement plus the length of Executive’s Payment Period is less than 5, or Executive’s age plus
the length of Executive’s Payment Period is less than 55, Executive’s retirement benefit under
Section 5(f) will be calculated as a “deferred vested pension” to which Executive would have been
entitled under the terms of the retirement plans in which Executive participates had Executive
accumulated benefit service under the retirement plan that included the Payment Period. The
actuarial reduction used shall be the actuarial reduction factor for a deferred vested pension,
calculated to Executive’s actual age at Executive’s Date of Termination plus the length of
Executive’s Payment Period.

     C. For purposes of Section 5(f), “actuarial equivalent” shall be determined using the same
methods and assumptions as those utilized under the Company’s retirement plans and programs
immediately prior to the Change in Control.

Eligibility

A Senior Officer is eligible to receive severance benefits under this Plan if the Senior Officer
experiences a Qualifying Termination and signs and does not revoke a release and waiver of claims.
If the Senior Officer is covered by a management continuity agreement or a change-of-control
agreement and becomes entitled to payments or benefits thereunder, no benefits shall be payable
under this Plan.

ARTICLE III

Severance Benefits Provided By The Plan

An eligible Senior Officer shall be afforded Base Salary, Benefit Continuation and a pro-rata bonus
payment as set forth below.

	 	 	 
	Benefits Schedule
	 	 
	Job Title

	 	Base Salary and
Benefit Continuation Period
	 
	 	 
	President & Chief Executive Officer

	 	     24 months of Base Salary and

     Benefit Continuation
	 
	 	 
	Chief Operating Officer, Executive Vice
Presidents, Senior Vice Presidents,
Corporate Vice Presidents and Division
Presidents

	 	     12 months of Base Salary and

     Benefit Continuation

A. Base Salary.

A Senior Officer who experiences a Qualifying Termination shall be entitled to receive his or her
Base Salary during the period set forth above. The Administrator has the sole and exclusive
discretion to pay this amount: (i) in the form of salary continuation payments distributed on
normal payroll dates in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices for the Benefit
Continuation Period or (ii) in a lump sum, which lump sum shall be payable no later than March 15
of the year following termination of the Senior Officer’s employment.

Provided, further, that if the total severance benefits payable hereunder to the Senior Officer
exceed two (2) times the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan
pursuant to I.R.C. § 401(a)(17), as provided in 26 C.F.R. § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(2), such
benefits shall be payable in a lump sum no later than March 15 of the year following termination
of the Senior Officer’s employment.

B. Benefit Continuation.

A Senior Officer who experiences a Qualifying Termination shall be entitled to receive medical and
dental coverage, Company-paid life insurance coverage, an extended stock option exercise period and
outplacement services according to the terms set forth below. In order to be eligible to receive
continued medical and dental coverage, as well as Company-paid life insurance, the Senior Officer

Attachment 5-5 

 

must have been the recipient of such benefits immediately prior to the Senior Officer’s Qualifying
Termination. The components of Benefit Continuation are as follows:

	 	1.	 	Medical and Dental Coverage. Subject to (i) the Senior Officer’s timely election
of continuation coverage under COBRA; and (ii) the Senior Officer’s continued co-payment
of premiums at the same level and cost to the Senior Officer as if the Senior Officer
were an employee of the Company (excluding, for purposes of calculating cost, an
employee’s ability to pay premiums with pre-tax dollars), the Company shall pay the
applicable COBRA continuation coverage premiums under the Company’s health and dental
plans applicable to the Senior Officer. These payments shall continue until the sooner
of: (a) the end of the Benefit Continuation Period; (b) the date the Senior Officer
ceases to be eligible for COBRA or (c) the date the Senior Officer commences other
employment that offers a health care program. If a Senior Officer or any of his or her
dependents cease to be eligible for COBRA, the Company’s obligation to pay any premium
for such person shall cease, but the Company’s obligation to pay the premium for the
Senior Officer or any dependent who is still eligible for COBRA shall continue. The
Senior Officer shall promptly notify the Company if he or she commences other employment
that offers a health care program.
	 
	 	 	 	With respect to the President and Chief Executive Officer, and provided there has been
a timely election of COBRA and payment of premiums as provided above, the Company
shall pay for comparable medical and dental coverage from the end of the COBRA
continuation period until the earlier of: (i) 24 months after the President and Chief
Executive Officer’s termination date; (ii) the date on which the President and Chief
Executive Officer obtains employment that offers a health care program or (iii) the
date on which the President and Chief Executive Officer becomes eligible for Medicare.
During such period, the President and Chief Executive Officer shall continue to be
responsible for payment of premiums at the same level and cost that he or she would
have paid for health and dental coverage had he or she remained an active employee of
the Company. Provided, however, that if the monthly cost of the comparable medical
and dental coverage for such period exceeds the Prior Health Costs, the Company — in
lieu of such payment — shall be permitted to pay directly to the President and Chief
Executive Officer, on a monthly basis, an amount equal to the Prior Health Costs for
such period.
	 
	 	2.	 	Company-Paid Life Insurance Coverage. If the Senior Officer had Company-paid
life insurance coverage at the time of the Senior Officer’s Qualifying Termination, the
Company shall continue such coverage during the Senior Officer’s Benefit Continuation
Period. The amount of Company-paid life insurance coverage that the Company shall
continue for the Senior Officer shall be the amount of Company-paid life insurance
coverage that the Senior Officer had at the time of the Senior Officer’s Qualifying
Termination, and the Senior Officer shall continue to contribute for such coverage as if
he or she had continued as an active employee of the Company. The Senior Officer’s
Company-paid life insurance shall end when the Senior Officer becomes employed by a new
employer which offers life insurance benefits to its employees. The foregoing shall not
apply to any life insurance policies that may be used to fund the Company’s retirement
obligations to the Senior Officer, portions of which policies may be transferred

Attachment 5-6 

 

	 	 	 	to the Senior Officer from time to time in accordance with such written agreements as
may be in effect at the time of transfer.
	 
	 	3.	 	Stock Option Exercisability. Notwithstanding any provision of the Company’s 2002
Equity Compensation Plan (or any comparable equity award plan of the Company) or any
applicable award agreement thereunder to the contrary, the Senior Officer may exercise
any of the Senior Officer’s stock options that are vested as of the date of the Senior
Officer’s Qualifying Termination at any time during the Benefit Continuation Period (but
not exceeding the original expiration date of the options).
	 
	 	4.	 	Outplacement Services. The Company shall provide the Senior Officer with
outplacement services during the Benefit Continuation Period in a form, manner and with
a scope and level of benefits determined in the Administrator’s discretion.

Attachment 5-7 

 

C. Pro-rata Bonus.

A Senior Officer who experiences a Qualifying Termination shall be entitled to receive a pro-rata
portion of the Senior Officer’s Annual Incentive Amount (based upon the period of time from the
beginning of the applicable performance period through the Senior Officer’s termination date) in a
lump sum cash payment made no later than March 15 of the year following termination of the Senior
Officer’s employment.

	D.	 	Pro-rata LTIP Award.

A Senior Officer who experiences a Qualifying Termination shall be entitled to receive a pro-rata
portion of the award amount that would have been paid to the Senior Officer under the LTIP Plan.
This amount shall equal the product of (i) the Months of Service divided by the total number of
months in the given Performance Period and (ii) the LTIP Amount, less (iii) any Interim
LTIP Payment paid or payable to the Senior Officer. This pro-rata portion shall be paid in a lump
sum as soon as practicable following the Compensation Committee’s certification of performance for
the Performance Period, but no earlier than six months following the Senior Officer’s termination
if the Senior Officer is a “specified employee” as defined in I.R.C. § 409A.

	E.	 	Conditions.

	 	1.	 	Releases and Waivers of Claims. Any amounts payable under, or benefits provided
pursuant to, this Plan shall be payable or provided only if the Senior Officer delivers
to the Company and does not revoke a general release of all claims of any kind
whatsoever that the Senior Officer has or may have against the Company and its officers,
directors and employees, whether known or unknown, as of the date of the Senior
Officer’s termination of employment, in such form as reasonably requested by the
Company.
	 
	 	2.	 	Cooperation. As a condition to the receipt of any severance benefits hereunder,
the Senior Officer shall be deemed to have agreed to the provisions of this Article
III.E(2). Upon the receipt of reasonable notice from the Company (including its outside
counsel), the Senior Officer agrees that during the Benefit Continuation Period, the
Senior Officer will respond and provide information with regard to matters concerning
which the Senior Officer has knowledge as a result of the Senior Officer’s employment
with the Company, and will provide reasonable assistance to the Company and its
respective representatives in defense of any claims that may be made against the Company
to the extent that such claims may relate to the period of the Senior Officer’s
employment. The Senior Officer also agrees to inform the Company promptly (to the
extent the Senior Officer is legally permitted to do so) if the Senior Officer is asked
to assist in any investigation of or claim asserted against the Company. Upon
presentation of appropriate documentation, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Senior
Officer for all reasonable out-of-pocket travel, duplicating or telephonic expenses
incurred by the Senior Officer in complying with this section.
	 
	 	3.	 	Re-employment. If during the Senior Officer’s Benefit Continuation Period, the
Senior Officer becomes re-employed with the Company, all benefits provided to the Senior

Attachment 5-8 

 

	 	 	 	Officer hereunder shall terminate. Upon such termination, the Senior Officer shall be
permitted to retain any lump sum amounts paid to him or her hereunder before becoming
reemployed.
	 
	 	4.	 	Confidentiality and Noncompetition Compliance. If the Administrator determines
that the Senior Officer has breached any duty of confidentiality, non-solicitation or
non-competition the Senior Officer owes to the Company, the Senior Officer shall forfeit
all further benefits payable to the Senior Officer under this Plan and shall, at the
Administrator’s direction, be required to repay to the Company any benefits the Senior
Officer received from the Company under this Plan. In such case, the Administrator may
offset any such repayment against any other amounts that the Company owes to the Senior
Officer.

ARTICLE IV

Plan Administration

This Plan shall be administered by the Administrator on behalf of the Company (as plan
administrator under Section 3(16)(A) of ERISA). In that regard, the Administrator shall be
empowered and shall have full discretion to interpret all provisions of this Plan, make all
eligibility decisions and to perform all of the duties and powers granted to it under the terms of
this Plan. The Administrator may adopt such rules and regulations for the administration of this
Plan as are consistent with the terms hereof and shall keep adequate records of its proceedings and
acts. All interpretations and decisions made (both as to law and fact) and other action taken by
the Administrator with respect to this Plan shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties having
or claiming to have an interest under this Plan. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the
Administrator shall have full discretionary authority to decide any factual or interpretative
issues that may arise in connection with its administration of this Plan (including without
limitation any determination as to eligibility and the amount of benefits payable under this Plan),
and the Administrator’s exercise of such discretionary authority shall be conclusive and binding on
all affected parties as long as it is not determined by a court of law to be arbitrary and
capricious. The Administrator may delegate any of the Administrator’s duties and powers hereunder
to the extent permitted by applicable law.

ARTICLE V

Claims And Appeals Procedure

A. A Claimant shall have the right to submit a claim for benefits under the Plan and to appeal any
denial of a claim for benefits. Any request for a Plan benefit or to clarify the Claimant’s rights
to future benefits under the terms of the Plan shall be considered to be a claim. (However, this
claims procedure does not govern casual inquiries about benefits or the circumstances under which
benefits might be paid under the terms of the Plan, nor does it govern a request for a
determination regarding eligibility for coverage except such a determination as is requested or
necessary in connection with a claim for benefits.) An authorized representative of the Claimant
may act on behalf of the Claimant in pursuing a benefit claim or appeal of an Adverse Benefit
Determination. The individual or individuals responsible for deciding the benefit claim or appeal,
as applicable, may require the representative to provide reasonable written proof that the
representative has in fact been authorized to act on behalf of

Attachment 5-9 

 

the Claimant. The Plan requires no fee or other cost for the making of a claim or appealing an
Adverse Benefit Determination.

B. A claim for benefits will be considered as having been made when submitted in writing by the
Claimant to the Administrator, in care of:

EnPro Industries, Inc.

Attn: Senior Vice President — Human Resources (Severance Claim)

5605 Carnegie Blvd., Suite 500

Charlotte, NC 28209

	 	 	Any claim should include the following:

Claimant’s name, address, telephone number, and social security number.

Claimant’s dates of employment with the Company.

Claimant’s job title and position with Company.

The reasons for Claimant’s termination of employment; and

A
statement of the reasons why Claimant is entitled to severance benefits under the Plan.

C. The Administrator will determine whether, or to what extent, the claim may be allowed or denied
under the terms of the Plan. If the claim is wholly or partially denied, the Administrator shall
notify the Claimant of the Plan’s Adverse Benefit Determination within a reasonable period of time,
but not later than 90 days after the Administrator receives the claim, unless the Administrator
determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim.

     If such an extension of time for processing is required, written notice of the extension shall
be furnished to the Claimant prior to the termination of the initial 90-day period. Such extension
may not exceed an additional 90 days from the end of the initial 90-day period. The extension
notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by
which the Administrator expects to render the final decision.

     For the purposes of this Article V.C, the period of time within which a benefit determination
is required to be made shall begin at the time a claim is filed in accordance with the Plan’s
filing requirements, without regard to whether all the information necessary to make a benefit
determination accompanies the filing.

D. The Administrator shall provide the Claimant with written or electronic notification of any
Adverse Benefit Determination. Any electronic notification shall comply with the standards imposed
by 29 CFR § 2520.104b-1(c)(i), (iii) and (iv). The notification shall set forth, in a manner
calculated to be understood by the Claimant:

	 	1.	 	The specific reason(s) for the Adverse Benefit Determination;

Attachment 5-10 

 

	 	2.	 	Reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the determination is based;
	 
	 	3.	 	A description of any additional material or information necessary for the
Claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is
necessary; and
	 
	 	4.	 	A description of the Plan’s appeal (review) procedures and the time limits
applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a
civil action under ERISA § 502(a) following an Adverse Benefit Determination on appeal.

E. The Claimant may appeal an Adverse Benefit Determination to the Administrator. The
Administrator shall conduct a full and fair review of each appealed claim and its denial. The
Claimant shall have at least 60 days following receipt of a notification of an Adverse Benefit
Determination within which to appeal the determination.

F. The appeal of an Adverse Benefit Determination must be made in writing. In connection with
making such request, the Claimant may submit written comments, documents, records, and other
information relating to the claim for benefits. Upon written request, the Claimant shall be
provided, free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other
information relevant (as defined in Article V.J below) to the Claimant’s claim for benefits. In
considering the appeal the Administrator shall take into account all comments, documents, records,
and other information submitted by the Claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether
such information was submitted or considered in connection with the initial benefit determination.

	 	1.	 	General procedure. The Administrator shall notify a Claimant of the
Administrator’s benefit determination upon appeal within a reasonable period of time,
but not later than 60 days after receipt of the Claimant’s appeal. However, the
Administrator may determine that special circumstances (such as the need to hold a
hearing) require an extension of time for processing the claim. If the Administrator
determines that an extension of time, not to exceed 60 days, for processing is required,
written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the Claimant prior to the
termination of the initial 60-day period. The extension notice shall indicate the
special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the
Administrator expects to render the determination on appeal.
	 
	 	2.	 	Calculating time periods. For the purposes of this Article V.F, the period of
time within which a benefit determination on appeal is required to be made shall begin
at the time an appeal is filed in accordance with the Plan’s appeal filing requirements,
without regard to whether all the information necessary to make a benefit determination
on appeal accompanies the filing. In the event that a period of time is extended as
provided above for the determination of a claim on appeal due to a Claimant’s failure to
submit information necessary to decide an appeal of an Adverse Benefit Determination,
the period for making the benefit determination on appeal shall be tolled from the date
on which the notification of the extension is sent to the Claimant until the date on
which the Claimant responds to the request for additional information.

Attachment 5-11 

 

	 	3.	 	Furnishing documents. In the case of an Adverse Benefit Determination on appeal,
the Administrator shall provide such access to, and copies of, documents, records, and
other information described in subsections G(3) and (4) below as is appropriate.

G. The Administrator shall provide a Claimant with written or electronic notification of the
benefit determination on appeal. Any electronic notification shall comply with the standards
imposed by 29 CFR § 2520.104b-1(c)(i), (iii) and (iv). In the case of an Adverse Benefit
Determination on appeal, the notification shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood
by the Claimant:

	 	1.	 	The specific reason(s) for the Adverse Benefit Determination;
	 
	 	2.	 	Reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the benefit determination is
based;
	 
	 	3.	 	A statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of
charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other
information relevant (as defined in Article V.J below) to the Claimant’s claim for
benefits; and
	 
	 	4.	 	A statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA § 502(a).

H. A Claimant must exhaust his or her rights to file a claim and to appeal an Adverse Benefit
Determination before bringing any civil action to recover benefits due to him under the terms of
the Plan, to enforce his or her rights under the terms of the Plan, or to clarify his or her rights
to future benefits under the terms of the Plan.

I. Benefit claim determinations and decisions on appeals shall be made in accordance with governing
Plan documents. The Plan’s provisions shall be applied consistently with respect to similarly
situated claimants. The Administrator shall maintain complete records of its proceedings in
deciding claims and appeals. The Administrator shall maintain its records in a manner that permits
it to refer, and it shall so refer, to prior decisions to ensure that the Plan’s provisions are
applied consistently with respect to similarly situated claimants.

J. For the purposes of this Claims and Appeal Procedure, a document, record, or other information
shall be considered “relevant” to a Claimant’s claim if such document, record, or other information
(i) was relied upon in making the benefit determination; (ii) was submitted, considered, or
generated in the course of making the benefit determination, without regard to whether such
document, record, or other information was relied upon in making the benefit determination; or
(iii) demonstrates compliance with the administrative processes and safeguards required pursuant to
Article V.I above in making the benefit determination.

ARTICLE VI

Miscellaneous

A. Benefits Unfunded.

Attachment 5-12 

 

This Plan shall at all times be entirely unfunded and no provision shall at any time be made with
respect to segregating assets, accounts or funds of the Company for payment of any benefits under
this Plan. No Senior Officer shall have any interest in any particular asset, account or fund of
the Company by reason of the right to receive benefits under this Plan and any such Senior Officer
shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to any
rights under this Plan. This Plan constitutes an unfunded compensation arrangement for members of
a select group of the Company’s management, and any exemptions under ERISA, as applicable to such
arrangement, shall be applicable to the Plan.

B. Exclusion of Payments from Plan Compensation.

No payments or benefits provided under this Plan shall be considered compensation or earnings under
any pension, savings or retirement plan sponsored by the Company, and shall not be eligible for any
matching contribution, deferral or the like provided by any benefit plan sponsored by the Company.

C. Non-Exclusivity of Rights.

This Plan shall not prevent or limit the right of a Senior Officer to receive any base salary,
pension or welfare benefit, bonus or other payment provided by the Company to the Senior Officer,
except for such rights as the Senior Officer may have specifically waived in writing or as
otherwise expressly set forth in this Plan. Amounts that are vested benefits or which the Senior
Officer is otherwise entitled to receive under any other employee benefit plan or program provided
by the Company shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such plan or program. Any award
that becomes vested in connection with a Change in Control that occurs prior to a Qualifying
Termination shall be payable in accordance with the written agreement pursuant to which such award
was granted.

D. Taxation.

All benefits provided under this Plan shall be subject to applicable federal, state and local
payroll and withholding taxes. The Company shall have the right to make such provisions as it
deems necessary or appropriate to satisfy any obligations it may have to withhold federal, state or
local income or other taxes incurred by reason of payments pursuant to this Plan.

E. Non-Alienation.

No interest of the Senior Officer, or right to receive any payment under this Plan, shall be
subject in any manner to sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, attachment, garnishment, or other
alienation or encumbrance of any kind, nor may such interest or right be taken, voluntarily or
involuntarily, for the satisfaction of the obligations or debts of, or other claims against, the
Senior Officer or the Senior Officer’s spouse or beneficiary, including claims for alimony,
support, separate maintenance, and claims in bankruptcy proceedings.

F. No Employment Contract.

Attachment 5-13 

 

Nothing contained in this Plan shall confer upon any Senior Officer the right to be retained in the
service of the Company nor limit the right of the Company to discharge or otherwise discipline any
Senior Officer or modify the terms and conditions of his or her employment.

G. Successors.

For purposes of this Plan, the “Company” shall include any and all successors and assignees,
whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, to all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the Company and such successors and assignees shall
perform the Company’s obligations under this Plan, in the same manner and to the same extent that
the Company would be required to perform if no such succession or assignment had taken place.

H. Severability.

In the event any provision of this Plan is held illegal or invalid, the remaining provisions of
this Plan shall not be affected thereby, unless such determination shall render impossible or
impracticable the functioning of this Plan and in such case, an appropriate provision or provisions
shall be adopted, in the discretion of the Administrator, so that this Plan may continue to
function properly.

I. Modification or Rescission of Plan.

The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate, in whole or in part, any or all of the
provisions of the Plan at any time. Any such amendment shall be effective only if contained in a
written instrument adopted by resolution of the Administrator or the Board. Notwithstanding
anything in this Plan to the contrary, if the Company becomes obligated to make any payment to any
Senior Officer hereunder, then this Plan shall remain in effect for such purposes until all of the
Company’s obligations to such Senior Officer hereunder shall be fulfilled.

Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if there is a Change in Control, then for a
period of two (2) years following the Change in Control, this Plan may not be modified or rescinded
in any way that adversely affects the rights of persons who are eligible Senior Officers on the day
before the Change in Control.

J. Entire Agreement.

Except as specified herein, and in any management continuity agreement or change-in-control
agreement, this Plan sets forth the entire obligations of the Company with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes all existing severance plans, agreements and understandings (whether
oral or written) between the Company and Senior Officers with respect to the subject matter herein.

Attachment 5-14 

 

K. Applicable Law.

This Plan shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or, if not preempted, the substantive laws of the State of
North Carolina (without giving effect to choice-of-law provisions).

Attachment 5-15EX-10.1 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

Exhibit 10.1

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

          EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) dated as of March 10, 2008 by and between BlueLinx
Corporation (the “Company”) and Howard Cohen (the “Executive”) (each a “Party” and together, the
“Parties”).

          WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company wish to establish the terms of the Executive’s services
for the Company;

          Accordingly, the Parties agree as follows:

          1. Employment and Acceptance. The Company shall employ the Executive, and the
Executive shall accept employment, subject to the terms of this Agreement, on March 10, 2008 (the
“Effective Date”).

          2. Term.

               2.1 Employment Term. This Agreement and the employment relationship hereunder will
continue from the Effective Date until terminated by either Party pursuant to Section 2.2 or
Section 5 (the “Employment Term”); provided, however that either Party may terminate this Agreement
at any time by providing thirty days advance written notice of such termination. Such notification
and termination will not be considered a breach of this Agreement.

               2.2 Service as Director. At any time during the Employment Term, the Board of
Directors of BlueLinx Holdings Inc. (the “Board”) may require that the Executive step down as
Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “Interim CEO”) upon an effective date specified
by the Board, but continue as Chairman of the Board. In the event of such request, the Employment
Term shall be deemed terminated on such effective date. The Executive shall continue to serve as
the Chairman of the Board until the Executive resigns or is removed by the Board. Following the
Employment Term, the Executive shall cease to be an employee of the Company and shall not be
entitled to any compensation or employee benefits from the Company or any of its affiliates or
subsidiaries, except the Equity Awards provided under 4.1(c) of this Agreement.

          3. Duties and Title.

               3.1 Title. During the Employment Term, the Company shall employ the Executive to
render exclusive and full-time services to the Company and certain designated subsidiaries and
affiliates. During the Employment Term, the Executive will serve in the capacity of Chairman of
the Board and Interim CEO of the Company.

               3.2 Duties. During the Employment Term, the Executive will have such authority and
responsibilities and will perform such executive duties as are customarily

 

 

performed by the Chairman and chief executive officer of businesses similar to those of the
Company or assigned to Executive by the Company. During the Employment Term, Executive shall
devote Executive’s reasonable best efforts and Executive’s full professional time and attention
(except for permitted vacation periods and reasonable periods of illness or other incapacity) to
the business and affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates. Executive shall
perform Executive’s duties and responsibilities to the best of Executive’s abilities in a diligent,
trustworthy and business-like manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Employment Term,
Executive may continue to serve on the board of directors of Albertson’s LLC, Hilco Receivables
LLC, and Hawk Acquisitions, LLC and may also render charitable and civic services so long as such services
do not materially interfere with Executive’s ability to discharge his duties hereunder.

          4. Compensation by the Company

               4.1 Compensation During the Employment Term. As compensation for all services
rendered pursuant to this Agreement during the Employment Term, the Company shall provide the
Executive the following:

               (a) Base Salary. The Company will pay to the Executive an annualized base
salary of not less than $750,000 payable in accordance with the customary payroll practices
of the Company (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary shall be reviewed from time to time and
adjusted as appropriate at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board
(the “Compensation Committee”).

               (b) Annual Bonus. Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus, with
a threshold of 37.5% of Base Salary (i.e., 37.5% upon achievement of annual “threshold”
performance goals), an annual bonus target of 75% of Base Salary (i.e., 75% upon achievement
of annual “target” performance goals) and a maximum of 150% of Base Salary (i.e., 150% upon
achievement of annual “maximum” performance goals), with the “threshold, “target” and
“maximum” based upon satisfaction of performance goals and bonus criteria to be defined and
approved by the Compensation Committee in advance for each fiscal year. The Company shall
pay any such annual bonus earned to Executive in accordance with the terms of the applicable
bonus plan. Executive shall also be eligible to participate in the Executive Team Quarterly
Cash Flow Bonus at the same rate as the prior chief executive officer.

               (c) Long-Term Incentives. Subject to the terms of the 2006 Long-Term Incentive
Plan or the 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plans”) and award agreements between
the Company and the Executive (the “Award Agreements”), the Company shall grant to the
Executive a stock option to purchase 750,000 shares of the Company (the “Stock Option”) and
750,000 Restricted Shares of the Company (the “Restricted Shares” and together with the
Stock Option, the “Equity Awards”). The Equity Awards shall be granted as soon as
practicable following the Effective Date, (the “Equity Grant Date”). The Stock Option shall
have an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of a share of common stock
on the Equity Grant Date. Notwithstanding the terms of the Equity Plans and the Award
Agreements, the Equity Awards shall be subject to the following terms:

2

 

                    (i) The Equity Awards shall vest with respect to one-third of the shares subject to the
Award on the first anniversary of the Equity Grant Date and with respect to an additional
one-third of the shares on each of the next two anniversaries thereafter, subject to the
Executive’s continued service as the Chairman and/or Interim CEO with the Company and its
affiliates.

                    (ii) If the Executive’s service as Chairman and Interim CEO is terminated by the
Company for Cause (as defined below) or the Executive resigns for any reason, the unvested
portion of the Equity Awards will be forfeited. If the Executive’s service as Chairman and
Interim CEO is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined below), other than a termination of Executive's employment as Interim CEO pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement, or due to the Executive’s death or
Disability (as defined below), the Equity Awards shall vest with respect to 100% of the
shares subject to the Equity Awards.

                    (iii) “Cause” means, as determined by the Board in good faith: (A) a material
breach of the duties and responsibilities of Executive; (B) Executive’s (x) commission of a
felony or (y) commission of any misdemeanor involving willful misconduct (other than minor
violations such as traffic violations) if such misdemeanor causes material damage to the
property, business or reputation of the Company; (C) acts of dishonesty by Executive
resulting or intending to result in personal gain or enrichment at the expense of the
Company or its subsidiaries and affiliates; (D) Executive’s material breach of any provision
of this Agreement; (E) Executive’s failure to follow the lawful written directions of the
Board; (F) conduct by Executive in connection with his duties hereunder that is fraudulent,
unlawful or willful and materially injurious to the Company or its subsidiaries and
affiliates; (G) Executive’s engagement in habitual insobriety or the use of illegal drugs
or substances; (H) Executive’s failure to cooperate fully, or failure to direct the persons
under Executive’s management or direction, or employed by, or consultants or agents to, the
Company (or its subsidiaries and affiliates) to cooperate fully, with all corporate
investigations or independent investigations by the Board, all governmental investigations
of the Company or its subsidiaries and affiliates, and all orders involving Executive or the
Company (or its subsidiaries and affiliates) entered by a court of competent jurisdiction;
(I) Executive’s material violation of the Company’s Code of Conduct (including as applicable
to senior financial officers), or any successor codes; (J) Executive’s engagement in
activities prohibited by Section 6.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no termination of the Executive’s service shall be for
“Cause” until (i) there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a written
notice setting forth the basis for such termination in reasonable detail, and (ii) the
Executive shall have been provided an opportunity to be heard in person by the Board (with
the assistance of the Executive’s counsel if the Executive so desires). No act, or failure
to act, on the Executive’s part shall be considered “willful” unless the Executive has acted
or failed to act with a lack of good faith and with a lack of reasonable belief that the
Executive’s action or failure to act was in the best interests of the Company. Any act, or
failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the
Board or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to
be done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of
the Company. Any termination of the Executive’s service by the Company

3

 

hereunder shall be deemed to be a termination other than for Cause unless it meets all
requirements of this Section 4.1(c)(iv).

                    (iv) “Disability” means the determination by the Company, in accordance with
applicable law, based on information provided by a physician selected by the Company or its
insurers and reasonably acceptable to Executive or Executive’s legal representative that, as
a result of a physical or mental injury or illness, Executive has been unable to perform the
essential functions of his job with or without reasonable accommodation for a period of (i)
90 consecutive days or (ii) 180 days in any one-year period.

               (d) Participation in Employee Benefit Plans. Executive is entitled during the
Employment Term to participate, on the same basis as the Company’s other senior executives,
in the Company’s Standard Executive Benefits Package. The Company’s “Standard Executive
Benefits Package” means those benefits (including insurance, vacation and other
benefits, but excluding, except as hereinafter provided in paragraph 6, any severance pay
program or policy of the Company) for which substantially all of the executives of the
Company are from time to time generally eligible, as determined from time to time by the
Board.

               (e) Expense Reimbursement. The Company shall reimburse Executive for all
reasonable expenses incurred by Executive during the Employment Term in the course of
performing Executive’s duties under this Agreement in accordance with the Company’s policies
in effect from time to time with respect to travel, entertainment and other business
expenses, and subject to the Company’s requirements applicable generally with respect to
reporting and documentation of such expenses. In addition, the Company will reimburse the
Executive (on a tax neutral gross up basis) for any reasonable business expenses incurred by
the Executive, in connection with (x) traveling to and from the Executive’s residence in
Chicago, Illinois or West Palm Beach, Florida to the Company’s headquarters in Atlanta,
Georgia and (y) lodging in Atlanta, Georgia. The amount of expenses eligible for
reimbursement during the Executive’s taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for
reimbursement in any other taxable year. The tax gross-up payment shall be made by the end
of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the Executive remits the
related taxes. In order to be entitled to expense reimbursement, the Executive must be
employed as Interim CEO on the date the Executive incurred the expense.

               (f) Reimbursement of Legal Expenses. The Company shall reimburse the Executive
for the Executive’s reasonable attorneys’ fees (not to exceed $3,500) incurred in connection
with the negotiation of this Agreement and any other agreements relating to the Executive’s
employment contemplated herein.

          5. Termination of Relationship with the Company

               5.1 Termination of Employment Term. The Employment Term may be terminated: (a) by
the Executive for any reason upon thirty days advance written notice (in which case, the Executive
shall not continue as Chairman of the Board), (b) by the Company pursuant to Section 2.2 of this
Agreement, or (c) due to the Executive’s death or Disability. If the

4

 

Employment Term is terminated pursuant to this Section 5.1, the Executive shall receive the
following:

               (a) a pro rated portion of the annual bonus for the year of termination calculated by
multiplying (x) the annual bonus that would have been payable under Section 4.1(b) if the
Executive remained employed through the end of the fiscal year by (y) a fraction the
numerator of which is the number of days elapsed in such fiscal year prior to the date the
Executive’s employment terminated and the denominator of which is 365, payable on the date
such bonus is paid to other senior executives of the Company;

               (b) a lump sum payment, within 30 days following such termination, equal to the
Executive’s accrued but unpaid Base Salary to the date of termination and any employee
benefits that the Executive is entitled to receive pursuant to the employee benefit plans of
the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of such employee benefit
plans; and

               (c) a lump sum payment, within 30 days following such termination, equal to the
expenses reimbursable under Sections 4.1(e) above incurred but not yet reimbursed to the
Executive to the date of termination.

               5.2 Removal from any Boards and Position. If the Employment Term terminates for any
reason under this Agreement without the Executive continuing as Chairman of the Board, the
Executive shall be deemed to resign (i) if a member, from the Board or board of directors of any
subsidiary or affiliate of the Company or any other board to which he has been appointed or
nominated by or on behalf of the Company and (ii) from any position with the Company or any
subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, including, but not limited to, as an officer of the Company
and any of its subsidiaries.

          6. Restrictions and Obligations of the Executive.

               6.1 Nondisparagement. The Executive agrees that he will not at any time (whether
during or after the Term) publish or communicate to any person or entity any Disparaging (as
defined below) remarks, comments or statements concerning the Company, its parent, subsidiaries and
affiliates, and their respective present and former members, partners, directors, officers,
shareholders, employees, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns. “Disparaging” remarks,
comments or statements are those that impugn the character, honesty, integrity or morality or
business acumen or abilities in connection with any aspect of the operation of business of the
individual or entity being disparaged.

          6.2 Confidentiality.

               (a) The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all
secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its
subsidiaries and affiliates, and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained
by the Executive during the Executive’s services for the Company or any of its subsidiaries
and affiliates (“Confidential Information”). After termination of the Executive’s services
with the Company, the Executive shall not,

5

 

without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law
or legal process, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone
other than the Company and those designated by it.

               (b) All files, records, documents, drawings, specifications, data, computer programs,
customer or vendor lists, specific customer or vendor information, marketing techniques,
business strategies, contract terms, pricing terms, discounts and management compensation of
the Company or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates, whether prepared by the Executive or
otherwise coming into the Executive’s possession, shall remain the exclusive property of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates, and the Executive shall not remove any
such items from the premises of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates,
except in furtherance of the Executive’s duties.

               (c) It is understood that while providing services to the Company, the Executive will
promptly disclose to the Company, and assign to the Company the Executive’s interest in any
invention, improvement or discovery made or conceived by the Executive, either alone or
jointly with others, which arises out of the Executive’s services. At the Company’s request
and expense, the Executive will reasonably assist the Company or any of its subsidiaries and
affiliates during the period of the Executive’s service to the Company and thereafter in
connection with any controversy or legal proceeding relating to such invention, improvement
or discovery and in obtaining domestic and foreign patent or other protection covering the
same.

               (d) As requested by the Company and at the Company’s expense, from time to time and
upon the termination of the Executive’s service with the Company for any reason, the
Executive will promptly deliver to the Company or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates all
copies and embodiments, in whatever form, of all Confidential Information in the Executive’s
possession or within his control (including, but not limited to, memoranda, records, notes,
plans, photographs, manuals, notebooks, documentation, program listings, flow charts,
magnetic media, disks, diskettes, tapes and all other materials containing any Confidential
Information) irrespective of the location or form of such material. If requested by the
Company, the Executive will provide the Company with written confirmation that all such
materials have been delivered to the Company as provided herein.

          7. Remedies; Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the
Executive’s breach or threatened breach of any of the restrictions set forth in Section 6 will
result in irreparable and continuing damage to the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates for
which there may be no adequate remedy at law and that the Company shall be entitled to equitable
relief, including specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for any such breach or
threatened or attempted breach. The Executive hereby consents to the grant of an injunction
(temporary or otherwise) against the Executive or the entry of any other court order against the
Executive prohibiting and enjoining him from violating, or directing him to comply with any
provision of Section 6. The Executive also agrees that such remedies shall be in addition to any
and all remedies, including damages, available to the Company against him for such breaches or
threatened or attempted breaches.

               8.2 Complete Agreement. This Agreement embodies the complete agreement and
understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and effective as of its
date supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or

7

 

representations by or between the parties, written or oral, that may have related to the
subject matter hereof in any way.

               8.3 Disclosure. During the Executive’s term as Chairman of the Board, the Executive
shall disclose immediately to the Company the existence of any relationship between the Executive
and any other entity that creates or may create a conflict of interest that may affect the
independent professional judgment of the Executive in carrying out his duties under this Agreement.

               8.4 Executive and Company Representations. Executive represents to the Company that
(a) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Executive does not and will not
conflict with, breach, violate or cause a default under any contract, agreement, instrument, order,
judgment or decree to which Executive is a party or by which Executive is bound, (b) Executive is
not a party to or bound by any employment agreement, noncompete agreement or confidentiality
agreement with any other person or entity that would prohibit the Executive from performing his
duties under this Agreement and (c) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Company, this Agreement will be the valid and binding obligation of Executive, enforceable in
accordance with its terms. The Company represents and warrants that it is fully authorized and
empowered to enter into this Agreement and that the performance of its obligations under this
Agreement will not violate any agreement between it and any other person, firm or organization.

               8.5 Waiver and Amendments. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived
only with the prior written consent of the Company and Executive, and no course of conduct or
failure or delay in enforcing the provisions of this Agreement is to affect the validity, binding
effect or enforceability of this Agreement.

               8.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflicts of laws principles, unless superseded
by federal law.

               8.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is to bind and inure to the benefit of and
be enforceable by Executive, the Company and their respective heirs, executors, personal
representatives, successors and assigns, except that neither party may assign any rights or
delegate any obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party. Executive
hereby consents to the assignment by the Company of all of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement to any successor to the Company by merger or consolidation or purchase of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets, provided that the transferee or successor assumes the
Company’s liabilities under this Agreement by agreement in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Executive.

               8.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of
which are to be deemed to be an original and both of which taken together are to constitute one and
the same agreement.

               8.9 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement is to be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any

8

 

respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, that invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability is not to affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement
is to be reformed, construed and enforced in the jurisdiction as if the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

               8.10 Judicial Modification. If any court determines that any of the covenants in
Section 6, or any part of any of them, is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of such covenants
and parts thereof shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without regard to
the invalid portion. If any court determines that any of such covenants, or any part thereof, is
invalid or unenforceable because of the geographic or temporal scope of such provision, such court
shall reduce such scope to the minimum extent necessary to make such covenants valid and
enforceable.

               8.11 Tax Withholding. The Company or other payor is authorized to withhold from any
benefit provided or payment due hereunder, the amount of withholding taxes due any federal, state
or local authority in respect of such benefit or payment and to take such other action as may be
necessary in the opinion of the Board or the Compensation Committee to satisfy all obligations for
the payment of such withholding taxes.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, have executed
this Agreement as of the day and year first above mentioned.
