EMPLOYEE MATTERS AGREEMENT Employee Matters Agreement, dated as of _________________, 2002 (this "AGREEMENT") by and between Goodrich Corporation, a New York corporation, with its principal corporate offices located in Charlotte, North Carolina ("GOODRICH"), and EnPro Industries, Inc., a North Carolina corporation, with its principal corporate offices located in Charlotte, North Carolina. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "ENPRO" shall refer to EnPro Industries, Inc. and all the subsidiaries of EnPro Industries, Inc. on or after the Distribution Date (as defined below) including Coltec Industries Inc ("COLTEC") and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. RECITALS A. The Board of Directors of Goodrich has determined that it is in the best interests of Goodrich and its shareholders to separate Goodrich's engineered industrial products business from its other existing businesses. B. The Board of Directors of Goodrich, after consultation with Goodrich's management and financial and legal advisors, has determined that it is appropriate and in the best interests of Goodrich and the Goodrich Shareholders to divest Goodrich's indirect ownership interest in the EnPro Business, through a pro rata distribution of all of the EnPro Common Stock to the Goodrich Shareholders pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement (the "DISTRIBUTION"). The date of such distribution, for purposes of this Agreement, shall be referred to as the "DISTRIBUTION DATE". C. Goodrich and EnPro are entering into a Distribution Agreement (the "DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT") and other Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Distribution Agreement), including this Agreement, that set forth the matters relating to the relationship and the respective rights and obligations of Goodrich and EnPro to one another following the Distribution. D. In connection with the Distribution, Goodrich and EnPro have agreed to enter into this Agreement for the purpose of allocating responsibilities, liabilities and assets associated with employee compensation, employee benefits and other employment-related matters. AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants and undertakings contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Goodrich and EnPro hereby agree as follows: ARTICLE 1 CONTINUATION OF EMPLOYMENT Section 1.01 Continuation of Employment. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "EIP EMPLOYEES" refers to employees within the Engineered Industrial Products Segment of Goodrich who will become or continue to be employees of EnPro or subsidiaries of EnPro following the Distribution Date as well as those Goodrich corporate employees who have been designated as EnPro employees. EnPro shall not be obligated under this Agreement to continue the employment of any EIP Employee after the Distribution Date. EIP Employees on long-term disability ("LTD") on the Distribution Date shall not become employees of EnPro unless such employee is covered under the plan known as the "Long Term Disability Benefit Plan for Eligible Employees of Garlock Inc" (the "GARLOCK LTD Plan"). Any employee receiving benefits under the Garlock LTD Plan shall remain an employee of Garlock Sealing Technologies LLC or a subsidiary thereof. ARTICLE 2 COLLECTIVE BARGAINING Section 2.01 Collective Bargaining Agreements and Compliance with Local Customs and Law. Effective as of the Distribution Date, EnPro or its subsidiaries shall assume each collective bargaining agreement that relates to any EIP Employees and shall assume all liabilities, responsibilities and obligations, including the obligation to negotiate in good faith with respect to such collective bargaining agreements. EnPro shall continue to observe any foreign national master agreements applicable to any EIP Employees. EnPro shall comply with local customs and legislation relating to employment including staff councils, where required. ARTICLE 3 BENEFIT PLANS Section 3.01 Defined Benefit Pension Plans. (a) Neither EnPro nor any of its subsidiaries shall become sponsoring employers of the following plans which are sponsored by Goodrich: (i) Goodrich Corporation Employees' Pension Plan (the "GOODRICH PLAN"); and (ii) Goodrich Corporation Wage Employees' Pension Plan. 2 (b) Neither Goodrich nor any of its subsidiaries shall become sponsoring employers of the following plans which are sponsored by Coltec or Garlock Sealing Technologies LLC (the "COLTEC PLANS"): (i) Retirement Program for Employees of Coltec Industries Inc and Affiliated Companies (the "COLTEC PENSION PLAN"); (ii) Quincy Division Unit Pension Plan; and (iii) Pension Plan for Hourly Employees of the Garlock Sealing Technologies Division (Palmyra, New York) of Garlock Inc. (c) With respect to any EIP Employee who is a participant in the Goodrich Plan, the Distribution Date shall constitute a termination of employment for purposes of such plan; provided, however, that all such employees shall be deemed vested under such plan on the Distribution Date. The Coltec Pension Plan shall be amended to provide that EIP Employees who are participants in the Goodrich Plan and who do not elect to commence the payment of pension benefits under the Goodrich Plan prior to or on the Distribution Date shall receive credit (for purposes of vesting and benefit determination) for all service and earnings accrued under the Goodrich Plan; provided, however, that the amount payable under the Coltec Plan shall be offset by any amount payable from the Goodrich Plan. The Coltec Pension Plan shall be further amended to provide that EIP Employees who are participants in the Goodrich Plan who elect to commence payment of pension benefits under the Goodrich Plan on or prior to the Distribution Date shall receive credit for service accrued under the Goodrich Plan for vesting purposes, but shall receive no such credit for benefit determination purposes and such participant's benefit under the Coltec Pension Plan shall not be offset by benefits paid under the Goodrich Plan. (d) In December 2001, all liabilities and associated assets relating to current retirees within the Coltec Pension Plan, active employees who will be employed by Goodrich or a subsidiary of Goodrich after the Distribution Date, and former employees who were vested in the Coltec Pension Plan were transferred from the Coltec Pension Plan to the Goodrich Plan. Goodrich shall cause one or more transfers of liabilities and assets between the Goodrich Plan and the Coltec Pension Plan to reflect changes in the employment status of EIP Employees or other employees that participate in these plans that occur between November 2001 and the Distribution Date. Any transfer of assets pursuant to this true-up process shall reflect the termination value of the liabilities; provided, however that such transfer shall comply with Section 414 of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 3.02 Defined Contribution Plans. (a) Neither EnPro nor any of its subsidiaries shall become sponsoring employers of the following plans which are sponsored by Goodrich (the "GOODRICH 401(K) PLANS"): (i) Goodrich Corporation Employees' Savings Plan; 3 (ii) Goodrich Corporation Wage Employees' Savings Plan; and (iii) Goodrich Corporation Savings Plan for Rohr Employees. (b) Neither Goodrich nor any of its subsidiaries shall become sponsoring employers of the following plans which are sponsored by Coltec (the "COLTEC DC PLANS"): (i) Coltec Industries Inc Retirement Savings Plan; and (ii) Coltec Industries Inc Retirement Accumulation Plan. (c) Goodrich shall not have any responsibilities or obligations with respect to the Coltec DC Plans after the Distribution Date. Any participant in the Coltec DC Plans who will not become an EIP Employee shall have their balance transferred to one of the Goodrich 401(k) Plans, depending on their employment status. (d) With respect to any EIP Employee who is a participant in a Goodrich 401(k) Plan, the Distribution Date shall constitute a termination of employment for purposes of such plan and any affected employee shall have the right to take any action authorized by the plan in the event of a termination of employment, including the right to rollover the account balance to the Coltec DC Plans. Section 3.03 Health and Welfare Plans. EnPro shall not assume any employee health and welfare benefit plans of Goodrich but, instead, shall enter into contracts with third party benefit providers to maintain medical, dental, life insurance, long-term disability insurance and flexible spending account benefits through 2002 that are substantially the same as benefits available to EIP Employees immediately prior to the Distribution Date. EIP Employees shall cease participation in the health and welfare benefit plans of Goodrich as of the Distribution Date and shall commence participation in the health and welfare benefit plans provided by EnPro. Health and welfare benefit plan claims incurred by EIP Employees prior to the Distribution Date shall continue to be processed and paid under the Goodrich health and welfare plans. EnPro shall reimburse Goodrich for Goodrich's out-of-pocket expenses from any health and welfare claim of an EIP Employee incurred prior to the Distribution Date but paid by Goodrich after the Distribution Date; provided, however, that Goodrich shall continue to pay such claims in the ordinary course prior to the Distribution Date. For health and welfare claims incurred before the Distribution Date, EnPro shall be entitled to the benefit of any third party (i.e. non-captive) insurance coverage maintained by Goodrich in respect of such claims. Section 3.04 Retiree Medical and Life Insurance Coverage. Following the Distribution Date, EnPro or the responsible subsidiary of EnPro, as the case may be, shall provide retiree medical or life insurance coverage to (i) any active, retired or terminated employee participating in the Quincy Division Unit Pension Plan or the Pension Plan for Hourly Employees of the Garlock Sealing Technologies Division (Palmyra, New York) of Garlock Inc who is currently or who later becomes entitled to such coverage, (ii) any EIP Employee who retires after the Distribution Date who is currently or who later becomes entitled to such coverage, and (iii) any person who is 4 currently or who later becomes entitled to such coverage who was an employee of a Discontinued Operation, as defined below. Goodrich shall continue to provide retiree medical and life insurance coverage for all other retirees entitled to such coverage on the Distribution Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "DISCONTINUED OPERATION" refers to any business owned directly or indirectly by Coltec or its predecessors which ceased operating or was divested prior to July 1999, including, but not limited to, Crucible Inc., Colt Firearms Division of Colt Industries Inc, Holley Automotive Inc, Holley Performance Products Inc, Farnam Sealing Systems, Inc, Lubrikup Company, Precision Seal Corporation, and the Valves and Industrial Plastics Division of Coltec Industrial Products, Inc. This Section 3.04 is not intended to create any obligation to provide benefits to any retiree, but rather, is intended merely to allocate such obligations to the extent they may already exist. Section 3.05 Certain Non-qualified Benefit Plans. Goodrich shall amend its Savings Benefit Restoration Plan ("SBRP") and the Coltec Industries Inc Benefits Equalization Plan ("BEP") (which will be sponsored by a subsidiary of Goodrich after the Distribution Date) to permit EIP Employees to remain participants in such plans after the termination of employment with Goodrich or a subsidiary of Goodrich. The accrued benefit in any non-qualified plan shall remain frozen except to the extent such benefit may change as a result of investment earnings pursuant to the terms of the plan after the Distribution Date. The amendment shall provide that participation shall cease upon the employee's termination of employment from EnPro. Goodrich shall provide EnPro with a list of EIP Employees who are participants in the SBRP or the BEP. EnPro shall notify Goodrich in the event any EIP Employee who is a participant in the SBRP or the BEP ceases to be employed with EnPro. ARTICLE 4 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Section 4.01 Executive Compensation. (a) EnPro shall be solely responsible for any cash incentive compensation program that measures the performance of EnPro for the entire year of 2002 as though EnPro were an independent company for that time. EIP Employees shall not be entitled to any Management Incentive Plan or Senior Management Incentive Plan payment from Goodrich for the year 2002. (b) For purposes of the Goodrich Stock Option Plan, the Distribution Date shall result in the termination of employment for EIP Employees who are participants in such plan. As a result, all unvested options shall be forfeited and the period for exercising vested options shall expire 90 days after the Distribution Date. Options held by EIP Employees who are eligible to retire as of the Distribution Date will be treated as though such employee retired as of the Distribution Date. 5 (c) For purposes of the Goodrich Long-term Incentive Compensation ("LTIP") program, EIP Employees who are participants in that program will be entitled to a portion of the actual payout, when the applicable performance period ends, pro-rated to reflect the period of time through the Distribution Date; provided, however, that an EIP Employee must continue to be employed with EnPro or a subsidiary of EnPro on the last day of the applicable performance period to be entitled to a LTIP payout pursuant to this paragraph. (d) Any Management Continuity Agreements with EIP Employees will be terminated as of the Distribution Date. (e) EnPro shall be responsible for any retention payments payable to EIP Employees after the Distribution Date pursuant to any retention agreements regardless of when such agreements were entered into. Goodrich shall provide EnPro with cash (in excess of the cash to be provided to EnPro for general working capital at the Distribution Date) in an amount sufficient to pay the retention payments which become payable upon the Distribution Date. (f) EIP Employees who owned restricted shares of Goodrich common stock shall have the Restricted Share Agreements to which they are a party amended to provide that the restrictions regarding transfer shall not cause a forfeiture of such shares on the Distribution Date, but instead shall cause a forfeiture upon termination of employment with EnPro. Goodrich shall provide EnPro with a list of EIP Employees who hold restricted shares. EnPro shall notify Goodrich in the event any EIP Employee who holds restricted shares ceases to be employed with EnPro. ARTICLE 5 EMPLOYEE CLAIMS Section 5.01 Claims of Employees. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "EMPLOYMENT-RELATED CLAIM" shall refer to any liability or claim relating to the employment, or the termination of employment, of any current or former employee of EnPro or its direct or indirect subsidiaries, including Coltec and its predecessors, which claims shall include, but not be limited to, claims alleging wrongful termination, unlawful discrimination, breach of employment contract, workers' injury claims covered by various workers' compensation laws, violations of various employee health and safety requirements and severance expenses. EnPro, or the responsible subsidiary of EnPro, shall bear sole responsibility for any uninsured Employment-related Claim not paid or liquidated as of the Distribution Date incurred either before, on or after the Distribution Date, except for Employment-related Claims related to employees of businesses and subsidiaries that are transferred to Goodrich as part of the dividend of Coltec's aerospace business for which Goodrich, or the responsible subsidiary of Goodrich, shall bear sole responsibility. Goodrich shall remain responsible for all Employment-related Claims incurred prior to the Distribution Date that are insured by third parties. EnPro shall reimburse Goodrich for Goodrich's out-of-pocket expenses (including legal and 6 administrative costs) from Employment-related Claims incurred prior to the Distribution Date but paid by Goodrich after the Distribution Date; provided, however, that Goodrich shall continue to pay uninsured liabilities and claims in the ordinary course prior to the Distribution Date. Goodrich shall reimburse EnPro for EnPro's out-of-pocket expenses (including legal and administrative costs) paid by EnPro on or after the Distribution Date from Employment-related Claims related to employees of businesses and subsidiaries that are transferred to Goodrich as part of the dividend of Coltec's aerospace business.
