Exhibit 10.3 GOODRICH CORPORATION
PENSION BENEFIT RESTORATION PLAN As Amended and Restated
Generally Effective January 1, 2005 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Plan is to provide supplemental pension
benefits to certain employees who are or were participants in the
Goodrich Corporation Employees’ Pension Plan. The
supplemental pension benefits provided by this Plan are intended to
provide covered employees with pension benefits that, in the
aggregate, will be equal to the pension benefits the employees
would receive under the Goodrich Corporation Employees’
Pension Plan if such plan was not subject to certain Internal
Revenue Code limitations applicable to qualified retirement plan
benefits. This Plan, currently known as the Goodrich Corporation
Pension Benefit Restoration Plan, is hereby amended and restated
generally effective January 1, 2005 as set forth herein to
reflect among other things, the requirements of the American Jobs
Creation Act of 2004. This restatement of the Plan reflects all
prior amendments to the Plan and also reflects the fact that the
provisions of the Goodrich Corporation Savings Benefit Restoration
Plan are contained in a separate document. ARTICLE I.
