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.
