GOODRICH CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM
The Goodrich
Corporation Management Incentive Program (the
“Program”) has been established to provide
opportunities for certain key employees to receive incentive
compensation as a reward for high levels of personal performance
that exceed the ordinary performance standards compensated by base
salary, and for their contributions to strong performance of
Goodrich Corporation (the “Company”). The Program is
designed to provide competitive awards when relevant performance
objectives are achieved and reduced or no awards when such
objectives are not achieved.
Participation
in the Program will be limited to those key employees who have the
potential to influence significantly and positively the performance
of the Company or the business unit to which they are assigned.
Participants will be selected by the appropriate business unit
president or corporate functional head and approved by a senior
executive who reports directly to the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer (“Senior Executive”). Inclusion of a
key employee as a Participant, however, does not assure that an
incentive award will be paid to the Participant for any Program
Year (as defined below) since actual awards are determined at the
sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company (the “Committee”).
To be eligible
for participation in a Program Year, the key employee must have
assumed the duties of an incentive-eligible position and must have
been selected for participation in the Program . To receive an
award, the Participant must remain employed by the Company through
December 15 of the Program Year, except to the extent set
forth in Sections 9 and 10.
Each Program
Year each Participant is assigned to an incentive category based on
organizational level and potential impact on important Company or
business unit results. The incentive categories define the target
level of incentive opportunity, stated as a percentage of base
salary, which will be available to the Participant if the
Company’s target performance levels are met for the Program
Year (the “Target Incentive Amount”). Incentive
category assignments are initiated on the recommendation of the
appropriate business unit president and approved by the
Company’s corporate compensation group and a Senior
Executive.
4. THRESHOLD
AND MAXIMUM AWARDS
Each
Participant will be assigned threshold and maximum award levels.
Threshold award level represents the level above which an incentive
award will be paid to a Participant. An incentive award will not be
paid for performance at or below threshold level. Maximum award
level represents the maximum amount of incentive award that may be
paid to a Participant. A Participant’s maximum award level
will be 200% of such Participant’s Target Incentive
Amount.
Performance
measures that may be used under the Program include one or more of
the following criteria: operating income; net income; earnings
(including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and/or
amortization); earnings per share; sales; costs; profitability of
an identifiable business unit or product; maintenance or
improvement of profit margins; cost reduction goals; operating cash
flow; free cash flow (operating cash flow less capital
expenditures); working capital; improvements in capital structure;
debt reduction; credit ratings; return on assets; return on equity;
return on invested capital; stock price; total shareholder return;
completion of joint ventures, divestitures, acquisitions or other
corporate transactions; new business or expansion of customers or
clients; strategic plan development and implementation; succession
plan development and implementation; customer satisfaction
indicators; employee metrics; or other objective individual or team
goals.
The performance
measures may relate to the Company, on an absolute basis and/or
relative to one or more peer group companies or indices, or to a
particular participant, subsidiary, division or operating unit, or
any combination of the foregoing, all as the Committee shall
determine. In addition, the Committee may adjust, modify or amend
the above criteria, either in establishing any performance measure
or in determining the extent to which any performance measure has
been achieved. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Committee shall have the authority, at the time it establishes
the performance measures for the applicable Program Year, to make
equitable adjustments in the criteria in recognition of unusual or
non-recurring events, in response to changes in applicable laws or
regulations, or to account for items of gain, loss or expense
determined to be extraordinary or unusual in nature or infrequent
in occurrence or related to the disposal of a business or related
to a change in accounting principles, or as the Committee
determines to be appropriate to reflect a true measurement of the
performance of the Company or any subsidiary, division or operating
unit, as applicable, and to otherwise satisfy the objectives of the
Program.
The Committee
will designate, prior to or within 90 days of the beginning of
each Program Year, (a) the incentive category and percentage of
base salary for each Participant to determine such
Participant’s Target Incentive Amount; (b) the
performance measures and calculation methods to be used for the
Program Year; (c) a schedule for each performance measure
relating achievement levels for the performance measure to
incentive award levels as a percentage of each Participant’s
Target Incentive Amount; and (d) the relative weightings of
the performance measures for the Program Year.
7.
PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATION
As soon as
practicable following the end of each Program Year, the Committee
will certify the Company’s performance with respect to each
performance measure used in that Program Year. All such
certifications will be made by the Committee acting in its sole
discretion, and such certifications will be final.

8. AWARD
CALCULATION AND PAYMENT
Individual
incentive awards will be calculated and, for United States
employees, paid in a single lump sum cash payment following the
Committee’s certification of performance for each Program
Year and, in any event, on or before the March 15 immediately
following the Program Year for which the individual incentive award
was earned. The amount of a Participant’s incentive award to
be paid based on each individual performance measure will be
calculated based on the following formula (the
“Formula”):
