In 2002, no single customer accounted for more than 3% of segment revenues.
COMPETITION. Competition in the sealing markets in which we operate is based on proven product performance and reliability, as well as price, customer service, application expertise, delivery terms, breadth of product offering, reputation for quality and the availability of the product. Our leading brand names, including Garlock ® and Stemco ® , have been built upon our long-standing reputation for reliability and durability. In addition, the breadth, performance and quality of our product offerings allow us to achieve premium pricing and have made us a preferred supplier among our agents and distributors. We believe that our record of product performance in the major markets in which this segment operates is a significant competitive advantage for us. Major competitors include A.W. Chesterton Company, Richard Klinger Pty, The Flexitallic Group, Inc., SKF USA Inc., Freudenberg-NOK and Federal-Mogul Corporation.
RAW MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS. Our sealing products segment uses PTFE resins, aramid fibers, specialty elastomers, elastomeric compounds, graphite and carbon, common and exotic metals, cold-rolled steel, leather, aluminum die castings, nitrile rubber, powdered metal components and various fibers. We believe that all of these raw materials and components are readily available from enough suppliers to continue to operate the sealing products segment in the future.
Engineered Products Segment
PRODUCTS. Our engineered products segment includes the product lines described below, which are designed, manufactured and sold by Glacier Garlock Bearings (GGB), Quincy Compressor, France Compressor Products, Fairbanks Morse Engine and the Haber-Sterling Tool Group.
Glacier Garlock Bearings produces self-lubricating, non-rolling, metal polymer bearing products. The metal-backed or epoxy-backed bearing surfaces are made of PTFE, or a mixture that includes PTFE, to provide maintenance-free performance and reduced friction. These products typically perform as sleeve bearings or thrust washers under conditions of no lubrication, minimal lubrication or pre-lubrication. These products are used in a wide variety of markets such as the automotive, pump and compressor, construction, power generation and machine tool markets. We have over 20,000 bearing part numbers of different designs and physical dimensions. Glacier and Garlock are well recognized, leading brand names in this product area.

Fairbanks Morse Engines representative customers include Northrup-Grumman Ship Systems, YPF Ecuador, Inc., Ingersoll-Dresser Pumps, Arco Oriente Inc. and the U.S. Navy. In 2002, no single customer accounted for more than 6% of segment revenues.
COMPETITION. Glacier Garlock Bearings competes with a number of competitors, including Kolbenschmidt Pierburg Aktiengesellschaft, Norton Company and Federal-Mogul Corporation. However, no single competitor competes with Glacier Garlock Bearings across all of its bearing product lines or offers as complete a portfolio of products as Glacier Garlock Bearings does. In the markets in which Glacier Garlock Bearings competes, competition is based primarily on performance of the product for specific applications, product reliability, delivery and price. Quincy Compressors major competitors include Gardner Denver, Inc., Sullair Corporation, Ingersoll-Rand Company, Atlas Copco North America Inc. and Kaeser Compressors, Inc. In the markets in which Quincy Compressor competes, competition generally is based on reliability, quality, delivery times, energy efficiency and service. Fairbanks Morse Engines major competitors include Caterpillar Inc. and Wartsila Corporation. Price, delivery time, and engine efficiency relating to fuel consumption and emissions drive competition.
RAW MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS. Glacier Garlock Bearings major raw material purchases include steel coil, bronze powder and PTFE. Glacier Garlock Bearings sources components from a number of external suppliers, the most important being Deva F-M, Ltd., L&S Kunstoftechnologie GmbH and GKN Italia. Quincy Compressors primary raw materials are iron castings. Components used by Quincy Compressor are motors, coolers and accessories such as air dryers, filters and electronic controls. Fairbanks Morse Engine purchases multiple ferrous and non-ferrous castings, forgings, plate stock and bar stock for fabrication and machining of the engines. The majority of this material is pur- chased domestically. In addition, Fairbanks Morse Engine manufactures a considerable amount of precision-machined engine components. We believe that all of these raw materials and components are readily available from enough suppliers to continue to operate the engineered products segment in the future.

Research and Development
Total research and development spending for continuing operations was $12.9 million in 2002, $12.7 million in 2001 and $12.3 million in 2000, and represented 1.8%, 2.0% and 1.9% of sales, respectively.
Backlog
Quality Assurance
As of December 31, 2002, 25 of our manufacturing facilities were ISO 9000 and/or QS 9000 certified, with the remaining facilities working towards obtaining ISO and/or QS certification. OEMs are increasingly requiring these standards in lieu of individual certification procedures and as a condition to awarding business.
Patents, Trademarks and Other Intellectual Property
We license certain intellectual property from third parties and we are dependent on the ability of these third parties to diligently protect their intellectual property rights. In several cases, such as Fairbanks Morse Engines technology license from MAN B&W for the S.E.M.T. Pielstick four-stroke engine and Quincy Compressors license from Svenska Rotor Maskiner AB of their rotary screw compressor design and technology, the intellectual property licenses are integral to the manufacture of our products. A loss of these licenses or a failure on the part of the third party to protect its own intellectual property could reduce our revenues. Although these licenses are all long-term and subject to renewal, it is possible that we may not successfully renegotiate these licenses or that they could be terminated for a material breach on any part. If this were to occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected.
Employees and Labor Relations
We believe that we generally have a satisfactory relationship with our employees throughout our operations and the unions that represent them. We have collective bargaining agreements in place at five of our facilities. The hourly employees who are unionized are covered by collective bargaining agreements with a number of labor unions and with varying contract termination dates ranging from May 2003 to October 2007. In addition, some of our employees located outside of the U.S. are subject to national collective bargaining agreements. The last significant strike or work stoppage experienced by any of our facilities was in 1996 and lasted approximately 10 weeks.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
We are headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, and have
33 primary manufacturing facilities in 11 states within the U.S.
and eight countries outside of the U.S. The following table outlines the location, business segment and size of our most
significant facilities, along with whether such facilities are
owned or leased by us:
Our manufacturing capabilities are flexible and allow us to
customize the manufacturing process to increase performance
and value for our customers and meet particular specifications.
We also maintain numerous sales offices and warehouse facilities
in strategic locations in the U.S., Canada and other countries.
We believe that all of our facilities and equipment are in good
condition and are well maintained and able to continue to operate
at present levels and as anticipated by our present business strategy.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
A description of legal, environmental and asbestos matters is
included in Item 7 of this annual report under the heading
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations Contingencies.
In addition to the matters noted above, we are from time to
time subject to, and are presently involved in, other litigation
and legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of business. We believe that the outcome of such other litigation and
legal proceedings will not have a material adverse affect on our
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This report contains certain statements that are forward-looking
statements as that term is defined under the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the Act) and releases issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The words may, hope,
will, should, expect, plan, anticipate, intend, believe,
estimate, predict, potential, continue, and other expressions
which are predictions of or indicate future events and trends and
which do not relate to historical matters identify forward-looking statements. We believe that it is important to communicate our future
expectations to our shareholders, and we therefore make forward-looking statements in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of the
Act. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able
to accurately predict or control, and our actual results may differ
materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our
actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from
anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could
cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited
to, general economic conditions in the markets served by our
businesses, including inflation, recession, interest rates and other
economic factors, casualty to or other disruption of our facilities and
operations, and other factors that generally affect the business of industrial companies. We advise you to read further about certain of these
and other risk factors set forth under the caption Certain Risk
Factors That May Affect Future Results. We undertake no obligation
to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, either as
a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Whenever
you read or hear any subsequent written or oral forward-looking
statements attributed to us or any person acting on our behalf, you
should keep in mind the cautionary statements contained or
referred to in this section.
The following is managements discussion and analysis of certain
significant factors that have affected our consolidated financial
condition and operating results during the periods included in the
accompanying audited consolidated financial statements and the
related notes. You should read the following discussion in conjunction
with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the
related notes, included elsewhere in this report.
6
Overview
The following discusses our consolidated results of operations
and financial condition after the Distribution and Coltecs consolidated
results of operations and financial condition as it operated as a
wholly owned subsidiary of Goodrich prior to the Distribution,
including the adjustments and allocations necessary for a fair
presentation of the business. Prior to the Distribution, Coltec
owned the EIP business as well as an aerospace business. The
transfer of Coltecs aerospace business to Goodrich prior to the
Distribution constituted the disposal of a segment under APB
Opinion No. 30. Accordingly, Coltecs aerospace business has
been accounted for as a discontinued operation and its revenues,
costs and expenses, assets and liabilities and cash flows have
been segregated in the historical consolidated financial statements
included elsewhere in this report. Unless otherwise noted, the
following discussion pertains only to continuing operations.
Following the Distribution, Coltec became a wholly owned
subsidiary of EnPro and Coltecs aerospace business is owned
by Goodrich.
The following discussion of the consolidated results of operations
does not necessarily include all of the expenses that would have
been incurred by Coltec prior to the Distribution had it been a
separate, stand-alone entity and may not necessarily reflect what
Coltecs consolidated financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows would have been had Coltec been a stand-alone
entity prior to the Distribution or what our consolidated financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows may be in the future.
We manage our business as two segments, a sealing products
segment (sealing and PTFE products) and an engineered products
segment (metal polymer bearings, air compressor systems, heavy-duty diesel and natural gas engines and specialized tooling),
which encompass our primary product lines. On September 1,
2001, we acquired the Glacier metal polymer bearings business
(Glacier), which is now part of our GGB operation. The results
of Glaciers operations have been included in our Consolidated
Financial Statements since that date. The combination of our
pre-existing bearings business and Glacier created the largest
manufacturer of self-lubricating, non-rolling, metal polymer
bearings in the world. The addition of Glacier has had a significant effect on our consolidated financial condition and results
of operations.
Results of Operations
In 2002, we transferred operating responsibility for a business
in the sealing products segment to the engineered products segment. Historical segment information has been reclassified to
conform with this internal organization change. Segment profit
is total segment revenue reduced by operating expenses and
restructuring costs identifiable with the segment. We do not
include income taxes, interest expense or interest income in the
determination of segment profit. Corporate expenses include
general corporate administrative costs. The accounting policies
of the reportable segments are the same as those for EnPro.
7
2002 Compared to 2001
Corporate expenses increased 61% to $16.1 million in 2002
from $10.0 million in 2001. Corporate expenses increased in
2002 primarily as a result of our becoming an independent public
company. In 2001, corporate expenses consisted of an allocation
of Goodrich headquarters expenses. We believe the level of corporate
expenses in 2002 is more representative of our expected annual
corporate expenses. However, these expenses may be higher during
our first full year as an independent public company or may
increase due to unforeseen events or circumstances.
Asbestos-related expenses were $18.0 million in 2002, which
was 84% higher than the $9.8 million incurred in 2001. In
2002, we wrote off asbestos insurance receivables amounting to
$6.2 million as a result of a bankruptcy filing by the parent
company of one of Garlocks insurers. In addition, asbestos-related expenses, exclusive of this receivable write-off, increased
by $2.0 million in 2002 as compared to 2001 due to higher
costs associated with managing and settling asbestos claims.
Interest expense declined 46% from $25.3 million in 2001 to
$13.7 million in 2002 mainly due to the reduction in the outstanding principal amount of the 7½% Coltec Senior Notes.
All but $3.1 million of the original $300 million of 7½%
Coltec Senior Notes were exchanged for similar Goodrich
senior notes prior to the Distribution. Goodrich retained the
new Goodrich senior notes subsequent to the Distribution.
Other expenses were $44.3 million in 2002 compared to
$4.2 million in 2001. The 2002 expenses increased mainly
due to the following:
The effective income tax rate from continuing operations was
a 44.9% tax benefit in 2002 and a 37.5% tax expense in 2001.
Because we had a loss in 2002, the tax benefit of the TIDES
distributions increased the effective tax rate benefit. In 2001,
the tax benefit of the TIDES distribution decreased the
effective tax rate expense.
As mentioned above, we treat the TIDES distributions as interest
expense after the Distribution. Therefore, only five months of
the TIDES distributions, amounting to $3.3 million, are separately
reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The
amount for the other seven months, $4.6 million, is included in
interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In 2001, Coltec separately reported the annual amount of the
TIDES distributions, amounting to $7.9 million, in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In 2002, we completed our initial assessment of goodwill using
the two-step approach described in Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, or SFAS 142. We tested goodwill for impairment by
comparing the fair value of the reporting units to their carrying
value, including goodwill. We determined the fair value based
on the discounted present value of estimated future cash flows.
Since the carrying value of the assets of certain reporting units
in the sealing products segment exceeded their fair value, we
then made a comparison between the implied fair value of the
goodwill, as defined by SFAS 142, and the carrying value of the
goodwill. We determined that goodwill related to the sealing
products segment was impaired and, as required by SFAS 142,
8
we reduced goodwill by $23.4 million ($14.6 million, net of tax) to its implied
fair value. We recorded the reduction as a cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle. As required by SFAS 142, we restated the first quarter
ending March 31, 2002, to reflect the cumulative effect of the adoption of
this accounting principle. We previously evaluated goodwill for impairment by
comparing the entity level unamortized goodwill balance to projected
undiscounted cash flows, which did not result in an indicated impairment. We
also completed our first required annual impairment test of goodwill as of
October 1, 2002. The results of this assessment did not indicate any further
impairment of our goodwill.
Following is a discussion of the operating results for each segment.
SEALING PRODUCTS. Sales decreased 4% to $314.0 million in 2002 compared to
$327.5 million in 2001. Sales at Garlock Sealing Technologies were down 4% as
this operation continues to experience weakness in most of the process industry
markets that it serves in the Americas. Garlock Sealing Technologies sales in
Europe and in certain industries, such as the U.S. steel industry, were flat.
Stemco sales in 2002 were 6% higher than in 2001 due to a rebound in demand for
new heavy-duty trucks as a result of pre-buying in advance of new EPA emissions
standards in the latter part of 2002, and an increase in new heavy-duty trailer
builds from historically low levels in 2001. Demand for Plastomer Technologies
PTFE products, which declined 7% in 2002, was negatively impacted by weakness in
the aerospace, semiconductor manufacturing and chemicals markets. Decreased
sales of commercial rubber products at Garlock Rubber Technologies contributed
to a 7% decrease in revenue from 2001 to 2002.
Segment profit fell 8% from $43.0 million in 2001 to $39.5 million in 2002. The
decrease in segment profit was primarily a result of the lower sales volumes at
certain businesses noted above, pricing pressure at Garlock Sealing Technologies
and Plastomer Technologies, the recording of a reserve for a warranty claim, and
increased pension and insurance costs. These unfavorable changes were
partially offset by the elimination of goodwill amortization ($3.1 million),
cost reductions from restructuring activities in late 2001 and throughout 2002,
increased margins at Stemco, and improved operating performance at Garlock
Rubber Technologies. Operating margins for the segment decreased from 13.1% in
2001 to 12.6% in 2002.
ENGINEERED PRODUCTS. Sales were $397.6 million, a 31% increase over the $303.6
million reported in 2001. Segment profit increased 21% from $29.5 million in
2001 to $35.8 million in 2002. Operating margins for the segment were 9.0% and
9.7% in 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in operating margins was
mainly due to increased volume in lower margin product lines and increased costs
for pensions and insurance, partially offset by the elimination of goodwill
amortization ($0.8 million). A 31% increase in sales volumes and cost reductions
at Fairbanks Morse Engine contributed significantly to the segment results. A
full year of results for Glacier, acquired in September 2001 and now part of our
GGB operation, accounts for most of the increase in segment sales. On a pro
forma basis as if the Glacier acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2001,
segment sales in 2001 would have been $68.7 million higher, resulting in only a
7% increase in segment sales in 2002. GGB continues to experience pricing
pressure in its key markets in the Americas and Europe, and weakness in its key
European markets, partially offset by stronger demand in 2002 in its American
markets. This has resulted in an overall decrease in GGBs operating margins.
Improved demand from automotive programs boosted Haber-Sterlings sales by 18%,
which together with restructuring costs in 2001 that did not repeat in 2002 and
cost reductions from these restructuring activities, led to significantly
improved operating margins for this operation. Weak capital equipment and
industrial markets in 2002 negatively impacted demand at Quincy Compressor,
resulting in a sales decline. The decrease in volume and cost increases resulted
in lower operating margins at Quincy Compressor. France Compressor Products
sales and segment profit were essentially unchanged from a year ago.
Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measures Reconciliation GAAP Net Income (Loss)
to Non-GAAP As Adjusted Net Income (Unaudited)
As described in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations and in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, on May 31, 2002, Goodrich completed the Distribution. The financial
results prior to the Distribution include the results of Coltecs aerospace
business and certain other assets and liabilities (and the associated income and
expenses) that were retained by Goodrich and not distributed as part of the
Distribution.
In addition, while a part of Goodrich, Coltec was allocated a portion of
certain headquarters expenses. These expenses were not representative of the
level that would have been incurred had Coltec operated as an independent public
company during that period.
9
Since May 31, 2002, we have operated as an independent public company. Between
May 31, and December 31, 2002, we recorded a number of charges of a
non-operating nature that are more fully described in Note 3 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
With respect to these charges, we believe that:
Based on the factors cited above, we believe that it is helpful in understanding
the ongoing operating results to provide non-GAAP supplemental financial
measures showing the GAAP results adjusted to eliminate the impact of income and
expenses associated with assets and liabilities retained by Goodrich that will
have no bearing on our ongoing results in the future. In addition, we believe
that the non-GAAP supplemental financial measures are more meaningful if the
operating results are further adjusted to approximate what they would have been
had we operated as an independent public company during all periods presented
and if we exclude from the GAAP results those items that are not representative
of our ongoing operational activities.
2001 Compared to 2000
Asbestos-related expenses increased 5% to $9.8 million in 2001 from $9.3 million
in 2000. The increase was mainly due to the mix of insurance policies in 2001,
which provided lower reimbursements from insurance carriers of fees and
expenses incurred in the management of asbestos-related matters.
The effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 37.5% in 2001 and
2000.
Following is a discussion of the operating results for each segment.
SEALING PRODUCTS. Sales of $327.5 million in 2001 were 10% lower than the $363.7
million in 2000. The lower sales volumes were due to continued softness in all
major markets, including chemical processing, heavy-duty truck and trailer
assembly and pulp and paper production. The terrorist attacks on September 11,
2001, contributed further to the weakness in our major markets and caused a drop
in orders to varying degrees by product line and market in the fourth quarter.
This event and its negative impact contributed to our decision to take certain
restructuring measures to reduce costs and personnel, to consolidate certain
facilities and to write down certain assets. New truck and trailer production in
2001 was approximately half the levels of early 2000. In addition, capacity
utilization in U.S. factories declined to levels well below the historical
average in 2001 while U.S. industrial production fell nearly every month after
mid-2000. These factors contributed to a decrease in capital spending and delays
in scheduled maintenance programs throughout the process industries.
10
Segment profit of $43.0 million in 2001 was 34% lower than the $65.3 million in
2000. The decline was principally attributable to lower sales volumes,
particularly in some of our higher margin products. In addition, operating
margins declined from 18.0% to 13.1% due to weaker pricing in certain market
segments and an inability to reduce fixed costs at the same rate as sales
declined. Increased expenses associated with the write-down of inventories and
other assets, and severance and labor costs not associated with a formal
restructuring plan also contributed to reduced margins.
ENGINEERED PRODUCTS. Sales of $303.6 million in 2001 were 4% higher than the
$293.3 million in 2000. Lower bearings sales in North America in 2001 due, in
part, to weak automotive markets and competitive pricing pressure were offset by
the impact of the Glacier acquisition. Weak automotive markets also negatively
impacted sales of tooling products. Sales of diesel engines increased slightly
due to increased shipments of commercial engines in the fourth quarter. Weak
capital spending in the industrial manufacturing sector adversely affected sales
of air compressors. This segment also experienced a decline in orders after
September 11, 2001.
Segment profit of $29.5 million in 2001 was 48% lower than the $57.1 million in
2000. In addition to the impact of lower sales volumes, operating margins
declined from 19.5% in 2000 to 9.7% in 2001. Profitability of diesel engines
declined due to a combination of reduced pricing in the commercial power
generation market and increased warranty costs, and because 2000 results
included the completion of a very profitable project. Lower sales volumes,
competitive pricing pressures, wage and benefit costs increases and an inability
to reduce fixed costs at the same rate as sales declined combined to reduce
earnings in all other product lines as well.
Restructuring Costs
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the
Consolidated Financial Statements. We believe that the following accounting
policies and estimates are among the most critical because they involve
significant judgments and uncertainties and could potentially result in
materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.
Revenue Recognition
Asbestos
In accordance with internal procedures for the processing of asbestos product
liability actions and due to the proximity to trial or settlement, certain
outstanding actions progress to a stage where the cost to dispose of these
actions can be reasonably estimated. These actions are classified as actions in
advanced stages. With respect to outstanding actions that are in preliminary
procedural stages, as well as any actions that may be filed in the future,
insufficient information exists upon which judgments can be made as to the
validity or ultimate disposition of such actions, thereby making it impossible
to estimate with any degree of accuracy or reasonableness what, if any,
potential liability or costs may be incurred. Accordingly, no estimate of future
liability has been included for such claims. See Contingencies Asbestos, in
this Managements Discussion and Analysis and Note 16 in the Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional discussion of asbestos matters.
TIDES, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
11
required to finance conversions of the TIDES would exceed the TIDES liquidation
value.
We also have entered into a limited number of foreign currency forward exchange
contracts to hedge forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies.
These forward exchange contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges. As cash
flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the forward exchange
contracts is reported in other comprehensive loss and the ineffective portion is
reported in income. Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss are
reclassified into income in the period that the hedged transactions affect
earnings.
Pensions and Post-Retirement Benefits
Lower market interest rates and plan asset returns have resulted in declines in
pension plan asset performance and funded status. As a result, the discount
rate was lowered to 7.0% and expected return on plan assets was lowered to 8.5%,
reflecting current economic conditions. Pension expense in 2003 is expected to
increase approximately 50% because of these changes. See Note 11 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2002, SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or
Disposal Activities, was issued. This statement provides guidance on the
recognition and measurement of liabilities associated with exit or disposal
activities and requires that such liabilities be recognized when incurred. This
statement is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated on or after
January 1, 2003, and does not impact recognition of costs under any existing
programs. Adoption of this standard may impact the timing of recognition of
costs associated with future exit and disposal activities, depending upon the
nature of the actions initiated. We do not expect the new guidance to have a
material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
In November 2002, FASB Interpretation, or FIN, No. 45, Guarantors Accounting
and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others, was issued. The interpretation provides guidance on the
guarantors accounting and disclosure requirements for guarantees, including
indirect guarantees of indebtedness of others. We adopted the disclosure
requirements of the interpretation as of December 31, 2002. The accounting
guidelines are applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31,
2002 and require that we record a liability for the fair value of such
guarantees in our balance sheet. We do not expect the adoption of this portion
of the interpretation will have a material effect on our consolidated
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In January 2003, FIN No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, was
issued. The interpretation provides guidance on consolidating variable interest
entities and applies immediately to variable interests created or obtained after
January 31, 2003. The guidelines of the interpretation will become applicable
for us in our third quarter 2003 financial statements for variable interest
entities acquired before February 1, 2003. The interpretation requires variable
interest entities to be consolidated if the equity investment at risk is not
sufficient to permit an entity to finance its activities without support from
other parties or the equity investors lack certain specified characteristics.
We are reviewing FIN No. 46 to determine its impact, if any, on future reporting
periods, and do not anticipate any material accounting or disclosure requirement
under the provisions of the interpretation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
12
assessment and the related accrued interest. Goodrich, with the assistance of
Coltec, is pursuing judicial remedies for a refund of this payment. If a refund
is received, the refund will be remitted to Goodrich in accordance with the tax
matters arrangements agreed to in connection with the Distribution. A reasonable
estimate of the potential refund cannot be made at this time; accordingly, no
receivable has been recorded. Also contributing to the trend in operating cash
flows during these periods was the trend in asbestos-related expenditures and
recoveries. In 2002, 2001 and 2000, asbestos-related expenditures exceeded
proceeds from asbestos-related insurance by $52.4 million, $78.0 million and
$38.7 million, respectively, as further discussed under Contingencies -
Asbestos, included in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
Investing Cash Flows
The increase in capital expenditures in each year reflects a decision to
increase investments in our businesses and to implement programs aimed at cost
reductions and the restructuring of our operations.
Financing Cash Flows
Capital Resources
Prior to the Distribution, Goodrich offered to exchange new Goodrich securities
for the outstanding 7 1/2% Coltec Senior Notes. Goodrich acquired $296.9 million
of 7 1/2% Coltec Senior Notes, which was the entire amount tendered pursuant to
the exchange offer. Coltec purchased all of these notes from Goodrich in
exchange for a $201.9 million Coltec Debenture and $97.2 million in cash, after
which such notes were cancelled. The cash portion of the purchase price was
financed through an intercompany loan from Goodrich that was assumed by Coltecs
aerospace business. The Coltec Debenture was contributed by Goodrich to us and
remains an outstanding obligation of Coltec to us, which, for accounting
purposes, is eliminated upon consolidation in our Consolidated Financial
Statements. The $3.1 million of 7 1/2% Coltec Senior Notes that remained
outstanding following the completion of the exchange offer continue to be
obligations of Coltec after the Distribution.
Our primary U.S. operating subsidiaries executed a credit agreement in 2002
for a new senior secured revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the senior
secured revolving credit facility are secured by receivables, inventories,
equipment, intellectual property, insurance receivables and all other personal
property assets of EnPro and its U.S. subsidiaries and by a pledge of 65% of the
capital stock of their direct foreign subsidiaries. The maximum available
amount under the senior secured revolving credit facility is $60 million. The
senior secured revolving credit facility contains customary
restrictions, covenants and events of default for financings of this type,
including without limitation, restrictions on the payment of dividends, the
repurchase of shares, the incurrence of additional debt, and the acquisition of
new businesses. We do not expect compliance with these restrictions and
covenants to materially affect our operations. There were no borrowings against
this facility in 2002.
In 2002, we executed a $4.7 million variable rate promissory note. The
promissory note is collateralized by life insurance policies. The promissory
note bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75%, or 3.76% as of December 31,
2002, which is
13
adjusted annually. The promissory note is payable at the earliest of termination
of the policies, death of persons insured under the policies, or 60 days prior
to the expiration of the policies. We anticipate that there will be two
additional borrowings in the same amount and under similar terms and conditions
that will occur in April 2003 and April 2004.
Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness, including
the debt retained or incurred pursuant to the new senior secured revolving
credit facility as well as any future indebtedness, and to fund working capital,
capital expenditures, asbestos claims against our subsidiaries and strategic
acquisitions and investments, will depend on our ability to generate cash in the
future from operations, financings and sales of assets. Our ability to raise
capital through the issuance of additional equity is constrained as described
later in this section. We cannot be certain that we will be successful in
obtaining additional financing if needed or that, if obtained, any additional
financing will be on terms favorable to us.
Subsequent to the Distribution, our primary sources of liquidity are operating
cash flows and the availability of the senior secured revolving credit facility.
Our principal sources of liquidity prior to the Distribution were intercompany
loans and contributions from Goodrich.
Following the Distribution and until April 15, 2028, each TIDES is convertible,
at the option of the holder, into a combination of 0.955248 of a share of
Goodrich common stock and 0.1910496 of a share of EnPro common stock, subject to
adjustment. Should the holders exercise their right to convert the TIDES, we
would be required to deliver shares of Goodrich and EnPro common stock to the
holders as promptly as practicable after the conversion date and in connection
therewith would be required to purchase shares of Goodrich common stock on the
open market, directly from Goodrich or by exercising our call options on
Goodrich common stock discussed below. We may not have sufficient cash on hand
or the ability to finance these transactions in the time period required by the
TIDES agreements. Failure to honor conversion rights would be a default under
those agreements.
Further, the value of Goodrich and EnPro common stock may increase to the level
where our cost to acquire shares in a conversion could exceed, with no maximum,
the aggregate liquidation value of the TIDES of $150 million. We purchased call
options on 2,865,744 shares of Goodrich common stock with an exercise price of
$52.34 per share (the conversion price), which represents the total Goodrich
shares that would be required if all TIDES holders convert. The call options
provide for either an adjustment to the exercise price or a cash payment, at our
option, if there is a change in the cash dividends paid on Goodrich common
stock. Until they expire in March 2007, the call options provide protection
against our risk that the cash required to finance conversions of the TIDES
would exceed the TIDES liquidation value. The call options are derivative
instruments and are carried at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets
with changes in the fair value reflected currently in our earnings. Such changes
may have a material effect on our results of operations in a given period, but
will not result in a cash obligation. The fair value of the call options
declined in 2002 by $16.7 million before tax, and a corresponding charge to
earnings is included in other expenses in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations. While we have hedged our exposure to conversion costs in excess of
the aggregate liquidation value of the TIDES as described earlier, we cannot
assure you that we will have the financial resources to redeem these securities
or effectively hedge this exposure to potential conversion costs in excess of
the aggregate liquidation value of the TIDES beyond the term of the call
options.
If we are unable to obtain the capital we require to implement our business
strategy, or to obtain the capital we will require on acceptable terms or in a
timely manner, we would attempt to take appropriate responsive actions to tailor
our activities to our available financing, including making revisions to our
business strategies to accommodate the reduced financing. Our ability to raise
capital through the issuance of additional equity is constrained because it may
cause the Distribution to be taxable under Section 355(e) of the Internal
Revenue Code and we indemnify Goodrich for any tax due as a result of such a
transaction.

Contingencies
General
Environmental
We have been notified that EnPro or one of its subsidiaries is among the
potentially responsible parties under environmental laws for the cost of
investigating and, in some cases, remediating contamination by hazardous
materials at 17 sites at which the costs to it are expected to exceed $100
thousand at each site. The majority of these sites relate to remediation
projects at former operating facilities that have been sold or closed and
primarily deal with soil and groundwater remediation. Investigations have been
completed for 14 sites and are in progress at three sites. The laws governing
investigation and remediation of these sites can impose joint and several
liability for the associated costs. Liability for these costs can be imposed on
present and former owners or operators of the properties or on parties that
generated the wastes that contributed to the contamination. Our policy is to
accrue environmental investigation and remediation costs when it is both
probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably
estimated. The measurement of the liability is based on an evaluation of
currently available facts with respect to each individual situation and takes
into consideration factors such as existing technology, presently enacted laws
and regulations and prior experience in remediation of contaminated sites.
Liabilities are provided for all sites based on the factors discussed above. As
assessments and remediation progress at individual sites, these liabilities are
reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional technical data and
legal information.
We initiate corrective and preventive environmental projects in an effort to
ensure safe and lawful operations at our facilities. We also conduct
comprehensive compliance and management system audits at our facilities to
maintain compliance and improve operational efficiency.
In 2002, we conducted a review of our process for managing and estimating
environmental liabilities. As a result of changes in our strategies growing out
of this review, and in light of recent developments at a number of environmental
sites associated with previously divested businesses, the accrued liability was
increased by $12.0 million to reflect an increase in the estimated costs to
remediate these sites. The increased costs will be paid over a number of years
and therefore should not significantly impact short-term liquidity. As of
December 31, 2002, EnPro had an accrued liability of $37.2 million for probable
future expenditures relating to environmental contingencies. Although we are
pursuing insurance recovery in connection with certain of these matters, no
receivable has been recorded with respect to any potential recovery of costs in
connection with any environmental matter.
Actual costs to be incurred for identified situations in future periods may vary
from estimates because of the inherent uncertainties in evaluating
environmental exposures due to unknown conditions, changing government
regulations and legal standards regarding liability. Subject to the
imprecision in estimating future environmental costs, we believe that
maintaining compliance with current environmental laws and government
regulations will not require significant capital expenditures or have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition, but could be material to our results
of operations and cash flows in a given period.
Other Contingent Liability Matters
15
Asbestos
CLAIMS MIX. Of those claims resolved, approximately 2% have been claims of
plaintiffs alleging the disease mesothelioma, approximately 6% have been claims
of plaintiffs with lung or other cancers, and approximately 92% have been claims
of plaintiffs alleging asbestosis, pleural plaques or other impairment of the
respiratory system of varying degree. Because the more serious disease cases
tend to work through the system more quickly than the non-malignancy cases and
the cases filed by those who are not impaired, we believe that the disease mix
in our current open caseload, on a percentage basis, is even more skewed toward
pleural plaques and includes a large number of claims made by plaintiffs who
have suffered no disease and have no measurable impairment of any kind. In fact,
while there are many cases in our current open caseload about which we have no
disease information, we are only aware of approximately 7,000 that involve a
claimant with mesothelioma, lung cancer or some other cancer.
PRODUCT DEFENSES. We believe that Garlock and Anchor are in a favorable position
compared to many other asbestos defendants because, among other things, the
asbestos-containing products formerly sold by Garlock and Anchor were
encapsulated, which means the asbestos fibers were incorporated into the product
during the manufacturing process and sealed in a binder. They are also
nonfriable, which means they cannot be crumbled by hand pressure. The
Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which began generally requiring
warnings on asbestos-containing products in 1972, has never required that a
warning be placed on products such as Garlocks gaskets. Notwithstanding that no
warning label has been required, Garlock included one on all of its
asbestos-containing products beginning in 1978. Further, gaskets such as those
previously manufactured and sold by Garlock are one of the few
asbestos-containing products still permitted to be manufactured under
regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency. Since the mid-1980s, U.S.
sales of asbestos-containing industrial sealing products have not been a
material part of Garlocks sales and sales of asbestos-containing products since
the mid-1980s have been predominantly to sophisticated purchasers such as the
U.S. Navy and large petro-chemical facilities. These purchasers generally have
extensive health and safety procedures and are familiar with the risks
associated with the use and handling of industrial sealing products that
contain asbestos. Garlock discontinued distributing asbestos-containing products
in the U.S. during 2000 and worldwide in mid-2001.
SETTLEMENTS. Garlock settles and disposes of actions on a regular basis. In
addition, some actions are disposed of at trial. Garlocks historical settlement
strategy has been to try to match the timing of payments with recoveries
received from insurance, which, as described later, are currently limited to $80
million per year. However, in 1999 and 2000, Garlock implemented a short-term
aggressive settlement strategy. The purpose of this short-term strategy was to
achieve a permanent reduction in the number of overall asbestos claims through
the settlement of a larger than normal number of claims, including some claims
not yet filed as lawsuits. Mainly due to this short-term aggressive settlement
strategy, but also because of a significant overall increase in claims filings,
the settlement amounts paid in each of the years 1999 through 2002 were greater
than the amounts paid in any year prior to 1999. In 2001, Garlock resumed its
historical settlement strategy. In fact, Garlock reduced new settlement
commitments from $180 million in 2000, to $94 million in 2001, and to $86
million in 2002. However, because of commitments made in 1999 and 2000 that will
be paid over a number of years, the settlement amounts that Garlock will pay in
2003 through 2005 will continue to include amounts for settlements made during
1999, 2000 and early 2001.
Settlements are made without any admission of liability and are generally made
on a group basis with payments made to individual claimants over a period of one
to four years. Settlement amounts vary depending upon a number of factors,
including the jurisdiction where the action was brought, the nature and extent
of the disease alleged and the associated medical evidence, the age and
occupation of the plaintiff, the presence or absence of other possible causes of
the plaintiffs alleged illness, the availability of legal defenses, and whether
the action is an individual one or part of a group. Garlock believes that its
allocable portion of the total settlement amount for an action has typically
ranged from 1% to 2% of the total amount paid by all defendants in the action.
16
Before any payment on a settled claim is made, the claimant is required to
submit a medical report acceptable to Garlock substantiating the
asbestos-related illness and meeting specific criteria of disability. In
addition, sworn testimony or other evidence that the claimant worked with or
around Garlock asbestos-containing products is required. The claimant is also
required to sign a full and unconditional release of Garlock, its subsidiaries,
parent, officers, directors, affiliates and related parties from any liability
for asbestos-related injuries or claims.
When a settlement demand is not reasonable given the totality of the
circumstances, Garlock generally will try the case. Garlock has been successful
in winning a substantial majority of the cases it has tried to verdict.
Garlocks share of adverse verdicts in these cases in the years 2000 through
2002 totaled approximately $6 million in the aggregate, and some of those
verdicts are on appeal.
STATUS OF ANCHOR. Anchor is an inactive and insolvent indirect subsidiary of
Coltec. The insurance coverage available to Anchor of approximately $9 million
as of December 31, 2002, is fully committed. Anchor continues to pay settlement
amounts covered by its insurance but has not committed to settle any further
actions since 1998. As cases reach the trial stage, Anchor is typically
dismissed without payment.
INSURANCE COVERAGE. The insurance coverage available to Garlock is substantial.
As of December 31, 2002, Garlock had available $892 million of insurance
coverage from carriers that it believes to be solvent. Garlock classifies $76
million of otherwise available insurance as insolvent. The amount of insurance
classified as insolvent increased by $15 million during the year ended December
31, 2002, resulting from the filing of a petition under Chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code by the parent company of one of Garlocks insurers. In
2002, we wrote off receivables from this insurer totaling $6.2 million. We
believe Garlock will recover some of the insolvent insurance over time. In fact,
Garlock recovered $2 million from an insolvent insurance carrier during 2002. Of
the solvent insurance, $708 million (79%) is with U.S.-based carriers whose
credit rating by S&P is investment grade (BBB) or better, and whose AM Best
rating is excellent (A-) or better, $59 million (7%) is with other solvent U.S.
carriers, and $126 million (14%) is with various solvent London market carriers.
Of the $892 million, $151 million is allocated to claims that have been paid by
Garlock and submitted to its insurance companies for reimbursement and $124
million has been committed to claim settlements not yet paid by Garlock. Thus,
at December 31, 2002, $618 million remained available for future
asbestos-related payments.
Arrangements with Garlocks insurance carriers limit the amount that can be
received by it in any one year. The amount of insurance available to cover
asbestos-related payments by Garlock currently is limited to $80 million per
year. This limit automatically increases by 8% every three years. The next
scheduled increase will impact recoveries beginning in the third quarter of
2003.
Amounts paid by Garlock in excess of this annual limit that would otherwise be
recoverable from insurance may be collected from the insurance companies in
subsequent years so long as insurance is available, subject to the annual limit
available in each subsequent year. As a result, Garlock is required to pay out
of its own cash any amounts paid to settle or dispose of asbestos-related
claims in excess of the annual limit and collect these amounts from its
insurance carriers in subsequent years. To the extent that Garlock pays such
amounts in a given year, these payments are recorded as a receivable. The
amounts paid in excess of insurance recoveries in 2002 that were recorded as a
receivable amounted to $34.4 million. Garlock is pursuing various options, such
as raising the annual limit and commuting policies at discounted values, to
ensure as close a match as possible between payments by Garlock and recoveries
received from insurance carriers. There can be no assurance that Garlock will be
successful as to any or all of these options.
Insurance coverage for asbestos claims is not available to cover exposures
initially occurring on and after July 1, 1984. Garlock and Anchor continue to be
named as defendants in new actions, a few of which allege initial exposure after
July 1, 1984. To date, no payments have been made with respect to these claims,
pursuant to a settlement or otherwise. In addition, Garlock and Anchor believe
that they have substantial defenses to these claims and therefore automatically
reject them for settlement. However, there can be no assurance that any or all
of these defenses will be successful in the future.
QUANTITATIVE CLAIMS INFORMATION. In accordance with internal procedures for the
processing of asbestos product liability actions and due to the proximity to
trial or settlement, certain outstanding actions against Garlock have progressed
to a stage where we believe we can reasonably estimate the cost to dispose of
these actions. These actions are classified as actions in advanced stages and
are included in the table as such below. With respect to outstanding actions
against Garlock that are in preliminary procedural stages, as well as any
actions that may be filed in the future, we believe that insufficient
information exists upon which judgments can be made as to the validity or
ultimate disposition of such actions. Therefore, we believe that it is
impossible to estimate with any degree of accuracy or reasonableness what, if
any, potential liability or costs may be incurred. Accordingly, we have not
included any estimate of future liability for such claims in the table below.
We record an accrual for liabilities related to Garlock and Anchor
asbestos-related matters that are deemed probable and can be reasonably
estimated, which consist of settled claims and actions in advanced stages of
processing. We also record an asset for the amount of those liabilities that we
expect Garlock and Anchor to recover from insurance. A table is provided below

STRATEGY. Garlocks current strategy is to focus on trial-listed cases and other
cases in advanced stages of processing, to reduce new settlement commitments
each year and to proactively support legislative and other efforts aimed at
asbestos reform. Garlock believes that this strategy should continue to result
in the reduction of the negative annual cash flow impact from asbestos claims
(as it has in 2002 compared to 2001), as previous settlements work their way
through the payment process. Garlock believes that, as predicted in various
epidemiological studies that are publicly available, the incidence of
asbestos-related disease should decline steadily over the next decade and
thereafter, so that the level of claims activity against Garlock will eventually
decline to a level that can be paid from the cash flow expected from Garlocks
operations even if Garlock exhausts its insurance coverage. There can be no
assurance that epidemiological predictions about incidence of asbestos-related
disease will prove to be accurate, or that, even if they are, there will be a
commensurate decline in the number of asbestos-related claims filings. In fact,
such studies indicate that asbestos-related disease should be in decline
currently, yet asbestos-related claims filings continue to increase.
Considering the foregoing, as well as the experience of Coltecs subsidiaries
and other defendants in asbestos litigation, the likely sharing of judgments
among multiple responsible defendants, recent bankruptcies of other
defendants, and legislative efforts, and given the substantial amount of
insurance coverage that Garlock expects to be available from its solvent
carriers, we believe that pending actions against Garlock and Anchor are not
likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, but could
be material to our results of operations or cash flows in a given period. We
anticipate that asbestos-related actions will continue to be filed against
Garlock. Because of the uncertainty as to the number and timing of potential
future actions, as well as the amount that will have to be paid to settle or
satisfy any such actions in the future, there can be no assurance that those
future actions will not have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.

utilized to secure the use of assets from time to time if the terms and
conditions of the lease or the nature of the asset makes the lease arrangement
more favorable than a purchase. As of December 31, 2002, approximately $42

Payments for other long-term liabilities are estimates of amounts that will be
paid for environmental and retained liabilities of previously owned businesses
included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2002. These
estimated payments are based on information currently known to us. However, it
is possible that these estimates will vary from actual results if new
information becomes available in the future or if there are changes in the facts
and circumstances related to these liabilities. Additional discussion regarding
these liabilities is included earlier in this Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Contingencies -
Environmental, Other Contingent Liability Matters, and in Note 16 in the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Outlook
We currently expect our markets to remain stable during 2003, but anticipate a
modest increase in sales over 2002 as we accelerate new product introductions
and expand our sales efforts. Higher sales volumes as well as the benefits of
our Total Customer Value lean manufacturing program are expected to result in
improved operating margins and increased profitability in 2003.
We anticipate that cash flow in 2003 will benefit from lower net asbestos
payments and improved operating income. However, we expect capital spending to
increase significantly over 2002 as we implement programs to reduce costs and
improve market penetration.
Certain Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results
19
Risks Related to Our Recent Spin-off from Goodrich Corporation
The historical consolidated financial information of our wholly owned subsidiary
Coltec included in this report may not reflect what our financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows would have been on a historical basis had
we operated the EnPro business as an independent company during the periods
presented or what our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows
will be in the future. This is because Coltecs historical consolidated
financial statements include allocations for services provided or procured by
Goodrich, which we may not be able to procure or provide ourselves on the same
basis. In addition, we have not made adjustments to Coltecs historical
consolidated financial information to reflect other changes that will occur in
our cost structure, financing and operations as a result of the Distribution.
These changes could potentially include increased costs associated with reduced
economies of scale and a higher cost of capital, and also changes in how we fund
our operations, conduct research and development and pursue our strategic
objectives. Finally, as a result of the Distribution, Goodrich, not EnPro, owns
Coltecs aerospace business, which is reflected in Coltecs historical
consolidated financial information as a discontinued operation. Therefore,
Coltecs historical consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of
our future performance as an independent company.
We could incur significant indemnity obligations to Goodrich for U.S. federal
income tax liability if acquisitions or issuances of EnPro stock cause the
Distribution to be taxable.
The Distribution was intended to be tax-free to Goodrich and its shareholders
under Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code. Generally, Goodrich may
recognize a taxable gain on the Distribution if there are one or more
acquisitions or issuances of our capital stock representing 50% or more of our
then-outstanding capital, measured by vote or value, and the acquisitions or
issuances are deemed to be part of a plan or series of related transactions that
include the Distribution. Any shares of our stock acquired or issued within two
years before or after the Distribution will generally be presumed to be part of
such a plan unless we can rebut that presumption. If the acquisition or issuance
of our stock causes the Distribution to be taxable to Goodrich, we will be
required to indemnify Goodrich against any tax payable under the tax matters
arrangements we entered into with Goodrich as part of the Distribution. In
addition, aside from the tax matters arrangements, under U.S. federal income tax
laws, we and Goodrich would be severally liable for Goodrichs federal income
taxes from the Distribution being taxable. This means that even if we do not
have to indemnify Goodrich for any tax liabilities if the Distribution fails to
be tax-free, we may still be liable for any part of, including the whole amount
of, these liabilities and expenses if Goodrich fails to pay them.
Risks Related to Our Business
The historical business operations of two Coltec subsidiaries, Garlock Sealing
Technologies LLC and The Anchor Packing Company, have resulted in a substantial
volume of asbestos litigation in which plaintiffs have alleged personal injury
or death as a result of exposure to asbestos fibers. Those subsidiaries
manufactured and/or sold industrial sealing products, predominately gaskets,
which contained encapsulated asbestos fibers. Although those subsidiaries
actively manage their exposure to asbestos litigation and their relationships
with insurance carriers through another Coltec subsidiary, Garrison Litigation
Management Group, Ltd., several risks and uncertainties may result in potential
liabilities to us in the future that could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Those risks
and uncertainties include the following:
Potential liability for asbestos claims may adversely affect our ability to
retain and attract customers and quality personnel. To the extent our
subsidiaries insurance is depleted or the payments required in any given year
exceed the annual limitations on insurance recoveries from our subsidiaries
carriers, our subsidiaries would be required to fund these obligations from
available cash, even if such amounts are recoverable under these insurance
policies in later years. This could adversely affect our ability to use cash for
other purposes, including growth of our business, and adversely affect our
financial condition.
20
Our business and some of the markets we serve are cyclical, and changes in
general market conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business.
The markets in which we sell our products, particularly chemical companies,
petroleum refineries and the automotive industry, are, to varying degrees,
cyclical and have historically experienced periodic downturns. Prior downturns
have been characterized by diminished product demand, excess manufacturing
capacity and subsequent erosion of average selling prices in these markets
resulting in negative effects on our net sales, gross margins and net income.
Economic downturns or other material weakness in demand in any of these markets
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows.
The markets that we serve in the U.S. and abroad have been affected by the
recent economic downturn. As a result, our business and financial results have
been adversely affected. If this economic slowdown were to continue for an
extended period or if conditions were to worsen, the negative impact on our
business and financial results could be further exacerbated.
We face intense competition that could have a material adverse effect on our
business.
We encounter intense competition in almost all areas of our business.
Additionally, customers for many of our products are attempting to reduce the
number of vendors from which they purchase in order to reduce inventories. To
remain competitive, we need to invest continuously in manufacturing, marketing,
customer service and support and our distribution networks. We may not have
sufficient resources to continue to make such investments or maintain our
competitive position. Additionally, some of our competitors are larger than we
are and have substantially greater financial resources than we do. As a result,
they may be better able to withstand the effects of periodic economic
downturns. Pricing and other competitive pressures could adversely affect our
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
If we fail to retain the independent agents and distributors upon whom we rely
to market our products, we may be unable to effectively market our products and
our revenue and profitability may decline.
Our marketing success in the U.S. and abroad depends largely upon our
independent agents and distributors sales and service expertise and
relationships with customers in our markets. Many of these agents have developed
strong ties to existing and potential customers because of their detailed
knowledge of our products. A loss of a significant number of these agents or
distributors, or of a particular agent or distributor in a key market or with
key customer relationships, could significantly inhibit our ability
to effectively market our products, which could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We have exposure to some contingent liabilities relating to discontinued
operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows in any fiscal period.
We have some contingent liabilities related to discontinued operations of our
predecessors, including environmental liabilities and liabilities for certain
products and other matters. In some instances, we have indemnified others
against those liabilities, and in other instances, we have received indemnities
from third parties against those liabilities.
Under federal and state environmental laws, Coltec or one of its subsidiaries
has been named as a potentially responsible party at 17 sites at which the costs
to it are expected to exceed $100 thousand at each site. Investigations have
been completed or are near completion for 14 of these sites and are in progress
at the other three sites. The majority of these sites relate to remediation
projects at former operating facilities that have been sold or closed and
primarily deal with soil and groundwater contamination. We believe that any
liability incurred for cleanup at these sites will be satisfied over a number of
years, and, in some cases, the costs will be shared with other potentially
responsible parties.
In addition, there is the potential for claims to arise relating to products or
other matters related to discontinued operations. Some of these claims could
seek substantial monetary damages. Specifically, we may potentially be subject
to the liabilities related to the firearms manufactured prior to March 1990 by
Colt Firearms, a former operation of Coltec, and for electrical transformers
manufactured prior to 1994 by Central Maloney, another former Coltec operation.
Coltec also has ongoing obligations with regard to workers compensation,
retiree medical and other retiree benefit matters associated with discontinued
operations that relate to Coltecs periods of ownership of those operations.
We have insurance and reserves to address these liabilities. However, if our
insurance coverage is depleted or our reserves are not adequate, environmental
and other liabilities relating to discontinued operations could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We conduct a significant amount of our sales activities outside of the U.S.,
which subjects us to additional business risks that may cause our profitability
to decline.
Because we sell our products in a number of foreign countries, we are subject to
risks associated with doing business internationally. In 2002, we derived
approximately 36% of our
21
revenues from sales of our products outside of the U.S. Our international
operations are, and will continue to be, subject to a number of risks,
including:
Any of these factors, individually or together, could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
We intend to continue to pursue international growth opportunities, which
could increase our exposure to risks associated with international sales and
operations. As we expand our international operations, we may also encounter
new risks that could adversely affect our revenues and profitability. For
example, as we focus on building our international sales and distribution
networks in new geographic regions, we must continue to develop relationships
with qualified local agents, distributors and trading companies. If we are not
successful in developing these relationships, we may not be able to increase
sales in these regions. We could also face increased costs associated with
staffing and managing foreign operations.
If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights and knowledge
relating to our products, our business and prospects may be negatively impacted.
We believe that proprietary products and technology are important to our
success. If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property and
know-how, our business and prospects could be negatively impacted. Our efforts
to protect our intellectual property through patents, trademarks, service
marks, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, confidentiality, noncompete
and nondisclosure agreements and other measures may not be adequate to protect
our proprietary rights. Patents issued to third parties, whether before or after
the issue date of our patents, could render our intellectual property less
valuable. Our ownership of our intellectual property and questions as to whether
our competitors products infringe our intellectual property rights may be
disputed. In addition, intellectual property rights may be unavailable, limited
or difficult to enforce in some jurisdictions, which could make it easier for
competitors to capture market share in those jurisdictions.
Our competitors may capture market share from us by selling products that claim
to mirror the capabilities of our products or technology without infringing upon
our intellectual property rights. Without sufficient protection nationally and
internationally for our intellectual property, our competitiveness worldwide
could be impaired, which would negatively impact our growth and future revenue.
As a result, we may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and
police our intellectual property rights.
A loss of certain of our intellectual property licenses or failure on the part
of our licensors to protect their own intellectual property under such license
agreements may negatively impact our business and revenues.
We license certain intellectual property from third parties and we are dependent
on the ability of these third parties to diligently protect their intellectual
property rights. In several cases, such as Fairbanks Morse Engines technology
license from MAN B&W for the S.E.M.T. Pielstick four-stroke engine and Quincy
Compressors license from Svenska Rotor Maskiner AB for their rotary screw
compressor design and technology, the intellectual property licenses are
integral to the manufacture of our products. A loss of these licenses or a
failure on the part of the third party to protect its own intellectual property
could reduce our revenues. Although these licenses are all long-term and subject
to renewal, it is possible that we may not successfully renegotiate these
licenses or that they could be terminated for a material breach on our part. If
this were to occur, our business, financial condition, results of operation and
cash flows could be adversely affected.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
We have a limited trading history because there has been a public market for our
common stock only since May 24, 2002. A relatively small number of shares
traded in any one day could have a significant affect on the market price. The
market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly for many reasons,
including in response to the risks described in this section and elsewhere in
this report or for reasons unrelated to our operations, such as reports by
industry analysts, investor perceptions or negative announcements by our
customers, competitors or suppliers regarding their own performance, as well as
industry conditions and general financial, economic and political instability.
For example, to the extent that other large companies within our industry
experience declines in their stock price, our stock price may decline as well.
22
Because our quarterly revenues and operating results may vary significantly in
future periods, our stock price may fluctuate.
Our revenue and operating results may vary significantly from quarter to
quarter. A high proportion of our costs are fixed, due in part to significant
selling and manufacturing costs. Small declines in revenues could
disproportionately affect operating results in a quarter and the price of our
common stock may fall. Other factors that could affect quarterly operating
results include, but are not limited to:
Various agreements and laws could delay or prevent a change of control that you
may favor.
The terms of some of our agreements relating to the Distribution, particularly
the tax matters arrangements with Goodrich, anti-takeover provisions of our
articles of incorporation and bylaws, our shareholder rights plan and
provisions of North Carolina law could delay or prevent a change of control that
you may favor or may impede the ability of the holders of our common stock to
change our management. An acquisition or further issuance of our stock in
connection with a change-of-control transaction or otherwise could cause the
Distribution and associated restructuring activities to be taxable to Goodrich
and Coltec. Under the tax matters arrangements, we would be required to
indemnify Goodrich for the resulting tax and this indemnity obligation might
discourage, delay or prevent a change of control that you may favor.
In particular, the provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws, among
other things, will:
Our shareholder rights plan will also make an acquisition of a controlling
interest in EnPro in a transaction not approved by our board of directors more
difficult.
Our debt agreements impose limitations on our operations, which could impede our
ability to respond to market conditions, address unanticipated capital
investments and/or pursue business opportunities.
The agreements relating to the TIDES and to $3.1 million of 7 1/2% Coltec Senior
Notes due April 15, 2008 impose limitations on our operations. We also have a
senior secured revolving credit facility. The agreements relating to the credit
facility impose additional and, in some cases, more restrictive limitations
including restrictions on our ability to pay dividends, to repurchase shares, to
incur additional debt and to acquire new businesses. These limitations could
impede our ability to respond to market conditions, address unanticipated
capital investments and/or pursue business opportunities.
23
We may not have adequate cash or the ability to finance conversions of the
TIDES.
Until April 15, 2028, each TIDES is convertible at a conversion price of $52.34
per TIDES, at the option of the holder, into a combination of 0.955248 of a
share of Goodrich common stock and 0.1910496 of a share of EnPro common stock.
Should the holders of the TIDES exercise their right to convert the TIDES,
Coltec would be required to deliver shares of Goodrich and EnPro common stock to
the holders as promptly as practicable on or after the conversion date and in
connection therewith would be required to purchase shares of Goodrich common
stock on the open market, directly from Goodrich or by exercising its call
options on Goodrich common stock discussed below. Coltec may not have sufficient
cash on hand or the ability to finance these transactions in the time period
required by the agreements relating to the TIDES. Failure to honor conversion
rights would be a default under the TIDES agreements.
Further, the value of Goodrich and EnPro common stock may increase to a level
where Coltecs cost to acquire shares in a conversion could exceed, with no
maximum, the aggregate liquidation value of the TIDES of $150 million. Coltec
has purchased call options on 2,865,744 shares of Goodrich common stock with an
exercise price of $52.34 per share (the conversion price), which represents the
total Goodrich shares that would be required if all TIDES holders convert. Until
they expire in March 2007, the call options provide protection against the risk
that the cash required to finance conversions of the TIDES could exceed their
liquidation value. While Coltec has hedged its exposure to conversion costs in
excess of the aggregate liquidation value of the TIDES, as described earlier, we
cannot be certain that Coltec will have the financial resources to redeem these
securities or effectively hedge its exposure to potential conversion costs in
excess of the aggregate liquidation value of the TIDES beyond the term of the
call options.
EnPro, Goodrich, Coltec and Coltec Capital Trust have entered into an
indemnification agreement with respect to the TIDES under which EnPro, Coltec
and Coltec Capital Trust will indemnify Goodrich from any costs and liabilities
that Goodrich incurs as a result of its earlier guarantee of Coltec and Coltec
Capital Trusts obligations under the TIDES. Such indemnification obligations
may result in payments that could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The call options on Goodrich common stock purchased by Coltec to mitigate its
economic risk created by the conversion feature of the TIDES are derivative
instruments and are carried at fair value in our balance sheet with changes in
the fair value reflected in our earnings. Changes in the fair value of the call
options will not result in a cash obligation to Coltec. However, the change in
fair value of the derivatives could be material to our results of operations in
a given period.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to certain market risks as part of our ongoing business
operations, including risks from changes in interest rates and foreign currency
exchange rates that could impact our financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows. We plan to manage our exposure to these and other market risks
through regular operating and financing activities, and on a limited basis,
through the use of derivative financial instruments. We intend to use such
derivative financial instruments as risk management tools and not for
speculative investment purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk as a result of our outstanding debt
obligations. The table below provides information about our debt obligations as
of December 31, 2002. The table represents principal cash flows and related
weighted average interest rates by expected (contractual) maturity dates.
24
Foreign Currency Risk
We are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business
operations. These risks include the translation of local currency balances of
our foreign subsidiaries, intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries and
transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Our objective is to minimize our
exposure to these risks through our normal operating activities and, where
appropriate, through foreign currency forward contracts. At December 31, 2002,
we had foreign currency forward contracts maturing in February 2003 through
November 2003 to purchase 8.6 million Euro at rates of $0.9667 to $0.9725 to
the Euro. In 2002, approximately 36% of our total sales consisted of sales
outside the United States, with approximately 28% of total sales denominated in
currencies other than the United States dollar.
Risk Due to Convertibility of TIDES
As described in the preceding Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources, we
purchased call options that expire in March 2007 to provide protection against
the risk that the cash required to finance conversions of the TIDES could exceed
the TIDES liquidation value. While we have hedged our exposure to conversion
costs in excess of the aggregate liquidation value of the TIDES, we cannot be
certain that we will have the financial resources to redeem these securities or
effectively hedge this exposure beyond the term of the call options.
The call options are derivative instruments and are carried at fair value in our
Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes in the fair value reflected in our
earnings. Such changes may have a material effect on our results of operations
in a given period, but will not result in any cash obligation. If the call
options expire unexercised and the market price of Goodrich common stock at that
time is less than the exercise price per share, then the cumulative net charges
to earnings over the life of the call options for financial reporting purposes
will be limited to the original cost.

In connection with the Distribution, we conducted a
review of our process for managing and estimating
environmental liabilities. As a result of changes in our
strategies growing out of this review, and in light of recent
developments at a number of environmental sites associated
with previously divested businesses, we increased our
environmental liabilities by $12.0 million to reflect an
increase in the estimated costs to remediate these sites.
The increased costs will be paid over a number of years
and therefore should not significantly impact our short-term liquidity.
Based on new information obtained during the year, we
revised the estimated costs associated with an adverse court
ruling during 2002 related to severance owed as a result of
the closing of a plant in 1982. We increased our retained
liabilities of previously owned businesses for this case by
$11.0 million. In December 2002, $14.4 million was paid
in connection with this liability.
In 2002, we purchased call options on Goodrich common
stock to provide protection against the risk that the cash
required to finance conversion of the convertible preferred
securities of trust, or TIDES, into Goodrich common
stock would exceed the liquidation value of the TIDES.
The call options are a derivative instrument and are carried
at fair value on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes
in fair value are reflected in income. The fair value of the
call options declined by $16.7 million during the year.
1. the magnitude of the items is such that it is important for readers
of our Consolidated Financial Statements to be aware of these items and
the effect that they had on net income (loss) during the periods
presented; and,
2. with respect to one of the charges, the mark-to-market adjustments
on our call options on Goodrich common stock, the expense we recognized
does not involve a cash outlay and is driven by changes in the Goodrich
stock price that have no bearing on our normal operating activities.

As we enter 2003, our strong liquidity and relatively conservative leverage give
us the sound financial position we need to build a stronger EnPro. In the short
time we have been an independent company, we have made progress in our strategy
to improve operating efficiency and the management of asbestos settlements by
our subsidiaries. Going forward, we remain focused on these issues as we seek to
expand our product offerings and customer base and to strengthen the mix of our
businesses to ensure our long-term viability.
Set forth below are certain risk factors that we believe are material to our
shareholders. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial
condition, results of operations, and reputation could be harmed. You should
also consider these risk factors when you read forward-looking statements
elsewhere in this report. You can identify forward-looking statements by terms
such as may, hope, will, should, expect, plan, anticipate,
intend, believe, estimate, predict, or continue, the negative of those
terms or other comparable terminology. Those forward-looking statements are only
predictions and can be adversely affected if any of the following risks occur.
Coltecs historical consolidated financial information may not be representative
of our historical results as an independent company; therefore, it may not be
reliable as an indicator of historical or future results.
Certain of our subsidiaries are defendants in asbestos litigation.
the potential for a large volume of future asbestos claims to
the extent such claims are not covered by insurance because
insurance coverage is, or will be, depleted;
the uncertainty of the per claim value of pending and
potential future asbestos claims;
the timing of payout of claims relative to recoveries of
amounts covered by insurance from our subsidiaries insurance carriers and limitations imposed on the amount that may
be recovered in any given year;
the financial viability of our subsidiaries insurance
carriers and their reinsurance carriers, and our subsidiaries
ability to collect on claims from them;
an increase in litigation or other costs that are not covered
by insurance;
the unavailability of any insurance for claims alleging first
exposure to asbestos after July 1, 1984; and
bankruptcies of other defendants.
unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;
adverse changes in foreign tax, legal and regulatory
requirements;
difficulty in protecting intellectual property;
trade protection measures and import or export licensing
requirements;
differing labor regulations;
political and economic instability; and
acts of hostility, terror or war.
Because there has not long been a
public market for our common stock, the market price and trading volume of our
common stock may be volatile.
demand for our products;
the timing and execution of customer contracts;
the timing of sales of our products;
payments related to asbestos litigation or annual costs
related to asbestos litigation that are not covered by
insurance or that exceed the annual limits in place with our
insurance;
changes in the fair value of call options on Goodrich common
stock purchased by Coltec to reduce the economic risk of the

issues;

technological innovations;

competitors;

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of EnPro
Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) (formerly Coltec Industries
Inc) as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements
of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 2002. Our audits also included the
accompanying financial statement schedule of valuation and qualifying accounts.
These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Companys
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of EnPro Industries,
Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related
financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all
material respects the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets, effective January 1, 2002.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. OVERVIEW, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND
Overview
In May 2002, Goodrich Corporation (Goodrich) completed the tax-free spin-off
of its Engineered Industrial Products (EIP) business to its shareholders (the
Distribution). EnPro was incorporated in North Carolina in January 2002 in
anticipation of the proposed Distribution. Prior to the Distribution, Coltec
Industries Inc (Coltec) was a wholly owned subsidiary of Goodrich and owned
the EIP business and an aerospace business (Coltec Aerospace). During May
2002, Coltec transferred to Goodrich, by way of a dividend, all of the assets,
liabilities and operations of Coltec Aerospace (the Aerospace Dividend).
Upon the Distribution, Coltec became a wholly owned subsidiary of EnPro. The
Distribution was effected through a tax-free distribution to Goodrich
shareholders of all of the capital stock of EnPro. Each Goodrich shareholder
received one share of EnPro common stock, as well as an associated EnPro
preferred stock purchase right, for every five shares of Goodrich common stock
owned.
Basis of Presentation
As a result of the Aerospace Dividend, Goodrich retained the net assets of
Coltec Aerospace, which are reflected as assets and liabilities of discontinued
operations in the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets. Coltec Aerospace
retained certain other assets and liabilities, including intercompany balances
between Coltec and Goodrich and other assets and liabilities relating primarily
to pensions, postretirement benefits other than pensions and income taxes.
Prior to the Distribution, Coltec had certain outstanding debts, the most
significant of which were the 5 1/4% Convertible Preferred Securities Term
Income Deferred Equity Securities (the TIDES) and Coltecs 7 1/2% Senior Notes
due 2008 (the Coltec Senior Notes). The TIDES continue to be obligations of
Coltec after the Distribution. However, because the TIDES are convertible into
the common stock of another registrant (i.e. Goodrich), the TIDES are no longer
deemed to be a convertible preferred security and are classified as long-term
debt. In April 2002, Goodrich made an offer to exchange the Coltec Senior Notes
for debt securities of Goodrich having similar terms. Goodrich exchanged new
Goodrich securities for $296.9 million of the $300.0 million outstanding Coltec
Senior Notes, which were tendered at the time of the exchange. On May 21, 2002,
Coltec purchased all of these notes from Goodrich, including accrued interest
thereon, in exchange for a $201.9 million debenture and $97.2 million in cash.
As a result of the transaction, all Coltec Senior Notes purchased by Coltec were
cancelled. The cash portion of the purchase price was financed through an
intercompany loan from Goodrich that was assumed by Coltec Aerospace. The
debenture was contributed by Goodrich to EnPro and will remain an outstanding
obligation of Coltec to EnPro, which, for accounting purposes, is eliminated
upon consolidation in EnPros financial statements. The $3.1 million of Coltec
Senior Notes that were outstanding following the exchange offer remain
obligations of Coltec.
Management believes that the assumptions underlying the Consolidated Financial
Statements are reasonable. However, the financial information in these financial
statements does not necessarily include all of the expenses that would have been
incurred by Coltec had it been a separate, stand-alone entity prior to the
Distribution and may not necessarily reflect what Coltecs consolidated
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows would have been had
Coltec been a stand-alone entity prior to the Distribution.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is recognized at the time products are shipped or
services are rendered.
40
ASBESTOS An accrual is recorded for asbestos-related matters that are deemed
probable and can be reasonably estimated, which consist of settled claims and
actions in advanced stages of processing. An asset is recorded for the amount
that is expected to be recovered from insurance.
In accordance with internal procedures for the processing of asbestos product
liability actions and due to the proximity to trial or settlement, certain
outstanding actions progress to a stage where the cost to dispose of these
actions can be reasonably estimated. These actions are classified as actions
in advanced stages. With respect to outstanding actions that are in preliminary
procedural stages, as well as any actions that may be filed in the future, the
Company believes that insufficient information exists upon which judgments can
be made as to the validity or ultimate disposition of such actions. Therefore,
the Company believes that it is impossible to estimate with any degree of
accuracy or reasonableness what, if any, potential liability or costs may be
incurred. Accordingly, no estimate of future liability has been included for
such claims.
USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with a
maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase.
INVENTORIES Certain domestic inventories are valued by the last-in, first-out
(LIFO) cost method. Inventories not valued by the LIFO method are valued using
first-in, first-out (FIFO), and are recorded at the lower of cost or market.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are recorded at
cost. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized; whereas, maintenance and
repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost of property sold or otherwise
disposed and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts at
the time of disposal, and any resulting gain or loss is included in income.
Depreciation of plant and equipment is determined on the straight-line method
over the following estimated useful lives of the assets: buildings and
improvements, 5 to 40 years; machinery and equipment, 3 to 15 years.
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill represents the excess of the
purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of acquired businesses and,
prior to 2002, was amortized using the straight-line method, in most cases over
20 to 40 years. Subsequent to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142) effective January 1, 2002, goodwill is no longer
amortized, but instead is subject to annual impairment testing conducted at the
same time each year. The annual impairment test will be conducted as of October
1, although interim tests may be required if an event occurs or circumstances
change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit
below its carrying amount.
Other intangible assets are recorded at cost, or when acquired as a part of a
business combination, at estimated fair value. These assets include customer
relationships, patents and other technology agreements, trademarks, licenses and
non-compete agreements. Other intangible assets that have definite lives are
amortized using a method that reflects the pattern in which the economic
benefits of the assets are consumed or the straight-line method over estimated
useful lives of 5 to 25 years. Other intangible assets with indefinite lives are
subject to at least annual impairment testing, which compares the fair value of
the intangible asset with its carrying amount.
INCOME TAXES The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for
income taxes. Temporary differences arising from the difference between the tax
basis of an asset or liability and its carrying amount on the Consolidated
Balance Sheets are used to calculate future income tax assets or liabilities.
This method also requires the recognition of future tax benefits, such as net
operating loss carryforwards, to the extent that realization of such benefits is
more likely than not. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect
on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company accounts for stock options using the
intrinsic value method. Required pro forma information regarding net income and
earnings per share has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its
employee stock options under the fair value method. The fair value for these
options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing
model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
The option valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions,
primarily stock price volatility, changes in which can materially affect the
fair value estimate. The fair value of stock options granted during 2002 was
$3.66 per share.
41
For purposes of the required pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of
the options is amortized to expense over the vesting period of the options. The
Companys pro forma information is as follows:
The effects of this pro forma disclosure are not likely to be representative of
effects on reported net income for future years.
FAIR VALUE Because of their short maturity, the carrying value of cash and
cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, the current asbestos insurance
receivable, accounts payable and short-term bank debt approximates fair value.
Fair value of long-term investments is based on quoted market prices.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE Costs related to research and development
activities are expensed as incurred. The Company performs research and
development under Company-funded programs for commercial products. Total
research and development expenditures in 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $12.9 million,
$12.7 million and $12.3 million, respectively.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended,
requires that all derivative instruments be reported in the Consolidated Balance
Sheets at fair value and that changes in a derivatives fair value be recognized
currently in earnings unless specific hedge criteria are met. Coltec purchased
call options in 2002 to mitigate its financial exposure created by the
conversion feature of the TIDES. The call options are derivative instruments and
are carried at fair value with changes reflected in income. The Company also has
entered into a limited number of foreign currency forward exchange contracts to
hedge forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies. These forward
exchange contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges. As cash flow hedges,
the effective portion of the gain or loss on the forward exchange contracts is
reported in other comprehensive loss and the ineffective portion is reported in
income. Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss are reclassified into
income in the period that the hedged transactions affect earnings.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The financial statements of those operations
whose functional currency is a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars
using the current rate method. Under this method, all assets and liabilities are
translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates, and income statement
items are translated using weighted-average exchange rates. The translation
adjustment is included as a component of shareholders equity; whereas, gains
and losses on foreign currency transactions are included in income. Income taxes
have not been provided on foreign currency translation adjustments because the
net assets invested in the Companys foreign operations are considered to be
permanently invested. Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) totaled
$(0.4), $0.2 and $0.2 for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic and diluted earnings per share in 2002 were computed
based on the net loss divided by the average common shares outstanding (20.2
million shares). Because EnPros results were consolidated into the results of
Goodrich in 2001 and 2000, per share numbers do not apply to those periods. As
of December 31, 2002, there are no dilutive common stock equivalents that would
cause diluted earnings per share to differ from basic earnings per share.
RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain prior year amounts in the financial statements have
been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
2. ACQUISITIONS
During 2002, the Company received $4.8 million in satisfaction of final
post-closing settlements and paid $1.1 million under earn-out provisions of
previously consummated acquisitions. Both transactions were recorded as
adjustments to the goodwill associated with these acquisitions.
In September 2001, the Company acquired the Glacier metal polymer bearings
business (Glacier). The results of Glaciers operations have been included in
the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company since that date. The
business manufactures and distributes industrial metal polymer bearings and was
integrated with the Companys Garlock Bearings business, which is included in
the engineered products segment. The integrated business is referred to as
Glacier Garlock Bearings. The acquisition extends the Companys reach
geographically and results in a global position in the metal polymer bearings
market; broadens its current product offerings; is expected to result in
economies of scale relating to raw material purchases; and, includes the use of
the Glacier brand name trademarks and intellectual property. The acquisition was
recorded using the purchase method of accounting.
42
The following pro forma information assumes that the acquisition occurred as of
January 1, 2001.
The cost for Glacier and a small product line acquisition in 2001 was $155.1
million and resulted in an increase in working capital of $8.0 million, an
increase in property, plant and equipment of $22.3 million, an increase in
goodwill and other intangible assets of $125.1 million and an increase in other
liabilities of $0.3 million.
3. OTHER EXPENSES
During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recorded other expenses
totaling $40.6 million before tax. These charges consisted principally of the
following components.
In connection with the Distribution, the Company conducted a review of its
process for managing and estimating environmental liabilities. As a result of
changes in the Companys strategies growing out of this review, and in light of
recent developments at a number of environmental sites associated with
previously divested businesses, the Company increased its environmental
liabilities by $12.0 million to reflect an increase in the estimated costs to
remediate these sites.
Based on new information obtained during the year, the Company revised the
estimated costs associated with an adverse court ruling during 2002 related to
severance owed as a result of the closing of a plant in 1982. The Company
increased its retained liabilities of previously owned businesses for this case
by $11.0 million. In December 2002, $14.4 million was paid in connection with
this liability.
In March 2002, the Company purchased call options on Goodrich common stock to
provide protection against the risk that the cash required to finance conversion
of the TIDES into Goodrich common stock would exceed the liquidation value of
the TIDES. The call options are a derivative instrument and are carried at fair
value on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in fair value are
reflected in income. The fair value of the call options declined by $16.7
million during the year.
4. RESTRUCTURING COSTS
During 2002, the Company relocated or consolidated several of its manufacturing
facilities and transitioned the manufacturing of several product lines to
different sites. Workforce reductions announced in 2002 totaled approximately
240, primarily production, positions of which 182 were terminated by December
31, 2002.
The Company incurred $3.9 million of restructuring costs related to these
initiatives in the year ended December 31, 2002. The restructuring costs
included $2.9 million for facility consolidations and equipment relocations and
$1.0 million for termination benefits. Restructuring reserves at December 31,
2002, as well as activity during the year ended December 31, 2002, consisted of:
During 2001, the Company incurred $4.7 million of restructuring costs, which
included $2.4 million of personnel-related costs associated with workforce
reductions at several operating units and $2.3 million related to facility
closures and asset write-downs. Inventory accounted for $0.9 million of the
asset write-down amounts. This amount is reflected in cost of sales in the
accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Restructuring reserves were
reduced by $2.9 million during 2001, of which $1.1 million represented cash
payments. The remaining $1.8 million of reserve reductions represented asset
impairment charges or reserves which were transferred to, and subsequently
administered by, Goodrich.
Workforce reductions announced in 2001 totaled approximately 170 positions,
divided nearly equally between administrative and production personnel.
Approximately 90 of these employees were terminated by December 31, 2001, and
the balance were terminated by December 31, 2002.
43
Restructuring reserves at December 31, 2001, as well as activity during the
year, consisted of:
During 2000, the Company incurred $1.4 million of restructuring costs, which
included $1.3 million of personnel-related costs associated with workforce
reductions and $0.1 million related to an asset write-down. The restructuring
reserves were reduced by $7.5 million during 2000, of which $4.0 million
represented cash payments. The remaining $3.5 million of reserve reductions
represented the remaining reserves associated with the purchase of Coltec by
Goodrich which were transferred to, and subsequently administered by, Goodrich.
Restructuring reserves at December 31, 2000, as well as activity during the
year, consisted of:
5. INCOME TAXES
Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes as shown in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations consists of the following:
A summary of income tax (expense) benefit from continuing operations in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations is as follows:
Significant components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities at December
31, 2002 and 2001 are as follows:
Deferred tax assets and liabilities approximately match each other in terms of
timing and amounts and should be realizable in the future, given the Companys
operating history. Managements analysis indicates that the turnaround periods
for certain of these assets are for long periods of time or are indefinite. In
addition, management has determined, based on the Companys history of prior
earnings and its expectations for the future, that taxable income of the Company
will more likely than not be sufficient to fully recognize any remaining
deferred tax assets.
44
The effective income tax rate from continuing operations varied from the
statutory federal income tax rate as follows:
The effective tax rate in 2002 was a benefit as a result of the pre-tax loss.
The Company has not provided for U.S. federal and foreign withholding taxes on
$31.7 million of foreign subsidiaries undistributed earnings as of December 31,
2002, because such earnings are intended to be reinvested indefinitely. It is
not practical to determine the amount of income tax liability that would result
had such earnings actually been repatriated. On repatriation, certain foreign
countries impose withholding taxes. The amount of withholding tax that would be
payable on remittance of the entire amount of undistributed earnings would
approximate $2.5 million.
6. INVENTORIES
Inventories consisted of the following:
Approximately 76% and 79% of inventories were valued by the LIFO method in 2002
and 2001, respectively.
7. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment consisted of the following:
8. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Effective July 1, 2001, the provisions of SFAS 142 applicable to business
combinations completed after June 30, 2001 were adopted. Effective January 1,
2002, additional provisions of SFAS 142, relating to business combinations
completed prior to June 30, 2001 became effective and were adopted. Under these
provisions, goodwill and other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives
are no longer subject to amortization. Other intangible assets with definite
lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Goodwill and other
indefinite lived intangible assets are subject to annual impairment testing
using the guidance and criteria described in the standard. This testing requires
comparison of carrying values to fair values, and when appropriate, the carrying
value of impaired assets is reduced to fair value. The Company has approximately
$14 million of trademarks in other intangible assets with indefinite lives as of
December 31, 2002 and 2001.
The Company completed its initial assessment of goodwill using the two-step
approach described in SFAS 142. Goodwill was tested for impairment by comparing
the fair value of the reporting units to their carrying value, including
goodwill. The fair value was determined based on the discounted present value of
estimated future cash flows. Since the carrying value of the assets of certain
reporting units in the sealing products segment exceeded their fair value, a
comparison was then made between the implied fair value of the goodwill, as
defined by SFAS 142, and the carrying value of the goodwill. Goodwill related to
the sealing products segment was determined to be impaired and, as required by
SFAS 142, was reduced by $23.4 million ($14.6 million, net of tax) to its
implied fair value. The reduction was recorded as a cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle. As required by SFAS 142, the first quarter
ending March 31, 2002 has been restated to reflect the cumulative effect of the
adoption of this accounting principle. Goodwill was previously evaluated for
impairment by comparing the entity level unamortized goodwill balance to
projected undiscounted cash flows, which did not result in an indicated
impairment. The Company also completed its first required annual impairment test
of goodwill as of October 1, 2002. The results of this assessment do not
indicate any further impairment of the goodwill.
45
Income from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2001 and
2000, adjusted to exclude amounts no longer being amortized, is as follows.
Because the Companys results were consolidated with the results of Goodrich in
2001 and 2000, per share amounts do not apply to either period.
The changes in the net carrying value of goodwill by reportable segments for the
years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 are as follows:
The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of identifiable
intangible assets is as follows:
Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 was $4.1
million and $2.5 million, respectively. Amortization expense for these
intangible assets for 2003 through 2007 is estimated to be approximately $4
million per year.
9. LONG-TERM DEBT
The Companys long-term debt at December 31, 2002 and 2001 is summarized as
follows:
The Companys primary operating subsidiaries executed a credit agreement dated
May 16, 2002 for a senior secured revolving credit facility with a group of
banks. This agreement gives the Company the ability to borrow up to $60 million
through May 2006. Borrowings are available at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.75%. The
Company paid a $3.1 million commitment fee in 2002, which is being amortized
over the life of the agreement. The Company pays an annual unused line fee
ranging from 0.5% to 1.0% depending on the amount of utilization. The Company
also pays an annual collateral management fee of 0.0125%.
Borrowings under the credit facility are collateralized by receivables,
inventories, equipment, intellectual property, insurance receivables and all
other personal property assets of EnPro and its U.S. subsidiaries and by a
pledge of 65% of the capital stock of foreign subsidiaries. The credit facility
contains customary restrictions, covenants and events of default for financings
of this type, including without limitation, restrictions on the ability to pay
dividends, to repurchase shares, to incur additional debt, and to acquire new
businesses. There have been no borrowings under this credit facility in 2002.
Coltec has outstanding $150 million of 5 1/4% TIDES due April 15, 2028. The
TIDES are convertible at a conversion price of $52.34 per TIDES, at the option
of the holder, into a combination of 0.955248 of a share of Goodrich common
stock and 0.1910496 of a share of EnPro common stock, subject to adjustment.
Should the holders exercise their right to convert the TIDES, Coltec would be
required to deliver shares of Goodrich and EnPro common stock to the holders as
promptly as practicable after the conversion date and in connection therewith
would be required to purchase shares of Goodrich common stock in the open
market, directly from Goodrich or by exercising its call options on Goodrich
common stock discussed below. Failure to honor conversion rights would be a
default under those agreements. Further, the value of Goodrich and EnPro common
stock may increase to a level where Coltecs cost to acquire shares in a
conversion could exceed, with no maximum, the $150 million aggregate liquidation
value of the TIDES. Coltec has purchased call options on 2,865,744 shares of
Goodrich common stock
46
with an exercise price of $52.34 per share (the conversion price), which
represents the total Goodrich shares that would be required if all TIDES holders
convert. Until they expire in March 2007, the call options provide protection
against the risk that the cash required to finance conversions of the TIDES
could exceed the TIDES liquidation value.
The 7 1/2% Coltec Senior Notes are payable in full in 2008. The industrial
revenue bonds are payable in full in 2009 and bear interest rates of 6.4% to
6.55%. The Company executed a variable rate promissory note dated December 11,
2002 in the original principal amount of $4.7 million. The promissory note is
collateralized by life insurance policies. The promissory note bears interest at
LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75%, or 3.76% as of December 31, 2002, which is
adjusted annually. The promissory note is payable at the earliest of termination
of the policies, death of persons insured under the policies, or sixty days
prior to the expiration of the policies.
Future principal payments on long-term debt are as follows:
10. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Companys accounting policies with respect to financial instruments are
described in Note 1. The carrying values of the Companys significant financial
instruments reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate their
respective fair values at December 31, 2002 and 2001, except for the following
instruments:
The fair values for long-term debt and the TIDES are based on quoted market
prices or on rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and
maturities.
11. PENSIONS AND POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS
The Company and its subsidiaries have several non-contributory defined benefit
pension plans covering eligible employees. Salaried employees benefit payments
are generally determined using a formula that is based on an employees
compensation and length of service. Hourly employees benefit payments are
generally determined using stated amounts for each year of service. The
Companys employees also participate in voluntary contributory retirement
savings plans for salaried and hourly employees maintained by the Company and
its subsidiaries. Under provisions of these plans, eligible employees can
receive matching contributions up to the first 6% of their eligible earnings.
Expenses recorded in 2002, 2001 and 2000 for matching contributions under these
plans were approximately $4 million per year. The Company provides, through
non-qualified plans, supplemental pension benefits to a limited number of
employees.
The Companys general funding policy for qualified defined benefit pension plans
is to contribute amounts sufficient to satisfy regulatory funding standards. The
projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of
plan assets for the defined benefit pension plans with accumulated benefit
obligations in excess of plan assets were $102.8 million, $91.4 million and
$70.6 million at December 31, 2002, and $2.0 million, $1.7 million and zero at
December 31, 2001, respectively. The accumulated benefit obligation for the U.S.
defined benefit pension plans was $86.2 million at December 31, 2002. Prior to
the Distribution, assets for these plans consisted principally of corporate and
government obligations and commingled funds invested in equities, debt and real
estate. The plan assets were invested in a Goodrich master trust. Shortly before
the Distribution, the plan assets were moved to the EnPro Industries, Inc.
Master Trust. Since then, the plan assets have been invested principally in
commingled funds of equity and debt securities.
Certain of the Companys subsidiaries also sponsor unfunded defined benefit
post-retirement plans that provide certain health-care and life insurance
benefits to eligible employees. The health-care plans are contributory, with
retiree contributions adjusted periodically, and contain other cost-sharing
features, such as deductibles and coinsurance. The life insurance plans are
generally noncontributory.
47
The following table sets forth the change in projected benefit obligation,
change in plan assets and the funded status of the Companys defined benefit
pension and other post-retirement plans as of and for the year ended December
31, 2002.
The expected return on plan assets for determining 2003 net periodic benefit
cost for the U.S. defined benefit pension plans was lowered to 8.5%.
A portion of the benefit obligation and the plan assets will be transferred to
Goodrich. This amount represents the benefit obligation and related plan assets
attributable to employees that retired prior to the Distribution that will be
paid by the Goodrich retirement plans. The amounts to be transferred to Goodrich
in the tables above are estimates. The transfers are expected to take place in
2003.
The Company amortizes prior service cost and unrecognized gains and losses using
the straight-line basis over the average future service life of active
participants.
Assumed health-care cost trend rates have been used in the valuation of certain
of the other benefits. The U.S. trend rate is 9% for 2003 and decreases by 1%
per year to 5% in 2007 and thereafter. A one percentage point change in the
assumed health-care cost trend rate would not have a material effect on the
other benefits obligation or on the aggregate service and interest cost
components.
48
The additional liability is included in other non-current liabilities
in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In 2001 and 2000, prior to the Distribution, Goodrich allocated
its combined pension and post-retirement benefit cost to its
operating divisions. The pension service cost identifiable to a
business was assigned to that business. The remainder of
Goodrichs pension expense (or income) for domestic operations
was allocated based on the pension benefit obligation of each
business. For international plans, the subsidiary sponsor
recorded the pension expense or income as actuarially determined for that unit. Post-retirement expense was actuarially
determined by business.
The following table summarizes information regarding Coltecs
pension and post-retirement benefit amounts recorded in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2001.
The Companys income from continuing operations included
$5.6 million and $7.2 million of pension income in 2001 and
2000, respectively. The Companys income from continuing
operations included $0.5 million and $0.4 million of post-retirement benefit expense in 2001 and 2000, respectively.
12. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
Accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted of the following:
13. STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company has a stock option plan (the Plan) which provides
for the awarding of or the granting of options to purchase the
Companys common stock. Generally, options granted are exercisable at the rate of 35% after one year, 70% after two years
and 100% after three years. The term of each option cannot
exceed 10 years from the date of grant. All options granted
under the Plan have been granted at not less than 100% of fair
market value (as defined) on the date of grant.
Transactions involving the Plan are summarized below:
All options issued in 2002 had an exercise price of $5.51 and
none are exercisable as of December 31, 2002. The remaining
contractual life of the options is 9.6 years.
14. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has two reportable segments. The sealing products
segment manufactures sealing and PTFE products. The engineered products segment manufactures metal polymer bearings,
air compressors, heavy-duty diesel and natural gas engines and
specialized tooling. The Companys reportable segments are
managed separately based on differences in their products and
services. In 2002, operating responsibility for a business in the
sealing products segment was transferred to the engineered
products segment. Historical segment information has been
reclassified to conform with this internal organization change.
Segment profit is total segment revenue reduced by operating
expenses and restructuring costs identifiable with the segment.
Corporate expenses include general corporate administrative
costs. The Company does not include income taxes, interest
expense or interest income in the determination of segment
profit. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are
the same as those for the Company.
49
No customer accounted for 10% or more of net sales in
2002, 2001 or 2000.
Long-lived assets consist of property, plant and equipment,
goodwill and other intangible assets.
15. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Prior to the Distribution, Coltec transferred Coltec Aerospace
to Goodrich by way of a dividend. The transfer of Coltec Aerospace
to Goodrich represented the disposal of a segment under APB
Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations Reporting
the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary,
Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions.
Accordingly, Coltec Aerospace was accounted for as a discontinued
operation through the Distribution date and its revenues, costs
and expenses, assets and liabilities, and cash flows have been
segregated in the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets,
Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows.
The following summarizes the results of discontinued operations, which consist solely of the results of Coltec Aerospace:

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
General
There are pending or threatened against the Company or its subsidiaries various claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings, all arising in the ordinary course of business with respect to commercial, product liability, asbestos and environmental matters, which seek remedies or damages. The Company believes that any liability that may finally be determined with respect to commercial and non-asbestos product liability claims should not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial condition or results of operations. From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are also involved as plaintiffs in legal proceedings involving contract, patent protection, environmental and other matters. Gain contingencies, if any, are recognized when they are realized.
Environmental
The Company and its subsidiaries are generators of both hazardous wastes and non-hazardous wastes, the treatment, storage, transportation and disposal of which are subject to various laws and governmental regulations. Although past operations were in substantial compliance with the then applicable regulations, the Company has been designated as a potentially responsible party (PRP) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or similar state agencies, in connection with several sites.
The Company initiates corrective and/or preventive environmental projects of its own to ensure safe and lawful activities at its current operations. It also conducts a compliance and management systems audit program. The Company believes that compliance with current laws and governmental regulations concerning the environment will not have a material adverse effect on its capital expenditures or results of operations.
The Companys environmental engineers and consultants review and monitor environmental issues at past and existing operating sites, as well as off-site disposal sites at which the Company has been identified as a PRP. This process includes investigation and remedial selection and implementation, as well as negotiations with other PRPs and governmental agencies.
As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, EnPro had an accrued liability of $37.2 million and $27.0 million, respectively, for probable future expenditures relating to environmental contingencies. In connection with the Distribution, the Company conducted a review of its process for managing and estimating environmental liabilities. As a result of changes in the Companys strategies growing out of this review, and in light of recent developments at a number of environmental sites associated with previously divested businesses, the accrued liability was increased in 2002 by $12.0 million to reflect an increase in the estimated costs to remediate these sites.
The amounts recorded in the financial statements have been recorded on an undiscounted basis. The Company believes that its reserves are adequate based on currently available information. Management believes that it is reasonably possible that additional costs may be incurred beyond the amounts accrued as a result of new information that may become available in the future. However, the amounts, if any, cannot be estimated and management believes that they would not be material to the Companys consolidated financial condition, but could be material to the Companys consolidated results of operations and cash flows in a given period.
Other Contingent Liability Matters
The Company has contingent liabilities related to divested businesses for which certain of its subsidiaries retained liability or are obligated under indemnity agreements. These contingent liabilities include, but are not limited to, potential product liability and associated claims related to the Companys former Colt Firearms subsidiary for firearms manufactured prior to its divestiture in 1990 and the Companys former Central Maloney subsidiary for electrical transformers manufactured prior to its divestiture in 1994. No material claims are currently pending against the Company related to Central Maloney. Colt Firearms has been named as a defendant in approximately 30 cases filed by municipalities seeking to recover costs arising from gun-related injuries. Many of these cases have been dismissed. Colt Firearms is seeking indemnification from Coltec for claims involving firearms manufactured prior to March 1990. The Company has rejected Colt Firearms claims in all instances on various legal grounds. The Company also has ongoing obligations with regard to workers compensation, retiree medical and other retiree benefit matters associated with discontinued operations that relate to the Companys periods of ownership of those operations. In 2002, Coltec paid approximately $22 million to satisfy judgments relating to these obligations. At December 31, 2002, the Company also had an outstanding contingent liability for guaranteed debt and lease payments of $21.8 million related to previously divested businesses.
At December 31, 2002, the Company was contingently liable for $0.5 million of letters of credit issued in the normal course of business.
The Company provides warranties on many of its products. The specific terms and conditions of these warranties vary depending on the product and the market in which the product is sold. The Company records a liability based upon estimates of the costs that may be incurred under its warranties after a review of historical warranty experience and information about specific warranty claims. Adjustments are made to the liability as claim data and historical experience warrant.

Changes in the carrying amount of the product warranty liability for the year ended December 31, 2002 are as follows:

Asbestos
HISTORY. Certain of the Companys subsidiaries, primarily Garlock Sealing Technologies, LLC (Garlock) and The Anchor Packing Company (Anchor), have been among a number of defendants (typically 15 to 40 and often more than 100) in actions filed in various states by plaintiffs alleging injury or death as a result of exposure to asbestos fibers. Except for claims against Garlock and Anchor, the number of claims to date has not been significant. Among the products at issue in these actions are industrial sealing products, predominantly gaskets and packing products, manufactured and/or sold by Garlock or Anchor. The damages claimed vary from action to action and in some cases plaintiffs seek both compensatory and punitive damages. To date, neither Garlock nor Anchor has been required to pay any punitive damage awards, although there can be no assurance that they will not be required to do so in the future. Liability for compensatory damages has historically been allocated among all responsible defendants, thus limiting the potential monetary impact of a particular judgment or settlement on any individual defendant. Since the first asbestos-related lawsuits were filed against Garlock in 1975, Garlock and Anchor have processed approximately 500,000 asbestos claims to conclusion (including judgments, settlements and dismissals) and, together with their insurers, have paid approximately $816 million in settlements and judgments at a cost in fees and expenses of an additional $272 million.
CLAIMS MIX. Of those claims resolved, approximately 2% have been claims of plaintiffs alleging the disease mesothelioma, approximately 6% have been claims of plaintiffs with lung or other cancers and approximately 92% have been claims of plaintiffs alleging asbestosis, pleural plaques or other impairment of the respiratory system of varying degree. Because the more serious disease cases tend to work through the system more quickly than the non-malignancy cases and the cases filed by those who are not impaired, the Company believes that the disease mix in our current open caseload, on a percentage basis, is even more skewed toward pleural plaques and includes a large number of claims made by plaintiffs who have suffered no disease and have no measurable impairment of any kind. In fact, while there are many cases in our current open caseload about which we have no disease information, we are only aware of approximately 7,000 that involve a claimant with mesothelioma, lung cancer or some other cancer.
PRODUCT DEFENSES. The Company believes that Garlock and Anchor are in a favorable position compared to many other asbestos defendants because, among other things, the asbestos-containing products formerly sold by Garlock and Anchor were encapsulated, which means the asbestos fibers were incorporated into the product during the manufacturing process and sealed in a binder. They are also nonfriable, which means they cannot be crumbled by hand pressure. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which began generally requiring warnings on asbestos-containing products in 1972, has never required that a warning be placed on products such as Garlocks gaskets. Notwithstanding that no warning label has been required, Garlock included one on all of its asbestos-containing products beginning in 1978. Further, gaskets such as those previously manufactured and sold by Garlock are one of the few asbestos-containing products still permitted to be manufactured under regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency. Since the mid-1980s, U.S. sales of asbestos-containing industrial sealing products have not been a material part of Garlocks sales and sales of asbestos-containing products since the mid-1980s have been predominantly to sophisticated purchasers such as the U.S. Navy and large petrochemical facilities. These purchasers generally have extensive health and safety procedures and are familiar with the risks associated with the use and handling of industrial sealing products that contain asbestos. Garlock discontinued distributing asbestos-containing products in the U.S. during 2000 and worldwide in mid-2001.
SETTLEMENTS. Garlock settles and disposes of actions on a regular basis. In addition, some actions are disposed of at trial. Garlocks historical settlement strategy has been to try to match the timing of payments with recoveries received from insurance, which, as described later, are currently limited to $80 million per year. However, in 1999 and 2000, Garlock implemented a short-term aggressive settlement strategy. The purpose of this short-term strategy was to achieve a permanent reduction in the number of overall asbestos claims through the settlement of a larger than normal number of claims, including some claims not yet filed as lawsuits. Mainly due to this short-term aggressive settlement strategy, but also because of a significant overall increase in claims filings, the settlement amounts paid in each of the years 1999 through 2002 were greater than the amounts paid in any year prior to 1999. In 2001, Garlock resumed its historical settlement strategy. In fact, Garlock reduced new settlement commitments from $180 million in 2000, to $94 million in 2001, and to $86 million in 2002. However, because of commitments made in 1999 and 2000 that will be paid over a number of years, the settlement amounts that Garlock will pay in 2003 through 2005 will continue to include amounts for settlements made during 1999, 2000 and early 2001.
52
Settlements are made without any admission of liability and are generally made on a group basis with payments made to individual claimants over a period of one to four years. Settlement amounts vary depending upon a number of factors, including the jurisdiction where the action was brought, the nature and extent of the disease alleged and the associated medical evidence, the age and occupation of the plaintiff, the presence or absence of other possible causes of the plaintiffs alleged illness, the availability of legal defenses, and whether the action is an individual one or part of a group. Garlock believes that its allocable portion of the total settlement amount for an action has typically ranged from 1% to 2% of the total amount paid by all defendants in the action.
Before any payment on a settled claim is made, the claimant is required to submit a medical report acceptable to Garlock substantiating the asbestos-related illness and meeting specific criteria of disability. In addition, sworn testimony or other evidence that the claimant worked with or around Garlock asbestos-containing products is required. The claimant is also required to sign a full and unconditional release of Garlock, its subsidiaries, parent, officers, directors, affiliates and related parties from any liability for asbestos-related injuries or claims.
When a settlement demand is not reasonable given the totality of the circumstances, Garlock generally will try the case. Garlock has been successful in winning a substantial majority of the cases it has tried to verdict. Garlocks share of adverse verdicts in these cases in the years 2000 through 2002 totaled approximately $6 million in the aggregate, and some of those verdicts are on appeal.
STATUS OF ANCHOR. Anchor is an inactive and insolvent indirect subsidiary of Coltec. The insurance coverage available to Anchor of approximately $9 million as of December 31, 2002, is fully committed. Anchor continues to pay settlement amounts covered by its insurance but has not committed to settle any further actions since 1998. As cases reach the trial stage, Anchor is typically dismissed without payment.
INSURANCE COVERAGE. The insurance coverage available to Garlock is substantial. As of December 31, 2002, Garlock had available $892 million of insurance coverage from carriers that it believes to be solvent. Garlock classifies $76 million of otherwise available insurance as insolvent. The amount of insurance classified as insolvent increased by $15 million during the year ended December 31, 2002, resulting from the filing of a petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code by the parent company of one of Garlocks insurers. In 2002, the Company wrote off receivables from this insurer totaling $6.2 million. The Company believes Garlock will recover some of the insolvent insurance over time. In fact, Garlock recovered $2 million from an insolvent insurance carrier during 2002. Of the solvent insurance, $708 million (79%) is with U.S.-based carriers whose credit rating by S&P is investment grade (BBB) or better, and whose AM Best rating is excellent (A-) or better, $59 million (7%) is with other solvent U.S. carriers and $126 million (14%) is with various solvent London market carriers. Of the $892 million, $151 million is allocated to claims that have been paid by Garlock and submitted to its insurance companies for reimbursement and $124 million has been committed to claim settlements not yet paid by Garlock. Thus, at December 31, 2002, $618 million remained available for future asbestos-related payments.
Arrangements with Garlocks insurance carriers limit the amount that can be received by it in any one year. The amount of insurance available to cover asbestos-related payments by Garlock currently is limited to $80 million per year. This limit automatically increases by 8% every three years. The next scheduled increase will impact recoveries beginning in the third quarter of 2003. Amounts paid by Garlock in excess of this annual limit that would otherwise be recoverable from insurance may be collected from the insurance companies in subsequent years so long as insurance is available, subject to the annual limit available in each subsequent year. As a result, Garlock is required to pay out of its own cash any amounts paid to settle or dispose of asbestos-related claims in excess of the annual limit and collect these amounts from its insurance carriers in subsequent years. To the extent that Garlock pays such amounts in a given year, these payments are recorded as a receivable. The amounts paid in excess of insurance recoveries in 2002 that were recorded as a receivable amounted to $34.4 million. Garlock is pursuing various options, such as raising the annual limit and commuting policies at discounted values, to ensure as close a match as possible between payments by Garlock and recoveries received from insurance carriers. There can be no assurance that Garlock will be successful as to any or all of these options.
Insurance coverage for asbestos claims is not available to cover exposures initially occurring on and after July 1, 1984. Garlock and Anchor continue to be named as defendants in new actions, a few of which allege initial exposure after July 1, 1984. To date no payments have been made with respect to these claims, pursuant to a settlement or otherwise. In addition, Garlock and Anchor believe that they have substantial defenses to these claims and therefore automatically reject them for settlement. However, there can be no assurance that any or all of these defenses will be successful in the future.
QUANTITATIVE CLAIMS INFORMATION. In accordance with internal procedures for the processing of asbestos product liability actions and due to the proximity to trial or settlement, certain outstanding actions against Garlock have progressed to a stage where the Company believes it can reasonably estimate the cost to dispose of these actions. These actions are classified as actions in advanced stages and are included in the table as such below. With respect to outstanding actions against Garlock that are in preliminary procedural stages, as well as any actions that may be filed in the future, the Company believes that insufficient information exists upon which judgments can be made as to the validity or ultimate disposition of such actions. Therefore, the Company
53
believes that it is impossible to estimate with any degree of accuracy or reasonableness what, if any, potential liability or costs may be incurred. Accordingly, the Company has not included any estimate of future liability for such claims in the table below.
The Company records an accrual for liabilities related to
Garlock and Anchor asbestos-related matters that are deemed
probable and can be reasonably estimated, which consist of settled claims and actions in advanced stages of processing. The
Company also records an asset for the amount of those liabilities that it expects Garlock and Anchor to recover from insurance. A table is provided below depicting quantitatively the
items discussed above.

(2) At December 31, 2002, included $157.1 million representing cumulative payments made for which Garlock has not received a corresponding insurance recovery due to the annual limit imposed under Garlocks insurance policies, and which will be recovered in future periods to the extent insurance is available. Also included at December 31, 2002, is $138.8 million representing amounts recoverable under insurance policies related to the estimated liability for settled claims and actions in advanced stages of processing. At December 31, 2002, $90.0 million was classified as a current asset and $205.9 million was classified as a non-current asset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. | ||
(3) Includes amounts with respect to all claims committed in the period, whether or not an action has actually been filed with a court of competent jurisdiction. At December 31, 2002, $78.9 million was classified as a current liability and $59.9 million was classified as a non-current liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. | ||
(4) Includes amounts with respect to all payments for claims settlements and expenses and recoveries made in the period. In 2002, 2001 and 2000, $34.4 million, $68.2 million and $29.4 million, respectively, of the net cash flow was added to the asbestos insurance receivable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and $18.0 million, $9.8 million and $9.3 million, respectively, was recorded as an expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
Considering the foregoing, as well as the experience of Coltecs
subsidiaries and other defendants in asbestos litigation, the
likely sharing of judgments among multiple responsible defendants, recent bankruptcies of other defendants, and legislative
efforts, and given the substantial amount of insurance coverage
that Garlock expects to be available from its solvent carriers, the
Company believes that pending actions against Garlock and
Anchor are not likely to have a material adverse effect on its
financial condition, but could be material to its results of operations or cash flows in a given period. The Company anticipates
that asbestos-related actions will continue to be filed against
Garlock. Because of the uncertainty as to the number and timing of potential future actions, as well as the amount that will
have to be paid to settle or satisfy any such actions in the future,
there can be no assurance that those future actions will not have
a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows.

(i) prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default that may have occurred:
(A) the duties and obligations of the Guarantee Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Guarantee Agreement, and the Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Guarantee Agreement; and
(B) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Guarantee Trustee, the Guarantee Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Guarantee Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Guarantee Agreement; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof or of the Trust Indenture Act are specifically required to be furnished to the Guarantee Trustee, the Guarantee Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Guarantee Agreement (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein);
(ii) the Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Guarantee Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Guarantee Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts upon which said judgment was made;
(iii) the Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a Majority in liquidation amount of the Trust relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Guarantee Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Guarantee Trustee under this Guarantee Agreement; and

(ii) Any direction or act of the Guarantor contemplated by this Guarantee Agreement shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers' Certificate unless otherwise prescribed herein.
(iii) Whenever, in the administration of this Guarantee Agreement, the Guarantee Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter relating to compliance by the Guarantor with any of its obligations contained in this Guarantee Agreement be proved or established before taking, suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, the Guarantee Trustee (unless other evidence is herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, request and conclusively rely upon an Officers' Certificate (with respect to the Guarantor) which, upon receipt of such request from the Guarantee Trustee, shall be promptly delivered by the Guarantor.
(iv) The Guarantee Trustee may consult with legal counsel of its selection, and the advice or written opinion of such legal counsel with respect to legal matters shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion. Such legal counsel may be legal counsel to the Guarantor or any of its Affiliates and may be one of its employees. The Guarantee Trustee shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Guarantee Agreement from any court of competent jurisdiction.
(v) The Guarantee Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Guarantee Agreement at the request or direction of any Holder, unless such Holder shall have provided to the Guarantee Trustee such security and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, against the costs, expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) and liabilities that might be incurred by it in complying with such request or direction, including such reasonable advances as may be requested by the Guarantee Trustee; provided that nothing contained in this Section 3.02(a)(v) shall be taken to relieve the Guarantee Trustee, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, of its obligation to exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Guarantee Agreement.

(viii) Whenever in the administration of this Guarantee Agreement the Guarantee Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive instructions with respect to enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other action hereunder, the Guarantee Trustee (A) may request instructions from the Holders, (B) may refrain from enforcing such remedy or right or taking such other action until such instructions are received and (C) shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with such instructions.
(b) No provision of this Guarantee Agreement shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Guarantee Trustee to perform any act or acts or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Guarantee Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform any such act or acts or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation. No permissive power or authority available to the Guarantee Trustee shall be construed to be a duty to act in accordance with such power and authority.
Section 3.03. Indemnity. The Guarantor agrees to indemnify each of the Guarantee Trustee, any predecessor Guarantee Trustee and its directors, officers, agents and employees for, and to hold them harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claim, liability or expense (including taxes other than taxes based upon the income of the Guarantee Trustee) incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Guarantee Trustee, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Guarantee Agreement, including the costs and reasonable expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

The Guarantor's obligation to make a Guarantee Payment may be satisfied by direct payment of the required amounts by the Guarantor to the Holders or by causing the Issuer to pay such amounts to the Holders. The Guarantor shall give written notice to the Guarantee Trustee as promptly as practicable in the event it makes any direct payment hereunder.
Section 5.02. Waiver of Notice and Demand. The Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of the Guarantee Agreement and, with respect to its obligations under Section 5.01, hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, any right to require a proceeding first against the Guarantee Trustee, Issuer or any other Person before proceeding against the Guarantor, protest, notice of nonpayment, notice of dishonor, notice of redemption and all other notices and demands.
Section 5.03. Obligations Not Affected. The obligations, covenants, agreements and duties of the Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement shall in no way be affected or impaired by reason of the happening from time to time of any of the following:
(a) the release or waiver, by operation of law or otherwise, of the performance or observance by the Issuer of any express or implied agreement, covenant, term or condition relating to the Trust Securities to be performed or observed by the Issuer;
(b) the extension of time for the payment by the Issuer of all or any portion of the Distributions (other than any extension of time for payment of Distributions that results from the extension of any interest payment period on the Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures as so provided in the Indenture), Redemption Price, Liquidation Distribution or any other sums payable under the terms of the Trust Securities or the extension of time for the performance of any other obligation under, arising out of, or in connection with, the Trust Securities;
(c) any failure, omission, delay or lack of diligence on the part of the Holders to enforce, assert or exercise any right, privilege, power or remedy conferred on the
Holders pursuant to the terms of the Trust Securities, or any action on the part of the Issuer granting indulgence or extension of any kind;
(d) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale of any collateral, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of debt of, or other similar proceedings affecting, the Issuer or any of the assets of the Issuer;
(e) any invalidity of, or defect or deficiency in, the Trust Securities;
(f) the settlement or compromise of any obligation guaranteed hereby or hereby incurred; or
(g) any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 5.03 that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances.
There shall be no obligation of the Holders to give notice to, or obtain the consent of, the Guarantor with respect to the happening of any of the foregoing.
Section 5.04. Rights of Holders. The Guarantor expressly acknowledges that: (i) this Guarantee Agreement will be deposited with the Guarantee Trustee to be held for the benefit of the Holders; (ii) the Guarantee Trustee has the right to enforce this Guarantee Agreement on behalf of the Holders; (iii) the Holders of a Majority in aggregate liquidation amount of the Trust Securities have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Guarantee Trustee in respect of this Guarantee Agreement or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Guarantee Trustee under this Guarantee Agreement; and (iv) any Holder may institute a legal proceeding directly against the Guarantor to enforce its rights under this Guarantee Agreement, without first instituting a legal proceeding against the Issuer or any other Person.
Section 5.05. Guarantee of Payment. This Guarantee Agreement creates a guarantee of payment and not of collection. If the Issuer fails to make payments as required, any Holder may immediately bring suit directly against the Guarantor for payment of all amounts due and payable under this Guarantee Agreement. This Guarantee Agreement will apply only to the extent that the Issuer has funds sufficient to make such payments. If Coltec Industries does not make interest payments on the Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures held by the Issuer, the Issuer will not be able to pay Distributions on the Trust Securities and will not have funds legally available therefor. This Guarantee Agreement will not be discharged except by payment of the Guarantee Payments in full (without duplication of amounts theretofore paid by the Issuer) or upon distribution of Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures to Holders as provided in the Declaration.
Section 5.06. Subrogation. The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all (if any) rights of the Holders against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid to the Holders by the Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement and shall have the right to waive payment by the
Issuer pursuant to Section 5.01; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not (except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of law) be entitled to enforce or exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation or any indemnity, reimbursement or other agreement, in all cases as a result of payment under this Guarantee Agreement, if at the time of any such payment, any amounts are due and unpaid under this Guarantee Agreement. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence, the Guarantor agrees to hold such amount in trust for the Holders and to pay over such amount to the Holders. Any amounts paid over to and not subsequently recovered from the Holders pursuant to any insolvency law shall be deemed to have been applied by the Holders to the Guarantee Payments.
Section 5.07. Independent Obligations. The Guarantor acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Issuer with respect to the Trust Securities and that the Guarantor shall (without duplication of amounts paid by or on behalf of the Issuer) be liable as principal and as debtor hereunder to make Guarantee Payments pursuant to the terms of this Guarantee Agreement notwithstanding the occurrence of any event referred to in subsections (a) through (g), inclusive, of Section 5.03 hereof.
ARTICLE VI
COVENANTS AND SUBORDINATION
Section 6.01. Subordination. This Guarantee Agreement will constitute an unsecured obligation of the Guarantor and will rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Senior Debt of the Guarantor.
Section 6.02. Pari Passu Guarantees. The obligations under this Guarantee Agreement shall rank pari passu with the obligations of the Guarantor relating to the BFG QUIPSSM and any similar guarantee agreements issued by the Guarantor on behalf of the holders of securities issued by a trust or similar entity created by the Guarantor and similar to Coltec Capital Trust, which securities have substantially equivalent terms to those of the Trust Securities.
ARTICLE VII
CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, CONVEYANCE, TRANSFER OR LEASE
Section 7.01. Guarantor May Consolidate, etc., Only on Certain Terms. The Guarantor shall not consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person or sell or lease its assets as, or substantially as, an entirety to any Person, unless:

(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have happened and be continuing; and
(c) the Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale or lease comply with this Article and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with.
ARTICLE VIII
TERMINATION
Section 8.01. Termination. This Guarantee Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon (i) full payment of the Redemption Price of all Trust Securities, (ii) the distribution of Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures to the Holders in exchange for all of the Trust Securities or (iii) full payment of the amounts payable in accordance with the Declaration upon liquidation of the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guarantee Agreement will continue to be effective or will be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any Holder must repay any sums paid with respect to Trust Securities or this Guarantee Agreement.
ARTICLE IX

ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2002 EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN
1. PURPOSE. The purpose of this Plan is to promote the interests of the shareholders by providing stock-based incentives to selected employees to align their interests with shareholders and to motivate them to put forth maximum efforts toward the continued growth, profitability and success of EnPro Industries, Inc. (the "Company"). In furtherance of this objective, stock options, performance shares, restricted shares, phantom shares, common stock of the Company ("Common Stock"), and/or other incentive awards may be granted in accordance with the provisions of this Plan. This Plan is subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company.
2. ADMINISTRATION. This Plan is to be administered by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee or any successor committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"). The Committee shall consist of at least three members who shall not be eligible to participate in this Plan. The Committee shall have full power and authority to construe, interpret and administer this Plan. All decisions, actions or interpretations of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties.
The Committee may delegate to the Chief Executive Officer and to other senior officers of the Company the authority to make awards under this Plan with respect to not more than ten percent of the shares authorized under this Plan, pursuant to such conditions and limitations as the Committee may establish, except that only the Committee may make awards to participants who are subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
3. SHARES AVAILABLE FOR THIS PLAN. Subject to Section 16 hereof, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that shall be available for delivery pursuant to the provisions of this Plan shall be equal to 3,600,000 shares of Common Stock. Such shares may be either authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares.
For purposes of calculating the number of shares of Common Stock available for delivery under this Plan, (i) the grant of a Performance Share Award (as defined in Section 8) or other unit or phantom share award shall be deemed to be equal to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the award and (ii) where the value of an award is variable on the date it is granted, the value shall be deemed to be the maximum limitation of the award. Awards payable solely in cash will not reduce the number of shares of Common Stock available for awards granted under this Plan.
If the exercise price of any stock option granted under this Plan is satisfied by tendering shares of Common Stock to the Company (by either actual delivery or by attestation), only the number of shares of Common Stock issued net of the shares of Common Stock tendered shall be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for delivery under this Plan.
Any shares awarded under this Plan that are not issued or otherwise are returned to the Company, whether because awards have been forfeited, lapsed, expired, been canceled, withheld to satisfy withholding tax obligations or otherwise, shall again be available for other awards under this Plan.
4. LIMITATION ON AWARDS. Subject to Section 16 hereof, (a) no
individual employee may receive awards under this Plan with respect to more than
500,000 shares in any calendar year, (b) the maximum number of shares of Common
Stock that may be issued pursuant to options designated as Incentive Stock
Options (as defined in Section 7) shall be 1,000,000 shares, (c) the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Performance
Share Awards (as defined in Section 8) and Other Awards (as defined in Section
11) shall be 1,000,000 shares, and (d) the maximum number of shares of Common
Stock that may be issued pursuant to Restricted Share Awards (as defined in
Section 10) shall be 150,000 shares.
5. TERM. No awards may be granted under this Plan after May 22, 2012.
6. ELIGIBILITY. Awards under this Plan may be made to any salaried, full-time employee of the Company or any subsidiary corporation of which more than 50% of the voting stock is owned by the Company. Directors who are not full-time employees are not eligible to participate.
7. STOCK OPTIONS. The Committee may, in its discretion, from time to
time grant to eligible employees options to purchase Common Stock, at a price
not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date
immediately preceding the date of grant (the "option price"), subject to the
conditions set forth in this Plan. Notwithstanding Section 27 hereof, in no
event may the Committee reduce the option price of any stock option grant after
it is made, except in connection with a Corporate Reorganization (as defined in
Section 16), nor may the Committee agree to exchange a new lower priced option
for an outstanding higher priced option.
The Committee, at the time of granting to any employee an option to purchase shares under this Plan, shall fix the terms and conditions upon which such option may be exercised, and may designate options as incentive stock options ("Incentive Stock Options") pursuant to Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue Code") or any other statutory stock option that may be permitted under the Internal Revenue Code from time to time, provided, however that (i) the date on which such options shall expire, if not exercised, may not be later than seven years after the date of grant of the option, (ii) the terms and conditions of Incentive Stock Options must be in accordance with the qualification requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and (iii) the provisions of any other statutory stock option permitted under the Internal Revenue Code must be consistent with applicable Internal Revenue Code requirements.
Within the foregoing limitations, the Committee shall have the authority in its discretion to specify all other terms and conditions relating to stock options, including but not limited to provisions for the exercise of options in installments, the time limits during which options may be exercised, and in lieu of payment in cash, the exercise in whole or in part of options by tendering Common Stock owned by the employee, valued at the fair market value on the date of exercise or other acceptable forms of consideration equal in value to the option price. The Committee may, in its discretion, issue rules or conditions with respect to utilization of Common Stock for all or part of the option price, including limitations on the pyramiding of shares.
8. PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARDS. The Committee may make awards ("Performance Share Awards") in Common Stock or phantom shares subject to conditions established by the Committee that may include attainment of specific Performance Objectives (as defined below). Performance Share Awards may include the awarding of additional shares upon attainment of the specified Performance Objectives. Any Restricted Share Award which is conditioned upon attainment of specific Performance Objectives shall have a minimum performance period of one year, except in the case of death, disability or retirement and except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 25.

10. RESTRICTED SHARES.

Any Restricted Share Award which is conditioned upon continued employment shall be conditioned upon continued employment for a minimum period of three years following the award, except in the case of death, disability or retirement and except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 25.
11. OTHER AWARDS. The Committee may make awards authorized under this Plan in units or phantom shares, the value of which is based, in whole or in part, on the value of Common Stock, in lieu of making such awards in Common Stock ("Other Awards"). The Committee may provide for Other Awards to be paid in cash, in Common Stock, or in a combination of both cash and Common Stock, under such terms and conditions as in its discretion it deems appropriate.
12. DEFERRED AWARDS. The Committee may permit recipients of awards to elect to defer receipt of such awards, either in cash or in Common Stock, under such terms and conditions that the Committee may prescribe. The Committee may authorize the Company to establish various trusts or make other arrangements with respect to any deferred awards.
13. FAIR MARKET VALUE. For all purposes of this Plan the fair market value of a share of Common Stock shall be the mean of the high and low prices of Common Stock on the relevant date (as of 4:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time) 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 such a sale was made.
14. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. The Committee may make such provisions as it, in its sole discretion, may deem appropriate with respect to the effect, if any, the termination of employment will have on any grants or awards under this Plan.
15. ASSIGNABILITY. Options and any related appreciation rights and other awards granted under this Plan shall not be transferable by the grantee 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.
16. CORPORATE REORGANIZATION. 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, (a "Corporate Reorganization"), the Committee or the Board may make such substitution or adjustments in the aggregate number and kind of shares reserved for issuance under this Plan, and the maximum limitation on the number of awards that may be granted to any participant, in the number, kind and option price of shares subject to outstanding stock options, in the number and kind of shares subject to other outstanding awards granted under this Plan 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 any award shall always be a whole number.
17. COMMITTEE'S DETERMINATION. The Committee's determinations under this Plan including without limitation, determinations of the employees to receive awards or grants, the form, amount and timing of such awards or grants, the terms and provisions of such awards or grants and the agreements evidencing same, and the establishment of Performance Objectives need not be uniform and may be made by the Committee selectively among employees who receive, or are eligible to receive awards or grants under this Plan whether or not such employees are similarly situated. The Committee may, with the consent of the participant, modify any determination it previously made.
18. LEAVE OF ABSENCE OR OTHER CHANGE IN EMPLOYMENT STATUS. The Committee shall be entitled to make such rules, regulations and determinations as it deems appropriate under this Plan in respect of any leave of absence taken by an employee or any other change in employment status, such as a change from full time employment to a consulting relationship, of an employee relative to any grant or award. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall be entitled to determine (i) whether or not any such leave of absence or other change in employment status shall constitute a termination of employment within the meaning of
this Plan and (ii) the impact, if any, of any such leave of absence or other change in employment status on awards under this Plan theretofore made to any employee who takes such leave of absence or otherwise changes his or her employment status.
19. WITHHOLDING TAXES. The Committee or its designee shall 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 Common Stock or other amounts which would otherwise be payable under this Plan.
20. RETENTION OF SHARES. If shares of Common Stock are awarded subject to attainment of Performance Objectives, continued service with the Company or other conditions, the shares may be registered in the employees' names when initially awarded, but possession of certificates for the shares shall be retained by the Secretary of the Company for the benefit of the employees, or shares may be registered in book entry form only, in both cases subject to the terms of this Plan and the conditions of the particular awards.
21. DIVIDENDS AND VOTING. The Committee may permit each participant to receive or accrue dividends and other distributions made with respect to such awards under such terms and conditions as in its discretion it deems appropriate. With respect to shares actually issued, the Committee under such terms and conditions as in its discretion it deems appropriate, may permit the participant to vote or execute proxies with respect to such registered shares.
22. FORFEITURE OF AWARDS. Any awards or parts thereof made under this Plan which are subject to Performance Objectives or other conditions which are not satisfied, shall be forfeited, and any shares of Common Stock issued shall revert to the Treasury of the Company.
23. CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in this Plan or in any agreement entered into pursuant to this Plan shall confer upon any employee the right to continue in the employment of the Company or affect any right which the Company may have to terminate the employment of such employee.
24. CHANGE IN CONTROL. For purposes of this Plan, a "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 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 (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 Effective Date, constitute the Board (the "Incumbent Board"), cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the Effective 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 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.
25. EFFECT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event of a Change in Control, options and any related appreciation rights that are not then exercisable shall become immediately exercisable, and, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan or any award agreement, shall remain exercisable for no less than the shorter of (i) two years or (ii) the remainder of the full term of the option or appreciation right. The Committee may make such provision with respect to other awards under this Plan as it deems appropriate in its discretion.
26. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan, the issuance or delivery of any shares may be postponed for such period as may be required to comply with any applicable requirements of any national securities exchange or any requirements under any other law or regulation applicable to the issuance or delivery of such shares, and the Company shall not be obligated to issue or deliver any such shares if the issuance or delivery thereof shall constitute a violation of any provision of any law or any regulation of any governmental authority, whether foreign or domestic, or any national securities exchange.
27. AMENDMENT. The Board of Directors of the Company may alter or amend this Plan, in whole or in part, from time to time, or terminate this Plan at any time; provided, however, that no such action shall adversely affect any rights or obligations with respect to awards previously made under this Plan unless the action is taken in order to comply with applicable law, stock exchange rules or accounting rules; and, provided, further, that no amendment which has the effect of increasing the number of shares subject to this Plan (other than in connection with a Corporate Reorganization) shall be made without the approval of the Company's shareholders.

"Non-Employee Directors" means members of the Board who are not employees of the Company or any affiliate of the Company.
"Participant" means any Non-Employee Director who makes an election to participate in the Plan in accordance with Section 5. Participant shall also include any former Non-Employee Director who continues to have an Account maintained under the Plan.
"Plan" is defined in Section 1 as this plan: the EnPro Industries, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, as the same may be amended from time to time.
"Plan Administrator" means a committee consisting of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and two other officers of the Company selected by him.
"Plan Year" means a calendar year, provided that the first Plan Year shall commence on the effective date of the Plan and end on December 31, 2002.
"Retainer" means the cash portion of the annual retainer paid by the Company to a Non-
Employee Director, and does not include the portion of the annual retainer (if any) paid in the form of "Performance Shares."
3. ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be administered by the Plan Administrator. In that regard, the Plan Administrator shall be empowered to interpret the provisions of the Plan and to perform and exercise all of the duties and powers granted to it under the terms of the Plan. The Plan Administrator may adopt such rules and regulations for the administration of the 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 Plan Administrator with respect to the Plan shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties having or claiming to have an interest under the Plan. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Plan Administrator shall have the discretion to decide any factual or interpretative issues that may arise in connection with its administration of the Plan (including without limitation any determination as to claims for benefits hereunder), and the Plan Administrator's exercise of such discretion shall be conclusive and binding on all affected parties as long as it is not arbitrary or capricious. The Plan Administrator may delegate any of its duties and powers hereunder to the extent permitted by applicable law.
4. PARTICIPATION. Each Non-Employee shall become a Participant in the Plan by filing the written Election Form described in Section 5 with the Plan Administrator with respect to Retainers and Meeting Fees payable to the Non-Employee Director for such Non-Employee Director's services as a member of the Board. If a person ceases to be a Non-Employee Director but continues to serve as a Director, the person shall no longer be eligible to make deferral elections under the Plan.
5. DEFERRAL ELECTIONS.
(a) Elections to Defer. Each Participant may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of such Participant's Retainer and Meeting Fees at such times and pursuant to such procedures as set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section 5, such amounts to be credited to an Account as described in Section 6 and to become payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.
(b) Form and Timing of Elections. To be effective, elections to defer all or any portion of the Retainer or Meeting Fees for a Plan Year must be made on such form and pursuant to such procedures as the Plan Administrator may establish from time to time. The election must be made prior to the start of the applicable Plan Year or at such other times as the Plan Administrator may determine (consistent with the purpose of the Plan set forth in Section 1). An election to defer for a Plan Year shall continue in effect for each subsequent Plan Year unless revoked or modified by the Participant in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Administrator.
6. ESTABLISHMENT OF AND ADJUSTMENT OF ACCOUNTS. The Company shall establish and maintain an Account for each Participant. Each Account shall be maintained on the books of the Company until full payment of the balance thereof has been made to the applicable Participant (or the beneficiaries of a deceased Participant). No funds shall be set aside
or earmarked for any Account, which shall be purely a bookkeeping device. An amount deferred by a Participant pursuant to Section 5 shall be credited to the Participant's Account as of the date it would otherwise have been paid to the Participant. Until the entire balance of a Participant's Account has been paid to the Participant, or to the beneficiaries of the deceased Participant, such balance shall be increased on the last day of each calendar quarter so that the level of investment return of the Account shall be substantially equal to the ask yield of the most recent auction of 10-year Treasury bonds, as quoted for the last business day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter in the Wall Street Journal (Eastern Edition) (or other financial publication as the Plan Administrator may select). The Plan Administrator may, from time to time, change prospectively the rate of adjustment applied with respect to Participants' Accounts.
7. PAYMENT.
(a) Payment Options. At the time a Participant first makes an election
to defer a Retainer or Meeting Fees under the Plan, the Participant shall be
given the opportunity to elect one of the following payment options: (i) a
single cash payment, (ii) annual installments over a period of five years, or
(iii) annual installments over a period of ten years. A Participant's payment
election shall be made on the election form used by the Participant for making
such Participant's initial deferral election. Such election shall be effective
with respect to all payments of Retainers and Meeting Fees deferred under the
Plan by the Participant. If a Participant fails to duly elect a payment option,
the method of payment shall be a single cash payment. After the initial deferral
election, a Participant may elect one of the other payment options listed above
on such form and pursuant to such procedures as established by the Plan
Administrator from time to time, provided that any such election may not become
effective until at least six (6) months after the election is made and only if
the Participant continues to serve as a Director through such effective date.
Only one new payment election may be submitted during any Plan Year. Upon
becoming effective, the new payment election shall apply with respect to all
amounts deferred under the Plan by the Participant, including amounts deferred
under the Plan before the election became effective.
(b) Single Cash Payment. If a Participant to whom the single cash payment applies terminates service as a member of the Board, such Participant's Account shall continue to be adjusted under Section 6 through the end of the Plan Year in which such termination occurs. The final balance of the Participant's Account as of such date shall be paid in a single cash payment to the Participant (or to the Participant's designated beneficiary if the Participant dies prior to distribution of such Participant's Account) by January 31 of the following Plan Year.
(c) Annual Installments. If a Participant to whom an annual installment payment election applies terminates service as a member of the Board, the amount of such annual installments shall be calculated and paid as provided in this paragraph (c). The Participant's Account shall be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 through the last day of the Plan Year in which the termination of services occurs. The amount of the annual installments shall then be calculated, based on the Account balance as such date, as equal annual installments amortized over the selected 5 or 10 year period using for such purpose the ask yield of the auction of 10-year Treasury bonds closest to the end of the Plan Year in which the termination of
services occurs, as quoted for the last business day of the Plan Year in the Wall Street Journal (Eastern Edition) (or other financial publication as the Plan Administrator may select). The first installment shall be paid by January 31 of the Plan Year immediately following the Plan Year in which such termination occurs, and each subsequent annual installment shall be paid by January 31 of each subsequent Plan Year. In the event of the Participant's death before all annual installments have been paid, any remaining annual installments shall be paid to the Participant's designated beneficiary.
(d) Other Payment Provisions. Subject to the provisions Section 8, a Participant shall not be paid any portion of the Participant's Account prior to the Participant's termination of service as a member of the Board. Any payment hereunder shall be subject to applicable withholding taxes. If any amount becomes payable under the provisions of the Plan to a Participant, beneficiary or other person who is a minor or an incompetent, whether or not declared incompetent by a court, such amount may be paid directly to the minor or incompetent person or to such person's legal representative (or attorney-in-fact in the case of an incompetent) as the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may decide, and the Plan Administrator shall not be liable to any person for any such decision or any payment pursuant thereto. Participants shall designate a beneficiary under the Plan on a form furnished by the Plan Administrator, and if a Participant does not have a beneficiary designation in effect, the designated beneficiary shall be the Participant's estate.
(e) Account Statements. Each Participant shall receive an annual statement of the balance in the Participant's Account.
8. TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT. The Board may terminate the Plan at any time so that no further amounts shall be credited to Accounts or may, from time to time, amend the Plan, without the consent of Participants or beneficiaries; provided, however, that no such amendment or termination shall reduce the amount actually credited to a Participant's Account under the Plan on the date of such amendment or termination or further defer the due dates for the payment of such amounts without the consent of the affected Participant or beneficiary. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in connection with any termination of the Plan the Board shall have the authority to cause the Accounts of all Participants to be paid in a single cash payment as of a date determined by the Board or to otherwise accelerate the payment of Accounts in such manner as the Board shall determine in its discretion.
9. APPLICABLE LAW. The Plan shall be construed, administered, regulated and governed in all respects under and by the laws of the United States to the extent applicable, and to the extent such laws are not applicable, by the laws of the state of North Carolina.
10. MISCELLANEOUS. A Participant's rights and interests under the Plan may not be assigned or transferred by the Participant. The Plan shall be an unsecured, unfunded arrangement. To the extent the Participant acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. The Company shall not be required to segregate any amounts credited
to any Accounts, which shall be established merely as an accounting convenience. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create a trust of any kind or any fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant. The Plan shall be binding on the Company and any successor in interest of the Company.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this instrument has been executed by an authorized officer of the Company as of the 1st day of June, 2002.

ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC.
OUTSIDE DIRECTORS' PHANTOM SHARE PLAN
1. PURPOSE; EFFECTIVE DATE. The purpose of this Plan is to promote the interests of the shareholders by providing for payment of a portion of the annual retainer to non-employee directors in the form of stock-based incentives to align their interests with shareholders and to motivate them toward the continued growth, profitability and success of EnPro Industries, Inc. (the "Company"). In furtherance of this objective, members of the Board of Directors of the Company, except employees or former employees of the Company or its subsidiaries within five years of their termination of employment who are Directors ("Outside Directors"), shall receive annual grants of phantom shares ("Phantom Shares") (each Phantom Share to equal the fair market value of one share of Company common stock) equal in value to $20,000 on each Grant Date (as defined in Section 2 below) beginning on the first such date after the Outside Director first became eligible to participate in the Plan and continuing thereafter through the tenth year of service as a Director. No further awards of Phantom Shares shall be made following such ten-year period. In addition, Outside Directors shall receive a one-time grant of 5,445 Phantom Shares upon the adoption of this Plan, which amount is equal in value to $30,000 using the price at which the Company first granted stock options to its management ($5.51 per share). For Outside Directors first elected to the Board of Directors following the adoption of this Plan, such Outside Directors shall receive a one-time grant of Phantom Shares equal in value to $30,000 upon their election to the Board of Directors.
This Plan shall be effective as of the date of its adoption by the Board of Directors.
2. ANNUAL AWARDS. Outside Directors shall receive an annual grant of Phantom Shares equal in value to $20,000. Such grants shall take place at the first meeting of the Board of Directors each year or, if earlier, the date in each year when stock options are granted to the Company's management (the "Grant Date"). Outside Directors shall receive annual grants commencing in the year following their election to the Board and continue through their tenth year of service as a Director. In addition, Outside Directors shall receive a one-time grant of 5,445 Phantom Shares upon the adoption of this Plan by the Board of Directors of the Company. For Outside Directors first elected to the Board of Directors following the adoption of this Plan, such Outside Directors shall receive a one-time grant of Phantom Shares equal in value to $30,000 upon their initial election to the Board of Directors.
3. DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS ON AWARDS. Dividend equivalents will be accrued on all Phantom Shares granted under this Plan. Upon the payment date of each dividend declared on the Company's common stock, that number of additional Phantom Shares will be credited to each Outside Directors' account which is equivalent in value to the aggregate amount of dividends which would be paid if the number of Phantom Shares credited to each Outside Directors' account were actual shares of the Company's common stock. Dividend equivalents shall be vested at the time the dividend is paid.
4. VESTING. Phantom Shares shall be fully vested upon granting.
5. PAYMENT FOR PHANTOM SHARES. Upon termination of service of an Outside Director as a member of the Company's Board of Directors (the "termination date"), the Company shall pay to the Outside Director the fair market value of all Phantom Shares credited to the Outside Director on the termination date in cash, subject to applicable withholding taxes, as follows:
(a) The value of each Outside Directors' account shall be paid in 12 installments commencing on the first day of the month coincident with or next following the Directors termination date, and on the first day of the next 11 months thereafter (each an "installment date").
(b) Each installment shall equal a fractional amount of each Outside Directors' account, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is equal to the number of months remaining between the installment date and 12 months after the first installment date.
6. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. For all purposes of this Plan, the fair market value for the Company's common stock and Phantom Shares shall be the mean of the high and low prices of the Company's common stock on the date immediately preceding the date of grant 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 such sale was made; provided, however, that with respect to any grant of Phantom Shares during 2002, the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock shall be $5.51 per share.
7. TRANSFER OF PHANTOM SHARES RESTRICTED. No award of Phantom Shares shall be assignable or transferable by the Outside Directors, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
8. ADJUSTMENTS FOR CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS. The number of Phantom Shares credited to an Outside Directors' account shall be adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, reorganization, or other change in the structure of the Company or the nature of the Company's common stock (the "event") in the same manner as the event affects the Company's common stock.
9. AMENDMENTS. The Board of Directors may alter or amend this Plan, in whole or in part, from time to time, or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however, no such action shall adversely affect any rights or obligations with respect to awards of Phantom Shares previously made under the Plan, without consent of the individual Outside Director whose Phantom Shares are affected.

EXHIBIT 10.21
MANAGEMENT CONTINUITY AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT dated as of this 1st day of August, 2002 between Ernest F. Schaub (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.
"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 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:

(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.

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).

(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, Defined Benefit Restoration Plan, Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, pension 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:
(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 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) If Executive is under age 55, or over the age of 55 but not eligible to retire, at the Date of Termination the Company shall maintain in full force and effect, for Executive's continued benefit, for the Payment Period, all health and welfare benefit plans and programs or arrangements in which Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination (or such other comparable plans, programs or arrangements that provide, in the aggregate, benefits which have an economic value at least as favorable to Executive as those plans, programs and arrangements in which Executive participated prior to the Date of Termination), as long as Executive's continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of such plans and programs. In the event that Executive's participation in any such plan or program is barred or modified, the Company shall provide Executive with benefits substantially similar to those to which Executive would have been entitled to receive under such plans and programs, had Executive continued to participate in them as an Executive of the Company plus an amount in cash equal to the amount necessary to cause the amount of the aggregate after-tax compensation and employee benefits Executive receive 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. If Executive is age 55 or over and eligible to retire on the Date of Termination, the Company shall provide
Executive with those health and welfare benefits to which Executive would be 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 benefits would be at least equal to those which would have been payable if Executive had been eligible to retire and had retired immediately prior to the Change in Control.
(e) The Company shall for the Payment Period continue, and Executive shall be entitled to receive fringe benefit programs, perquisites, and similar arrangements (which, by way of illustration and not limitation, shall include: company car, health, dining and country club memberships, financial planning services, telecommunications services, home security systems and the like) which in the aggregate have an economic value at least as favorable to Executive as those Executive was entitled to receive or participate in 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:
(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.
(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 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.
(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;
provided, 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 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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.

EXHIBIT 10.22
MANAGEMENT CONTINUITY AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT dated as of this 1st day of August, 2002 between Michael J. Leslie (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 (30) 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 (30) 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 (30) 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.
"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.

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 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.

(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

(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 (30) 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 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, Defined Benefit Restoration Plan, Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, pension 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:
(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 would have received if he
had continued in the employment of the Company during the
Payment Period), twenty (20) 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) If Executive is under age 55, or over the age of 55 but not eligible to retire, at the Date of Termination the Company shall maintain in full force and effect, for Executive's continued benefit, for the Payment Period, all health and welfare benefit plans and programs or arrangements in which Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination (or such other comparable plans, programs or arrangements that provide, in the aggregate, benefits which have an economic value at least as favorable to Executive as those plans, programs and arrangements in which Executive participated prior to the Date of Termination), as long as Executive's continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of such plans and programs. In the event that Executive's participation in any such plan or program is barred or modified, the Company shall provide Executive with benefits substantially similar to those to which Executive would have been entitled to receive under such plans and programs, had Executive continued to participate in them as an Executive of the Company plus an amount in cash equal to the amount necessary to cause the amount of the aggregate after-tax compensation and employee benefits Executive receive 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. If Executive is age 55 or over and eligible to retire on the Date of Termination, the Company shall provide
Executive with those health and welfare benefits to which Executive would be 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 benefits would be at least equal to those which would have been payable if Executive had been eligible to retire and had retired immediately prior to the Change in Control.
(e) The Company shall for the Payment Period continue, and Executive shall be entitled to receive fringe benefit programs, perquisites, and similar arrangements (which, by way of illustration and not limitation, shall include: company car, health, dining and country club memberships, financial planning services, telecommunications services, home security systems and the like) which in the aggregate have an economic value at least as favorable to Executive as those Executive was entitled to receive or participate in 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:
(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.
(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 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.
(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;
provided, 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 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.
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.

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

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 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.

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.
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.

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.

EXHIBIT 10.23
MANAGEMENT CONTINUITY AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT dated as of this 1st day of August, 2002 between William Dries (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.
"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 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.

(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.

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 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, Defined Benefit Restoration Plan, Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, pension 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:
(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 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) If Executive is under age 55, or over the age of 55 but not eligible to retire, at the Date of Termination the Company shall maintain in full force and effect, for Executive's continued benefit, for the Payment Period, all health and welfare benefit plans and programs or arrangements in which Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination (or such other comparable plans, programs or arrangements that provide, in the aggregate, benefits which have an economic value at least as favorable to Executive as those plans, programs and arrangements in which Executive participated prior to the Date of Termination), as long as Executive's continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of such plans and programs. In the event that Executive's participation in any such plan or program is barred or modified, the Company shall provide Executive with benefits substantially similar to those to which Executive would have been entitled to receive under such plans and programs, had Executive continued to participate in them as an Executive of the Company plus an amount in cash equal to the amount necessary to cause the amount of the aggregate after-tax compensation and employee benefits Executive receive 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. If Executive is age 55 or over and eligible to retire on the Date of Termination, the Company shall provide
Executive with those health and welfare benefits to which Executive would be 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 benefits would be at least equal to those which would have been payable if Executive had been eligible to retire and had retired immediately prior to the Change in Control.
(e) The Company shall for the Payment Period continue, and Executive shall be entitled to receive fringe benefit programs, perquisites, and similar arrangements (which, by way of illustration and not limitation, shall include: company car, health, dining and country club memberships, financial planning services, telecommunications services, home security systems and the like) which in the aggregate have an economic value at least as favorable to Executive as those Executive was entitled to receive or participate in 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:
(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.
(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 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.
(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;
provided, 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 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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.

EXHIBIT 10.24
MANAGEMENT CONTINUITY AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT dated as of this 1st day of August, 2002 between Richard C. Driscoll (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 (30) 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 (30) 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 (30) 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.
"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 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.

(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

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 (30) 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).

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, Defined Benefit Restoration Plan, Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, pension 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:
(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 would have received if he
had continued in the employment of the Company during the
Payment Period), twenty (20) 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) If Executive is under age 55, or over the age of 55 but not eligible to retire, at the Date of Termination the Company shall maintain in full force and effect, for Executive's continued benefit, for the Payment Period, all health and welfare benefit plans and programs or arrangements in which Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination (or such other comparable plans, programs or arrangements that provide, in the aggregate, benefits which have an economic value at least as favorable to Executive as those plans, programs and arrangements in which Executive participated prior to the Date of Termination), as long as Executive's continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of such plans and programs. In the event that Executive's participation in any such plan or program is barred or modified, the Company shall provide Executive with benefits substantially similar to those to which Executive would have been entitled to receive under such plans and programs, had Executive continued to participate in them as an Executive of the Company plus an amount in cash equal to the amount necessary to cause the amount of the aggregate after-tax compensation and employee benefits Executive receive 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. If Executive is age 55 or over and eligible to retire on the Date of Termination, the Company shall provide
Executive with those health and welfare benefits to which Executive would be 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 benefits would be at least equal to those which would have been payable if Executive had been eligible to retire and had retired immediately prior to the Change in Control.
(e) The Company shall for the Payment Period continue, and Executive shall be entitled to receive fringe benefit programs, perquisites, and similar arrangements (which, by way of illustration and not limitation, shall include: company car, health, dining and country club memberships, financial planning services, telecommunications services, home security systems and the like) which in the aggregate have an economic value at least as favorable to Executive as those Executive was entitled to receive or participate in 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:
(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.
(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 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.
(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;
provided, 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 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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.

MANAGEMENT CONTINUITY AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT dated as of this 1st day of August, 2002 between Richard L. Magee (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.
"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

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.

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 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.

(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

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 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, Defined Benefit Restoration Plan, Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, pension 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:
(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 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) If Executive is under age 55, or over the age of 55 but not eligible to retire, at the Date of Termination the Company shall maintain in full force and effect, for Executive's continued benefit, for the Payment Period, all health and welfare benefit plans and programs or arrangements in which Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination (or such other comparable plans, programs or arrangements that provide, in the aggregate, benefits which have an economic value at least as favorable to Executive as those plans, programs and arrangements in which Executive participated prior to the Date of Termination), as long as Executive's continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of such plans and programs. In the event that Executive's participation in any such plan or program is barred or modified, the Company shall provide Executive with benefits substantially similar to those to which Executive would have been entitled to receive under such plans and programs, had Executive continued to participate in them as an Executive of the Company plus an amount in cash equal to the amount necessary to cause the amount of the aggregate after-tax compensation and employee benefits Executive receive 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. If Executive is age 55 or over and eligible to retire on the Date of Termination, the Company shall provide
Executive with those health and welfare benefits to which Executive would be 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 benefits would be at least equal to those which would have been payable if Executive had been eligible to retire and had retired immediately prior to the Change in Control.
(e) The Company shall for the Payment Period continue, and Executive
shall be entitled to receive fringe benefit programs, perquisites, and similar
arrangements (which, by way of illustration and not limitation, shall include:
company car, health, dining and country club memberships, financial planning
services, telecommunications services, home security systems and the like) which
in the aggregate have an economic value at least as favorable to Executive as
those Executive was entitled to receive or participate in 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:
(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.
(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 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.
(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;
provided, 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 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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.

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.

BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION
I hereby designate the following person(s) as a beneficiary for the purposes of
Section 6(b)(iv) to the extent of the percentage interest listed next to their
name:
MANAGEMENT CONTINUITY AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT dated as of this 1st day of August, 2002 between Timothy P. O'Reilly (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 twenty-four (24) 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 twenty-four (24) 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 twenty-four (24) 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.
"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 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 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

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 twenty-four (24) 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 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, Defined Benefit Restoration Plan, Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, pension 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:
(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 would have received if he
had continued in the employment of the Company during the
Payment Period), sixteen (16) 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) If Executive is under age 55, or over the age of 55 but not eligible to retire, at the Date of Termination the Company shall maintain in full force and effect, for Executive's continued benefit, for the Payment Period, all health and welfare benefit plans and programs or arrangements in which Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination (or such other comparable plans, programs or arrangements that provide, in the aggregate, benefits which have an economic value at least as favorable to Executive as those plans, programs and arrangements in which Executive participated prior to the Date of Termination), as long as Executive's continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of such plans and programs. In the event that Executive's participation in any such plan or program is barred or modified, the Company shall provide Executive with benefits substantially similar to those to which Executive would have been entitled to receive under such plans and programs, had Executive continued to participate in them as an Executive of the Company plus an amount in cash equal to the amount necessary to cause the amount of the aggregate after-tax compensation and employee benefits Executive receive 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. If Executive is age 55 or over and eligible to retire on the Date of Termination, the Company shall provide
Executive with those health and welfare benefits to which Executive would be 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 benefits would be at least equal to those which would have been payable if Executive had been eligible to retire and had retired immediately prior to the Change in Control.
(e) The Company shall for the Payment Period continue, and Executive
shall be entitled to receive fringe benefit programs, perquisites, and similar
arrangements (which, by way of illustration and not limitation, shall include:
company car, health, dining and country club memberships, financial planning
services, telecommunications services, home security systems and the like) which
in the aggregate have an economic value at least as favorable to Executive as
those Executive was entitled to receive or participate in 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:
(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:

(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.
(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 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.
(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;
provided, 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 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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.

BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION
I hereby designate the following person(s) as a beneficiary for the purposes of
Section 6(b)(iv) to the extent of the percentage interest listed next to their
name:
MANAGEMENT CONTINUITY AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT dated as of this 1st day of August, 2002 between Donald G. Pomeroy II (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 eighteen (18) 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 eighteen (18) 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 eighteen (18) 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.
"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 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

(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.

"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 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

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 eighteen (18) 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).

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.

(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:
(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 would have received if he
had continued in the employment of the Company during the
Payment Period), twelve (12) 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) If Executive is under age 55, or over the age of 55 but not eligible to retire, at the Date of Termination the Company shall maintain in full force and effect, for Executive's continued benefit, for the Payment Period, all health and welfare benefit plans and programs or arrangements in which Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination (or such other comparable plans, programs or arrangements that provide, in the aggregate, benefits which have an economic value at least as favorable to Executive as those plans, programs and arrangements in which Executive participated prior to the Date of Termination), as long as Executive's continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of such plans and programs. In the event that Executive's participation in any such plan or program is barred or modified, the Company shall provide Executive with benefits substantially similar to those to which Executive would have been entitled to receive under such plans and programs, had Executive continued to participate in them as an Executive of the Company plus an amount in cash equal to the amount necessary to cause the amount of the aggregate after-tax compensation and employee benefits Executive receive 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. If Executive is age 55 or over and eligible to retire on the Date of Termination, the Company shall provide
Executive with those health and welfare benefits to which Executive would be 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 benefits would be at least equal to those which would have been payable if Executive had been eligible to retire and had retired immediately prior to the Change in Control.
(e) The Company shall for the Payment Period continue, and Executive
shall be entitled to receive fringe benefit programs, perquisites, and similar
arrangements (which, by way of illustration and not limitation, shall include:
company car, health, dining and country club memberships, financial planning
services, telecommunications services, home security systems and the like) which
in the aggregate have an economic value at least as favorable to Executive as
those Executive was entitled to receive or participate in 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:
(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.
(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 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.
(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;
provided, 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 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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
EXHIBIT 2
BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION
I hereby designate the following person(s) as a beneficiary for the purposes of
Section 6(b)(iv) to the extent of the percentage interest listed next to their
name:
MANAGEMENT CONTINUITY AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT dated as of this 1st day of August, 2002 between Robert D. Rehley (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 eighteen (18) 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 eighteen (18) 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 eighteen (18) 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).

(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.

(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

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 eighteen (18) 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 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, Defined Benefit Restoration Plan, Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, pension 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:
(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 would have received if he
had continued in the employment of the Company during the
Payment Period), twelve (12) 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) If Executive is under age 55, or over the age of 55 but not eligible to retire, at the Date of Termination the Company shall maintain in full force and effect, for Executive's continued benefit, for the Payment Period, all health and welfare benefit plans and programs or arrangements in which Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination (or such other comparable plans, programs or arrangements that provide, in the aggregate, benefits which have an economic value at least as favorable to Executive as those plans, programs and arrangements in which Executive participated prior to the Date of Termination), as long as Executive's continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of such plans and programs. In the event that Executive's participation in any such plan or program is barred or modified, the Company shall provide Executive with benefits substantially similar to those to which Executive would have been entitled to receive under such plans and programs, had Executive continued to participate in them as an Executive of the Company plus an amount in cash equal to the amount necessary to cause the amount of the aggregate after-tax compensation and employee benefits Executive receive 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. If Executive is age 55 or over and eligible to retire on the Date of Termination, the Company shall provide
Executive with those health and welfare benefits to which Executive would be 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 benefits would be at least equal to those which would have been payable if Executive had been eligible to retire and had retired immediately prior to the Change in Control.
(e) The Company shall for the Payment Period continue, and Executive
shall be entitled to receive fringe benefit programs, perquisites, and similar
arrangements (which, by way of illustration and not limitation, shall include:
company car, health, dining and country club memberships, financial planning
services, telecommunications services, home security systems and the like) which
in the aggregate have an economic value at least as favorable to Executive as
those Executive was entitled to receive or participate in 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:
(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.
(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 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.
(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;
provided, 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 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.
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.

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.

1. Death Benefits. In the event that Executive dies prior to the date of Executive's termination of employment with the Company, the Company shall pay to Executive's beneficiary a lump sum cash payment equal to Five Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,100,000). This lump sum amount, less any applicable payroll or withholding taxes, shall be paid to the beneficiary within sixty (60) days following the date of death.
2. Beneficiary. Executive may designate a beneficiary for purposes of
receiving benefits under this Agreement in accordance with such procedures as
the Company may establish from time to time. In the event Executive fails to
designate a beneficiary, or if Executive's designated beneficiary fails to
survive Executive, then the beneficiary for purposes of this Agreement shall be
(i) Executive's spouse or (ii) if there is no surviving spouse, Executive's
estate.
3. Replacement of Death Benefits Under SERP and Restoration Plan. The death benefits provided under this Agreement shall be in lieu of any death benefits otherwise payable by reason of Executive's participation in the EnPro Industries, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "SERP") or the EnPro Industries, Inc. Defined Benefit Restoration Plan (the "Restoration Plan"). Accordingly, subject to the payment of the death benefits hereunder, Executive, on behalf of himself and his beneficiaries, heirs, personal representatives and any other persons or entities claiming by or through Executive, hereby waives any claim to any death benefits under the SERP or the Restoration Plan.
4. Claims Procedures.
(a) General. In the event that Executive's beneficiary has a Claim under this Agreement, such Claim shall be made by the beneficiary's filing a notice thereof with the Company's Benefits Committee (the "Committee") within ninety (90) days after the beneficiary first has knowledge of such Claim. Once the beneficiary has submitted a Claim to the Committee, the beneficiary shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to state the beneficiary's position and to present evidence and other material relevant to the Claim to the Committee for its consideration in rendering its decision with respect thereto. The Committee shall render its decision in writing within ninety (90) days after the Claim is referred to it, unless special circumstances require an extension of such time within which to render such decision, in which event such decision shall be rendered no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Claim is referred to it. A copy of such written decision shall be furnished to the beneficiary.
(b) Notice of Decision of Committee. If the beneficiary's Claim is denied by the Committee, the beneficiary shall be provided with written notice thereof, which notice shall set forth:
(i) the specific reason(s) for the denial;
(ii) specific reference to pertinent provision(s) of this Agreement upon which such denial is based;
(iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the beneficiary to perfect such Claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and

all in a manner calculated to be understood by the beneficiary.
(c) Review of Decision of Committee. The beneficiary shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity for a full and fair review of the decision of the Committee denying the Claim. Such review shall be by the Committee. Such appeal shall be made within ninety (90) days after the beneficiary received the written decision of the Committee and shall be made by the written request of the beneficiary or the beneficiary's duly authorized representative of the Committee. In the event of appeal, the beneficiary or the beneficiary's duly authorized representative may review pertinent documents and submit issues and comments in writing to the Committee. The Committee shall review the following:
(i) the initial proceedings of the Committee with respect to such Claim;
(ii) such issues and comments as were submitted in writing by the beneficiary or the beneficiary's duly authorized representative; and
(iii) such other material and information as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems advisable for a full and fair review of the decision of the Committee.
The Committee may approve, disapprove or modify the decision of the Committee, in whole or in part, or may take such other action with respect to such appeal as it deems appropriate. The decision of the Committee with respect to such appeal shall be made promptly, and in no event later than sixty (60) days after receipt of such appeal, unless special circumstances require an extension of such time within which to render such decision, in which event such decision shall be rendered as soon as possible and in no event later than one hundred twenty (120) days following receipt of such appeal. The decision of the Committee shall be in writing and in a manner calculated to be understood by the beneficiary and shall include specific reasons for such decision and set forth specific references to the pertinent provisions of this Agreement upon which such decision is based. The beneficiary shall be furnished a copy of the written decision of the Committee. Such decision shall be final and conclusive upon all persons interested therein, except to the extent otherwise provided by applicable law.
5. Unfunded Arrangement. This Agreement shall be an unsecured, unfunded arrangement. To the extent Executive's beneficiary acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under this Agreement, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create a trust of any kind or any fiduciary relationship between the Company and Executive or Executive's beneficiary. Should the Company elect to finance this Agreement, in whole or in part, through the purchase of life insurance, the Company reserves the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to terminate such financing at any time, in whole or in part. At no time shall Executive be deemed to have any lien nor any right, title or interest in or to any life insurance policy or to any other assets of the Company. If the Company elects to finance its obligations under the Agreement in whole or in part through the purchase of life insurance on the life of Executive, then Executive shall assist the Company by freely submitting to a physical exam and supplying such additional information necessary to obtain such insurance.
6. Assignment of This Agreement or Benefits Hereunder.
(a) Assignment by Company. The rights, obligations and liabilities of the Company under this Agreement shall inure to and be binding upon any successors in interest or transferees of the business or assets of the Company.

(b) Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made and entered into in the State of North Carolina and the construction, validity and enforceability of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to conflict of laws principals.
8. Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, which when so executed shall constitute one and the same agreement or direction.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be signed by its duly authorized officer, and Executive has hereunto set his hand, all as of the day and year first above written.

THIS DEATH BENEFITS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into as of December 12, 2002, by and between ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC., a North Carolina corporation (the "Company"), and Richard C. Driscoll ("Executive").
Statement of Purpose
Executive is a key employee of the Company, has contributed materially to the successful operation of the Company's business and has rendered valuable services to the Company. It is contemplated that Executive will continue to render such valuable services to the Company. As part of Executive's total compensation package with the Company, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement in order to provide Executive's designated beneficiary with certain death benefits in the event of Executive's death while in service with the Company.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants set forth herein, the parties hereto mutually agree as follows:
1. Death Benefits. In the event that Executive dies prior to the date of Executive's termination of employment with the Company, the Company shall pay to Executive's beneficiary a lump sum cash payment equal to One Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,400,000). This lump sum amount, less any applicable payroll or withholding taxes, shall be paid to the beneficiary within sixty (60) days following the date of death.
2. Beneficiary. Executive may designate a beneficiary for purposes of
receiving benefits under this Agreement in accordance with such procedures as
the Company may establish from time to time. In the event Executive fails to
designate a beneficiary, or if Executive's designated beneficiary fails to
survive Executive, then the beneficiary for purposes of this Agreement shall be
(i) Executive's spouse or (ii) if there is no surviving spouse, Executive's
estate.
3. Replacement of Death Benefits Under SERP and Restoration Plan. The death benefits provided under this Agreement shall be in lieu of any death benefits otherwise payable by reason of Executive's participation in the EnPro Industries, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "SERP") or the EnPro Industries, Inc. Defined Benefit Restoration Plan (the "Restoration Plan"). Accordingly, subject to the payment of the death benefits hereunder, Executive, on behalf of himself and his beneficiaries, heirs, personal representatives and any other persons or entities claiming by or through Executive, hereby waives any claim to any death benefits under the SERP or the Restoration Plan.
4. Claims Procedures.
(a) General. In the event that Executive's beneficiary has a Claim under this Agreement, such Claim shall be made by the beneficiary's filing a notice thereof with the Company's Benefits Committee (the "Committee") within ninety (90) days after the beneficiary first has knowledge of such Claim. Once the beneficiary has submitted a Claim to the Committee, the beneficiary shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to state the beneficiary's position and to present evidence and other material relevant to the Claim to the Committee for its consideration in rendering its decision with respect thereto. The Committee shall render its decision in writing within ninety (90) days after the Claim is referred to it, unless special circumstances require an extension of such time within which to render such decision, in which event such decision shall be rendered no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Claim is referred to it. A copy of such written decision shall be furnished to the beneficiary.
(b) Notice of Decision of Committee. If the beneficiary's Claim is denied by the Committee, the beneficiary shall be provided with written notice thereof, which notice shall set forth:
(i) the specific reason(s) for the denial;
(ii) specific reference to pertinent provision(s) of this Agreement upon which such denial is based;
(iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the beneficiary to perfect such Claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and
(iv) an explanation of the procedure hereunder for review of such Claim;
all in a manner calculated to be understood by the beneficiary.
(c) Review of Decision of Committee. The beneficiary shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity for a full and fair review of the decision of the Committee denying the Claim. Such review shall be by the Committee. Such appeal shall be made within ninety (90) days after the beneficiary received the written decision of the Committee and shall be made by the written request of the beneficiary or the beneficiary's duly authorized representative of the Committee. In the event of appeal, the beneficiary or the beneficiary's duly authorized representative may review pertinent documents and submit issues and comments in writing to the Committee. The Committee shall review the following:
(i) the initial proceedings of the Committee with respect to such Claim;
(ii) such issues and comments as were submitted in writing by the beneficiary or the beneficiary's duly authorized representative; and
(iii) such other material and information as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems advisable for a full and fair review of the decision of the Committee.
The Committee may approve, disapprove or modify the decision of the Committee, in whole or in part, or may take such other action with respect to such appeal as it deems appropriate. The decision of the Committee with respect to such appeal shall be made promptly, and in no event later than sixty (60) days after receipt of such appeal, unless special circumstances require an extension of such time within which to render such decision, in which event such decision shall be rendered as soon as possible and in no event later than one hundred twenty (120) days following receipt of such appeal. The decision of the Committee shall be in writing and in a manner calculated to be understood by the beneficiary and shall include specific reasons for such decision and set forth specific references to the pertinent provisions of this Agreement upon which such decision is based. The beneficiary shall be furnished a copy of the written decision of the Committee. Such decision shall be final and conclusive upon all persons interested therein, except to the extent otherwise provided by applicable law.
5. Unfunded Arrangement. This Agreement shall be an unsecured, unfunded arrangement. To the extent Executive's beneficiary acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under this Agreement, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create a trust of any kind or any fiduciary relationship between the Company and Executive or Executive's beneficiary. Should the Company elect to finance this Agreement, in whole or in part, through the purchase of life insurance, the Company reserves the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to terminate such financing at any time, in whole or in part. At no time shall Executive be deemed to have any lien nor any right, title or interest in or to any life insurance policy or to any other assets of the Company. If the Company elects to finance its obligations under the Agreement in whole or in part through the purchase of life insurance on the life of Executive, then Executive shall assist the Company by freely submitting to a physical exam and supplying such additional information necessary to obtain such insurance.
6. Assignment of This Agreement or Benefits Hereunder.
(a) Assignment by Company. The rights, obligations and liabilities of the Company under this Agreement shall inure to and be binding upon any successors in interest or transferees of the business or assets of the Company.
(b) Assignment by Executive. Neither Executive, his beneficiary, his heirs, his estate, his executors, his administrators, other personal representatives, nor any other person claiming by, through or under him, shall have any right to commute, encumber, mortgage, hypothecate, pledge, assign, give or dispose of the right to receive any payment hereunder, which payment and the right thereto is expressly declared to be nonassignable.
7. Effect and Construction of This Agreement.
(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire understanding and agreement between the Company and Executive with regard to the subject matter contained herein and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements or understandings with respect to the subject matter herein and any amendment, change or modification in any provision of this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the parties hereto.
(b) Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made and entered into in the State of North Carolina and the construction, validity and enforceability of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to conflict of laws principals.
8. Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, which when so executed shall constitute one and the same agreement or direction.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be signed by its duly authorized officer, and Executive has hereunto set his hand, all as of the day and year first above written.

EXHIBIT 14
ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC.
CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT
To All EnPro Directors, Officers and Employees:
EnPro Industries, Inc. is committed to the highest standards in all aspects of its business. To confirm that commitment, attached is the new EnPro Code of Business Conduct. The Code, which emphasizes integrity, ethics, and fairness, elaborates on many of the legal and ethical principles to which we must all adhere.
We expect every director, officer and employee to comply in every respect with all applicable laws and regulations and to conduct the Company's business in a way that protects and promotes our valuable reputation. We will continue to compete vigorously in the marketplace, but we will not deviate from these fundamental principles in doing so.
All EnPro directors, officers and employees, not only in the United States, but throughout the world, are responsible for complying with this Code. Senior managers will be responsible for ensuring that all employees receive a copy of the Code and will be asked annually to certify compliance with it.
Obviously, the Code cannot address every conceivable situation we face. It can only set out general legal and ethical principles, and employees and directors must use good judgment in applying them. If any employee, director or officer needs further guidance regarding compliance with applicable laws and this Code, he or she should contact an attorney in the Legal Department or the EnPro Corporate Compliance Committee.
Ernie Schaub
President and Chief Executive Officer
CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT
All directors, officers and employees of EnPro Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries, in the United States and worldwide (collectively the "Company"), are required to conduct business activities and operations in an ethical manner and in compliance with applicable laws, rules, regulations, Company policies, and the standards set forth in this Code.
It is the responsibility of each supervisor to ensure that the employees under his or her supervision understand the laws and policies (including this Code) that apply to such employees, to apply such policies fairly and consistently, and to respond appropriately to any inquiries or reports of suspected violations. It is the responsibility of all employees to comply with this Code and all related policies.
It is the policy of the Company to prevent the occurrence of unethical or unlawful behavior and to halt any such behavior that may occur as soon as reasonably possible after its discovery. Violations of this Code may result in serious consequences for the violator, including termination of employment.
I. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
The activities of the Company and each employee are expected to be in full compliance with the letter and spirit of all applicable laws, rules and regulations. It would be impossible to summarize here all the laws, rules and regulations with which the Company and its employees must comply; this Code refers to only a few of them.
Any employee with questions about his or her obligations under applicable laws in the United States or any other country in which the Company conducts business should seek advice from his or her supervisor, an attorney in the Legal Department or the Corporate Compliance Committee (see Section XV of this Code).
II. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Employees of the Company have a primary business responsibility to the Company and must avoid any activity that may interfere, or have the appearance of interfering, with the performance of this responsibility. Business decisions must be based solely on the best interests of the Company, without regard to personal, family or other extraneous considerations.
Conflicts of interest can arise when an employee's position or responsibilities with the Company present an opportunity for gain apart from the normal rewards of employment. They can also arise when an employee's personal or family interests are, or may be viewed as being, inconsistent with those of the Company and therefore as creating conflicting loyalties. Such conflicting loyalties can cause an employee to give preference to personal interests, either internal or external, in situations where Company responsibilities come first.
No employee may personally benefit from his or her employment with the Company except through compensation received directly from the Company. This prohibition does not apply to discounts offered by merchants that are generally available to all employees of the Company.
The following examples illustrate what the Company expects from its employees. The list is not comprehensive, but is intended to suggest how this Code would apply in a given situation. It is important that the spirit of this Code be understood and observed in every instance.
- No employee shall solicit or accept, either directly or indirectly, a payment, reward, fee, substantial gift or gratuity, or excessive entertainment, including meals, lodging or travel, from any present, past or prospective customer, competitor or supplier. It is impossible to set absolute standards for gifts that are "appropriate" rather than "inappropriate." If gifts are of nominal value, however, and given without obvious intent to gain inappropriate influence or advantage, no cause for embarrassment or adverse publicity should result. Gifts of a personal nature with a slight value, or entertainment that is clearly in the interest of the Company by virtue of the business contacts established, should be regarded as acceptable. Cash or its equivalent may never be accepted, in any amount or manner whatsoever.
- Ownership interests in competitors or concerns with which the Company does business (excluding, for a publicly traded company, investments not exceeding 5% of the value of the company's outstanding equity
securities) must be approved in writing by the Corporate Compliance Committee prior to acquisition of such ownership interest.
- The Company encourages individual participation in civic activities, provided such activities do not conflict with the Company's interests.
- No employee may buy or sell assets from the Company either corporately or in a fiduciary capacity unless the purchase or sale is disclosed to and approved by management of the Company with no interest in the assets.
The appearance of a conflict of interest can be as damaging to the Company as an actual conflict. Employees should conduct themselves at all times so as to avoid apparent conflicts. Any employee who believes he or she may have a conflict of interest should disclose it immediately to, and seek guidance from, a member of the Corporate Compliance Committee who is not involved in the potential conflict or an attorney in the Legal Department. The Corporate Compliance Committee and the Company's attorneys have sufficient authority to adequately deal with conflict of interest transactions, including the authority to disclose such transactions (or potential transactions) to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and, if necessary, to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
III. CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES
No employee of the Company may take personal advantage or obtain personal gain from an opportunity learned of or discovered during the course and scope of his or her employment when that opportunity or discovery could be of benefit or interest to the Company. Likewise, no employees may use Company property, information or position for personal gain.
IV. OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT
The Company expects each employee to be fully attentive to the interests of the Company at all times. Accordingly, no employee may engage in any activity, including outside employment, that places his or her interest, or the interest of other persons or groups, ahead of the best interests of the Company. Outside employment or other interests that could detract from an employee's work performance must be approved in advance by the employee's supervisor. Under no circumstances may an employee compete against the Company.
V. COMPANY RECORDS
Company records must always be prepared accurately and maintained properly, in accordance with the Company's records management policies and all applicable laws and regulations.
No false, artificial or deceptive entries may be made in the Company's records for any reason. The simple rule of thumb is that the Company's books must accurately reflect the transactions they record. In addition, it is important to remember that Company records belong to the Company. Therefore, Company records should not be removed from Company property except for a legitimate business reason, and any documents so removed should be returned to Company property as soon as practicable.
Accounting procedures and controls are prescribed by Company policies. Within these policies, the senior officers of the operating companies have the primary responsibility for establishing and monitoring adequate systems of internal accounting and controls, and all employees must adhere to these controls. The Company's auditors monitor and document compliance with these internal controls. Employees shall cooperate completely and forthrightly with the Company's internal and independent auditors.
No employee may engage in, allow or conceal any financial or bookkeeping irregularity.
VI. COMPANY FUNDS AND PROPERTY
Company employees must protect the Company's assets and ensure their efficient use for legitimate business purposes. Each employee is personally accountable for Company funds and property over which he or she has control. Purchases of products and services from suppliers must be made solely on the basis of quality, price, service and other relevant considerations. No Company funds or other property shall be used for any unlawful purpose, such as to secure special privileges or benefits through the payment of bribes or other illegal payments.
No employee may engage in any act that involves theft, fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation or wrongful conversion of any property, including Company property, regardless of whether or not such act could result in a criminal proceeding. This prohibition includes unauthorized use of the Company's communications equipment, computers and related facilities or other Company assets, including proprietary information and trade secrets.
While on Company business, employees must also adhere to the Company travel policy, including all policies and procedures relating to expense reporting and reimbursement.
Gifts, favors and entertainment may be given to others at Company expense only if they are consistent with law and accepted business practices and if they are of sufficiently limited value and in a form that could not reasonably be construed as a bribe or payoff. Gifts in the form of cash or its equivalent are prohibited. Likewise, secret commissions or other compensation to employees of customers or their family members or associates are prohibited.
Company employees working outside the United States must comply with all applicable tax and currency control laws of the principal country in which they work. No such employee residing abroad shall be paid any commission or any other part of his or her compensation elsewhere than in his or her country of residence if the Company has knowledge that such payment would violate any local income tax or exchange control laws. The same goes for any payments to third parties for goods and services; no such payments should be made to a third party in a country other than that in which the party resides, maintains a place of business or has rendered the services for which payment is made if the Company has knowledge that such a payment method would violate any local income tax or exchange laws.
VII. SAFETY AND HEALTH
Workplace safety and health are paramount concerns and are conditions of employment at the Company worldwide. Employees must adhere to applicable health and safety laws and regulations and all related Company policies designed to ensure safe working conditions, including the Company's substance abuse policy.
Employees are responsible for working safely and are expected to participate actively in training and in identifying and alerting management to potential hazards and unsafe practices.
The senior management of each operating business is responsible for adopting appropriate policies and procedures to assure workplace safety in accordance with all applicable national and local laws, and for ensuring compliance with company-wide policies regarding health and safety.
VIII. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND HARASSMENT-FREE EMPLOYMENT
The Company is an equal opportunity employer. The Company's policy is to select and place employees on the basis of qualification for work to be performed, as required by applicable laws, without discrimination in terms of race, religion, national origin, color, sex, age, status as a qualified individual with a disability or other status protected by law. The Company insists that all employees refrain from any act that is designed to cause or does cause unlawful employment discrimination with respect to any term or condition of employment.
The Company is also committed to the goal of providing a safe, secure, productive and healthy work environment free from harassment of any kind. The Company insists that all employees refrain from any act that is designed to cause or does cause harassment or intimidation, including sexual harassment. The Company will not tolerate any form of harassment or intimidation by any employee.
IX. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
The Company is committed to full compliance with national, state and local environmental laws and regulations at all operating facilities in the United States and worldwide. The Company's environmental obligations include, but are not limited to, obtaining and maintaining all environmental permits and approvals required for the conduct of the Company's operations, the proper handling, storage and disposal of regulated materials and timely and accurate submission of required reports to the proper government agencies.
Employees are expected to understand and act in accordance with their obligations under environmental laws, including any new or modified obligations as they are established. Employees must report suspected violations of those laws to their supervisors. It shall be the obligation of all supervisors to investigate any reported violation and to ensure that timely and effective remedial action is taken where appropriate.
The Company will ensure compliance with this Code through vigilant self-monitoring and the continual training, education, encouragement and, where necessary, discipline of employees at all levels. The Company will not tolerate the falsification of data or the reporting of false information regarding environmental compliance within the Company or to government agencies.
The Company is also committed to full compliance with all laws and regulations governing its products, including all applicable national and local laws governing product safety and related issues. The Company has adopted company-wide policies regarding environmental compliance.
X. COMPETITION AND CONTACTS WITH COMPETITORS
The concept of free and open competition underlies the antitrust laws in the United States and other countries where the Company conducts business. Compliance with such laws is mandatory. In the United States, the Sherman Act and its state law counterparts prohibit businesses from entering into agreements, express or implied, that unreasonably restrain trade.
Employees may not enter into discussions or agreements with competitors or suppliers that would in any way violate or be construed as a violation of such laws. For instance, there shall be no discussions with competitors regarding the pricing of products, terms and conditions of sale, credit terms, costs, product specifications, customer activities or similar items. Certain agreements are considered so inherently anticompetitive as to be criminal in nature (e.g., price fixing, bid rigging, customer or territorial allocation, group boycotts) and can result in the imposition of substantial monetary penalties and jail sentences.
Employees are encouraged to contact an attorney in the Legal Department if they have any doubt about the legality of a proposed course of action. In addition, the Company will make anti-trust training materials and educational opportunities available to those employees who may face anti-trust issues from time to time.
If employees become aware of possible violations of any antitrust laws, they should report the suspected violations to an attorney in the Legal Department immediately.
XI. FAIR DEALING
Each employee of the Company is expected to deal fairly with the Company's customers, suppliers, competitors and other employees. It is a violation of Company policy to take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of confidential information, misrepresentation of material facts or any other unfair or deceptive practice.
XII. SECURITIES AND INSIDER TRADING
The Company is committed to complying with all federal and state securities laws and regulations. These laws, along with the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, impose certain obligations on publicly-held corporations and the persons associated with them. It is important that employees in no way compromise the position of the Company with the disclosure ("leaking" or "tipping") of non-public information to outsiders or to other employees who do not require the information in the performance of their duties. No employee with knowledge of non-public ("inside") information should use the information for his or her own benefit. This means that no employee may trade in Company securities when he or she has knowledge of material inside information except for regular purchases under the Company's employee benefit plans.
"Material" information is any information that an investor might consider important in deciding whether to buy, sell or hold securities. Examples of some types of material information are financial results, financial forecasts, possible mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, other purchases or sales of or investments in companies, obtaining or losing important contracts, important product developments, major litigation developments and major changes in business direction.
Information is considered to be "non-public" unless it has been adequately disclosed to the public. Examples of effective disclosure include public filings with securities regulatory authorities and issuance of press releases. The information must not only be disclosed; there must also be adequate time for the market as a whole to digest the information.
The Company's officers, directors and certain other personnel specified in the Company's policy entitled "Securities Trades by Company Personnel" are obligated to have all transactions in Company securities pre-cleared by the Company's General Counsel or a designated attorney in the Legal Department. Trades will be discouraged late in a quarter and not permitted after the end of a quarter until the third business day after earnings are released (a "black-out period"). Following a black-out period, the Company has a suggested "window period" for trading which begins on the third business day after an earnings release and ends fifteen business days later. During a window period, the presumption will be that trading is permissible absent any material, non-public information or other special circumstances. Employees are encouraged to contact an attorney in the Legal Department with questions concerning specific transactions and to review the Company's insider trading policy in its entirety.
XIII. DEALING WITH GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
All dealings with government officials, including, but not limited to lobbying, political contributions to candidates, meetings with government agencies, communications with public officials and contracting with government agencies, shall be done in accordance with all applicable national, state and local laws and regulations in each country in which the Company conducts business.
No employee shall offer or promise a payment or reward of any kind, directly or indirectly, to any federal, state or local government official in order to secure preferential treatment for the Company or its employees.
No employee shall offer or promise a payment or reward of any kind, directly or indirectly, to a federal, state or local government official for or because of an official act performed or to be performed by that official.
No employee shall offer or promise any federal, state or local government official gifts, entertainment, gratuities, meals, lodging, travel or similar items that are designed to influence such official.
It is the policy of the Company to cooperate fully with all legal and reasonable government investigations. Accordingly, Company employees shall comply with any and all lawful requests from government investigators and, consistent with preserving the Company's legal rights, shall cooperate in lawful government inquiries. No employee shall make a false or misleading written or oral statement to a government official with regard to any matter involving a government inquiry into Company matters.
Employees should contact an attorney in the Legal Department when presented with any such government request or inquiry. Employees with questions about contacts with government officials should seek guidance from an attorney in the Legal Department.
Individual employees are free to participate in political activities or make personal political contributions, but may not use Company funds or other resources. No employee may make a political contribution on behalf of the Company without permission from a member of the Corporate Compliance Committee, and then only after an attorney in the Legal Department has affirmed the legality and propriety of such a contribution.
With respect to the Company's operations outside the United States, all employees must comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. That law generally prohibits the giving of money or other benefits or items of value to a foreign official or political party for the
purpose of obtaining or retaining business or to otherwise induce the official to give or obtain favorable business treatment for the Company. The law does allow nominal payments to clerical-type personnel in certain circumstances. Any employee considering or asked to make such a payment should consult his or her supervisor and an attorney in the Legal Department in advance. Such payments should be made only if absolutely necessary to obtain or expedite the required service, and any such payments should be accurately and completely recorded in the Company's records.
XIV. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
In the normal course of business, there will be instances in which employees may be entrusted with confidential or privileged information. That information most often will involve facts, plans or other aspects of the Company's business that are not in the public domain and will, on occasion, involve information that has been entrusted to the Company by customers, suppliers or others with whom the Company has a relationship.
All employees possessing confidential information regarding the Company or any of its customers or suppliers have a duty not to disclose such information outside the Company or to employees who do not have a need to know such information, except where disclosure is authorized or legally required. Employees possessing confidential information shall not use such information for personal gain.
All employees are expected to comply with the terms and conditions of any and all confidentiality, non-disclosure and patent agreements signed by them when accepting employment.
Questions regarding what is or is not confidential or privileged information should be directed to the employee's supervisor.
XV. COMPLIANCE AND REPORTING
The Company has appointed a committee (the "Corporate Compliance Committee") to ensure that this Code and the Company's related policies will govern the business activities of all Company employees. The membership of the Corporate Compliance Committee will consist of senior executives of the Company and will be published from time to time. Any employee who has questions about this Code or how it applies in particular circumstances is encouraged to seek guidance from his or her supervisor, an attorney in the Legal Department or the Corporate Compliance Committee.
Employees should report any suspected noncompliance with these policies to their supervisor, an attorney in the Legal Department or any member of the Corporate Compliance Committee. The Company will promptly undertake an investigation into any report that it receives. The investigation will be sufficient in size and scope to address the report, and will be handled discreetly and with due sensitivity to all persons involved in the investigation. If requested, and to the extent possible, the Company will keep the identity of the reporting employee and all disclosures made in accordance with this Code confidential. No employee will be subject to any disciplinary or retaliatory action for reasonably and in good faith reporting any suspected violation. Submission of knowingly false reports, however, constitutes a violation of this Code and will result in disciplinary action.
Failure to comply with this Code can have severe consequences for both the individuals involved and the Company. The Company will take appropriate disciplinary action for violations of this Code, including termination of employment. Disciplinary action may be taken:
- Against employees who authorize or participate directly and, in appropriate circumstances, indirectly in actions that are a violation of this Code or any related policies.
- Against employees who fail to report a violation of this Code or any related policy or who withhold any relevant information concerning a violation of which they became aware.
- Against the violator's supervisor, to the extent the circumstances of the violation reflect inadequate supervision or lack of diligence.
- Against any employee who attempts to retaliate, directly or indirectly, or encourages others to do so, against an employee who reports a violation or cooperates with an investigation of such violation.
If an employee believes that a supervisor to whom a suspected violation has been reported has not taken appropriate action, the employee should contact an attorney in the Legal Department or the Corporate Compliance Committee. The Corporate Compliance Committee can be reached by contacting Robert P. McKinney at (704) 731-1526.
The Board of Directors (and not the Corporate Compliance Committee) is the only body authorized to waive compliance with this Code as it relates to any executive officer or director of the Company. With respect to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Board of Directors also has the authority to investigate (or supervise the investigation of) alleged violations of this Code and to determine the appropriate consequences for violations by such individuals.
