Board of Directors will have any personal liability to it or the registrant&#146;s shareholders for
damages for any breach of duty in such capacity, unless (a)&nbsp;such liability was for an act or
omission prior to the adoption of these provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or
(b)&nbsp;a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director establishes that (i)&nbsp;his acts or
omissions were in bad faith or involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (ii)
he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally
entitled or (iii)&nbsp;his acts violated section 719 of the New York Business Corporation Law (generally
relating to the improper declaration of dividends, improper purchases of shares, improper
distribution of assets after dissolution, or making improper loans to directors contrary to
specified statutory provisions). Reference is made to Article&nbsp;TWELFTH of the Restated Certificate
of Incorporation filed as Exhibit 4(a) to this Registration Statement.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the registrant&#146;s bylaws, the registrant agrees to indemnify its directors and officers
and every other person who it may indemnify under the indemnification provisions for directors and
officers of the New York Business Corporation Law. In addition, the bylaws provide that any person
who is made, or threatened to be made, a party to or involved in an action, suit or proceeding by
reason of the fact that he or his testator or intestate is or was (or agreed to become) a director
or officer of the registrant or is or was (or agreed to serve) any other entity in any capacity
will be indemnified by the registrant unless a final judgment establishes that the director or
officer (i)&nbsp;acted in bad faith or was deliberately dishonest and such bad faith or dishonesty was
material to the matter adjudicated or (ii)&nbsp;gained a financial profit or other advantage to which he
was not legally entitled. The bylaws provide that the indemnification rights will be deemed to be
&#147;contract rights&#148; and continue after a person ceases to be a director or officer or after
rescission or modification of the bylaws with respect to prior occurring events. They also provide
directors and officers with the benefit of any additional indemnification that may be permitted by
later amendment to the New York Business Corporation Law. The bylaws further provide for
advancement of expenses and specify procedures in seeking and obtaining indemnification. Reference
is made to Article&nbsp;VI of the bylaws filed as Exhibit 4(b) to this Registration Statement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The registrant has insurance to indemnify its directors and officers, within the limits of its
insurance policies, for those liabilities in respect of which indemnification insurance is
permitted under the laws of the State of New York. The registrant has also entered into
indemnification agreements with its officers and directors that specify the terms of its
indemnification obligations. In general, these indemnification agreements provide that the
registrant will indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent now permitted under
current law and to the extent that the law is amended to increase the scope of permitted
indemnification. They also provide for the advance payment of expenses to a director or officer
incurred in an indemnifiable claim, subject to repayment if it is later determined that the

reimburse the director or officer for any expenses that he incurs in seeking to enforce his rights
under the indemnification agreement, and the registrant has the opportunity to participate in the
defense of any indemnifiable claims against the director or officer.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reference is made to Sections&nbsp;721-726 of the New York Business Corporation Law, which are
summarized below.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;721 of the New York Business Corporation Law provides that indemnification pursuant to
the New York Business Corporation Law will not be deemed exclusive of other indemnification rights
to which a director or officer may be entitled, provided that no indemnification may be made if a
judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that (i)&nbsp;his
acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, and, in
either case, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or (ii)&nbsp;he personally gained in
fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;722(a) of the New York Business Corporation Law provides that a corporation may
indemnify a person made, or threatened to be made, a party to any civil or criminal action or
proceeding, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure judgment in its
favor but including an action by or in the right of any other corporation or entity which any
director or officer served in any capacity at the request of the corporation, by reason of the fact
that he or his testator or intestate was a director or officer of the corporation or served such
other entity in any capacity, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable
expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees actually and necessarily incurred as a result of such action or
proceeding, or any appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose
which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service to any other entity, not opposed
to, the best interests of the corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition, had
no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. With respect to actions by or in the
right of the corporation to procure judgment in its favor, Section 722(c) of the New York Business
Corporation Law provides that a person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation or
who is or was serving as a director or officer of any other corporation or entity may be
indemnified only against amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys&#146;
fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such an
action, or any appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose
which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service to any other entity, not opposed
to, the best interests of the corporation and that no indemnification may be made in respect of (1)
a threatened action, or a pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of, or (2)&nbsp;any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation,
unless and to the extent an appropriate court determines that the person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to partial or full indemnification.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;723 of the New York Business Corporation Law specifies the manner in which the
corporation may authorize payment of such indemnification. It provides that indemnification by a
corporation is mandatory in any case in which the director or officer has been successful, whether
on the merits or otherwise, in defending an action. In the event that the director or officer has
not been successful or the action is settled, indemnification may be made by the corporation only
if authorized by any of the corporate actions set forth in Section&nbsp;723 (unless the corporation has
provided for indemnification in some other manner as otherwise permitted by Section&nbsp;721 of the New
York Business Corporation Law).

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;725 of the New York Business Corporation Law contains certain other miscellaneous

instances in which they may be indemnified by a corporation under such sections, and (3)&nbsp;directors
and officers in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by a corporation under
such sections, provided the contract of insurance covering such directors and officers provides, in
a manner acceptable to the New York State Superintendent of Insurance, for a retention amount and
for co-insurance.

be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and

therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Vincent M. Lichtenberger, Senior Counsel and Assistant Secretary of the Company, will pass
upon the validity of the Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Goodrich Corporation 2008 Global
Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Mr. Lichtenberger holds restricted stock units and options to
purchase shares of Common Stock in an aggregate amount of less than 0.1% of the outstanding Common
Stock.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under the registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, no member of the registrant's
Board of Directors will have any personal liability to it or the registrant's shareholders for
damages for any breach of duty in such capacity, unless (a) such liability was for an act or
omission prior to the adoption of these provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or
(b) a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director establishes that (i) his acts or
omissions were in bad faith or involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (ii)
he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally
entitled or (iii) his acts violated section 719 of the New York Business Corporation Law (generally
relating to the improper declaration of dividends, improper purchases of shares, improper
distribution of assets after dissolution, or making improper loans to directors contrary to
specified statutory provisions). Reference is made to Article TWELFTH of the Restated Certificate
of Incorporation filed as Exhibit 4(a) to this Registration Statement.
Under the registrant's bylaws, the registrant agrees to indemnify its directors and officers
and every other person who it may indemnify under the indemnification provisions for directors and
officers of the New York Business Corporation Law. In addition, the bylaws provide that any person
who is made, or threatened to be made, a party to or involved in an action, suit or proceeding by
reason of the fact that he or his testator or intestate is or was (or agreed to become) a director
or officer of the registrant or is or was (or agreed to serve) any other entity in any capacity
will be indemnified by the registrant unless a final judgment establishes that the director or
officer (i) acted in bad faith or was deliberately dishonest and such bad faith or dishonesty was
material to the matter adjudicated or (ii) gained a financial profit or other advantage to which he
was not legally entitled. The bylaws provide that the indemnification rights will be deemed to be
"contract rights" and continue after a person ceases to be a director or officer or after
rescission or modification of the bylaws with respect to prior occurring events. They also provide
directors and officers with the benefit of any additional indemnification that may be permitted by
later amendment to the New York Business Corporation Law. The bylaws further provide for
advancement of expenses and specify procedures in seeking and obtaining indemnification. Reference
is made to Article VI of the bylaws filed as Exhibit 4(b) to this Registration Statement.
The registrant has insurance to indemnify its directors and officers, within the limits of its
insurance policies, for those liabilities in respect of which indemnification insurance is
permitted under the laws of the State of New York. The registrant has also entered into
indemnification agreements with its officers and directors that specify the terms of its
indemnification obligations. In general, these indemnification agreements provide that the
registrant will indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent now permitted under
current law and to the extent that the law is amended to increase the scope of permitted
indemnification. They also provide for the advance payment of expenses to a director or officer
incurred in an indemnifiable claim, subject to repayment if it is later determined that the
director
3
Table of Contents
or officer was not entitled to be indemnified. Under these agreements the registrant agrees to
reimburse the director or officer for any expenses that he incurs in seeking to enforce his rights
under the indemnification agreement, and the registrant has the opportunity to participate in the
defense of any indemnifiable claims against the director or officer.
Reference is made to Sections 721-726 of the New York Business Corporation Law, which are
summarized below.
Section 721 of the New York Business Corporation Law provides that indemnification pursuant to
the New York Business Corporation Law will not be deemed exclusive of other indemnification rights
to which a director or officer may be entitled, provided that no indemnification may be made if a
judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that (i) his
acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, and, in
either case, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or (ii) he personally gained in
fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled.
Section 722(a) of the New York Business Corporation Law provides that a corporation may
indemnify a person made, or threatened to be made, a party to any civil or criminal action or
proceeding, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure judgment in its
favor but including an action by or in the right of any other corporation or entity which any
director or officer served in any capacity at the request of the corporation, by reason of the fact
that he or his testator or intestate was a director or officer of the corporation or served such
other entity in any capacity, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable
expenses, including attorneys' fees actually and necessarily incurred as a result of such action or
proceeding, or any appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose
which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service to any other entity, not opposed
to, the best interests of the corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition, had
no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. With respect to actions by or in the
right of the corporation to procure judgment in its favor, Section 722(c) of the New York Business
Corporation Law provides that a person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation or
who is or was serving as a director or officer of any other corporation or entity may be
indemnified only against amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys'
fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such an
action, or any appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose
which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service to any other entity, not opposed
to, the best interests of the corporation and that no indemnification may be made in respect of (1)
a threatened action, or a pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of, or (2) any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation,
unless and to the extent an appropriate court determines that the person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to partial or full indemnification.
Section 723 of the New York Business Corporation Law specifies the manner in which the
corporation may authorize payment of such indemnification. It provides that indemnification by a
corporation is mandatory in any case in which the director or officer has been successful, whether
on the merits or otherwise, in defending an action. In the event that the director or officer has
not been successful or the action is settled, indemnification may be made by the corporation only
if authorized by any of the corporate actions set forth in Section 723 (unless the corporation has
provided for indemnification in some other manner as otherwise permitted by Section 721 of the New
York Business Corporation Law).

Table of Contents
Section 724 of the New York Business Corporation Law provides that upon proper application by
a director or officer, indemnification shall be awarded by a court to the extent authorized under
Sections 722 and 723 of the New York Business Corporation Law.
Section 725 of the New York Business Corporation Law contains certain other miscellaneous
provisions affecting the indemnification of directors and officers, including provision for the
return of amounts paid as indemnification if any such person is ultimately found not to be entitled
to the indemnification.
Section 726 of the New York Business Corporation Law authorizes the purchase and maintenance
of insurance to indemnify (1) a corporation for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the
indemnification of directors and officers under the above sections, (2) directors and officers in
instances in which they may be indemnified by a corporation under such sections, and (3) directors
and officers in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by a corporation under
such sections, provided the contract of insurance covering such directors and officers provides, in
a manner acceptable to the New York State Superintendent of Insurance, for a retention amount and
for co-insurance.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more
than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material
change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering
thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.
