CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT

This Agreement is made as of this 23rd day of December, 2013, by and between
Gibraltar Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices at 3556 Lake
Shore Road, Buffalo New York (the “Company”) and Brian J. Lipke, (the
“Executive”).

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the parties entered into a Change in Control Agreement (the “Original
Agreement”) dated July 8, 1998;

WHEREAS, in 2005 the parties amended and restated the original Agreement to
reflect new regulations under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (such amended and restated agreement being hereinafter the “2005
Agreement”);

WHEREAS, in 2011 the parties amended and restated the 2005 Agreement to provide
that the former right of the Executive to receive certain payments upon the
occurrence of a change in control without any requirement for the Executive’s
employment to be terminated (a “single trigger” payment provision) was changed
to provide that the Executive will not have the right to receive these payments
unless his employment with the Company is terminated, either by the Company
without “Cause” or by the Executive for a “Good Reason”, during the three
(3) year period following the occurrence of the Change in Control (a “double
trigger” payment provision) (such amended and restated agreement being
hereinafter the “2011 Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend and restate the 2011 Agreement to provide
that the amount which is payable to the Executive in connection with a
termination of his employment following the occurrence of a Change in Control
will be reduced from three and one-half (3.5) times the Executive’s Annual
Compensation to two and three-quarters (2.75) times the Executive’s Annual
Compensation and to eliminate the Executive’s right to receive a gross-up of any
excise taxes which may become payable with respect to any amounts the Executive
receives in connection with the occurrence of a termination of his employment
upon the occurrence of a Change in Control.

Executive of all of his options, immediately prior to the Change in Control
(including any shares of the Company’s common stock which may be acquired by the
Executive as a result of adjustments made after the occurrence of a Change in

equal to the same proportion, on a fully diluted basis, of the issued and
outstanding shares of common stock of the Company which could have been
purchased by the Executive pursuant to the exercise of all of his options
immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control; or (ii) the common
stock of the Company is no longer listed for trading on an established
securities market and the Successor has not, effective as of the date the Change
in Control occurs, offered to grant Conversion Options to the Executive in lieu
of the options of the Executive to purchase common stock of the Company; or

the Executive has elected not to accept such grant of Conversion Options; then
(iv) the Executive shall be paid, in one lump sum payment not later than 90 days

provision to the Executive of each of the payments and benefits described in
Section 3(a) above shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of the
short term deferral rules of Section 409A of the Code.

4. Obligations of the Company Upon a Double Trigger Event. If a Double Trigger
Event occurs, in addition to the payments and benefits which the Executive is
entitled to pursuant to Section 3(a) above, the Company shall pay to the
Executive in one lump sum payment, any bonuses accrued for but not yet paid to
the Executive for the fiscal year of the Company ending immediately prior to the

entitled, subject to the provisions of this Section 4(b), to continue to
participate in the group medical insurance plans which are available to exempt
salaried employees employed at the Company’s Buffalo, New York corporate
offices, determined as of the day immediately preceding the date the Executive’s
employment is terminated, for the remainder of her life. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to permit the Executive and his
spouse to participate in such group medical insurance plans unless the Executive
pays to the Company, on a monthly basis, the employee portion of any costs
associated with the maintenance and provision of such benefits by the Company to

the Successor and, at the time that the Executive’s employment with the Company
is terminated, the Executive owns Conversion Options or any other options to
acquire any Successor Equity which are exercisable at the time the Executive’s
employment with the Company is terminated, but any such Conversion Options and
other options to purchase Successor Equity have not been exercised by the
Executive, the Successor shall pay to the Executive in one lump sum payment
within thirty (30) days following the date the Executive’s employment with the
Company is terminated, an amount equal to: (i) the Highest Sale Price,

stock pursuant to any such equity based incentive compensation shall be fully

4, or 7 above, the Company’s obligation to pay the Executive any such amounts or
provide the Executive any such benefits shall survive until all such amounts and
benefits have been paid or provided to the Executive.

10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding between
the Company and the Executive with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes any and all prior agreements or understandings, written or oral,
relating to the subject matter hereof, including, but not limited to, the 2005

12. Successors, Binding Effect. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the personal representatives and successors in interest
of the Executive. In addition, this Agreement shall be binding upon any
successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, amalgamation or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the
Company. The Company expressly agrees that it shall have no right, power or
authority to consummate any sale of all or substantially all the business and/or
assets of the Company or to consummate any merger, consolidation or other
transaction as a result of which all or substantially all the business and/or
assets of the Company are not owned by the Company or any of its direct or
indirect wholly owned subsidiaries unless the party that will own all or
substantially all the business and/or assets of the Company following the
consummation of such transaction executes and delivers an agreement with the
Company expressly providing for the assumption by such party of all of the
Company’s obligations under this Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, no such agreement shall be necessary to make the obligations of the
Company under the terms of this Agreement binding on such successor to the
business and/or assets of the Company.

(b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by
Executive’s personal and legal representatives, executors and administrators. If
Executive dies while any amount is still payable to him hereunder, all such
amounts shall paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the
Executive’s personal representative or the executor or administrator of the
Executive’s estate within ten (10) days from the date such personal
representative, executor or administrator is appointed. In addition, the
obligation of the Company or, if applicable, the Successor to pay to the
Executive the amounts required to be paid under the terms of this Agreement
shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by any disability which
may be suffered by the Executive after he becomes entitled to payment of any
amounts which he is entitled to be paid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

13. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be
performed wholly within such State except with respect to the internal affairs
of the Company and its stockholders, which shall be governed by the General
Company Law of the State of Delaware.

14. Notices. All notices and other communications given pursuant to this
Agreement shall be deemed to have been properly given or delivered if
hand-delivered, or if mailed, by certified mail or registered mail postage
prepaid, addressed to the Executive at the address first above written or if to
the Company, at its address set forth above, with a copy to the attention of
Gerald S. Lippes, 665 Main St., Buffalo, NY 14203. From time to time, any party
hereto may designate by written notice any other address or party to which such
notice or communication or copies thereof shall be sent.

15. Severability of Provisions. In case any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and this
Agreement shall be interpreted as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provision was not contained herein.

16. Headings. The headings of the Sections and Articles of this Agreement are
inserted for convenience only and shall not constitute a part hereof or affect
in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

17. 409A Savings Clause. If and to the extent that any provision of this
Agreement would result in the payment or deferral of compensation in a manner
which does not comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the
Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, such provisions shall, to the
maximum extent possible, be construed and interpreted in a manner which will
cause such provisions to be implemented in a manner which complies with the
applicable requirements of Section 409A and the Treasury regulations promulgated
thereunder so as to avoid subjecting the Executive to taxation under
Section 409A(a)(i)(A) of the Code. If any payment provided for by this Agreement
could, as a result of the period of time within which such payment is required
to be made, be paid to the Executive in one of two consecutive taxable years of
the Executive, the Executive shall have no right to determine the taxable year
in which such payment is made. In addition, if at the time a Change in Control
defined in Section 1(h)(iii) occurs or at the time a Double Trigger Event
occurs, the common stock of the Company or, if applicable, the Successor is
publicly traded on an established securities market, the amounts required to be
paid to the Executive pursuant to Section 3(b) and Sections 4(a), (c), (d) and
(e) hereof shall be paid to the Executive (or in the case of the Executive’s
death, to the personal representative of the Executive’s estate) on the first
business day following the earlier of: (a) the date of the Executive’s death;
and (b) the end of the six (6) month period which begins on the first day
following: (i) the date the Change in Control identified in Section 1(b)(iii)
occurs; or (ii) the date the Double Trigger Event occurs, whichever the case may
be.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have caused this Change in Control Agreement
to be executed as of the day and year first above written.
