 THIS STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of the Grant Date specified above, is entered into by and between Masonite Worldwide Holdings Inc., a Canadian corporation
(the “Company”), and the Participant specified above, pursuant to the Masonite Worldwide Holdings Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which is administered by the Committee; and 

WHEREAS, it has been determined under the Plan the Company will grant the stock appreciation rights (“SAR”) provided for herein
to the Participant; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises hereinafter set forth and for other
good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows: 
 1. Incorporation By
Reference; Plan Document Receipt. This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms and provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, any amendments thereto adopted at any time and from time to time unless such amendments are
expressly intended not to apply to the grant of the SAR hereunder), all of which terms and provisions are made a part of and incorporated in this Agreement as if they were each expressly set forth herein. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt
of a true copy of the Plan and that the Participant has read the Plan carefully and fully understands its content. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.

 2. Grant of SAR. The Company hereby grants to the Participant as of the Grant Date a SAR on the number of
Shares specified above. This SAR represents the right, upon exercise, to receive a number of Shares with a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which this SAR is
exercised and (ii) excess of (A) the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the date of exercise over (B) the SAR Base Price specified above. 







 3. Vesting and Exercisability of SAR. 

(a) Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, the SAR subject to this grant shall vest as follows, provided
that the Participant is then employed by the Company and/or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates on each such vesting date: (i) thirty percent (30%) on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, (ii) thirty percent (30%) on the
second anniversary of the Grant Date, (iii) twenty percent (20%) on the third anniversary of the Grant Date, and (iv) twenty percent (20%) the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date. To the extent that the SARs have become vested
with respect to a percentage of the SARs granted, the SARs may thereafter be exercised by the Participant, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to the expiration of the SARs. 

(b) Certain Terminations. Any unvested portion of this SAR shall immediately become vested upon a Termination due to (i) the
Participant’s death, (ii) the Participant’s Disability, (iii) a Termination by the Company without Cause or (iv) a Termination by the Participant for Good Reason. 

(c) Change in Control. Any unvested portion of this SAR shall immediately become vested upon the six (6) month anniversary of
a Change in Control; provided the Participant is continuously employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries through such date. 

(d) Expiration. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan and/or this Agreement, this SAR
shall expire and shall no longer be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the Grant Date. 
 4.
Termination. 
 (a) Termination by Reason of Death or Disability. If a Participant’s Termination is by
reason of death or Disability, any portion of this SAR that is held by such Participant that is vested and exercisable at the time of the Participant’s Termination may be exercised by the Participant (or, in the case of death, by the legal
representative of the Participant’s estate) at any time within a one-year period from the date of such Termination, but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated term of this SAR; provided, however, if the Participant dies within such
exercise period, all unexercised SARs held by such Participant shall thereafter be exercisable, to the extent to which they were exercisable at the time of death, for a period of one year from the date of such death, but in no event beyond the
expiration of the stated term of this SAR. 
 (b) Termination Other Than for Cause or by Reason of Death or Disability.
If a Participant’s Termination is for any reason other than for Cause, or due to the Participant’s death or Disability, any portion of this SAR that is held by such Participant that is vested and exercisable at the time of the
Participant’s Termination may be exercised by the Participant at any time within a period of 90 days from the date of such Termination, but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated term of this SAR. 

  
 2 








 (c) Termination for Cause. If a Participant’s Termination is for Cause any
portion of this SAR, whether vested or unvested, that is held by such Participant shall thereupon terminate and expire as of the date of such Termination. 
 (d) Unvested SARs. Any portion of this SAR that is not vested as of the date of a Participant’s Termination for any reason shall terminate and expire as of the date of such Termination.

 5. Dividends and Other Distributions. If the Company makes an Extraordinary Distribution then, to reflect such
Extraordinary Distribution, this SAR shall be adjusted to retain the pre-Extraordinary Distribution spread by (i) decreasing the Base Price, in a manner consistent with Section 409A of the Code or (ii) if the Base Price, as adjusted,
would be less than twenty-five (25%) of the value of the Company’s common stock post-Extraordinary Distribution, the Participant shall be granted dividend equivalent rights for the balance of the lost spread, such rights to be payable in
cash upon vesting of the related SAR. Any adjustment described in clause (i) shall be implemented in accordance with, and to the extent permitted by, Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D). 

6. Method of Exercise and Payment. Subject to Section 15.8 of the Plan, this SAR shall be exercised by the Participant
by delivering to the Company or its designated agent on any business day a written notice, in such manner and form as may be required by the Company, specifying the number of Shares subject to this SAR the Participant then desires to exercise (the
“Exercise Notice”). 
 7. Forfeiture and Clawback. In the event the Company determines that the
Participant has materially violated any of the provisions set forth in Section 8 hereto, and has failed to cure such violation within fifteen (15) days of written notice that is given within thirty (30) days of the Company becoming
aware of such violation, unless otherwise determined by the Company, the following shall result: 
 (a) any outstanding portion
of this SAR, whether vested or unvested, shall immediately be terminated and forfeited for no consideration, 
 (b) if the
Participant has been distributed Shares under this SAR award and the Participant no longer holds some or all of such Shares, the Participant shall repay to the Company, in cash, within five (5) business days after demand is made therefore by
the Company (which must be made within thirty (30) days of such failure to cure), an amount equal to the sum of (I) the total amount of any cash previously paid to the Participant hereunder; and (II) the total amount of any value received
by the Participant upon any disposition of any Shares paid to the Participant hereunder; and 
 (c) if the Participant has been
distributed Shares under this SAR award and the Participant (or any Participant Entities or Permitted Transferees (as such terms are defined in Annex A attached hereto)), continues to hold some or all of such Shares, the Participant shall forfeit
and transfer to the Company for no consideration such Shares. If the Participant fails to deliver all or any of the Shares within the time period set forth under this Section 7(c) or under Section 7 of Annex A, then the Secretary of the
Company shall be authorized to effect the Company’s repurchase of such Shares on the Company’s books and records, without further notice.

 8. Restrictive Covenants. As a condition to the receipt of the SARs and/or
exercise of the SARs, the Participant agrees as follows: 
 (a) Confidentiality, Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition
Agreement. The Company and the Participant acknowledge and agree that during the Participant’s employment with the Company, the Participant will have access to and may assist in developing Confidential Information and will occupy a position
of trust and confidence with respect to the affairs and business of the Company and its Affiliates. The Participant agrees that the obligations set forth in this Section 8 are necessary to preserve the confidential and proprietary nature of
Confidential Information and to protect the Company and its Affiliates against harmful solicitation of employees and customers, harmful competition and other actions by the Participant that would result in serious adverse consequences for the
Company and its Affiliates. 
 (b) Non-Disclosure. During and after the Participant’s employment with the Company,
the Participant will not use, disclose, copy or transfer any Confidential Information other than as authorized in writing by the Company or within the scope of the Participant’s duties with the Company as determined reasonably and in good faith
by the Participant. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 8(b) shall not apply (i) when disclosure is required by law or by any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative or legislative body
(including any committee thereof) with actual or apparent jurisdiction to order the Participant to disclose or make accessible any information; provided that prior to any such disclosure the Participant shall provide the Company with reasonable
notice of the requirements to disclose and an opportunity to object to such disclosure and the Participant shall cooperate with the Company in filing such objection; or (ii) as to information that becomes generally known to the public or within
the relevant trade or industry other than due to the Participant’s violation of this Section 8(b). 
 (c)
Materials. The Participant will use Confidential Information only for normal and customary use in the Company’s business, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Company. The Participant will return to the Company all
Confidential Information and copies thereof and all other property of the Company or any of its Affiliate at any time upon the request of the Company and in any event immediately after termination of Participant’s employment. The Participant
agrees to identify and return to the Company any copies of any Confidential Information after the Participant ceases to be employed by the Company. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing in this Section 8 shall prevent the
Participant from retaining a home computer (provided all Confidential Information has been removed), papers and other materials of a personal nature, including diaries, calendars and Rolodexes, information relating to his/her compensation or
relating to reimbursement of expenses, information that may be needed for tax purposes, and copies of plans, programs and agreements relating to his/her employment. 
 (d) No Solicitation or Hiring of Employees. During the Non-Compete Period, the Participant shall not solicit, entice, persuade or induce any individual who is employed by the Company or its
Affiliates (or who was so employed within twelve (12) months prior to the 

  
 4 








 
Participant’s action) to terminate or refrain from continuing such employment or to become employed by or enter into contractual relations with any other individual or entity other than the
Company or its Affiliates, and the Participant shall not hire, directly or indirectly, for himself or any other person, as an employee, consultant or otherwise, any such person. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company agrees that
(i) the Participant’s responding to an unsolicited request from any former employee of the Company for advice on employment matters; and (ii) the Participant’s responding to an unsolicited request for an employment reference
regarding any former employee of the Company from such former employee, or from a third party, by providing a reference setting forth his/her personal views about such former employee, shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 8(d); in
each case, to the extent the Participant does not encourage the former employee to become employed by a company or business that employs the Participant or with which the Participant is otherwise associated (including, but not limited to,
association as a sole proprietor, owner, employer, partner, principal, investor, joint venturer, shareholder, associate, employee, member, consultant, contractor, director or otherwise). 

(e) Non-Competition. 
 (i) During the Non-Compete Period, the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, (A) solicit, service, or assist any other individual, person, firm or other entity in soliciting or servicing any
Customer for the purpose of providing and/or selling any products that are provided and/or sold by the Company or its subsidiaries, or performing any services that are performed by the Company or its subsidiaries, (B) interfere with or damage
(or attempt to interfere with or damage) any relationship and/or agreement between the Company or its subsidiaries and any Customer or (C) associate (including, but not limited to, association as a sole proprietor, owner, employer, partner,
principal, investor, joint venturer, shareholder, associate, employee, member, consultant, contractor, director or otherwise) with any Competitive Enterprise; provided, however, that Participant may own, as a passive investor, securities of any such
entity that has outstanding publicly traded securities so long as his/her direct holdings in any such entity shall not in the aggregate constitute more than 1% of the voting power of such entity. The Participant agrees that, before providing
services, whether as an employee or consultant, to any entity during the Non-Compete Period, he/she will provide a copy of this Agreement to such entity, and such entity shall acknowledge to the Company in writing that it has read this Agreement.
The Participant acknowledges that this covenant has a unique, very substantial and immeasurable value to the Company, that the Participant has sufficient assets and skills to provide a livelihood for the Participant while such covenant remains in
force and that, as a result of the foregoing, in the event that the Participant breaches such covenant, monetary damages would be an insufficient remedy for the Company and equitable enforcement of the covenant would be proper. 

(ii) If the restrictions contained in Section 8(e)(i) shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be
unenforceable by reason of their extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of their being too extensive in any other respect, Section 8(e)(i) shall be modified to be effective for the maximum
period of time for which it may be enforceable and over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable and to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable. 

  
 5 








 (f) Conflicting Obligations and Rights. The Participant agrees to inform the Company
of any apparent conflicts between the Participant’s work for the Company and any obligations the Participant may have to preserve the confidentiality of another’s proprietary information or related materials before using the same on the
Company’s behalf. The Company shall receive such disclosures in confidence and consistent with the objectives of avoiding any conflict of obligations and rights or the appearance of any conflict of interest. 

(g) Enforcement. The Participant acknowledges that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Section 8, the
business interests of the Company and its Affiliates will be irreparably injured, the full extent of the damages to the Company and its Affiliates will be impossible to ascertain, monetary damages will not be an adequate remedy for the Company and
its Affiliates, and the Company will be entitled to enforce this Agreement by a temporary, preliminary and/or permanent injunction or other equitable relief, without the necessity of posting bond or security, which the Participant expressly waives.
The Participant understands that the Company may waive some of the requirements expressed in this Agreement, but that such a waiver to be effective must be made in writing and should not in any way be deemed a waiver of the Company’s right to
enforce any other requirements or provisions of this Agreement. The Participant agrees that each of the Participant’s obligations specified in this Agreement is a separate and independent covenant and that the unenforceability of any of them
shall not preclude the enforcement of any other covenants in this Agreement. 
 9. Conditions. As a condition to
the receipt of this SAR award, the Participant acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the terms set forth in Sections 9(a) and 9(b) below. 
 (a) Release of Prior Awards. By acceptance of this SAR award, the Participant hereby releases any rights and/or claims the Participant may have associated with, or in any way related to, any equity
awards granted by the Company or any of its Affiliates prior to the Effective Date of the Plan.

Stockholder’s Agreement. In consideration of this SAR award, the Participant agrees to be bound by the terms of Annex A attached hereto, which is incorporated in, and made a part of, this Agreement.

any way at any time by the Participant (or any beneficiary(ies) of the Participant) and (iii) shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar legal process. Any attempt to sell, exchange, pledge, transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise
dispose of this SAR, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar legal process upon this SAR, contrary to the terms of this Agreement and/or the Plan, shall be null and void and without legal force or effect.

without notice.

Tax. 
 (a) General. As a condition to the distribution of Shares to the Participant, the Participant shall be

hereby agrees that the Participant will be bound by and will comply with the provisions of this Annex A. 
 1.
Definitions. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Masonite Worldwide Holdings Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). 

2. Issuance of Stock and Awards. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth and as set forth in the Plan or any
other Company plan providing for the grant, purchase or award of Stock and the Award Agreement(s), as of the Effective Date, the Company is issuing Awards to the Participant. The Parties are entering into Award Agreement(s) concurrently with the
issuance of the Awards and the execution and delivery of this Agreement. 
 3. Participant’s Representations, Warranties
and Agreements. 
 (a) In addition to agreeing to and acknowledging the restrictions on Transfer of the Stock set forth in
Sections 4 and 5, prior to the date on which the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act (or otherwise becomes a reporting company under the Exchange Act), if the Participant is an Affiliate of the Company, the
Participant also agrees and acknowledges that notwithstanding the provisions in Section 4, if the Participant has received written notification of such requirement, the Participant will not Transfer any shares of Stock to any Person unless
counsel for the Participant (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company) shall have furnished the Company with an opinion, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, that registration of such Transfer is not
required under applicable law because of the availability of an exemption from registration under applicable law. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that no opinion of counsel is required in connection with: (x) a Transfer permitted by or made pursuant to Sections 4(a), 5, or 6 hereof, Section 9 of the Shareholders Agreement, or
Section 22 of the Articles, or (y) a Transfer permitted upon the death or Disability of the Participant to the Participant’s Estate or a Transfer permitted to the executors, administrators, testamentary trustees, legatees or
beneficiaries of a person who has become a holder of the Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that it is expressly understood that any such transferee shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. 

(b) From and after the date hereof and until such time as the Transfer restrictions set forth in Section 4 no longer apply to such
Stock and the Company has reissued a certificate representing such Stock, in addition to any other requirements set forth in the Shareholders Agreement or in any other applicable document, the certificate (or certificates) representing the shares of
Stock shall bear legends in substantially the following form: 
 “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY STATE 







 
SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM AND, IN EACH
CASE, IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. 
 THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED,
SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS SUCH TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION COMPLIES WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE EQUITY GRANT AGREEMENT DATED AS OF [DATE] BETWEEN MASONITE INC.
(THE “COMPANY”) AND THE INDIVIDUAL NAMED ON THE FACE HEREOF (A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY).” 
 (c) The Participant acknowledges that he/she has been advised that (i) a restrictive legend in the form heretofore set forth shall be placed on the certificates representing the shares of Stock and
(ii) a notation shall be made in the appropriate records of the Company indicating that the Stock is subject to restrictions on Transfer and appropriate stop Transfer restrictions will, if applicable, be issued to the Company’s transfer
agent with respect to the Stock. The Participant acknowledges that the Stock may be subject to restricted periods or seasonings periods under applicable securities legislation, regulations and rules of each of the provinces and territories in Canada
and the blanket rulings, orders, policy statements and written interpretations issued by the regulatory authorities administering such legislation (collectively, “Canadian Securities Laws”) and that he or she must not transfer, sell
or otherwise trade the Stock unless permitted under Canadian Securities Laws. If a Participant is an Affiliate of the Company, the Participant also acknowledges that (1) the Stock must be held indefinitely and the Participant must continue to
bear the economic risk of the investment in the Stock unless it is subsequently registered under the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available, (2) when and if the Stock may be
disposed of without registration in reliance on Rule 144 of the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act, such disposition can be made only in limited amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions of such rule and (3) if
the Rule 144 exemption is not available, public sale without registration will require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. 

(d) If any shares of Stock are to be disposed of in accordance with an applicable resale exemption or otherwise, the Participant shall
promptly notify the Company of such intended disposition in accordance with Section 4 and shall deliver to the Company at, or prior to, the time of such disposition such other documentation as the Company may reasonably request in connection
with such sale and, in the case of a disposition pursuant to Rule 144, shall deliver to the Company an executed copy of any notice on Form 144 required to be filed with the SEC. 

(e) The Participant agrees that, if any shares of Stock are offered in a Public Offering (other than registration of securities issued on
Form S-8, S-4 or any successor or similar

Repurchase Price.

default or an event of default on the part of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company under any loan, guarantee or other agreement under which the Company or any subsidiary of the Company has borrowed money or if the repurchase by the Company

exercisable until the repurchase of such Awards pursuant to such Call Notice; provided that to the extent that any Awards vest and/or are exercised after the date of such Call Notice, the number of shares of Stock subject to repurchase shall
be increased by the same proportion of Stock subject to the Call Notice calculated by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Stock that are acquired after the date of the Call Notice by (y) the quotient of (I) the number of shares of
Stock to set forth in the Call Notice over (II) the aggregate number of shares of Stock held by the Participant on the date of the Call Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event exists and is continuing for ninety (90) days, the
Participant Entities shall be permitted by written notice to cause the Company to rescind any Call Notice but the Company shall have another thirty (30) days from the date of such the Event ceases to exist to give another Call Notice on the

mutually agreed upon in writing between the Company and the Participant holding such Stock hereto, whether or not at the time of such purchase, redemption or acquisition circumstances exist which specifically grant the Company the right to purchase,
or the Participant the right to sell, Stock or any Awards under the terms of this Agreement; provided that no such purchase, redemption or acquisition shall be consummated, and no agreement with respect to any such purchase, redemption or
acquisition shall be entered into, without the prior approval of the Board.

in substitution of, Stock or Awards by reason of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, spin-off, partial or complete liquidation, stock dividend, split-up, sale of assets, distribution to stockholders or

 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if there is a separate employment, change in control
or severance agreement in effect between the Participant and the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates (“Separate Agreement”) that contains an arbitration or a dispute resolution provision similar to the provisions
contained herein, the provision in that Separate Agreement shall govern any controversy hereunder as opposed to the provisions set forth herein. 
 20. Remedies. Each of the Parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce its rights under this Agreement specifically, to recover damages and costs (including reasonable attorney’s
fees) caused by any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in its favor. The Parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of
this Agreement and that any Party may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or deposit) for specific performance and/or other injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent
any violations of the provisions of this Agreement. 
 21. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any
jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

shares or other benefits shall be deferred if deferral will make such payment, delivery of shares or other benefits compliant under Section 409A of the Code, otherwise such payment, delivery of shares or other benefits shall be restructured, to
the extent possible, in a manner, determined by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Participant, that does not cause such an accelerated or additional tax.
