MANAGEMENT STOCK PURCHASE PLAN




 






First Amendment and Restatement




 






     Effective as of May 19, 2005, Gibraltar Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices
at 3556 Lake Shore Road, Buffalo, New York (the “Company”) established the Gibraltar Industries,
Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) to enable the Company to grant awards of
equity based compensation its employees and to non-employee directors, consultants and service
providers.



     In addition, effective as of May 19, 2005, the Company established the Gibraltar Industries,
Inc. Management Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) to set forth a uniform set of principals under
which certain of the Company’s management employees would be permitted to purchase Restricted Stock
Units which the Company is authorized to issue pursuant to the Omnibus Plan.



     Pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the Omnibus Plan, the Plan is to be treated as an
instrument evidencing the grant of an Award under the Omnibus Plan.



     The Company now desires to amend and restate the Plan to permit the Company’s non-Employee
Directors to elect to defer their receipt of their Director Fees and to have Restricted Stock Units
credited to an Account established for their benefit under the Plan in lieu of their receipt of
their Director Fees and to make certain other technical changes.



     In connection with the foregoing, the Company hereby adopts the following as the First

ARTICLE 2.

OVERVIEW OF PLAN OPERATION




     2.01 General Description of Plan Operation. In general, the Plan will be operated in
the manner described in this Section 2.01. The more specific provisions relating to the Plan and
its operation are contained in the remaining Articles of this Plan.



          (a) Individual Employees will be selected for participation in the Plan by the Committee.
Each non-Employee Director will, by virtue of such status, be eligible to participate in the Plan.




          (b) If an Employee is selected for participation in the Plan the Employee will be entitled to
defer receipt of up to fifty percent (50%) of the Bonus that the Employee is entitled to receive
under the Annual Bonus Plan. In addition, each Eligible Director will be entitled to defer up to
one hundred percent (100%) of his Director Fees.




          (c) Due to applicable tax rules, an Eligible Employee that elects to defer his receipt of
payment of a portion of his Bonus must file his election to defer a portion of his Bonus with the
Committee no later than June 30 of the calendar year in which he performs the services which will
give rise to his entitlement to payment of the Bonus to be deferred. In addition, due to these
applicable tax rules, an Eligible Director that elects to defer any portion of his Director Fees
must file his election to defer any portion of his Director Fees with the Committee no later than
December 31 of the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which the Director Fees
which he is electing to defer will be paid.




          (d) If an Eligible Employee elects to defer his receipt of payment of a portion of his Bonus,
at the time his Bonus is payable (which is in the calendar year following the year in which he
makes his election to defer his Bonus), the portion of his Bonus which he has elected to defer will
not be paid to him and, instead, the Committee will credit an Account which will be established for
his benefit with a number of Restricted Units equal to the number of Shares he could have purchased
using the deferred portion of his Bonus at a price per Share equal to the




7









 







Fair Market Value of a
Share on the date he receives payment of his Bonus.




          (e) If an Eligible Director elects to defer his receipt of payment of any portion of his
Director Fees, on each date that he is entitled to payment of any portion of his Director Fees,
whether attributable to Retainer Fees, fees for attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors or
any committee thereof, or any other fees, a portion (stated as a percentage) of his Director Fees
which he has elected to defer will not be paid to him and, instead, the Committee will credit an
Account which will be established for his benefit with a number of Restricted Units equal to the
number of Shares he could have purchased using the deferred portion of his Director Fees at a price
per Share equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share determined as of the date Director Fee Deferral
Units are to be allocated to the Director’s Account as provided for in the Deferred Director Fee
Election Form.




          (f) In addition to the Bonus Deferral Units that are credited to the Account of a Participant
that is an Eligible Employee as described in (d) above, at the same time that Bonus Deferral Units
are credited to such Eligible Employee’s Account, the Committee will credit the Eligible Employee’s
Account with an additional number of Restricted Units (Matching Units) which have an aggregate Fair
Market Value, determined as of the date that Bonus Deferral Units are credited to the Account of
the Eligible Employee, equal to the total amount of the Bonus which was deferred by the Eligible
Employee multiplied by the Eligible Employee’s Matching Percentage. Similarly, in addition to the
Director Fee Deferral Units credited to the Account of a Participant that is an Eligible Director
as described in (e) above, at the same time that Director Fee Deferral Units are credited to such
Eligible Director’s Account, the Committee will credit the Eligible Director’s Account with an
additional number of Matching Units equal to the number of Retainer Fee Deferral Units, if any,
credited to the Eligible Director’s Account.




          (g) The total value of the Restricted Units credited to the Account of a Participant that is
an Eligible Employee will not be distributable to the Eligible Employee until the Eligible
Employee’s employment is terminated or, if earlier, the date a Change in Control occurs. However,
if the Eligible Employee’s employment is terminated before he has attained age sixty (60), the
Matching Units credited to the Eligible Employee’s Account will be forfeited and the amount which
is distributable to the Eligible Employee will only consist of an amount equal to the value of the
Bonus Deferral Units credited to the Eligible Employee’s Account.




          (h) The total value of the Restricted Units credited to the Account of a Participant that is
an Eligible Director will not be distributable to the Eligible Director until the date on which the
Eligible Director’s status as a member of the Board of Directors is terminated or, if earlier, the
date a Change in Control occurs. However, if the Eligible Director’s status as a member of the
Board of Directors is terminated before he has attained age sixty (60), the Matching Units credited
to the Eligible Director’s Account will be forfeited and the amount which is distributable to the
Eligible Director will only consist of an amount equal to the value of the Retainer Fee Deferral
Units credited to the Eligible Director’s Account.




          (i) At the time a Participant becomes entitled to a distribution, the number of Restricted
Units credited to the Participant’s Account (and not forfeited) will be converted (hypothetically
and for accounting purposes only) to a cash amount equal to the total number of




8









 







Restricted Units
credited to the Participant’s Account (and not forfeited) multiplied by the Fair Market Value of
one Share determined as of the date the Participant becomes entitled to a
distribution. However, as indicated in Sections 2.01(g) and (h) above, if the Participant’s
employment or status as a member of the Board of Directors is terminated before he has attained at
least age sixty (60), the total number of Restricted Units which are credited to the Participant’s
Account will not include any Matching Units.




          (j) If the Participant is entitled to a distribution because his employment has been
terminated or his status as a member of the Board of Directors has been terminated, the cash value
of the Participant’s Account will be distributed to the Participant in five (5) substantially equal
annual payments beginning in the month of January following the date the Participant’s employment
is terminated and continuing in each subsequent January thereafter until the full value of the
Participant’s Account has been distributed. This five (5) year period for distribution of the
Participant’s Account can be extended for up to ten (10) years subject to applicable Internal
Revenue Code provisions relating to the deferral of Compensation. The installment payments
required to be made to the Participant as described above in this Section 2.01(j) shall be paid in
cash less applicable withholding taxes.




          (k) During the period between the date the Participant’s Account is converted to cash and the
date the entire value of the Participant’s Account is distributed, the value of the Account shall
be increased by interest at an annual rate equal to the Applicable Interest Rate, compounded
annually.




          (l) If a Participant is entitled to a distribution because a Change in Control has occurred,
on the date such Change in Control occurs, each Participant shall be paid an amount, in one lump
sum payment less applicable withholding taxes, equal to the total number of Restricted Units
credited to the Participant’s Account multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one Share determined
as of the date on which the Change in Control occurs.

performed for the Company for a calendar year, the portion of the Bonus which the Participant has
elected to defer the receipt of (as set forth in the Deferred Bonus Election Form which the
Participant has delivered to the Committee) shall not be paid to the Participant at the time such
Bonus would otherwise have been paid and, instead, the Participant’s Account shall be credited with
a number of Bonus Deferral Units equal to the number of Shares (including fractional Shares) which
could have been purchased with the amount of the Bonus that has been deferred by the Participant at
a price per Share equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share determined as of the date on which the

Plan.

ARTICLE 5.

DEFERRAL OF DIRECTOR FEES




     5.01 Director Fee Deferrals. Each Eligible Director shall be entitled to defer his
receipt of all or any portion of his Director Fees by executing and delivering a Deferred Director
Fee Election Form to the Committee within the time provided for by Section 5.02 hereof. An
Eligible Director’s election to defer any portion of his Director Fees shall become irrevocable
upon his delivery to the Committee of his executed Deferred Director Fee Election Form.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any individual who first becomes a member of the
Board of Directors after the effective date of this amendment and restatement, the maximum amount
of the Director Fee which may be deferred by such Eligible Director in the first calendar year that
such individual is an Eligible Director shall be equal to the Director Fee payable to such Eligible
Director for the first calendar year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of days remaining in the calendar year beginning on the date the Eligible Director delivers his
executed Deferred Director Fee Election Form to the Committee and the denominator of which is the
number of days remaining in the calendar year beginning on the date the Eligible Director first
becomes a member of the Board of Directors.



     5.02 Procedure for Making Director Fee Deferrals. In order for an Eligible Director
to defer his receipt of any portion of the Director Fees which he is entitled to receive for any
calendar year, he must execute and deliver a Deferred Director Fee Election Form to the Committee
on or before December 31 of the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which any
portion of the Director Fees to be deferred by the Eligible Director are to be paid. With respect
to Director Fees payable to an Eligible Director for the first calendar year in which the
individual is an Eligible Director, the Eligible Director must execute and deliver a Deferred
Director Fee Election Form to the Committee within thirty (30) days following his election to
membership on the Board of Directors in order to defer his receipt of any portion of such Director
Fees.



     5.03 Effect of Director Fee Deferrals. If an Eligible Director elects to defer his
receipt of any portion of the Director Fees payable to the Eligible Director for a calendar year,
the portion of the Director Fees which the Eligible Director has elected to defer the receipt of
(as set forth in the Deferred Director Fee Election Form which the Eligible Director has delivered
to the Committee) shall be withheld from the Director Fees which are payable to the Eligible
Director for the calendar year in which the Eligible Director has elected to defer his receipt of
any portion of his Director Fees and instead, the Eligible Director’s Account shall be credited
with a number of Director Fee Deferral Units equal to the number of Shares (including fractional
shares) which could have been purchased with the amount of the Director Fees withheld from
Directors Fees otherwise payable to the Eligible Director at a price per Share equal to the Fair
Market Value of a Share determined as of the date the Director Fee Deferral Units are allocated to
the Eligible Director’s Account as provided for in the Deferred Director Fee Election Form. In
addition, if an Eligible Director has elected to defer any portion of his Retainer Fee, the total
number of Director Fee Deferral Units to be allocated to the Account of the eligible Director shall
include (in a sub-account to be established by the Committee) a number of Retainer Fee Deferral
Units equal to the number of Shares which could have been purchased with the amount of the Retainer
Fee withheld from the Eligible Director’s Retainer Fee at a price per Share equal

to the Fair
Market Value of a
Share determined as of the date the full amount of the Eligible Director’s Retainer Fee (or
any applicable installment thereof) would otherwise have been paid to the Eligible Director.




ARTICLE 6.

MATCHING AND OTHER ALLOCATIONS




     6.01 Matching Allocations. For each Plan Year that this Plan is in effect, the
Company shall make an allocation of Matching Units to the Account of each Eligible Employee with
respect to whom Bonus Deferral Units have been credited as provided for by Section 4.03 and, if an
Eligible Director has elected to defer any portion of his Retainer Fee, to the Account of each
Eligible Director with respect to whom Retainer Fee Deferral Units have been credited as provided
for by Section 5.03. The number of Matching Units to be credited to the Account of an Eligible
Employee for any Plan Year in which Bonus Deferral Units have been credited to such Eligible
Employee’s Account shall be equal to the aggregate number of Shares (including fractional shares)
which could be purchased, at a price per share equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share determined
as of the date that Bonus Deferral Units are credited to the Eligible Employee’s Account, with an
amount equal to: (a) the aggregate amount of the Bonus deferred by the Eligible Employee;
multiplied by (b) the Eligible Employee’s Matching Percentage. The number of Matching Units to be
credited to the Account of an Eligible Director for any Plan Year in which Retainer Fee Deferral
Units have been credited to such Eligible Director’s Account shall be the same as the number of
Retainer Fee Deferral Units credited to the Eligible Director’s Account for such Plan Year.



     6.02 Forfeiture of Matching Units. If an Eligible Employee’s employment with the
Company is terminated before he has attained at least age sixty (60), the Matching Units credited
to the Eligible Employee’s Account shall be forfeited on the date the Eligible Employee’s
employment is terminated. If an Eligible Director’s service as a member of the Board of Directors
of the Company is terminated before he has attained age sixty (60), the Matching Units credited to
the Eligible Director’s Account shall be forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Eligible
Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated in connection with a Change in Control or if
an Eligible Director’s service with the Company is terminated in connection with a Change in
Control, the number of Matching Units credited to the Account of the Eligible Employee and the
number of Matching Units credited to the Account of the Eligible Director shall not be forfeited
even though the Eligible Employee or the Eligible Director has not attained age sixty (60).



     6.03 Certain Anti-Dilutive Adjustments. In the event of any change in the number of
outstanding Shares of Common Stock without receipt of consideration by the Company resulting from
any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up,
combination or exchange of Shares, or any rights offering to purchase Shares of Common Stock at a
price substantially below fair market value, or any similar change affecting the Shares of Common
Stock the number of Restricted Units credited to a Participant’s Account on the date of such change
shall be appropriately adjusted consistent with such change in such manner as the Committee, in its
sole discretion, may deem equitable to prevent substantial



12









 




dilution or enlargement of the rights
granted to, or available for, the Participants hereunder.




ARTICLE 7.

ACCOUNTS




     7.01 Participant’s Account. The Committee shall establish and maintain an Account in
the name of each Eligible Employee to which the Committee shall allocate Bonus Deferral Units and
Matching Units. In addition, the Committee shall establish and maintain an Account in the name of
each Eligible Director to which the Committee shall allocate Director Fee Deferral Units
(including, if applicable, a sub account separately identifying the number of Director Fee Deferral
Units which are Retainer Fee Deferral Units) and Matching Units. Thereafter, at the time a
Participant becomes entitled to a distribution of the value of the Restricted Units credited to his
Account, the Participant’s Account shall be credited (hypothetically and for accounting purposes
only) with a dollar amount determined as provided in Section 8.01 below. The Accounts established
by the Committee for Participants in connection with its administration of this Plan shall be for
recordkeeping purposes and shall not require any segregation of any assets of the Company.



     7.02 Time of Allocation. In each Plan Year in which an Eligible Employee defers the
amount of the Bonus which is payable to him in such Plan Year (which Bonus deferral is based on the
Eligible Employee’s election, made in the preceding Plan Year, to defer the payment of any bonus
the Eligible Employee might earn for such preceding Plan Year), the Bonus Deferral Units and
Matching Units required to be allocated to the Eligible Employee’s Account shall be allocated to
the Eligible Employee’s Account as of the date payment is made to the Eligible Employee of the
portion of his Bonus (attributable to services performed in the preceding Plan Year) which has not
been deferred. In each Plan Year in which an Eligible Director defers any portion of the Director
Fees which are payable to him in such Plan Year (which Director Fee deferral is based on the
Eligible Director’s election, made in the preceding Plan Year), the Director Fee Deferral Units
required to be allocated to the Eligible Director’s Account shall be allocated to the Eligible
Director’s Account as of the date provided for in the Deferred Director Fee Election Form and, if
the Eligible Director has elected to defer any portion of his Retainer Fee, Matching Units
attributable to the Eligible Director’s deferral of a portion of his Retainer Fee shall be
allocated to the Eligible Director’s Account on the date provided for in the Deferred Director Fee
Election Form.



     7.03 Allocation Does Not Vest Any Interest. The fact that Bonus Deferral Units,
Director Fee Deferral Units and Matching Units have been allocated to the Account of a Participant
shall not vest in such Participant or any Beneficiary any right, title or interest in any assets of
the Company except at such time or times and upon the terms and conditions herein provided.



     7.04 Statement of Account. At the time that Bonus Deferral Units, Director Fee
Deferral Units and Matching Units are credited to a Participant’s Account (as provided for in
Section 7.02 above) the Committee shall provide a written notice to the Participant which states
the number of Bonus Deferral Units or the number of Director Fee Deferral Units (whichever the case
may be) and the number of Matching Units credited to the Participant’s Account in



13









 




connection with
the Participant’s deferral of his receipt of a portion of his Bonus or the Participant’s deferral
of his receipt of a portion of his Director Fees, together with a statement of
the total number of Bonus Deferral Units or the total number of Director Fee Deferral Units
(whichever the case may be) and the total number of Matching Units credited to the Participant’s
Account as of such date. In addition, as soon as practicable following the end of each Plan Year,
the Committee shall deliver: (a) to each Eligible Employee that is a Participant, a statement of
the total number of Bonus Deferral Units and Matching Units which are credited to the Eligible
Employee’s Account; and (b) to each Eligible Director that is a Participant, a statement of the
total number of Director Fee Deferral Units and Matching Units which are credited to the Eligible
Director’s Account. Finally, if, as provided by Section 8.01 hereof, the Participant’s Account is
converted to cash (for accounting purposes), as soon as practicable following the end of each Plan
Year that the Participant continues to have a balance in his Account, the Committee shall deliver
to such Participant a statement of the value of the Participant’s Account and the amount of
interest credited to the Participant’s Account for the Plan Year.




ARTICLE 8.

DISTRIBUTIONS




     8.01
Conversion of Account. (a) If an Eligible Employee’s employment with the
Company and all of its Affiliates is terminated, the Committee shall convert the total number of
Restricted Units credited to the Account of the Eligible Employee to a cash value equal to the
number of Restricted Units credited to the Eligible Employee’s Account determined as of the date
the Eligible Employee’s employment is terminated multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one Share
determined as of the day immediately preceding the date an Eligible Employee’s employment is
terminated. For purposes of this Section 8.01(a), the total number of Restricted Units which are
credited to a Eligible Employee’s Account as of the date the Eligible Employee’s employment is
terminated shall not include any Matching Units which are forfeited pursuant to the provisions of
Section 6.02 hereof.



          (b) If an Eligible Director’s membership on the Board of Directors is terminated, the
Committee shall convert the number of Restricted Units credited to the Account of the Eligible
Director to a cash value equal to the number of Restricted Units credited to the Eligible
Director’s Account determined as of the date the Eligible Director’s membership on the Board of
Directors is terminated multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one Share determined as of the day
immediately preceding the date the Eligible Director’s membership on the Board of Directors is
terminated. For purposes of this Section 8.01(b), the total number of Restricted Units which are
credited to an Eligible Director’s Account shall not include any Matching Units which are forfeited
pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.02 hereof.




          (c) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Committee shall convert the total number
of Restricted Units credited to the Accounts of all Participants to a cash value equal, in the case
of each Participant, to the number of Restricted Units credited to the Participant’s Account
determined as of the date the Change in Control occurs multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one
Share determined as of the date the Change in Control occurs. The conversion of the Participant’s
Account to a cash value shall be for accounting purposes only




14









 







and shall not require any segregation
of any assets of the Company.




     8.02 Crediting of Interest. Unless a Participant’s Account is distributed in one lump
sum payment pursuant to Section 8.06 hereof, at the end of each Plan Year following the occurrence
of an event giving rise to such installment distribution, the Committee shall increase the cash
value of the Participant’s Account by interest at an annual rate equal to the Applicable Interest
Rate. The amount of the interest to be credited to the Participant’s Account shall be compounded
annually.



     8.03 Distribution of the Participant’s Account. Except as provided in Section 8.04
below, if the employment of an Eligible Employee that is a Key Employee is terminated for any
reason other than death, the value of such Key Employee’s Account shall be distributed in five (5)
consecutive annual installments beginning in the month of January immediately following the end of
the six (6) month period beginning on the date the Key Employee’s employment is terminated and
continuing in each succeeding January thereafter until the fifth (5th) January following
the end of such six (6) month period, at which time the entire remaining balance in the Eligible
Employee’s Account shall be distributed to the Participant.



          In addition, except as provided in Section 8.04 below, if the employment of a an Eligible
Employee that is not a Key Employee is terminated or if the employment of an Eligible Employee that
is a Key Employee is terminated as a result of his death, the value of such Eligible Employee’s
Account shall be distributed to the Eligible Employee in five (5) consecutive annual installments
beginning in the month of January immediately following the date the Eligible Employee’s employment
is terminated and continuing in each succeeding January thereafter until the fifth (5th)
January following the date the Eligible Employee’s employment is terminated, at which time the
entire remaining balance in the Eligible Employee’s Account shall be distributed to the Eligible
Employee.




          Finally, if an Eligible Director’s membership on the Board of Directors is terminated, the
value of such Eligible Director’s Account shall be distributed to the Eligible Director in five (5)
consecutive annual installments beginning in the month of January immediately following the date
the Eligible Director’s membership on the Board of Directors is terminated and continuing in each
succeeding January thereafter until the fifth (5th) January following the date the
Eligible Director’s membership on the Board of Directors is terminated at which time the entire
remaining balance in the Eligible Director’s Account shall be distributed to the Eligible Director.




          For purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.03, the amount of each annual
installment shall be equal to the value of the Participant’s Account determined as of the day
immediately preceding the date the installment is to be paid, divided by the total number of annual
installments remaining to be paid to the Participant.




     8.04 Optional Extension of Period of Distribution. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 8.03 hereof, a Participant shall be permitted to extend the period of time in which
distribution of the value of his Account is made to a period not to exceed ten (10) years beginning
with the first January following the date the Participant’s employment is terminated.



15









 




Any such
extension shall be made in accordance with and subject to any restrictions on the rights of
individuals to defer compensation provided for by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code
and the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder.




     8.05 Payment of Account. Amounts required to be distributed to a Participant pursuant
to Sections 8.03 and 8.04 shall be paid in one payment in the month of January in which any such
distribution is to be made, in cash, less the amount of any withholding taxes due with respect to
any such payment.



     8.06 Distribution on a Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control,
each Participant shall be paid an amount equal to the number of Restricted Units credited to his
Account, determined as of the date the Change in Control occurs, multiplied by the Fair Market
Value of a Share, determined as of the date the Change in Control occurs, less any applicable
withholding taxes. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the amount required to be paid to a
Participant shall be paid to the Participant in cash in one lump sum payment on the date the Change
in Control occurs.



     8.07 Distributions on Death. Any payment or distribution required to be made to a
Participant under the terms of this Plan shall, in the event of the death of the Participant, be
paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary at the same time and in the same manner as the payments would
have been made to the Participant if he had not died.
