Mr. Kirk Hachigian

	Re:	Management Employment Agreement - Management Position 

 Dear Kirk: 

This Management Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between JELD-WEN, inc.
(the “Company” or “JELD-WEN”) and you as of March 31, 2014 (the “Effective Date”). 

1. Job Position. Your position is CEO and Chairman of the Board with JELD-WEN, inc. and JELD-WEN Holding, inc. As of the Effective Date you will report to the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company will cover you under the Company’s D&O insurance policy as a named insured
consistent with coverage offered to the other Officers and Directors. You are expected to exert your best efforts and substantially all your professional time and attention to this position and the successful completion of the tasks and goals
mutually agreed upon. You may continue service on the boards of Allegion, PACCAR, and NextEra Energy Resources. Continued directorship on the PACCAR board will be revisited at the end of 2014. 

2. Base Salary. Your annual base salary is $750,000 and will be paid no less frequently than monthly. Base salaries are reviewed
once a year, usually in the first quarter of each year. At such time the Company may increase, but shall not decrease, your annual base salary. Annual salary increases, if any, will generally be effective on April 1 and announced prior to that
date. 
 3. Bonuses. You will participate in the JELD-WEN bonus plan. The Plan is based on
the achievement of certain financial targets determined annually by the Board. The target bonus for the CEO under the Plan is 100% of Base Salary with the opportunity to earn up to 200% of Base Salary if certain financial objectives are met. If the
Company does not meet a minimum threshold of financial performance no bonuses may be paid. 
 4. Equity Compensation. The
Company’s parent, JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. (“JWHI”) will grant an aggregate of 78,000 options to you in two tranches. One tranche will be exercisable for Common Stock and the other tranche will be
exercisable for a special class of Common Stock, which will convert into Common Stock on an accreting basis designed to mirror the accretion in the rate that the Preferred Stock converts into Common Stock. These option grants will be governed by
separate option agreements that will be provided to you and the Company’s Stock Option Plan. 
 5. Vacations. You shall be
entitled to four weeks paid vacation and any additional vacation time will be in accordance with JELD-WEN’s vacation policy. 







 6. Other Benefits. JELD-WEN provides you with a
number of other benefits that include, but are not necessarily limited to, group health insurance, group life insurance, a retirement plan, equity compensation and a salary continuation program (for disability or death). These and other relevant
benefits are further described in the “JELD-WEN Employee Handbook” and the Employee Benefit Analysis (EBA) summary issued annually around the end of May. Each program is subject to particular terms,
conditions and eligibility requirements. Any of those plans or programs may be modified by the Company. Your healthcare coverage will become effective on the first of the month following 60 days of employment. Until such time as your healthcare
coverage becomes effective, JELD-WEN will pay the premiums for your COBRA continuation coverage. 

6A. Certain Expenses. During the period you are employed under this Agreement the Company will lease an apartment for your use in
Charlotte, NC. You will also be entitled to receive expense reimbursement for the cost to cover reasonable office space in Houston, Texas, and for working remotely in Maine. 

In addition, you will be entitled the use of the Company aircraft for travel to and from JELD-WEN
locations, including your office in Houston, Texas and your work location in Maine. You will also be entitled the use of the Company aircraft for your personal use to be paid at your own expense provided that such usage does not interfere with the
usage requirements of the Company. 
 In the event that the use of the apartment in Charlotte or the use of the Company aircraft results in
taxable income to you, the Company will cover the cost of such tax. 
 In the event of a sale of the Company,
JELD-WEN will place into escrow an amount which would allow you to continue to buy equivalent annual coverage for healthcare for you and your family from a third-party through December 31, 2020. Such
amount will be used for its stated purpose only in the event the Company can no longer provide access to its healthcare plan, e.g., should the company become insolvent. For purposes of this Section, neither an initial public offering nor the
disposition by Onex of its shareholdings through secondary public market sales shall constitute a sale of the Company. 
 7.
Confidentiality. 
 (A) Trade Secrets. Due to your position of responsibility with
JELD-WEN, you may be exposed to confidential matters, including without limitation, matters relating to cost data, formulas, patterns, compilations, programs, devices, methods, techniques, processes,
manufacturing processes, business strategy and plans, customer information, pricing, JELD-WEN policies and procedures and other financial data. JELD-WEN regards all such
information as confidential and in many cases as trade secrets. We require that all such information be treated as confidential by you during your employment and not be discussed or disclosed to anyone who is not in a similar position of trust and
confidence with JELD-WEN and that any permissible communications be no broader or more extensive than is legitimately required to discharge your JELD-WEN work
responsibilities. If your JELD-WEN employment ends, you must continue in perpetuity or for the longest duration allowed by law to treat such information as strictly confidential and as trade secrets and not
discuss or disclose any such information to any outside party under any circumstances whatsoever, except as required by law. Furthermore, if your JELD-WEN employment ends, you must return to JELD-WEN all equipment, property, documents, records, etc., in your possession or control, including but not limited to the materials referenced in this provision without retaining any copies, prior to or upon your
departure. 







 (B)
Non-Competition/Non-Solicitation. In addition to the restrictions set forth above, you acknowledge that JELD-WEN has
invested substantial time, effort and expense in compiling confidential, trade secret information and assembling its present personnel. You further acknowledge that the unauthorized disclosure or release of such information in any form would
irreparably harm JELD-WEN. To protect the confidentiality of JELD-WEN’s proprietary trade secret information, and for good and valuable consideration, including but
not limited to your employment or continued employment, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, you agree that in the event you initiate the termination of your employment, you will not do the following for a period of two years or for a longer
duration as may be set forth in any other separate written agreement between you and JELD-WEN: 

(i) directly or indirectly compete with JELD-WEN (or any of its affiliates), accept
employment with any entity that directly or indirectly competes with JELD-WEN (or any of its affiliates) or otherwise approach, solicit or accept business from any customer, supplier or vendor of JELD-WEN (or any of its affiliates) in direct or indirect competition with JELD-WEN (or any of its affiliates); 

(ii) approach, counsel or attempt to induce any person who is then in the employ of
JELD-WEN (or its affiliates) to leave his or her employ; or employ or attempt to employ any such person or any person who at any time during the preceding twelve (12) months was in the employ of JELD-WEN (or its affiliates); or 
 (iii) aid, assist or counsel any other person, firm or
corporation to do any of the above. 
 In the event that any of this provision is held invalid or unenforceable because of the
unreasonableness of the scope of the subject matter, duration or geographical area, then this provision shall be effective to the greatest extent that such subject matter, duration, or geographical area may be determined reasonable by a court of
competent jurisdiction. 
 8. Intellectual Property. One of your responsibilities as a manager of
JELD-WEN is to look for ways of improving efficiency, quality, material usage, safety and other areas. Your thoughts and suggestions relating to innovations and improvements shall be submitted either formally
or informally to JELD-WEN and shall belong to JELD-WEN. 
 All intellectual
property (including, without limitation, all inventions, discoveries, patents, trademarks, copyrights, works, works of authorship, trade secrets, know-how and improvements) conceived, created, authored, or
contributed to by you, alone or with others, during your employment with JELD-WEN that is either (a) related to the business or anticipated business of JELD-WEN or
(b) within the scope of your employment, shall be JELD-WEN property, solely and exclusively. You agree without additional compensation to assign all right, title, and interest in and to any such
intellectual property to JELD-WEN to the extent you have not already done so previously or by statute, and to cooperate fully with JELD-WEN in procuring, maintaining,
protecting, defending, and enforcing such intellectual property, including without limitation disclosing such intellectual property to JELD-WEN and executing any necessary documents or performing reasonably
necessary acts to cause JELD-WEN’s rights in such intellectual property to be perfected. You further agree, at JELD-WEN’s request and expense, to apply for
letters patent or registration thereon in every jurisdiction designated by JELD-WEN. 







 You further acknowledge that your work on and contributions to documents, programs, and other
expressions in any tangible medium (collectively “Works”) are within the scope of your duties and responsibilities. Your work on and contribution to the Works will be rendered and made by you for, at the instigation of and under the
overall direction of JELD-WEN, and are and at all times shall be regarded, together with the Works, as “work made for hire” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Laws. Without
limiting this acknowledgement, you assign, grant, and deliver exclusively to JELD-WEN all right, title, and interest in and to any such Works, and all copies and versions, including all copyrights and
renewals. 
 This provision shall not require you to assign, or offer to assign, an invention that was developed entirely on your own time
without using any of JELD-WEN’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information, unless the invention either (a) relates at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the
invention to JELD-WEN’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of JELD-WEN or (b) results from any work performed by you for JELD-WEN, in which either case the immediately preceding paragraph shall apply and JELD-WEN shall own such invention. Your rights in this regard may be governed by Cal. Labor
Code Section 2870 or a similar statute. If any invention developed entirely on your own time relates in any way to the business or anticipated business of JELD-WEN (including, without limitation, possible
use in any products, processes, or designs used or sold by JELD-WEN, within a technical area of interest or possible interest to JELD-WEN, or possible use in a new
business line related to JELD-WEN’s business or anticipated business), or if you anticipate filing a patent application or otherwise seeking protection for the invention, then you agree to notify JELD-WEN’s Legal department in writing of such invention within a reasonable time after its conception (but in all cases prior to seeking protection for the invention), even if it was developed entirely on your
own time and you believe that JELD-WEN does not own the invention. In no way shall this paragraph limit any common-law, statutory, or other right provided to JELD-WEN, and JELD-WEN retains all such rights. Nor does this paragraph modify any confidentiality or other obligations owed to
JELD-WEN. 
 9. Employment at Will. Either you or
JELD-WEN, has the right to terminate the employment relationship at any time for any reason or for no reason, subject to the obligations set forth in this Agreement including the obligations of the Company set
forth in Section 11. Nothing in this Agreement or the relationship between you and JELD-WEN, either now or in the future, whether oral, written or implied, may be construed or interpreted to create an
employment relationship that is other than at-will. 
 10. Ethics. JELD-WEN strives to maintain a reputation for integrity, fair dealing and the highest standard of business ethics in all of its relationships, including suppliers and customers as well as JELD-WEN’s competitors. Commitment to these ethical principles is considered to be an integral part of your responsibilities. Along these lines, you confirm that you are not a party to any other agreement
(including agreements relating to invention assignment, confidentiality, non-competition, etc.) that may interfere with your JELD-WEN employment. To the extent that you
have protected proprietary information of any former employer, you must not make improper disclosures or use it on any work performed for JELD-WEN. 







 11 . Effect of Termination of Employment. 

(A) Termination by the Company for Cause or by You without Good Reason. If the Company terminates your employment for Cause or you
terminate your employment without Good Reason, you shall be entitled to receive only the Accrued Obligations. 
 (B) Termination by the
Company Without Cause or by You for Good Reason. If the Company terminates your employment without Cause or you terminate your employment for Good Reason at any time: 

(i) You shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Obligations; 

(ii) During the 18-month period following the date of termination and provided
you elect health insurance continuation coverage in accordance with the mandates of COBRA, the Company shall arrange to pay for such coverage for you at the same rate as it pays for its active employees; provided, that the Company shall not
provide any benefit otherwise receivable by you pursuant to this Section 11 (B)(ii) to the extent that a similar benefit is actually received by you from a subsequent employer during such period, and any such benefit actually received by you
shall be reported to the Company; and, provided further, that this paragraph (ii) shall not extend your period of COBRA entitlement beyond that mandated by law (the “Health Insurance Benefit”); and 

(iii) all options and stock appreciation rights to purchase Company common stock then held by you shall become immediately
vested and exercisable to the extent provided in the option and the applicable option plan. 
 (C) Death. If your employment is
terminated as a result of your death, you shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Obligations and the Health Insurance Benefit. 
 (D)
Disability. If your employment is terminated as a result of your Disability, you shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Obligations and the Health Insurance Benefit. 

(E) Date of Payment. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all cash payments required to be made pursuant to the provisions
of this Section 11 shall be paid (i) in the case of the Accrued Obligations, no later than the 30th day following such termination of provided that (x) you have delivered to
the Company an executed copy of a release of claims in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. (y) you have not revoked such release, and (z) on or before such 45th day any
statutory right you have to revoke such release has expired. If you do not deliver the release in accordance with the preceding sentence, or if you deliver and then revoke such release, you shall forfeit your right to receive the payments set forth
in Section 11(B)(ii). 
 (F) No Obligation of You to Mitigate. The amount of any payment provided for in this Section 11 shall
not be reduced, offset or subject to recovery by the Company by reason of any compensation earned by you as the result of employment by another employer after the date of termination, except as provided in Section 11 (B)(ii). 

(G) Compliance with Code Section 409A. It is intended that all terms and payments under this Agreement comply with (or be exempt from)
and be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) so as not to subject you to payment of interest or any additional tax under Section 409A. Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

 (i) All terms of the Agreement that are undefined or ambiguous shall be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with
Section 409A if necessary to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A. For example, no payment may be made 







 
due to a termination of employment unless the termination of employment satisfies the requirements of a “separation from service” under Section 409A and related regulations. If payment
or provision of any amount or benefit under this Agreement at the time specified would subject such amount or benefit to any additional tax under Section 409A, the payment or provision of such amount or benefit will be postponed, if possible, to the
earliest commencement date on which the payment or provision of such amount or benefit could be made without incurring such additional tax. The parties agree, to the extent reasonably possible, to amend this Agreement in order to comply with Section
409A and avoid the imposition of any interest or additional tax under Section 409A; provided, however, that neither party shall be required to amend this Agreement if such amendment would change the total amount payable by the Company pursuant to
this Agreement. The right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. 

(ii) To the extent that (A) the you are determined to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section
409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, (B) any amounts payable under this Agreement represent amounts that are subject to Section 409A, and (C) such amounts are payable on the your “separation from service,” within the meaning of Section
409A, then such amounts will not be payable to you before the date that is six months and one day after your separation from service. Payments under this section to which the you would otherwise be entitled during the
six-month suspension period following your separation from service will be accumulated and paid on the first day permitted under this section. 

(iii) All reimbursements under this Agreement will be made as soon as practicable following submission of a reimbursement
request, but no later than the end of the year following the year during which the underlying expense was incurred or paid. The amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided,
during one taxable year will not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year. The right to reimbursement or
in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 

(iv) The Company makes no representation or warranty to you with regard to the application of Section 409A to any amounts
payable pursuant to this Agreement and shall not have any liability to you for any interest, additional tax, or other adverse consequence arising under Section 409A with respect to this Agreement. 

12. Withholding. Payment of all compensation under this Agreement shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and local tax
withholding. 
 13. Attorneys’ Fees. The Company shall reimburse you for the reasonable legal fees and related expenses incurred
by you in any action or proceeding seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by this Agreement, including on any appeal, to the extent you prevail in such litigation. 

14. Successors: Binding Agreement. 

(A) Upon your written request, the Company will seek to have any Successor, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to you, assent to
the fulfillment by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement. 
 (B) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be

 15. Survival. The respective obligations of, and benefits afforded to, the Company and you
as provided in this Agreement shall survive termination of your employment and this Agreement. 
 16. Notice. For the purposes of
this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid
and addressed to the address of the Company as set forth on the first page of this Agreement or to you as set forth in the Company’s records, provided that all notices to the Company shall be directed to the attention of the General Counsel of
the Company, or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt. 

17. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such modification, waiver or discharge
is agreed to in a writing signed by you and a duly authorized officer of the Company (other than you). No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this
Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with
respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party that are not expressly set forth in this Agreement. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State
of Oregon, without regard to conflicts of law principles.

this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. 

19. Jurisdiction. Any action or proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or your
employment by the Company shall be brought in the Courts of the State of Oregon located in Portland, Oregon, or, to the extent it has jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Oregon; each of the parties hereby consents to
the jurisdiction of such courts and their sole and exclusive venue and waives any objection to venue laid therein. Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in
respect to any action or proceeding indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or your employment by the Company. Each party hereto (i) certifies that no representative of any other party hereto has represented
expressly or otherwise that such other party would not, in the event of any action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this agreement by,
among other things, the mutual waiver and certifications in this Section 19. 







 20. Related Agreements. To the extent that any provision of any other agreement between
the Company or any of its subsidiaries and you shall limit, qualify or be inconsistent with any provision of this Agreement, then for purposes of this Agreement, while the same shall remain in force, the provision of this Agreement shall control and
such provision of such other agreement shall be deemed to have been superseded, and to be of no force or effect, as if such other agreement had been formally amended to the extent necessary to accomplish such purpose. 

21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of
which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

the prior fiscal year, and any other compensation or benefits which have been earned or become payable as of the date of termination but which have not yet been paid to you, and (ii) reimbursement of expenses incurred through the effective date

 (C) “Disability”
