                                                                 EXECUTION DRAFT

                             CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

("Holdings"), Norcraft Companies, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership f/k/a

Delaware limited liability company (the "Buller Investor"), and Mark Buller (the
"Executive"), David Buller, James Buller, Phil Buller, Herb Buller and Erna
Buller (together with the Executive, the "Buller Family Members").

          A. Holdings is a party to the Unit Purchase Agreement, dated as of
August 29, 2003, with Norcraft and the unitholders of Norcraft set forth
therein, pursuant to which Holdings agreed to purchase all of the issued and
outstanding membership units of Norcraft (the "Acquisition");

          B. The Buller Family Members are the owners of all of the outstanding
equity interests of Norcraft Canada Corporation, a Nova Scotia unlimited
liability company (the "Canadian Subsidiary"), which is to be contributed to
Norcraft as part of the Acquisition;

          C. The Canadian Subsidiary is the sole owner of the real property
located at Springfield Road and Oxford Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba, including all
structures, fixtures and other rights attached thereto and more specifically
described on Schedule I hereto (the "Winnipeg Facility"), which facility will be
used by Norcraft as part of its ongoing business following consummation of the
Acquisition;

          D. Upon consummation of the Acquisition, will enter into an Employment
Agreement (the "Employment Agreement") with the Executive pursuant to which the
Executive will serve as Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman of Holdings
and Norcraft; and

          E. The parties have entered into this Agreement to provide for the
contribution referred to herein, to provide the Buller Investor with certain
additional payments and rights to purchase additional limited partnership units
in Holdings upon certain events constituting a Change of Control (as defined in
the Limited Partnership Agreement of Holdings, of even date herewith, the "LP
Agreement"), and to provide for certain additional agreements referred to
herein;

          In consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein, the parties
agree as follows:

          1. Contribution and Consideration.

               a. Upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the
Buller Family Members shall contribute to Norcraft, and Norcraft shall accept as
a contribution to Norcraft, all of the outstanding equity interests of the
Canadian Subsidiary.

                                       1

<PAGE>

               b. Immediately upon receipt by Norcraft of the contribution
referred to in Section 1.a, the Buller Family Members shall be entitled to
receive limited partnership units in Norcraft. By execution hereof, the Buller
Family Members assign their rights to receive such units to the Buller Investor,
which will, immediately upon receipt of such units, execute and deliver the LP
Agreement and exchange such units for an aggregate 2,967,429 Series A-2 Units,
all in consideration for such contribution by the Buller Family Members.

          2. Change of Control Bonus. If a Triggering Event occurs, the Buller
Investor shall be entitled to receive an aggregate of U.S. $4,000,000 (the
"Change of Control Bonus") from Holdings, provided that, after giving effect to
the Change of Control Bonus, (i) the IRR on the Sponsor Units as of the
Triggering Event is at least 20% and (ii) Proceeds in connection with the
Triggering Event are at least an amount that is 2.5 times the aggregate amount
of cash paid by the Sponsors for the Sponsor Units. The Change of Control Bonus
shall be paid by certified bank check or wire transfer at the effective time of
the Triggering Event.

          3. Purchase Right. Upon consummation of a Triggering Event, the Buller
Investor shall be entitled, at its sole option and expense, to purchase (the
"Purchase Right") up to 1,478,553.86 Series A-2 Units for U.S. $3.00 per unit,
and up to an additional 1,478,553.86 Series A-2 Units for U.S. $3.50 per unit.
Any exercise of the Purchase Right will be made by the Buller Investor upon
notice to Holdings delivered at least three (3) days prior to the scheduled
effective time of the Triggering Event, with the closing of the exercised
Purchase Right to occur at the effective time of the Triggering Event. At the
closing of the Purchase Right, the aggregate purchase price for the Series A-2
Units shall be paid by the Buller Investor, at its option, in cash, by certified
bank check or wire transfer, or, if practicable, upon a "cashless basis,"
whereby the Buller Investor will, in lieu of a cash payment of such purchase
price, receive from Holdings the amount of Series A-2 Units equal to the amount
of units otherwise issuable upon such exercise less the amount of Series A-2
Units having a Fair Market Value on the closing date equal to the aggregate
purchase price applicable to the entire amount of units for which the Purchase
Right was exercised by the Buller Investor. The number of units subject to the
Purchase Right and the purchase price therefore are subject to proportional
adjustment in the event of any subdivision or combination of the Series A-2
Units or merger, consolidation or recapitalization of Holdings.

          4. Expiration. The provisions of Section 2 and 3 of this Agreement
shall expire and be of no further force or effect immediately upon the earlier
to occur of (i) the consummation of a Change of Control, whether or not such
Change of Control constitutes a Triggering Event; provided, that if such Change
of Control is a Triggering Event pursuant to which the Buller Investor shall be
entitled to receive the Change of Control Bonus or shall have exercised the
Purchase Right, in accordance with Section 2 and 3 of this Agreement,
respectively, the right to receive the Change of Control Bonus or receive Series
A-2 Units pursuant to such exercise of the Purchase Right shall survive the
expiration of this Agreement; (ii) six months after the termination of the
Executive's employment by Holdings other than for Cause (as defined in the
Employment Agreement) or by the Executive for Good Reason (as defined in the
Employment Agreement); and (iii) any other termination of the Executive's
employment with Holdings other than in connection with a Triggering Event.

          5. Determination. The determination of whether a Triggering Event has
occurred, the IRR and the amount of the Proceeds received for the Sponsor Units
shall be made in good faith

                                       2

by the board of managers of the general partner of Holdings (or similar
governing body) and shall be final and binding on the Buller Investor and
Holdings.

          6. Representations of the Buller Investor and the Buller Family
Members. The Buller Investor and each Buller Family Member represents and

validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
The Buller Investor has full power and authority under the Delaware Limited
Liability Company Act and its operating agreement to execute, deliver and
perform this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplate herein,
and no further actions or proceedings or consents of any governmental or other
third parties are necessary to authorize such execution, delivery and
performance hereunder. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Buller
Investor will constitute a valid, binding obligation of the Buller Investor,
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such obligation
and enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy and other similar
laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally.

               b. The Buller Family Members own 100% of the outstanding equity
interests of the Buller Investor in proportion to their respective Percentage
Interests.

               c. The Buller Family Members have good, absolute and marketable
title to 100% of the outstanding equity interests of the Canadian Subsidiary,
free and clear of all mortgages, liens, claims and encumbrances.

               d. The aggregate expenditures actually paid to third parties, in
U.S. dollars, by the Buller Family Members or their Affiliates in connection
with their investment in the Canadian Subsidiary and the Winnipeg Facility and
their due diligence investigation of Raywal Limited, are as set forth, in
reasonable detail, on Schedule II hereto.

               e. The Canadian Subsidiary is an unlimited liability company duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Nova Scotia
and has all necessary power and authority to own all of its properties and
assets. The only asset of the Canadian Subsidiary is the Winnipeg Facility,
which it owns free and clear of all mortgages, liens, claims and encumbrances,
other than customary development agreements with which the property is in full
compliance. Other than the Winnipeg Facility, the Canadian Subsidiary has never
held any other assets and has not engaged in any other business. The Canadian
Subsidiary has no liabilities or obligations of any kind except as set forth on
Schedule III hereto.

               f. The execution and delivery by the Buller Investor and each
Buller Family Member of this Agreement does not and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a default (or give rise
to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under the terms,
conditions, or provisions of any contractual obligation to which the Buller
Investor, a Buller Family Member or the Canadian Subsidiary is a party, or may
be bound; or (ii) violate any law, statute, rule or regulation, or any published
order, judgment or decree, of any governmental authority applicable to the
Buller Investor, a Buller Family Member or the Canadian Subsidiary.

                                       3

          7. Covenants of the Buller Family Members.

               a. Each of the Buller Family Members hereby covenants and agrees
to maintain a, direct or indirect, beneficial ownership interest in all of the
outstanding equity interests of the Buller Investor in accordance with their
respective Percentage Interest; provided, that the foregoing covenant shall not
apply to any changes in such proportionate beneficial ownership in connection
with Transfers by a Buller Family Member which would have been permitted by the
LP Agreement if the Buller Family Member had been a Limited Partner of Holdings
thereunder.

               b. Each Buller Family Member hereby covenants and agrees that
except as the General Partner may expressly authorize or direct in writing, he
shall not, while the Executive is employed by Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries and for the two-year period following termination of the
Executive's employment with Holdings and its Subsidiaries, directly or
indirectly, (i) own, manage, operate, join, or control (or participate in the
ownership, management, operation or control of), any corporation, company,
association, partnership, limited liability company, proprietorship or other
business entity that, within the North America, engages in the business of
manufacturing, marketing or selling branded cabinet business, (ii) serve as an
employee, agent, consultant, officer, director, manager, partner or
representative of any such business entity or enterprise described immediately
above in clause (i), or (iii) hire or otherwise seek to induce, or assist any
other person from hiring or otherwise seeking to induce, employees of Holdings
or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate their employment; provided that the
foregoing shall not prevent any Buller Family Member from owning 5% or less of
the publicly-traded equity securities of any company or prevent any Buller
Family Member other than the Executive from entering into the cabinet component
or door manufacturing business during the two-year period following termination
of the Executive's employment with the Holdings and its Subsidiaries.

               c. Each Buller Family Member acknowledges that the restrictions
stated in Section 7.b are reasonable and the covenant is necessary to protect
Holdings' interests. If, however, a court of competent jurisdiction, at the time
of enforcement, shall deem the restrictions as stated in Section 7.b to be
unreasonable as to the duration, scope, or area of restriction, then such
restrictions may be applied only to such activities and territory and only for
such period of time as the court determines to be reasonable in light of all the
circumstances then existing, with such determination by the court to be binding
on Holdings and such Buller Family Member.
