Amended and Restated Bonus Program




 Exhibit 10.2 
 NCI BUILDING SYSTEMS, INC. 
 BONUS PROGRAM 
 [As Amended as of December 6, 2007] 
 The Bonus
Program (the “Program”) is as follows: 
 1. Purpose. The purpose of the Program is: 
 (A) To provide exceptional cash rewards earned by exceptional performance; and 
 (B) To focus management attention on key objectives of the Company by basing their bonus on return on assets and growth in earnings per
share. 
 2. Administration. The Program will be administered and interpreted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
of the Company (the “Committee”). 
 3. Maximum Bonuses and Bonus Performance Standards. 
 (A) Maximum Bonuses. The aggregate maximum bonus pool to be paid pursuant to the Program in any fiscal year (including all bonuses
and any related 401(k) profit sharing plan matches, social security taxes and other employer costs) for all of the Company’s employees shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Company’s Adjusted Pre-Tax Profit before (i) any
accrual for bonuses payable pursuant to the Program for that fiscal year, and (ii) accruals with respect to awards made under the Company’s 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Maximum Bonus Amount”). If the aggregate bonuses to
be paid pursuant to the Program for Level 1A, Level 1B, Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4 participants and the Non-Management Bonus Pool in any fiscal year exceed the Maximum Bonus Amount, then the bonuses to be paid to
Level 1A, Level 1B, Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4 participants shall be reduced on a pro rata basis to an amount such that the aggregate bonuses to be paid pursuant to the Program for Level 1A, Level 1B,
Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4 participants and the Non-Management Bonus Pool in that fiscal year equal the Maximum Bonus Amount. 
 (B) Combination of ROA and EPS. Level 1A, Level 1B and Level 2 participants will be eligible for the award of an annual cash bonus equal to a percentage of their respective base salaries, based
upon the Company’s achievement of a specified ROA, a specified EPS Growth or a combination of ROA and EPS Growth for the fiscal year. No cash bonuses will be awarded to these participants if both ROA is less than 15% and EPS Growth is less than
10%. 
 (1) Level 2 Participants. Subject to the minimum requirements for ROA and EPS Growth, Level 2
participants will be eligible for a cash bonus award based upon the grid of ROA and EPS Growth achievement attached hereto as Exhibit A, in which the bonus eligible for award is the percentage of base salary indicated at each intersecting grid
mark for ROA and EPS Growth (e.g., ROA of 25% and EPS Growth of 15% results in a 50% cash bonus). 








 (2) Level 1A and 1B Participants. Cash bonus awards for which Level 1A
and 1B participants are eligible also will be based on the grid of ROA and EPS Growth achievement attached hereto as Exhibit A, but (1) for Level 1A participants it will be 2.0 times the percentage of base salary indicated for
Level 2 participants and (2) for Level 1B participants it will be 1.5 times the percentage of base salary indicated for the Level 2 participants. 
 (C) ROA Only. Level 3 and Level 4 participants will be eligible for the award of a cash bonus equal to a percentage of
their respective base salaries, based upon the Company’s achievement of a specified ROA for the fiscal year. No cash bonuses will be awarded to these participants if ROA is less than 15%. 
 (1) Level 3 Participants. The Committee shall place all Level 3 participants in five categories. If ROA is 15% or more,
Level 3 participants will be eligible for a cash bonus in accordance with the following table: 
  

					
	 Category
	 	 Minimum
 Bonus
 (15% ROA)
	 	 Additional Percentage
 of Base Salary for each
 1% Increment of ROA
 in excess of 15%

	 A
	 	7.5%	 	2.25%
	 B
	 	8.75%	 	2.625%
	 C
	 	10%	 	3%
	 D
	 	11.25%	 	3.375%
	 E
	 	12.5%	 	3.75%

 (2) Level 4 Participants. If ROA is 15% or more, Level 4
participants will be eligible for the award of a cash bonus equal to 6.25% of base salary and an additional 1.875% of base salary for each 1% increment in ROA over 15%. 
 (D) Non-Management Bonus Pool. The Company shall establish a permanent minimum bonus pool for lower level, non-management employees
(the “Non-Management Bonus Pool”), in an amount equal to $2,850,000, to be paid if and only if the Company’s Adjusted Pre-Tax Profit is equal to or greater than $36 million; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the
Non-Management Bonus Pool shall be adjusted annually by a percentage equal to the percentage increase in the then most recently published CPI (as hereinafter defined), over the CPI published for the immediately preceding fiscal year. If the CPI did
not increase during the measurement period, no adjustment to the Non-Management Bonus Pool shall be made. For purposes of the Program, “CPI” means the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Customers for the Houston-Galveston-Brazoria area. If
the CPI becomes unavailable to the public because publication is discontinued, or otherwise, then the Company and the Committee will substitute therefor a comparable index based upon changes in the cost of living or purchasing power of the consumer
dollar, published by another governmental agency or, if no such index shall be available then a comparable index published by a major bank or other financial institution or by a recognized financial publication.

 (E) No Individual Caps. Subject to the Maximum Bonus Amount set forth in
Section 3(A) above, participants will not be subject to any cap on the maximum amount of an individual bonus. The grid attached hereto as Exhibit A illustrates the bonus levels payable up to 34% ROA Growth and 34% EPS Growth. Should either of
these metrics exceed those levels, individual bonuses shall be increased by extrapolating the grid in a proportionate manner. 
 4.
Participants and Eligibility. 
 (A) Whether or not to award a cash bonus to any particular participant is within the
absolute discretion of the Company and the Committee. No bonus award to a Level 1A, 1B, 2 or 3 participant may be paid unless and until approved by the Committee, and no bonus award may be paid to a Level 4 participant unless and until the
Committee has approved the aggregate employee bonus pool for that fiscal year. 
 (B) A participant shall not be eligible for
and shall not be entitled to receive a bonus for any fiscal year’s performance unless the participant is employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries both on the last day of the fiscal year and on the date of approval by the Committee of
the bonus (if a Level 1A, 1B, 2 or 3 participant) or the aggregate employee bonus pool for that year (if a Level 4 participant). 
 (C) The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the Level 1A, 1B, Level 2 and Level 3 participants for any given fiscal year; provided, however, the Committee and/or the Executive Committee
shall determine the categories into which Level 3 participants will be placed, and provided further that the Executive Committee shall have the authority to move a Level 4 participant to the lowest category of Level 3 when that
participant receives a promotion. Designation of a manager as a participant for any fiscal year is in the absolute discretion of the Company and the Committee and does not entitle that participant to remain as a participant in any subsequent year.

 (D) Addition, removal or movement of participants into, from or between any of Levels 1A, 1B, 2 or 3 must be submitted
to and approved by the Committee; provided, however, that the Executive Committee shall have the authority to move a Level 4 participant to the lowest category of Level 3 when that participant receives a promotion. The Level 1
managers, with the approval of the Chairman of the Board and President, shall have discretion to add or remove participants at Level 4 without further action of the Committee, provided the aggregate bonuses paid to all employees do not exceed
the amount of the employee bonus pool for that year approved by the Committee. 
 (E) The Executive Committee, in its sole
discretion, shall determine the participants in the Non-Management Bonus Pool for any given fiscal year. Designation of a non-management employee as a participant for any fiscal year is in the absolute discretion of the Company and the Executive
Committee and does not entitle that participant to remain as a participant in any subsequent year.
