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.  The Committee will provide written notice to each Employee that is selected for participation on the Plan.  Each non-Employee Director will, by virtue of such status, be eligible to participate in the Plan.  If an Employee who has been selected for participation in the Plan decides that he or she wants to participate in the Plan for any particular year, the Employee must execute and deliver a Deferred Compensation Election Form to the Committee on or before the date specified in Section 2.01(c) below.  If a non-Employee Director decides that he or she wants to participate in the Plan for any particular year, the non-Employee Director must execute and deliver a Deferred Director Fee Election Form to the Committee on or before the date specified in Section 2.01(c) below.  Each Deferred Compensation Election Form and each Deferred Director Fee Election Form must specify the form in which the Annual 









Base Salary Deferral, the Annual Bonus Deferral or the Annual Director Fee Deferral attributable to the election made in the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Election Form, whichever the case may be, is to be paid.


(b)If an Employee is selected for participation in the Plan, the Employee will be entitled to defer receipt of up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Base Salary that the Employee is entitled to receive and up to one hundred percent (100%) of the Bonus that the Employee is entitled to receive under the Annual Bonus Plan.  The Maximum Deferral Percentage of each Employee that is selected for participation in the Plan will be specified in the written notice which is provided to the Employee of his selection for participation in the 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: (i) an Eligible Employee that elects to defer any portion of his Base Salary must file his Base Salary Deferral Election Form with the Committee no later than December 31 of the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which the Base Salary which he is electing to defer will be paid; (ii) an Eligible Employee that elects to defer his receipt of payment of all or any portion of his Bonus must file his Bonus Deferral Election Form 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; and (iii) 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.  In the first year that an individual becomes an Eligible Employee or a non-Employee Director, the individual will be required to deliver a Deferred Compensation Election Form or a Deferred Director Fee Election Form, whichever the case may be, to the Committee and such elections will only be effective with respect to Base Salary, Bonuses and Director Fees payable after the applicable election form is delivered to the Committee.   


(d)If an Eligible Employee elects to defer his receipt of payment of a portion of his Base Salary, at the time his Base Salary is payable (which is in the calendar year following the calendar year in which he makes his election to defer his Base Salary), the portion of his Base Salary which he has elected to defer will not be paid to him and, instead, the Committee will, at the end of each calendar quarter, 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 portion of his Base Salary which was deferred for the calendar quarter at a price per Share equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share determined as of the end of the applicable calendar quarter.


(e)    If an Eligible Employee elects to defer his receipt of payment of all or any portion of his Bonus, at the time his Bonus is payable (which is in the calendar year following the calendar year in which he performs the services giving rise to his entitlement to payment of a 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 Fair Market Value of a Share on the date he receives (or would have received) payment of his Bonus. 


(f)    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 the portion of his Director Fees which he has elected to defer, 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 the type of the 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 the type of  the Director Fees which he has elected to defer 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. 


(g)    In addition to the Base Salary Deferral Units that are credited, as described in (d) above, to the Account of a Participant that is an Eligible Employee, at the same time that Base Salary 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 Base Salary Deferral Units are credited to the Account of the Eligible Employee, equal to the total amount of the Base Salary which was deferred by the Eligible Employee during the calendar quarter which ends on the date that Base Salary Deferral Units are credited to the Participant’s Account, multiplied by the Matching Percentage applicable to the Eligible Employee’s deferral of his Base Salary.  Similarly, in addition to the Bonus Deferral Units that are credited, as described in (e) above, to the Account of a Participant that is an Eligible Employee, 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 applicable to the Eligible Employee’s deferred Bonus.  


(h)    In addition to the Director Fee Deferral Units credited to the Account of a Participant that is an Eligible Director as described in (f) 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.


(i)    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 and/or the Base Salary Deferral Units credited to the Eligible Employee’s Account.


(j)    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 Director Fee Deferral Units credited to the Eligible Director’s Account.


(k)    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 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.  The Committee will separately identify the cash amount attributable to each Annual Base Salary Deferral and any related Matching Units, each Annual Bonus Deferral and any related Matching Units and each Annual Director Fee Deferral and related Matching Units applicable to the Participant.  However, as indicated in Sections 2.01(i) and (j) 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.


(l)    With respect to amounts which a Participant is entitled to receive based on Base Salary and Bonus or Director Fees deferred by the Participant under this Plan, if: (i) 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; and (ii)  if the value of the Participant’s Account which is attributable to Base Salary and Bonus or Director Fees deferred by the Participant, when combined with the value of the Participant’s account, established under the terms of the Gibraltar Industries, Inc. Management Stock Purchase Plan (the “2005 MSPP”) as effective under the terms of the Gibraltar Industries, Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, exceeds the applicable dollar amount provided for under Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code (as adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury); then (iii)(A) the value of each Annual Base Salary Deferral and the value of any Matching Units attributable to such Annual Base Salary Deferral shall be distributed to the Eligible Employee in one lump sum payment, in five (5) substantially equal annual payments or in ten (10) substantially equal annual payments, whichever form of distribution has been elected by the Eligible Employee in the Base Salary Deferral Election Form which gave rise to the Annual Base Salary Deferral;  (B) the value of each Annual Bonus Deferral and the value of any Matching Units attributable to such Annual Bonus Deferral shall be distributed to the Eligible Employee in one lump sum payment, in five (5) substantially equal annual payments or in ten (10) substantially equal annual payments, whichever form of distribution has been elected by the Eligible Employee in the Bonus Deferral Election Form which gave rise to the Annual Bonus Deferral; and (C) the value of each Annual Director Fee Deferral and the value of any Matching Units attributable to such Annual Director Fee Deferral shall be distributed to the Eligible Director in one lump sum payment, in five (5) substantially equal annual payments or in ten (10) substantially equal annual payments, whichever form of distribution has been elected by the Eligible Director in the Director Fee Deferral Election Form which gave rise to the Annual Director Fee Deferral.  With respect to amounts which a Participant is entitled to receive based on Base Salary and Bonus or Director Fees deferred by the Participant, 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 and if the value of the Participant’s Account which is attributable to Base Salary, Bonus or Director Fees deferred by the Participant, when combined with the value of the Participant’s account, established under the terms of the 2005 MSPP is less than or equal to the applicable dollar amount provided for under Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code (as adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury), then such cash value shall be distributed to the Participant in one lump sum.

The payments required to be made to the Participant as described above in this Section 2.01(l) shall be paid in cash less applicable withholding taxes.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the value of a Participant’s Account attributable to Base Salary and Bonus or Director Fees deferred by the Participant, including any applicable Matching Units, when combined with the value of the Participant’s account, established under the terms of the 2005 MSPP, exceeds the applicable dollar amount provided for under Code Section 402









(g)(1)(B) of the Code (as adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury), then each Annual Base Salary Deferral, each Annual Bonus Deferral and each Annual Director Fee Deferral and the Matching Units attributable to any such Annual Base Salary Deferral, Annual Bonus Deferral or Annual Director Fee Deferral may be paid in one of the three optional forms for distribution provided for such amounts, whichever form is selected by the Participant with respect to such Annual Base Salary Deferral, Annual Bonus Deferral or Annual Director Fee Deferral in the Base Salary Deferral Election Form, the Bonus Deferral Election Form or the Director Fee Deferral Election Form which is delivered by the Participant to the Committee with respect to any such Annual Base Salary Deferral, Annual Bonus Deferral or Annual Director Fee Deferral.  


(m)    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. 


(n)    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.

(d)    The conversion of the Participant’s Account to a cash value as contemplated by Sections 8.01 (a), (b) and (c) shall be for accounting purposes only and shall not require any segregation of any assets of the Company.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the value of a Participant’s Account, when combined with the value of the Participant’s account, if any, under the 2005 MSPP, exceeds the applicable dollar amount provided for under Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code, as adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury, each Annual Base Salary Deferral, each Annual Bonus Deferral and each Annual Director Fee Deferral made by the Participant may be paid, at the election of the Participant as contained in the applicable Deferred Compensation Election Form for any such Annual Base Salary Deferral, Annual Bonus Deferral or Annual Director Fee Deferral in one lump sum payment, in five (5) consecutive substantially equal annual installments or in ten (10) consecutive substantially equal annual installments.


(b)    If the Participant elects to receive any Annual Base Salary Deferral, Annual Bonus Deferral or any Annual Director Fee Deferral in one lump sum payment and the value of the Participant’s Account (as determined pursuant to Section 8.01(a) or (b) hereof), when combined with the value of the Participant’s account, if any, under the 2005 MSPP, is greater than the applicable dollar amount provided for under Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code, as adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury, such lump sum payment shall be paid to the Participant in the first calendar month occurring after the end of the six (6) month period beginning on the date the Participant’s employment with the Employer or membership on the Board of Directors is terminated.  If the Participant elects to receive any Annual Base Salary Deferral, Annual Bonus Deferral or any Annual Director Fee Deferral in five (5) or ten (10) consecutive annual installments and the value of the Participant’s Account (as determined pursuant to Section 8.01(a) or (b) hereof), when combined with the value of the Participant’s account, if any, under the 2005 MSPP, is greater than the applicable dollar amount provided for under Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code, as adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury, the first installment in any such series of installment payments shall be paid to the Participant in the first calendar month occurring after the end of the six (6) month period beginning on the date the Participant’s employment with the Employer or membership on the Board of Directors is terminated and each of the remaining consecutive annual installments shall be paid to the Participant in each January following the date the first installment of the series of installment payments is paid to the Eligible Employee.  For the avoidance of doubt and for example, if an Eligible Employee has elected to receive the any Annual Base Salary Deferral which is attributable to Base Salary deferred on or after January 1, 2016 in ten (10) annual installments and if the Eligible Employee’s employment is terminated in the month of February, the first installment of the ten (10) consecutive annual installments over which the value of such Annual Base Salary Deferral and any related Matching Units is to be paid to the Eligible Employee will be paid in the month of September in the year in which the Eligible Employee’s employment is terminated, the second installment of the ten (10) consecutive annual installments will be paid to the Eligible Employee in the month of January in the first calendar year following the calendar year in which the Eligible Employee’s employment is terminated and one installment of the eight (8) remaining installments will be paid to the Eligible Employee in each of the eight (8) consecutive months of January following the first January payment.
