 THIS
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of the Grant Date specified above, is entered into by and between Masonite Worldwide Holdings Inc., a British Columbia corporation (the “Company”), and the
Participant specified above, pursuant to the Masonite Worldwide Holdings Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which is administered by the Committee; and 
 WHEREAS, it has been determined under the Plan that it would be in the best interests of the Company to grant the Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) provided herein to the Participant. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable
consideration, the parties hereto hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows: 
 1. Incorporation By Reference; Plan
Document Receipt. This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms and provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, any amendments thereto adopted at any time and from time to time unless such amendments are expressly
intended not to apply to the grant of the RSUs hereunder), all of which terms and provisions are made a part of and incorporated in this Agreement as if they were each expressly set forth herein. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a true
copy of the Plan and that the Participant has read the Plan carefully and fully understands its content. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control. 

2. Grant of Restricted Stock Unit Award. The Company hereby grants to the Participant, as of the Grant Date specified
above, the number of RSUs specified above. Except as otherwise provided by the Plan, the Participant agrees and understands that nothing contained in this Agreement provides, or is intended to provide, the Participant with any protection against
potential future dilution of the Participant’s interest in the Company for any reason. The Participant shall not have the rights of a stockholder in respect of the Shares underlying this Award until such Shares are delivered to the Participant
in accordance with Section 4. 







 3. Vesting. 

(a) General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, fifty percent (50%) of the RSUs subject to this grant shall
vest on the Grant Date, with the balance vesting in three equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the Grant Date; provided that the Participant is a member of the Board of Directors of the Company on each such vesting
date. 
 (b) Certain Terminations. All unvested RSUs shall immediately become vested upon a Termination due to
(i) the Participant’s death, (ii) the Participant’s Disability or (iii) an involuntary removal of the Participant from the Board prior to the end of the Participant’s term for a reason other than “Cause”.

 (c) Change in Control. All unvested RSUs shall immediately become vested upon a Change in Control; provided the
Participant is serving as a member of the Board immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control transaction. 

(d) Forfeiture. Subject to Section 3(b), all unvested RSUs shall be immediately forfeited upon the Participant’s
Termination for any reason. 
 4. Delivery of Shares. 

(a) General. Subject to Section 4(b) and Section 15.18 of the Plan, the Company shall deliver to the Participant
(i) fifty percent (50%) of Shares underlying vested RSUs on the third anniversary of the Grant Date and (ii) the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the Shares underlying the vested RSUs on the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date;
provided, however, all Shares underlying the vested RSUs, to the extent not previously delivered, shall be delivered to the Participant upon a Change in Control or the 30th day following a Termination. In connection with the delivery of the Shares
pursuant to this Agreement, the Participant agrees to execute any documents reasonably requested by the Company. In no event shall a Participant be entitled to receive any Shares with respect to any unvested or forfeited portion of the RSU.

 (b) Blackout Periods. If the Participant is subject to any Company “blackout” policy or other trading
restriction imposed by the Company on the date such distribution would otherwise be made pursuant to Section 4(a), such distribution shall be instead made on the earlier of (i) the date the Participant is not subject to any such policy or
restriction and (ii) the later of (A) the end of the calendar year in which such distribution would otherwise have been made and (B) a date that is immediately prior to 2.5 months following the date such distribution would otherwise
have been made. 
 5. Dividends and Other Distributions. The Participant shall be entitled to receive all
dividends and other distributions paid with respect to the Shares underlying the RSUs, provided that any such dividends or other distributions will be subject to the same vesting requirements as the underlying RSUs and shall be paid at the time the
Shares are delivered pursuant to Section 4. If any dividends or distributions are paid in Shares with respect to unvested Shares, the Shares shall be deposited with the Company and shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability
and forfeitability as the RSUs with respect to which they were paid.

 6. Conditions. As a condition to the receipt of this RSU award, the
Participant acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the terms of Annex A attached hereto, which is incorporated in, and made a part of, this Agreement. 
 7. Restrictive Covenants. As a condition to the receipt of the RSUs and/or the delivery of Shares hereunder, the Participant agrees as follows 

(a) Confidentiality. The Company and the Participant acknowledge and agree that during the Participant’s service with the
Company, the Participant will have access to and may assist in developing Confidential Information and will occupy a position of trust and confidence with respect to the affairs and business of the Company and its Affiliates. The Participant agrees
that the obligations set forth in this Section 7 are necessary to preserve the confidential and proprietary nature of Confidential Information and to protect the Company and its Affiliates against harmful solicitation of employees and customers
and other actions by the Participant that would result in serious adverse consequences for the Company and its Affiliates. 

(b) Non-Disclosure. During and after the Participant’s service with the Company, the Participant will not use, disclose, copy
or transfer any Confidential Information other than as authorized in writing by the Company or within the scope of the Participant’s duties with the Company as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Participant. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 7(b) shall not apply (i) when disclosure is required by law or by any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative or legislative body (including any committee thereof) with actual
or apparent jurisdiction to order the Participant to disclose or make accessible any information; provided that prior to any such disclosure the Participant shall provide the Company with reasonable notice of the requirements to disclose and an
opportunity to object to such disclosure and the Participant shall cooperate with the Company in filing such objection; or (ii) as to information that becomes generally known to the public or within the relevant trade or industry other than due
to the Participant’s violation of this Section 7(b). 
 (c) Materials. The Participant will use Confidential
Information only for normal and customary use in the Company’s business, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Company. The Participant will return to the Company all Confidential Information and copies thereof and all other
property of the Company or any of its Affiliate at any time upon the request of the Company and in any event immediately after termination of Participant’s service with the Company. The Participant agrees to identify and return to the Company
any copies of any Confidential Information after the Participant ceases to serve the Company. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing in this Section 7 shall prevent the Participant from retaining a home computer (provided all
Confidential Information has been removed), papers and other materials of a personal nature, including diaries, calendars and Rolodexes, information relating to his/her compensation or relating to reimbursement of expenses, information that may be
needed for tax purposes, and copies of plans, programs and agreements relating to his/her service with the Company. 
 (d) No
Solicitation or Hiring of Employees. During the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Participant’s Termination, the Participant shall not solicit, entice, persuade or induce any individual who is
employed by the 

  
 3 








 Company or its Affiliates (or who was so employed within twelve (12) months prior to the
Participant’s action) to terminate or refrain from continuing such employment or to become employed by or enter into contractual relations with any other individual or entity other than the Company or its Affiliates, and the Participant shall
not hire, directly or indirectly, for himself or any other person, as an employee, consultant or otherwise, any such person. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company agrees that (i) the Participant’s responding to an
unsolicited request from any former employee of the Company for advice on employment matters; and (ii) the Participant’s responding to an unsolicited request for an employment reference regarding any former employee of the Company from
such former employee, or from a third party, by providing a reference setting forth his/her personal views about such former employee, shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 7(d); in each case, to the extent the Participant does not
encourage the former employee to become employed by a company or business that employs the Participant or with which the Participant is otherwise associated (including, but not limited to, association as a sole proprietor, owner, employer, partner,
principal, investor, joint venturer, shareholder, associate, employee, member, consultant, contractor, director or otherwise). 

(e) Conflicting Obligations and Rights. The Participant agrees to inform the Company of any apparent conflicts between the
Participant’s service for the Company and any obligations the Participant may have to preserve the confidentiality of another’s proprietary information or related materials before using the same on the Company’s behalf. The Company
shall receive such disclosures in confidence and consistent with the objectives of avoiding any conflict of obligations and rights or the appearance of any conflict of interest. 

(f) Enforcement. The Participant acknowledges that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Section 7, the
business interests of the Company and its Affiliates will be irreparably injured, the full extent of the damages to the Company and its Affiliates will be impossible to ascertain, monetary damages will not be an adequate remedy for the Company and
its Affiliates, and the Company will be entitled to enforce this Agreement by a temporary, preliminary and/or permanent injunction or other equitable relief, without the necessity of posting bond or security, which the Participant expressly waives.
The Participant understands that the Company may waive some of the requirements expressed in this Agreement, but that such a waiver to be effective must be made in writing and should not in any way be deemed a waiver of the Company’s right to
enforce any other requirements or provisions of this Agreement. The Participant agrees that each of the Participant’s obligations specified in this Agreement is a separate and independent covenant and that the unenforceability of any of them
shall not preclude the enforcement of any other covenants in this Agreement. 
 8. Non-transferability.

 (a) Restriction on Transfers. Except as provided in Section 8(b) below, all RSUs, and any rights or interests
therein, (i) shall not be sold, exchanged, transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of in any way at any time by the Participant (or any beneficiary(ies) of the Participant), other than by testamentary disposition by the Participant or by
the laws of descent and distribution, (ii) shall not be pledged or encumbered in any way at any time by the Participant (or any beneficiary(ies) of the Participant) and (iii) shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar legal
process. Any attempt to sell, exchange, pledge, transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of this RSU, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar legal process upon this RSU, contrary to the terms of this Agreement and/or the Plan,
shall be null and void and without legal force or effect.

subject to the Company’s call rights and rights of first refusal set forth in Annex A.
