                          -----------------------------

PURPOSE
-------

The Dayton Superior Corporation Executive Incentive Plan is established to
encourage the achievement of defined operational goals that contribute directly
to the profits of Dayton Superior Corporation and to recognize employees whose
performance exceeds normal expectations or requirements for their positions.

DEFINITIONS
-----------

     o    Plan means the Dayton Superior Corporation Executive Incentive Plan.

     o    Compensation Committee means the Compensation Committee established by
          the Board of Directors.

     o    Participant means an employee selected to participate in the Plan.

     o    Year means a calendar year.

ADMINISTRATION
--------------

Participants in the Executive Incentive Plan will have a bonus opportunity,
which will be a percentage of their base salary. The percentage will vary by
position and will reflect the level of responsibility of the individual
participant and will include market-based compensation comparisons. The
percentage opportunity will be defined by the President & Chief Executive
Officer, with Compensation Committee oversight. The Plan will be based upon the
achievement of various financial goals approved by the Compensation Committee.
The financial goals must be met before any bonuses will be awarded.

The Compensation Committee shall make all determinations of the financial
targets required for the administration of the Plan. The Compensation Committee
will also make such adjustment, including the determination as to which unusual
or non-recurring items to include or exclude, as it, in its sole discretion,
deems appropriate to properly reflect our financial results.

The Compensation Committee must approve all participants in the Plan and the
achievement of the specified financial goals for distribution of awards.

ELIGIBILITY & COMPONENT ALLOCATION
----------------------------------

Plan participants must be employed with Dayton Superior Corporation at the time
of distribution. If a plan participant leaves prior to the payment, the
participant forfeits any bonus amount.

Payments will be made by March 31st of the year following the Plan year, subject
to completion of annual audit of company financial statements.

Eligibility for the Executive Incentive Plan will be reviewed each year. For
2006, plan participation eligibility and allocation are established for the

The Plan is not to be construed as providing a guaranteed or minimum payment, or
as constituting a contract of employment. No rights in this Plan shall be deemed
to accrue to any participant and no participant or other person shall, because
of the Plan, acquire any right to an accounting or to examine the books or
affairs of Dayton Superior Corporation.

The Compensation Committee may at any time terminate the Plan or effect such
amendments thereto as it shall deem advisable and in the best interest of Dayton
Superior Corporation provided, that no such termination or amendment shall
affect or impair any rights of such Participant with respect to the year in

The threshold for the Executive Team is 90% of target scaled to 100% using the
specified EBITDA target determined by the Compensation Committee.

At the 90% threshold, the plan will pay out at 50% of target. If the Company
does not achieve the threshold, no bonuses will be paid.

For each $1 million of EBITDA above target, the Program will pay an additional
bonus amount as a % of salary.

                                                                    ------------

                           RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

     THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT (as it may be amended from time to time,
the "Agreement"), dated as of June [__], 2006 (the "Grant Date"), between Dayton
Superior Corporation, an Ohio corporation (the "Company"), and __________ (the
"Executive"). Certain capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in Section 13.

                                   WITNESSETH:

     The Executive is a key employee of the Company;

     The Executive and the Company have previously entered into that certain
employment agreement, effective as of August 1, 2005 (as it may be amended from
time to time, the "Employment Agreement"); and

     The Company desires to encourage the Executive to remain employed by the
Company and to contribute to the success of the Company by transferring to the
Executive shares of common stock of the Company, subject to the restrictions and
conditions contained in this Agreement.

     In consideration of services to be rendered to the Company, which the
parties agree exceeds the aggregate par value of the shares of common stock of
the Company subject to the Restricted Shares (as defined in Section 1) and the
other mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree
as follows:

                                       1
<PAGE>

     1. Award of Restricted Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement, the Company hereby issues to the Executive a total of
_______ shares (the "Restricted Shares") of the Company's common stock, without
par value ("Common Stock"), for the consideration set forth above. The purchase
price of the Restricted Shares is zero dollars ($0.00) per share. For purposes
of this Agreement, "Restrictions" shall mean the restrictions and conditions set
forth in Section 2 and Section 3, as applicable, with respect to the Restricted
Shares and the Retained Distributions (as defined in Section 2(a)(ii)). The
Company shall cause the Restricted Shares to be issued and a stock certificate
or certificates representing the Restricted Shares to be registered in the name
of the Executive promptly upon execution of this Agreement, but the stock
certificate or certificates shall be delivered to, and held in custody by, the
Company until such time or times that the Restrictions have lapsed pursuant to
Section 3. On or before the date of execution of this Agreement, the Executive
shall deliver to the Company one or more stock powers endorsed in blank relating
to the Restricted Shares, which will permit transfer to the Company of all or
any portion of the Restricted Shares and any securities constituting Retained
Distributions that shall be forfeited or that shall not become vested in
accordance with this Agreement.

     2. Restrictions.

     (a) The Executive shall have all rights and privileges of a stockholder of
the Company with respect to the Restricted Shares, including voting rights and
the right to receive dividends paid with respect to such shares, except that,
until such time or times as the Restrictions have lapsed pursuant to Section 3,
the following provisions shall apply:

               (i) The Executive shall not be entitled to delivery of the
certificate or certificates for any of the Restricted Shares until the
Restrictions have lapsed with respect thereto pursuant to Section 3;

               (ii) The Company will retain custody of all cash dividends and
other distributions ("Retained Distributions") made or declared with respect to
the Restricted Shares (and such Retained Distributions will be subject to the
Restrictions and the other terms and conditions under this Agreement that are
applicable to the Restricted Shares) until such time, if ever, as the Restricted
Shares with respect to which such Retained Distributions shall have been made,
paid or declared shall have become vested, and such Retained Distributions shall
not bear interest or be segregated in separate accounts;

               (iii) The Restricted Shares may not be sold, transferred,
assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Executive before
the Restrictions have lapsed pursuant to Section 3; and

               (iv) The Restricted Shares and Retained Distributions shall be
subject to forfeiture upon termination of the Executive's employment with the
Company to the extent set forth in Section 3(c) and upon the breach of any of
the terms or conditions of this Agreement.

                                       2
<PAGE>

     (b) Any attempt to dispose of Restricted Shares in a manner
contrary to the Restrictions or any other written agreement to which the Company
and the Executive are parties shall be ineffective.

     3. When Restrictions Lapse.

     Subject to Section 3(b), Section 3(c) and Section 3(d), the Restricted
Shares shall vest and the Restrictions shall lapse with respect to 25% of the
Restricted Shares on December 31 of the calendar year in which an Initial Public
Offering occurs (the "IPO Year") and on December 31 of each of the first three
calendar years following the IPO Year (each such December 31, an "IPO Vesting
Date"); provided that the Executive remains continuously employed with the
Company from the Grant Date through the applicable IPO Vesting Date.

     Notwithstanding Section 3(a), but subject to Section 3(c) and Section 3(d),
all Restricted Shares shall vest and all Restrictions shall lapse with respect
to all of the Restricted Shares (to the extent not already vested or lapsed
pursuant to Section 3(a)) immediately prior to (and subject to the consummation
of) a Change in Control (the effective date of such Change in Control, the "CIC
Vesting Date"); provided that such Change in Control results in the Principal
Stockholders receiving Proceeds in an amount that, when aggregated with all
Proceeds received by the Principal Stockholders in connection with any Initial
Public Offering or any secondary public offering occurring prior to the CIC
Vesting Date, is greater than or equal to the Target Amount; and, provided
further that the Executive remains continuously employed with the Company from
the Grant Date through the CIC Vesting Date.

     If, prior to any IPO Vesting Date or the CIC Vesting Date, the Executive's
employment with the Company is terminated (i) by reason of the Executive's death
or (ii) by the Company for any reason other than (A) for Cause (as defined in
the Employment Agreement), (B) for the Executive's insubordination or failure to
carry out any lawful directive of the Company's Chief Executive Officer or the
Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") or (C) for the Executive's
failure to satisfactorily perform his duties or responsibilities with the
Company (each as determined by the Board in its sole discretion), then,
effective the business day immediately prior to the effective date of such
termination of employment, the Restricted Shares shall vest and the Restrictions
shall lapse with respect to all of the Restricted Shares (to the extent not
already vested or lapsed pursuant to Section 3(a) or Section 3(b)).

     If, prior to an IPO Vesting Date or the CIC Vesting Date, the Executive's
employment with the Company is terminated either by the Executive or by the
Company for any reason other than as set forth in Section 3(c), then following
the date of such termination of employment no Restrictions shall lapse with
respect to any Restricted Shares and no such Restricted Shares shall become
vested. Any Restricted Shares that remain subject to the Restrictions as of the
effective date of the Executive's termination of employment (to the extent not
already vested or lapsed pursuant to Section 3(a), Section 3(b), or Section
3(c)) shall thereupon be forfeited without further action by the Company.

                                       3

     4. Issuance of Stock Certificates for Shares. The stock certificate or
certificates representing the Restricted Shares shall be issued promptly
following the execution of this Agreement and shall be delivered to the
Corporate Secretary or such other custodian as may be designated by the Company,
to be held by the Company until the Restrictions have lapsed under Section 3.
Such stock certificate or certificates shall bear the following (or
substantially equivalent) legend:

                  THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
                  REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
                  "ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION. SUCH
                  SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED,
                  PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (I) A REGISTRATION
                  STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SECURITIES THAT IS EFFECTIVE
                  UNDER SUCH ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW, OR (II) ANY
                  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT, OR APPLICABLE
                  STATE SECURITIES LAW, RELATING TO THE DISPOSITION OF
                  SECURITIES, INCLUDING RULE 144, PROVIDED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
                  IS FURNISHED TO THE COMPANY, IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY
                  SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, TO THE EFFECT THAT AN EXEMPTION
                  FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT AND/OR
                  APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW IS AVAILABLE. THE SECURITIES
                  REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND
                  CONDITIONS (INCLUDING FORFEITURE) OF THE MANAGEMENT
                  STOCKHOLDERS' AGREEMENT, EFFECTIVE AS OF JUNE 16, 2000, AMONG
                  THE COMPANY, ODYSSEY INVESTMENT PARTNERS FUND LP, AND CERTAIN
                  EMPLOYEE STOCKHOLDERS PARTY THERETO (AS MAY BE AMENDED FROM
                  TIME TO TIME), A COPY OF EACH OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE
                  SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY, AND THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY
                  THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD, ASSIGNED,
                  PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS SUCH
                  TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER
                  DISPOSITION COMPLIES WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH AGREEMENTS.

Once the Restrictions have lapsed with respect to the Restricted Shares, upon
the written request of the Executive, a stock certificate or certificates for
such Restricted Shares shall be returned and exchanged for new stock
certificates for the Restricted Shares (which may bear the foregoing legend or
such other legend(s) as the Company may deem to be necessary or appropriate).
Upon the written request of the Executive, the certificates representing the
newly vested shares shall be delivered to the Executive (or to the person to
whom the rights of the Executive shall have passed by will or the laws of
descent and distribution) promptly after the date on which the Restrictions have
lapsed but not before the Executive has made any tax payment to the Company or
made other arrangements for tax withholding, as required by Section 5(a).

                                       4
<PAGE>

     5. Taxation.

     (a) Whenever the Restrictions lapse with respect to the Restricted Shares
pursuant to Section 3, the Company shall notify the Executive of the amount of
any tax which must be withheld by the Company under all applicable federal,
state and local tax laws. The Executive agrees to make arrangements with the
Company to (i) remit a cash payment of the required amount to the Company or
(ii) to authorize the deduction of such amount from the Executive's
compensation. No new certificate shall be delivered to the Executive or his
legal representative unless and until the Executive or his legal representative
shall pay to the Company the full amount of all federal and state withholding or
other taxes applicable to the taxable income to the Executive resulting from the
grant of the Restricted Shares or the lapse or removal of the Restrictions.

     (b) The Executive has reviewed with his own tax advisors the federal,
state, local and foreign tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. The Executive is relying solely on such advisors and not on any
statements of the Company or any of its agents. Except as provided below, the
Executive understands that he (and not the Company) shall be responsible for his
own tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. The Executive understands that it may be beneficial in certain
circumstances to elect to be taxed as of the Grant Date rather than when the
Restrictions lapse by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), with the Internal Revenue Service
within 30 days from the Grant Date. EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS HIS
RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY'S TO TIMELY FILE THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION
83(b) OF THE CODE, EVEN IF HE REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO
MAKE THIS FILING ON HIS BEHALF. The Executive acknowledges that nothing in this
Agreement constitutes tax advice.

     6. Stockholders Agreement. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that (a)
as a condition precedent to receiving the Restricted Shares, the Executive has
executed the Stockholders Agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto
as Schedule I; and (b) notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
all Restricted Shares shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the
Stockholders Agreement.

                                       5
<PAGE>

     7. Securities Laws. The Company may from time to time impose any conditions
on the transfer of the Restricted Shares as it deems necessary or advisable to
ensure that any transfers of the Restricted Shares granted hereunder will
satisfy the applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws. Such
conditions to satisfy applicable federal and state securities laws may include,
without limitation, the partial or complete suspension of the right to transfer
the Restricted Shares until the Restricted Shares have been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 as amended, or until such transfer may, in the opinion of
counsel acceptable to the Company, be made without registration pursuant to an
applicable exemption therefrom. The Executive hereby represents, warrants and
agrees as follows, and acknowledges that the Company is relying on the same in
issuing, the Restricted Shares:

     (a) The Executive is entering into this Agreement solely on the basis of
his own familiarity with the Company and all relevant factors about the
Company's affairs and the Company has not made any express or implied
representations, covenants or warranties to the Executive with respect to such
matters.

     (b) The Executive has read this Agreement and has been advised or has had
the opportunity to be advised by his own legal counsel as to the consequences of
entering into this Agreement.

     (c) The Executive has had access to all documents, records and books
pertaining to the Company or in any way relevant to the investment in the
Restricted Shares and has the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive
answers from, the Company and its officers and directors concerning the terms
and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the merits
and risks of an investment in the Restricted Shares.

     (d) The Executive has knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment
in the Restricted Shares.

     (e) The Executive is acquiring the Restricted Shares for his own account
with investment intent and not with a view to the resale or distribution of all
or any part of such shares.

     (f) The Executive agrees that the Company may impose additional
restrictions on the sale, pledge or other transfer of the Restricted Shares if,
in the sole discretion of the Company and its counsel, such restrictions are
necessary and desirable in order to achieve compliance with the provisions of
federal or state securities laws.

     (g) The Executive is an "accredited investor," as defined in Rule 501(a)
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

                                       6
<PAGE>

     8. No Effect on Employment. Neither this Agreement nor the Restricted
Shares granted hereunder shall confer upon the Executive any right to continued
employment with the Company or any subsidiary thereof, and shall not in any way
modify or restrict the Company's or such subsidiary's right to terminate such
employment.

     9. Adjustments. If the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the
Company are increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different
number of kind of shares or securities of the Company through (a) a distribution
or payment of a dividend on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (b)
subdivision of reclassification, in a stock split or similar transaction, of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (c)
combination or reclassification of, in a reverse stock split or similar
transaction, the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a lesser number of
shares, or (d) issuance of any shares of capital stock by reclassification of
the Common Stock, then an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made
in the number and kind of Restricted Shares. Adjustments made pursuant to this
Section 9 shall be made by the Board effective as of the occurrence of any of
the events described in Sections 9(a) through (d), above, whose determination as
to what adjustments shall be made, and the extent thereof, shall be final,
binding and conclusive.

     10. Notices. All notices or other communications under this Agreement shall
be given in writing and shall be deemed duly given and received on the third
