Exhibit 10.1 2015 Equity Incentive Plan

GIBRALTAR INDUSTRIES, INC.

2015 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
_______________________________

Effective as of May 19, 2005, Gibraltar Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices at 3556 Lake Shore Road, Buffalo, New York (the “Company”) adopted an equity based incentive compensation plan known as the “Gibraltar Industries, Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (such plan, as subsequently amended, being hereinafter the “Prior Plan”).  The Company’s adoption of the Prior Plan included the adoption of the terms of a separate plan, known as the Gibraltar Industries, Inc. Management Stock Purchase Plan (the “2005 MSPP”) which was an integral component of the Prior Plan and provided the Company’s management employees and non-employee Directors the opportunity to acquire Restricted Units (to be settled in cash) pursuant to a deferral, in the case of employees, of their base salary and incentive compensation and, in the case of non-employee Directors, of their Director fees.  
Effective as of March 20, 2015, the Company authorized an amendment to the MSPP to provide for a termination, to be effective as of December 31, 2015, of the continuing rights of management employees and non-employee Directors to acquire Restricted Units pursuant to the 2005 MSPP and further authorized a termination, effective as of March 20, 2015, of the Company’s authorization to issue any equity based incentive compensation awards under the Prior Plan other than Restricted Units as contemplated by the 2005 MSPP.  In connection with the foregoing, management employees will continue to be able to defer their base salary and bonuses and non-employee Directors will continue to be able to defer their Director fees and, in each case, acquire Restricted Units as provided for by deferral elections made by such management employees and non-employee Directors pursuant to the 2005 MSPP through December 31, 2015.  In addition, notwithstanding the termination of the Company’s authorization to issue equity based incentive compensation awards under the Prior Plan, the Company’s obligations with respect to all equity based incentive compensation awards issued or awarded by the Company under the terms of the Prior Plan prior to the termination of the Company’s authorization to issue equity based incentive compensation awards under the terms of the Prior Plan as described above were expressly provided to be continuing obligations of the Company.
In connection with the termination of the Company’s authority to issue equity based incentive compensation awards under the provisions of the Prior Plan as described above, the Company desires to adopt a new equity based incentive compensation plan which will enable it to make equity based compensation awards to its employees, Directors, consultants and other independent advisors providing services to the Company or any affiliate.  The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors believes that it is necessary for the Company to have an equity based compensation plan in order to be able to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified individuals to become employees of the Company or to serve as members of the Company’s Board of Directors.  The Compensation Committee has determined that the Company should have a substantial amount of flexibility with respect to the type of the equity based compensation awards that are permitted to be awarded under the terms of the new equity based incentive compensation plan as well as substantial flexibility with respect to the specific terms of any such equity based incentive compensation awards. 
In connection with the foregoing, subject to the approval of the stockholders of the Company, the Company hereby adopts this document as the Gibraltar Industries, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan effective as of May 7, 2015.

The period of time during which an Option may be exercised shall be such period of time as is determined by the Committee and specified in the instrument setting forth the terms of the Option Award; provided that, in no event may the period of time during which an Option may be exercised exceed ten (10) years from the Date of Grant of the Option.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Committee so determines, in its discretion, the instrument evidencing the grant of an Option may provide that the portion of the Option that is exercisable at the time of the Eligible Person’s Termination of Service will continue to be exercisable, and that the portion of such Option that is not exercisable at such time will become exercisable in accordance with the terms of the Option and remain exercisable thereafter, during such period of time after the date on which the Eligible Person’s Termination of Service occurs (but not beyond the expiration of the term of the Option), in such circumstances and subject to such terms and conditions, as are specified in such instrument.
4.06    Exercise Price and Method of Exercise.  The price at which Shares may be purchased upon
any exercise of an Option shall be the price per share determined by the Committee and specified in the instrument evidencing the grant of such Option; provided that, in no event shall the exercise price per Share be less than: (a) the Fair Market Value of a Share determined as of the Date of Grant of the Option; or (b) if greater, the par value of a Share.

An Option shall be exercised by delivery of a written notice of exercise, in a form satisfactory to the Committee, to the Company at its principal business office and addressed to the attention of the Company’s Secretary or such other person as the Company’s Secretary may have designated to receive such notice.  The notice shall specify the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised.  The notice shall be accompanied by payment of the exercise price of the Shares for which the Option is being exercised, which payment shall be made under one or more of the methods of payment provided in Section 4.07 below.
4.07    Payment.  Payment of the exercise price for Shares purchased upon the exercise of an Option shall be made by one, or by a combination of any, of the following methods:  (a) in cash, which may be paid by check or other instrument acceptable to the Company, or by wire transfer of funds, in each case in United States dollars; (b) if permitted by the Committee and subject to any terms and conditions it may impose on the use of such methods, by: (i) the delivery to the Company of other Shares owned by the Participant; provided that such shares have been owned by the Participant for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings; or (ii) the surrender to the Company of Shares that otherwise would have been delivered to the Participant upon exercise of the Option; and (c)  to the extent permissible under applicable law, through any cashless exercise sale and remittance procedure that the Committee in its discretion may from time to time approve. 

For purposes of determining the portion of the exercise price payable upon the exercise of an Option that will be treated as satisfied by the delivery or surrender of Shares pursuant to clause (b) (i) or (ii) above, Shares so delivered or surrendered shall be valued at their Fair Market Value determined as of the business day next preceding the date on which the Option is exercised.  
4.08    Other Option Provisions.  The instrument evidencing the grant of any Option hereunder may contain such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan or any applicable law, as the Committee may determine.

4.09    Rights of a Shareholder.  Upon the exercise by a Participant of an Option or any portion thereof in accordance with the Plan, the provisions of the instrument evidencing the grant of such Option and any applicable rules and regulations established by the Committee and the issuance to the Participant of a certificate representing the Shares with respect to which the Option has been exercised, the Participant shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Shares issued as a result of such exercise.  Prior to the issuance to a Participant of a certificate representing Shares 

issuable to the Participant upon his or her exercise of an Option, the Participant shall not have any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to such Shares.

In addition to Awards of Restricted Shares or Restricted Units which may be made to any Eligible Person in recognition of services provided to the Company and its Affiliates or as an incentive for such Eligible Person to continue to contribute to the profitability and growth of the Company and its Affiliates, effective as of the date hereof, the Company has adopted a framework under which a specific type of Restricted Unit Awards will be made, which framework, as amended from time to time prior to the effective date hereof, is known as the Gibraltar Industries, Inc. Management Stock Purchase Plan (the “MSPP”).  The MSPP is intended to be treated as an integral part of this Plan and provides for the granting of Awards of Restricted Units to Eligible Persons in consideration for and recognition of the agreement of such Eligible Persons to authorize the Company to credit Restricted Units to an account established for the benefit of such Eligible Persons under the MSSP in lieu of the payment to such Eligible Persons of a portion of the base salary and/or a portion of the annual incentive bonus (in the case of an Eligible Person that is an Employee) or all or part of the Director fees (in the case of an Eligible Person that is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors) which such Eligible Persons would otherwise be entitled to receive from the Company and its Affiliates.  

5.02    Restrictions and Restricted Period.  At the time of each grant of Restricted Shares or Restricted Units to any Participant, the Committee shall establish a period of time within which the Restricted Shares or Restricted Units covered by such grant (and the Participant’s right to receive payment with respect to such Restricted Units) may not be sold, assigned, transferred (other than a transfer to the Participant’s Beneficiary occurring by reason of the Participant’s death), made subject to gift, or otherwise disposed of, or mortgaged, pledged or otherwise encumbered, whether voluntarily or by operation of law.  The Committee in its discretion may prescribe a separate Restricted Period for any specified portion of the Restricted Shares or Restricted Units granted pursuant to any Award.

5.03    Rights While Restricted Shares Remain Subject to Restrictions.  Restricted Shares granted to a Participant hereunder may be issued to the Participant as of the Date of Grant as uncertificated shares or as Shares represented by a stock certificate bearing a legend or legends making appropriate references to the Restrictions.  Until the Restrictions which apply to Restricted Shares lapse in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.05 below or Section 9.01(c), the Restricted Shares granted to a Participant which are not certificated shall be held in the Participant’s name in a bookkeeping account maintained by the Company and Restricted Shares granted to a Participant and represented by a stock certificate shall continue to bear the legend or legends making reference to the Restrictions. A separate account shall be maintained for all Restricted Shares granted to a Participant with a Restricted Period ending on the same date.

Except for the Restrictions which apply to Restricted Shares, and subject to the forfeiture provisions applicable under Section 5.06 below, a Participant shall have, with respect to all Restricted Shares so held for his account, all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including full voting rights with respect to such Shares and the right to receive currently with respect to the Participant’s Restricted Shares all dividends and other distributions payable generally on the Company’s Shares. If any 

dividends or distributions so payable are paid in Shares, the Shares paid as a dividend or distribution with respect to a Participant’s Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same Restrictions and provisions relating to forfeiture as apply to the Restricted Shares with respect to which they were paid.  Such stock dividend Shares shall themselves be treated as Restricted Shares, and shall be credited to the same account which the Company maintains for those Restricted Shares of the Participant with respect to which such stock dividends or distributions were paid. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the instrument evidencing the grant of any Restricted Shares to a Participant so provides, all cash dividends and distributions payable generally on the Company’s Shares that are otherwise payable with respect to the Restricted Shares granted to the Participant shall not be paid currently to the Participant but instead, shall be applied to the purchase of additional Shares for the Participant’s account. The additional Shares so purchased shall be subject to the same Restrictions and provisions relating to forfeiture as apply to the Restricted Shares with respect to which they were paid.  Such additional Shares shall themselves be treated as Restricted Shares, and shall be credited to the same account which the Company maintains for those Restricted Shares of the Participant with respect to which such dividends or distributions were paid.  The purchase of any such additional Shares shall be made in accordance with such other procedure as may be specified in the instrument evidencing the grant of the Restricted Shares on which such dividends are paid.
5.04    Rights While Restricted Units Remain Subject to Restrictions.  No Shares shall be issued at the time an award of Restricted Units is made.  Except as provided in the following paragraph or otherwise provided by the instrument evidencing an Award of Restricted Units, a Participant that is the holder of an Award of Restricted Units shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to such Restricted Units.  Restricted Units granted to a Participant hereunder shall be credited to a bookkeeping account maintained by the Company for the Participant.  A separate account shall be maintained for all Restricted Units granted to a Participant with a Restricted Period ending on the same date and for all Dividend Equivalent Units that are to be credited to such account in accordance with the next following paragraph.

If any dividends or other distributions payable on the Company’s Shares are paid in Shares during any period that a Participant holds an Award of Restricted Units, as of the applicable Dividend Payment Date, a number of additional Restricted Units shall be credited to each account established for the Participant to reflect the number of Restricted Units held by the Participant as of such Dividend Payment Date.  The number of additional Restricted Units to be credited shall be determined by first multiplying: (a) the total number of Restricted Units standing to the Participant’s credit in such account on the day immediately preceding such Dividend Payment Date (including all Dividend Equivalent Units credited to such account on all previous Dividend Payment Dates); by (b) the per share dollar amount of the dividend paid on such Dividend Payment Date; and then, (c) dividing the resulting amount by the Fair Market Value of one Share on such Dividend Payment Date.  Dividend Equivalent Units awarded pursuant to this paragraph to a Participant that holds an Award of Restricted Units shall have the same Restricted Period as the Restricted Units with respect to which such Dividend Equivalent Units have been awarded.
5.05    Lapse of Restrictions and Payment.  Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period for any Restricted Shares or Restricted Units granted to a Participant hereunder but subject to the provisions of Section 5.06 below, the Restrictions applicable to such Restricted Shares or Restricted Units shall lapse, and payment with respect to such Restricted Shares or Restricted Units (including any related Dividend Equivalent Units) shall be made in accordance with the following provisions:

(a)    In the case of Restricted Shares, payment shall be made by delivery to the Participant of a stock certificate for the number of such Restricted Shares, free and clear of all Restrictions to which such shares were subject. However, if the Restricted Shares with respect to which the applicable Restrictions have lapsed includes a fractional Share, payment for such fractional Share shall be made in cash, in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional Share determined as of  the date on which such Restrictions lapsed. Delivery of such stock certificate and any such cash payment shall be made to the Participant as soon as practicable following the lapse of the applicable Restrictions.

(b)    In the case of Restricted Units (including related Dividend Equivalent Units), payment shall be made: (i) in all cases other than Restricted Units issued in connection with the MSPP, by the issuance and delivery to the Participant of a stock certificate for a number of Shares equal to the number of whole Restricted Units and related Dividend Equivalent Units with respect to which the applicable Restrictions have lapsed, and (ii) by payment in cash for any fractional Restricted Unit payable as a result of the lapse of such Restrictions, in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional Restricted Unit determined as of the date as of which such Restrictions lapsed.  In the case of Restricted Units issued pursuant to the terms of the MSPP, payment shall be made, in cash, in an amount and at the time provided for in the MSPP.  Issuance of certificates for Shares shall be made in such manner and at such time or times as provided in such instrument.  Unless otherwise provided by the instrument evidencing a grant of Restricted Units, payment with respect to any part or all of a Participant’s Restricted Units (including related Dividend Equivalent Units) may be deferred, at the Participant’s election, upon such terms and conditions as are specified by the Participant, in writing, subject to the restrictions on deferral of compensation contained in Code Section 409A.

5.06    Termination of Service.  Except as the instrument evidencing the grant of Restricted Shares or Restricted Units may otherwise provide, upon an Eligible Person’s Termination of Service for any reason prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period which is in effect for any Restricted Shares or Restricted Units (and related Dividend Equivalent Units) standing to his or her credit immediately prior to such Termination of Service, the Eligible Person’s right to receive payment with respect to such Restricted Shares, Restricted Units and Dividend Equivalent Units shall be forfeited and cancelled as of the date of such Termination of Service, and no payment of any kind shall be made with respect to such Restricted Shares, Restricted Units and Dividend Equivalent Units.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Committee so determines, in its discretion, the instrument evidencing the Award of such Restricted Shares or Restricted Units may provide that if the Eligible Person’s Termination of Service occurs prior to the end of the Restricted Period established for such Restricted Shares or Restricted Units as a result of the Eligible Person’s death, Disability or Retirement, as a result of a termination of the Eligible Person’s employment by the Company without “cause” or as a result of a termination of the Eligible Person’s employment  by the Eligible Person for a “good reason” (in each case, as “cause” and “good reason” may be defined in the instrument evidencing the grant of Restricted Shares or Restricted Units),  payment will be made with respect to all or a Pro Rata Portion of such Restricted Shares or Restricted Units and any related Dividend Equivalent Units.  In such case, only the Eligible Person’s right to receive payment with respect to any remaining portion of the Restricted Shares or Restricted Units (and related Dividend Equivalent Units) for which such Restricted Period was established shall be cancelled and forfeited. Any payment required to be made with respect to an Eligible Person’s Restricted Shares or Restricted Units (and related Dividend Equivalent Units) pursuant to this paragraph shall be made as soon as practicable after the date of such Eligible Person’s Termination of Service, and shall be made in the manner specified in Section 5.05.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.03 or of the above, if an Eligible Person's Termination of Service occurs, for any reason, prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period which is in effect for an Award of Restricted Shares, the Eligible Person shall, to the extent that the Eligible Person has forfeited any Restricted Shares in connection with such Termination of Service, be deemed to forfeit his right to all cash dividends received with respect to the portion of the Restricted Shares previously awarded to such Eligible Person which have been forfeited.  In connection with the forfeiture by an Eligible Person of the cash dividends received by the Eligible Person with respect to the Restricted Shares previously awarded to the Eligible Person which have been forfeited, the Eligible Person shall be obligated to pay to the Company, no later than thirty (30) days following such Eligible Person's Termination of Service, the amount of the dividends received by such Eligible Person which is deemed to be forfeited pursuant to the provision of the preceding sentence.  In connection with the foregoing, if, pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the Committee has provided in the instrument evidencing the Award of Restricted Shares that the Eligible Person’s right to receive payment for all or a Pro Rata portion of the Restricted Shares will not be forfeited if the Eligible Person's Termination of Service occurs prior to the end of the Restricted Period established for such Restricted Shares as a result of the Eligible Person's death, Disability or Retirement, as a result of a termination of the Eligible Person’s employment by the Company without “cause” or as a result of a termination of the Eligible Person’s employment  by the Eligible Person for a “good reason”, the Eligible Person will not forfeit his right to all cash dividends received with respect to the portion of Restricted Shares which have not been forfeited and such Eligible Person shall be entitled to retain all or a portion of such cash dividends.
5.07    Notice of Code Section 83(b) Election.  A Participant who files an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to include in gross income the Fair Market Value of any Restricted Shares granted hereunder while such Shares are still subject to Restrictions shall furnish the Company with a copy of the election so filed by the Participant, within ten days of the filing of such election with the Internal Revenue Service.

ARTICLE 6.
PERFORMANCE SHARES AND PERFORMANCE UNITS

6.01    Awards of Performance Shares and Performance Units.  Subject to the limitations set forth in Article 3 and to the other terms and conditions of the Plan, Performance Shares or Performance Units may be granted to such Eligible Persons, at such times, in such amounts,  and upon such terms and conditions, as the Committee may determine in its discretion.  Performance Shares and Performance Units shall be granted in accordance with the provisions set forth below.

6.02    Establishment of Performance Goals and Performance Targets.  In connection with each Award of Performance Shares or Performance Units, the Committee shall establish in writing, and the instrument evidencing the grant of such Award shall specify: (a) the Performance Goal or Goals and the Performance Period that will apply with respect to such Award; (b) the level or levels of achievement of the Performance Goal or Goals that must be met in order for payment to be made with respect to the Award; (c) the number of Performance Shares that will be issued and delivered to the recipient of the Award, or the percentage of the Performance Units (and any related Dividend Equivalent Units) credited to the recipient in connection with the Award as to which payment will be made, if the Performance Goal or Goals applicable to such Award: (i) have been fully achieved; (ii) have been exceeded; or (iii) have not been fully achieved but have been achieved at or beyond any minimum or intermediate level of achievement specified in the instrument evidencing the grant of such Award; and (d) such other terms and conditions pertaining to the Award as the Committee in its discretion may determine.  In connection with any such Award made to any Covered Executive, the matters described in the preceding sentence shall be 

established within such period of time as may be permitted by the regulations issued under Section 162(m) of the Code.

6.03    Rights While Performance Shares Remain Subject to Achievement of Performance Goals.  Performance Shares granted to a Participant hereunder may be issued to the Participant as of the Date of Grant as uncertificated shares or as Shares represented by a stock certificate bearing a legend or legends making appropriate reference to the restrictions on transferability of such Performance Shares as hereinafter set forth.  Until the Performance Period which applies to the Performance Shares expires, the Performance Shares granted to a Participant which are not certificated shall be held in the Participant’s name in a bookkeeping account maintained by the Company and Performance Shares granted to a Participant and represented by a stock certificate shall continue to bear the legend or legends making reference to the restrictions on transferability of such Performance Shares as hereinafter set forth. 

Until the Performance Period which applies to an award of Performance Shares has expired, the Performance Shares shall not be sold, assigned, transferred (other than a transfer to the Participant’s Beneficiary occurring by reason of the Participant’s death), made subject to gift or otherwise disposed of, mortgaged, pledged or otherwise encumbered, whether voluntarily or by operation of law.  A separate account shall be maintained for all Performance Shares granted to a Participant with a Performance Period ending on the same date.

Except for the restrictions on transferability which apply to Performance Shares, and subject to the forfeiture provisions applicable under Section 6.10 below, a Participant shall have, with respect to all Performance Shares so held for his account, all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including full voting rights with respect to such Shares and the right to receive currently with respect to the Participant’s Performance Shares, all dividends and other distributions payable generally on the Company’s Shares.  If any dividends or distributions so payable are paid in Shares, the Shares paid as a dividend or distribution with respect to a Participant’s Performance Shares shall be subject to the same Performance Goals and provisions relating to forfeiture as apply to the Performance Shares with respect to which they were paid.  Such stock dividend Shares shall themselves be treated as Performance Shares, and shall be credited to the same account which the Company maintains for those Performance Shares of the Participant with respect to which such stock dividends or distributions were paid.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the instrument evidencing the grant of any Performance Shares to a Participant so provides, all cash dividends and distributions payable generally on the Company’s Shares that are otherwise payable with respect to the Performance Shares granted to the Participant shall not be paid currently to the Participant but instead, shall be applied to the purchase of additional Shares for the Participant’s account.  The additional Shares so purchased shall be subject to the same Performance Goals and provisions relating to forfeiture as apply to the Performance Shares, and shall be credited to the same account which the Company maintains for those Performance Shares of the Participant with respect to which such dividends or distributions were paid.  The purchase of any such additional Shares shall be made in accordance with such other procedure as may be specified in the instrument evidencing the grant of the Performance Shares on which such dividends are paid.
6.04    Rights While Performance Units Remain Subject to Achievement of Performance Goals.  No Shares shall be issued at the time an Award of Performance Units is made.  Except as provided in the following paragraph or otherwise provided in the instrument evidencing an Award of Performance Units, a Participant that is the holder of an Award of Performance Units shall not have any rights of a shareholder with respect to such Performance Units.  Performance Units granted to a Participant hereunder shall be credited to a bookkeeping account maintained by the Company for the Participant.  A separate account 

shall be maintained for all Performance Units granted to a Participant with a Performance Period ending on the same date and for all Dividend Equivalent Units that are to be credited to such account in accordance with the following paragraph.

If any dividends or other distributions payable on the Company’s Shares are paid in Shares during any period that a Participant holds an Award of Performance Units, as of the applicable Dividend Payment Date, a number of additional Performance Units shall be credited to each account established for the Participant to reflect the number of Performance Units held by the Participant as of such Dividend Payment Date.  The number of such additional Performance Units to be credited shall be determined by first multiplying: (a) the total number of Performance Units standing to the Participant’s credit in such account on the day immediately preceding such Dividend Payment Date (including all Dividend Equivalent Units credited to such account on all previous Dividend Payment Dates); by (b) the per Share dollar amount of the dividend paid on such Dividend Payment Date; and then, (c) dividing the resulting amount by the Fair Market Value of one Share on such Dividend Payment Date.  Dividend Equivalent Units awarded pursuant to this paragraph to a Participant that holds an Award of Performance Units shall have the same Performance Goals and Performance Period as the Performance Units with respect to which such Dividend Equivalent Units have been awarded.

6.05    Performance Goals for Covered Executives.  In the case of any Award of Performance Shares or Performance Units to any Eligible Person who is a Covered Executive, the Performance Goal or Goals established in connection with such Award shall be based on one or more of the following business criteria, as determined by the Committee in its discretion: (a) the attainment of specified levels of, or increases in, the Company’s after-tax or pretax return on stockholder’s equity; (b) the attainment of specified levels in the fair market value of the Company’s Shares; (c) the attainment of specified levels of growth in the value of an investment in the Company’s Shares, assuming that all dividends paid on the Company’s Common Stock are reinvested in additional Shares; (d) the attainment of specified levels of, or increases in, the Company’s pre-tax or after-tax earnings, profits, net income, or earnings per share; (e) the attainment of specified levels of, or increases in, the Company’s earnings before income tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); (f) attainment of specified levels of, or increases in, the Company’s net sales, gross revenues or cash flow from operations; (g) the attainment of specified levels of, or increases in, the Company’s working capital, or in its return on capital employed or invested; (h) the attainment of specified levels of, or decreases in, the Company’s operating costs or any one or more components thereof, or in the amount of all or any specified portion of the Company’s debt or other outstanding financial obligations; and (i) such other business performance criteria as may, from time to time, be established by the Committee in the instrument which contains the Award of Performance Shares or Performance Units.

Any of the business criteria described in the preceding paragraph which the Committee establishes as a Performance Goal may be measured either by the performance of the Company and its Affiliates on a consolidated basis, or by the performance of any one or more of the Company’s subsidiaries, divisions, or other business units, as the Committee in its discretion may determine.  In its discretion, the Committee may also establish Performance Goals, based on any of the business criteria described in this Section 6.05, that require the attainment of a specified level of performance of the Company, or any of its subsidiaries, divisions or other business units, relative to the performance of other specified corporations, in order for such Performance Goals to be met.
The Committee may also, in its discretion, include in any Performance Goal the attainment of which depends on a determination of the net earnings or income of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, divisions or other business units, provisions which require such determination to be made by eliminating 

the effects of any decreases in or charges to earnings for: (a) the effect of foreign currency exchange rates; (b) any acquisitions, divestitures, discontinuances of business operations, restructurings, impairments, refinancings or other special charges; (c) the cumulative effect of any accounting changes; and (d) any “extraordinary items” as determined under generally accepted accounting principles, to the extent that such decreases or charges referred to in clauses (a) through (d) of this paragraph are separately disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report for each fiscal year within the applicable Performance Period.
6.06    Performance Goals for Non-Covered Executives.  In the case of Awards of Performance Shares or Performance Units made hereunder to Eligible Persons who are not Covered Executives, the Performance Goal or Goals applicable to such Awards shall be such corporate or individual goals as the Committee in its discretion may determine. 

6.07    Measurement of Performance.  At the end of the Performance Period established in connection with any Award of Performance Shares or Performance Units, the Committee shall determine the extent to which the Performance Goal or Goals established for such Award have been met, and shall determine, on that basis, the number of Performance Shares or Performance Units included in such Award that have been earned and as to which  payment will be made pursuant to Section 6.09 below, subject to the adjustments provided for in Section 6.08 and the forfeiture provisions of Section 6.10.  In the case of any Award granted to a Covered Executive, the issuance of Performance Shares to the Covered Executive shall be subject to Section 162(m) of the Code.

6.08    Adjustment of Award Amounts.  The number of Shares issuable with respect to an Award on the basis of the level of attainment of the applicable Performance Goals as determined by the Committee under Section 6.07 shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the following provisions:

(a)    To the extent not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan and if the instrument evidencing the Award so provides, the number of Shares otherwise issuable with respect to an Award to an Eligible Person who is not a Covered Executive may be increased or decreased to the extent determined by the Committee in its discretion, based on the Committee’s evaluation of the Eligible Person’s individual performance or to reflect such other events, circumstances or factors as the Committee in its discretion deems appropriate in determining the extent to which payment should be made with respect to the Eligible Person’s Award.

(b)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.08(a) above, the Committee shall not have any authority to increase the number of Shares otherwise issuable with respect to any Award of Performance Shares or Performance Units to a Covered Executive.  However, if the instrument evidencing an Award to a Covered Executive so provides, the Committee may, in its discretion, reduce the number of Shares otherwise issuable with respect to such Award: (i) to reflect any decreases in or charges to earnings that were not taken into account pursuant to clause (a), (b), (c), or (d) of the last paragraph of Section 6.05 in determining net earnings or income for purposes of any Performance Goal established in connection with such Award; (ii) to reflect any credits to earnings for extraordinary items of income or gain that were taken into account in determining net earnings or income for such purposes; (iii) to reflect the Committee’s evaluation of the Covered Executive’s individual performance; or (iv) to reflect any other events, circumstances or factors which the Committee believes to be appropriate in determining the extent to which payment should be made with respect to the Covered Executive’s Award.

6.09    Payment of Awards.  Payment with respect to that number of Performance Shares or Performance Units subject to any Award which the Committee has determined under Section 6.07 above 

to have been earned, as adjusted to the extent determined by the Committee under Section 6.08, shall be made in accordance with the following provisions:

(a)    In the case of any such Performance Shares, payment shall be made by the issuance and delivery to the Participant of a stock certificate for the requisite number of such Shares free of the legends making reference to restrictions on transferability of the Performance Shares provided for by this Plan.  However, if the Performance Shares with respect to which payment is to be made include a fractional Share, payment of such fractional Share shall be made in cash, in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional Share determined as of the end of the Performance Period.  Such Shares shall be issued and delivered, and, if applicable, such cash payment shall be made, to the Participant as soon as practicable after the end of the Performance Period applicable to the Award in question.

(b)    In the case of Performance Units, (including related Dividend Equivalent Units), payment shall be made: (i) by the issuance and delivery to the Participant of a stock certificate for a number of Shares equal to the total number of such whole Performance Units and related Dividend Equivalent Units; and (ii) by payment in cash for any fractional Unit in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional Unit determined as of the day immediately preceding the date as of which payment is to be made.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment for such Performance Units (including related Dividend Equivalent Units) may be made wholly or partly in cash, in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of all of the Units and any fractional Unit as to which a cash payment is to be made, if the instrument evidencing the grant of such Performance Units so provides.  Payment shall be made in such manner and at such time or times as provided in such instrument.  Unless otherwise provided by the instrument evidencing the grant of Performance Units, payment with respect to any part or all of a Participant’s Performance Units (including any related Dividend Equivalent Units) may be deferred, at the Participant’s election, upon such terms and conditions as are specified by the Participant, in writing, subject to the restrictions on deferral of compensation contained in Code Section 409A.

6.10    Termination of Service.  Except as the instrument evidencing the grant of  Performance Shares or Performance Units may otherwise provide, upon an Eligible Person’s Termination of Service for any reason prior to the end of the Performance Period established for any Award of Performance Shares or Performance Units, such Award shall be cancelled, all Performance Shares or Performance Units included in such Award, and all Dividend Equivalent Units that were credited with respect to such Performance Shares or Performance Units, shall be forfeited, and no payment of any kind shall be made with respect to such Award.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Committee so determines, in its discretion, the instrument evidencing any such Award may provide that if the Eligible Person’s Termination of Service occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period established for such Award as a result of the Eligible Person’s death, Disability or Retirement, as a result of a termination of the Eligible Person’s employment by the Company without “cause” or as a result of a termination of the Eligible Person’s employment  by the Eligible Person for a “good reason” (in each case, as “cause” and “good reason” may be defined in the instrument evidencing the grant of Performance Shares or Performance Units), payment will be made at the end of the Performance Period, in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.09, with respect to all or a Pro Rata Portion of the number of Shares and/or the amount of cash that otherwise would have been payable to the Eligible Person, as determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6.07 and 6.08, if the Eligible Person’s Termination of Service had not occurred prior to the end of such Performance Period.  In such case, only the Eligible Person’s right to receive payment with respect to any remaining portion of the Performance Shares or Performance Units (and related Dividend Equivalent Units) included in such Award shall be cancelled and forfeited.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.03 above and notwithstanding the absence of the provisions of this paragraph from provisions of any instrument containing the provisions of an Award issued prior to the effective date of this Amendment and Restatement, if an Eligible Person's Termination of Service occurs, for any reason, prior to the expiration of the Performance Period which is in effect for an Award of Performance Shares, the Eligible Person shall, upon such Termination of Service, be deemed to forfeit his right to all cash dividends received with respect to the portion of the Performance Shares previously awarded to such Eligible Person which have been forfeited.  In connection with the forfeiture by an Eligible Person of the cash dividends received by the Eligible Person with respect to the Performance Shares previously awarded to the Eligible Person which have been forfeited, the Eligible Person shall be obligated to pay to the Company, no later than thirty (30) days following such Eligible Person's Termination of Service, the amount of the dividends received by such Eligible Person which is deemed to be forfeited pursuant to the provision of the preceding sentence.  In connection with the foregoing, if, pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the Committee has provided in the instrument evidencing the Award of Performance Shares that the Eligible Person shall have the right to receive payment for Performance Shares awarded to the Eligible Person if the Eligible Person's Termination of Service occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period established for such Performance Shares as a result of the Eligible Person's death, Disability or Retirement, as a result of a termination of the Eligible Person’s employment by the Company without “cause” or as a result of a termination of the Eligible Person’s employment  by the Eligible Person for a “good reason”, the Eligible Person will not forfeit his right to all cash dividends received with respect to the portion of Performance Shares which have not been forfeited and that such Eligible Person shall be entitled to retain all or a portion of such cash dividends.
6.11    Notice of Code Section 83(b) Election.  A Participant who files an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to include in gross income the Fair Market Value of any Performance Shares granted hereunder while such Shares are still subject to achievement of Performance Goals shall furnish the Company with a copy of the election so filed by the Participant within ten (10) days of the filing of such election with the Internal Revenue Service.

ARTICLE 7.
RIGHTS

7.01    Awards of Rights.  (a)  Subject to the limitations set forth in Article 3 above and to the other terms and conditions of the Plan, Rights may be granted under the Plan to any Eligible Person at such times and upon such terms and conditions as the Committee, in its discretion may determine.  Rights shall be granted in accordance with the provisions of this Article 7.

(b)    The terms of the instrument which contains the terms of an Award of Rights shall specify the number of Shares which shall be used as the basis for determining the value of the Rights at the end of the Appreciation Period and the Base Price in effect for those Shares.  

(c)    Rights shall be exercisable at such time and upon such terms as may be established by the Committee in the instrument setting forth the terms of the Award; provided that, in no event shall the period of time that an Award of Rights is exercisable extend beyond the ten (10) year period beginning on the Date of Grant.

(d)    Rights shall be subject to the same transferability restrictions applicable to all Awards and may not be transferred during the holder’s lifetime, except to one or more family members as provided in Section 8.02.

(e)    The holder of a Right shall not have any stockholder rights with respect to the Shares used to determine the value of the Right.

7.02    Dividend Equivalent Units.  If any dividends or other distributions payable on the Company’s Shares are paid in Shares during any period that a Participant holds an Award of Rights, as of the applicable Dividend Payment Date, a number of additional Rights shall be credited to any account established for the Participant to reflect the number of Rights held by the Participant as of such Dividend Payment Date.  The number of such additional Rights to be credited shall be determined by first multiplying: (a) the total number of Rights standing to the Participant’s credit in such account on the day immediately preceding such Dividend Payment Date (including all Dividend Equivalent Units credited to such account on all previous Dividend Payment Dates); by (b) the per share dollar amount of the dividend paid on such Dividend Payment Date; and then (c) dividing the resulting amount by the Fair Market Value of one Share on such Dividend Payment Date.  Additional Rights awarded pursuant to this Section to a Participant that holds an Award of Rights shall be exercisable at the same time and upon the same terms as the Rights with respect to which such additional Rights are to be issued; provided that, the Base Price of such rights shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share, determined as of the applicable Dividend Payment Date.

7.03    Termination of Service.  Except as the instrument evidencing the grant of an Award of Rights may otherwise provide, upon an Eligible Person’s Termination of Service for any reason prior to the expiration of the Appreciation Period which is in effect for any Right (and related Dividend Equivalent Units) standing to his or her credit immediately prior to such Termination of Service, the Eligible Person’s right to exercise such Right shall be forfeited and cancelled as of the date of such Termination of Service, and no payment of any kind shall be made with respect to such Right and related Dividend Equivalent Units. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Committee so determines, in its discretion, the instrument evidencing the Award of such Right may provide that if the Eligible Person’s Termination of Service occurs prior to the end of the Appreciation Period established for such Right as a result of the Eligible Person’s death, Disability or Retirement, as a result of a termination of the Eligible Person’s employment by the Company without “cause” or as a result of a termination of the Eligible Person’s employment  by the Eligible Person for a “good reason” (in each case, as “cause” and “good reason” may be defined in the instrument evidencing the grant of Rights), payment will be made with respect to all or a Pro Rata Portion of such Right and any related Dividend Equivalent Units.  In such case, only the Eligible Person’s right to receive payment with respect to any portion of the Right (and related Dividend Equivalent Units) which has been forfeited shall be cancelled and forfeited. Any payment required to be made with respect to an Eligible Person’s Right (and related Dividend Equivalent Units) pursuant to this paragraph shall be made as soon as practicable after the date of such person’s Termination of Service, and shall be made in the manner specified in Section 7.04.

7.04    Payment of Awards.  In the case of Rights, (including related Dividend Equivalent Units), payment shall be made: (a) by the issuance and delivery to the Participant of a stock certificate for a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date the Rights are exercised equal to: (i) the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares used as the basis for determining the value of the Rights being exercised, determined as of the date the Rights are exercised; minus (ii) the aggregate Base Price in effect for the Rights being exercised; and (b) by payment in cash for any fractional Shares which would be issued using the formula contained in (a) above.  Issuance of certificates for Shares shall be made in such manner and at such time or times as provided in such instrument.  Unless otherwise provided by the instrument evidencing the grant of Rights, issuance of certificates for Shares with respect to any part or all 

of a Participant’s Rights (including any related Dividend Equivalent Units) may be deferred, at the Participant’s election, upon such terms and conditions as are specified by the Participant, in writing, subject to the restrictions on deferral of compensation contained in Code Section 409A.    

ARTICLE 8.
TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS

8.01    Restrictions on Transfers.  Except as otherwise provided by Section 8.02 below: (a) any Option granted to an Eligible Person under the Plan shall be nontransferable and may be exercised during the Eligible Person’s lifetime only by the Eligible Person; (b) any Restricted Shares, Restricted Units, Performance Shares, Performance Units and Rights granted to an Eligible Person under the Plan shall not be transferrable by the Eligible Person during his or her lifetime; and (c) a Participant’s right to receive payment of Shares or cash with respect to any Award granted to the Participant under the Plan shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant.

8.02    Permitted Transfers.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.01 above, if the instrument evidencing the grant of any Award so provides, the recipient of such Award may transfer his or her rights with respect to such Award, or any portion thereof, to any “family member” of the recipient, as that term is defined in the General Instructions to Form S‐8 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to such limitations, terms and conditions as may be specified in such instrument.

ARTICLE 9.
EFFECTS OF CHANGE IN CONTROL

9.01    Change in Control.  Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan to the contrary, except as otherwise provided in the Merger Sale Agreement entered into by the Company in connection with a Change in Control, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the following provisions shall apply:

(a)    Each Option outstanding on the day immediately preceding the date on which the Change in Control occurs shall be converted to a right to receive an Option Cash Out Payment.  Payment of the Option Cash Out Payment shall be made to the holder of the Option in one lump sum payment, less applicable withholding taxes, on the date on which the Change in Control occurs.

(b)    Each Right outstanding on the day immediately preceding the date on which the Change in Control occurs shall be converted to a right to receive a Right Cash Out Payment.  Payment of the Right Cash Out Payment shall be made to the holder of the Right in one lump sum payment, less applicable withholding taxes, on the date on which the Change in Control occurs.

(c)    The Restricted Periods applicable to all Restricted Shares and Restricted Units (including any related Dividend Equivalent Units) granted to a Participant hereunder that are still outstanding on the day immediately preceding the date on which such Change in Control occurs shall expire on such date; all Restrictions applicable to such outstanding Restricted Shares, Restricted Units and related Dividend Equivalent Units shall lapse on such date; and the Participant’s rights to receive delivery or payment with respect to all such outstanding Restricted Shares, Restricted Units and related Dividend Equivalent Units shall become nonforfeitable as of such date.  Payment with respect to such outstanding Restricted Shares, Restricted Units and related Dividend Equivalent Units shall be made on the date the Change in Control occurs.  Unless the Committee determines that payment with respect to Restricted 

Shares and Restricted Units is to be made in the form of a cash payment instead of the issuance and delivery of Shares, the Company shall take whatever steps are necessary to cause all such Restricted Shares and Shares attributable to Restricted Units to be issued to the applicable Participants, and to be treated as outstanding, as of the date the Change in Control occurs.

(d)    The Performance Periods applicable to all Performance Shares and Performance Units (including any related Dividend Equivalent Units) granted to a Participant hereunder that are still outstanding on the day immediately preceding the date on which such Change in Control occurs shall end on such date; all Performance Goals that were established in connection with the Award of such Performance Shares or Performance Units shall be deemed to have been satisfied in full as of such date at the targeted level of performance established for such Performance Shares or such Performance Units; the number of Performance Shares or the percentage of  the Performance Units as to which payment is to be made in the event the Performance Goal or Goals applicable to the Award of such Shares or Units are met at the targeted level of performance, as specified in the instrument evidencing the grant of such Award, shall be deemed to be earned in full as of such date; and the Participant shall acquire on such date a nonforfeitable right to receive payment with respect to such number of Performance Shares (including any cash payment for dividends payable thereon, if the instrument evidencing the grant of such shares provides for such cash payment), or with respect to such percentage of the Performance Units (and any related Dividend Equivalent Units), determined without any adjustment under Section 6.09(a) or (b).  Payment with respect to such Performance Shares, Performance Units and related Dividend Equivalent Units shall be made on the date the Change in Control occurs.  Unless the Committee determines that payment with respect to such Performance Shares and Performance Units is to be made in the form of a cash payment instead of by the issuance and delivery of Shares, the Company shall take whatever steps are necessary to cause all such Performance Shares and Shares attributable to Performance Units to be issued to the applicable Participants, and to be treated as outstanding, as of the date the Change in Control occurs.

9.02    Substitution of New Awards.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.01, if provided for by a Merger Sale Agreement entered into in connection with a Change in Control, the rights of Participants under any Awards outstanding on the day immediately preceding the Change in Control shall be honored or assumed or new rights issued therefor by the entity which survives the Change in Control (each such honored, assumed or substituted Award being hereinafter an “Alternative Award”); provided that, any such Alternative Award satisfies the following criteria:

(a)the Alternative Award must be based on stock which is traded on an established securities market, or which will be so traded within thirty (30) days of the Change in Control;

(b)the Alternative Award must provide the Participant with rights and entitlements substantially equivalent to or better than the rights, terms and conditions applicable under such Award, including, but not limited to, an identical or better exercise schedule; and 

(c)the Alternative Award must have economic value substantially equivalent to the value of such Award (determined at the time of the Change in Control).

ARTICLE 10.
COMPLIANCE WITH CODE SECTION 409A

10.01     In General.  This Article 10 is intended to comply with final regulations promulgated under Code Section 409A.  If and to the extent that an amount which is payable with respect to any Award 

made pursuant to the terms of this Plan is determined to be deferred compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Plan or any Award or in any instrument pursuant to which an Award is granted under the Plan (an “Award Instrument”), payment of such deferred compensation shall only be made in a manner which complies with the requirements of Code Section 409A and the regulations promulgated thereunder. 

10.02    409A Excluded Stock Rights.  All Non-Qualified Stock Options and Rights awarded under the Plan are intended not to provide for the deferral of compensation, in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(5)(i)(A) and (B) (said Awards are hereinafter referred to as “409A Excluded Stock Rights”), except where an Award Instrument states explicitly that the Award is intended to provide for a deferral of compensation (such Award is hereinafter referred to as a “409A Non-Excluded Stock Right”).  Accordingly, the Plan shall be construed, and may be amended, in such manner as will ensure that 409A Excluded Stock Rights remain excluded from the application of Code Section 409A.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(a)    no 409A Excluded Stock Right shall be awarded with an exercise price that is less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Date of Grant where Fair Market Value is determined in a manner permitted under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(5)(iv);

(b)     no 409A Excluded Stock Right shall be modified, extended or exchanged for a new Award if such modification, extension or exchange would cause the 409A Excluded Stock Right to become (or be replaced by) a 409A Non-Excluded Stock Right or other Award that is subject to Code Section 409A;

(c)    a 409A Excluded Stock Right shall expire no later than its original expiration date and, if a Excluded Stock Right would expire after its original expiration date, because the Participant has died or otherwise become unable to exercise the Stock Right due to a mental or physical disability, the Stock Right shall be deemed exercised by the owner thereof on the day preceding its original expiration date if the then Fair Market Value of the Common Stock exceeds the exercise price;

(d)     any extension of a 409A Excluded Stock Right, whether pursuant to a provision of the Plan or an exercise of Committee discretion, shall not extend the term of the Award beyond the earlier of (i) the original expiration date stated in the Award Instrument, or (ii) the tenth anniversary of the Award;

(e)    no 409A Excluded Stock Right shall permit the deferral of compensation beyond the date of exercise;

(f)     no dividends shall be paid or credited on a 409A Excluded Stock Right that would have the effect of reducing the exercise price of the 409A Excluded Stock Right below Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Date of Grant in violation of Code Section 409A and the Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(5)(i)(E); and

(g)    any Common Stock, cash or other consideration to be transferred to the Participant in connection with the exercise of the 409A Excluded Stock Right shall be transferred as soon as practicable and in all events within 30 days following the exercise date and the Participant shall have no right to determine the calendar year in which such transfer occurs.

10.03    409A Non-Excluded Stock Rights.  If an Award Instrument states explicitly that the Non-Qualified Stock Option or the Right granted thereunder is intended to provide for a deferral of compensation in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(5)(i)(C) (such Award is hereinafter referred to 

as “409A Non-Excluded Stock Right”), the Award Instrument shall be deemed to incorporate the terms and conditions necessary to avoid inclusion of the Award in the Participant’s gross income pursuant to Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code and the Plan and Award Instrument shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder so as to avoid the inclusion of the Award in gross income pursuant to Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(a)    the Award Instrument shall specify that the 409A Non-Excluded Stock Right will expire on the last day of the calendar year in which the 409A Non-Excluded Stock Right becomes exercisable, and that any Common Stock, cash or other consideration to be transferred to the Participant in connection with the exercise of the 409A Non-Excluded Stock Right shall be transferred to the Participant on or before March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the 409A Non-Excluded Stock Right becomes exercisable;

(b)    the date on which the 409A Non-Excluded Stock Right becomes exercisable may not be accelerated except as may be permitted under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(j); and

(c)    in the case of a 409A Non-Excluded Stock Right that becomes exercisable as a result of the separation from service of a Participant who is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(i) as applied by the Company, no Common Stock, cash or other consideration shall be transferred to the Participant in connection with the exercise of the 409A Non-Excluded Stock Right until the day following the 6-month anniversary of the Participant’s separation from service.

10.04    409A Excluded Current Property Transfers.  Restricted Shares and Performance Shares (“Current Property Transfers”) awarded under the Plan are intended not to provide for the deferral of compensation, in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(6) (said Awards are hereinafter referred to as “409A Excluded Current Property Transfers”), unless the Award Instrument states explicitly that the Award is intended to provide for a deferral of compensation (such an Award is hereinafter referred to as “409A Non-excluded Current Property Transfer”).  Accordingly, the Plan shall be construed, and may be amended, to ensure that 409A Excluded Current Property Transfers remain excluded from the application of Code Section 409A.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Award Instrument shall provide for or permit the deferral of compensation resulting from a 409A Excluded Current Property Transfer beyond the date on which the 409A Excluded Current Property Transfer would otherwise become includable in gross income in accordance with the rules of Code Section 83 (or would have become includable but for the exercise of an election under Code Section 83(b)).

10.05    409A Non-Excluded Current Property Transfers.  If, under the terms of an Award Instrument, a Current Property Transfer would be deemed to be a deferral of compensation under Section 409A of the Code (such Award is hereinafter referred to as “409A Non-Excluded Current Property Transfer”), the Award Instrument shall be deemed to incorporate the terms and conditions necessary to avoid inclusion of the Award in the Participant’s gross income pursuant to Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code and the Plan and Award Instrument shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder so as to avoid the inclusion of the Award in gross income pursuant to Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(a)    the Award Instrument shall specify one or more dates or events permitted under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A) at which time the Award will be settled in cash or vested property;

(b)    the Award Instrument shall specify the manner in which the Award will be paid (e.g., lump sum or installments) and the dates on or periods within which payment will occur;

(c)    the date of settlement of the Award shall not be accelerated except as otherwise permitted under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(j); and

(d)    in the case of a 409A Non-excluded Current Property Transfer that becomes payable as a result of the separation from service of a Participant who is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(i) as applied by the Company, no cash or property shall be paid to the Participant in connection with the settlement of the Award until the day following the 6-month anniversary of the Participant’s separation from service.

10.06    409A Excluded Future Property Transfers.  Any Awards permitted under the Plan other than those referred to in Sections 10.02, 10.03, 10.04 and 10.05 including, but not limited to, Restricted Units and Performance Units (“Future Property Transfers”), are intended not to provide for the deferral of compensation, in accordance with the short-term deferral rule set forth in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4) (said Awards are hereinafter referred to as “409A Excluded Future Property Transfers”) unless the terms of the Award Instrument, the Future Property Transfer would be deemed to result in a deferral of compensation under Section 409A of the Code (such an Award is hereinafter referred to as a “409A Non-excluded Future Property Transfer”).  Accordingly, the Plan shall be construed, and may be amended, to ensure that 409A Excluded Future Property Transfers remain excluded from the application of Code Section 409A.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Award Instrument shall provide (or shall be construed to provide) that a 409A Excluded Future Property Transfer must be settled in cash or vested property on or before March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the 409A Excluded Future Property Transfer ceased to be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4).

10.07    409A Non-excluded Future Property Transfers.  If, under the terms of an Award Instrument, a Future Property Transfer would be deemed to result in a deferral of compensation in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4) (“409A Non-excluded Future Property Transfer”), the Award Instrument shall be deemed to incorporate the terms and conditions necessary to avoid inclusion of the Award in the Participant’s gross income pursuant to Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code and the Plan and Award Instrument shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder so as to avoid the inclusion of the Award in gross income pursuant to Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(a)    the Award Instrument shall specify one or more dates or events permitted under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A) at which time the Award will be settled in cash or vested property;

(b)    the Award Instrument shall specify the manner in which the Award will be paid (e.g., lump sum or installments) and the dates on or periods within which payment will occur;

(c)    the date of settlement of the Award shall not be accelerated except as otherwise permitted under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(j); and

(d)    in the case of a 409A Non-excluded Future Property Transfer that becomes payable as a result of the separation from service of a Participant who is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(i) as applied by the Company, no cash or property shall be paid to the Participant in connection with the settlement of the Award until the day following the 6-month anniversary of the Participant’s separation from service.

10.08    Authority To Amend Plan And/Or Award Instrument.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Committee determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the date of this Plan amendment), the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and/or the applicable Award Instrument as the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to (1) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the  Award, or (2) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance.

10.09    Protection of the Committee and Others.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 10, neither the Company, nor any officer, employee, director or agent of the Company or any affiliate of the Company, nor any member of the Committee, shall have any liability to any Participant on account of an Award hereunder being taxable under Code Section 409A regardless of whether such person could have taken action to prevent such result and failed to do so.  To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify and defend any officer, employee, director or agent of the Company or of any affiliate of the Company, and any member of the Committee, from any claim based on an Award becoming taxable under Code Section 409A resulting from such person’s action taken, or action failed to be taken, in connection with the Plan or any Award Instrument.

ARTICLE 11.
ADMINISTRATION

110.01    Administration of the Plan.  (a)  Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, the Plan shall be administered: (i) by the Compensation Committee with respect to all matters pertaining to Awards that may be made or granted or that have been made or granted: (A) to members of the Board of Directors;  (B) to any Eligible Person who is not an Employee; and (C) except as provided in Section 11.01(a)(ii) below, to any Eligible Person who is an Employee; and (ii) by the Compensation Administration Committee with respect to those specific matters pertaining to Awards to Employees who are not Executive Officers that are within the scope of the authority granted to the Compensation Administration Committee under Section 11.04 below or delegated by the Compensation Committee to the Compensation Administration Committee pursuant to Section 11.05 below.

(b)    No Covered Individual shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan.  The Company shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company, indemnify and hold each Covered Individual harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense (including reasonable attorney fees) or liability (including any amount paid in settlement of a claim with the approval of the Company) arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan or any Award granted pursuant to the Plan.  Such indemnification shall be in addition to any rights of indemnification such individuals may have under applicable law or under the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company.

11.02    The Committee’s  Power and Authority.  In addition to the responsibilities and powers assigned to the Committee elsewhere in the Plan, the Committee shall have the authority, in its discretion, to establish, from time to time, guidelines or regulations for the administration of the Plan, to interpret the Plan, and to make all determinations it considers necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.  All decisions, actions or interpretations of the Committee under the Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties.

The Committee may designate Employees of the Company and professional advisors to assist the Committee in its administration of the Plan and may grant authority to Employees of the Company to execute agreements or other documents on behalf of the Committee in connection with the administration of the Plan.  The Committee may employ such legal counsel, consultants and agents as it may deem desirable for the administration of the Plan and may rely upon any advice and any computation received from any such counsel, consultant or agent.  The Company shall pay all expenses and costs incurred by the Committee for the engagement of any such counsel, consultant or agent.

11.03    Modification of Awards.  (a) To the extent not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan or any provision of applicable law (including, but limited to Code Section 409A), the Committee, in its discretion, may waive or modify any of the terms and conditions set forth in the instrument evidencing the grant of any Award made to a Participant hereunder; provided that, in no event shall the Committee waive or modify the terms and conditions of any Award in a manner which would accelerate the time at which an Eligible Person’s rights under an Award become non-forfeitable or in a manner which would accelerate the time which is otherwise provided for under the terms of any Award, at which an Eligible Person would be entitled to receive any payment of cash or Shares as contemplated by the Award.

(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, no waiver or amendment may be authorized or directed by the Committee pursuant to this Section 11.03 without the consent of the Participant if it would adversely affect, to any material extent, any of the rights or obligations of the Participant with respect to such Award.  In addition, no such waiver or amendment may be authorized or directed by the Committee pursuant to this Section 11.03 with respect to any Option, Restricted Shares or Restricted Units, Performance Shares or Performance Units or Rights awarded to any Covered Executive, if such waiver or amendment would cause the delivery of Shares or the payment of any cash amounts that are made with respect to such Award to fail to be deductible for federal income tax purposes pursuant to the applicable provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder.

11.04    Power and Authority of the Compensation Administration Committee.  With respect to such number of Shares as the Compensation Committee may in its discretion determine to be available from time to time for the grant of Awards in any form to Employees who are not Executive Officers, the Compensation Administration Committee shall have the authority: (a) to determine which of such Employees shall receive Awards in each form; (b) to determine the time or times when Awards in such form shall be made to such Eligible Employees; (c) to determine the number of Shares that will be subject to any Option, or the number of Restricted Shares, Restricted Units, Performance Shares, Performance Units or Rights, to be included in any Award to any such Employee; (d) with respect to any Award of Performance Shares or Performance Units made to any such Employees, to make all determinations which the Committee is authorized to make with respect to such Award under the provisions of Section 6.02, Section 6.07 and Section 6.09(a); and (e) with respect to any Awards made to any such Employees pursuant to the Compensation Administration Committee’s exercise of the authority granted to it under this Section 11.04, to exercise all of the authority and powers granted to the Committee under Section 11.02 above and under the second paragraph of Section 11.05 below, but only to the extent that any such exercise by the Compensation Administration Committee is not inconsistent with any action taken by the Compensation Committee, or with any determination, decision or interpretation of the Plan made by the Compensation Committee, under Section 11.02 above or any delegation made by the Compensation Committee under the second paragraph of Section 11.05 below.

Except for the matters specified in the foregoing paragraph and any additional matters pertaining to Awards to Employees who are not Executive Officers with respect to which authority has been granted to the Compensation Administration Committee pursuant to this Section 11.04, the Compensation 

Administration Committee shall not have any of the authority or powers otherwise granted to the Compensation Committee under any other provisions of the Plan.

The Compensation Committee in its discretion may at any time, by resolution duly adopted by it and without any amendment of the Plan, revoke or modify in any manner or respect the authority and powers granted to the Compensation Administration Committee under this Section 11.04.

11.05    Delegation.  In addition to the authority and powers granted to the Compensation Administration Committee under Section 11.04 above, the Compensation Committee in its discretion may, by resolution duly adopted by it, delegate to the Compensation Administration Committee authority with respect to such other matters pertaining to Awards to Employees who are not Executive Officers as the Compensation Committee may specify in such resolution.  Any authority so delegated to the Compensation Administration Committee may be revoked or modified by the Compensation Committee, in whole or in part, at any time.

The Committee may delegate any ministerial or nondiscretionary function pertaining to the administration of the Plan to any one or more officers or other employees of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

11.06    Non-U.S. Participants.  In order to comply with any applicable provisions of local law and regulations in any foreign country in which the Company or any of its Affiliates operates, the Committee may in its sole discretion: (a) modify the terms and conditions of Awards granted under the Plan to Eligible Persons located in such foreign country; (b) establish subplans with such modifications to the terms of the Plan as it determines to be necessary or appropriate under the circumstances applicable in such foreign country; or (c) take any other action that it deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with, or obtain any exemptions from the applicability of, the local laws and regulations in such foreign country.

11.07    Designation and Change of Beneficiary.  Each Participant shall file with the Committee, or with such Employee of the Company who has been designated by the Committee to receive same, a written designation of one or more persons as the Beneficiary who shall be entitled to receive any Shares or cash amount payable with respect to any Award upon or after the Participant’s death.  A Participant may, from time to time, revoke or change his or her Beneficiary designation without the consent of any previously designated Beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Committee or its designee.  The last such designation received by the Committee or its designee shall be controlling; provided, how-ever, that no desig-nation, or change or revo-cation thereof, shall be effective unless received by the Committee prior to the Participant’s death, and in no event shall it be effective as of a date prior to such receipt.  If at the date of a Participant’s death, there is no designation of a Beneficiary in effect for the Participant pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.07, or if no Beneficiary designated by the Participant in accordance with the provisions hereof survives to receive any Shares or cash amount pay-able under the Plan with respect to the Participant after his or death, the Participant’s estate shall be treated as the Participant’s Beneficiary for purposes of the Plan.

11.08    Taxes.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company and each of its Affiliates may make such provisions and take such steps as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding of all federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to the exercise of any Option or with respect any payments to be made in respect of any other form of Award granted to a Participant under the Plan, including but not limited to: (a) deducting the amount of taxes so required to be withheld from any other compensation or other amounts then or thereafter payable to the Participant, and/or (b) withholding delivery of any Shares or payment of any cash amount otherwise required to be 

delivered or paid to the Participant with respect to the exercise of such Option, or with respect to such other form of Award, until the amount of taxes so required to be withheld has been paid in full to the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies.  With the approval of the Compensation Committee and subject to such terms and conditions as it may require, such amount may be paid in Shares previously owned by the Participant, or by the surrender of a portion of the Shares that otherwise would be delivered or paid to such Participant with respect to his or her Award, or by a combination of payments in cash and Shares.

11.09    Amendment or Termination.      The Board of Directors may, with prospective or retroactive effect, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided, however, that: (a) no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, without the Participant’s written consent, adversely affect the rights of any Participant with respect to any Awards previously granted to the Participant; and (b) no amendment which constitutes a “material revision” of the Plan, as the term material revision is defined in the applicable NASDAQ rules, shall be effective unless approved by the stockholders of the Company in the manner required by such rules and by applicable law.

11.10    Participant Rights Unsecured.  A Participant shall have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to his or her right to receive any cash payment provided for by the instrument containing the terms of any Award made pursuant to the Plan.  The Plan and the instrument containing the terms of any Award providing for the payment of cash shall constitute a mere promise by the Company to make payments in the future of the benefits provided for therein.  It is intended that the arrangements reflected in the Plan be treated as unfunded for tax purposes, as well as for purposes of any applicable provisions of Title I of ERISA.

11.11    Terms of Employment Not Affected.  Neither the Plan nor any Award granted to a Participant hereunder or any other action taken in connection with the Plan shall be construed as giving any Participant any right to be retained in the employment of the Company or any of its Affiliates.  In addition, the Plan, any Award granted to a Participant hereunder and any other action taken by the Committee pursuant to the Plan shall not be deemed or construed to interfere with the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate a Participant’s employment or service at any time subject, however, to the Participant’s rights under any employment contract in effect between the Participant and the Company or any of its Affiliates.

No Award made to a Participant under the Plan, and no payment made with respect to such Award, shall be considered as compensation or wages payable to the Participant for purposes of determining the amount of contributions or benefits the Participant may be entitled to receive under any employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its Affiliates, except as specifically provided in such plan or as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors.

11.12    Successors.  The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon any successor Company or organization resulting from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor Company or organi-zation succeeding to substantially all of the assets and business of the Company. The Company agrees that it will make appropriate provision for the preservation of Participants’ rights under the Plan in any agreement or plan which it may enter into or adopt to effect any such merger, consolidation, reorganization or transfer of assets.

11.13    Binding Effect.  The provisions of the Plan and the terms and conditions contained in the instrument evidencing any Award made to a Participant hereunder shall be binding upon the Participant, his or her successors and permitted transferees.

11.14    Governing Law.  The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without reference to its conflicts of law principles.

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.  Distribution of any lump sum contemplated by the preceding provisions of this Section 2.01(l) and distribution of the first installment of any series of annual installments contemplated by this Section 2.01(l) will be made in the first calendar month following the end of the six (6) month period which begins on the first day following the date the Participant’s employment or status as a member of the Board of directors is terminated and, if distribution is to be made in installments,  subsequent installments shall be distributed in each January thereafter until the end of the installment period selected by the Participant.  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.  In addition, for purposes of determining the amount of interest to be credited to a Participant’s Account pursuant to Section 8.02, the date on which the Participant’s Account is converted to cash shall be: (i) in the case of the termination of an Eligible Employee’s employment, the first day following the date the Eligible Employee’s employment is terminated; and (ii) in the case of the termination of an Eligible Director’s membership on the Board of Directors, the first day following the date the Eligible Director’s membership on the Board of Director’s is terminated.    

8.02    Crediting of Interest.  During the period beginning on the date a Participant’s Account is converted to cash as determined pursuant to Section 8.01(d) above and ending on the day immediately preceding the date of the payment to a Participant of the first installment of any series of installment payments or the date a Participant receives payment of a lump sum distribution of his Account, whichever the case may be, the Committee shall increase the cash value of the Participant’s Account by interest at an annual rate equal to the Applicable Interest Rate.  In addition, in the case of installment payments contemplated by Section 8.03, the value of the Participant’s Account shall be increased by interest at an annual rate equal to the Applicable Interest Rate as of the end of each Plan Year. 

8.03    Distribution of Participant Accounts.  (a)  If a Participant’s employment with the Employer or membership on the Board of Directors (whichever the case may be) is terminated for any reason other than death and, as of the date the Participant’s employment with the Employer or membership on the Board of Directors is terminated, the value of the Participant’s Account (as determined pursuant to Section 8.01(a) or (b) hereof, whichever is applicable), 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; then: (i) the value of each Annual Base Salary Deferral contained in the Eligible Employee’s Account 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 or in five (5) or ten (10) consecutive annual installments, whichever form of distribution of such Annual Base Salary Deferral has been elected by the Eligible Employee in the Base Salary Deferral Election Form which is attributable to such Annual Base Salary Deferral; (ii) the value of each Annual Bonus Deferral contained in the Eligible Employee’s Account 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 or in five (5) or ten (10) consecutive annual installments, whichever form of distribution of such 

Annual Bonus Deferral has been elected by the Eligible Employee in the Bonus Deferral Election Form which is attributable to such Annual Bonus Deferral; and (iii) the value of each Annual Director Fee Deferral contained in the Eligible Director’s Account shall be distributed to the Eligible Director in one lump sum payment or in five (5) or ten (10) consecutive annual installments, whichever form of distribution of such Annual Bonus Deferral has been elected by the Eligible Director in the Deferred Director Fee Election Form which is attributable to such Annual Director Fee Deferral.  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.
