 Restricted Stock Agreement 

 ASSOCIATED MATERIALS GROUP,
INC. 
 2013 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT 

Pursuant to the provisions of the Associated Materials Group, Inc. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”), the terms of the
Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) to which this Restricted Stock Agreement (hereinafter “Restricted Stock Agreement” or “Agreement”) is attached and this Restricted Stock Agreement, Associated Materials
Group, Inc. (the “Company”) grants you that number of shares of Common Stock indicated in the Grant Notice. Capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement or Grant Notice but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as
in the Plan. 
 The details of your Award are as follows: 

1. THE AWARD. The Company hereby awards to you the aggregate number of Shares of Common Stock
specified in your Grant Notice. The Shares are awarded to you in consideration for your service to the Company as an employee, director or consultant to the Company or any of its Affiliates. 

2. DOCUMENTATION. As a condition to the award of the Shares, and prior to the receipt of share certificates by you
(if such certificates are issued by the Company), you agree to execute the Grant Notice, three (3) copies of the Assignment Separate From Certificate (with date and number of shares blank) and the Spousal Consent substantially in the form
attached to the Grant Notice as Attachments II and IV, respectively, and two (2) copies of the Joint Escrow Instructions, substantially in the form attached to the Grant Notice as Attachment III, and to deliver the same to the Company, along
with such additional documents as the Company may require. 
 3. CONSIDERATION FOR
THE AWARD. No cash payment is required for the Shares, although you may be required to tender payment in cash or other acceptable form of consideration for the amount of any withholding taxes due as a result of the
award of, or vesting of, the Shares. 
 4. VESTING. Subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement
and the Plan, the Shares will vest as provided in the Grant Notice. Vesting is contingent upon your continuous service with the Company or any of its Affiliates as an employee, director or consultant. If your continuous service with the Company or
an Affiliate terminates prior to the vesting of all or any number of Shares for any reason, then (i) you shall automatically forfeit any unvested Shares to the Company as of the date of termination without any further action by the Company, and
(ii) if dividends have been credited with respect to any unvested Shares and such Shares are forfeited, all dividends credited in connection with such forfeited Shares shall also be forfeited to the Company. 

5. NUMBER OF SHARES. The number of Shares subject to your Award may be
adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of Section 12 of the Plan and any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which you may be entitled under the terms of the Award shall likewise be subject to the terms of the
Plan and this Agreement. 

  
 1 

 6. CERTIFICATES. Certificates evidencing the Shares may be issued by
the Company and, if so issued, shall be registered in your name promptly after the date hereof, but shall remain in the physical custody of the Company or its designee at all times prior to the vesting of such Shares pursuant to Section 4.
Alternatively, the Company, in its sole discretion, may elect to issue the Shares in uncertificated form, in which case such Shares shall be recorded in your name in the books and records of the Company’s transfer agent. 

7. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. Shares that are received under your Award are subject to the transfer
restrictions set forth in the Plan and any transfer restrictions that may be described in the Company’s bylaws or charter in effect at the time of the contemplated transfer. No Share may, at any time prior to becoming vested, be assigned,
alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by you (including, without limitation, by operation of law) and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and
unenforceable against the Company; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance. 

8. RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. You shall be the record owner of the
Shares until or unless such Shares are forfeited pursuant to Section 4 hereof or sold or otherwise disposed of, and as record owner shall be entitled to all rights of a common stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting
rights with respect to the Shares and you shall receive, when paid, any dividends on all of the Shares granted hereunder as to which you are the record holder on the applicable record date; provided that (i) any cash or in-kind dividends
paid with respect to the Shares which have not previously vested shall be withheld by the Company without interest and shall be paid to you only when, and if, such Shares shall become fully vested pursuant to Section 4, and (ii) the Shares
shall be subject to the limitations on transfer and encumbrance set forth herein. As soon as practicable following the vesting of any Shares pursuant to Section 4, certificates for the Shares which shall have vested shall be delivered to you or
your legal guardian or representative unless the Company elects to issue the Shares in uncertificated form. 
 9.
SECURITIES LAWS.  
 (a) The obligation of the Company to deliver Shares hereunder
shall be subject in all respects to (i) all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations and (ii) any registration, qualification, approvals or other requirements imposed by any government or regulatory agency or body that the
Company shall, in its discretion, determine to be necessary or applicable. Moreover, the Company shall not deliver any certificates for Shares to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement if doing so would be contrary to applicable law. If at any
time the Company determines, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of Shares upon any national securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is
necessary or desirable, the Company shall not be required to deliver any certificates for Shares to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or
obtained, or otherwise provided for, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. 
 (b) It is intended that the
Shares received upon vesting pursuant to Section 4 shall have been registered under the Securities Act. If the Participant is an Affiliate of the Company, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule
144”), the Participant may not sell the Shares received except in compliance with Rule 144. Certificates representing Shares 

  
 2 

 
issued to an Affiliate of the Company may bear a legend setting forth such restrictions on the disposition or transfer of the Shares as the Company deems appropriate to comply with federal and
state securities laws. 
 (c) If at any time the Shares are not registered under the Securities Act, and/or there is no
current prospectus in effect under the Securities Act with respect to the Shares, the Participant shall execute, prior to the delivery of any Shares to the Participant by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, an agreement (in such form as the
Company may specify) in which the Participant represents and warrants that the Participant is purchasing or acquiring the Shares acquired under this Agreement for the Participant’s own account, for investment only and not with a view to the
resale or distribution thereof, and represents and agrees that any subsequent offer for sale or distribution of any kind of such Shares shall be made only pursuant to either (i) a registration statement on an appropriate form under the
Securities Act, which registration statement has become effective and is current with regard to the Shares being offered or sold; or (ii) a specific exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, but in claiming such
exemption the Participant shall, prior to any offer for sale of such Shares, obtain a prior favorable written opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, from counsel for or approved by the Company, as to the applicability of such
exemption thereto. 
 10. MARKET STANDOFF. You agree that the Company (or a representative
of the underwriters) may, in connection with the first underwritten registration of the offering of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act, require that you not sell, dispose of, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for
the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company held by you under the Award, for a period of time specified by the
underwriter(s) (not to exceed approximately two hundred fourteen (214) days) following the effective date of the registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act. You further agree to execute and deliver such other
agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company and/or the underwriter(s) that are consistent with the foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Shares until the end of such period. In addition, Shares that are received under your Award are subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Plan and any transfer restrictions that may be
described in the Company’s bylaws or charter in effect at the time of the contemplated transfer. 
 11.
LEGENDS ON CERTIFICATES. The certificates representing the vested Shares delivered to you or registered in your name, as the case may be, as contemplated by Section 8 above shall be subject to
such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such Shares are listed,
and any applicable Federal or state laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. All certificates representing the Award shall have affixed thereto a
legend in substantially the following form, or such other form as approved by the Committee, in addition to any other legends that may be required under federal or state securities laws: 

THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN THE ASSOCIATED MATERIALS GROUP,
INC. 2013 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN, 

  
 3 

 
A CERTAIN RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT BETWEEN ASSOCIATED MATERIALS GROUP, INC. (THE “COMPANY”) AND THE REGISTERED OWNER OF THIS CERTIFICATE (OR HIS PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST),
WHICH PLAN IS BINDING UPON ANY AND ALL OWNERS OF ANY INTEREST IN SAID SHARES. SAID PLAN IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION WITHOUT CHARGE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY AND COPIES THEREOF WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE TO ANY OWNER OF SAID SHARES
UPON REQUEST. 
 12. AWARD NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT. Your Award
is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your Award shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue to serve as an employee, director or consultant to the Company or any of its Affiliates. In
addition, nothing in your Award shall obligate the Company or any Affiliate, their respective stockholders, boards of directors, officers or employees to continue any relationship that you might have as an employee, director or consultant or as any
other type of service provider for the Company or any Affiliate. Neither you nor any other person shall have any claim to be granted any additional Award and there is no obligation under the Plan for uniformity of treatment of holders or
beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of the Award granted hereunder or any other Award granted under the Plan (or otherwise) and the Committee’s determinations and interpretations with respect thereto and/or with respect to you and
any recipient of an Award under the Plan need not be the same (whether or not you and any such other recipient are similarly situated). 
 13. WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS. 
 (a) At
the time your Award is made, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize the Company to satisfy its withholding obligations, if any, from payroll or any other amounts payable to you, and you further agree to make
adequate provision for any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company, if any, which arise in connection with your Award, to the maximum extent permitted by law. The Committee, in its
sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may satisfy such tax withholding obligations, in whole or in part, by withholding otherwise deliverable Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to (but
not exceeding) the minimum amount required to be withhold and/or by the sale of Shares to generate sufficient cash proceeds to satisfy any such tax withholding obligation. You hereby authorize the Committee to take any steps as may be necessary to
effect any such sale and agree to pay any costs associated therewith, including without limitation any applicable broker’s fees. 
 (b) Unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company, if any, are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to issue a certificate for such Shares or release such Shares from any escrow
provided for herein. 
 14. TAX CONSEQUENCES. You acknowledge that you have had the
opportunity to review with your own tax advisors the federal, state, local and/or foreign tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. You further acknowledge that you are relying solely on such advisors and not on any
statements of the Company or any of its agents. You understand that you (and not the Company) shall be responsible for your personal tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. You further

  
 4 

 
understand that it may be beneficial in certain circumstances to elect to be taxed as of the Grant Date rather than when the Shares vest by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days from the Grant Date. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’S TO TIMELY FILE THE ELECTION UNDER
SECTION 83(b) OF THE CODE, EVEN IF YOU REQUEST THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON YOUR BEHALF. You acknowledge that nothing in this Agreement constitutes tax advice. 

15. NOTICES. Any notices provided for in your Award or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be delivered by
hand or sent by Federal Express, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit
in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company. 
 16.
MISCELLANEOUS. 
 (a) You agree upon request to execute any further documents or
instruments necessary or desirable in the sole determination of the Company to carry out the purposes or intent of this Award. 

(b) You may file with the Committee a written designation of a beneficiary on such form as may be prescribed by the Committee and
may, from time-to-time, amend or revoke such designation. If no designated beneficiary survives you, your estate shall be deemed to be your beneficiary. 
 (c) You acknowledge and agree that you have reviewed your Award in its entirety, have had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing and accepting your Award and fully
understand all provisions of your Award. 
 (d) The waiver by either party of compliance with any provision of the Award
by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of the Award, or of any subsequent breach by such party of a provision of the Award. 
 (e) The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns, and shall be binding on you and your beneficiaries, executors,
administrators, heirs and successors. 
 (f) The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall
not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law. 

(g) This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of laws
principles thereof. 
 (h) This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the
same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. 

  
 5 

 17. GOVERNING PLAN DOCUMENT
AND ENTIRE AGREEMENT. Your Award is subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations that may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. In the event of any
conflict between the provisions of the Plan and any other document, the provisions of the Plan shall control. This Agreement and the Plan contain the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
contained herein and supersede all prior communications, representations and negotiations in respect thereto. No change, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same be in writing and signed by the parties
hereto.

Agreement as provided herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, each party hereto agrees as follows: 

AMENDMENT 

SECTION 1. Amendment to Section 1.01. 
 (a) The definition of “Monthly Period” in Section 1.01 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and inserted in its place shall be the following:

last Business Day of the immediately preceding calendar month. 
 SECTION 2. Miscellaneous. The amendments provided for
by this Amendment shall become effective as of August 22, 2013 upon:
